The two women had been extraordinarily well behaved throughout the rest of Friday, making both of their mothers a little suspicious, and somewhat anxious! Just after they had put Sofia to bed, the phone had rung, and, unusually, neither Callie nor Arizona had raced to answer it! Lucia had squinted slightly before picking up the receiver and muttering "Hello, Robbins-Torres residence. Oh, yes, hello Jo, how IS Alex?"

Callie and Arizona had quickly glanced at each other and tried not to smirk, not realising that Barbara had been watching them and had instantly pursed her lips. Something was going on, she knew it, she knew her daughter, and she was really getting to know Callie to!

"Tomorrow? Really? Well, are you sure? I mean, is he really, is he up to coming for a visit?" Lucia looked over at Barbara and waved her closer. "Well, I don't know Jo, they already have a visitor coming tomorrow. Their surrogate mother, Robyn is coming to show us the latest scans. And their dads are due back tomorrow to! I, I don't want them getting over tired, don't want them doing too much!"

Barbara again cast a quick look at her daughter, and noted the way the younger blonde was trying to look innocent and disinterested as she focused on the TV screen, she noticed to how all of a sudden Callie seemed just so much more interested in her TV Guide than she had a few moments ago.

"I see, he has, really? A week on Monday! So soon? Well, hold on a moment, let me just ask Arizonas mom what she thinks!" Lucia covered up the phone and leaned over to whisper to Barbara. "Seems Alex is going back to work a week on Monday. He wants to spend some time with our girls first, make sure for himself they are really ok, and….as he will be going back before Zona, he wants to ask if there are any special patients he should be looking out for! Jo is going to bring him….she wants to speak to Callie about some Ortho cases…. she thought they would come over about 11:30 am….stay a couple of hours, have lunch. What do you think?"

"Uhmmm, mom!" Arizona called softly. "Couldn't help but overhear….sorry!" she flashed her best smile and gave a small shrug. "I think, well, I think it would be perfect!"

"Well, I….." Barbara went to speak but Arizona quickly cut in

"I really do! I mean, Robyn is coming over about 10:00 am right? Well, if Alex and Jo get here on time they could meet her, and then after she has gone we can just sit and catch up. It would be the perfect opportunity for you and Lucia to take Sofia out for the whole day! She has been getting a little stir crazy stuck in with us so much, and I know she loves the pool, but don't want her getting bored of it!"

"Oooh, yeah!" Callie grinned enthusiastically. "And it would be SO good for you two as well, to have a day off from caring for us 24/7! We will only be on our own with Robyn for an hour….then we will have two doctors in the house! Jo can help us to bed before she goes, if it is nap time, and uhm…we will be ready for when you get home! You could take Sofia to the Zoo? Or maybe to the waterpark! Or, or both! We'll be ok on our own for one day, not like we'll be abandoned or anything!"

Lucia gave a small nod and looked at Barbara. "I think, I think that sounds reasonable, yes?"

Barbara bit the inside of her bottom lip to stop from smiling as she saw the way their two daughters were leaning forward in anticipation. "It's do able!" she chuckled. "Totally do able. Sure, why not….tell 'em it's a plan! We'll even leave a lunch set up for them so Jo doesn't have to cook, because you KNOW that these two won't stick to their diet sheets!"

"Hey, don't you trust us?" Callie laughed

Both Lucia and Barbara just looked at her so Callie sighed and shrugged as Arizona giggled

"Jo, hi, sorry I was so long" Lucia smiled as she spoke into the phone again, "both Arizona and Callie had opinions on the matter. Saturday would be a wonderful day for you to visit, BUT, there are rules! Mrs Robbins and I will take Sofia out for the day, so we are untrusting YOU to look after our girls, can you do that? It is not so easy, they are….difficult and stubborn, too independent, so you will need to be firm with them! Out of the hospital for now, YOU are their boss, don't let them tell you differently!"

"Mom!" Callie gasped

"They will try!" Lucia continued, "They will pull rank and try to be all bossy, don't you listen to them ok? They are to do as you tell them, and I will make sure they know it! So….you are still ok to visit? Alright, goodnight then!"

Callie and Arizona shared another quick glance before Callie buried her head back into her TV Guide and Arizona settled back and pressed the volume key to follow the latest round of Bake Off competition!

Barbara looked at them both and chuckled softly. She had a sneaking suspicion, just a sneaking one, but…having witnessed Callies bathroom melt down, having seen how much stronger the girls were getting and having seen how patient they had both been, the older Robbins merely smirked and kept her ideas to herself. In fact, she sat and plotted to herself, figuring out the best way to help them as she could. Starting, straight away. "Girls!" she said softly, "seeing as you are going to have a few visitors tomorrow, you are going to be kinda busy, uhm, don't you think it would be a good idea to have an early night?"

"But mom!" Arizona grizzled, "it's only 8:30 and I'm not even the least bit sleepy!"

Both Lucia and Barbara chuckled

"What's so funny?" the young blonde pouted

"You sounded just like you did in school! At least I don't have to ask you if you have done your homework first!" her mother explained

"Callie used to sound just like that to!" Lucia giggled, "except she used to fold her arms and huff….uhm….like that!" she added as she noticed her own daughter had indeed crossed her arms and was now actively scowling. "Girls, I think Babs is right. I will feel better knowing that you have had plenty of rest before you have your visitors tomorrow, especially if we aren't going to be here to keep an eye on you!"

"Fine!" hissed Arizona, "but I won't be able to sleep!"

"Maybe another bath, and some hot chocolate would help?" Lucia suggested

Callie reached over and gently stroked Arizonas swollen belly. "Another bath may help your back hun"

Her wife dropped her head against her shoulder and smiled. "You washing my back would help" she whispered

"Happy to help wherever I can!" the brunette smiled back before slowly struggling to her feet. "Can you walk it?" she asked as she looked at her wifes bulky but temporary prosthetic, "or do you want the chair?"

"I'm tired of being pushed around, can walk it, if you can pass me my crutches!"

"The frame may be better hun!"

"Maybe, but it's annoying!"

Callie chuckled. "I know sweetie, trust me!"

"Hmm" Arizona nodded as her mom came over to help her stand as Lucia grabbed the walking frame to pass it over to her and Callie picked up her own crutches so she could follow behind them.

As soon as they entered their bedroom the familiar stand-off began, as Lucia quickly turned and started to grab at her daughters clothes. "MOM!" Callie yelped, "Please for once remember I'm a big girl now!"

"Oh I know that Calliope, these prove that!" her mom said as she prodded at Callies boobs

"Ow!" Callie gasped and looked down in surprise, her mother quickly dragging her hoody over her head as her daughter was distracted

Arizona chuckled as she looked at her wifes shocked face, but before she knew it her own hoody was over her head and on the floor as her mother was reaching to unclasp her bra. "Get off!" Arizona yelped as she swatted her moms hands away…."leave me SOME dignity!"

"Dignity!" her mom hesitated. "Dignity. Fine. Ok. I will go and run the bath, Lucia will HELP you to take off your outer clothes, and then we will help you into the bathroom, where you can help each other with your undies! IF…you stop behaving like a pair of brats!"

"Brats? We are adult women who are MORE than capable of undressing themselves!" Callie scoffed.

"Really?" Lucia smirked. "Then fine, I will help get the bathroom ready and leave you two alone!"

With that the two older woman walked out of the room and left Callie and Arizona staring at each other. "It's ok, we can do this!" Callie smiled

"Sure we can!" Arizona agreed as she carefully lowered herself to the edge of the bed.

"I'll undress first, then help you!" Callie said as she rested her crutches against the bed. With a smile she undid the tie of her sweat pants and dropped them down, she carefully went to step out of them before realising they were stuck on her slipper socks. "Uhm….hmmmm….ok" She sat down on the other side of the bed and gingerly started to reach forward to pull her socks and trousers free, wincing slightly as her back twinged.

"Need help?" Arizona offered as she edged closer and almost managed to grab at Callies foot. Can you lift it a fraction more?"

"I think so…..OH" Callie yelped as she over balanced and slid sideways off the bed. "Ow!" she muttered

"Callie?!" her mother called as she came rushing out of the bathroom, stopping as she saw her daughter sprawled on the floor. "NOW will you let me help you?" she asked as she carefully helped her daughter up off the floor and on to the bed.

Callie merely nodded and scowled as her mother quickly pulled her trousers, slippers and vest top off in less than a minute.

"Stubborn mule!" Lucia whispered as she looked at her daughter. "Did you hurt yourself when you fell?"

"Just my pride!" came the subdued reply

"I'll leave the rest on for Arizona to help you with in there. Calliope, I'm sorry that you think I'm being overbearing, but…you are not as strong as you would like to think you are, and until you can do all this by yourself, you are stuck with me! So, the sooner you accept that, the sooner you will get better, and the sooner I can get back to my husband and my OWN life! You know, you're not the only getting a little frustrated here!"

Callies eyes went wide as she looked at her mother, unable to say anything for several seconds she finally stammered out. "You and dad still…uhm….EEEWWWWWWW!"

Arizona sniggered slightly as she had been listening to the conversation, Callie looked at her and he stopped, mouthing a quick sorry.

"What do you mean eeewwww? Cheeky! Your dad and I aren't that old mija….plenty of life in us yet you know!"

"I just choose to think my folks only did…that…twice, me and Aria!" Callie muttered

"And I choose to think my daughter doesn't do that at all, cos she is still my little girl…guess we are both very wrong huh?" Lucia grinned as she patted her daughters knee before standing and helping Arizona out of her outer garments and removing the cumbersome prosthesis she was temporarily using. "Go on ahead of us Calliope, I will bring Blondie here in to!"

"Blondie? Great, you to!" Arizona shook her head as her mother in law helped her into her chair before pushing her into the bathroom. Arizona gasped as she took in the lit candles around the room. "What? Mom?"

Barbara winked as Callie stepped forward to take her wifes hand. "Not saying you two should be getting up to any monkey business in here tonight," she bent to whisper in her daughters ear, "save your strength for tomorrow!" She stood and grinned as she saw the blush on her daughters cheeks. "But, I want you to relax, enjoy this bath, just the two of you soak it up and relax. Lucia and I will come back in and help you to bed in a half hour or so….yell if you need us sooner. Meantime…Callie, need a hand to get her in the tub?"

Callie lovingly looked down at Arizona and gave a small sigh. "May be safer, do you think?"

The blonde nodded, and didn't complain as her mom took off the last few items of clothing before easing her out of her chair and across to the ledge of their large bathtub. Callie stepped forward, and gently held her as Barbara lowered her down into the warm water.

"I won't help" Lucia said softly as Barbara walked out of the bathroom. "But at least let me know you are safely in the tub. I won't even look, see!" She turned around and looked the other way as Callie fully undressed, her own eyes locked on the blue eye gazing back at her. Carefully, she sat on the edge of the bath, and slowly lowered herself in, hissing slightly as her back twinged again. Lucia finally turned around and smiled to herself as she saw her daughter moving closer to the blonde. "Here" she said as she bent over the tub and hot some switches. "The jets will help your back, and at 26 weeks pregnant, the jets will help your back to Arizona!" She stood and walked to the door. "Enjoy!" she smiled as she closed it behind her and headed to the lounge

"They ok?!" Barbara asked as she handed her a glass of wine.

"Thanks, they're fine. You really think they are gonna behave in there?"

"About as much as I believe they are gonna behave tomorrow!" Barbara chuckled

"They think we are that dumb huh?" Lucia chuckled back

"I do believe they do! But, they've been home a week, and had no real time alone. If it was me and Daniel…I would do the same!"

"I know, same with Carlos and I…..but it is still so much fun to torment them!"

"Mean!"

"Where do you think my daughter gets it from?" Lucia grinned smugly as she took another big sip of her wine

Barbara chuckled as she clinked glasses with the other woman. "So, how much do we tease them tomorrow?"

Lucia just laughed as she downed the contents of her glass

[xx]

"Good morning Robyn? Hi, I'm Barbara, Arizonas mom, we met when you came to see her in the hospital. You look….radiant!"

"Thank you, yes, I remember meeting you. Not exactly fun days huh? How are they doing?" the younger woman asked as she stepped into Callie and Arizonas home

"They are fine!" Barbara told her as she took the younger womans jacket and showed her to her seat. "They'll be right out. Arizona insisted on walking again today but we had a bit of trouble adjusting the harness!"

"Harness?"

"Hmm. She can't use her normal leg. Too much weight now she is so far along, and of course still too weak to just hop about on crutches…so, given the choice of complete bed rest, being wheelchair bound….or using a bulky clunker of a leg that attaches to a harness around her waist. Well…"

"No brainer!" Robyn smiled, "Arizona doesn't seem the type to take to bed rest that easily

"I'm not!" came a familiar voice from the hallway. "Hey Robyn, how ya doin'?"

"Wowzer! Look at the size of you!" Robyn chuckled as she stood to hug the blonde after she had slowly made her way across the lounge on crutches

"Twins remember!" Arizona chuckled as she enviously glanced at Robyns neat little baby bump. "And I'm five weeks ahead of you! I just seemed to blossom in the last couple of weeks!"

"My moms home cooking!" Callie giggled as she hobbled in to join them, also hugging Robyn before the three of them sat down

"You don't like my cooking you know what to do!" Lucia scolded as she walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray of tea

"Take outs?" Callie said with a grin, ducking as her mom playfully swatted at her head.

"I left Sofia in her room colouring, she doesn't know about our plans for the rest of the day, and we wanted to see Robyn to, if that's ok!?" Lucia smiled as she sat on the arm of the chair that Callie had sat on

"So" Barbara said as she sat on the couch opposite. "Do you have the scan pictures with you? Do we get to see our little girl?"

Robyn grinned as she looked at the four excited women. "Of course I do, as promised. And, she is looking good. Everything is going fine…but…well, easier to show you right?" she asked as she rooted around in her large handbag before pulling out a brown envelope and handing it to Arizona, smiling as instantly Callie struggled to move across and flop down next to her wife. They glanced at each other before pulling out the scans, gasping at how clear they were

"Is she, is she giving the bird there?" Callie asked hesitantly

2Yup!" Robyn grinned

"Definitely YOUR daughter!" Arizona chuckled as they passed the scans over to the expectant Grandmas.

"Hey!" Callie playfully pushed at her wife

"Seriously? Robyn, ask Little Miss Innocent her what was one of the first things she learnt to do again after she was injured in a car crash?"

Callie glanced at her and raised a quizzical eyebrow

"Yang snitched!" Arizona grinned at her as she patted her arm

"Damn Cristina!" Callie chuckled

The five of them sat and chatted for nearly an hour before Robyn glanced at her watch. "Whoa, that the time, I have to get going, I'm due at my sisters. WE are having a pamper day at the local Spa. It's her birthday!"

"Ooooh, Spa day, that sounds good. Lots of pampering, a massage, foot rub….mmmmm, I'm jealous!" Arizona smiled as she watched Robyn pull herself to her feet. She went to stand to but the other woman stopped her. Arizona smiled up at her and took her hand. "You sure you're doing okay?" she asked softly as Robyn bent to kiss her cheek

"You both scared me back there" Robyn told her as she cupped her chin gently. "I'm glad you didn't die. So glad. This little one in here" she said as she used her other hand to stroke her tummy, "is going to be a very lucky little girl to have wonderful mothers like you. So strong, so full of love. And, even better, she is going to have two brothers to protect, and a big sister to keep her safe to. Yup, one very VERY lucky little girl. But it's not just for her sake that I'm glad you two didn't'…get dead. It's for my sake to1 I know this is, this is supposed to be business, but seriously….how can anyone meet you two and not like you? You are wonderful. And, I, I am proud to call you my friends"

As she stood up straight again, Callie awkwardly stood up and hugged her to, before both mothers stepped in. With a promise to keep in touch, and the date of her next scan confirmed Robyn headed to the front door, opening it just as Jo Wilson was about to ring the bell

"Oh!" she gasped in surprise. "Hi! You must be Robyn!"

"I am, nice to meet you….but I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a rush!"

"That's ok!" Jo chuckled, "another time maybe!"

"Indeed!" Robyn grinned as she poked her head back in and yelled bye bye.

"Alex!" Arizona cried out happily as her friend and protégé carefully walked in to her home. "Oh, it's soooooooooo good to see you!" she gasped as she struggled to her feet to hug him.

"Well it's good to see you to…uhm…ALL of you. There's a lot see there Robbins!" he grinned as his eyes lingered on her boobs

"Hey, Karev! I'm standing right here while you perv at my wife! Not cool dude!" Callie lightly punched at his shoulder

"I took a knife for you dude! Least you can do is let me look!" he grinned at her

Callies mouth dropped open before she shrugged slightly and nodded. "Sure, you're right. Looking is all you get though!"

"Callie!" Arizona laughed, blushing as she noticed Alexs grin widening as he once again let his eyes trail up and down her body. "I feel like a piece of meat!" she muttered

"And I feel invisible!" Jo huffed

"Relax!" Alex told her. "I'm just making sure that Robbins here really is ok, I'm about to stare at Torres to!"

"The hell you are!" Arizona cried out as she too slapped at his arm. "Behave Karev, sit, and tell me how you're doing!"

The two moms left the friends chatting and went to pack for their day trip. They made sure Sofia had been to the bathroom, before telling her she was going to the Zoo AND the water park. The little girl clapped her hands excitedly, only frowning a fraction when she asked if her mommies were coming to and being told they weren't. She skipped in to the lounge to say bye bye to them, skidding to a halt as she saw who was sitting on the armchair. "Uncle Alex!" she cried out as she ran to him and threw herself on to his lap. "You come see me?"

"I did little Miss Sofia, but then I got told that you were going on a big day out with your Grandmas! How lucky are you? I'm jealous!"

"Come with us? My mommies can't, but you an' Aunt Jo could!" she asked wide eyed

"Sorry shrimp. I can't. I may look better, but the bad man that hurt your mommies hurt me to, and I'm still taking it easy!"

"Are my Grandmas looking after you to?" Sofia wriggled to sit up straight as she looked at him and frowned a fraction.

"No shrimp. Aunt Jo is taking care of me. And I'm almost better, but not up to a wild day at the Zoo!" Alex grinned as he gently pushed back her bangs and kissed her forehead. "A little bird told me you have been looking after your mommies to. I'm proud of you Sofia. You're a good girl, a special girl"

"I'm gonna be a big sister to, so I will have babies to look after!" she told him as she smiled brightly

"And they are going to be very lucky to have you. Now, you best hop down….your big day out is waiting for you!" He gave her one last peck on her cheek as he helped her of his lap and smiled as she ran to her Abuela to put on her light jacket.

As soon as she was zipped up she ran to her momma and her mommy and kissed and hugged them both before saying in her best serious and grown up voice. "Now, all cos I'm not here, don't you two stop getting well. Be good, not naughty. Promise me!"

Both women looked at each other and smirked. "Uhm, ok!" Callie stammered. "We promise…to be good!"

"And not naughty!" Sofia prompted

"That to!" Arizona answered, hoping her daughter wouldn't spot her crossed fingers.

They kissed her bye bye again, and hugged their moms, blushing as Lucia said. "We were going to torment you, but…we know you want us out of the way! So, we will see you this evening…have a lovely day girls! Bye Alex, Jo"

The four of them sat and waited until they heard the car drive off. "Just wait a few minutes!" Callie said softly, "in case they come back!"

Alex sat and laughed as the two women told them some of the things they had coped with as their moms looked after them before he looked at Jo and nodded. "I think it's safe!" he said with a grin. "We should get going, we don't wanna run your day!" he added with a small wink

After hugging both Jo and Alex and watching them leave, Callie turned slowly to Arizona and smirked as she wrapped her arms around her. "Alone at last! Whatever shall we do?"

Arizona grinned shyly back. "Weeeellll" she drawled as she traced her fingers down Callies bare arm. There is something I have been thinking about ALL morning!"

"Oh yeah?" Callie wiggled her eyebrows

"Yeah!" Arizona husked. "A foot rub would be heaven!"

"Foot rub?"

"Foot rub!" Arizona bent forward to huskily whisper. "Got to start somewhere, and believe me when I say I have so many more ideas for today…so, SO many!"

"Foot rub it is then!" Callie smirked again as she slowly led her wife back to their bedroom
