Lost someone very close to me at the beginning of the year. I have to say that it threw me for a loop and left a giant hole in my life that will never be filled. Anyway, that's where I have been and I apologize for not letting you all know but I'm just not that big of a fan of "notes from the author".
Thank you to those still following my stories. I appreciate your patience and your reviews and comments. This chapter is filled with several small parts that I hope read smoother to you than they do to me. I may end up rewriting portions of it. Also, I wanted to mention that I am not a doctor and do not speak Spanish so please forgive any errors. Thanks for reading.
"Ok, lets have a look" Addison smiled reassuringly as she carefully inserted the transducer into Callie's vaginal canal.
"Please, please have good news. I don't think I can take even one more day of those extra hormones. I'm not sure Arizona can take one more day either."
Squeezing her fingers, Arizona smiled down at her. "Hey, you haven't been terrible and I've enjoyed all the extra... cuddling you've been wanting"
"Extra cuddling?" Addison questioned, staring at the ultrasound screen "You two can barely keep your hands off of each other without all the extra hormones. How could you possibly cuddle more?"
Grinning widely, Callie laughed "Well, there's cuddling and then there's …...cuddling"
Raising an eyebrow, Addison stared at her a moment before responding. "To preserve Sofia's innocence, her and I may have to move to a hotel for the next few months." she teased causing Callie to laugh out loud.
Arizona though was watching the screen carefully, the smile slowly fading from her face.
Looking up at her, Callie froze. "What? What's wrong? Did it not work? Are my eggs not there?"
Sensing her building panic, Arizona looked down at her, eyes shining with tears. "If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing, your eggs look amazing"
Turning quickly to Addison, she looked for confirmation "Addie? What do you see? Is everything ok?"
"Oh, yeah. Perfect." she smiled. "I see at least 7 eggs just waiting for me to scoop them up."
"Arizona? Why are you crying?"
"It's really happening, Callie. One of those tiny little eggs is going to become our baby." she smiled brightly, dimples popping. "Sofia's little brother or little sister...I just….I'm so happy"
Callie squeezed her hands, eyes shining with her own tears of happiness.
After comparing their schedules, it was determined that Arizona would give Callie the trigger injection at 9pm that night, meaning that she was scheduled for the retrieval at 9am on Friday, just two days later.
"I'm really glad you decided to do this tonight" Arizona said as she buried her very cold nose into the side of Callie's warm neck.
Yelping, Callie tried to push her away as she snuggled closer beneath the blanket. "You keep your freezing nose to yourself!"
"But you're so warm and irresistible" she grinned, slipping her hand out of its mitten and beneath the brunettes shirt to rest on warm bare skin.
"Arizona!" she gasped causing the blonde to tilt her head back and laugh.
"What? I've been wearing a mitten, how cold could it be?" she teased, grinning up at her.
"Momma, look!" Sofia exclaimed, pulling their attention from each other and up to where their daughter was bouncing excitedly next to Addison. "Look at all the lights!"
Callie had surprised the three with a carriage ride through Central Park and Sofia was loving every minute of it, Addison however did lock look as enthused.
"Ok, listen little miss" she said with one eyebrow raised in a teasingly stern manner. "You pull this blanket off me again and you are riding up with the horses"
Giggling, Sofia's eyes lit up. "That would be awesome! Mommy, can I…"
"Absolutely not, no way." Callie cut her off before she even had a chance to ask. "My plans for the night do not include a trip to the ER. If you promise to help keep Aunt Addie warm though, I promise to get you a hot chocolate and a cookie"
Giggling again, Sofia snuggled up against Addison and wrapped her arms around her. "Hug me, Aunt Addie. This is for cookies!" she demanded. Laughing Addison kissed her head, pointing out the next set of lights to their right.
"So….you have plans huh? For tonight?" Arizona breathed into her ear as she leaned into her and moved her hand to stroke her inner thigh.
"I do" she grinned, dropping a kiss on waiting lips. "I have this new book I want to read and I thought I would have a little alone time in a hot bath later."
Arizona pulled back to look into her eyes, seeing the teasing glint there. "Hmm…." she said "That bathtub is going to be really crowded then because I already have plans to share a hot bath and a glass of wine with my very gorgeous and incredibly sexy girlfriend"
"Oh" Callie pushed her lips into a pout "Anyone I know?"
Not being able to resist, Arizona nipped at the full red lip poking out. "Well, lets see. She is super pretty…"
"Gorgeous"
"What?"
"I believe you said she was very gorgeous" amusement dancing in her dark eyes.
"Oh, you're right...very gorgeous, brilliant, with huge….." Callie raised her eyebrows waiting for the rest.
"...eyes" she finished, giggling as Callie pinched her side. "Huge, beautiful eyes that steal my breath every time they look my way. And she is hot, like dirty hot" her voice dropped lower along with her eyelids as her arousal built.
Clearing her throat, Callie said "Incredibly sexy"
"Yep, that too" Arizona grinned "And she has the biggest heart and she is all mine"
"Well she sounds pretty amazing. I guess you can both join me" she teased
"Oh, I don't share. She's all mine and I'm all hers."
Drawing her closer, Callie cupped her cheek and brushed their lips together. Darting her tongue out, she had just slipped it between pink lips when they were interrupted
"Moms! Stop kissing, you are missing all the lights and corrupting the young!" Sofia giggled, pocketing a $5 bill from Addison as she snickered beside her.
"Ooooh, look!" Addison cooed as the carriage came to a halt. There, before a beautiful display of lights, a man had just dropped to one knee before his stunned companion. The four of them joined in the cheering of the small crowd that had gathered as the woman nodded furiously before throwing herself in the mans arms.
Sofia giggled and clapped as Addison looked on longingly. Snuggling together, Arizona turned her head to avoid the brunette's gaze.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just, it's so romantic. They have their whole lives in front of them and they are committing their futures to each other. It's beautiful" she smiled, blue eyes meeting brown for a brief moment before darting away again.
"Arizona…"
"Really I'm fine. Now where are we going for the promised hot chocolate and cookies?"
"Huh uh. Two needs and a want"
Arizona laughed nervously, tucking a stray strand of blonde hair behind her ear "Ok….hot chocolate, a double chocolate chocolate chunk cookie, and extra whipped cream"
"Arizona…" her voice held a bit of a warning as she arched an eyebrow and stared her down. "What you just saw. Two needs and a want"
Eyes shining bright beneath the lights hanging above them, Arizona squeezed the Latina's hand. "Bathtub talk?"
Considering for a moment, Callie nodded before grinning and dropping a soft kiss on her lips "Ok, bathtub talk"
"When I get married, I want a really pretty dress that's better than all the princess dresses! And at my party, I want donuts, ice cream and cookies and a giant cake!" Sofia announced before taking a big bite of the chocolate chip cookie in her hand.
Looking on, the three women laughed at her excitement.
"Also ponies! I want a white pony to ride to the church on!"
"Sounds like Mommy and I better start saving now" Callie teased as she winked at Arizona who was sitting across from her in the large booth they had found tucked away in the corner of their favorite bakery cafe.
Blue eyes smiled back at her before looking back down at the mound of whip cream topping her mug of hot chocolate.
Callie's grin faded a little as she saw how far away the blonde seemed to be, her mind obviously focused elsewhere as she swirled her tongue around the tip of the cream.
"What kind of cake do you think you'll want, Sof?" Addison asked, sipping on the hot coffee she held cradled in her still cold hands.
Bouncing in the seat next to Callie, Sofia rolled her eyes up to the ceiling and bit her bottom lip as she thought about it. "Hmmm…...chocolate!" she exclaimed "How about you?"
"My favorite is carrot cake...with cream cheese frosting. I wonder if they have any here?" Addison responded turning to look at the menu hanging behind the counter.
"How about you Momma? What kind of cake is your favorite?"
Tearing her eyes from the way the blonde's tongue was licking away, she smiled at their daughter. "I like lots of different kinds, but probably red velvet. How about you, Mommy?" she asked, trying to draw Arizona's attention back to them.
"Arizona?" she grew more concerned as the blonde continued to lap at the whipped cream with a far away look on her face.
"Mommy!" Sofia demanded, lips pushing out into a small pout
Blue eyes darted up and she smiled "Sorry, little miss, what did you say?"
"I wanted to know your favorite flavor"
"Oh, that's easy" she grinned before turning her heated gaze to the older Latina "I've just been sitting here craving caramel covered with cream"
Callie's mouth went dry as those midnight blue eyes met her own and then, as Arizona lapped at the whipped cream again without breaking eye contact, every ounce of fluid in her body seemed to streak down to her center.
"Alright!" Addison tossed her napkin on the table and slid out of the booth. "I'm going to go get some carrot cake to take back….and maybe run next door for some batteries. You two are killing me"
Arizona tossed her head back and laughed at her friend before turning to wink at where Callie was still sitting stunned. "I think she is going to like the surprise we have for her. By the way, do we have any whipped cream at home? I really want to see how fast it melts on warm caramel" she asked, eyes widening with false innocence even as her gaze dropped down to take in the brunette's cleavage.
"Mierda" Callie whispered under her breath. "I think she will love it, although I may love it more. Mija, it's time to finish up. It's almost bedtime"
"Momma? Why does Aunt Addy need batteries?"
"What are we doing here?" Addison asked as their cab stopped at the hotel owned by Callie's father.
Shooting the brunette a wide grin, Arizona turned and grinned at their friend. "Well, we thought, after all you've done for us we would do something nice for you."
"What do you mean? You're kicking me out?"
"Hardly" Callie scoffed "But you won't need those batteries" she said with an arched brow as the door closest to Addison was opened.
"Hey babe" Jake said, leaning in to kiss her cheek "Surprise"
"Mommy!" Henry squeezed between them to wrap her arms around her neck.
After a mini reunion on the sidewalk, hugs all around, and a huge tip for the cab driver they were finally back at their apartment building short one very grateful and excited Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery Reilly who would be spending the night with her family.
"Now, about my favorite flavor" Arizona whispered as she pressed Callie against their bedroom door. They two had managed just barely to keep from touching each other because of Sofia, but the little girl was now sleeping soundly down the hallway and two closed doors away.
"...what was it again?" Callie whispered, pulse pounding as Arizona pinned her wrists up and against the door and bent to suck on the sensitive skin right below her ear.
"Mmmm..." she hummed, tongue making a slow and tortuous swipe along her collarbone. "Warm caramel...so good. These stay here" she demanded, pushing gently on her wrists before releasing them to work on the buttons of the Latina's shirt.
Content with letting Arizona lead, Callie kept her hands up until she had been stripped to the waist Digging her fingers into her hair, she still tried to comply even as her knees weakened. Arizona took her time exploring her soft abdomen, sliding her hands up to trace her ribs and explore the area between her breasts. She was careful to not actually touch her breasts with anything other than her hot breath as her lips traveled slowly behind her hands, caressing the warm skin with her lips and then finally her tongue. She found her mouth as one slender hand finally brushed against the underside of a full breast, the touch barely perceptible but just enough to have the brunette whimpering as her tongue stroked her bottom lip.
She whimpered again as Arizona drew her tongue back into her mouth and sucked on it, both hands now cupping her breasts and squeezing gently before tracing their fullness with her palms. Her neglected nipples were almost painfully tight and her core fluttered with need as Arizona continued the tortuous massage, stopping occasionally to squeeze the now swollen mounds but always careful to avoid her nipples. Breaking away from the kiss, Arizona again let her lips wander down the length of her neck occasionally moaning at the taste of the brunette beneath her tongue. "You taste so good, Calliope" she whispered, nipping at the skin beneath her teeth.
Callie could feel her legs trembling and tugged at her own dark locks as her need built. "Arizona, please!" she cried out "please, please, please"
Fingertips circled her areolas, nails dragging over the tightened skin as Callie begged and pleaded. Her hips bucked as she continued trying to find some relief for her pulsating clit but Arizona refused to let her ride her thigh, pressing their hips tightly together to hold her in place. Desperate, Callie reached down to touch her own breasts but her hands were quickly slapped away. "These stay above your head or I will tie them to our headboard" Arizona whispered hotly in her ear as she pressed her wrists to the door again.
"Oh fuck" Callie gasped as her knees threatened to buckle at the image.
Tearing her mouth from the brunette's delicious skin, Arizona looked up at her. "Is that what you want, Calliope? Do you want me to tie you up and have my way with you?"
Callie gasped as fingers finally found a tight nipple and rubbed over it causing the brunette to forget the question.
Wrapping an arm around her neck, Arizona threaded her fingers through dark curls and gave a firm tug. "I need an answer, Calliope"
She whimpered as another hot gush of fluid threatened to ruin her jeans but remembered to nod. "Oh fuck, yes! Please!"
Arizona was on the edge of an orgasm herself, fully dressed and completely untouched, as she gazed at the brunette. Her eyes were shut, head tilted back against the door, and so much glorious caramel skin on display. Dark hair fell in gentle curls over her shoulders and just brushing the top of her naked and now swollen breasts. Her nipples were dark and distended, begging for the blonde to suck them into her mouth. This isn't exactly how she thought this would go tonight but she certainly wasn't against it. The thought of having Callie tied up and at her mercy made her own center clench with need.
Releasing her, she took a step back just enough to watch herself lower the brunettes zipper. The scrap of white silk looked incredible against her skin and she found she desperately wanted to remove them with her teeth.
"Take your jeans off, but not those panties. Lay on your back in the center of the bed and don't you dare touch your breasts, those are mine" she demanded, quickly shedding her own clothes while she watched Callie rush to follow her directions. Reaching in the closet to grab a few silk scarves, she quickly crawled onto the bed to straddle the brunette before giving her another deep kiss as she teased her nipples with the scarves.
"Arizona" she gasped, arching up towards her.
"Hands above your head" she said, scooting up until her wet folds brushed over tight nipples as she tied each of the brunette's wrists to the headboard. The sensation was more than arousing. Grasping the headboard, Arizona slowly dragged her center over each tight nipple a few times moaning as they pressed against her clit.
"OH YES!" Callie gasped overwhelmed by the sensation of her course curls scraping her overly sensitive breasts and the wet heat of her arousal coating her skin.
Arizona had to force herself to move back down to circle her nipples with her tongue, lapping up the wetness she had deposited there and causing another gush of arousal to coat the brunette's thighs through her soaked panties. Looking down to see it glistening on her beautiful skin, she looked at Callie and grinned before dropping another heated kiss on her lips. "You are making quite the mess, Calliope. I can't wait to clean that up for you" Whimpering, the brunette tested the ties holding her arms above her head. Finding very little give, she bucked her hips towards Arizona who sat up to gaze in wonder at the woman below her.
"You are so beautiful, Calliope. Always. I really love you like this though. Out of your mind with need, nearly naked, and completely at my mercy. I could get use to this" she smirked as she teased her nipples with the very tip of her fingers before raking her nails over them and causing the brunette to whimper as her eyes slammed shut and her head pressed into the pillows beneath her. Giving her breasts another squeeze, she rubbed her nipples sometimes barely brushing them and other times applying firm strokes that had the Latina cursing and twisting her wrists against the scarves holding them in place. Reaching for the can of whipped cream she had strategically put near the bed while Callie was putting Sofia to bed, she rolled the cold can over her nipples smiling as she hissed at the contact. When Callie began endlessly begging and pleading and arching up, Arizona gave each nipple a sharp pinch before tugging on them. "Oh fuck, Arizona!" she cried out just the blonde bent her head to stroke her tongue over each tip. Callie gasped and moaned as her velvety tongue flicked and rubbed over her before engulfing her nipple in the wet heat. Her fingers toyed with the other nipple as she moved back and forth between them. Opening the can, she sprayed a dollop of the cold cream on each tip before preceding to lick and suck it off. Callie could feel the orgasm building within her. It seemed that it was always building when Arizona was near. She wasn't expecting it to suddenly explode out of nowhere though, the sensations spreading like waves through her body the moment Arizona bit down.
"So...that proposal was pretty great, yeah?" Callie murmured in her ear as she used a soapy cloth to wash the last remaining remnants of the whipped cream off of pale breasts. Arizona had spent nearly an hour worshiping the brunette's body, fulfilling her promise to clean the wetness from between her thighs and bringing her to completion several times before finally untying her. It had taken Callie a few minutes to regain her strength but when she did, Arizona quickly found herself on her back with the rest of the cold cream slowly melting on her heated skin.
Taking a sip of her wine, Arizona nodded."It was beautiful. She was so excited and what he said was so heartfelt" She pressed back into the Latina's warmth, loving being cradled in her arms as they relaxed in the warm scented water.
They fell silent for a moment as they both remembered what they had witnessed
Reaching down to lace their fingers together where they rested on her abdomen, Arizona tilted her head so that she could see the dark chocolate eyes that she loved. "I need you, I need our family, I want to be by your side forever. Those are my two needs and a want. I love our life right now, Calliope. I am so incredibly happy. When I see two people at the beginning of their journey it just reminds me of ours. Where we started, where we are now and everything in between.
Despite her skin being tender from the trigger injection Arizona had given her, Callie's eyes grew heavy as she looked down at the blonde in her arms loving the contrast of their skin and the way Arizona's fingers tangled in her own dark curls that had fallen from the messy bun she had tossed them into. Her blue eyes were warm and intent as she gazed up at the Latina, lips parted in invitation. Her gaze lowered to linger on bare breasts topped with tight pink buds and their clasped hands right below. It was perfect. A perfect moment that she never wanted to forget. "I love you, Arizona." she whispered, pressing their foreheads together before brushing their noses together. "I love you too, Calliope" she breathed out just as their lips touched.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Please?
