Chapter 32
The shower curtain was pulled back and Arizona was hit with a gush of cold air. The next thing she knew she was engulfed in a hug by her very naked wife. 'Do you need some help?' Callie asked into her ear.
'Oh yes please.' Arizona said. Callie's hand were traveling lower and lower down her body. Despite the very warm water beating down on her, she shivered involuntarily. She wanted to grab a quick shower before they made their way across town to look at a house. Callie, on the other hand, had very different ideas about that shower. Callie started kissing and sucking on Arizona's neck as she pulled her body tighter into her own. She moved her right hand down and easily slid into her wife's center. 'Jesus.' Arizona cried out.
'Calliope is fine.' Callie smirked. She loved the effect that she had on Arizona's body. Arizona was so sexy. She wanted her all the time. Even without the crazy pregnancy hormones. Arizona ground her ass into Callie and moaned loudly as Callie stroked in and out of her. Callie moved her other hand up and pinched and pulled Arizona's nipple. Arizona was close.
'Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh Callie. Right there! Oh I'm coming!' she yelled. Callie curled her fingers inside Arizona making sure her wife rode out every single wave of pleasure. Arizona slumped back and Callie hugged tightly pressing another kiss behind her ear. 'You are so amazing, Calliope. I love you so much.'
'I love you too, my love. The water is getting cold and we have a house to look at.' They washed themselves quickly and were ready and out the door in an hour.
The house they were looking at was the one that was a few houses down from Amber's. They liked the neighborhood already. They hoped that they would like the house as well. It was a two story brick house with a two car garage. From the outside, it looked to be very well maintained and updated. The front yard had a big tree that provided great shade. The front door opened and a woman stepped out. 'Hey there, my name is Charlotte and I will be showing you the house today. You must be the Robbins-Torres's.'
'Yes, My name is Arizona and this is my wife Callie.'
'Pleasure, so what do you say we head inside? I think you will like what you see.'
They entered the house and immediately entered a huge open living area. There was a fireplace in the corner of the room and stairs on the other side leading up to the second floor. 'So down here we have two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. Upstairs there are three more bedrooms and two more bathrooms. If you two will follow me this way, we'll head to the kitchen.' Charlotte said.
They walked through an archway and into the kitchen. Callie stopped dead in her tracks. All of the appliances were brand new stainless steel and had a cooktop island in the middle of the large kitchen. She had literally dreamt of having a kitchen like this ever since she was a little girl. 'Arizona, this kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. It has everything I want in it already. Can you imagine the holiday dinners we can have here?'
Arizona looked around. The kitchen did look great. She obviously did not enjoy cooking as much as her wife. She was happy to see the excitement on her wife's face. She hoped the rest of the house was as nice as the kitchen. 'It's perfect Calliope. It will be nice to host a family dinner here.'
'If you all will turn your attention over here, we have the sliding door that leads to the patio and pool area.'
'There's a pool?' Callie asked.
'Yes, the owners had it installed a few years ago and an outside grilling area as well.' Charlotte explained.
They walked outside and found that the patio was similar to Amber's down the street, but what they were excited for was the pool. There was a diving board and a slide on one end a hot tub connected to the other end. 'Wow.' Arizona breathed out. The backyard looked amazing. There was even a tire swing hanging from the tree in the corner of the yard.
After seeing the backyard, they went through to the downstairs bedrooms. One of the rooms was a little small, but could easily be an office or a game room or something. The other room was pretty big and had a connected bathroom. The bathroom was really nice as well. It looked like it had also been remodeled recently with new looking subway tile and large bathtub. So far they liked everything about the house.
They made their way upstairs. At the top of the stairs was a bedroom. It was a good size with plenty of closet space. It had a jack and jill bathroom that connected to another bedroom. It was a perfect mirror of the first bedroom. Perfect for their kids. When they opened the master bedroom's door, they were blown away. It was huge. It had vaulted ceilings and could fit two king sized beds easily. It had two massive walk in closets and a window nook that would be perfect for a little bassinet to fit in. Callie made her way into the master bath. It was the biggest bathroom she had ever seen. It had a large tub with jacuzzi jets. A large walk in shower with a bench seat. What she liked the most about the bathroom was the wall length mirror with the double sink vanity. The whole house blew her away. She wanted this house.
'Arizona, honey… Please tell me you like this place. This is our house. We need this house.' Callie said looking at her wife.
Arizona didn't really have to think about it. She loved the place too. 'Yes, Calliope. This is our house. Let's find Charlotte so we can have the paperwork drawn up.'
Charlotte was waiting for them in the living room area. 'Well ladies? What are we thinking?'
'We're thinking we need to make an offer.' Arizona said.
'Outstanding. I knew you would like it. I could tell by the look on your wife's face when she walked into the kitchen.'
'The whole house is gorgeous. I'm glad we got to look at it.'
'It's only been on the market for a week now. I think the owners want to sell it quickly so that they can move on to warmer weather so chances are good if you put in a good offer.' Charlotte said.
'Let's do it.'
After putting in the offer, they had to be at work so they made their way to the hospital. 'How great was that place Arizona? I really hope they accept our offer. It's perfect for us and our family.' Callie said rubbing her belly.
'I want it too, Calliope. I think we made a good enough offer. Since the owners want to sell quickly, I think we have a good chance.' Arizona reached her hand over and grabbed Callie's in hers. She gently kissed her knuckles and shifted her eyes back to the road ahead.
Amber was standing by the nurses station filling out a chart when she felt someone tapping the back of her leg. She turned around and was surprised to see Jared looking at her. 'Um… Jared. Hey little buddy. How's your arm?'
'It good. Dada want to talk to you.' Jared said.
Amber looked up and sure enough there was her husband walking towards her. Amber took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She had not talked to him in over a week since finding out about his other family. 'What?' she asked once he was close to her.
'I got some papers the other day. Divorce papers. You had them drawn up fast.' Tyler said picking up his son.
'Yeah. If you had read them, you would know that you are not supposed to come within 100 feet of me and the kids until we go to court.' Amber said trying to remain calm.
'You can't keep me from my kids.' Tyler said through gritted teeth. Just then Jared lunged forward causing Amber to have to catch him. She was now holding her husband's bastard child.
'I'm not keeping you from your kids. Your bad decisions are keeping you from your kids. Well, some of your kids. Is he the only other one?' she asked handing the child back. She was careful not to touch the man.
Tyler took another step closer to Amber. 'I want to see my kids. If you don't let me see them, you won't like what I will do.'
'Don't try to threaten me, Tyler. You have no right. You humiliated me in a pretty freaking obvious way. Did you even think about what you were doing? To me? To your kids?' Amber was trying to stay strong, but she felt her eyes threatening to tear up. 'You need to leave. I'll see you in court.' Amber turned to walk away.
Tyler grabbed onto her shoulder and spun her around. 'I WANT TO SEE MY FUCKING KIDS… OR ELSE.' he yelled causing everyone's attention to turn their way.
Jared got scared at his dad's sudden outburst that he lunged back into Amber's arms again. 'No yell Dada. Dr. Amber is nice.'
Chief Webber heard all the commotion and made his way over. 'Mr. Robbins, I am going to have to ask you to leave. This is a hospital and I will not have you yelling at my attending.' Amber handed the child back again.
'You made attending? Who the hell did you sleep with to get that position?' Tyler sneered at his wife.
'MR. ROBBINS… get out before I call security.' Webber said sternly.
'Fine, I'll go. I want to see my kids Amber.' with that said, he walked away and out of the hospital.
The Chief turned back to the doctor. 'You ok?'
Amber cleared her throat. 'I'm fine sir. Could I take a long lunch please?' she needed time to process what just happened.
'Of course.'
Callie and Arizona were walking into the hospital when they saw a pissed off looking Tyler walking out with a small child in his arms. 'Was that..?' Callie started.
Arizona was nodding, not needing Callie to finish asking her question. They went inside and immediately went to the ER. 'Where's Amber?' they asked April.
'I don't know. Her husband was here and the Chief had to step in. He was yelling and threatening her. She took off after that.' April explained.
They spent some time searching the hospital. They started in the attending lounge. Her belongings were still in her locker so they knew she didn't leave. The looked in the break room, the bathrooms, anywhere they could think of before Callie got an idea. 'Come on, I think I know where she is.' she grabbed Arizona's hand and they made their way to the roof. At first they didn't see anyone, but then Callie saw it. The cloud of smoke coming from behind one of the columns.
Amber was leaning back on one of the rooftop columns. She had already gone through two cigarettes and was working on her third when she heard someone approaching from behind. She wiped her face of tears and turned to see who was coming.
'Callie, get back. You're pregnant.' she said swiping the smoke from the air.
'You smoke?' Arizona asked.
'When I'm stressed out. Yes.' Amber said.
'I tried to get her to quit in med school. When she got pregnant, she quit. I thought for good.' Callie explained to her wife.
'I did quit. I thought for good too.' Amber said stomping out the cigarette.
'What happened?' Arizona asked.
'Tyler was here and wanted to see the kids. I have it in the divorce papers that he was not allowed to see them until we went to court and arranged visitation. Until then he was not allowed within 100 feet of me or them. He threatened me, or tried to anyway. And his freaking kid kept jumping into my arms. He did it twice!' Amber was getting worked up again.
'Are you ok?' Callie asked.
'Yeah. I'll be ok. I just need some time. Chief gave me a long lunch to calm down. Just wish that I wasn't in this position.' the other women nod in understanding.
'It's going to be ok, Amber. One day, it's going to be ok.' Arizona said.
'Thanks for saying that Arizona. I hope you are right.'
Arizona's phone went off in her bag. 'Hello?' she asked after answering. 'This is Arizona.' She listened for a minute before a big smile crept onto her face. 'That was fast. Thank you Charlotte. Yes, we'll be over as soon as we can. Thank you. Bye.' She turned to face her wife. 'Calliope… we got the house.'
'We…we got it?' Callie couldn't believe it.
'We got it, baby!'
'Care to fill me in? What house?' Amber asked. She couldn't help but smile because of the excitement.
'The Rogers house. It's now the Robbins-Torres house!' Callie cheered.
Amber's eyes widened. 'Are you serious? Congratulations! Oh my God. That is such good news. Welcome to the neighborhood!'
Thanks to everyone who read the chapter. I loved reading all the comments for the last couple of chapters. Like I said, we are on a roller coaster. Will Amber hold it together or will she snap? Will Arizona knock Tyler over the head with an actual brick? We will have to wait and see.
