Chapter 40

The hospital was hosting a black tie New Year's Eve party to raise money for charity. Everyone was encouraged to attend and represent the hospital. Callie and Arizona both worked during the day allowing them to attend most of the event for the evening. They were both looking forward to hanging out with their hospital friends again. Christmas ended up being a very enjoyable day after Aria apologized. She did try and included Arizona in the conversation and gave her a big hug before she had to leave for her Christmas party. She had even promised Callie that she would talk to their father. They both wanted a complete family again.

Callie had just emerged from the bathroom when she heard a gasp. She looked up and saw Arizona standing there looking at her. 'What, what's the matter? Do I look ok?' She moved her hands to cover her stomach. She was nervous to wear a dress with her growing baby bump.

'Calliope, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. You are glowing.' Arizona said stepping up to her wife. She hooked her arm around Callie and pulled her in for a kiss. 'I'm going to have to keep a brick in my bag to keep people away from you. You are stunning.'

'You're not so bad yourself. I am looking forward to doing a little dancing with you. It's been awhile since we were dancing together.' Callie said placing another kiss on Arizona's lips.

'You're right. It has been. We have to plan a dancing night. We can even just have it at home in our underwear.' Arizona smirked.

Callie looked at her wife with a glazed look in her eyes. Amber had warned her of how horny she was going to be the further she got into her pregnancy. Callie didn't believe her when she said she would want sex ALL the time. She was very very wrong. Picturing Arizona dancing around in her underwear was all it took. She wanted to drag her wife to the bed right then and there.

Arizona pulled back and went to grab her purse. 'Are you ready to go Calliope?'

Callie shook her head and smiled at her wife. Arizona was in for a really good time when they returned from the fundraiser party. They headed out and started out to the convention center that Webber had rented out for the evening.

When they arrived at the convention center, they were immediately hit with the amazing and sophisticated decorations. 'Webber went all out this year, didn't he?' Callie asked as they walked in through the black and white balloon archway. Arizona entwined their fingers. They entered the main room and were blown away once again. There was a photo booth in one corner, an open bar, a big dancefloor, and a buffet style dinner table with a massive spread of food.

They both grabbed plates and sampled a little of everything that was available. Shrimp cocktail, filet mignon, steamed vegetables, rice, pasta salad. It all looked delicious. They found a seat at a table with Meredith and Derek already sitting down. 'Hey guys, do you mind if we sit?' Arizona asked.

'Not at all. How was Miami?' Meredith asked.

'It was good. I actually got a chance to reconnect with my sister. I'm not sure if I trust her yet, but at least we are talking again.' Callie said.

'I didn't even know that you had a sister. That's really great though.' Meredith said.

'It's a long story, but we are hopefully reconnected for good. I missed her. Oh wow, this food is good.' Callie said taking another big bite of her steak. 'How are you two doing?'

'Oh we are really good. We are building a house on Derek's land here. It's going to look really nice once it's finished.'

'That's awesome!' Arizona said. 'We are excited to get the nurseries all decorated for our little ones. It seems like just yesterday Calliope told me she was pregnant and now we are halfway there.'

'Those babies are going to be so loved. You two are perfect for each other. It really makes me sick how much love oozes off of you both.' Meredith smirked.

'What can I say, I found my soulmate.' Callie said squeezing Arizona's knee.

Just then Amber and Lexie came up to the table. Amber grabbed her cup and downed her water. They had been dancing to quite a number of songs and she needed to rehydrate. She set her cup down and turned to her friends. 'Hey there. You both look great!'

'Hey Am, you two look amazing. Who has the kids for the evening?' Callie asked her friend.

'Susan and Thatcher are keeping them tonight.'

'Who?'

'Lexie's mom and dad. They love keeping them over. Her sister Molly has a kid about Maci's age. They have all three of them tonight.' Amber explained.

Lexie wrapped her arm around Amber's waist. 'Come on, talk later. I'm not done dancing with you, hot stuff.' she said into Amber's ear causing the woman to shiver. Amber was pulled back to the dancefloor.

Callie turned back to the table where Meredith was looking very confused. 'What's wrong Mer?'

'Ellis said that my father's name was Thatcher, but that he was dead. Lexie's dad's name is Thatcher. Her last name is Grey. That can't be a coincidence, can it?' Meredith asked.

'Um, I don't know. I wish she was still around so that you could get some answers. Maybe you can talk to Lexie about it. She is really cool.' Callie said looking out to the dancefloor. 'Woah. Are you all seeing this?'

Amber had her hands traveling up and down Lexie's sides lightly grazing the sides of her breasts. She had her face buried in the crook of Lexie's neck placing open mouthed kisses up and down the exposed skin. Lexie spun and attached her mouth to Amber's. They were both moving to the music, kissing in time with the beat. Amber moved her hands to cup Lexie's ass and grinding their bodies together. Callie couldn't bring herself to look away. It was like porn on the dancefloor. She imagined that it was her and Arizona out there grinding on each other. She loved being pregnant for the most part, but she knew that she would not be able to be that close to the blonde soon. Her baby bump was steady growing.

Arizona cleared her throat. 'You still with us Calliope?'

Callie snapped out of her trance. 'Oh, uh yeah. What were you saying?'

'I was asking you if you wanted to dance with me.'

'Yeah, let's dance.'

The song had changed to a slow song which was perfect. Callie wanted to have her hands all over Arizona. Her libido was seriously on overdrive tonight. They walked out to the dancefloor. Callie grabbed Arizona around the waist and Arizona draped her arms over Callie's shoulders. They swayed and rocked in time with the slow song. It was very romantic. 'I love you Arizona.' Callie said looking into blue eyes.

'I love you too. You are gorgeous tonight, Baby. So sexy in that dress.' Callie wrapped her arms around Arizona a little tighter.

The slow song ended and a faster song came on. 'Oh I love this song!' Arizona said.

'Then we are dancing to it, but after that, can we take a break? I don't want to overdo it in these heels.'

'Absolutely.'

Callie began rocking her hips to the music while Arizona moved around her. They came together for a quick kiss and Arizona grabbed onto Callie's hips. Their bodies were pressed together tightly from breasts to pelvis. The song finished eventually and they started back to the table. 'Are you alright?'

'Yeah, I am starting to feel it in my feet though. I might have to sit out for a little bit.' Callie said.

'That's ok. I need you to keep up your energy. As beautiful as you look in that dress, I can't wait to take it off of you later.' Arizona whispered into her ear.

They sat at the table and watched as their hospital family and friends had a great evening. Bailey joined them with her boyfriend Ben. They had made it official and had been seeing each other for a few weeks. Callie's eyes traveled back out to the dancefloor where Amber and Lexie were still in their own world. Lexie was behind Amber now and she had her hands all over her thighs and stomach. Amber rolled her head back to lay on Lexie's shoulder. Her eyes shut from the feeling of her girlfriend pressed into her. Lexie leaned down and began kissing Amber. Callie poked her lip out and ran it along her bottom lip. She imagined Arizona's lips on hers. Arizona's hands all over her. These damn hormones. Arizona noticed that Callie's attention was once again focused on Amber and Lexie. She was getting annoyed. That was the second time that evening that she had caught her wife staring at the other women. The song ended and Callie saw Amber say something to Lexie. Lexie nodded and she started walking away towards the restroom. Callie grabbed her purse and excused herself from the table. She followed Amber into the women's restroom. Arizona waited a moment before she also excused herself and followed the other women.

When she got to the restroom door, she heard Callie and Amber talking. She leaned in to listen to the muffled conversation.

'What if Arizona finds out?' she heard Amber say.

'Arizona won't find out. This is just between me and you. Come here.' Callie said.

She heard what she assumed was Amber moving closer to her wife. It was quiet for a few seconds. 'Oh Callie. That's so nice.' That was it. She couldn't listen to anymore.

She busted into the bathroom and saw the two women break away from the other. 'Arizona won't find out what?' she asked with her hands on her hips.

Amber looked at Callie not sure what she wanted her to say. Callie was also at a loss. She couldn't come up with a cover story quick enough. She held out her phone that was behind her back. 'I was hoping that you wouldn't find out about this.' Callie said.

Arizona walked over and looked at the image on the phone. On the screen was the most beautiful ring that she had ever seen. 'I am having it made and engraved with the twin's birthdate once they are born. I wanted to do something special for you since you have been so incredible to me. I just wanted to surprise you with it.' Callie said.

Callie lowered her phone and walked out of the restroom with her head hanging. Arizona stood in the room feeling foolish. Once again, she had jumped to conclusions about the two friends. Amber squeezed Arizona's shoulder and walked out of the restroom to find her friend and girlfriend.

Arizona spent a few minutes trying to compose herself. She was going to have to beg for forgiveness for this one. She walked back out to the table and sat quietly next to her wife. Callie wouldn't even look at her. Neither of them contributed much to the table conversation. Finally, Callie turned to Arizona and asked if they could leave.

The drive home was silent. Callie just looked out the car window. Arizona tried to reach over and grab Callie's hand, but Callie pulled her hand away. Arizona pulled into their garage and Callie got out of the car before Arizona could even turn the car off. She was in the house and up the stairs. Arizona heard their bedroom door shut. She stood in the kitchen wondering how she could get her wife to talk to her again.

She didn't want her wife to go to sleep mad at her. Especially not on New Year's Eve. She wanted to be wrapped up together in bed making love. That was the plan she had before they left for the dinner anyway. She needed to make it right. She paced around the bottom level of the house trying to figure out what she was going to say to apologize to her wife. After a few minutes, she made her way up the stairs. She slowly walked to their bedroom and placed her hand on the doorknob. She turned the knob and pushed the door open as slowly and quietly as she could.

Callie had been waiting for her wife to come into the bedroom. She was waiting by the door. She grabbed Arizona by the wrist as soon as she entered the bedroom and began kissing her deeply. Arizona was caught off guard, but returned the kiss with equal passion. Callie unzipped Arizona's dress and pulled her to the bed. She pushed her down and bent down to remove Arizona's heels. She had already slipped her heels off waiting for Arizona to come up from the main floor. Arizona looked up at her wife and saw fire in her eyes. Callie reached behind her and unzipped her own dress causing it to fall to the floor. Her black bra and panties the only covering on her glorious body. Arizona raked her eyes up from Callie's long tan legs up to her center to her heaving chest and back to her fiery eyes. Callie crawled onto the bed and hooked her fingers on Arizona's dress and yanked it off. She was forceful in her movements, but not enough to rip the fabric. Arizona lifted her hips slightly so the dress could be pulled completely off of her. 'Callie…'

'Shhh, no talking. Rule number one. Rule number two… we come together. Got it?' Callie said licking a path from Arizona's chest up to her neck.

'I thought you were mad at me.'

'Oh I am. Now shut up.' Callie kissed Arizona driving her tongue deep into her mouth. Arizona's hands holding onto Callie's hips. Her nails digging into Callie's sides. She moaned softly into Callie's mouth. Callie grabbed Arizona's wrist and shoved her hand down her panties. She wasted no time in burying her own hand down Arizona's panties and driving her fingers into her warm depths. 'Make me come, Arizona.' Arizona pushed her fingers in and Callie started rocking back and forth riding her fingers. Arizona felt her orgasm building. She wanted to obey Callie's rules and kept quiet, but sped up her thrusts and flicked her thumb against her clit so that they would come together like her wife wanted. Callie's moans filled the bedroom. Arizona could tell she was close also. Their orgasms hit seconds apart. Callie pulled her fingers out of Arizona's panties and went into the bathroom to get herself ready for bed.

When she came back out, she was in her pajamas and makeup free. She crawled into the bed and laid facing away from Arizona's side of the bed. She was still pretty upset. She was hurt that her surprise was ruined and that Arizona still did not trust her even after all the time they had been together.

After Arizona had removed her makeup and was ready for bed, she tried to wrap her arm around Callie. She knew that they needed to talk. Even though they had had sex, it was angry sex and they needed to talk about what happened. She felt terrible and wanted to tell Callie how sorry she was and beg for forgiveness. Callie pushed her hand away. 'Not tonight Arizona. Goodnight.' Arizona laid on her back and stared at the ceiling. She fucked up.

They can work through this. Right? Thanks for reading everyone. Let me know how you like the chapter.

Also, I think it's kind of funny how the story is lining up with the actual dates, kind of. It wasn't intentional, but hey, it works.
