Chapter 41
'Amber.' Amber turned around and saw Meredith walking towards her.
'Hey, Mer.' Amber said.
'Can I talk to you? Privately?'
'Sure, is everything ok?' Meredith nodded and waved her hand for Amber to follow her. They walked into a nearby on call room.
Meredith shut the door and took a deep breath. 'I have to ask you something and I want you to keep this between me and you for now. Can I trust you?'
'Meredith… are you ok? What is going on?' Amber asked. She was getting concerned.
'Can I trust you?'
'Yeah…yes.'
Meredith pulled a picture out of her scrub pocket and handed it to the other woman. 'Is this Thatcher?'
Amber took the picture and looked at it for awhile. It was an older photo that was fading in some spots. The man in the picture was leaning against a car with a big smile on his face with his arm around what looked like a younger Ellis Grey. She looked up into Meredith's eyes and back down at the picture. 'I can't be sure, it might be. Thatcher was in an accident so it really is hard to say. Why?'
Meredith took the picture back and took a deep breath. 'At the New Year's party, you mentioned his name and my mom said that my father was the man in the picture and that his name was Thatcher and that he died in an accident. She moved across the country before I was born and we moved back here years later. I thought that maybe it was the same Thatcher Grey.'
'I can ask Lexie, if you want me to. Like I said, I can't be sure. His accident was before she was born from what she has told me. He was drinking heavily and crashed his car.'
'You know what? Yes, please, ask her. I can't go to Ellis anymore and ask her and I want some answers. Here, take the picture and show her. Ask her.' Meredith said handing the picture back to Amber.
'I will. I hope you get some answers from all this. I can't imagine what is going through your head right now. I'll ask her tonight when I see her.'
'Thank you. Thank you Amber.' Meredith said hugging the other woman.
'It's no problem Meredith.' Amber said patting Meredith's back. She slipped the picture into her pocket.
Amber pulled into her driveway hours later. It was a hectic day and she wanted to spend time with her girlfriend and children. There was so much death in the ER today. She wanted to see the happy faces of the people that were most important to her. She walked up to her front door and inserted the key. She opened the door and heard her kids laughing and playing with Lexie. Lexie had the day off and wanted to keep the kids at home with her. Amber set her bag down and walked into the living room. Riley spotted her and crawled over to his mother. He patted her leg and she scooped him up in her arms and planted kisses all over his little face. 'Hey big man. Were you a good boy for Lex?' Riley laughed and patted his mom's face.
Maci came running up to her next. 'Mama! I missed you today.'
'I missed you too baby girl. Were you a big girl and help Lexie with your brother?' Amber asked kissing the top of her daughter's head.
'Yes Mama. He had a big diaper explosion! It was gross.'
'Sounds gross. Thank you for being a big helper today.' Amber looked up and saw Lexie standing in the living room with her arms crossed and a smug look on her face. She placed Riley down on the floor with his toys and walked over to her girlfriend.
'And you didn't think I could handle these kids.' Lexie said.
'I never should have doubted you.' Amber said. She wrapped her arms around Lexie and kissed her deeply. 'I love you, you know that?'
'Yeah, that's cool. I guess.' Lexie said. Amber smacked her arm lightly. Lexie smiled. 'I love you too, hot stuff.'
'You better… I have something that I need to talk to you about later. It's nothing bad. At least, I don't think it's bad. Just something that came up today. How's our guest doing though?' Amber asked.
'Hasn't come out of the room. She's really upset.' Lexie told her girlfriend.
'I guess I'll go talk to her. I hate that they are still not talking.' Amber placed another kiss on Lexie's lips before she walked down the hallway to the guest room. She knocked lightly and opened the door. 'Cal? Can I come in?'
Callie turned and looked toward the door. 'Yeah. Come in.'
Amber came into the room and shut the door behind her. She sat down on the bed next to her friend. 'How are you today?'
'Same. I can't bring myself to go home. I'm still hurt. I can't face her yet.'
'Callie…its been two days. You can't avoid your wife forever. Arizona loves you. You love her. You can work this out. I don't mind having you over here, but you belong at home with your wife. Setting up the nurseries, laughing and making love, having multiple orgasms.' Amber said trying to give her friend that little push she needed.
'She doesn't trust me. We have been together for two years and she still doesn't trust me. How can I go home knowing that?'
'Have you considered talking to a therapist or something? Dr. James has helped me a lot. Plus, I'm sure she has forgiven you for knocking over her trash cans.' Amber smirked at her friend.
'Shut up. That was a long time ago and you were acting weird.' Callie said. She couldn't help herself, and chuckled softly.
'I know, I know. I'm just teasing with you. Seriously though, I think you need to go home. Your wife misses you. She's moping around at work. There's no perk in her right now. And your wife is Queen of the Perky People.'
'You are definitely right about that. I know you are right. I need to go home and talk to her. Enough is enough. I'll go home today. After dinner. What are you making for us today?' Callie asked.
'You mean, you are only here for my awesome cooking?'
'Well…yeah.' Callie chuckled.
'Oh my God, Callie.' Amber laughed getting up off of the bed. 'GO HOME!' she said as she left the room.
Callie took a deep breath and opened the door to her home for the first time in days. She was ready to talk. Arizona looked up from where she was sitting on the couch. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying. She wiped the tears off of her face with the back of her hand and stood up. 'Calliope.' she said. Her voice was hoarse from all of the crying she had been doing.
Despite being upset with her wife, it pained Callie to see her in such a state. She walked over to Arizona and engulfed her in a big hug. Arizona clung to Callie like she would disappear again if she let go. The past couple of days had been absolutely miserable for Arizona. Callie had refused to speak with her at home or at work. She received a text message from her wife before she got home New Year's Day saying that she would be staying at Amber's house and that she wasn't sure how long she would be staying there. Arizona cried the entire night. She wanted her wife. She wanted her curled up in her arms. She wanted to splay her fingers on Callie's stomach and feel her children moving around. She wanted her family under one roof.
Callie pulled back from the embrace and looked into Arizona's sad eyes. 'We need to talk. Do you want to freshen up before we have this conversation?'
Arizona looked at her, but could not say what she was fearing in her head. She didn't have to say anything though. Callie somehow knew. 'I'll be here when you come back out.'
Arizona nodded slowly and went into the bathroom to wash her face and to calm herself down a bit. Callie was home. She hoped she was home for good. She did not want to feel as bad as she had been feeling ever again. When she calmed down and felt that she was able to speak without breaking down into tears, she walked back out to the living room. Callie was sitting on the couch with two glasses of water sitting in front of her. Callie looked up and smiled slightly. She motioned for Arizona to sit next to her on the couch. Arizona sat down and took a few sips of the water. Her throat was still sore.
Callie turned slightly so that she could look at Arizona at a more direct angle, tucking her foot underneath herself on the couch. 'I just want to start out by saying that I love you. I love you more than life itself, Arizona. I smile when I think about you. I smile when I hear you speak. I smile when I see you working around the hospital. You are my life. You are what drives me to be the best version of myself that I can possibly be. But with that being said, I don't feel like you trust me fully. Even after all this time together, I feel like you still have that guard up and we are not going to work if you always have your guard up. I have not looked at another person, male or female, since meeting you. I would never ever disrespect you and cheat on you. I would never put myself in a compromising position. I am committed to you. I am married to you.'
Arizona absorbed every word that Callie had just said. She took a second and gathered her thoughts before speaking. 'I love you too Calliope. I can't even describe how much I love you. I am so sorry for ruining your surprise and jumping to conclusions. I just saw the way you were looking at Amber and Lexie dancing. It looked like you wanted them. You had this desire in your eyes. And it happened twice. Then, when I heard you in the restroom with Amber, it really sounded like something else was happening.'
'But do you not think that I have any self control? Arizona, I am horny. Like, all the damn time. I want sex. A lot. But do you know who I want to have sex with? The only person I want? Who I was picturing as I was watching them dance together? It's you. It will always be you. And yeah…I admit, I was looking. It was definitely turning me on. It didn't matter if it was Amber and Lexie or Meredith and Derek, or Bailey and Ben. It was hot! It was dirty hot and I couldn't wait to get you home. I wanted to be dirty hot with you. I'm not even worried about the ring anymore. I was more hurt by the fact that you did not trust me. Again. I understand how it may have looked and I am sorry also for making you feel insecure about us. I was sitting there and picturing the two of us. Your hands on me and my hands on you. I'm sorry for how it made you feel.' Callie said.
Arizona grabbed for Callie's hand. She was relieved when Callie didn't pull away. 'Calliope, I am promising you that I will never again jump to the conclusion that you would cheat on me. I love you so much and I cannot lose you. And thank you for apologizing and seeing what it looked like to me.'
'Can you promise me 100% that this will be the last time? Do you think that we need to see a therapist or something?'
'100% I promise you. I may set up an appointment with someone. I told you that my first girlfriend cheated on me with her ex. I think it still haunts me. We were together for years and she still cheated. Really, I know that you will not cheat on me, but I guess I still feel insecure.'
'We can work on that. Together. Now will you please kiss me? I missed you so…' She was cut off by Arizona's lips on hers. She cupped her pale cheek and relished in the feel of her wife's soft lips on hers. The days spent apart were hell for both women and they were glad that they were able to talk through their problem.
Callie pushed Arizona back against the couch and shifted her body to straddle the blonde's legs. Arizona's hands came up and rested on Callie's ass. They both moaned as the kiss deepened. It had only been a couple of days since they had been together, but it felt like a lifetime. Arizona moved her hands under the back of Callie's shirt and started lifting the material slowly. She felt the goosebumps forming on the Latina's skin as she skimmed her fingers up her back. They broke the kiss so that Callie's shirt could be removed completely. Arizona threw the shirt on the floor and kissed Callie's stomach. She kissed a path up her chest and worked the clasp on Callie's bra. She expertly flicked the clasp apart and the material fell down Callie's arms. Callie grabbed the bra and threw it on the floor with her shirt. Arizona grabbed a now exposed breast in her hand and squeezed gently. God, she missed the feeling of this woman. Her breast fit perfectly in her hand. Her kisses sent chills down her spine. Her touch brought such a warmth to the blonde. It was sometimes overwhelming.
Arizona broke the kiss. She sucked a nipple into her mouth while rolling the other between her fingers. Callie's head rolled back on her shoulders. Arizona's touch felt amazing. Her mouth was warm and wet. Arizona released her nipple with a pop and blew lightly on the wet peak making it harden more. She reattached her lips to Callie's and drove her tongue into her mouth. Callie reached down and pulled Arizona's shirt up and over her head. She pulled her as close as their bodies would allow without squishing their children between them. Their breasts rubbing against the other's in a feeling of pure bliss. 'Do you want to take this upstairs?'
Arizona shook her head. 'No. I want you right here and right now. I missed you. I want to show you how much I missed you.' she said as she began unbuttoning Callie's pants. She pushed Callie's side gently encouraging her to lay on the couch. She shifted her body to allow Callie to lay on her back on the couch cushions. She hooked her fingers into the Latina's pants and pulled them off of her long sexy legs. She kissed a path up one of Callie's legs, up along her stomach. She could feel Callie's heart racing as she kissed along her chest. She smiled to herself. She had her wife under her once again. Home where she was supposed to be. She hovered over the Latina's face and trailed kisses up her neck and jaw. She propped herself up on her elbow and moved her hand down Callie's body making an invisible pattern on her skin with her fingertips. She saw the goosebumps forming once again. Callie moaned as she started rubbing slow circles on her clit. Their tongues duelling in time with Arizona's ministrations. Callie had her arms around Arizona as she was being brought to new heights of pleasure, holding the blonde as close as possible. Arizona pulled back from the kiss. 'I missed you so much Calliope. I love you. You are so beautiful. So sexy.' she said softly looking directly into Callie's darkened eyes.
'Oh Arizona. You feel so good. I missed you too. Make me come. I want to come on your hand. Oh God!' she exclaimed as Arizona sped up her circles on her clit. Callie's hips started moving and squirming off of the couch. Her orgasm was approaching. Each circle bringing her ever closer to her release. Arizona placed feather light kisses against any skin that she could reach in their position. Arizona sucked a nipple into her mouth again, flicking her tongue and biting down lightly. 'Oh Ari, I'm coming. Shit Arizona!' Callie's hips bucked wildly as Arizona kept circling her clit. Arizona slowed her circles and allowed Callie to come down. She kissed back up her chest to her jaw and sucked on the skin behind her ear. Callie's chest was heaving. She held the blonde tightly as a tear started falling down her face.
Arizona looked up and saw the tear falling silently down her wife's face. 'Calliope, what's wrong? Did I hurt you?'
'No. You didn't hurt me. I just missed you so much and my hormones are a mess. I'm ok. We are ok so I'm ok.' Callie said trying to calm herself down.
'Oh Callie. I love you. I'm so sorry for hurting you. I missed you too honey. So much. We can go lay down in bed now, if you want.' Arizona said softly.
'I'd like that. We have a few days of orgasms to make up for.' Callie said making Arizona gulp.
The women got up from the couch and Callie connected their lips once again. They didn't break the kiss until they got into the bedroom and Callie pushed Arizona's pants and panties down. Arizona kicked her feet out of the clothing and yelped as Callie pushed her down onto the bed. She licked her lips in anticipation of what her wife was planning. 'Have you ever been fucked by a pregnant woman, Arizona?'
Arizona felt a gush of juices shoot out of her at the implications behind Callie's seductive words. She shook her head, not trusting that words would come out of her mouth if she tried to speak.
'I'm going to fuck you, Arizona. I am going to make you scream and beg me to stop. You'll be coming over and over again tonight.' she said as she was attaching the harness to herself. She crawled into the bed and slid the head through Arizona's juices. 'Are you ready for me Arizona? Ready to be filled and stretched by me? Ready to be fucked?'
Callie inched herself forward and slid into Arizona easily. She was soaked already. She loved Callie's dirty bedroom talk. She gasped at the sudden feeling of being filled and grasped onto Callie's hips. Callie gave her a minute to adjust and starting rocking her hips. 'Oh Callie. Mmmm. God, that feels so good.'
'You like that? Tell me how it feels.'
'You're so big. You're stretching me so much. God, faster Calliope. Faster!'
Callie started slamming into her wife's depths. The room was filled with the slap-slap-slap of their skin meeting with each thrust. Callie reached down and pulled Arizona's leg around her to open her up a little more. She thrust as fast as she could. Arizona's cries and moans could be heard all the way down the street, she was sure. She wanted to pleasure Arizona. She wanted her to have a powerful orgasm. One that would make up for the days they spent apart. One that would have her walking funny for a week. 'Come for me Arizona. Come!' Arizona cried out as her orgasm hit like a truck. It felt so good. Callie slowed her thrusts and Arizona came down. Her arm was draped over her head, stretching her hand, and she tried to get her breathing under control.
Callie took the harness off and laid next to her wife on the bed. 'You ok?' she asked when Arizona didn't open her eyes for a few minutes.
Arizona swallowed and nodded her head. 'Yeah. It was so good that it gave me a hand spasm. I'm trying to work it out.'
'Oh wow. That hasn't happened in awhile. Must have been a good one.'
Arizona cracked an eye open and looked into her wife's eyes. 'You have no idea Calliope.'
Callie wrapped her wife up in her arms, careful of their babies between them. 'Make up sex is some of the best sex.'
'You know what's better than make up sex?'
'Hmm?'
'Sex after make up sex.' Arizona said flipping them and kissing Callie again. They had a couple of days to make up for after all.
I hope you all liked the chapter. I hope I am doing justice for not only Calzona's relationship, but the sub stories as well. Thank you all for the reviews. I take all feedback into consideration when writing new chapters. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year. Stay safe!
Unfortunately, 2020 has sent one more big middle finger my way. I apologize if it affects the release of new chapters. Usually writing distracts me from day to day life, but I might need some time for this one. Take care everyone.
