AN – My exams are finally over and I got some time to write. This is just a bridge chapter filled with a lot of fluffiness and a little more of the band. I just want to say thank you to everyone who is reading this story, leaving reviews and keep coming back chapter after chapter even if I make you wait forever, you guys are the best!
Chapter 17
Stepping off the plane the first thing going through Arizona's mind is cold. Arizona is not a fan of cold weather. Give her a sunny day at the beach, Callie in a bikini drinking a sangria, but cold no thank you! She wraps her arms around herself trying to conserve as much body heat as possible.
Callie on the other hand loves the winter, growing up in Miami, and then LA made her appreciate those rare cold days. Looking over to her side she sees the shivering blonde bundled up in her light blue jacket. Her whole body is shaking making her teeth chatter.
"Sweetie, you are shaking, what's wrong are you cold?" Callie asks stepping closer to her girlfriend.
"N-n-no, not at all! Didn't you know I'm one-sixth Chihuahua?" Arizona huffs rolling her eyes causing the singer to chuckle. Callie wraps her arms around the blonde rubbing her hands up and down her arms trying to give her a little extra warmth.
"Then let's get you inside Fluffy, just don't pee on the carpet." Arizona playfully slaps a laughing Callie on her stomach as they walk to the waiting car.
The tour has been back in action for two weeks now. It almost feels like they never left, everyone falling easily back into their old routine. It was exasperating for Callie to take it slow in the beginning but luckily now she is back in full force. Word of the deadly muffins by some miracle didn't reach the press for which Callie is unbelievably thankful. She is pretty sure Bailey threatened to gut anyone who said anything. Eli is still hard at work trying to find the mysterious blonde under direct orders from Carlos Torres, but Callie is just happy to be back and that the situation didn't end badly.
-x-x-
After they arrive at the hotel everyone unpacks before eating breakfast and heading out to rehearsals. Callie had to resort to drastic measures to get Arizona out of her warm cocoon she was using to hide away from the cold. After she pulled on one of Callie's hoodies she finally was ready to brave the cold.
"How is that you hate the cold, you lived in Seattle?"
"I was living under protest. My parents and Emma lived there and I wanted to be close to them. Then I met Teddy and the twins came along." April stops next to Arizona holding out a cup of hot chocolate in front of her. "April you're my hero!" Arizona exclaims grabbing the cup.
"Hey, you are wearing my clothes!" Callie challenges while she is busy trying to tune her guitar.
"But you keep making fun of me being cold, I swear I almost chipped a tooth brushing my teeth this morning."
"It's winter!"
"Well, the fact that we were sitting in the warm summer sun only two days ago isn't helping matters. Can't we go back to the nice warm southern hemisphere?" Arizona pulls out her best puppy dog eyes.
"Sorry, but we are going to be stuck in the north for a while." Arizona just huffs before taking a sip from her hot chocolate.
"Nice hoodie Robbins, you look like you ready to rob a bank." Alex mocks the blonde when he takes a seat next to her. "Or deliver poison muffins."
"Bite me, Alex!"
"Well, it was a blonde who was spotted leaving the trailer," George says. Arizona looks up from the cup in her hands she sees everyone looking at her.
"Seriously, do you guys really think I would try to kill my own girlfriend and with rat poison? I'm a doctor I have access to a lot more lethal drugs than that!"
"Exactly what kind of drugs are we talking about?" Cristina asks suspiciously.
"You know sixteen percent of all Americans are natural blondes, and then you get people who dye their hair…" Lexie tries to help Arizona out of her friend's cross-examination.
"Who turned on the commentary track?" Alex asks and Lexie just crosses her arms annoyed.
"Actually it would make sense, she was the one who first found the card," Meredith adds. "She was in Callie's trailer."
"Face it every time the stalker appeared Rollergirl was there." Cristina finishes.
"Stop it! Arizona is not the stalker!" Callie finally having enough of them teaming up against her girlfriend.
"How can you be sure?" Callie looks at Arizona who is avoiding eye contact.
"Believe me Arizona couldn't have planted the muffins in my trailer that morning."
"Because she was busy screaming your name."
Callie's phone starts to ring. "There is a God." She mumbles making everyone laugh. She steps off to the side before answering the phone. "Yes, thank you for letting me know. Okay you too sir, goodbye." Everyone is looking at her trying to read the blank expression on her face. "That was Richard Webber."
"What did he want?"
"He just called to congratulate us on the album just going double platinum!"
"What?!" Everyone jumps up giving each other hugs and high fives. When everyone finally settles back down, Arizona just watches Callie who has the brightest smile on her face sometimes it still feels surreal that someone like Callie would want to be with someone like her.
-x-x-
After Callie's great news everyone was extra pumped for rehearsals. When they were done everyone headed back to the hotel but Cristina compiled a list of things they needed for their celebration party tomorrow night, it's not every day that an album goes double platinum. Arizona tells Callie she will see her back at the hotel room later before quickly running after the drummer.
"Hey Cristina can I maybe talk to you about something, it's about me and Callie?" Arizona asks in almost a whisper not wanting anyone to overhear her.
"Sorry, Rollergirl you know I don't play doubles."
"Ew, it's nothing like that! Cristina please, it's important." Arizona never understood the weird bond between Callie and her drummer, but this time she can use it to her advantage.
"Okay fine, I have to go and do some shopping you can come with me then we can talk."
When Cristina said shopping Arizona should have known she meant shopping for alcohol. Walking around Cristina looks at the different bottles of liquor she has to choose from.
"Okay, so what's the problem?"
"Well this week is our six month anniversary and I don't know, I mean she is a famous singer she has a private jet for goodness sake it's just… what do I get the woman who has everything?"
"Antibiotics."
"Cristina!" Arizona whines she really needs her help.
"I'm sorry it's a reflex."
A man walks up to them wearing the store uniform. His long brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail and his unshaved face is smiling at them.
"Good afternoon ladies, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes, I will take that." Cristina points to the tequila behind him.
"This bottle?" He asks taking down one of the bottles.
"That shelve."
"Okay?" He looks at them confused, when Arizona shrugs he start to take down the bottles. Cristina spins around to look at the blonde.
"Listen Arizona, Callie doesn't care about money and having the biggest and the brightest. Just show her you love her, that's all she needs." Before Arizona can respond Cristina is already back to her shopping.
-x-x-
When Callie walks into the hotel room she hears the voice of her girlfriend singing Tegan and Sara's Drove Me Wild. Callie smiles at how easily the blonde can make her heart melt.
"When I think of you, I think of your skin, golden brown from the sun. Your arms outstretched, your hair cut shorter than it'd been, but still blowing in the wind."
When she walks into the bedroom she finds Arizona laying on the bed, her pink polka dot feet dancing up against the headboard, with a medical journal in her hands above her head and her headphones on full blast.
"When I picture you, I think of your smile, and it drives me wild. Your laugh escaping you, your head thrown to the side, and it drives me wild."
She sneaks up on Arizona kissing her on her forehead. The unexpected contact makes her drop her book, landing with a thud on her chest. She pulls her headphones off in one fast motion.
"Callie you scared the crap out of me!"
"Still haven't learned to read upside down I see," Callie says laughing.
"You're the one who keeps scaring me, luckily it wasn't my face this time." She says sitting upright and turning to look at the singer. Callie sees her dropping the medical journal on the floor.
"Read anything interesting?"
"Oh nothing important, just a little light reading." She smiles at the singer and starts biting her thumbnail. Callie decides to ignore it, she knows this is something Arizona has to figure out for herself she doesn't need her to pressure her into anything. Just baby steps.
-x-x-
Arizona has finally been able to get her parents to try and video chat with her. She hasn't seen her parents in almost a year and she would deny it if anyone asked, but she misses them. When the video finally connects after explaining it for the fifth time Arizona sighs in relief but that soon disappears when a huge nose appears onscreen.
"Arizona dear are you there?"
"I'm here mom, but you might want to back away from the camera a little not that I mind the extreme close up of your nose hair." Giggling as her mother's full face came into view.
"Arizona Gabriella Robbins that's no way to talk to your mother."
"Sorry mom, how have you been?"
"Good, just keeping busy. However, your father is driving me crazy. I swear that man can't sit still for a minute before running of who knows where trying to fix or replace something. I had to call the plumbers three times this month because of your father's 'handyman' skills." Arizona smiles as her mother continues to tell her about her father's failed attempts at doing work around the house. "So, how are things going with you dear?"
"It's amazing getting to be in a different country every week."
"And how are things with Callie?"
"Couldn't be better! It's actually our anniversary this week so I was hoping I could take her away, nowhere fancy, just to get away from everyone and get to spend some time alone."
"I think that is great idea honey. I'm sure Callie will appreciate it. And when are your parents going to meet this girlfriend of yours?"
"Mom we already discussed this. We are going to come to visit you guys over Christmas when we are back in the States." Her mother has been bugging her about coming to visit for months now, and after meeting Callie's dad they finally agreed to spend Christmas with the Robbins family.
"I know I just can't wait to meet her, I see her on TV and magazines all the time. I can't believe my little Arizona is dating a superstar!" Barbara squeals.
"Trust me she is just like anyone else, she doesn't let all this fame get to her."
"I would hope not." Comes the booming voice of Colonel Daniel Robbins. Arizona automatically sits a little straighter in her chair when her father's face appears next to her mother's. "I can't have my daughter dating some spoiled little starlet."
"Trust me she is the kindest, most generous, just all-around amazing person you will ever meet." He nods.
"How are you Arizona?" He asks looking at his daughter, for the first time since she left Seattle.
"I'm good sir." Giving him a small smile.
"You've been working hard?"
"Yes sir." He just nods, when Arizona quit surgery her father was not pleased, he knew why she had to leave even if he couldn't understand it himself. "Have you guys heard from Tim lately?" Arizona tries to steer away from the inevitable fight they will have about her career choices.
"We spoke with him a few days ago, it doesn't sound like he will be able to come home for the holidays." Arizona drops her head in disappointment, she knew it was a long shot but she was really hoping to see Tim. It's going to be a difficult Christmas this year and she needs her big brother, but at least she knows Callie will be there with her. She talks to her parents for a little while longer before they have to go.
-x-x-
The next morning Arizona wakes up and is immediately disappointed to find herself alone in the bed. Closing her eyes and reopening them hoping this time her singer would be next to her. Accepting that Callie is in fact not there she sits up. That's when something catches her eye she finds a little butterfly cut out of sheet music on Callie's pillow. Reading the lyrics under the notes Arizona recognizes them as the first song she heard Callie sing to her. Turning it around she finds a note from Callie.
Happy anniversary! Love you with my whole heart - Callie
Arizona smiles holding onto the butterfly, Cristina is right Callie doesn't care about money.
The band is in full practice mode when Arizona finally arrives, walking in Callie's beautiful voice meeting her ears. Callie's eyes are closed as she pours every emotion into her song. When the final note is played Callie opens her eyes and she stops and smiles at her.
"Seriously, Arizona we are going to ban you from rehearsals." Meredith's voice breaking them from their little trans.
"What why?"
"Because every time you walk in Callie forgets everything and just stands there with her Arizona face."
"Arizona faces?" Callie asks confused turning to Meredith.
"Yes, every time you see her you get this huge smile and your eyes get all twinkly - Arizona face."
Callie just rolls her eyes before she hops off the stage walking over to the blonde.
"Thank you for my butterfly, but I much rather have woken up next to you," Arizona says wrapping her arms around Callie's neck.
"I thought you deserved to sleep in a little, besides like you said it's a hundred times worse getting up in the morning when it's cold." She leans down kissing her. When everyone around them starts to groan and complain they reluctantly pulled apart.
-x-x-
Arizona is sitting at the back typing away on her iPad she is busy putting the final touches to her surprise for Callie. She is picking at her salad too busy to really care about eating.
"Hey don't concentrate that hard." Arizona quickly turns off the screen before looking up and smiling nervously at Callie. She pops a fork full of salad in her mouth looking away from the singer's intense gaze.
"What are you doing?" Callie asks in a sing-song voice, she knows the blonde is up to something.
"Eating lunch." She says around a mouth full of food.
"Is it someone else's because you look guilty?"
"Nope."
"Okay." Callie takes a seat next to Arizona, taking the fork from the blonde she takes a bite herself.
"Um, I have a surprise for you," Arizona says playing nervously with the salad again.
"Oh really?"
"Yes, after tonight's rehearsal the band is going back to the hotel but we are not." Callie just looks at her confused. "I made reservations for us at a little lodge just outside of the city for the night."
"I like the sound of that," Callie says giving her a sexy smirk.
"I don't think it's a good idea for you guys to go," Jackson says walking closer to them with Alex closely behind them.
"Were you just eavesdropping on our private conversation?" Arizona asks annoyed. Ignoring the blonde Alex continues.
"Bailey would have a cow, no she would have the whole damn barn if she finds out you are somewhere alone in the woods."
"Fine, then one of you two also has to come." Both the bodyguards and Arizona look at Callie pleading.
"Then we will miss the party."
"Would you rather miss the party or face the Nazi," Callie asks with a raised eyebrow.
Without a word, Alex and Jackson turn to each other holding their hands out in front of them. They start playing Rock-Paper-Scissors. Alex's paper covers Jackson's rock making him the lucky winner of missing the party.
"Jackson has fun in the cabin in the woods," Alex says patting him on the shoulder.
-x-x-
Later that night they arrive at the lodge and Jackson quickly excuses himself going to his room to sulk. The receptionist leads Callie and Arizona to their room. When she opens the door Callie can't help but gasp at the beautiful room. Flickering candles and the crackling fireplace casting a golden glow over the room. Callie moves around in awe as she takes in the beautiful living room, and bedroom. When she looks back at the blonde she sees her nervously standing at the door.
"Do you like it?" She asks chewing at her bottom lip.
"Arizona this is amazing, I love it." She is rewarded with a dimpled smile. Arizona moves closer. "At least you don't have to worry about being stuck in a small room with me."
"I'll get stuck in a small room with you any day." She stops in front of Callie who instantly wraps her arms around the smaller woman. Arizona points over to the bedroom. "I also have lingerie, flavored body paint..."
"You really thought of everything."
"Only the best for you." She wraps her arms around her neck. Moving closer until their lips are only a breath away from each other. She looks up into those deep brown eyes. "Happy anniversary Calliope."
"So, so happy," Callie whispers back smiling.
They move the blankets and pillows to create a bed in front of the fireplace. They are snuggled close together just content at listing to the crackling of the fire. But when an angry stomach grumble erupts it causes them both to laugh.
"I may have missed lunch, so what is for dinner s'mores?"
"Close but no." Arizona jumps up running out of the room only to return with a plate covered with a silver cloche. Sitting it down between them on the floor she lifts the cloche. "Tada!"
"Pizza?"
"Yes, just like our first date." Callie grabs a slice of her mouth-watering from the delicious aroma.
"Wait before you eat that!" Callie freezes halfway to her mouth, slowly she lowers back down.
"What's wrong?" Arizona leans forward kissing Callie softly.
"It tastes better if your lips are warmed up." Arizona pulls back grinning and takes a bite of her own pizza slice.
"Very smooth Dr. Robbins."
They enjoy a laid back dinner just making small talk and laughing. When the pizza is finished they snuggle up close to each other. Watching the flames flickering in front of them, Arizona has to admit she just might change her mind about hating cold weather if she gets to snuggle with Callie like this. Apparently, the lips cool down after eating is just as important and as the kisses gets more heated Callie pushes the blonde down on her back hovering over her. Callie is looking down at her girlfriend, sometimes it scares her how much she loves her. She loves her kisses, her skin how it feels holding her so close. She knows this is just the first of many happy anniversaries to come.
"Are you just going to smile at me or are going to kiss me?" Callie quickly closes the gap between them.
-x-x-
Arizona is on her stomach on the blankets in front of the fire, her arms are tucked under her head her eyes are closed and she has a very satisfied smile on her face. The sheet has somehow moved down to around her waist exposing her bareback. Soft kisses on her spine send shivers down her body as Callie hums against her skin it makes goosebumps break out across her body. Soon Callie starts to sing to the melody her beautiful voice filling the room.
"Am I a fool, if I tell you that I really like you. That I'll even slay a monster or two, just to be with you. I'll catch you butterflies, write your name in the summer sky. Bring you flowers every day, just hoping you'll stay."
Arizona slowly opens her eyes, sleep all but forgotten. All of her attention now on what her love is singing to her.
"I know I love you, I swear it's true. Because no one makes me feel alive like you do. I'll fight for you, to spend every day with you. Because you're my dreams that are coming true."
Arizona rolls over on her side so she can see her girlfriend finding the most loving pair of brown eyes looking at her.
"I'll run to the edge of the world to prove my love to you. Climb tower after tower, minutes turn to hours when I'm without you. We'll dance in the midnight rain till the sun starts to shine. I'll hold you in my arms till the end of time."
Callie tucks a piece of blonde hair behind her ear, cupping her cheek she looks deep into her blue eyes that's brimming with tears ready to fall at any moment.
"I know I love you, I swear it's true. Because no one makes me feel alive like you do. I'll fight for you, to spend every day with you. Because you're my dreams that are coming true."
She whispers the last line against the blonde's lips before kissing her. When Callie pulls back she rests her forehead against the blonde.
"You wrote me a song?" She asks wiping the tears away that's running down her cheeks.
"Actually, I wrote to you like ten songs." Arizona gives her a mind-blowing super magic smile.
"I never thought you to be the corny romantic type?"
"I guess I never had a good reason to be." Callie drops her face onto the pillow. "You are making me lose my badass rock star edge."
"Aw, I love romantic Callie." Arizona kisses her cheek, making her turn her face to look at blue eyes. "Sing it again!" She asks excitedly.
After another couple of hours, they both happily drift off to sleep. Callie is having some not so innocent dreams about her beautiful girlfriend in her arms when she feels Arizona starting to get restless, instinctively she pulls the blonde closer.
"No…" Immediately alarmed she did something wrong she slowly opens her eyes finding the blonde still fast asleep but her face scrunched together. "No, please… I'm sorry." Callie feels her heart start to break, ever since her little trip to the ER Arizona's nightmares have returned.
She pulls the sleeping woman closer to her kissing her forehead. "Shh baby it's okay." Running her hand up and down the blonde's back. "It's okay, shh I'm right here."
"Callie?" She opens her watering eyes looking at her girlfriend
"Yes, it's me. I got you." She keeps stroking her hair and back whispering comforting words to her as Arizona clings to her.
Callie hates to see Arizona cry and knowing that she somehow indirectly has triggered her nightmares makes her mad. Mad at whoever it is that is not only screwing with her life but also affecting the people she loves.
-x-x-
Early the next morning Callie and Arizona are enjoying their delicious breakfast along with the last couple of minutes of being alone with each other. Callie is savoring her hot cup of coffee while the blonde is working on her sugar fix for the day. Arizona looks up when their room door suddenly opens and she sees a flustered Jackson making his way quickly to them.
"Guys, why didn't you answer your phones?"
"Because we turned it off, we didn't want you nitwits bugging us," Callie says pointing to her bodyguard.
"Well, you might want to turn them on."
"What's going on Jackson?" They both quickly take out their phones.
"Apparently there were a lot of complaints about loud noises coming from Meredith and Cristina's hotel room last night."
They turn on their phones and they immediately become flooded with messages and missed calls from the hotel as well as some from Bailey.
"One night that's all I asked for, one night!" Callie whines. "Looks like we have to go sort this out."
When they arrive at the hotel they are immediately met with the hotel manager, after talking with him he gives Callie a key to the room.
"Wow." "What the hell!" They say at the same time.
The band members are scattered around the hotel room each in their own disheveled state. In the middle of the room is a mountain of tequila bottles and who knows what else. Some of them are in only their underwear, bed sheets are turned into capes, others are covered in drunken marker drawings and Lexie's left hand is dyed blue. Callie looks around the room speechless, it a complete wreck!
-x-x-
Two hours later Callie walks onto the stage and everyone looks like zombies. She slams down on one of Cristina's cymbals making everyone jump covering their ears. Callie just looks at them her Torres stare burning holes into their hangover heads.
"Okay, I'm listing." Callie finally says crossing her arms waiting for anyone to explain.
"We were celebrating." Comes April's small voice from the corner.
"Oh, you were celebrating that makes everything better because you were celebrating." Her voice filled with sarcasm.
"Things may have gotten a little out of hand," Owen adds avoiding eye contact.
"A little out of hand? You guys drank so much tequila last night I'm surprised you didn't wake up with a Mexican accent!"
"Callie…"
"No, save it!" Effectively quieting Meredith. Callie pulls out a bunch of envelopes from her back pocket. "I have a little gift for each one of you. Since you all love living the high life going around trashing hotel rooms. Hopefully, this will give you all a little wake-up call." She hands them each an envelope and they open it.
"It's a plane ticket," Lexie says confused.
"Yes, tomorrow when we leave here me, Arizona, and Jackson who was not a part of your little rampage is going to climb aboard our very comfortable private jet and fly away in luxury. You lot will fly there on a commercial plane… in coach."
"What?!" Everyone yells causing them all to regret it right away.
"Oh yes," Callie says with a smirk.
"Come on Callie we were just having a little fun." Cristina speaking up for the first time.
"No, you were being stupid!" She pulls out a bill of everything they broke and needed to be replaced in the room. "You see this? Your stupidity is costing me money!"
"This is bullshit!" Alex complains.
"And you are one and a half complaint away from being unemployed." Callie looks at each of their defeated faces accepting their inevitable fate that is the coach. "Good, enjoy your flight I'm sure you will have plenty of time to reflect on your actions." She turns around and leaves followed closely by Arizona and Jackson who has a shit-eating grin on his face. Maybe rock did beat paper.
-x-x-
Callie is busy getting ready in her dressing room. Her nervousness was starting to get the better of her, it doesn't help that her band kept messing up in rehearsals because they all looked like a walking billboard for AA. When her phone suddenly starts to ring she almost jumps out of her skin.
"H-Hello," No answer. "Hello?"
"Callie?" It's the last voice Callie was expecting to hear.
"Aria, hi. Um, how are you?"
"I'm… I'm, Callie are you busy I kind of need to talk to you about something?"
"I'm just about to go on stage. Are you okay did something happen? Is it daddy or…"
"Everyone is fine, I just need to talk to you Callie, please. I… um…"
"Aria you know you can tell me anything right? I know our relationship is a little shaky right now but you're my little sister."
"I know it's just… I don't know if I can do this over the phone." Arizona's head pops into the dressing room telling her she needs to be on stage in five minutes.
"Okay how about this, we are leaving tomorrow why don't you just meet up with us at our next stop and we will work this all out okay?"
"Okay." Silence. "Callie, I'm really sorry."
"Let's just both get in the same room and we will talk." They say goodbye and Callie hangs up her phone. Arizona steps closer to the singer.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah, it's Aria something is going on with her. But I can't think about that now." She rubs her hands over her face. "Okay, let's go." She quickly walks out the door before Arizona can say anything else.
Luckily the band was able to pull themself together and put on a great show like always, but that doesn't make Callie any less pissed at them. So now they are sitting in their uncharacteristically quiet private jet. Jackson is sitting all alone working on his phone.
Callie's phone starts to ring she sees it's a call from Cristina. She shows the phone to Arizona. "This should be good," Callie answers putting it on speaker. "Well if it isn't the high rollers."
"Callie…" Cristina starts to speak but is cut off by screaming baby-making Callie and Arizona laugh. "Please Callie you made your point."
"Oh no we are just getting to the good part."
"Callie I think we are dying!" The drummer pleads.
"Well call me when you're sure." She ends the call before Cristina can say anything.
"Maybe you should let them come back?" Arizona tries as she hands Callie her glass of water.
"Are you kidding me? After years of them making my life hell, I finally get the chance to get them back and I'm going to enjoy every second of this miserable experience for them." She clinks her glass with her girlfriend as the plane's door is closed. Arizona just smiles, sure they all drive each other crazy sometimes but they really are just all one big dysfunctional family.
-x-x-
About five hours after Callie, Arizona and Jackson landed the rest of the group came strolling in. No one said anything, they just quietly made their way to their rooms. Callie is sure their party days are behind them.
Callie and Arizona are relaxing in their room flipping through the channels. They have no rehearsals scheduled for today, so they are just going to spend time being lazy around their room.
"I send Jackson to go pick up Aria at the airport." Callie breaks the silence. It takes a moment for the singer's word to register.
"What why?"
"Do you want her to walk?" Callie asks giving her a raised eyebrow.
"No, I just didn't know she was coming today."
"Yeah, I have never heard her like this before something big is going on with her."
"Luckily she has an amazing big sister to lean on." Arizona kisses her cheek. "Well, I'll be down in the gift shop if you need anything."
"You're not staying?" Callie turns off the TV.
"I think this is something the two of you need to do alone. I'll be back in an hour or two." She says grabbing her tour jacket and scarf. She places a kiss on her girlfriend's lips. "I love you."
"I love you too." When Arizona turns around a small yelp falls from her lips when Callie smacks her behind. "Don't stay away for too long." The blonde gives her a killer dimple smile before slipping out of the room.
Callie is sitting on the couch staring at the wall. Her mind trying to figure out what one Aria Torres has gotten herself into this time. She and her sister never really had the best relationship even when they were younger. However they have recently been trying to mend bridges, but there was still that awkward tension between them.
Knock-Knock
Getting up she takes a deep breath. "Here we go." She says to herself before opening the door. She is greeted by her sister giving her a weak smile.
"Hi."
"Hi." Callie smiles back, there is something different about her sister but she can't put her finger on it. Callie continues to just look at her trying to figure out what the change is.
"Um can I come in or are we going to talk in the doorway?"
"Oh yes of course." She leads her into the living room area where they sit down on opposite sides of the couch. Both are quiet not really knowing what to say. "So?"
"So, I know I left things a mess the last time I saw you." Callie just nods. "I'm really sorry for the way I acted I was… well I was a little bitch." Callie tried to stop the chuckle but was too late. "I just wanted to start by saying how sorry I am for what happened."
"Aria I'm not the one you should be apologizing to."
"I know and I have every intention of apologizing to Arizona as well. But I was being petty and jealous, I knew you like Arizona you always had this goofy grin on your face."
"Arizona faces," Callie says to herself.
"Sorry what?"
"Oh no, it's nothing sorry go on."
"Any way you liked her and she liked you and I was just so mad at Henrico so I took it out on you two." Callie had a feeling her sister running to her months again had something to do with her boyfriend.
"Aria I'm not happy with what you did but like I told you I am willing to overlook everything in the past if you will and start fresh. And maybe this time we can have a better relationship than the first time around."
"I would like that," Aria says with a small smile.
"Good now that that's out of the way, what's going on with you? Where have you been? Daddy is going crazy you're always just disappearing for days not telling anyone where you're going."
"I know, but that's what I wanted to talk to you about." Aria looks down avoiding eye contact not really knowing how to start, her sister is going to kill her when she tells her.
"Aria what's going on?" She doesn't look up from her hands, rubbing her hands together with the way she does when she knows she is going to be in trouble. "Aria!" Callie suddenly raising her voice makes Aria jump both of her hands shooting to her stomach. Callie's eyes go wide, and her jaw drops. "Now everything starts to make sense." She says when she finally gets her voice back, she gets up from the couch and starts pacing. "Why you are always jetting off not telling anyone where you are going, why you don't let mom and dad more than glance at you for a few seconds."
"Callie…" She stops her pacing and looks at her sister.
"Just say it." Aria takes a deep breath before standing as well, she looks up at her older sister.
"I'm pregnant."
