A/N – I'm so sorry but the long wait is over here is the new chapter! A few people asked me about the design Arizona drew on the back of Callie's guitar, so I put a link on my profile page for you guys. Thank you for all the great reviews you guys, you keep me motivated!

Chapter 19

Both Callie and Arizona have to admit that this Thanksgiving isn't one they are easily going to forget. Not only because Arizona got to share it with her amazing girlfriend but also with said girlfriend's family. Mark and Aria arrived a few days ahead of everyone else to break the news to Aria's parents, to say they were surprised at learning there is a Torres-Sloan baby on the way was the understatement of the year. Carlos reacted pretty much the same way Callie did, making Mark leap over the back of the couch looking for an escape route from his girlfriend's enraged father. After the initial shock wore off Lucia was in full grandma mode looking at ultrasound pictures, buying onesies in every color of the rainbow, and suggesting some crazy baby names.

By the time Callie and Arizona arrived Carlos had started to warm up to the idea of his first grandchild but that doesn't mean he is happy about how it happened. Mark did his best to keep his distance from Mr. Torres after he picked all the drywall out of his hair.

The Torres lived in what can only be called a mansion, with more rooms than the fancy hotels they stayed in. But just like Callie's house back in LA, her room was nothing special, not like Aria's that looked straight out of a magazine. Callie also showed Arizona her special place where she spent most of her teen years hiding away from the real world. It's her own mini recording studio her father had made for her fourteenth birthday. It holds everything a young up and coming singer would need to start her career.

Of course, Arizona was very anxious about spending the holiday with the Torres family. But Lucia welcomed her with open arms so happy that her daughter has finally found someone that makes her happy. Arizona liked spending time with her after giving her an overall view of her daughter's mental and physical wellbeing, Lucia spent hours getting to know the blonde who has taken over her daughter's heart. Carlos wasn't as scary as the first time they met, but that could also be because all of his distaste was focus on the actor. She also got to meet a lot more family members, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and everyone in between. All and all she really enjoyed her time in Miami.

Callie was over the moon at the warm welcome her girlfriend received from her family. Sure there were a few looks of disapproval about her dating a woman, but by the end of their visit, there wasn't a Torres left un-charmed by Arizona. Even a few aunts asked when they plan on starting their own little family but that subject was quickly redirected.

Now with Thanksgiving gone Christmas is fast approaching and Callie is starting to get nervous. She has never met a partner's parents before and when your girlfriend's dad is known as The Colonel it doesn't help to ease those nerves. But Arizona was brave enough to face her entire family, she sure as hell could make it through the holiday with just her parents. Oh and Teddy and Henry, at least she doesn't have to worry about them.

-x-x-

Looking around at their hotel room Arizona must say Carlos Torres is the number one hotel tycoon for a reason. Only the best will do for his hotel, top of the range appliances, designer furniture, and every gadget you could ask for. Outside the window is an incredible view of Paris, Arizona watches as one after another light switches on as the night is starting to fall over the city. The hotel room door opens and closes followed by a loud thump.

"Remind me again why I pay you to be my assistant?" Callie asks after tripping over their bags Arizona left at the door, picking them up she moves them over to the bed. Grunting she places the heavy suitcase onto the bed. "For a small person, you sure have a lot of clothes."

"Says the person with a walk-in closet the size of a shopping mall." Arizona retorts turning to look at her girlfriend.

"Yes, but I don't try to fly it everywhere with me." Arizona just rolls her eyes at the singer. "Come on we need to unpack."

"Fine." She grumbles moving closer to the bed. "We are going to need some music to unpack too!" She says excitedly as she grabs her iPod. When the song starts to fill the room Arizona starts to move her hips but Callie just smiles at the blonde they are never going to finish unpacking.

Callie finally got Arizona to focus on the job at hand but she might have misunderstood when she said they need to get everything out of their suitcases. Their clothes are scattered around the room and Arizona is searching franticly through their suitcases.

"What are you doing?" She asks making Arizona stop her search.

"I think I'm losing my grip on reality and I only had a two-finger hold in the first place." Callie chuckles kissing her cheek before looking at her for further explanation. "I could have sworn I packed Spot before we left."

"Spot? Our room looks like it was hit by a tornado because of your teddy bear?"

"It's not just any teddy Callie," Arizona says pouting, Callie pulls the blonde closer to her.

"I know sweetie," Callie says kissing her forehead. "You are sure you packed him?" She nods. "Okay, then how about I look with you?"

"Thank you." Callie helps Arizona look for Spot but they both ended up empty-handed. Arizona has to accept the fact that she left him back home.

-x-x-

After a long day of flying Callie treats Arizona to a fancy dinner in the hotel restaurant, with happy full tummies they stumble back to their room where Callie calls her parents thanking her father for their amazing room while Arizona browses the TV channels. After listing to her mother talk for twenty minutes about the latest baby stuff she bought for her first grandbaby Callie walks out into the living room area finding the blonde sitting in front of the TV, the coffee table covered in fruit. Next to Arizona on the couch is what appears to be medical journals and case files.

Callie just looks at the scene in front of her not sure what to make of all of it. Arizona is deep in concentration stitching up a grape. Her eyes are focused on her task, her hands steady and her tongue peeks out in the way it does when she is in deep concentration. When she finishes the stitch she smiles triumphantly, looking up she sees Callie looking at her confused.

"You know once I and Teddy had to operate on a baby's heart that was this small."

Arizona explains holding up the grape. Callie loves it when Arizona talks about old surgeries, the way her face lights up when she explains a specifically difficult part. Callie can't help but smile lovingly at her, before moving some of the folders on the couch so she can sit next to her. Once seated she looks at everything again before looking up at the TV screen.

"Shit, I didn't need to see that! That can never be unseen." She says quickly turning her head away from the screen.

"Relax Callie it's just old surgery videos, just because I'm not practicing right now doesn't mean I can afford to get rusty." That catches the singer's attention.

"You want to go back?" Callie asks cautiously this is the first time Arizona has said anything about going back to being a surgeon.

"Yes, someday." Not looking up from the new grape she is stitching up.

"That's great! But don't you need to practice on more than just fruit?"

"Don't worry I have an app for that." She says shrugging.

"You have an app… to do surgery?" Callie gives her a raised eyebrow.

"Yes it's called Touch Surgery, there is an app for everything."

"Okay so you have an app that helps you practice surgeries and I have one that can change your voice into Darth Vader." Arizona's head snaps up at the singer.

"You're kidding me?" Callie pulls out her phone holding it to her mouth.

"I kid you not." Comes the feared voice from Callie's phone, Arizona bursts out laughing.

"Oh, babe our relationship just hit a whole new level of sexy." Callie wiggles her eyebrows at her while giving her a sexy smirk. After putting her phone away she looks back at the screen cautiously.

"Isn't that your scrub cap?" Arizona nods. "Wait you're the one performing the surgery?"

"I am."

"What surgery is it?" Suddenly a lot more interested.

"It's a fundoplication."

"Wow, sounds fancy," Callie says taking the bowl of grapes popping one in her mouth.

"Hey, you're eating my homework!" Arizona grabs back the bowl.

"'Girlfriend ate my homework' it just doesn't have the same flare as 'Dog ate my homework'." Arizona tosses a grape at her girlfriend. Callie just laughs before returning her attention to the TV. "What's happening now?" It warms Arizona's heart to see Callie take interest in what she loves.

They watched Arizona's old surgeries until neither could keep their eyes open anymore. Callie was completely fascinated by it all, she had no idea what was happening on screen but Arizona was good, really good even she could tell. The way she commanded the OR, the way she moved without hesitation and so precise was mesmerizing. Callie knew now more than ever Arizona needs to go back to operating she was born to do it.

-x-x-

The next morning it's back to business as usual. The next few days are going to be extremely busy for the singer, her schedule always seems to get hectic at this time of the year. Benefit concerts, charity events, holiday specials, and New Year celebrations. All of this meant that their rehearsal time has been cut in half.

Arizona walks into rehearsals smiling brightly. "We come bearing gifts," Arizona says happily with Jackson close behind her. They place the drink trays and bags full of pastries on the table. Everyone quickly grabs their own special order drink needing their caffeine dose for what is going to be a long day of rehearsing. "We found the cutest little café around the corner they made all these pictures on your drinks," Arizona says showing Callie her butterfly design. Everyone looks amazed at their artistic drinks, everyone except April.

"What did you get?" Arizona asks the confused backup singer.

"It looks like a face," April says studying the face on her cappuccino.

"It's Jackie Chan," Jackson says looking over her shoulder.

"It's a Cuppa-Chan!" April exclaims making everyone laugh.

"Okay drink up everyone we have work to do," Callie orders her laughing band.

"What's the plan for the rest of the day boss?" George asks taking his place behind his keyboard.

"Well, today just rehearsals but tomorrow… we are accompanying two kids from the Make-A-Wish Foundation to Disneyland Paris."

"What?!"

"We are going to Disneyland!" Arizona squeals.

"Everyone is going." Callie quickly says before the inevitable long list of complaints and excuses can start.

"No, no way I'm spending a day with some snot-nosed little kids not happening!" Alex says crossing his arms.

"This is not a request this is a summons, Cristina don't even bother coming up with an excuse you're the only one of us who can speak French so you're going."

"No problem I'm excellent with kids." She says waving her hand dismissively.

"You, Cristina Yang are good with kids?" Lexie asks not believing the drummer.

"Yes."

"Proof it say one nursery rhyme."

"That's easy." She sits up straight. "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. I don't know what they did up there but now they have a daughter." Everyone looks at her wide-eyed a few of the guys break out laughing.

"Okay, no one leaves Yang alone with a tiny human."

-x-x-

Arizona slams her hand on the bedside table looking for her phone in the dark not finding it she turns around pulling the covers over her head. Huffing Callie throws the covers off her before climbing out of bed and stomping over to the dress where the annoying phone keeps ringing. Looking at it she walks back with it to the bed.

"Someone is calling you," Callie mumbles placing the ringing phone in a sleepy Arizona's hand before crawling back in bed.

"Hello?" She says while yawning.

"Zona?"

"Tim!" Suddenly completely awake she sits up in the bed. "It's so good to hear your voice. It feels like we haven't talked in forever." Callie groans and pulls the pillow over her head. Taking mercy on the singer Arizona moves out of the room sitting down on the couch to talk to her brother. "How are you doing?"

"Can't complain." He says a little too quickly.

"Tim I'm not dad, you don't have to tell me what you think I want to hear." He lets out a sigh.

"It's hard out here. I wouldn't want to do anything else but… it's hard." Arizona moves down on the couch so she is laying flat on her back cradling the phone close to her.

"Please don't try to be a hero." She says sniffing. "I miss you, Tim, it's not going to be Christmas without you."

"You know I would do everything to be with you, it's not fair that mom and dad are going to meet Callie and I can't." This makes Arizona chuckle.

"Promise me you'll be safe?"

"Only if you promise not to let dad chase away that beautiful girl of yours?"

"Deal!" Her brother always knows just what to say to make her smile. "I love you." She says in a whisper.

"Love you too sis."

-x-x-

The next morning Callie finds Arizona asleep on the couch with the phone on her chest and her headphones on. She slowly pulls them off and lifting her phone off of her chest. Bringing the headphones closer to her ear she hears The Band Perry's If I Die Young playing.

Callie has somewhat expected her perky girlfriend to be all wrapped up in the Christmas spirit but she rather seems somewhat trying to avoid anything Christmas-related. Instead of humming Christmas carols, she was singing along to sad country songs. Whenever anyone mentioned going gift shopping Arizona was always busy. Her petite body wasn't dressed in bright festive colors but rather black and grey seemed to be the color of choice. Callie decided not to address the strange behavior, maybe she was just making assumptions and Arizona just didn't get wrapped up in Christmas as she expected. Besides her lack of Christmas enthusiasm, she was still her perky self.

Sitting down next to her, Callie places a soft kiss on her cheek. Arizona lazily opens her eyes with a sleepy smile on her face when she sees her girlfriend.

"Morning."

"Hi, did you have a nice talk with your brother?"

"Yeah." Arizona starts to fidget with her sleeve. Callie watches her love closely, knowing now is not the time to push her to talk she gets up.

"What do you say we get us some delicious breakfast before we have to leave?"

"Yes please." She says her dimples coming out. "We are going to Disneyland!"

-x-x-

They are waiting for their special guests of the day to arrive. Some are grumpy having to spend the day surrounded by little kids, others are practically buzzing with excitement, and of course, some just didn't care either way.

"Ms. Torres?" Callie turns around to come face to face with a smiling woman. "We are so excited to have you join us for the day. I'm Maggie Pierce from the Make-A-Wish Foundation."

"It's nice to meet you, we're glad to be here." She says shaking hands with the friendly woman.

"I've you will follow me I'll introduce you to the kids."

They walk into the room where the excited family is waiting. Callie looks at the two cute little girls sitting between their mom and dad. The older girl is wearing a purple and black bandana while the younger girl is wearing a pink and white bandana on her head, but there is no silky hair peeking out from underneath it. Callie swallows hard, there is only one reason why they are here because of the Make-A-Wish Foundation but looking at their dazzling smiles she couldn't bring herself to think of the inevitable.

"Callie I'd like you to meet our special guests for today Skyler and Ava and their parents Michelle and Kevin." Callie greets them and introduces her band, bodyguards, and girlfriend.

Skyler is seven and Ava is five years old both have acute lymphocytic leukemia their parents explained. They spend some time getting to know each other as well as taking pictures with Callie and signing some autographs. When the kids started to get antsy to get going they made their way into the park.

"Cant the guys go to the golf course instead, then we are technically still in the park?" Alex asks looking annoyed at all the children laughing and having a good time around them.

"No way Alex the last time we played golf you were stuck in the sandpit for so long people started to think you worked there," Owen replies. Ignoring them Callie kneels in front of the girls.

"So where do you want to go to first?"

"Rides!" They say in unison.

They spend the day riding rides eating junk food and meeting the girls' favorite Disney characters. Callie has to wonder who enjoyed it more the girls or her girlfriend and her two backup singers.

After going on yet another ride they all sit eating Mickey Mouse shaped cookies waiting for the parade to start. Callie looks around at everyone, It's cold and she is pretty sure half of them would rather be anywhere else than at Disneyland but they are all here… smiling, laughing even Alex after his rocky start he look like he is actually enjoying it. Yes, she is definitely living the good life. Some might look at her friends and find them a little unorthodox but she wouldn't change them for the world. Arizona is even gliding around on that ridiculous wheelie shoes of hers making the girls giggle at her antics. Looking at the girl's little smiling faces she has to smile too; they are truly having a good time their faces covered in chocolate, arms full of gifts and toys, and their adorable mouse ears on their bandana-covered heads.

"Come on Callie we are going to miss the parade!" Arizona calls her over with a big smile. Snapping out of her thoughts she walks over to where Arizona is waiting. "Is everything okay, it looks like you have a lot on your mind?"

"I'm perfect." She says kissing the blonde's cheek. "Okay, let's go we can't miss the parade." She takes Arizona's hand and Skyler's in the other as they make their way over to where the parade will be.

"Skyler, you okay?" Arizona asks seeing the strange look on the little girl's face.

"I really need to go to the bathroom." She whispers making Callie smile at the little girl.

"Okay let's see if we can find someone who can point us in the right direction."

"On it!" Arizona says seeing an elderly couple only a few feet away she walks over to them. Callie's head snaps up when she hears her girlfriend speaking French to the couple. She thanks them and walk back to see Callie staring at her with her mouth open.

"What?"

"You speak French?" Arizona just nods. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"And miss out on seeing Cristina walking around with a giant Olaf no way!" She says pointing to the drummer pretending to have the snowman talk to Ava who's giggling on her mom's lap. They both break out laughing, but Cristina was right she is actually good with kids. "Come on let's get this little lady to the bathroom."

On their way to the bathroom, Arizona is the unfortunate victim of a soda attack from a little boy drenching her in sticky soda. That led to Callie waiting in the gift shop for the blonde after trying to find her dry clothes to wear. The changing room's door opens and out steps Arizona in a white Disney hoodie, she pulls up the zipper hiding the pink inside. There are a few different colored stars across her right shoulder and arm, there is also an arrangement of Disney characters on the back. Arizona twirls around so Callie can get a better look.

"What do you think?"

"It's missing something." Arizona looks at her confused glancing down at her new hoodie. "I got it!" Callie quickly walks closer placing her mouse ears on her head. "Perfect." Arizona rolls her eyes but Callie wraps her arms around her girlfriend starting to kiss her neck making Arizona giggle.

"Callie stop, there are kids here." She says between giggles, Callie reluctantly releases her.

"I can't help it! It's physically impossible to keep my hands off of your body." She says smirking at the blonde.

"Calliope Torres keep it in your pants." Arizona chides her but fails to keep the smile off her face. Callie just shrugs before going back to just looking at her with can only be described as adoration. "What? You're staring at me." The blonde asks blushing under the singer's intense gaze.

"You're so undeniably beautiful." Arizona's cheeks redden another few shades. She turns her back to Callie finishing putting on her gloves. "Move in with me." The blonde freezes her movements at the sudden question, she slowly turns around to look at her girlfriend.

"What?"

"I know it's maybe too soon but this tour has spoiled me by having you around all the time."

"You want me to move into a house I basically already live in?" Arizona asks looking at the nervous singer.

"Yes, and I know we are busy with the tour and that we will barely be home at all for months. But when we do go home I want us to go home to our home together. Being home for Thanksgiving has shown me that I hate that you have your own apartment and I hate that you have a bed that isn't mine. Because I can't imagine living a day without getting to fall asleep with you or waking up without you in my arms. So Arizona will you move in with me?" Callie asks a little out of breath after her nervous ramble looking at the blonde's face not giving away any of her emotions.

"Let me see live alone in my crappy little apartment or live in a Beverly Hills mansion with my awesome girlfriend who I'm so madly in love with. That is a hard one." She pretends to think. "Yes, Calliope I will move in with you." Callie rushes over to her pulling her into a deep kiss.

"Maybe I should ask Bailey if she can see that your stuff is moved into the house by the time we get back. That is if you're okay with it." She quickly ads the last part not wanting to pressure her into anything.

"That sounds kind of perfect I hate packing even more than unpacking."

-x-x-

At the end of the day, both girls are passed out with a smile on their faces. Their parents thanks everyone again for the amazing day they just gave their daughters. Callie gives them each a ticket to her show as well as some VIP passes, she has to admit she is quite fond of the two girls after having spent the day with them. Arriving back at the hotel Callie and Arizona both fall onto the bed exhausted.

"Today was really fun."

"It really was." Callie looks at Arizona smiling, but then her smile falls when reality comes crashing back down around them. "It's so sad, they are such amazing kids."

"Yeah, they are pretty great."

"And having not one but both your kids sick it's… unimaginable." Callie takes the blonde's hand. "Is there really nothing that can be done?"

"Both have a very advanced cases, they are already doing everything they can for them. But Skyler and Ava are strong they can fight this." She looks at Callie who has a tear rolling down her cheek. "No matter what happens those girls had the most amazing day that they will never be able to forget." Callie nods before letting out a sigh.

"If something ever should happen to our kids I don't know if I'll survive it." Arizona catches that she said their kids. Not knowing if it was just a slip or if she really sees them having a family one day, but she really hopes it is the latter.

"It's not going to happen." Arizona snuggles closer to the singer drawing comfort from each other. "Are Aria and Mark still in Miami?" Changing the subject to lighten the gloomy mood that's now surrounded them.

"No, my parents were driving them crazy so they fled." That makes the blonde chuckle. "You know my dad figured out Mark was with Aria while we were still technically dating."

"Oh, that must have made him happy knowing he cheated on his one daughter with the other."

"Let's just say there is now a Mark shaped dent in our kitchen wall. But then I told him that I cheated on Mark with you so we are even."

"Why the hell did you tell your father that?! Now he is going to kick my ass!" Arizona asks alarmed sitting up out of Callie's embrace.

"Don't worry he might try to scare you some more but he would never hurt you."

"Oh." She says relaxing back into Callie's arms.

"He has people for that."

"What?!" Callie starts to laugh at her freaked out girlfriend.

"Sweetie relax it's just a joke."

"Fine, I will remember this when my dad pulls out his shotgun." She says slapping the laughing singer on her arm

"Shotgun? Your dad has a shotgun?" Callie is starting to get freaked out this time.

"Yeah, but don't worry he hasn't used it in years he's aiming must be a little off by now."

"It's a shotgun you don't need to aim!" Now it's Arizona's turn to laugh.

-x-x-

Everyone was happy to see Skyler and Ava at the concert. Arizona got to sit with them in the VIP area during the concert, and when Callie does a shout out to her two new little friends, she was sure she had never seen smiles that big.

Their whole Paris experience has been amazing but all good things must come to an end. For the first time, the flight back home was quiet. All the excitement of the new tour starting to turn into sadness from getting closer to the end. They will head out on the last part of the tour after the New Year. Living months on the road from one hotel room to another has turned their life into a never-ending adventure, suddenly sleeping in the same bed every night is starting to seem not that appealing anymore. Sure they will still see each other often but it's just not the same.

They walk off the plane finding Bailey waiting for them next to the limo.

"What no welcome home sign Bailey?" Callie asks her manager as they stop in front of her.

"No sorry I forgot my glitter pens at home." She looks at them all. "Glad to see you're all still fully intact, but we have a few things we need to discuss before you all leave." She takes turns telling each person the needed information. "Arizona I have had your apartment packed and moved to Callie's... I'm sorry you're new home."

"Thank you, Bailey; you're really good." The blonde says amazed, but there is a reason Bailey is the best of the best.

"Bailey is so good she should have her own action figure," Cristina says. "Miranda Bailey The Nazi – Stepladder sold separately."

"Yang!"

"Come on Bailey there is this entire world up there you don't know about." Bailey gives her a pissed-off look before continue talking to Callie.

"One of these days Bailey is going to beat your ass with that stepladder," Meredith says under her breath.

"Callie I'm sorry but Richard has asked to see you as soon as possible." Callie looks at Arizona apologetically.

"It's okay I'll just have the driver drop me off at the house and get a head start on unpacking while I wait for you." Callie nods before turning to everyone else.

"Well, happy holidays everyone I'll see you all again in the New Year." Everyone says their goodbyes before leaving in their separate ways.

They drive homemade Arizona to feel giddy, she is going home to a home she shares with Callie. Opening the door she comes face to face with her boxes in the foyer. Luckily she only had the bare minimum since her move from Seattle, but she really hates unpacking. Rolling up her sleeves she starts unpacking the first box just wanting to get it over with.

-x-x-

The meeting with Richard dragged on and on, two hours later Callie finally stumbled into the house. Looking around Callie spots the little touches of her girlfriend invading the house. Smiling she makes her way to their bedroom where she sees a few boxes still needing to be unpacked. Looking over to the bed she sees the blonde sitting on the bed looking defeated holding a box on her lap.

"Hey, I see you are almost done." Callie moves closer to her, Arizona looks up holding up the box for her to see.

"I found Spot." Callie takes the box looking inside.

"What, no it can't be?" Looking in the box to find the mutilated teddy bear, limbs cut to shreds and stuffing filling the box. That's when she sees a note at the bottom pulling it out she reads it.

You're one tough singer to kill, but everyone's luck has to run out at some point. Even if it means going through your teddy loving girlfriend.

"Where did you find this?" Callie is visibly shaking whether it is from fear or anger she doesn't know.

"Callie," Arizona puts a soothing hand on the singer's arm but it just makes her fist clench tighter around the letter.

"Where did you find this?" She asks louder.

"It was with the other boxes, I found it while I was unpacking."

"Call Alex and Jackson tell them to get over here now." She takes out her cell phone quickly dialing the number. "Eli it's Callie. The stalker is back."

They started to believe that the stalker might have backed off after the failed poisoning attempt but the new threat suggests otherwise. Eli took the box and letter with him hoping the stalker slipped up giving a clue to who it might be. It took forever for Arizona to calm Callie down, yes it's scary to have a vindictive stalker threaten you but seeing Callie blame herself for putting Arizona in danger was worse.

Luckily their new living arrangement has been distracting them both from obsessing over something they have no control over so they are rather focused on enjoying the now. Arizona has been bugging Callie with ideas about redecorating leaving Callie with a paint swatch migraine. Frankly, she didn't care what colors the walls are or which couch pillows fit in better with the overall look and feel of the room. Arizona could paint the walls bright pink with Hello Kitty pillows as long as she was happy Callie was happy. Callie was even finally able to get Arizona to go Christmas shopping, there is no way she was going to show up at the Robbins house without being prepared and for that, she needed her stubborn girlfriend.

-x-x-

Then the day arrived to leave for Seattle, Arizona is driving the familiar road to her parents' home and Callie keeps shifting in her seat. With each mile passing she is getting more nervous the closer she is getting to meet her girlfriend's parents, her girlfriend's military parents who own a shotgun.

"Callie relaxes, you have nothing to be worried about. My mother already loves you."

"She's not the one I'm worried about." She mumbles under her breath.

"Hey, I know my dad can be very intimidating but he is actually just a big old softy." Callie is fighting with her hands in her lap trying to get rid of her nervous energy. "If I survived your father you can survive mine." Callie nods, hoping to distract herself she turns to Arizona.

"What do you miss most about being here in Seattle?" Arizona takes a quick quizzical glance at the singer.

"Um…" She starts trying to figure out how to answer, she has tried her best not to think of Seattle over the months. But it doesn't take long to know the answer. "Being five minutes away." Callie looks at her confused. "When my car wouldn't start and I had no idea what to do, my dad said not to worry he is only five minutes away. When I wanted a good home-cooked meal my mother would say it's only five minutes away. When I lost a patient and needed a shoulder to cry on Teddy was just five minutes away. And when I wanted to spend all night eating donuts and watching Disney movies with…" Arizona lets the sentence die off.

"Emma was five minutes away." Callie finishes for her.

"Yeah. But do you know what I like about LA?" Callie shakes her head. Arizona reaches across to take her hand. "There is no more waiting for five minutes. You're always right there in the next room." She is rewarded with the most loving smile from the singer who quickly placed a kiss on the blonde's knuckles.

The rest of the drive was in relative silence. Arizona pulls the car into the driveway of the suburban house. Suddenly Callie's heart starts to beat faster. This is it.

"You ready?" Arizona asks seeing the panic in those brown eyes.

"Let's do this."
