AN: Hello everyone! September had the lowest views and visits that this story has had since I posted it. Maybe the views were abnormally high because of quarantine and now people are back to work and school, I'm not sure. What I do know is there is definitely an invested group of you and I am so grateful to you.

For those of you requesting more sex, your wish has been granted, do NOT read this chapter at work or in public, fair warning. If smut isn't your thing, skip down to the second half of the chapter. Sometimes things are written far in advance and I just don't know where in the story it will fit in. This is one of those chapters. For those of you who were confused about the JJ, Carlos, Selena mention, I promise everything will be cleared up eventually. It was mentioned in passing intentionally. I'm sorry if that was confusing. Also, JJ will be dealt with at some point, I promise. For those of you who don't like the time jumps, I'm sorry. There's a lot of detail which you guys have said you enjoyed but with that makes long chapters and difficulty moving the story along so time jumps are going to happen. Most of the time they aren't big ones and I try to make them flow. I will keep in mind that you aren't all fans of that but sometimes it is necessary.

For those of you sending me well wishes and thanking me, I appreciate it. I know how much I enjoy seeing a new chapter of my favorite fanfictions pop up so I really try to keep up for you guys. And as much as you look forward to the chapters, I enjoy reading your reviews and messages. I hope you guys enjoy this one :) Stay safe and healthy. Happy reading!


Chapter Forty-One

"Callie!" Arizona half squealed, half laughed as the brunette jumped up and grabbed her around the waist, knocking her own chair over in the process.

Callie didn't respond, she was busy running her tongue up Arizona's chest from the spot where her v-neck t-shirt offered her the smallest of glimpses into the blonde's cleavage and the freckle she adored all the way up to the pulse on a slender neck that was beating rapidly under her tongue. She felt Arizona's breath hitch and the brunette smiled. They had finished dinner maybe fifteen minutes ago and were enjoying a glass of wine, the blonde had been talking excitedly about plans for a housewarming party in the near future when she passed by Callie to get more wine and Callie decided she couldn't wait any longer, she just had to have the blonde. Mark had put a wrench in their sex life with his drunken reveal of what he and Callie had done one time in Callie's bed. After that, Arizona refused to sleep in the bed and the air mattress wasn't exactly conducive to sex. Needless to say, Callie felt they had a lot to make up for.

The brunette lifted the blonde to sit on the edge of the table before grabbing the thin cotton material of Arizona's v-neck and pulling it up her body, removing her lips from Arizona's flesh momentarily so she could pull it over the blonde's head. Once the shirt was disposed of, the brunette claimed the blonde's lips with hers and a heated and passionate kiss followed. Callie made quick work of Arizona's bra before she pushed her down gently onto the table, placing her own weight over top of the smaller woman as she continued their kiss. She felt Arizona's hand on her chest and released pink lips to look at the flushed woman beneath her.

"Callie, not on the dining room table. Our family ate at this table last night and they will again in the future."

"We have cleaning products but I want you right here, right now on this table Arizona."

"Oh fuck." Arizona replied as Callie flicked the button on her shorts and pulled the zipper down. Arizona lifted her hips to allow the brunette to remove the shorts and moaned as Callie pulled her roughly to the edge of the table. She placed kisses over the inside of Arizona's thighs and over her cotton covered center.

"You smell good." Callie whispered as she continued kissing up Arizona's body. Arizona trembled both at the words and in anticipation as Callie's fingers hooked the thin material of her underwear and slid them down her legs.

Callie didn't give her time to protest a second time as strong fingers ran up and down her slit gathering the moisture that had gathered there before they entered her, sinking into her deeply. Callie kissed Arizona as she moaned with the intrusion but continued thrusting, using her hips to aid her fingers deeper. While her two fingers curled and stroked the inner walls of the blonde, Callie's thumb brushed carefully over her sensitive clit strategically causing the blonde to cry out and claw desperately at Callie's back. Callie sucked a pink nipple into her mouth, biting down gently as she curled her fingers and brushed her thumb over the blonde's clit once again.

"Oh fuck, Callie." The blonde shouted a split second before her orgasm hit and a string of curse words fell from her lips.

"Language Dr. Robbins." Callie replied with a smirk as she kissed the flushed flesh of Arizona's chest, her fingers gently stroking inside of her as she brought Arizona down from her high. As much as she wanted to take the blonde again, she meant what she said about christening every room in this house so she knew she would need to pace herself.

"Wow." Arizona replied a few minutes later as her breath evened out.

Callie smiled down at the blonde with a smug look on her face before placing a kiss between her breasts. She could do this all night and she planned to. Not only was this their first home together but it was also their anniversary, well maybe not exactly but their first date was definitely significant and worth celebrating. It had been the beginning of so many things for them.

"Are you still opposed to sex on the dining room table?" Callie asked cockily.

"Not as long as you're not opposed to it on the kitchen counter. Why are you still dressed anyway?" Arizona asked, sitting up so she could remove Callie's shirt, her pale hands caressing the skin that was several shades darker and much softer than her calloused surgeon fingers. Arizona's light touches on her sides and abdomen caused goose bumps to erupt over Callie's skin. The blonde smiled and leaned down, placing a tender kiss just below Callie's bra line.

Skilled fingers set to work ridding Callie of her bra before she backed her up into the counter of their new kitchen. She fumbled slightly with all the buttons on Callie's jean capris before pushing them and her panties forcefully to the floor with a triumphant smile as she kissed the brunette. Breaking the kiss, she pulled Callie's bottom lip into her mouth and bit it enough to just cause a little painful pressure before swiping her tongue over it to soothe the ache she created.

"Hop up." Arizona ordered, patting the counter top. She knew it was too high for her to be able to lift the Latina onto it herself but Callie obeyed without question.

At this height, Callie was too tall for Arizona to reach her lips without Callie bending down but she was at perfect height to worship Callie's amazing breasts. With a giant smile, Arizona set to work kissing, licking, and sucking at Callie's tender flesh. Everytime Callie moaned or groaned, Arizona grew more confident in her mission to worship her girlfriend's fantastic breasts. She thanked the cosmos that such wonderful things as breasts existed and Callie's specifically were enough for her to believe in a higher being at that moment. She brought her hand up Callie's thigh and used her body to nudge her legs open further. Callie received the message and threw her head back as Arizona's fingers explored her slit.

"Fuck, Arizona, this isn't going to take long." Callie said as Arizona's touches became more deliberate.

"You're so wet." Arizona whispered, releasing the nipple she had been nibbling at while her hand gathered up moisture.

The blonde brought her mouth to the other nipple and licked it broadly before blowing air onto it as she let a single finger slide into Callie's entrance. The brunette tensed in her arms for a moment and Arizona slowly pumped her finger in and out of her. Her mouth never left Callie's chest as she added a second finger and brought her thumb to Callie's clit. She used her hand to curl her fingers inside of Callie while simultaneously keeping her thumb rubbing circles against her clit. Her other hand was on Callie's lower back, holding the Latina tightly in place.

"Oh my God, Arizona, what are you doing to me?" Callie asked, her body now moving against Arizona's hand. This was a new feeling, Arizona's fingers applying pressure and caressing the spongy area of her g-spot and her thumb working wonders on her clit. The angle with the height difference and her sitting on the counter offered a different feeling and it was almost too much to take.

"Come for me, Calliope." Arizona whispered against Callie's skin as she felt her abdominal muscles ripple against her own sensitive nipples. Callie threw her head back again, her fingernails digging crescent shapes into the flesh of Arizona's shoulders as she held on.

"Ohgodohgodohgod." Callie chanted, her words barely discernible.

"That's it baby."

"Oh fuck!" Callie yelled, her release intense as she felt her walls spasming around Arizona's fingers as a powerful orgasm overtook her. Her body quivered and trembled as several smaller orgasms hit while Arizona gently continued stroking her, her fingers still trapped inside of Callie.

"You are so beautiful when you come like that. How did I get so lucky?" Arizona asked, kissing the now sweat coated chest of her girlfriend.

"You give me an orgasm like that and think you're the lucky one?" Callie asked, a lazy smirk on her face. That had been one hell of an orgasm she thought. Arizona pulled her fingers out gently as Callie's muscles relaxed and Callie moaned as she watched Arizona suck her fingers into her mouth.

"Where next?" Arizona asked, now fully onboard with this plan. Not that she hadn't been before but her initial reservations about making a mess on tables and countertops were gone.

"Should we continue downstairs or do you want to take this to the bedroom?" Callie asked.

"Bedroom." Arizona replied as the box in their closet popped in her head.

Callie hopped off the counter and grabbed Arizona by the hand, pulling the giggling blonde up the stairs behind her. Distracted by the blonde's roaming hands on her thighs and ass from behind, Callie missed the last step and crashed down onto the carpeted floor less than gracefully.

"Oh my God, Callie, are you ok?" The blonde asked, dropping to her knees next to the brunette who was laughing.

"I'm fine, but since we're down here, the hall counts as a room right?" Callie asked as she rolled on top of the blonde, pinning her arms above her head.

"Last time we were in this position I had rug burns on my ass." Arizona replied, remembering the unforgettable night in Spain.

"You're going to have rug burns again, baby." Callie said as she spread Arizona's thighs and laid between them. Her hand wiggled between them and she entered the blonde without warning.

"Callie…" the blonde whimpered. The way the blonde bit her lip and said Callie's name nearly drove her insane. She used one thigh to back her thrusts while she placed her other leg over Arizona's thigh to get some much needed friction against her own center. She felt Arizona's hand come between her legs and she moaned as her fingers entered her.

"Arizona that feels so good."

"Ride my fingers while you fuck me." Arizona demanded, causing a rush of wetness to leave the Latina. It never ceased to amaze the brunette that the sugary sweet blonde had a dirty mouth and a dominant side in the bedroom.

With every thrust into the blonde, she felt Arizona's fingers move inside of her and the feeling was bringing her higher and higher. Arizona was writhing beneath her, her center becoming almost too tight for Callie to move. Without a word, both women brought their thumbs across the other's clit and it was all Arizona needed to come, screaming Callie's name which sent Callie over the edge, her own body falling limply on top of Arizona.

"Are you ok?" Arizona asked, gently stroking Callie's hair and back as she lay breathing heavily on top of her.

"Yea, we should move more often. I could get used to this." Callie replied.

"I meant the fall you goob. Did you hurt yourself?"

"I'm fine, promise. How're the rug burns?"

"I'll definitely feel those for days but totally worth it." Arizona replied with a smile. The two shared a few chaste kisses before Callie stood, pulling the blonde with her.

"Bedroom?" Callie asked. Arizona nodded her head with a smile.

"You lay on the bed and take a break, I have a surprise for you." Arizona said as they entered their bedroom.

Callie obeyed, as much as she was enjoying this, a short break wasn't unwelcome. Deciding they both could use some hydration, Callie called out to Arizona, who had disappeared into the closet, that she was running downstairs to grab them some water. She grabbed her robe and quickly made her way to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Arizona was having a mini meltdown in the closet as she struggled to fasten the harness around her hips. It was far more complicated than she had expected, that coupled with her sudden concern that Callie wouldn't enjoy this little turn of events, and the blonde was beyond nervous but she wanted to do this. Finally getting the harness in place with the sparkly pink dildo in the holster, Arizona called out to Callie.

"Are you ready for your surprise?"

"More than ready."

"Ok close your eyes."

"Arizona…" Callie protested.

"Please Calliope." Arizona asked.

"Fine." The brunette grumbled, closing her eyes. She was expecting the blonde to emerge in some skimpy teddy that would surely have her drooling and she didn't want to miss a second of that sight but she humored her nonetheless.

"Are they closed?"

"They're closed." Callie called back.

Arizona peeked her head out, noting that Callie's beautiful brown eyes were, in fact, closed. Taking one last, deep breath she emerged from the closet, the pink dildo protruding as it rested snuggly against her pubic bone. She walked to the end of the bed and gathered her courage.

"Don't laugh, ok?"

"Arizona, I won't." Callie promise.

"Ok, open your eyes."

"Holy mother of everything holy." Callie said softly, her eyes taking in the sight of Arizona in a bright pink leather harness with a sparkly pink dildo attached. If it was any other person, the Latina probably would be on the floor rolling with laughter but it was just so Arizona that she found it very sexy. "Who is laughing?"

"Do you like it?" Arizona asked, uncertainly.

"I never thought I'd say this about a sparkly pink dildo but yes, Arizona, I love it."

"Really?"

"I do. So you think you're going to use that on me, do you?" Callie asked, looking into blue eyes for any sign of doubt. Blonde curls bounced as the blonde nodded her head yes, a dimpled smile breaking out over her face.

"If you'll let me." Arizona responded.

"You're sure?"

"More than sure. I've wanted to do this for a long time now, I was just waiting for the perfect moment. This feels like it's the right time." Arizona said.

Callie reached for the blonde, pulling her down on the bed next to her. Callie's mouth was on Arizona's in an instant and the two battled for dominance, Arizona's tongue possessively stroking and prodding Callie's until the Latina gave in. She felt Arizona's lips over her neck, nibbling at her ear, sucking at her chest. Their hands roamed over each other, exploring and caressing.

Arizona let her fingers slip down to Callie's slit, feeling the moisture that had gathered there. She wanted this but she also wanted Callie to feel good and she really was out of her element. In the bedroom she had always been confident and she had worn a strap on before, once, with one other person but this time it mattered more. She wanted to give Callie everything she ever wanted. She coated the foreign appendage attached to her with the moisture she had gathered from between Callie's legs.

"I don't really know what I'm doing." Arizona confessed as she looked deep into dark brown eyes.

"Just do what feels natural. Arizona, I promise, I will like whatever we do, I already do, without this." Callie assured her. Arizona could see that she was genuine and her eyes were filled with lust but also love and she knew Callie meant those words. It was all the confidence she needed.

"Tell me if I hurt you." Arizona whispered, lowering herself between Callie's legs.

"You won't." Callie whispered. She brought her hands down, one resting on Arizona's bare ass, the other holding the pink dildo in her hand as she helped guide Arizona to her entrance.

Her breath caught and her back arched automatically as Arizona entered her slowly. It had been a while since she had used a toy or been with a man and the initial fullness was a bit of a shock but her body quickly adapted. Arizona held perfectly still, waiting for Callie to adjust.

"Are you ok?" Arizona asked, afraid to move for fear of hurting the brunette beneath her.

"Yes, it's ok, you can move."

Arizona leaned down and placed a loving kiss on Callie's lips as she moved her hips slightly. She kept the rhythm slow and the thrusts light until Callie's hands on her ass urged her to move quicker and harder. Her forearms were burning so she leaned down onto her elbows, allowing her to gather more leverage.

"Oh God, Arizona." Callie said, clutching at the blonde's skin. She had never used a strap on before and never imagined it could feel like this but having the blonde behind the thrusts of the object filling her was erotic.

"What do you need, Calliope?" Arizona asked, peppering her neck with kisses even as she thrust into her.

"Deeper, harder." Callie cried out as Arizona obeyed, pulling almost all the way out and then thrusting back in.

"You are so hot, I love fucking you like this." Arizona said. And she meant it. She had never understood it before but she wanted nothing more than to make Callie hers in this way at the moment.

"I'm almost there, oh God, yes, Arizona, just like that." Callie yelled. Arizona found it harder to thrust as Callie's muscles spasmed around the dildo and she thrust in as deep as she could one last time before Callie came undone beneath her. She shouted Arizona's name several times as she plummeted over the edge. Arizona stared at her, feeling a rush of emotions invade her at the sight of Callie coming undone beneath her.

"I love you so much Calliope. You are so beautiful." Arizona said, kissing her everywhere she could reach without moving. The dildo still buried deep inside the Latina as she came down from her high.

Once she felt the Latina's muscles stop spasming, she pulled out with a hiss from Callie. Standing up, she quickly unstrapped the harness and tossed it aside to be dealt with later. She climbed back into bed quickly and pulled the Latina into her arms, feeling the need to hold her after that. Callie hugged her tightly back as she drew lazy patterns across Arizona's arm. Arizona stroked her fingertips up and down Callie's back lightly while the brunette hummed in contentment.

"That was amazing." Callie said, breaking the comfortable silence.

"It was. I have to say, I really enjoyed taking you like that. I felt like…"

"You felt like what? You can say it."

"I felt like I was making you mine." Arizona confessed, feeling slightly embarrassed. She knew Callie was with her, loved her, wanted her, desired her even. But she couldn't help let her insecurities creep in every once in a while. The biggest one being that Callie enjoyed sex with men and she lacked the ability to give her that. But now, it felt different. It felt like she was finally able to give her that and she had enjoyed having her body in that way. Maybe she was more possessive than she thought.

"Arizona, listen to me. I am yours. Not because you used a dildo on me but because I chose you. I want you. Do you understand me?" Callie asked, looking deep into bright blue eyes. The blonde nodded her head.

"Good. Now, how about a bath? I could use a bath after that and I'm sure your ass and hips are sore after the moves you just pulled."

"Mmm, that sounds awesome." Arizona replied.

"First, drink that bottle of water, you need to rehydrate."

"Planning more festivities after bathtime?"

"During bathtime, actually." Callie replied with a smile.

The couple took a leisurely bath which turned into another round of sex, though this time, it was less intense. It was more about connecting. Callie pulled Arizona to straddle her, adjusting their legs so that their cores were slightly touching. Arizona moved her hips against Callie, creating circles against her as their clits brushed together, the two of them orgasming together as their bath water grew cold. After the bath, they both got dressed into fuzzy robes and made their way downstairs for a glass of wine and to cuddle on the couch while they watched a movie. Arizona was sprawled out across Callie's chest, one arm dangling off the couch as Callie held her tightly against her. The lazy circles Arizona was drawing on Callie's chest with her other hand started to become more erotic as she repeatedly brought her fingers over the brunette's taut nipple. Callie followed the blonde's lead and let her hand slide up under the fluffy pink robe as she gripped Arizona's bare ass cheek in her hand.

"Are you really ready for another round?" Callie asked, an eyebrow arched as Arizona lifted up and looked down at her. She brought her mouth down to Callie's, kissing her passionately in response.

"I want to go upstairs and let you take me the way I had you." Arizona replied, meeting Callie's gaze. Callie looked at her with a questioning look.

"You do mean with the strap on, right?" Callie asked, feeling the need to clarify even as excitement shot to her core. Arizona smiled softly and nodded her head.

"I want you to make me yours." Arizona replied. She reached for the remote and flicked the television off. The couple made sure the house was locked up, lights were off, and both table and counter were scrubbed clean before they made their way upstairs. There was no rush with this. Callie would take her time, she wanted this but more than that, she wanted Arizona to enjoy it and be completely sure.

Entering their bedroom, Callie picked up the disposed strap on and harness, intent on cleaning them so she could put them on. But Arizona rushed over to her, taking them from her hands. "In the box in the closet, these are just for me to use on you."

"Oh my God, Arizona." Callie exclaimed as she took stock of the box full of toys that the blonde was responsible for ordering months before.

"I wasn't sure what to get or what you would like so I kind of went crazy, ordering some of each type for you to choose from. I'm kind of excited to use this one." Arizona said, picking up the black strapless strap-on that was held in place by a smaller dildo the wearer would use.

"Mmm, me too but not for tonight. I need to be in control of myself tonight and I wouldn't be if we used that."

Callie picked up the black harness Arizona had picked out for her and looked through the different dildos she had to choose from. She didn't want something too big, she wanted this to be an enjoyable experience for the blonde, something she would want to repeat. But she also wanted something she would feel, the idea of her feeling Callie inside of her and remembering it the next day thrilled the brunette. Finding one of average length and girth, Callie picked up the red dildo.

"I should have known you would choose a red one." Arizona replied as she licked her lips. Callie also picked up a bottle of lube and led Arizona to the bed.

"Callie, I don't think you're going to need that. I've been thinking about this all day and I am soaked now that I know it's going to happen tonight."

"That may be so but we're still using the lube tonight." Callie replied as she backed Arizona into their room. She placed a hand over a bony hip bone to hold her in place as she kissed her passionately, Arizona allowing Callie's tongue to possess her mouth with her own.

The couple stood beside their bed kissing for several minutes before Arizona's fingers slipped into Callie's robe, caressing her soft, tan skin as she untied the belt of her robe and let the garment fall to the floor. She felt Arizona's fingers graze over her own curvy hip before dipping into the folds of her already dripping center. Just a few sensual kisses and the knowledge of what she was about to do had Callie soaked. She felt the blonde's fingers caress her swollen clit and Callie let out a moan, the two of them falling onto the bed with the strap-on still clutched in Callie's hands and the brunette on top of the blonde.

Arizona took her time working slow deliberate circles on Callie before dipping down to gather more moisture and coming back up to work her circles again. Callie bit the material of Arizona's robe over her shoulder into her mouth as the blonde's pressure grew greater and Callie felt the rippling of an upcoming orgasm in the pit of her abdomen begin. Her arms shaked as she kept herself positioned above Arizona, her legs straddling the blonde but not applying pressure to her body. She rocked forward and back as Arizona continued her circles and suddenly her orgasm exploded in a rush of fluid over Arizona's hand and waist.

"Fuck, I didn't think I could have another one so powerful so soon." Callie said as she caught her breath.

"I love it when I make you do that." Arizona replied with a smug smile.

"Wipe that smug smile off your face because I am about to take you, hard, and make you come just as hard." Callie replied. She smiled as Arizona's eyes darkened slightly as her pupils dilated and she felt her tremble beneath her. Callie stood and stepped into the harness, securing it tightly around herself. Arizona visibly swallowed as she watched Callie.

"I'm nervous." The blonde confessed.

"We don't have to do this."

"I know but I want to."

"Ok. You can change your mind at any time ok. You tell me to stop and I stop." Callie assured her, letting the blonde know that though Callie liked to be dominant, she was actually in control of this situation.

"Thank you." Arizona replied with a tender smile. Callie lowered herself back on the bed and the two shared a tender kiss. A heavy make out session ensued and Callie couldn't help but run her tongue over the flushed flesh of Arizona's chest. The blonde moaned in delight at the feeling and Callie took the opportunity to wiggle her hand down between their bodies.

Gathering moisture, Callie entered the blonde slowly with two fingers, sliding them in and out a few times. Arizona's skin grew a slightly darker shade of pink and Callie watched in awe as the blonde arched her back, bringing her breasts closer to Callie's face. She couldn't resist so she took a dark pink nipple into her mouth as she scissored her fingers and then added a third. She worked Arizona up, brushing her clit a few times before withdrawing completely just as the blonde was feeling herself climb toward an orgasm. The blonde opened her eyes to protest but the sight of Callie rubbing lube over the red dildo stopped her.

"Are you ready?" Callie asked. Arizona nodded her head even as her heart began to race but she trusted Callie completely and she wanted her. "Say it out loud, Arizona."

"I'm ready." Arizona said. Callie nodded and leaned down to kiss her, bringing the dildo in contact with the blonde's clit and causing her to moan.

Callie reached down and grabbed the dildo, rubbing it up and down the blonde's slit a few times before bringing it to her entrance. She stopped and waited for the blonde to open her eyes and look at her before she applied pressure with her hips causing the tip of the appendage to enter the blonde. Callie watched as blue eyes widened and waited before she pushed in a little further, Arizona whimpering slightly as she entered deeper.

"Do you want me to stop?" Callie asked as she pushed in deeper still and the blonde squeezed her eyes shut. Arizona shook her head no and reached for Callie's hand, clasping their hands together tightly. She needed to feel grounded and connected and the contact did that for her.

It seemed like hours to Callie before she was fully inside the blonde when in actuality it had been only a minute or two. She stayed completely still, knowing the blonde was uncomfortable with the stretching the dildo was causing. She waited patiently, whispering words of endearment and peppering the blonde with kisses. The blonde nodded her head lightly as she drew in a shaky breath and Callie slowly began moving her hips. She was hyper aware of every moan, every hiss, every bit of tension in the blonde's body.

"Oh God, Callie." The blonde moaned as Callie moved her hips a little more forceful than she had before. She felt fingernails dig into her back as Arizona's hips bucked up to meet her thrusts.

"You are so sexy, Arizona."

"Make me come, Callie." Arizona said, her eyes meeting Callie's briefly before Callie thrust forward again. Callie reached for the bullet she had removed from the box and placed it against Arizona's clit, causing blue eyes to pop open once again. "Oh shit."

Callie smirked. She knew Arizona might not be able to get off this way alone the first time but she wanted her to feel good so she had grabbed the bullet as an afterthought and was now very glad she had. Arizona's hips suddenly bucked up much more frequently and her eyebrows were knit tightly together as she bit her bottom lip between her teeth. Callie could tell the mix of pain and pleasure was bringing the blonde to the edge of a powerful orgasm as it became harder and harder to move inside of her.

"Just let go, baby." Callie whispered, nibbling Arizona's ear as she stopped thrusting and instead used her hips to create small circles inside of her.

"Oh fuck." Arizona yelled, clutching Callie's ass tightly and holding her against her. "Fuck, fuck, Callie."

The blonde's hips thrust and her hands held Callie in place as her entire body went rigid, her mouth stuck open in a silent scream before her whole body shuddered and quivered as it relaxed below Callie. Callie stayed still, letting the blonde ride out her own high against her. When Arizona stilled below her, Callie slowly pulled out.

"Oh, ah, I didn't expect that." Arizona said as Callie pulled out of her.

"Sorry yea that can sometimes feel a little unpleasant, I should have warned you. Are you ok, baby?"

"Mmm. That was the most painful but also one of the most pleasurable orgasms I've ever had." Arizona replied, her eyes closed but a smile on her face.

Callie quickly rid herself of the harness and dildo and then moved over to the bed, pulling the blankets down and encouraging Arizona to climb beneath them as she followed suit. She opened her arms to Arizona and the blonde gladly laid down in them, resting her head on her favorite place over Callie's heart.

"I love you." Callie said, kissing the blonde on the head and pulling her impossibly closer.

"I love you too, Calliope, so very much." Arizona replied.

"Don't fall asleep baby, we need to clean up first."

"I won't, I just want to cuddle with you for five minutes first."

"After that, how can I ever deny you?" Callie asked, a giant smile gracing her face.

"You're pretty proud of yourself huh."

"You know, I totally am. I'm the one that got to take THE Arizona Robbins' virginity."

"Callie, I hate to tell you but I am far from a virgin. Our activities tonight should be evidence enough of that."

"I know but I got to be your first at something and that feels pretty damn good."

"You're a dork."

"I'll remember that tomorrow when we Christen the rest of the house."

"Oh God, we are both going to be walking funny and wearing turtlenecks on Tuesday at work." Arizona giggled as she noted the bite marks she had left on Callie's chest and neck. It was in the heat of passion, what could she say.

"Welcome home babe." Callie replied with a laugh.

"Welcome home, Calliope." Arizona responded, the biggest dimpled smile she could muster plastered to her face.

XXXXX

"Babe, have you seen my other earring?" Callie asked, exiting the bathroom with a glance in Arizona's direction.

"Did you look on the counter, hon?" Arizona asked, not looking up from where she sat at their vanity applying her makeup.

"Yea, it's not there."

"Well check the floor, maybe it got knocked off when you were preoccupied on the counter with my head between your legs." Arizona answered nonchalantly, a slow smile crossing her face as she caught Callie's eyes in the mirror.

"That's not helping." Callie said.

They had been in their house for a month now and while Callie's surgeries had slowed down for the time being, Arizona, on the other hand, had been busier than ever. Back to school injuries and illnesses seemed to be a real thing and the couple had made up for lost time that morning. Tonight, however they were having a housewarming party with their friends, most of them being from the hospital, though being the nice neighbors they were, they had invited Trish and Stan. In all honesty though, Arizona had invited them when she had been caught carrying in party supplies and felt obligated to, much to Callie's dismay. Thankfully, they were busy with prior engagements and declined the invite asking for a rain check. It wasn't that she disliked them or didn't want to get to know her neighbors but for now, she just wanted to stay in her bubble with Arizona and that did not include pushy, nosy neighbors invading their space.

Their shower and then bathroom counter activities had put the couple behind getting ready and now Callie was stressed to get everything ready in time for their guests to arrive. Callie huffed and went back into the bathroom in search of the rogue earring. She was about to give up when she caught the light shining off of something on the floor and found her missing earring under the cabinet.

"Did you find it?" Arizona asked, peeking her head in the bathroom.

"Yea. Wow, Arizona, you look...just wow." Callie said, looking her girlfriend up and down.

"You like?"

"I really do." Callie responded, stepping toward Arizona who held up a finger.

"Uh-huh. You stay away from me. Karev will be here any minute and I don't want him catching either of us naked." Arizona replied, stepping back with a finger still suspended in the air between them.

"I just want a kiss."

"It will have to wait because I'm not falling for that one again. I am going downstairs to finish getting the tables set up in the backyard." Arizona replied, leaving before Callie could close the distance between them. Their sex life had always been pretty active and creative but living together had amped things up and it seemed neither of them could keep their hands off the other.

Callie was just finishing pulling the salads from the fridge when the doorbell rang. She removed her apron and made her way to the door, Arizona was still out back where the bulk of the party would take place. Opening the door, she smiled widely as Karev, Amelia, Lexie, and Mark stood there holding beer and wine.

"Welcome, come in." Callie said, stepping aside to let them in.

"Where's Robbins? She said she needs someone to man the grill." Alex said, getting straight to business.

"She's out back hiding from me. Here, take these with you."

"Hiding from you?" Alex asked and then seeing the smirk Callie gave him, he shook his head mumbling, "You know, I don't want to know."

She smiled as he took the packages of steak and chicken from her hands and made his way down the hall to the back door that led to their backyard. Next week they were having some guys come and put up fencing in the side yard that would connect the side and the back yards. It would nearly double their yard by combining the spaces as well as offer them privacy from the road. Callie had convinced Arizona pretty quickly of the benefits of the purchase once they started looking at hot tubs. The brunette was hopeful they would be adding one soon and wanted the fence in place first.

Callie manned the door and showed off their home as their guests arrived in small groups. Dinner would be served in half an hour and the bulk of their guests were there so Callie meandered back to the yard with Meredith and Derek in tow. She looked around the yard at her friends, Addie was chatting away with Mark and Lexie. Teddy was sitting at the table with Nick, who had learned to use crutches and was getting along quite well. Callie had fitted him for a new prosthetic soon after they had returned from their fourth of July trip and he had been using it in therapy. Kacie sat at the table with Teddy and Nick, neither of them confirming that they were an official couple yet but the two were seen together frequently. Also at their table was Henry Burton who Teddy had gone on a few dates with now. April, Maggie, Jo, Stephanie, Andrew, and Matthew were seated at the other end of the table playing some sort of card game and laughing.

Arizona stood at the grill with a glass of wine talking to Alex and Ben as the two men paid attention to the steaks and chicken that was currently being placed on the grill. Bailey, the Chief, and Jackson Avery were in deep conversation about a surgery the three had performed together the previous evening. Sitting on the swing in the backyard was Izzie and George and around the fire pit was Owen with his guitar, Cristina, and recently joining them, Meredith and Derek. The gang was all there and Callie was beyond happy to share all of this with their friends.

"How about that kiss now?" Callie asked. It was Labor Day weekend and Arizona was dressed in what Callie could only describe as a long sleeved shirt that was being worn as a dress. The material was silky and a deep fall burgundy color that buttoned down the middle, the buttons ending where the matching belt was tied neatly around a trim waist. The bottom of the dress ended mid thigh and brown ankle boots adorned her feet, showing off her muscular runner's legs.

Arizona looked up at Callie sweetly and placed a loving kiss on her plump lips. One that was full of feeling but appropriate for present company. "You look hot."

"Me? I can't believe you're walking around in a long dress shirt." Callie said, liquid pooling between her thighs as she looked Arizona up and down. Callie was wearing a simple brown wrap around dress that made her boobs look amazing and her sun kissed skin have a golden hugh. She had completed her look with a pair of brown knee high boots that she knew Arizona appreciated on her.

"Everyone looks so happy." Arizona commented as she hugged Callie to her side and looked around at all of their friends.

"They do. Are you happy?"

"The happiest. What about you?"

"I'm as happy as you are, honey." Callie replied, smiling into big blue eyes.

"Ok love birds, steaks are done." Alex said, interrupting.

After dinner and a few drinks, more people gathered around the campfire. The guitar was passed from person to person, people taking turns singing or just playing while others were content to just lay back and listen. Callie was sitting on a blanket with her back against a tree and Arizona curled up into her side. Another blanket covered them and between the wine, the blanket, and Arizona's body heat, she was feeling pretty cozy.

"Torres, you're up." Owen said suddenly.

"Oh no, no, no. I don't sing." Callie replied, slightly panicking.

"Calliope, you have a beautiful voice and I'd kind of like to hear it." Arizona said softly, encouraging the brunette to go sing. She didn't want to push her but Callie had no reason to be shy. Callie shot Arizona a glare that made her swallow hard and not in a good way but the brunette walked over and sat on the stump next to Owen. Arizona got up and followed her over, standing behind her to offer her support.

Owen started strumming a familiar tune and then the red head opened his mouth and began singing How to Save a Life. When he reached the chorus, Callie joined in and the two harmonized beautifully. Arizona felt her heart rate pick up as she heard Callie's voice, she really could have chosen to be a broadway star instead of a surgeon though Arizona was glad she hadn't or they may have never met. By the last chorus a few people with drinks in them were brave enough to chime in and Arizona smiled widely, who knew there were so many surgeons with a hidden talent for singing.

"Another, another." Arizona shouted, getting more people to agree with her. Callie seemed more relaxed with the idea and she whispered into Owen's ear. This time, Callie sang completely alone as she seemed to captivate everyone. Arizona recognized the song immediately, Callie loved to listen to Sara Bareilles and she had quickly become one of Arizona's favorite singers because of it. Arizona's eyes brimmed with tears as Callie sang the words to Gravity.

"Wow, Torres, I didn't know you could sing like that." the Chief said, wiping at his own eyes.

"That's because I don't like to sing in front of people and some people here are aware of that." Callie said shooting Arizona another glare that told her she wasn't off the hook for that little stunt.

"But you have such a beautiful voice, Calliope, it makes me swoon." Arizona replied with a soft smile causing lots of "awe's" to be heard from their friends.

"Ok, enough of that. Someone else's turn." Callie said, standing up from her spot beside Owen.

The party broke up fairly quickly after that, their friends leaving in small groups just as they had arrived. Those on call and therefore couldn't drink drove the ones who were drinking home. Arizona cleaned up the dishes and put the food away while Callie visited with their few remaining guests. It was the least she could do for making Callie face one of her fears.

"There you are, Blondie." Mark said, entering the house. Mark, Lexie, Addie, and Teddy were the last among their group to leave, the four of them enjoying their visit with Callie.

"Hey Mark. I was just finishing up the dishes and then I'll come join you guys."

"Here, you rinse, I'll dry, it will go faster that way."

"No, you're a guest, I don't mind doing this."

"I don't mind helping and I'm more than a guest. I'm Callie's best friend and I'd like to think I'm a friend of yours so let me help."

"Ok."

The two worked together quickly and efficiently to get the dishes cleaned and put away. Arizona actually found herself enjoying Mark's company when he wasn't abusing residents, making inappropriate comments, or staring at her boobs. She was a little surprised to find he was genuinely a nice guy with a good sense of humor. The two were in the middle of a heated discussion of playful banter about which city had the best pizza, Chicago or New York. Arizona argued that Chicago, hands down had the best pizza while New York took the prize for best hot dog. Mark insisted there was a hot dog place in Chicago that blew New York hot dogs out of the water but New York won for best pizza.

"You're crazy, completely loony tunes." Arizona said as Mark argued his point. Callie chose that moment to walk in.

"Hey, hey, what's going on here?" Callie asked, thinking this couldn't be good. She became suspicious when she noticed the absence of Arizona and then Mark.

"Callie, tell your girl that the place in New York across from the hospital has the best pizza." Mark said.

"Now way. Chicago style is where it's at, Sloan."

"Wait, you guys are arguing about pizza?" Callie asked.

"And hot dogs. Mark says New York has the best pizza and Chicago has the best hot dogs but he's completely got it backwards."

"Ok, I'm staying out of this one but why don't you two come join the rest of us?" Callie replied, noting the clean kitchen. She pulled Arizona against her so that the blonde's back was flush with her front and kissed her neck as she hugged her tightly.

"But she's wrong." Mark argued.

"Mark…" Callie said, partially teasing but in a warning tone.

"Fine." Mark said, removing the dish towel from his shoulder and tossing it on the counter in defeat.

"Thank you."

"So, Blondie, about that cooking class, care to join?"

"What's in it for me, Mark?"

"Besides the privilege of my company? We can learn to cook some amazing french food to knock Lexie and Callie off their feet. We could even make it a double date night. We make a pretty good team in the kitchen already."

"I'll think about it, Mark." Arizona replied.

"Ok but let me know by Wednesday because Thursday is the first class and I kind of already signed us up. I can't get my deposit back if I cancel after Wednesday." Mark confessed to Arizona, causing her to roll her eyes.

"You would deserve it." The blonde replied.

"Hey, do you two know there's a stain on your new table? Kinda looks like ass cheeks." Mark commented, turning his head for a different angle as he pointed out the exact spot where they had christened said table the weekend they moved in. Arizona's cheeks flushed brightly and Callie smiled her mega-watt smile.

"Thanks Mark, I'll see if the warranty covers that. I think Arizona may have gotten bleach on the table." Callie replied, trying desperately not to laugh at Mark's confusion and Arizona looking like she wanted to melt into the floor.

"Hmm, it's an odd stain." Mark replied with a shrug as he started back down the hall toward the backyard. "You know, there won't be sex on the table at cooking class, right Blondie?"

Arizona

Arizona found herself meeting Mark at the local high school after work on Thursday night. She was just locking her car to head into the building when her phone rang. Mark wasn't there yet, the class didn't start for twenty minutes but Arizona was always punctual. Seeing Tim's name light up her screen, she answered the phone to kill some time while she waited in the parking lot for Mark.

"Hey Tim, what's up?" Arizona asked as she answered her cell, leaning against the trunk of her car.

"Nothing much. What are you up to?"

"Just waiting for Mark to meet me for a french cooking class he roped me into. As usual, I'm early and he never is so I have about fifteen minutes to kill."

"Good because I have some news to share with you." Tim said.

"Oh yea?" Arizona asked, kicking some pebbles with the heelys she was still wearing. She hadn't wanted to chance being late so she hadn't taken the time to go home and change. Her jeans, t-shirt, and heelys would have to do for cooking class.

"Remember how I told you that I was going to propose soon?"

"You did it?" Arizona exclaimed.

"Yea, this past weekend. Mom and dad know but there's more, something no one but Sara and I know."

"What?"

"Sara is pregnant."

"What? Tim! I mean, I'm assuming this is happy news? You're happy about this, right?" Arizona asked.

"I mean it was unplanned and much sooner than either of us wanted but yea, Arizona, I am so freakin happy."

"I'm going to be an auntie!" Arizona squealed.

"You are." Tim replied with a dimpled smile.

"So when is the big day?" Arizona asked.

"Well, that's the thing. We sort of are on a time restraint because Sara is already eight weeks. If we can make it work, we would like to get married next month, October 12th, before Sara starts showing too much. I could care less about it but it's important to her. And we both want to be married before the baby gets here."

"Oh, wow that's awfully soon to pull a wedding together."

"We just want something simple. We want to do it at Grammy and Pops in Missouri on the Robbins farm. Most of our family is already there and Sara only has Nick and Nora left. Both of her parents were only children and her grandparents have passed. It's going to be just family and very close friends."

"I'll be there."

"Yea you will because Nick is my best man and you're my best woman, if you say yes."

"Yes, of course Tim." Arizona replied with a smile.

"Good because Sara has dibs on Teddy since I got you and Nick. We wanted to make sure Nick would be able to walk her down the aisle. Nora is going to stand up with her and Teddy."

"It sounds lovely. It's short notice but I will make sure I get it off of work. The weekend of October 12th, I am on call but Callie is off. I will see if Karev will switch with me. He's on call on Halloween and he hates working Halloween, I'm sure I can convince him." Arizona replied with a wide smile.

"Ok sis, let me know as soon as you can. I can't get married without you so let me know before everything is set in stone."

"I will. Looks like Mark is just pulling in with a whole three minutes to spare. I have to go. Love you, Timmy."

"Love you too, Zozo."

The cooking class went well and Arizona enjoyed it more than she cared to admit. Thankfully they were really just going over the basics because Arizona was distracted. She was going to be an Auntie and Tim was getting married. She just couldn't stop smiling, she was so happy for her brother. The smile slid off her face once she realized that this was a six week course that Mark had signed them up for and she was now spending the next five Thursdays for two hours with Mark. She felt tricked but she also appreciated that he was trying to get to know her and find some common ground for Callie's sake. And honestly, once she got to know him a little better, she actually kind of liked him. He was like an extra big brother that she didn't want but appreciated nonetheless.

"Callie, you home?" Arizona asked, dropping her belongings on the bench. The Latina's car was in the garage but that didn't mean anything since the couple had driven in together and Lexie had agreed to drive her home.

Getting no response, Arizona did a quick check of the first floor before heading upstairs. She checked their bedroom and bathroom but there was no sign of Callie. Figuring she had been held up at work, Arizona changed into her pajamas and started downstairs to get a glass of wine when a light at the end of the hall caught her eye. She made her way down to their shared office space and smiled at the sight. There was a single L-shaped desk with a hutch that housed both of their laptops. A filing cabinet and paper shredder were on the wall beside the desk but near the french doors, facing the backyard, they had placed a couple of accent chairs with a table and lamp between them. Callie was quite the reader and wanted a space for reading. The other wall that didn't house the french doors was a wall of bookshelves which between the two of them, was nearly full.

Callie sat in one of the accent chairs with the lamp on and a glass of wine on the table. The book she had been reading was open, still clutched in her hand and her reading glasses were crooked on her nose as the brunette slept with her head tilted to one side. Arizona took in the sight for a moment. She thanked her lucky stars once again for being able to come home to this sight. She hated to wake her sleeping beauty but she knew her neck and back would not thank her if she let her sleep that way all night. So, with one last smile, Arizona kneeled down and pulled the book from Callie's hand, carefully placing the bookmark in to mark her page. One of their first arguments had been Callie's treatment of a book Arizona had let her borrow. She had returned it with evidence she had dog eared several pages and the blonde had lectured her on the proper ways to bookmark a page. Arizona smiled fondly at the memory.

"Calliope, Calliope, wake up honey." Arizona said, gently tucking dark hair from a tan face. Remembering that Callie wakes up swinging sometimes, Arizona stood and took a step back as she gently shook her and called her name again. As predicted, Callie jumped awake, full of fire as she often did when she was sleeping hard or fell asleep in a strange place. Arizona grabbed the wine glass just in time as Callie nearly knocked it off the end table in her confused state.

"Sorry. What time is it?" Callie asked as she took in her surroundings.

"A little after ten. Come on babe, let's get you to bed."

"How was the cooking class?"

"Actually kind of fun but don't tell Mark. Do you know he signed us up for the whole six weeks?" Arizona asked.

"He failed to mention that bit to me."

"Well he did. So for the next five weeks, my Thursday nights are filled."

"Like your schedule isn't busy enough. You don't have to go babe."

"I know. Speaking of busy schedules, I have some pretty exciting news if you're up to hearing about it."

"Of course I am." Callie said with a smile. She pulled Arizona into her lap and wrapped her arms around her.

"Well, not only is Aria getting married but Timmy is too."

"What?"

"Yep, he called me and told me tonight."

"Wow."

"And that's not all."

"What else?"

"He's getting married on October 12th. Do you think you can make it? I'm going to talk to Karev tomorrow about switching some things with our schedules. I'm going to be indebted to Karev forever after all of these weddings. This year is so busy and I just took over as head of department but it's Tim so of course I have to make it work." Arizona rambled.

"October 12th as in, like a month from now?"

"Yep." Arizona replied.

"Wow, that's quick. What's the rush? Did he knock Sara up or something."

"Callie, you ruined the other part of my surprise! I'm going to be Auntie Arizona." Arizona replied, a giant dimpled smile spreading over her face.

"Really? I was just teasing." Callie replied with a laugh.

"Well, you were absolutely on the right track. She's eight weeks."

"Wow, two weddings by the end of the year and a baby sometime, what, in the spring?"

"Yea, if she's eight weeks probably sometime in April, I would think."

"Well Auntie Arizona, I think we better make sure we make it to that wedding." Callie said with a smile as she kissed Arizona hard on the lips.

Callie

A little over two weeks later, Callie was feeling down. She watched the clock turn to midnight and her mood sunk lower. She was now thirty years old. Her little sister was getting married, Arizona's brother was getting married and expecting a baby. She knew she should be happy, grateful even, and she was. Buying a house with Arizona had made her ecstatic but it also left her wanting more. She thought it would ebb her craving for a while but instead, it made the ache more intense. She threw the covers back and huffed. Arizona had been called in at ten for an emergency surgery so she didn't even have her there to distract her from her bad mood.

She made her way downstairs and grabbed a bottle of wine and then went to draw herself a bath. She had plans with Addie in the morning for a mani and pedi and then they were going shopping and to lunch. Arizona had told her to keep her schedule clear after that so she assumed the blonde had made dinner plans of some sort for them.

The hot water mixed with the wine and a few dabs of Arizona's essential oils did the trick and Callie was feeling much sleepier and less tense when she emerged from the bathroom forty-five minutes later. She looked at her phone and saw she had a text from Arizona.

Happy Happy Birthday, Calliope. I'm sorry I'm not there to say it in person. I love you and I can't wait to spend the next thirty years with you. I'll see you in a few hours. Sweet dreams birthday girl.

Callie couldn't help but smile at the message. A wave of guilt washed over her. They had only been dating for a year and they had just bought a house together. For Arizona, that was moving at warp speed but for Callie, it was like slow motion. She always jumped in feet first and dealt with consequences later. Clearly Arizona pictured a future with her and for now she decided she would just be patient and give the blonde some time. After all, they had agreed to soonish, whatever that meant she thought as she climbed back into bed.

Callie felt the bed shift and glanced at the clock 4:04. She was generally a heavy sleeper but since moving in with Arizona, she found it hard to sleep if the blonde wasn't safely tucked in bed next to her. She felt slender arms slide around her and Arizona's lips pressed into the space inbetween her neck and shoulder.

"Happy birthday, Calliope." Arizona whispered with another kiss.

"How did you know I was awake?"

"You weren't snoring." Arizona replied simply.

"Tough surgery?"

"Yes but she pulled through. Teenagers drinking and driving. I swear, Callie I would go crazy on our kids if they ever pulled a stunt like that."

"Our kids?"

"I mean obviously we don't have any but if those were our kids, well let's just say they're lucky I'm their doctor and not their mom."

"Hmmm hardass Arizona is kind of a turn on." Callie replied, her earlier frustrations popping in her head.

"Do you think I would be a good mom?" Arizona asked suddenly as she sat up again.

"Of course I do but where is this coming from?"

"The parents of those four kids, they seemed like good parents. One was a single mom, her child was the one that was hurt and the only one sober but too young to drive. The other two sets of parents seemed normal, supportive, present but their kids still went to a party, got drunk, and wrapped their BMW around a tree. Why do sixteen year olds need a car anyway?"

"Arizona, you are a brilliant doctor and you will make a phenomenal mom someday, I promise."

"I'm terrified of being those parents."

"I know you are."

"I'm going to be a neurotic freak when Tim's baby is born."

"And it will only make me love you more. Come on, lay down and get some sleep babe because I'm going to want morning birthday sex." Callie said, rolling over and pulling Arizona against her. She felt the blonde's body relax slightly and they both fell asleep.

"Addie, I swear, sometimes the things she does just blows my mind. I'm surprised I can even walk right now." Callie said as she and Addie walked through the mall. They had just completed their mani's and pedi's and a little retail therapy was in order for the best friends before their one o'clock lunch reservations.

"God I envy your sex life. Do you know the last time I had a hamburger it was...oh my God, I can't remember my last hamburger."

"Hamburger? We're still going with that? Because if I had to compare what Arizona and I were doing with food it would be filet mignon or better yet, a seafood smorgasbord, not a hamburger."

"Maybe I should try some filet mignon."

"Hey, get your own, I don't share." Callie replied, an arched eyebrow aimed at her best friend.

"Relax, I don't speak the vagina monologues. I'm just saying I need some meat."

"Ok and I am officially done with this conversation." Callie replied with a roll of her eyes.

"Oh look, maybe I should get a pair of those heelys Arizona skates around in." Addie said, pointing at the pair of white and pink shoes Callie had bought her girlfriend a few months ago.

"What do you mean skates around in them?"

"Just what I said, she skates up and down the peds ward in them. Haven't you ever seen her?"

"No, no I haven't. How the hell does she skate in sneakers?" Callie asked.

"Oh, Callie, that's the point of heelys. They are sneakers with roller skates in them. The ones that brought all those kids in for you to work on last spring." Addie explained cautiously, realizing that Callie had no idea what kind of shoes she had bought the peds surgeon.

"I'm going to kill Yang." Callie said through gritted teeth, realization dawning on her at last.

"Maybe we should go look at purses instead." Addie suggested, steering a scary looking Callie away from the offending shoes.

An hour later, their wallets were considerably lighter and their bags heavier as the friends made their way to the Japanese steakhouse for their lunch reservations. Thankfully the purchase of two new purses and a pair of boots at a different shoe store had distracted Callie from her earlier realization that she had bought Arizona heelys, or more accurately, been tricked by Yang into buying them. Addie knew it was a matter of time before that can of worms was reopened though.

Callie tried calling Arizona several times as Addie paid their bill to let her know she was on her way home but got no response which she found suspicious. As she and Addie were walking to Addie's car, her phone rang and Arizona's picture popped up.

"Hey babe, I'm sorry I missed your calls, everything ok?"

"Yea, I was just letting you know I'm on my way home. Are you ok? You sound out of breath."

"That's why I missed your call, I went for a run and left my phone here by mistake."

"Did you have a good run?"

"Yea, I did. So, are you on your way home?"

"I am."

"Good, I have plans for you." Arizona replied with a smile.

"Oh yea, well I have something I want to talk to you about."

"What's that honey?"

"How come you didn't mention what heelys were when I gave them to you?"

"What?" Arizona asked. She had assumed Callie had known what they were since she was an ortho surgeon and she was dating a peds surgeon who loved the shoes. She did have to admit that she found it odd that Callie would buy them for her though.

"Don't play innocent with me. You and Yang played me."

"I thought you knew, Callie I swear. I've been skating around in them for months. How did you just now realize?" Arizona giggled.

"Addison wanted to buy a pair while we were at the mall."

"Well, you gave them to me and I love them and the kids love them so it's too late to take them back."

"Hmm we'll see about that."

"How long until you get home?" Arizona asked, switching the subject.

"About ten minutes but Addie is going to come in and stay for a bit so don't come to the door naked or something." Callie replied, knowing her girlfriend would likely surprise her in that way.

"Thanks for the heads up." Arizona giggled.

Ten minutes later Callie and Addie walked through the door carrying their loot and laughing about a song rendition the two had just performed in the car. A single happy birthday balloon was floating, anchored to the kitchen counter with a note attached that said "Go to the backyard for your surprise."

Callie gave Addie a questioning look, the redhead shrugging her shoulders as Callie led them down the hall to the backdoor, "Arizona?"

"Surprise!"

Callie jumped in surprise as Arizona, along with both sets of their parents, Aria, Jared, Abuela, Nonna, and a good portion of their friends blew whistles and shouted surprise. Arizona sat on the edge of a hot tub that was wrapped with a big red bow. Callie looked at her with a questioning look.

"You did all of this?"

"It's not every day that you turn thirty, Calliope." Arizona replied with a smile. Keeping Callie's surprise party secret had been difficult for the blonde. She had made the plans back in August when both of their families had been there helping them move and keeping something from Callie for six weeks was not easy for her.

"I can't believe you're all here." Callie said, hugging them, a happy smile on her face as she hugged each family member.

"Like we would miss you turning thirty." Aria replied, smugly as only a little sister could.

"We had to come see the house." Nonna said, hugging Callie tightly.

"We wanted to celebrate your birthday with you, mija." Carlos said, hugging her tightly.

"It was your mom's idea. We just helped her plan it." Arizona said with a smile.

"And the hot tub?" Callie asked.

"It's the one you picked out. And it's a collective gift, everyone pitched in a little." Arizona explained nervously.

"I can't believe you were able to keep this from me." Callie said, wrapping Arizona in a tight hug and then planting a passionate but chaste kiss on her lips.

"Tim and Sara couldn't make it. They're busy with wedding plans and Tim is nervous about Sara traveling too much but he sends his love and he says he has a present waiting for you."

"Hmm, I'm a little scared of a Tim present." Callie teased.

"Happy birthday, Torres!" Mark interrupted, hugging his friend.

Callie walked around hugging and visiting with everyone. She noticed Yang was conveniently absent at the moment though she suspected she would be here at some point so she would just have to be patient. Many of their friends worked weekends, especially the residence so it wasn't uncommon for people to come and go at these types of gatherings.

As the sun was setting, a bonfire was lit and a giant birthday cake was wheeled out as all of Callie's friends and family sang happy birthday to her. Maria led them for a second round of Happy Birthday in Spanish which they all slaughtered, save for the Torres family and Arizona who had been practicing. Callie was beaming and beyond happy. Her birthday had started out with her feeling down and old but had ended with her being surrounded by the people she loved most and a bright looking future, despite the fact that she was saying goodbye to her twenties and entering her thirties. Maybe her thirties would bring her all of the things in life that she hoped for, one could only hope and she did hope as she blew out all thirty, yes thirty, candles on her birthday cake. And if that wish came true, it was bound to be the best year yet.

"What did you wish for?" Arizona asked.

"I can't tell you or it won't come true."

"Hmmm, it must be some wish."

"Oh it is." Callie replied with a giant smile.
