This was kind of a filler chapter, I wanted to give them more time on vacation. I'm not entirely thrilled at how it came out, took me longer than I'd hoped to write it, so forgive me if it's rough, but than again this is all for fun, and I do not own anything, well I do own Jamie and Sarah they are my babies, and for some reason every time I write a story I have to some how have to have them in it. I just have to remember while writing them in this story they are different from my book. lol alright back to Calzona...
Chapter 9
Arizona
Waking up to Callie wrapped around me, naked, is the best way to wake up. Although the hair is going to take a bit getting used too, but if anyone can pull it off it was my Calliope. I smile at the thought of her being mine, nothing will make me leave her this time, and I will do everything in my power to not fuck this up. I meant what I said in my vows, I had lived life with her and I have lived life without her, and being without her nearly killed me in a way that no plane crash or shooting ever could. If you've ever seen the love of your life, your soulmate, your person, with someone else you know how it feels to die inside. I close my eyes tight as a memory of the day I saw my family leave the hospital with Penny, as the tears started to burn my eyes, I reached up running my hand through Callie's nonexistent hair. The shaved part felt kinda cool running my hand over it. Sofia really is going to flip when she sees it. I was still lost in my random thoughts when I felt Callie move and I was met with the brown eyes I love so much. I smiled at my wife, leaning down placing a kiss on her lips "morning"
"hmmm, morning" she says stretching out "you're an amazing pillow"
"thanks" I say trying to stretch out as best I could, "as much as I love you using me as a pillow I need to get up"
"gotta pee?" she asks, I nodded, and feel the coolness hit my naked body as she moves off me. I turn on the bed quickly putting on my prosthetic, once it is in place I lean over kissing Callie's shoulder and stand, not bothering to hide the fact that I was naked.

Callie
I love waking up wrapped around Arizona, but one look into her eyes this morning I could tell her mind was wandering back to a time and place it should not. It kills me to think about the time we were apart, and I thought I was happy when we first left for New York, and I was, for the most part, but a part of me was always in Seattle. I let my mind take me back to a time when I was not quite so happy. The day I found out Penny had cheated on me. How the hell could I have let that happen, yet again, how could I have been so clueless, all the signs were there. Shaking my head, I did not need to be thinking about the woman who almost cost me everything and for a year or more she did cost me everything. Luckily for me, the connection Arizona and I have withstood through everything. That was when I realized, Arizona does not know the reason Penny and I broke up, and she has not asked. Making a mental note to talk to my wife about it later that day. The ship was docking for the day, and we had plans to take in the sights. I hear the toilet flush and look over seeing my naked wife looking at herself in the mirror, washing her hands. I let out a laugh, at a memory, her head turns toward me "what's so funny?"
"I was just remembering when George and I were together" I laugh again it wasn't funny at the time, but it was now. "um, ok" she dries her hands then walks over to the bed, sitting down next to me. "Izzy, was in the shower, and the three of them, George, Izzy and Mer, all had this weird walk into the bathroom while someone is in the shower, thing going on" I shook my head "anyway, Izzy was in the shower and I went in to use the toilet, Meredith was brushing her teeth or something I'm not sure, but they were both in there, anyway I walk in, do my business and leave, not washing my hands" I see Arizona make a face. I laugh "exactly" I laugh "apparently they made a big deal out of it. What they didn't know however, is I felt like I was back in high school, and they were the cool kids, making fun of me, so I left as soon as I was done, heading down to the kitchen to wash my hands"
"that's good" she reaches out her hand running it over the little bit of hair I had left on the top of my head "this is going to take a bit" she smiles
"I know, for me too" I reach out pulling her in, giving her a proper good morning kiss.

Arizona
Spain is beautiful, we went walking through the town and did a little shopping, by lunch time, we decide to find a restaurant and have some lunch, we still had a few hours before we had to be back on board the ship. Callie leads me to a small restaurant tucked in the corner of an old building, from the outside it looked like the building was falling apart, but once we got inside, it was completely different. All the decorations were of Spanish accent and the smell of spices and food filled the air. My mouth was watering at the thought of what the food would taste like. I watch as she talks to the hostess, even after all these years I still don't know any Spanish, but that was ok, hearing Callie speak it totally turned me on. We are then led to a table, Callie pulls my chair out, kissing my cheek as I sat down. She turns back to the hostess saying something. "I have to use the bathroom, I ordered us a drink, if you can't read the menu I'll help when I get back" she smiles at me as I nod, I watch as she walks away, my eyes not leaving that perfect ass. Hearing someone come up to the table, I assumed it was the waiter with our drinks I hear the person say "beautiful women shouldn't be sitting alone" I turn my head to the intruder and smile, seeing the older blonde from the ship "hi Sarah"
"where's your hot wife?" she asks
"bathroom" I nod towards the direction Callie had went
"Hmm, mine too" she smiles nodding towards one of the chairs that doesn't have a menu in front of it "do you mind?"
"nope not at all" I watch as she pulls out the chair and sits down. "you know" she says looking around "the first time we came here, I didn't speak a word of Spanish, Jamie had taken it in high school, but by then she had lost most of what she had learned" she laughs, I turn my head meeting her eyes. She must have seen some sadness in mind "is everything ok dear?" I was lost on that question "um what?" I look at her with a confused expression on my face.
"I've been around" she smiles "and I can tell when someone is sad, like deeply sad"
"I'm not" I start to protest but she cuts me off "relax, my mother was a therapist, so I learned to read peoples body language, when I was young, was what made me approach Jamie all those years ago" I see her smile at the mention of her wife.
"I" I started to say but decide against it, if she was that good she'd see right through it anyway "Callie and I have been through a lot and I just, I don't know" I sit back in my chair.
"I've got time" she smiled at me, sitting back in her chair "Jamie takes forever in the bathroom, always has, I don't know what she does in there" I hear her laugh. I really liked this lady, "I don't know either" I join in on the laughter "so tell me Arizona, what is it like being a doctor?"
"a lot of long hours" I say blowing out some air.
"bet that's hard on a marriage" I look up meeting her eyes and nod "you said you two were apart for awhile?" I nod again 'great my own personal shrink' I thought to myself "what happened, I mean you two seem so happily in love"
"well" I clear my throat as the waiter brings the drinks Callie had requested, asking Sarah if she needed anything, she says something in Spanish, clearly she had brushed up over the years, I smile she must have knew what I was thinking "don't let that fool you, I'm not even sure what I said" we share a laugh, as I reach for my drink, and was shocked to find it had some sort of alcohol in it. Shaking my head I set it back down, it was good. I let out a breath and begin telling this lady I had just met a day ago, about my life with my wife.
"so you guys met at Joe's?"
"yes" I nod "it's the bar across the street from Grey Sloan" I see her smile "I know the place, while Jamie and I were apart, her sister Laura, took me there trying to" she stops "Arizona how old are you?" she smiles
"um" I swallow the lump in my throat 'where was she going with this?' "42" I say and hear her laugh "and you've been in Seattle how long?" she laughs again "um" I say thinking for a moment "just over 15 years I think, I'm not entirely sure anymore" I say reaching for my drink she starts laughing. "I thought you looked familiar when I first saw you, who could forget those eyes"
"um, excuse me?" I say
"you probably don't remember but back around then, my now sister in law had taken me out for the night, and we ended up at Joe's, she noticed this pretty young blonde sitting at the bar, the people she was with had left" it took a moment but it hit me, and I laughed "no way that was you?"
"yes" she laughed "you were so not liking that an older woman was hitting on you"
"to be fair" I smile meeting her eyes "that was the night I had met Callie in the bathroom and kissed her"
"whoa, wait up, back up, you met Callie in the bathroom at Joe's bar?" I smile and nod "but I thought you both worked at the same hospital?"
"we did, and do, but back then she was a resident, and I was an attending, a head attending at that" I smile
"so you just walked up and kissed her"
"something like that" I smile taking another drink, the memories of that night were starting to fade, but I still remember the feeling of Callie's lips on mine for the first time. Sarah was saying something but my mind was too lost in the memories. "so what happened? Why were you apart?"
"we were married once before"
"you've said that"
"oh" I let out a laugh "well after the plane crash" the tone of my voice changed "and I lost my leg" I see her nod but when I don't say anymore, I could tell she sensed my discomfort at the conversation so she said "my mom told me once that when something that devastating happens the brain tends to" she's cut off by Callie and Jamie "there you are I've been looking all over for you" Jamie smiles I watch as she kisses Sarah on the cheek.

Callie
Coming out of the bathroom stall, I see my newest friend, our eyes lock in the mirror as she smiles "fancy meeting you in here" I laugh "yeah"
"are you two enjoying yourselves?"
"I am, I can't say the same about my wife, but she seems to be" I see the older woman nod then turn her head "there's something" she reaches up to her own hair "ah, yeah, I cut it" we hadn't run into them the night before, Arizona kept me pretty busy in the room "well I like it" the older lady smiles
"thanks" I wink at her, turning the sink on to wash my hand, my mind running back to the conversation earlier about hand washing. Enjoying small talk with Jamie, I hold the door open for her, colliding into her as she stopped just past the door "oops sorry" I say
"what do you say we go to the bar and have a drink" she offers, I was about to object but as my attention finds my wife I see what she saw, that our wives were sitting together and by Arizona's posture I could tell it was a deep conversation "sure" I say turning my attention back to the older brunette standing in front of me, as she leads me to the bar. We both order a glass of wine, and perch ourselves on the bar stools. "so Callie" Jamie says breaking the silence that had fallen between us "is Callie short for anything?"
"Calliope" I smile
"ah, music" Jamie hums, I nod taking a sip of my wine "do you sing or anything?"
"not too often, but I've been told my voice is good" I shrug my shoulders
"I can tell by your voice it would be pretty amazing to hear you sing"
"if you say so" I smile
"Calliope" she sings, I find myself laughing "only my wife and my dad call me that"
"well I like it" she winks at me, then turns her focus on our wives "I wonder what they are talking about"
"from Arizona's body language it's an intense conversation" I say watching my wife. I'm feeling like a stalker but she's mine to stalk.. right? Shaking my head at that thought "tell me about Calliope"
"what would you like to know?"
"well I know you're married to a pretty hot doctor, you have a daughter together and you're a doctor yourself" I nod "I want to know more"
"um ok" I say getting a little nervous, she must have sensed it "I'm not trying to hit on you, I'm completely in love with Sarah, I knew that I was in love with her the moment I set eyes on her"
"I knew Arizona was my forever the first time she kissed me" I see her smile "Arizona and I have been through hell and back, putting our daughter in a rather difficult position"
"oh how so?"
"well" I reach for my wine taking a long drink "after the plane crash everything changed, Arizona changed" I stopped "I suppose losing a limb causes a person to change" I shrug
"I suppose so" I watch as Jamie takes a sip of her wine, letting the silence fill the moment a little longer "she ended up cheating on me" I say softly
"what" she looks at me eyes wide "you wouldn't be able to tell by how she looks at you"
"that was a long time ago, I, we tried to make it work after that, but I couldn't get past it, every time I closed my eyes I saw that other woman"
"that's hard, I couldn't imagine"
"we separated for a while but then got back together, eventually we went to counseling, which did nothing for us. I ended up walking out of that office, after she poured her heart out to me, alone and broken"
"why" she asked, I was confused not knowing what she was wanting to know "why what?" I give the woman a confused look "if she poured her heart out why did you leave alone and broken"
"oh" I let out in a laugh "I had realized that we both weren't the same anymore, and at the time I thought it was what I wanted" I see her nod in understanding "after that we went our separate ways, I started dating and met someone new, another doctor of course" I let out a small uncomfortable laugh "she um, she got a grant to work at one of the best hospitals in New York. So, I decided to follow what I thought was love, and move to New York"
"wait so you?" she started to ask but I cut her off "New York opened my eyes, after Penny cheated on me"
"wow people like to cheat on you" she laughs trying to keep the mood light
"yeah, my first marriage ended that way too" I shrug
"you were married before?" I nod "to someone who wasn't Arizona?" I nod "HIS name was George" making sure to put emphasis on his
"wow Calliope you're full of surprises"
"yeah" I laugh "after a bitter custody battle over our daughter she ended up winning full custody"
"ouch"
"but you know what my amazing wife did?" I ask picking up my glass she looks at me "after winning in court, she went and got me two plane tickets and brought Sofia to me. Saying Sofia needs her mom's happy, so I should follow my heart to New York"
"so you left" she asked, I nod my reply but then add "we had decided on joint custody, I had Sofia to start with and every year we'd switch off"
"that's tough on a kid"
"don't I know, when she was with me, I could tell she was missing her momma" Jamie nodded "that first year was hard, Arizona was amazing, when Sofia was missing her, she'd hop on a plane, even though she hate it, just to make our daughter happy" this lady who I had just met the day before, sat there listening to me talk about my life over the past ten years, never judging me.
"I have to say the one thing that has not happen to Sarah and I is neither one of us has been with someone else since the day we met" I was surprised by that admission, but than again they were from a time when, if something was broke you fixed it instead of running off and doing something stupid, like falling into bed with the first person you meet. Arizona and I were past all that now, we are happy, if the time apart did anything it made me realize that I can not live with out her. Realizing I haven't said anything in a bit, I smile reaching for the glass of wine in front of me. Chancing a look across the room, I see Arizona laugh. Setting the now empty glass on the bar "shall we join them?" Jamie didn't say anything, I see her nod as we both stand.

Arizona
After an amazing day around Spain, and running into our newest friends, the four of us decide to meet for dinner later that night on the ship. With some time to kill before, we head back to our room, my leg was sore from all the walking, and Callie looked tired. Once inside our room, I sit down on the bed, removed my pants, and my prosthetic. Letting out a moan, the day had been a warm one, and when the cool air hit my stump, it felt almost orgasmic. Leaning my head on the headboard, I close my eyes, feeling the bed dip as Callie sat down. "did you have fun today?" she asks
"I did" I smile opening my eyes I see my wife in the same position I am in "did you?"
"hmmm" she hums and moves closer to me, she places a kiss on my lips, it was quick at first but I reach up pulling her in closer. I wanted more, but then again; I always want more. I feel her open her mouth, and we both let out a moan as our tongues touched. We are lost in the battle, not pulling away until the need for oxygen overpowers us. She rests her forehead on mine, both letting out a little giggle. She reaches around me, pulling me down so my head was on her chest. "how's your leg?"
"fine now" I smile, tracing patterns on her chest, my finger gets to her nipple and I feel her take a sharp breath, I didn't actually intend to do what came next, but my body has a mind of it's own when I'm this close to my wife. I'm now straddling her, my shirt and bra discarded onto the floor. Callie's left hand is on my breast and her right hand trying hard to get the button open on my jeans. Taking pity on her, I reach down using both hands to undo it, she did not waste any time before her hand is on my most delicate area "damn" she says in a moan, I could feel how wet I was. I felt it start when I was talking to Sarah, talking or thinking about my wife always made me wet. I gasp, as I feel Callie slowly stick two fingers inside of me "Calliope" I moan letting my head fall back, as she moves her fingers in and out of me. I hear her whisper "come for me Arizona, I want to feel your juices cover my hand"
"oh god" I moan, hearing her talk like that always made me wetter, I start to ride her hand, she moved her thumb so it was putting pressure on my clit, and I knew then it wouldn't be long, and I would be falling over the edge, and I was right, Callie leaned forward taking a nipple in her mouth, as soon as her tongue ran over the bud, I felt it hit, calling out her name, and falling forward onto her.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Callie
We had spent the afternoon in bed, I had fully intended on napping but my body had a mind of it's own and it wanted Arizona. Laying there Arizona's head on my naked chest, she started tracing patterns on my stomach, feeling that pull again, she looks up at me. Our eyes meet, "so much for a nap" she had that look in her eyes, not saying anything I feel her move the sheet we had covering us, and slide lower on the bed. Already knowing what was going to happen I spread my legs, and let out another moan as her tongue runs along my already sensitive clit. We both knew it wouldn't take long, a couple flicks of her tongue and I was already starting to come undone. After all this was round 6 or maybe it was 7, I lost count after the second time I called out her name, and this time was no different. Once I hit my peak, I had to pull her off me, my body couldn't handle anymore. I see my wife smile, as she wipes my juices from her chin, reaching out I pull her down so I can kiss her. "you're amazing" I say just before our lips meet. She hums into the kiss, then moves to lay her head back on my chest. "I think you broke me"
"too much sex?"
"we aren't as young as we used to be" I smile running my hand through her hair. There used to be a time, back when we first got together where we'd be up all night making love countless times, and then head into work, with little to no sleep, but now, I can't do it. I hear Arizona let out a little chuckle, as she kisses my naked chest. "do you think it's weird that we met a couple from Seattle?" I hear her ask
"it is kind of" I say, what are the odds we are half way across the world and run into someone from home?
"I like them" she says I can hear the sleepiness in her voice
"I do too" I ran my fingers through her hair again, as the room falls silent. After a few minutes I hear "Calliope"
"hmm"
"I want to be them"
"them?" I ask confused
"Sarah and Jamie" she says "I want to be in my 60's still completely in love with you" I let out a little chuckle "me too" my wife always had a way with words, at least she wasn't rambling this time. Even though most the time I find her rambling to be a complete turn on, in some situations it just made it worse. I feel her place another kiss on my chest, I hear a ping from a phone. Surprised by the sound, last time I looked at it, when we got back to the room, there was not any service. Reaching for it, I type in the code, and check the message. "awe" I smile
"what" my wife asked looking over my shoulder "awe, our daughter misses us" the message was from Meredith a picture of Sophia. They were at the park, and Sofia was sticking out her tongue, the message said "I love and miss you mom's"
"I miss her" I smiled at the picture, typing a quick reply. "we should probably call her" I laugh realizing we hadn't talked to our daughter in a few days.
"we should, but she's in good hands" Arizona kissed my cheek, my phone pinged again, another message from Meredith 'she wants to know if she can call you?' I hold the phone up for my wife to read the message. I see her smile and say "now I want to hear her voice" I nod instead of hitting the reply button I hit call, the next thing we know the sound of ringing is filling the room. "mommy?"
"hi baby" I smile into the phone
"is momma there?" the little voice asks, we can hear kids screaming and laughing in the background
"I'm here baby" Arizona smiles "are you being good?"
"momma, I'm always good" we hear through the phone, Arizona and I share a smile. Knowing the truth behind Sofia's statement, we were lucky, outside of a few melt downs, here and there we had raised a good kid. "I just wanted to say I love and miss you" Sofia's voice came through the phone.
"we love and miss you too" Arizona says, it seems like my mind has gone blank.
"make sure you bring me back something cool, not something lame from the airport gift shop" now all the sudden our 7 year old was a teenager asking for something cool. This child I tell you, Arizona laughs "ok honey"
"Sofia, before you hang up will you put aunty Mer on?" I say I at least wanted to talk to my friend a bit, we've been gone a few days and I'm sure there's a lot of gossip going around the hospital.
"ok mommy, I love you. I love you too momma"
"love you too" Arizona and I say in unison
"well thanks but I don't swing that way, and you're both married" Meredith's voice comes through the phone in a laugh, Arizona and I both shake our heads. "that wasn't for" I start to say but decide different "never mind" she laughs "I hope you two are having fun"
"oh we are" I look down at Arizona's still naked body, I see her smile, as there's silence on the line, "shit, Bailey no, guys I gotta go, have fun, love you both" we both laugh as the line goes dead. "thank god Sofia is a girl" Arizona says.
"right" I toss my phone back on the stand next to the bed, looking around at the small clock on the wall, we still had some time before meeting Jamie and Sarah. I lay down on the bed and pull Arizona's head to my chest. We are quiet for a few minutes, as Arizona draws circles on my stomach. "you ever think about wanting another?" she says quietly I almost didn't hear her.
"well" I say running my fingers through her hair "I have but" I move under her, not really sure how to have this conversation.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Arizona
I'm not really sure what prompted me to bring up this conversation, knowing how it was when we tried last time. I sensed Callie's hesitation "after everything" she says "I think maybe it'd be best if we waited a bit"
"we aren't getting any younger" I say, as I stopped my drawing on her stomach
"I know" she says letting out a puff of air "Arizona, I"
"Calliope, it was just a question, don't get worked up over it" I move so I can kiss her, she was the one who always wanted kids, Sofia had come about as an accident, a beautiful accident. I see her smile "how about we save this talk for when we get home" she says, I smile and nod. If I was being completely honest I wasn't sure what I wanted, Callie and I hadn't been back together all that long, and Sofia is finally happy, having her mom's back together, would bringing in another child ruin all that? I decide to do as Callie said and wait until we get home to have this conversation. "Calliope" I say
"hmm" god I love that sound
"I, I, I'm sorry" I stutter
"what for?" she asked I can hear the confusion in her voice
"for everything" I say letting out a breath
"we've already gone through all this" she says, she takes hold of my chin so I can look at her "Arizona, it's all in the past, we are different people now" I'm lost in her eyes, so I just nod she smiles at me, before placing a kiss on my lips "what do you say we get showered and ready to go?"
"ok" I lean in kissing her again, this time my tongue runs along her lower lip, she opens her mouth, and I feel that pull in my stomach.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Callie
I was not sure how to react to my wife's question. It is true I always wanted a house full of kids, but I only wanted them with Arizona, Sofia turned out perfect, and honestly, I couldn't imagine having another baby that wasn't Mark's. I was having these thoughts staring at myself in the bathroom mirror, we had just finished our shower, Arizona was in the room getting ready, but I'm standing here in the bathroom still wrapped in my towel. With my hair short now, it took me a lot less time to get ready. I feel her come up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist. "you're going to make us late"
"hmm" I smile, meeting her eyes in the mirror, she smiles back and kisses my cheek.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Arizona
Callie has been quiet since that conversation, I wasn't sure what was going through her head, but I figured she'd tell me when she was ready. Walking down the hallway to the bar where we were meeting our friends. I reach for her hand, then stop, quickly I push her up against the wall, my lips on hers, kissing her hard. When I feel her, kiss me back I knew I'd broken her out of her funk. Pulling back I look into those brown orbs, "I don't know what's got you in a funk, but I wouldn't worry about it"
"ok" she smiles pulling me in again kissing me.
"I love you Calliope, and we already have an amazing family, that's enough"
"is it?" she asks quietly I almost didn't hear her
"yes, it is" I smile looking at her "now come on, they probably think we're ditching them" I pull back, grabbing her hand again.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Callie
Jamie and Sarah are already in the bar when we arrive. "there you are" Jamie says when she sees us walk up to the table "I was beginning to think you ditched us for some hot sex"
"no" I laugh
"that was when we got back" Arizona says sitting down at one of the empty chairs.
"Sofia wanted to talk" I say mirroring my wife's actions and taking a seat at the other empty chair.
"oh having a daughter must be fun, how old is she again?" Sarah asks
"she's 7" Arizona says proudly
"going on 16" I laugh
"I've heard that's how it is with girls" Sarah shrugs
"do you have any kids?" Arizona asks
"no" Jamie shakes her head, looking at Sarah who adds "we tried once, but it didn't take, we just figured it wasn't meant for us, besides with Jamie's career choice, it" she stopped
"it wasn't right for us" Jamie adds,
"you two can be our daughters" Sarah says picking up her drink, taking the last sip "I need" she stands nodding for Arizona to join her. I see my wife nod, and stand, she leans down "what would you like?"
"surprise me" I smile placing a kiss on her cheek.
"kids talk" Jamie says in a sigh
"yeah" I let out a breath
"you guys only have the one right?"
"mmhmm" I say looking at the older woman "we tried for a second, but ended up losing it"
"ouch" Jamie reaches her hand across the table placing it on mine "Sarah and I" she stopped, looking to see where our wives were "we talked about it when we were younger, she tried, the artificial way of course, but like we said it didn't take. So we just figured it wasn't meant for us" I look up at her meeting her blue eyes, I could see how much wisdom was behind them. "my twin sister Laura and her wife, they have three" she smiles
"your sister is gay?" I ask with a smile and see her nod "wow"
"we're one big gay family" she laughs. "they have 2 girls and a boy, triplets" she laughs again "my parents were so excited when she told them. Sarah and I, well, that was right after we found out neither one of us could, well you know, you're a doctor" she laughs, I nod, looking down at my hand that was playing with a crack in the table "I got pregnant with Sofia on accident" I look up meeting her eyes "Arizona had" I say sadly, shaking my head "my best friend Mark, who died in the plane crash, he was Sofia's dad" I see her nod. "I honestly can't picture myself having another kid who wasn't his" I say, it was the first time I had said that out loud, after all those years. I see her nod and sit back in her chair.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Arizona
Sarah and I were at the bar, she turns around looking at our wives at the table "Arizona is everything alright?" damn this lady whom we had met just a few days ago can tell something is off too.
"well" I say "I'm not really sure" I let out a sigh "we talked to Sofia earlier, and after that I had asked if she'd thought about us having another baby"
"and she's been quiet since?" Sarah asked
"mmhmm" I say, "we didn't make it last time because instead of telling each other how we were feeling we'd keep it in until it all blew up. I don't want that to happen again" I don't know why I felt the urge to explain all this to someone I'd just met, but I did "well" I hear her say "Jamie and I had that problem in the beginning, that's how we ended up apart for 2 years, you need to find some common ground, and talk, and don't run away when it gets rough" by this point the bar tender had come over, we ordered the drinks, "you two remind me of Jamie and I, you've got the love that it takes to make it, you just gotta communicate, tell her how you're feeling, and let her talk" my mind went back to the shrinks office, Callie and I have never been good at communicating in the past, but since we've been back together it had been different, we've had talks, and haven't fought, which was a good thing. "I do love her" I say "I always have"
"I saw it the moment I first saw you two" Sarah smiles, the bartender brought our drinks "don't worry kiddo, you got this" she winked 'did she really just call me kiddo?' I had to laugh at that, as I picked up the drinks and followed her back to the table.

Back in the room, Arizona was in the bathroom doing her nightly routine. Mine had changed since I cut my hair. I still was not sure what made me do it, but too late now, and I liked it, it sure took a lot less time to get ready, which will help once I'm back to work. Laying on the bed looking up at the ceiling, I hear my wife come out of the bathroom, and sit on the bed, I move my head so I can watch her as she takes off her prosthetic and moves to lay down. I hear her let out a deep breath "Callie, I think we should talk" I sigh, knowing this was coming "ok" I say moving so she could lay her head on my chest. Waiting for her to begin this conversation "I'm sorry I upset you earlier"
"it's not that, it's" I start to say then stop, thinking a moment I take a deep breath "after you lost the baby, I realized" I stopped again trying to find the right words "I don't want to have another baby that isn't Marks" I blurt out, she moves so she was looking at me "honestly" she says "I don't either, he was such a great dad to Sofia, and she's amazing"
"so, what you're saying is"
"I don't think we should" she says "but what I think we should do is think about it, we can adopt, or something I don't know" I give her a sad smile "Arizona, I don't know if I want to do that, I mean our lives are busy enough, we hardly have time for Sofia" she's quiet for a few moments, how am I the one who's saying this, I was the one who through the fit way back when about wanting kids. "you're right" she says "we have Sofia that's enough" she smiles giving me a kiss "I didn't bring that up to cause problems, I just thought it was something we should discuss"
"and we did without fighting"
"go us" she cheers and kisses me "I want us to communicate more" she adds, I nod "when you feel like you did earlier, tell me"
"ok" I smile. Looking at the clock I notice it is late, and I am tired after the day we had. I reach up pulling her down "I love you Arizona"
"I love you too Calliope"
So I was on Facebook awhile back and saw that someone had posted something about the Grey's Anatomy game. So I decided to go searching for it because I'm that obsessed. I found it on Ebay and it came yesterday lol Does anyone else have it? If so what do you think? Alright well I'll go back to writing this story hopefully I'm not disappointing anyone by the crappy story lines. The next chapter has a little excitement in it. I'll post that in a few days or so as I don't really have a schedule to when I post, I just write and go through it, once I think it's ok enough to post I post it. ok enough rambling... have a good day!
