A/N: So my exams have been rough. I still have one more to go in like twenty days though, so I thought that I will update instead.

I'm glad all of you liked my spin on divorce, I wanted to bring it up and have it be discussed and that seemed more natural to me. Any and all suggestions are welcomed!

Checkout this one shot, it's called 'I want you (for better or for worse)' by oh-darcylewis and this makes me wishfully thinking that they continue because I really like it. So do go read it if you haven't already.

Alright, here you go.

Chapter 10

I had an emergency surgery for which I had to rush out of the house mid lunch, luckily Arizona was over and she helped me out. It's been a couple of days since the whole divorce talk but I'm glad we had it. Honestly, I wasn't sure where it came from but I was so frightened that that was what she wanted. That this time, she was leaving me, leaving all of us willingly this time. I didn't know she was so insecure about her body, I mean I did anticipate that she must have some trauma but I didn't expect it to be this. Arizona was always confident in her body, she didn't care much about her looks. She was always radiating with positivity even when I cribbed about gaining all the weight because of the pregnancy.

Anyway, I'm all that she told me about it. Otherwise it would have just eaten up alive.

I quickly unlocked the front door as I made my way in. It was late, like really late. Judging by the sound or well lack there of, everyone was off to bed. I made my way upstairs and saw that the bedroom was empty. That's strange, where was Arizona? I made my way down the hall and saw that the lights in my office were on.

I knocked on the door before opening it.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Well, this article about a fire anniversary caught my eye and I thought I could log on your computer to check it out? Did you know that a year ago there was a fire? At Seattle Grace?" Like an actual fire?"

"Yup, I'm aware."

"What are the chances of a freaking fire in the hospital? On one side, you are like a hospital is a safe place, people leave when they feel better but then on the other side, with the amount of oxygen tanks we keep, one spark in the wrong place and the whole floor can go kaboom!"

I nodded along. It was good to see her rant become the person who she was.

"And then I opened another article and then another article and then another one and look at that! " She pointed at the wall clock. "I spent three hours catching up with all the bad news that has happened in the past six years!"

I walked up to her as I looked at my laptop. Fuck! No, don't tell me-

"I swear I shut it off when I left," I whispered under my breath.

"You did." Arizona looked up at me from her seat. "Really Calliope?"

"It's a good password!" I defended myself.

"EatingAZout69? Why is it still that! What if the kids find out?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Come on! With all these rules about having an uppercase letter, a special case letter and a number, you know I had to get creative! And once I came up with that, it was too good to let it go. Besides, what are the chances they are able to crack that?"

"God, I hope none!" she smiled before shutting the laptop off. "How was your day?"

"No amputations on my watch!" I replied.

"That sounds like a damn good day," she yawned.

"Let's get you to bed?" I said as I gestured towards the door and placed my hand on her lower back.

This is something we have been doing a lot lately. A gentle touch here and there and seeing how she reacts. It's been slow but it's been good. We are making progress. She's making progress and that's what matters.

"Callie?" She called out to me nervously.

"Yeah."

"I need you to, can you close your eyes?"

That was strange? What was she hiding from me? Did she hurt herself? Is she okay?

"Why?"

"Please?"

"Okay," I closed my eyes and waited and then, there it was. A soft peck on my lips. It started out as a whisper. I barely felt it. I kissed her back and let her guide me on a pace she wanted, that she needed. I felt her wrapping her arms around my waist pulling me close. God I have missed this, I support her back with one hand while I held her cheek with the other.

And soon, it was over as she pulled away.

"You can open your eyes now," she said. Arizona looked unsure, she looked doubtful. "Was that okay?"

"It was perfect." That brought a smile onto her face. God, how I missed that smile. "Not that I'm not glad you did that, I'm just curious what brought it on?"

She took my hands in hers as she fell onto my fingertips. "I read so much bad news today that I thought we needed something good."

Suddenly, a thought entered my mind. Oh no not now, I don't want to bring it up now.

"Calliope, what's wrong?"

"Don't take this the wrong way. But umm have you thought about moving back in?" I asked.

"I have. I-umm the therapist told me that it would help, but I wanted to be sure of myself first. That I was actually ready because I don't want to move in and then scare you or scare the kids and move out."

I pulled her closer to me. "I'm not afraid baby/"

"But I am. The nightmares, they are- they are getting better but they are still there."

She did tell me about the nightmares. She didn't describe them but she did tell me that they were bad. I know she didn't need words, she needed to be held, to be understood and heard. So that is what I did.

"I promised myself if I go one week without an episode, I would move in."

"Okay. and?"

She sighed. "Two more days."

"Two more days and you move in?" I reiterated just to be sure that I actually heard it.

"Two more nightmare-less days and I'll move in!"

I leaned over and quickly kissed her on her lips. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" but I was cut off as Arizona kissed me.

"Two more days!" I yelled.

A/N: Yes, I know it was a smaller update but I felt like this was a good place to stop. What did you think? Their first kiss in six years? What did you think about the password? I think the next chapter will be about sexy times… I'm not sure about how to go about it. Or if it's still too soon for them, but I think they are ready, don't you?

Please read and review! It helps me know if you guys like the direction I have chosen.
