CHAPTER 15

THURSDAY

It was early morning when Arizona opened her eyes, she saw Alex still sleeping in the chair across, both of them deciding to spend the night with the baby boy to make sure he was stable. Arizona stretched her arms up and yawned. She looked at the monitor and checked the boy's vitals, everything was normal. She took her phone and opened Callie's message.

~ Okay, seriously tomorrow we are having dinner together, I'll take personal time if I have to ;-). ~

Arizona smiled and started typing a reply, ~ I agree, I'm sorry I had to cancel, Alex and I both stayed the night, afraid that something would go wrong again. We stabilized him and hopefully the surgery can go as planned today. I can't wait to see you tonight… :-) ~ she hit send and stood up. She needed coffee, and she knew Alex would definitely need one as well.

An hour later they were discussing the approach for the surgery when Boswell appeared.

"You ordered new tests?" Arizona asked.

"Yeah, I like to get more scans before deciding on the best approach," she commented eyeing Arizona from head to toe, not even trying to hide what she was insinuating.

Arizona scoffed and shook her head. How many times do I have to say no?, she thought and turned to Alex.

"Page me when you know more, I'll go check on Maya," Arizona said deciding she didn't feel like hanging around this woman any more than needed.

"Sure thing," Alex said, his head buried in the chart, oblivious to what had just gone on next to him.

Arizona kept herself busy the rest of the morning and during lunchtime she walked into the cafeteria and was immediately faced with the sight of the guest doctor giggling with Callie near the window. She watched as Lauren caught a lock of Callie's hair and twirled it between her fingers. Callie raised her eyebrows in surprise and politely excused herself brushing her hand off. She walked over to a free seat next to Cristina. Lauren took an apple and headed out of the cafeteria and Arizona immediately strode forward determined to give her a piece of her mind.

"Hey, you, Dr. Bornell!" Arizona called.

Lauren turned around, "Boswell," she corrected looking at Arizona with intrigue.

"Okay, Boswell, whatever! She's married, so back off!" Arizona hissed.

"Huh?" Lauren looked at her puzzled.

"The hot ortho goddess. She's married! To me! So stop whatever the hell you think you are doing!"

Lauren chuckled, "I can do whatever the hell I want, and if your wife wants some entertainment then how about you ask yourself why she is looking elsewhere."

"She's not looking elsewhere!" Arizona fumed as her body moved forward.

"What the hell is going on over there?" Meredith asked coming closer to where Callie and Cristina were sitting her eyes directed at Arizona confronting the guest doctor.

Callie was looking at them too, her mouth opened in disbelief.

"I better get Arizona out of here," Callie said and got up quickly.

Arizona was about to push Boswell away when she felt an arm wrap around her waist.

"Hey, why don't we go outside and have lunch there," Callie said cheerfully.

Arizona was about to protest but Callie had already turned her around and nudged her towards the exit.

"Excuse us," she casually said to Boswell and pushed Arizona a few steps before taking her hand and leading them out of the cafeteria. Callie guided them to the closest on-call room and once inside she spoke.

"Okay, number one what the hell was that? And number two, you looked so h…" she didn't get a chance to finish her sentence as Arizona's lips crashed against her own, her tongue pushing inside filled with want mixed with anger, taking Callie's breath away as her body quickly caught on and a wave of desire ran through it. Callie moaned loudly and pushed Arizona against the door, her hands finding their way inside Arizona's top to feel the naked skin underneath her fingers. Arizona's hand pushed Callie's coat down and she was already pulling Callie's top out of the way when she felt two strong hands catch her own. Arizona pulled away breathing heavily and met Callie's eyes.

Callie leaned her head against Arizona's forehead and whispered in between heavy breaths.

"We are going too fast…"

Arizona tried to calm her own breathing down as she battled to control the fire that was rushing through her body.

"Arizona, what happened?" Callie asked trying to understand what was going on in Arizona's head.

Arizona leaned her head against the door. She exhaled heavily and closed her eyes.

"I don't want to lose you…" she whispered.

"I am not going anywhere…" Callie said softly.

"Yet…" Arizona whispered and looked at Callie, "But when there's no intimacy in marriage people start looking elsewhere."

Callie sighed and led Arizona to sit on the bed with her.

"Do you really think having sex with some random person would make me feel better?" Callie asked.

"I don't know, it might…" Arizona said looking down.

"Arizona… you had a trauma, you need time to heal and to figure your life out but you are still here, and yes it is a bit hard because you are not with us physically every day but I cannot stop hoping that you will wake up one day and tell me you remember everything about me and about us and about Sofia…"

"Yesterday you said you were a little bit in love with her…" Arizona whispered.

"I meant professionally, I just found the whole procedure fascinating, I'm sorry I said that…"

Arizona simply nodded her head lost in thoughts as a few moments of silence filled the room.

"Calliope…" Arizona whispered.

"Hmm?" Callie asked, lightly caressing Arizona's hand.

"I need to tell you something…"

"Okay…" Callie said in low voice.

Arizona turned her head and looked into Callie's eyes holding her gaze for a few seconds, "I think I'm falling in love with you…" she finally whispered.

Callie's heart skipped a bit, "You… are?" she barely managed to ask.

Arizona nodded her head, "I think about you all the time, I go to bed thinking about you and I wake up thinking about you again. When I open my eyes in the morning you and Sofia are the first ones on my mind, I wonder what you are having for breakfast, and if Sofia is giggling every morning like she's always done during the time when I was there, and when I'm at work, all day I hope I'm going to run into you at the hospital and see your beautiful smile…, and then in my room I feel so lonely because you are not there with me… I can't stop thinking about you… and Sofia…" she paused as her eyes dropped to focus on her own hands. "Can we…" she started but hesitated a bit.

"Can we what?" Callie spoke with a barely audible whisper.

Arizona lifted her head and looked at Callie "Can we think of some kind of an arrangement to share the apartment? It probably sounds crazy to you but I want to be close to you and I want to be in Sofia's life, I don't want to miss any more breakfasts or bath times, or first words. Mark Sloan gets to enjoy all that, and I understand that he is Sofia's father but I feel like he is stealing my family... I should be the one sharing meals with you, I should be the one putting Sofia to bed, and inviting Mark over for breakfast…"

Callie smiled, "Okay," she whispered.

"… and I promise I'm not jealous of him anymore and I won't fight with him, I just want to be around Sofia more, and I want to be with you more and…" Callie suddenly pressed her lips against Arizona's lips to stop her from talking.

"I said okay," she informed with a smile as she brushed her thumb over Arizona's right cheek.

"Oh… you did?"

"I did," Callie confirmed and Arizona sighed with relief.

"Thank you…" she whispered and smiled broadly, her dimples immediately doing their spell over Callie who leaned forward and caught Arizona's lips again. Arizona wrapped her hands around Callie's neck and pulled her closer as she moaned slightly, making Callie fight the fire that quickly got ignited again. But soon Callie forced herself to break the kiss as her thoughts convinced her that it was better not to rush everything so she distanced her body and smiled.

"Now… I'm still hungry…, is it safe for us to go and have lunch or are you gonna go after that guest doctor again?" she teased.

Arizona wrinkled her nose, "I don't like her, she flirted with me, and then she flirted with you, I saw her play with your hair..."

"Well what you didn't hear was me telling her she was way out of line when I pushed her hand away."

"If she comes near you again, I swear I will punch her!" Arizona said, her blood immediately starting to boil again.

Callie laughed out loud and stood up pulling Arizona to her feet as well. "Come on Xena, let's get some food," she joked making Arizona laugh as well.

The surgery went well. Alex and Arizona assisted while Boswell performed the procedure in front of the fully packed gallery. Arizona avoided the guest doctor the rest of the day and after work she went home to pack her things up. She got everything ready, took a shower and then sat down on the bed waiting for Callie and Sofia to come pick her up. She sensed something was off and suddenly opened her bag again, she spent a few minutes taking some things out, looking for something and when she finally found the small box she placed it on the table and returned the things inside the bag. She sat back on the bed and opened the box. She took the item between her fingers and looked at it for a few seconds. She smiled and placed the item on her finger. "Now I am ready," she said out loud as her eyes reflected the glow that decorated her ring finger.

When they put Arizona's things into the trunk, Sofia insisted Arizona join her in the back of the car so Arizona climbed next to their daughter which made Callie extra happy the whole drive back home because she was getting a nice view of the pretty blonde head in the rear view mirror. She smiled catching Arizona's broad grin while playing with Sofia. When Callie parked the car Arizona placed her left hand on the corner of Callie's seat as she had to turn around to unfasten Sofia's seat belt and Callie caught the ring glistening on Arizona's finger. Callie turned around in surprise, her eyes glued to Arizona's hand.

Arizona was already busy struggling with an impatient Sofia trying to get out of the car over her lap.

"Hold on sweetheart, mommy will take you out," she said through laughter and looked up. Her eyes met Callie's eyes which were now displaying a whole range of emotions that Arizona did not expect.

"What?" Arizona whispered as she reminded herself to take a breath.

Callie looked at Arizona's left hand and whispered back "You put your ring back on…"

"Oh," Arizona looked at her own hand as well, "Yeah, I… I felt something was missing without it…" she explained and smiled as Sofia squirmed in her arms.

"Go out!" Sofia demanded as she pushed her body towards the door again.

Arizona laughed out loud, "You better open the door and let us out," she said as she struggled to hold Sofia put.

"Oh, right, I completely forgot you can't open the back door from the inside," Callie exclaimed and immediately got out. She opened the door and took Sofia into her arms so Arizona could also get out of the car.

"Here, take her and I'll get your bag," Callie instructed.

"I'll tell you what I already told Alex when he came to my room today - I can carry my own bag!" Arizona protested.

Callie laughed, "And I'll reply exactly what he did - A little over a month ago you were still in a coma so I'll take care of the bag."

Arizona sighed and took Sofia into her arms, "There's no arguing with those two huh baby girl?" she said with a smile.

"Argwin," Sofia attempted to pronounce the word.

"Yeah, no arguing, we're not going to do that... Let's go inside, are you hungry?"

"No," Sofia said, "Play mama."

"You can play with mama while mommy makes some food," Callie said as she leaned forward and gave Sofia a kiss, her hair grazing over Arizona's cheek causing her heart to skip a beat as she felt the warmth of Callie's body so close to her.

Callie opened the door and Arizona placed Sofia on the floor. She immediately started running up and down the living room giggling happily.

Callie laughed and shook her head, "She will either be too excited to go to bed or she will wear herself out and fall asleep in an instant," she commented as she took some water.

"Then we better let her run a bit more just to make sure she falls asleep sooner," Arizona commented and Callie almost choked on the water and started coughing loudly.

"Are you okay?" Arizona asked not even realizing the double meaning behind her words.

"No, yeah, I'm fine," Callie cleared her throat and opened the fridge. "I'll fix some dinner, you enjoy your time with her."

"Okay," Arizona said and turned to Sofia, "Come here you little munchkin," Arizona said as she walked towards Sofia who now started quickly walking away.

"Catch mama," she said as she giggled hurrying to the other side of the living room.

Arizona laughed out loud, "Oh, so this is why the table is out of the way, so you can run around," Arizona commented as she changed direction to get closer to Sofia.

"Oh yeah, lately there's been no way of preventing her from trying to run, so I figured it was better to just make some space for her to do it freely."

"Aha!" Arizona exclaimed as she caught Sofia who screamed with joy as she tried to wiggle her way out of Arizona's embrace.

Arizona lifted her up and walked over to the couch, then held her small body on her palms face down swinging her towards the sofa and counting.

"One… two… three!" she exclaimed and threw Sofia gently onto the soft surface.

Sofia giggled loudly and let out squeaks of joy and excitement. She quickly slid her body down the couch.

"Again," she said as she ran back to Arizona.

Arizona laughed out loud, "You like this game?"

"Yes, again!" Sofia demanded as she held her arms towards Arizona.

Arizona lifted her up and repeated the whole process as Sofia's screams of joy filled the apartment.

"Careful Arizona, you're gonna make yourself tired as well, I don't want you falling asleep on me at 9 p.m." Callie teased and now it was Arizona's turn to start coughing as her sudden quick inhale got caught in her throat. A smile appeared in the corners of Callie's mouth but she didn't expect Arizona's quick recovery and she almost dropped the wooden spoon she was stirring the food with when she heard Arizona's voice.

"Well, you'll just have to keep me entertained then," Arizona said as Sofia came for another round and Arizona had to devote her whole attention to their daughter thus missing the reaction of Callie's body who had to close her eyes and take a deep breath. This is a dangerous game I am playing, she thought and kept her eyes on the pot knowing that any glance at Arizona and she would have difficulty controlling her own reaction to her alluring giggles that were now filling the apartment together with Sofia's. Callie shook her head and let out a long exhale, Slow down, she told herself in her head and did her best to focus her attention on the cooking.

After dinner Arizona insisted to take care of the dishes even though Callie protested but Arizona was determined to do something.

"I am not recovering anymore, if I can do a six-hour shift, I can deal with the dishes for half an hour," she stated resolutely and Callie gave up.

"Okay, okay," she said as she turned to Sofia, "We don't want to argue with mama right," she whispered.

"Argwe," Sofia mumbled and Callie smiled.

"Argue," Callie repeated the word slowly but Sofia ignored it this time as her attention fell to the toy that was lying on the sofa.

"It's better that you don't learn that word yet anyway," Callie joked and gave the toy to Sofia as she continued to play with their daughter catching glimpses of Arizona at the kitchen sink, still trying to convince herself that she wasn't dreaming, that Arizona was really there, in their kitchen, wanting to be there, with her and Sofia, and she couldn't stop her heart from beating just a little bit faster as happiness overwhelmed her body.

Half an hour later they took Sofia into the bathroom and gave her a bath together. A broad smile covered Callie's face as she watched Arizona be equally excited about the bath as Sofia, giggling with her as those cute dimples decorated her face. Callie wanted to freeze this moment of happiness. This evening, this whole day was all she ever wanted and she was getting it all back and she wanted to keep it like this forever.

"Okay, baby girl, that's enough, let's get you into your pajamas," Callie heard Arizona say and brought herself out of the haze. She smiled and handed Arizona the towel.

A few minutes later Sofia was all ready to get to bed and Callie gave her a kiss and caressed her cheek.

"Why don't you put her to bed and I'll take a quick shower," she suggested and Arizona smiled.

"Thank you, I'd love that," she replied as she took Sofia's hand and helped her wave at Callie.

"Say goodnight mommy."

"Goodnight mommy," Sofia said as she leaned her head on Arizona's shoulder making Arizona's heart melt with bliss.

Callie watched happiness radiate from Arizona's eyes as her left hand caressed Sofia's back and Callie's eyes caught the ring glistening on Arizona's finger again. She smiled as she watched Arizona leave the bathroom with Sofia's hands tightly wrapped around Arizona's neck.

Twenty minutes later Arizona came out of Sofia's room just as Callie appeared at the door of the bedroom, her hair carelessly put up with a half-claw clip as loose strays fell down touching her neck, grey top falling over her left shoulder revealing lack of bra presence over her breasts and Arizona had to bite her lower lip as she felt her stomach react to the scene before her.

"I need some wine, would you like some?" Callie offered.

"No, thanks, I'm fine." Arizona said as she positioned herself on the other side of the counter, her eyes glued to Callie, unable to stop them from travelling along Callie's body imagining her own fingers trailing over the caramel skin.

Callie felt Arizona's gaze and knew it was making her own breath become shallower.

"I'll sleep on the sofa tonight and tomorrow we can move Sofia to the bedroom and you can take her room," Callie explained without lifting her head up and Arizona noticed she was nervous and battling the desire rising up in her body.

Arizona observed Callie taking a sip of her wine and she rounded the counter and slowly walked over to her.

She took the glass from Callie's hand and put it on the counter and then pushed her right hand into Callie's hair and pulled her in as she pressed her lips hungrily against Callie's mouth, her tongue immediately inviting Callie's to fulfill the need for the breathtaking touch and when she felt Callie's wet tongue brush against her own, Arizona felt her knees go weak. Callie moaned softly and felt Arizona's other hand take her right one and wrap it around her own waist and Callie let her left hand follow suit as she squeezed Arizona's hips and pulled her close.

Arizona's left hand wandered upwards, the thought of Callie's breasts uncovered by garment invading her mind, and when her fingers felt Callie's right breast through the soft fabric she moaned loudly and brushed her thumb over the taut nipple not waiting another second to push her hand inside the top, hungry to feel the soft tissue under her fingers. When she wrapped her hand around Callie's breast she squeezed it hard, letting out a loud moan of satisfaction at the touch and their kiss became more heated as their tongues danced together making them both start gasping for air. Arizona placed both of her hands on Callie's face and pushed her head back gently so she could look into her eyes.

"I want to make love to you, Calliope," she said in low voice as her eyes reflected the desire that was rushing through her body and it was enough for Callie to tear down all the walls of caution and she immediately wrapped her lips around Arizona's again as she pushed her towards the bedroom.

Arizona's hands trailed down Callie's body and within seconds she was already pushing her top out of the way, hungrily letting her fingers roam along Callie's naked skin. Other items of clothing soon followed as they both longed for a more intimate skin to skin connection.

Arizona felt her naked back touch the mattress and smiled when she felt Callie on top of her, she wrapped her arms tightly around Callie's shoulders and then her hands travelled down Callie's back pulling her closer whenever she touched a new part of her body. She managed to squeeze Callie's buttocks but then she felt her escape the touch of her hands as Callie's body moved lower and soon Arizona felt Callie's mouth on her left nipple. She arched her back and moaned with pleasure. She grabbed Callie's head and pulled her up, hungrily attacking her lips again as her right hand went in search of Callie's breast and she gasped when her fingers wrapped around it. She felt the vibration of Callie's voice inside her throat and she pushed her pelvis against Callie's body causing them both to moan at the contact. Callie rolled her hips making their centers rub against one another and felt the heat quickly start radiating from them both and Callie couldn't wait any longer. Her hand went down Arizona's body and when Arizona felt Callie's fingers brush against her center a loud moan escaped her lips. When Callie's fingers started roaming around her wet folds she wrapped her leg around Callie's hips and pushed herself harder upwards as her own right hand went down longing to feel the same blissful parts of Callie's body, and when her fingers came in contact with Callie's folds, loud moans and heavy breaths filled the room. Arizona managed to do a few strokes before she felt Callie's fingers inside her and her mind got lost in the sensation.

"Oh, God…" she moaned as Callie's fingers started moving and Arizona's hands fell to the sheet and took hold of the cold fabric. A few moments later, Arizona tried to place her hand back inside Callie's folds but Callie touched a sensitive spot that made Arizona's body go up and her head fall back as her fingers dug into Callie's thigh instead.

"You can do that later," Callie whispered under heavy breath as she kept on moving her hand, enjoying the reaction of Arizona's body underneath her.

"Ohhh… you feel… mmmm…. so good inside me, Calliope," Arizona spoke in between moans as she wrapped her arms tightly around Callie, needing her as close to her as possible.

When Callie curled her fingers and touched the hidden bud inside Arizona's walls she wrapped her lips against Arizona's mouth knowing it would incite a scream to leave Arizona's throat. Callie moaned at the vibration she felt in her throat as new fire engulfed her body and her fingers started rubbing against the little nub causing their moans to become louder, and when Callie pressed the top of her palm against Arizona's clit and made a few circles, Arizona's body exploded in shivers underneath her as the orgasmic wave overwhelmed her.

Arizona buried her nails into Callie's skin as she lost control of her body, she bit Callie's shoulder as the tensity kept on holding her and she felt another wave coming as Callie continued to circle her clit.

"Fuck!" she moaned and soon screamed again as another orgasm hit her body, her body molding into Callie's body as it shook underneath her touch. Callie was breathing heavily on top of her but made sure to lick sensitive parts of Arizona's neck she knew would send her body to new heights, and when Callie's fingers finally stopped moving, Arizona collapsed on the bed pulling Callie on top of her and she smiled with a giggle as their heavy breaths met each other in the space between them.

"God… that was amazing… you knew all the right buttons to push…"

Callie laughed softly as she slipped her fingers out and caressed Arizona's shoulder. "I've been with you for three years, of course I know which buttons to push…" she said as she kissed Arizona hungrily again.

Arizona wrapped her arms around Callie's back again and pushed her to the side managing to flip her over as her hand wrapped inside Callie's hair. She placed herself on top and let her fingers roam down to soon squeeze Callie's left breast.

Callie arched her back and whispered, "Maybe we should take a break…"

"I don't need to take a break…" Arizona mumbled as her lips travelled down Callie's neck. She reached the scar in the middle of her chest and brushed her fingers lightly over before placing a few kisses on it and then took each of Callie's nipples into her mouth, sucking on the perked parts that were so invitingly displayed in front of her before letting the tip of her tongue roll over one and then the other nipple. She then continued lower down Callie's body, "I want to taste you…" she mumbled in a voice filled with desire. When she reached Callie's navel she suddenly stopped and lifted her head, "Is that okay?" she asked.

Callie smiled and simply nodded, unable to speak, completely lost in the scene and the sensation of Arizona's tongue travelling over her skin even though her head was trying to go a million miles an hour. It's so sweet that she is checking but my Arizona would already know, an analyzing thought suddenly invaded her mind but soon she had to forget about it as she felt Arizona's lips around her center.

"Joder!" she voiced in Spanish as her pelvis pushed up against Arizona's mouth. Arizona grabbed Callie's left buttock with her right hand and squeezed it hard pushing Callie's center closer to her mouth and Callie's body trembled in return while her mind immediately went to the first night they spent together remembering how this move caused the same reaction, and she smiled, Arizona is still the same person, she just needs to get to know my body again, she thought but when she felt Arizona's fingers inside, her mind finally had to let go and allow the bodily pleasure to take over. And within seconds, Arizona's breath on her skin and her fingers rubbing against her inside walls was the only thing that existed as the touch of Arizona's tongue on her swollen bud caused a loud moan to escape her mouth,

"Fuck, Arizona!" she screamed and placed her own arm over her mouth to muffle any new sounds. Arizona moaned as well, hearing Callie's heavy breaths and moans ignited a fire within her and the way Callie's body was reacting to her touch sent her mind and her body into a spin, and she knew she was already addicted to this woman, she was addicted to her body and her touch and all she wanted was to be one with her and do this over and over and over again.

When Arizona sucked in Callie's clit and curled her fingers inside making a few circles over the pea shaped bundle she found, a loud "Ooooooh God…" left Callie's lips before her body broke into shivers as she lost all control and Arizona smiled feeling and hearing the pleasure that she was causing. She groaned and sped up her rhythm wanting to feel more of Callie's body moving underneath her, hear more of that incredible voice that made her own body react in ways she never thought possible.

"Mmmm…. ahhh… fuuuck..." another scream came as a new wave of trembles took over Callie's thighs and her hips lifted off the bed as she felt Arizona's fingers dig into her buttocks to hold her still. Callie arched her back as her hips tried to move more and she had to grab the board of the bed to steady herself. When only sporadic shocks started coursing through her body she slumped onto the bed and let out a sharp exhale while Arizona continued teasing her clit lightly, but Callie grabbed Arizona's head and pushed it away gently.

"Enough…" she whispered with a giggle, "come here…" she called and Arizona moved back up along Callie's body and caught Callie's mouth again, suddenly realizing how much she had missed the touch of her soft lips. She pushed herself up and looked into Callie's eyes wanting her to see all the emotions that were rushing through her body as their heavy breaths were the only sound filling the space around them.

"What?" Callie whispered as she got lost in Arizona's gaze.

"I love you," Arizona whispered softly her eyes never leaving the connection with Callie's eyes.

Callie swallowed the lump that formed in her throat as her eyes got misty. She placed her hand on Arizona's cheek.

"Please say it again…" she whispered as if to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Arizona smiled and trailed her fingers over Callie's lips.

"Calliope Torres… I am in love with you," she repeated as she leaned forward and let her lips confirm her words.

Callie wrapped her fingers into Arizona's hair as she felt her heart start beating with excitement. She took Arizona's head in her hands and pushed it up gently. She spent a few seconds looking into Arizona's eyes.

"I love you too…" she whispered and felt a single tear roll from the corner of her left eye.

Arizona smiled and leaned down to kiss the tear away and then caught Callie's lips again making them both get lost in each other's touch.

Two hours later, Callie was lying on her back, looking at the ceiling. Arizona was fast asleep, her right arm was lying casually over Callie's abdomen and Callie listened to her even breaths while her mind played the scenes of the night over and over as they mixed with the memories from before. She turned her head to look at Arizona and gently moved a stray of blond hair that was covering her face. She smiled softly and lifted Arizona's arm and slowly slid off the bed. She turned around to check if Arizona was still asleep and when Arizona didn't move she quietly tiptoed out of the room.

She went into the kitchen and took her glass of wine again, she sat down at the table and observed Arizona sleeping in bed. She took a sip of wine as she felt her eyes get misty. She was happy, a part of her was so very happy… but another part… another part missed Arizona, her Arizona, the Arizona who remembered everything about them. They made love and it was wonderful and amazing but it was different, it felt different, and she couldn't stop bolts of sadness cloud the happiness she felt, she couldn't help miss that look in Arizona's eyes, the familiar look, the eyes that shared their whole history in one gaze, the touch that held their every moment, the touch that meant everything…

Arizona fell in love with her again, nobody has ever loved her this way, very few people have truly been in love with her and Arizona has done it twice…, A part of my heart is so happy it feels like it will explode, but another part just wants my Arizona back, am I supposed to fall in love with this new version of her as well? How can I let that happen without betraying my Arizona, I haven't forgotten about her…, I don't want to forget about her… but what if she never comes back fully…? Will I just keep on missing her…?, thoughts ran through Callie's head as she sighed heavily.

"Why can't everything just go back to normal?" she whispered and took another sip of her wine.

Suddenly she heard Sofia call from her room and she put the glass down and went to the bedroom to take her robe and then walked quietly over to Sofia's room.

Sofia was standing in her crib when Callie came inside.

"Hey, sweetheart, what are you doing up?"

"Mommy…, water," Sofia said and held out her little arms. Callie lifted her up and took her bottle of water.

She sat down into the rocking chair and gently rocked it while Sofia drank her water. Callie caressed Sofia's hair as she pressed her cheek against Sofia's head inhaling the lovely baby smell. When Sofia gave her the bottle back she placed it on the table and began humming a lullaby to Sofia who soon started relaxing in her mommy's arms. Callie continued rocking the chair and looked lovingly at their daughter whose eyes started to close again. After a few minutes she heard Sofia's breathing even out as her body sank into her arms. She smiled softly and caressed Sofia's hand that she was still holding between her fingers. She tucked a stray hair behind Sofia's ear and got up. When she gently placed Sofia back into her crib, she looked at her for a few more minutes and then whispered, "Everything will be okay, right Sofia?" she smiled at their daughter and silently left the room.

She went back to the bedroom and looked at Arizona for a few more seconds, she smiled softly as she again noticed the ring shining on Arizona's hand. She took off her robe and slid back into bed. She turned on her side and wrapped her arm around Arizona's waist. Arizona stirred and turned to Callie.

"I've missed you…" she mumbled not opening her eyes.

"I just went to check on Sofia," Callie whispered as she caressed Arizona's side.

"Is she okay?" Arizona asked.

"Yes, she's fine, go back to sleep," Callie answered as she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on Arizona's lips.

Arizona smiled, "Okay," she whispered and tucked her head into Callie's neck as she wrapped her arm around Callie's body.

Callie smiled and closed her eyes. Everything will be okay, she repeated in her head as she drifted off to sleep.

A/N – To the guest reviewer from chapter 10 who wanted nurses flirting with Callie making Arizona jealous, I hope you like my original plan as well ;-). All your suggestions were so close to what I had planned but I couldn't say anything back then because I would have spoiled it for everyone ;-).

I hope you all liked this chapter, I think this is my favorite so far :-).
