A/N

Hi everyone. So, I promised you guys regular updates, and here I am. But I have one thing to say, or better yet to write first. I am here for the people that want to read my story. I'm not forcing you to read it. I'm not even asking you to read it. It's just here for the people who are interested. If not. Just don't read it. It's not that hard. I'm not misleading you in any way. The pairing is clearly stated everywhere. The people tagged are not up for discussion. I even put a warning in the summary about the pairing, and again at the beginning of chapter one.

And don't get me started on the reviews guests are leaving behind that have like zero respect for me or my story whatsoever.

It's pretty easy as a guest to leave a review when the writer can't respond to you directly huh? Pretty safe from behind that screen? So this is me reacting to those guests for once, and one time only. Because frankly I don't want to give you the time of day.

I took the time to write a story that's been in my head for a while. I'm not asking you to get behind my story. It's a story of fiction that has been playing in my head. Those are my words, my thoughts. I'm not asking you to attack something that is a product from my imagination, for which I've taken the time to put it to paper and share it with the world.

And don't even get me started on the thought that Addison would never fall for the ex of her best friend. Newsflash: she did. Sam Bennett, remember? And poor Addison falling for the female version of Mark Sloan. Come on, we all know that Arizona's better than that. And we all know that Addison isn't exactly a saint in the love department either.

Also a few guests pointed out that 'us lesbians' should stop turning straight hot people gay. For one: I'm not a lesbian. If you want to identify me as a lesbian because I'm writing a lesbian story, perfectly fine with me. I love lesbians. I love women. I love a lot of things.

But: you don't know me. If anything I would identify as... well actually, I don't even want to identify myself as something. Let's just leave it at I love women, it's an understatement really, and frankly I don't really care who loves who. And I could care even less about labelling it. The world has enough labels as it is. And: sexuality is fluid. And people who don't think so, are close minded. In my opinion, so don't start attacking me over that one.

For the people who did follow the story because you'd like to see where I'm taking this. YAYY! THANK YOU FOR BEING OUT THERE! And have fun reading chapter two :)

Previously in chapter one

"I am. I'm dropping off Henry with Callie in an hour and then I'm going in. What time are you supposed to be there?"

"In two hours. Can I join you? That way I can stroll around a bit and get to know the place."

"Of course. Then you get to see Sofia shortly when I drop him off."

"Pefect."

You're not really looking forward to see Penny. You hope your face doesn't show. Focus on the good. Seeing Henry and Sofia interact for the first time. Focus on that.

Chapter two

Arizona's POV

This is where you are supposed to be. Bit by bit life in New York gives you hints that brings you the idea that this is in fact where you are supposed to be.

You like the house you're currently living in.

You like Henry.

You like Sofia with Henry.

You like being close to Sofia. That kind of goes without saying. And despite everything that happened with Callie, you like the fact that Sofia is now again close to both her parents. Because this gap on the globe was never your choice, and not at all Sofia's choice to be far away from one of her moms.

You get that Callie and Addison were able to move to New York, because the hospital is top notch. It won't take much to get used to working here.

It also helps that you and Addison work in a field that overlaps and therefore you get to work with at least one person that you know. It was one of your fears. You worked for years in a hospital where everyone knew who's who. And a lot of those people were actually your friends. People you also wanted to see in your free time.

It's hard to go from there to a place where you almost don't know anyone. To a city where you almost don't know anyone. Without Carina. Without the amazing sex with Carina. Ugh.

You need to focus on the good.

You're with your daughter. You're making your daughter happy by giving her both her moms.

Addison's POV

You just got home from work when your door bell rings. You're surprised to find Callie at the other end, because you're supposed to get Henry yourself in an hour. But there they are. Callie's got a certain look on her face that tells you she's here for a reason other then just bringing Henry by.

You give her a quick kiss on the cheek and tell Henry to bring his stuff to his room before he starts playing there.

She walks to your fridge and gets two beers out of them. If it's this type of night you decide to don't say anything and just go with it. She probably needs you to.

"So Arizona just called." She tells you.

"Is Sofia okay, is everything okay?" You feel yourself jump to that conclusion directly because your friend is here with a serious face telling you that her ex just called her and their daughter moved back to Seattle just weeks before.

"Yes, nothing like that. Sofia is fine. Physically at least."

"What do you mean?"

"Arizona called because Sofia is not happy in Seattle. She's happy to see Arizona again, but it's the same situation as here. Here she wasn't happy not seeing Arizona. In Seattle she's not happy by not seeing me, and everything she's gotten used to living here. She misses New York and tried to steal money to get a plane ticket to New York."

You laugh. Because it's kind of funny to imagine a kid going to that kind of trouble to get to New York. But it's sad really. All this moving around was never Sofia's choice, and she's actually the only one who has to deal with it without having a say in it.

"So now what?"

"She's moving here."

"Sofia's moving here again? She just got there. Call, she had to get used to New York also when she first got here. She just has to get used to Seattle again."

Before you ramble on Callie stops you.

"Arizona. Arizona is moving here, with Sofia."

You're stunned really. You don't really know how to the describe what you're feeling right now. Let alone what Callie is feeling.

"Wow, I didn't see that one coming."

You love your friend. You do. You're so happy you have made the choice to move to New York and have built a life here with Callie, Sofia, Henry and even Penny.

But the way things happened up until the move to New York… You don't really talk about it with Callie. She knows that she didn't have your vote in the way she handled things.

You were in awe of Arizona for letting Sofia move to New York still, after everything that happened. After everything Callie set in motion. You wouldn't have blamed her if she didn't. She didn't have to let Sofia go anywhere with Callie, and at that point Callie had no right. She had herself to blame.

"Can she live with you?"

"Uhh, what?" You didn't see that one coming either.

"Sorry, I'm a little bit confused. I just didn't expect this. But she wants to get to New York asap and after everything that happened between us. I want to support her. I owe her at least that much."

"She's going to move to a city where she doesn't know anyone. Because I moved to New York for Penny. After everything I did to her. She's still doing everything in her power to make Sofia happy. And I need to start doing the same. But I don't have enough room in my apartment, and besides that I really don't think it's a good idea to have her living with me and Penny, don't you think?"

She's rambling by now. Of course it's not a good idea to have Arizona living with her and Penny. It's the last thing Arizona needs. You have enough room. You get why Callie's here. And in your heart. You want to help the blonde woman too.

Between two kids and being surgeons. It needs a village. Arizona can be part of that village. She should be part of it. She's Sofia's mom.

"Fine," you tell Callie.

"What? Really?"

"Yes, fine. What did you expect Callie?"

"Uh, I uh expected it to be harder to convince you to take Arizona in."

"Well. Focus that on Arizona. I doubt that she'll be willing to move in with me that easily. She isn't the type that accepts help that easily, and most of all help from you."

"I know. But I kind of already convinced her."

"You convinced her not knowing that it would be alright with me?"

"Why do you think I'm so nervous? And I was desperate. I want her to get here asap with Sofia. And despite everything that I've done. I really want her to be happy. And you like her. You've always liked her."

"Well yeah." You don't know why you blush when Callie mentions this. You hope she doesn't notice.

A week later Arizona is waking up in your home and is about to meet Henry for the first time. Her smile when she sees him is about all that you could hope for. It's happy, wide and beaming. Her dimples are full on show. That's how you know her smile is for real. You're so proud of your kid for getting that kind of reaction out of her.

That evening Arizona is already more at ease in your home. Henry is off to sleep and you guys are on the couch again with a glass of red in front of you. Arizona is confident about her new job at the hospital. You can tell by the look on her face that she's already more relaxed than yesterday.

You catch yourself thinking it's nice to be home with someone that lives here. That isn't going anywhere. To just be here, even though you try to think about the fact that this arrangement is just temporary.

Having Arizona here with you feels nice.

Arizona's POV

You and Addison prepared a healthy meal for you guys and Henry together. There are so many new developments that the talks between you two flow smoothly and there are no uncomfortable silences yet.

Before you moved to New York you were afraid that living with Addison you'd feel like a total outsider. Like the bad guy. Addison is after all Callie's friend, and even though she likes you. It kind of feels like you are infiltrating their lives.

But it doesn't feel like that at all, even though you're still constantly aware of what you're saying and how you are acting. You suppose that's normal human behavior for someone that steps into a new life of people that already have their lives into place.

You guys don't really talk about Callie though. It's like apart from the practical stuff about Sofia and Henry, Callie is a forbidden topic. You don't want to get personal about her, and it seems that Addison doesn't want to talk about her either with you.

It's better for you guys to just not mention her as long as it's not necessary.

It helps that you work in the same field and there's enough to talk about there. It also helps that Addison looks the way she looks. And you're not trying to be blunt, or talking about the fact that she's gorgeous. That's a topic for another time. But the way she looks at you. It gives you the feeling that it's okay that you're here, living with her. That it's not just Callie meddling in both your lives to get what she wants.

Even though that is exactly what this is. Callie moved away for Penny, for her girlfriend. Despite considering the feelings of her daughter and her other mother. But enough is enough, and you're chasing your daughter to New York. Callie manages for you to live with her friend. It's not your first choice. It's not like that was Addison's choice. You're aware of that.

You imagined it to be the big elephant in the room. That you would both be there by Callie's doing. And you are both here by her doing, but it doesn't feel like it. And that makes you kind of happy.

Focus on the good. Trying to live in the present.
