Thanks for the reviews, the followers.I will try to publish chapter a day, to catch up with the french version, but translating is so long and so hard. Any way ,I'm gonna try

Guess : I get what you're saying but I think it's never, all black or all white. What I find interesting is to analyze the psychology of each of them and if they can overcome all of that. We are human not perfect !


Chapter 2: J.F.K. Airport N.Y

Callie came in the airport lounge more than an hour early, she would not have taken the risk of being stuck in traffic jams, and being late, then she left particularly early. She's so looking forward to seeing her daughter again. She terribly missed her and she wants an ideal reunion.

Basically, she is convinced that with the child it will be perfect. She is more anxious at the prospect of seeing Arizona again, she wonders in what state of mind she will find her. It looks her it will be legitimate that her ex-wife has kept at least some grudges. She had first ended their marriage, brutally, while in their therapist's office, her wife had just sent her the most beautiful confession of love that did not had never been made her. In reaction, she told her that she was suffocating by her side and that she felt like she was dying slowly. Then she got up and left the room without even looking back.

She remembered very precisely the violence of that moment, Arizona's vision, stoically, holding back tears, trying to take the hit with that dignity that characterizes her, it still resonated in her as immense pain. It was as if a voice breathed, that it had to be done, because sometimes love is not enough. My God she loved so much, this woman.

Then she met Pennie. Arizona had taken things well, Callie really felt that she was totally detached from their history, she had recovered perfectly from their breakup. From what was whispering in the hospital, she was accumulating conquests. She had returned to her old bachelor habits. Apparently many women were passing through the fetal surgeon's arm.

So it had to work with Pennie, she had to move on and get going with things, even if the price to pay, was to hide the seven last years of her life, her family, her greatest love story.

Callie had always been hyper protective with Arizona, even separated she always cared about her, she worried about her. Yet she took her to court for Sofia's custody. She let her lawyer use humiliating arguments, smearing her daughter's mother, the woman who had shared her life, the one she had loved so much. She felt shabby, she hated herself for it and she honestly thought Arizona had every reason to hate her too.

She thought of all these moments, when she heard a small voice that she could have recognized among a crowd of a thousand people

- Mama! Mama!

The little girl jumps into her arms plunging her head into her neck, she squeezes her, very hard as if to catch up with all the hugs that had missed her so much. Callie is in heaven a huge smile runs through her face.

Arizona had let their daughter going when she dropped her hand to run to Callie. She slows down in order to let space to mother and daughter, that moment belonged to them. She observes the scene from a distance, touched to see so much happiness in the black eyes of the two most important person in her life. New York was the right decision, it certainly wasn't going to be, so easy that she envisioned, but it was the right decision.

Callie having noticed the hesitation and perhaps even some discomfort of Arizona, approaches her ex-wife, an embarrassed smile on the face, visibly also plagued by a strong emotion. She tries to put on the floor the child who does' nt loosen her embrace, giving another kiss on her cheek, she asks her

- Let me say hello to Mommy, honey

Sofia reluctantly lets her mother going, and declares

- You really, really missed me Mama

- Me too my chip I missed you a lot

Callie responds while stroking the child's head and leaning towards Arizona to kiss her amicably. She whispers shyly:

- And you too

Arizona hardly conceals the trouble that these words give her, she sketches a slight smile. She normally masters the art to conceal, hide, lock what she feels. Arizona Robbins is not a person who indulges easily, but there, facing her, stands Callie Torres the woman who has always read in her, as in an open book. Taking a deep breath as she ponders.

" No it's really not going to be simple, but I have to STAY THE TRACK ON "!

With the luggage picked up to reach the car, Sofia settles between her two moms and gives them each one hand. Right this minute, she seems the happiest child on this earth.

The joy that emanates from the little girl, doesn't escape the two mothers who at the same time laid their eyes on their daughter. They exchange a tender smile, their thoughts bringing them back to this ordinary gesture, so many times shared,when they were still a family.

Arizona abruptly interrupts this moment, declaring with exaggerated excitement.

- Do you drop me off at my hotel first? Did you take care of my reservation? Is this a long way from your home?

- So um ... No, no and no

She frowns the questioning look, the brunette explains herself with this mischievous and crunchy look that Arizona knows so well. She looks like a child about to confess something she doubts she was right to do

- No I don't drop you off at your hotel, no I didn't take care of the reservation and no it's really not far from my home.

Arizona perplexed, still questioning her with the eye

- It's not far from my house because it's my home and there's no way you're going to the hotel while I have a guest room, which as the name suggests is designed to accommodate friends. It's ready for you.

- Callie it's very nice but I ... I don't think it's a good idea, that... It's a little weird, isn't it?

- But not at all! It's a great idea on the contrary, like almost all my ideas for that matter! Finally this is the best I've had in a long time.

Sofia raises the price

"Oh yes! Mommy please stay, it's going to be great! Say yes, please say yes!

Arizona not wanting to spoil the reunion and her daughter's happiness answers to the child

- Okay, okay I give up. Just until I find an apartment then!

Sofia savouring her victory lets blow up a : Yes! the gesture accompanying the word.

Callie gets closer to Arizona and mocking air blows her in a low voice

- I see that nothing has changed, you still can't refuse her anything punctuating the sentence with a wink

- Actually, I can see, you haven't changed either

Arizona answers with a fake smile, to Callie's eternal reproach for always being the "good cop parent"

Finding the dialogues on the ping-pong game mode that she used to exchange with her ex-wife when they had a disagreement, Callie takes the observation with humor.

- Oh thank you! Really I haven't aged a bit?

Both burst out laughing, they look at each other sharing the same feeling, as if time had stopped, that they were a few years earlier, in the carefree ness of their relationship, before the hell in which the crash had thrown them.
