"What's your problem? " Mark says to Arizona while watching her root through the trash.
"Oh, someone threw out the gift list, and now we don't know who got what, and people are gonna think of us as the type of people who write vague and impersonal thank-you notes." Arizona replies
"I'm not sure that's actually a type of people." Mark answers back, always having to have the last word.
"What's going on?" Callie ask as she enters the room. "Arizona lost the gift list." Mark says pointing to Arizona. Arizona sighs "Yes, Mark. I lost the list. I ... I ... I suck at this. Congratulations. You're a better woman than I am."
"Hey, it's okay. It's okay. It's not a big deal. Mark, can you give us a minute?" Callie asks "She lost the gift list, not me." Mark says as he is walking out. "So ... there is one more gift left to open." Callie hands an envelope to Arizona who looks sheepish "Oh, I ... I didn't get you anything." "You got me a shower. Open it." Callie says. "It's a B&B a few hours away. We leave in the morning. " Arizona smiled. This was going to be great spending a whole weekend away with her girlfriend, no interruptions, no pages, no Mark. It's not that she hated him, but she always felt like the third wheel whenever the three of them were together and she knew it would only be worse once the baby came, not that she was blaming the baby because she wasn't. She was so excited about that. Ever since she saw the baby's heartbeat, she was looking forward to motherhood. She did have reservations about everything else though, but felt this was a step in the right direction. That Callie was listening to her. She felt heard.
The next day they were in the car and Callie's cell phone was excessively beeping. Arizona asks "We've been gone all of ten minutes. What could Mark possibly want? " "I don't know. Ohh. Oh, y ... okay. This is ... this is bad. He found out Lexie's with Avery. He's freaking." Callie replied while texting Mark back not paying any attention to Arizona. "I thought... this is ... This time was for us. And the first thing that you want to do is talk to Mark? " Arizona sighed she knew it was pointless. She knew once it got to this point it would be a full blown argument and she didn't want that, she wanted to spend the weekend away with her girlfriend before the chaos of a newborn would enter their lives.
She took the next exit and started back home, Callie sitting next to her didn't even notice until they were pulling back into the apartment complex. Callie looked up "Did you forget something? Why are we back home?" All the while still texting Mark about his current crisis. Arizona looked at her girlfriend with tears in her eyes "No, I didn't forget anything, but I think you did. I think you would probably have a better time if you took Mark instead of me."
Callie at there with her mouth open trying to comprehend what she just heard "You know what? This is jealousy, Arizona. You are jealous of Mark. Get over it."
"Well, do you ... do you blame me? I mean, he gets most of you ... the straight you, the ... the catholic you, the girl who loves baby showers. I just get, you know, the gay you ... oh. Which is really only about 20 minutes a night, and not even, since you just feel too fat to even let me touch you lately."
"Look, I am doing my best here to make sure that you are happy and that Mark's happy and that the tiny person growing inside me is happy. I don't know what else I can do, to be honest." Callie threw her hand up in exasperation.
Arizona choked back a sob "I think… I think I will just go and spend a few days with Teddy."
Callie was totally confused. She had no idea what was happening "So are you just giving up on our relationship is that it? You are just walking away?! If you didn't want in you should have said that to begin with!"
"No Callie, that's not what I am saying or doing. I am saying it is obvious that you don't want me. You haven't really let me be in this relationship since I got back. I want nothing more than to be with you and our baby, but sometimes I wonder if that's what you want. "
Arizona was openly crying now. "I feel left out, I can't fight for your attention anymore. It doesn't matter, I always lose to Mark anyway."
Callie sighed "Arizona HE is the father." Arizona interrupts "I know that Callie and I am not trying to take that away from him. He is the father and he is your best friend. It just feels like I don't have a place in your life anymore. I love you and I will love our baby, but Callie YOU don't want me around, you invite me to a weekend getaway and spend your time talking to Mark. He is over every night and doing things for you that I should be doing. I should be rubbing your feet and helping you relax after a long day, but I can't because Mark is already there. I want to be here, but you need to decide if you want me here because it doesn't feel like you do. "
Callie sat there stunned as she watched Arizona slowly drive off.
Callie walked into the building but instead of going into her apartment she knocked on Mark's door. When he opened the door he said "I thought you and Blondie were going out of town."
Callie said "'We were? But she left me. She told me to decide if I wanted her in my life and she left me" Mark pulled Callie into a hug and said "Screw her, she never wanted this anyway"
Callie stunned pulled back " But she did, she does. She said I didn't prioritize her in my life, that I put you before her."
Mark replied "Of course you do, we are a family. She doesn't get a say, she's nothing."
Callie shook her head not believing a word that just came out Mark's mouth. "She's not nothing Mark, she's my life."
Mark raised his voice "I'm the father. You are the mother and she's not anything. If she can't handle us being together she should leave. We are a family."
Callie looked shocked "No Mark, Arizona is my family. You and I made a baby together but that's it. She is the one I want to spend my life with, she is this baby's other mother. I hope you don't have a problem with that or we are going to have problems. She's not nothing. She is everything. She's right. I put you before her and I shouldn't have. We are going to start having boundaries and before you say anything, I am not trying to keep you from our child. But Mark, Arizona and I and this baby are a family just like you and the baby are a family. But I need to start showing her that she is my priority or I'm going to lose her"
At that moment both of their pagers went off with 911. They rushed to the hospital to see everyone crowded around the trauma room. On the bed was Arizona. Callie became visibly upset "What happened?" Bailey replied "She was hit by a drunk driver, She bumped her head and needs a CT but she is okay" Callie pushed her way into to the room to hear Arizona say "The truck came outta nowhere" she held her hand "I'm sorry Arizona, You were right. Please forgive me please don't leave."
Bailey pulled everyone from the room "Give them some space" "I can't lose you Arizona" Callie repeated "I'm sorry, I let Mark get in between us, it won't happen again. I mean it might but just yell at me and I will stop. I can't lose you" she stopped talking and got a far away look "Arizona, marry me." Arizona smiled and said "Yes Calliope,I'll marry you."
