Sorry for the delay. Like I said the first couple of chapters are on the older computer, so it's more difficult to update because it is only with me during the back half of the week.

There is a couple thing I would like to address. I have been asked a couple answers that I want to answer. 1) Sofia's reason. My take is that Sofia wants her mom happy. She is a smart girl and can do the time line here. 2) I am also one of those that don't like the thoughts of either of them waiting around on the other. If you noticed the name of the building was 'Robbins-Culter'. Kinda makes you wonder who Culter is, right?

Thanks for the waiting. I will try to answer questions either here or inbox if you have them.

Chapter 2

"Sofia, I am not doing this again!" Matthew huffed

"Fine. Then stay here, but I'm going."

"If you leave this room, I'll scream."

"You do and I will tell about the time you saw Maddie Karev changing clothes in the pool house and instead of leaving, you just watched her."

"You wouldn't."

"Dad may think it's funny, but I really doubt Lexie and Alex would."

"Hey! That wasn't my fault. I couldn't leave. I was in shock."

"Yeah, right. You want to explain that shock to your Mom or Alex?"

"No."

"Then you will keep your mouth shut."

Matthew watched as Sofia slowly open the door of her room that lead into the main living area of the Condo. Sofia looked both ways outside the door. She then walked into the living room. As she quietly walked across the room, she was stopped by a loud voice. "Going somewhere, Ms. Sofia?"

She turned to see her nanny standing just behind her. "Ummm...I was going.."

"She was going out to get me a new DS at the toy store next door. She broke mine and I told her that, since she had more money than God, she could replace it now."

Sofia looked at Matthew puzzled, but knew this wasn't a time for gratitude. This was her chance. "I told you that I would get you one before Lexie got back."

"If mom finds out that you broke another one out of anger, she gonna tell Callie this time."

"You won't tell will you, Maria?" Sofia looked up at her nanny in a look that could scream 'Please'.

The nanny looked from one kid to the other. "No. I won't tell your Mothers, but Sofia you must get control of that temper. You shouldn't brake his games."

"I know. You have met my Mom, right? It's not really my fault that I'm a little extreme."

"A little?" Matthew laughed

"Whatever, Matt." Sofia looked back at her nanny. "I'll try to control myself."

"Alright, you can go to the store next door. Hold on and I will go with you."

"No...no." Sofia quickly said. "Its just a few feet. We'll be fine."

"Sorry, but I can't let you go alone." Maria said as she picked up her purse. "We'll all go."

As Sofia and Matthew walked into the toy store, and she finally pulled him out of Maria's hearing. "We have to ditch her."

"How are we going to do that? They know what happened yesterday. I heard Teddy telling her to watch us closer."

"Now what?" Sofia said as she looked around trying to come up with a plan. "Well start looking around because we're going to be here a while."

"What do you mean?"

"She'll have to go to the bathroom sometime today."

"You mean we are staying in this store until she goes to the bathroom?" He said in disbelief that Sofia that thought this was a good idea.

"I didn't say that it was perfect, but it's the only thing that I have. I mean, we are kids trying to outsmart 3 doctors and a nanny." Reluctant, Matthew did has he was asked and looked around the store; for hours.

Sofia heard her phone begin to ring as sounds of Lady Gaga filled the quiet store. Bad Romance was her Mom's ringtone. It was an older song, but a joke that Sofia always found a lot more funny than Callie. She had heard it once and immediately thought of her mother. "Hey Mom."

"Hey sweetheart. How's Maryland?"

"It's good. Matt and I have seen some of the city."

"How are your Aunts and Lexie doing with you two?"

"They've been in the conferences most of the time."

"I knew that would happen. That's why I wasn't sure why you two insisted on going."

"Well you were busy with all your surgeries this week and so we would have been just sitting in Seattle. At least here we are sitting somewhere new. Plus Maria is taking us to the White House tomorrow. Cool right?"

Callie chuckled. "Yes very cool indeed." Callie paused for a minute then started to speak again. "I just….I know that I wouldn't have gotten to see you much this week, but I still miss you."

"I know. I miss you too, Mom."

"Yeah, right." Callie laughed. "I remember what getting away from Mom was like at your age."

"I'm with Lexie, that hardly counts."

They both laughed. "Speaking of Lexie, you are being good, right?"

"Yes, Mom."

"I saw your dad this morning and asked if he had talked to Lexie."

"And? What'd she say?" Sofia panic for a moment.

"She said that things were good."

Sofia breathed a sigh of relief. "See, I told you."

"Ok, baby, I'm being paged to the ER. I love you and BE GOOD."

"Ok. Love you too Mom."

"Bye, sweetie." Callie said hanging up her phone.

Maria watched the little girl hang up her phone and continue shopping. She thought that this was the reason children shouldn't have money. They had been in the store for hours and were no closer to leaving. It was now past lunch time and the children needed to be fed soon. She looked at her watch one more time and decided to try and hurry the kids along. "Have we found what we need?"

"Nope." Both kids said in unison.

"Well, we need to hurry along. We have things to do. It's passed lunch and your Mothers won't be happy that you haven't eaten."

"We just can't decide." Sofia said as she looked at the two game in her hands.

"Well I'm going into the restroom and when I return, we need to go." Maria smiled

"Alright." Matthew said.

As Maria walked into the restroom and closed the door, Sofia smiled. Moments later Maria returned to find that her worst fear had happened. She had been played by two children.

"Look, we don't have much time." Sofia said as her and Matthew ran toward the building. "We have to get in to see her quickly because Maria knows where to look."

"How are we gonna to get in to see a Doctor? I mean, something has to be wrong with one of us."

"I'll figure that out when the time comes."

Sofia and Matthew never stopped running until they were standing in front of the lady they had spoken to yesterday. "Well, hello again."

"Hi." Sofia said trying to catch her breathe. "Is Doctor Robbins in today?"

The woman said looking between the kids wondering why they really wanted to see Doctor Robbins. "She is."

Sofia's face lit up. "She is?"

"Well, not right now. She stepped out for lunch, but she should be back in just a moment."

"I can't wait." Sofia said before she could stop it from coming out.

The lady at the front desk seemed concerned. "Is there something that I can help you with?"

"No. We just need to see her."

"Are you or your friend sick?" The woman asked extremely concerned.

"No. We just need to see her."

"I normally wouldn't tell people this, but she just went to the deli on the corner. I'm sure that she is still there if it is imp….." Before she could finish Sofia was running out the door with her brother right behind her.

Before they got to the deli a cab stopped ahead of them and Maria jumped out. She stood on the sidewalk and pointed toward the hotel. "Walk! Now!"

"But I want to go to the Deli at the corner." Sofia plead

"There's food at the hotel."

"But you said that we had to eat."

"If you don't want your Mother to hear about this immediately, then you will turn around and walk."

"But, Maria…..."

"Sofia!" Maria pointed again. "This is your choice. Either walk or I'll call." Maria said pulling out her phone.

"Then call!" Sofia huffed as she crossed her arms across her chest and began to pat her foot.

"Fine then." Maria said as she began to dial the number.

"Alright!" Sofia turned around and began to cry out of nothing but pure anger. She had never broken one of Matt's games before, but today wasn't over yet.

Sofia sat on the couch in the living room in the same position that she had been in for over an hour. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was now three o'clock and she knew what that meant. Arizona wouldn't be at work much longer today. She knew from being in a family of Doctors, that everyone working for private practices got off work around five in the afternoon. This meant she had only a few hours left today before Arizona may be leaving the office. She had to figure out what to do. But what? This plan wasn't suppose to be this hard. She thought that she would just come to Maryland with her family, then everything would just fall into place. She never thought that everyone would be watching her every move like a hawk. There had to be an answer somewhere. There had to be a way for her to see Arizona. She really didn't even know who she was looking for. Her Mother had never shown her a picture of her ex. Matter of fact, Arizona Robbins was a dead subject. Sofia wondered what had happened that had caused Callie to never even speak Arizona's name. More so than that she needed reassuring. Sofia was a smart girl and knew there was a timeline to the breaking ties. She also know that timeline started almost immediately with her.

She wouldn't even have known about Arizona if it weren't for Teddy and Cristina. It was an accident really. Sofia was pressing for answers as to why her Mother never dated anyone seriously, then Sofia heard Teddy say 'when you lose the love of your life that happens', under her breathe. After that statement, the young girl demanded to know who it was. Teddy had refused at first. As a matter of fact, weeks had gone by and Teddy still wouldn't tell her anything. Finally, she decided that she would force her aunt to tell. Sofia made it clear that she would ask her Mother who Arizona was if Teddy didn't explain herself. Feeling as though a twelve year old had her back to the wall, Teddy spilled her guts. Over the next 6 months, Sofia had wanted to find Arizona and meet her, but never had the chance until now. Only weeks before the trip she found out where the woman was. She had walked into the room just as Lexie asked Teddy if she was worried they may bump into Arizona at the conference. After that, Sofia wanted to come and once again, forced her aunts to let her make the trip along with them. She had told them that she would just tell her mom that while in Maryland they may see Arizona and she wanted to go. Knowing that Callie would immediately want to know how she knew of Arizona; Lexie and Teddy agreed to take Sofia. They later decided to bring Matt to help 'keep an eye on her'. Little did they know there was a enemy in their camp.

Matthew came and sat down by his sister. "Look, Sofia." He said while handing her a newspaper.

"What, reading the world news now?" She said angrily while pushing the paper back at him. "I don't have time to look".

"Sofia." Matthew whispered handing the paper to her again. "I heard some people talking about a carnival in town. They are having it a couple miles from here. I looked in the paper and it is open all day. Look." Matthew pointed to a picture. "This is one of the things that will be there. It's a maze that is made up of glass walls. Once you get inside, you cant tell which are walkways and which are glass walls. It says here that some people are in there for hours."

"So all I have to do….." The kids finished the sentence in unison. "….is make it out first."

Sofia looked out the cab window as they were on their way to carnival. She watched as the cab started to pass Arizona's office building. It actually stopped at a light in front of her building. Sofia looked up at all the windows and wondered which one belonged to Arizona. She just knew that if she could just talk to Arizona, she could make her see why she needed to get to know her. She never admitted the truth to anyone. The truth was that she really didn't know why she needed to meet the woman so badly. Teddy was right. Sofia knew the whys she just still had this unbearable need to know the person who could have been the other Mom she had always wanted. Suddenly the cab started to move again as Sofia watched the building disappear out of her window. This had to work. She would only be here two more days and she hadn't even seen Arizona yet. She was sure that she would have met her by now and that Arizona would have convinced Teddy and Lexie to let Sofia spend some time with her, or that was what she'd hoped would happen. Once they were at the carnival, she and Matthew had decided that it would be better if they didn't go for the glass house first thing. Although her time was limited, they knew this was the thing to do. Anything else would be obvious.

After half an hour, Matthew made a huge a discovery. A large glass maze that they could all go through together. Each person started on different corners of the large, glass square. Once the carnival employee gave the signal, everyone started to run to the center and then find their way out. Sofia had to stop and laugh once when she saw her brother her run strait into a glass wall, but she couldn't stop long. She was on a mission and had to get out of here, quick. She could tell that she was in no danger of Maria making it out any time soon. Matthew was laughing loudly and yelling for Maria to look at him as he ran into walls. During this time Maria hadn't even noticed that Sofia was almost out of the maze. Sofia, hearing Matthew laughing and talking to Maria, knew that her nanny wasn't paying too much attention to her success with the tricky maze. Normally she would have been proud of how quickly she seemed to be going through, but not today. There would be no celebrating today because that would cause to much attention and, for the first time in her life, she didn't want that. She could hear Matthew and Maria laughing as she stepped out of the maze. She never turned around; only running to catch another cab. Once she had done that, she was immediately heading back to Arizona's office.

During the 15 minute ride there, she determined that she didn't want to stand outside the building again wondering what to say. She wanted to know exactly what to do, so she planned a complete conversation in her head. She knew exactly what she would say. What she would do. She just had to hurry. She was sure that Maria would have figured out by now that she was gone. So no matter what she did, or said, she just had to do it quickly. When the cab came to a stop she paid the driver and stepped out of the car. As she made her way to the door, a woman on the inside, hurried toward the door causing Sofia to politely hold it open for her.

"Thank you, dear." The woman said as she quickly walked by her.

"You're welcome." Sofia replied as she walked in the building. Both seeming to be in a hurry.

Across the street Teddy and Lexie, who had been called by the nanny, watched in shock. Unable to speak, they only stood there with their breath held and watched as Sofia has just held the door for Arizona.

And #3. This story is about Sofia right now. Arizona will come in soon, then they both will.
