I have looked at this update for days now. I have to admit that it scares the shit out of me.
Chapter 15
Arizona had already called Callie in the waiting room to let her, Mark and Lexie know that Sofia was out of surgery. The repairs were minimal, but she would have several weeks of rehab to go through. Arizona had told the Anesthesiologist that she would sit with Sofia until she woke. The Doctor agreed and Arizona sat at her bedside and held her little hand. As she looked at her, she wondered again how all this happened. How things got this out of control. There was no right or wrong answer, nor a right or wrong person to blame. Callie had never failed to shouldered her part of the responsibility for what happened. As she looked at Sofia, blame didn't matter. What mattered was fixing the problem.
Arizona knew that a lot of trust had to be regained, but she was more than willing to do her part in that. She knew that Callie would be afraid that she would leave again and she knew that she had to make her feel safe.
As she was mapping out a plan, Sofia started to open her eyes. Arizona leaned forward and smiled at the girl while rubbing her hair. "Hey."
Sofia, in a very groggy voice said. "Hi."
"You did really well, Sofia. They fixed your knee and you'll be fine."
The girl batted her eyes. "You stayed?"
"I wouldn't be anywhere else right now." Arizona saw the little girls flutter shut. "Go back to sleep sweetheart. I'll be right here when you wake up."
Almost completely back to sleep, Sofia slurred. "Ok, Mama."
Arizona rubbed her hair again and tears ran freely down her face as the girl fell asleep. What was wrong with her? What the hell was she gonna do? She loved Callie. She loved Sofia. What the hell was she going to do?

Mark and Lexie had offered to stay with Sofia for a couple hours until Callie and Arizona could figure out what Arizona was going to do about a flight home. Callie took her back to the apartment and Arizona was able to check some flights and email the other Doctors in the practice about her knew that going home now was useless. It was now 9 p.m. in Maryland.
Callie listened to Arizona as she talked to her PA Jennifer. "If I take the 8:45 flight, I would land just after 4 a.m. and it would be 5 before I got home. That just isn't gonna work either."
"Ok, then I will cover again tomorrow. Arizona, it's not that big a deal. It's Monday and it's always crazy, but we can handle this here. Take care of what you need to."
"Thank you. I will call you tomorrow. There are 3 flights out in the morning so hopefully I will be able to catch one of those if Sofia is doing well."
"Take your time." The woman chuckled. "I'm just happy that you are putting you first for a change. It's nice."
"Tell that to my patients tomorrow." Arizona smiled. "Alright, I will talk to you when I know an arrival time."
"We'll be here."
Callie watched Arizona hang the phone up. "So you aren't leaving until tomorrow?"
"There's no sense in me flying out tonight. I mean, I could and just go in late I guess." She looked at Callie and slyly smiled. "Oooorrrr" She scooted over toward Callie. "I could stay here one more night."
"I'd like that." Callie smiled. She leaned into Arizona and kissed her.
Arizona pulled out of the kiss and looked at Callie. "I know that you are scared, Callie. I know that you don't know if you can trust me not to walk away again, but I need for you to try. I promise that I'm here. We'll have to figure a lot of things out, but I want to make this work."
"I want to trust you, Arizona. I really do. It's just..." Callie couldn't even finish the sentence.
"It's hard. I know." Arizona rest her forehead against Callie's. "Believe in me one more time. Please."
"I'll try."
"Ok." Arizona pulled Callie's face to hers and kissed her.
As they kissed, like their lives depended on it, they melted into each other. Arizona's finger tips found the hem of Callie's shirt. She ran her hand across the fabric and her nails barely grazed against Callie's bare skin. Without an objection from Callie, Arizona place her palm firmly against Callie's side rubbing her thumb over the dark skin.
Callie took Arizona by the face and kissed her as deeply as she could. Her skin was on fire where Arizona touched her. Their tongues wrestled with one other, until they were breathless. Arizona grabbed the bottom of Callie's shirt and pulled in upward until it was at her neck and required them to separate before it's removal.
As the air hit Callie in the face, so did the truth. Could she trust Arizona again? Arizona noticed the look on Callie's face as she now sat in a black and pink laced bra. "Trust me." Arizona said. She kissed the woman again. "Just trust me." She said as her hand made its way to Callie's back and unfastened her bra. "It's me. I made a mistake, we both did, but trust me now." Arizona leaned Callie back on the couch and found her right breast with her mouth.
Callie laced her fingers through Arizona's hair as her head fell back and a moan escaped her lips. It was a sound that Arizona had missed. A sound that increased the arousal that she already felt coming. She left Callie's breast and looked down at the woman, who was now underneath her. As she blue eyes found brown, she lowered her head and placed a soft kiss on Callie. "Trust me, Calliope. I promise it will be the last time you have to."
Callie pushed Arizona off of her and stood leaving the other woman confused. She extended her hand to Arizona, who was still on the couch. "The first thing you need to know about parenting is that you can't just do this all over the house." Callie smiled.
Arizona took the extended hand and was led into the bedroom. The bedroom that they had once shared. Callie removed the shirt that Arizona had on as they walked while kissing. Callie discarded Arizona's bra and opened the buttons on Arizona's jeans. She slightly pushed the woman backward and Arizona fell on the bed then Callie grabbed the bottom of her pants leg. She slowly pulled down the pants revealing the pink underwear that Arizona was wearing. "Nice." Callie smiled.
"Really, Callie?" Arizona laughed as she pulled the woman on top of her. She then flipped her over quickly and began to remove her pants as well. Suddenly she was faced with black and pink laced panties that had matched Callie's bra. They were almost see through. Arizona had spent years trying to forget just how beautiful Callie was. She was gorgeous in clothing, but outside of them, she was breathtaking. She crawled back up the bed in between Callie's leg. As her lips found Callie's again, her hand ran down the length of Callie's stomach. She slightly grazed the top of the underwear as her tongue dove further into Callie's mouth.
Arizona hand slid further over the lacy. She palmed Callie with her hand and found the wetness that was already there. The knowledge that she already had Callie this aroused, only fueled her fire. She slowly brought her hand back up to the top of Callie's panties and slid her hand underneath. As her finger entered into the wetness, Callie gasped. Arizona deepened the kiss again and found her tongue caught in Callie's vice. As she sucked slowly on Arizona's tongue, she felt the woman's hand began to massage the hardened nerve.
As Arizona's hand continued to move up and down the length of Callie, she straddled her thigh to give herself some sort of touch also. It was then that Callie's hand quickly found its way to Arizona's damped core. As she slid her hands inside Arizona panties causing Arizona to begin rocking against the hand that was now pressed against Callie's own thigh.
As Callie moved her finger against Arizona she felt the woman's rocking against her increase. Callie knew Arizona and knew what she wanted. She reached further and insert two fingers into Arizona causing her to sit upright on Callie's thigh and hand. She then mimicked Callie's movement and quickly insert two fingers of her own into Callie. As she did, Callie's took her free hand and cupped Arizona's breast.
Arizona's head slightly went back as she moaned. Callie had forgotten just how sexy Arizona was while riding her hand. Just the sight made Callie even more wet. She picked up her pace again, as did the woman above her.
"Oh God." Callie said out.
Arizona leaned back over toward Callie and crashed her lips against Callie's. She now had Callie's tongue and sucked on it in the same motion of Arizona's fingers inside her. They were so lost in the moment that they couldn't tell who was moaning when.
Arizona pushed as deep as she could into Callie and placed her forehead against the other woman's. "I love you." She said breathless. "Don't you ever forget that again, Calliope."
With that Callie felt a wave of orgasm rush over her entire body. Arizona slowed her pace slightly to let the woman breathe a moment. As Callie lay there with her eyes tightly shut, Arizona returned to a massaging motion and continued to look at the woman underneath her.
Slowly brown eyes appeared as her eye lids slowly opened. Callie laced her fingers through Arizona's blonde hair and smiled. "I love you too. Don't you ever let me forget that again."
"I promise." Arizona smiled and kissed Callie again.
Before she knew what was happening, Callie had reversed their positions. She looked down at Arizona. "Thank you for going with Sofia today."
"You don't have to thank me for being somewhere I should have been."
"I just think that you need a little act of appreciation from me."
Arizona slyly grinned. "And what might this act be?"
Callie chuckled and began to kiss her way down Arizona's chest and stomach. She stopped at Arizona's panties. "How is it that you still have these one?" She asked with one swift movement that ridded Arizona of them.
As Callie positioned herself between Arizona's leg, she never lost eye contact until her face was buried between Arizona's legs and the other woman's head was completely thrown back in pleasure. It was something about the way Callie licked and sucked every part of her that drove Arizona crazy. She had never been with anyone that was as good at the 'act' as Callie was.
Arizona ran her left hand into Callie's dark hair while her right one braced against the headboard. She could barely speak or think, but somehow managed to say, "Dear God you are driving me crazy."
Just as she did, she felt Callie's tongue plunge deep inside her. She gave one last valiant effort and heard Arizona say "Oh God, Callie." It was a tone that almost made Callie have her own orgasm on the spot.
When Arizona had stopped the grip that her thighs had on Callie's head, Callie slid back up her body and kissed Arizona, leaving the taste of herself on her lips.
"I think I just fell even deeper in love with you." Arizona smiled.
"Oh really?" Callie smiled and met Arizona's stare.
"Yep. Totally and completely in love." Arizona leaned up to meet Callie's lips again.
"Good."
Callie moved over to Arizona's side and placed her arm around the blonde. "What are we gonna do, Callie?"
"I don't know. Can we not think about it until tomorrow? I just want one night where we can just be...us."
Arizona smiled. "Yep, we can talk about something else." Arizona chuckled. "So what did Amanda say?"
"Really?" Callie raised her head and looked at Arizona shocked.
"Yes. I want to know all the details of how you broke up with the bitch."
"Bitch? That isn't very nice." Callie laughed.
"Hey, anyone that touches you is officially a bitch in my book."
"I told her that I loved you. I always had and something inside me knew that one day you'd come back. I didn't know it would be 13 years, but whatever."
"Was it serious?"
"For her I guess. We went out twice alone and then once with Monica and Paula while Sofia was in Maryland. We talked several times and text a lot, but that was it. Never anything else."
"So you didn't-"
"How was I suppose to sleep with someone while you were here?"
"Good answer." Arizona turned over on her side and kissed Callie. "Now. Where were we?" Arizona said towering over the other woman.
"You were telling me how much you love me."
Arizona smiled and chuckled. "Oh, and I do." She said and kissed Callie.
The lovemaking continued during most of the night until they both passed out of pure exhaustion.
The sun came in the next morning and shone brightly right into Arizona's eyes. As she raised her hand to block the unwanted light she rubbed her face against the pillow. It was harder than she remembered her pillow being last night. She slightly opened her eyes and found herself on the couch in the living room. Of all the ways she remembered being last night, in the living room wasn't one of them.
She rubbed her eyes and slowly tried to sit up. She squinted her eyes and looked around the room. "Callie?" Arizona said out and no one answered. She looked over at the clock and saw the time was 1 p.m. "Holy shit!" She said standing up and noticed the medication bottle on the coffee table.
As she looked at the bottle of Ambien and some things became very clear. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and the door opened.
"You ready to talk now?" Arizona looked at Callie stunned. When Arizona didn't answer, Callie walked in the room and closed the door. "I didn't plan this, ok. I didn't plan any of this, but there is a baby showing up in our lives in 7 months and so now I have to plan and I don't know how long I can wait for you to process. But I- I want you in my plan. I want you to be a part of my plan. So, are you in or are you out?"
Arizona stood and continued to look at Callie. Callie walked over to her. "Are you ok? You're really pale." Arizona looked at a visibly younger Callie with short hair. Callie then noticed the medicine bottle. "Oh God, Arizona did you take that stuff again? You know that it knocks you out and you sleep all day and have crazy, vivid dreams. How long did you sleep?"
"I don't know. I guess I took them when I got home."
"So about 16 hours?"
"I don't...I guess." Arizona sounded confused.
"Yep that's normal for you on these things. You know that you aren't supposed to take those things. Throw those out-"
Suddenly visions of being apart and missing so much in a child's life can rushing back. "I'm in."
Callie took a deep breath. "What?"
"I'm in. You just have to give me a minute."
"Ok. I don't have to move back in yet. I mean we don't have to be together just yet."
"Shut up. Just shut up. You don't get to tell me we aren't together. Because I love you and you love me and always will and none of the rest of it matters. We. ARE. together. And if you ever sleep with anyone else again, man or Amanda-"
"Who?"
"I will kick the crap out of you." Arizona stopped and smiled. "And I don't have to marrying someone else." She placed small peeks on Callie's lips.
"Marry! Who the hell are you marrying?" Callie said between kisses.
"No one...I-I mean you."
"You wanna get married?" Callie said shocked.
"Well yeah. I mean don't you? I mean eventually?" Callie just continued to smile. "You are who I wanna marry. You and only you."
"Are you asking me to marry you" Callie noticed that Arizona was still pale. "My God, what happened in that dream?"
"It was so real, she was so...real."
"She who?"
"It doesn't matter. We're having a baby."
"uh huh."
"And I want to be with you. I want to marry and raise this baby with you." Arizona kissed Callie again. She suddenly pulled away from Callie's lips. "Hey, what do you think of the name Sofia?"
Callie smiled. "I actually like it."
"Ok so Sofia it is."
"We don't even know if it's a girl." Callie laughed still trying to figure out what was going on.
Arizona chuckled. "Ooohhh, it's a girl. Trust me."
A/N This isn't where I saw this story going, but when I saw the end, this is what I saw. I have to admit, I love when a story takes on it's own being and tells itself. I hope that you all liked it and don't hate me. Over the next few chapters we will be wrapping it up. We are gonna take some trips through the Robbins-Torres family life. Please be kind in the reviews. LOL
