Chapter 11

The next couple of days were quiet. Arizona and Callie went over the plans of the wedding with Daniel and Julie. They would fly out with McKenzie, Ben and the kids the week of the wedding. Callie hadn't heard much from Ricky. She was able to learn the names of Jessica's parents and passed them on to him. He had flown out to Savannah Georgia on a lead that he had on them, but it turned up a dead end. Seems they may have been there, but had moved on with a job.

Callie and Arizona were now halfway to Miami now. Callie couldn't wait to see her sister and parents. Arizona was nervous about the trip although she tried to convince Callie, and herself, that she wasn't. Truth was, Carlos had an unbelievable amount of respect for Arizona. He wasn't use to people standing up to him the way his daughter and Arizona had. He admired that.

The plane landed at Miami International Airport and Callie's parents were waiting anxiously.

"Momma!" Callie shouted like a child. Arizona smiled as she watched Callie run into the arms of what was just an older version of Callie.

"Carlos." Arizona said as he extended his arms to hug her.

"Dr. Robbins."

"Carlos, I told you, it's Arizona."

He released her from the hug. "Ok. OK. Arizona."

When Maria stopped hugging Callie she turned to Arizona. "Arizona. How are you?" She would never forget how Arizona hovered over Callie in the hospital. She was glad Callie was taken care of and really liked Arizona for that alone.

Arizona was brought into a hug as she answered, "I am well, thank you. It is good to see you again."

"You too."

Callie was now hugging her little sister, who followed her mom and made her way to

Arizona. They exchanged "Hello".

Again, Arizona had captured the full attention of the Torres family. Carlos had told the family about Arizona's speech to him that day in Seattle. How she was a good man in a storm. He loved that someone seemed to have Callie's back when it was against the wall.

He liked that she allowed Callie to fight her own battles, but the point she felt she couldn't any longer, Arizona stepped in. He liked that, although he knew Arizona was nervous according to Callie, she stood there like she didn't have the term nervous in her vocabulary.

Callie had always told them what a wonderful doctor Arizona was. Again they thought of how much more than gender it made her stand out among Callie's relationships. She was like a Torres. Confident and forward. Little did Carlos know that Arizona had severe authority issues. That was a side he was yet to see.

"It is beautiful here." Arizona said as they walked to the car.

Callie felt her phone vibrate. She didn't look at it, she just kept up with the conversation in front of her.

"Thank you." Maria offered. "We have little to do with that, but we love it here. My daughter and husband speech very highly of you."

"Well thank you and you have a wonderful family; which you do have a lot to do with."

"Again, I think so too."

As Maria and Arizona made small talk in front of them, Aria hung back with Callie and Carlos. "Dude, Callie, she is smoking." Aria laughed.

Carlos looked around Callie, "I can take one, but…."

"Its okay, Dad. I am not gay or anything I just…..she's hot."

Callie smiled with pride. "Yes she is." She leaned to her sister, out of what she thought was her father's ear, and whispered. "Girl, you don't even know."

"Calliope, I can hear you!"

"Carlos." Maria seemed to scold him. "And half of Miami hears you."

Callie and Aria laughed at their father. The bond seemed to be much like Arizona's family. Callie's father had been to Seattle several times and the family came to visit when Callie was in the hospital, but Arizona hadn't got to spend any time with them in their own element.

They loaded all the bags into Carlos' SUV and made their way to the house. Callie's phone vibrated twice more. Once Callie was sure that Arizona heard it. Callie looked over and smiled and continue to talk to her family. Callie couldn't wait to know what was so important. She hadn't heard from Ricky in a few days and couldn't imagine what was so important.

When the car turned into the house, Arizona tried not to act shocked. It was the largest house Arizona had ever seen outside of television. It was a Mansion. There were more windows on the front of this house than Seattle Grace she was sure. She knew Callie's father was wealthy, but she had no idea.

The SUV stopped in the circular driveway just in front of the front door. "Here we are." Carlos announced. Three people, two men and a young woman, came from the house when the car stopped. Arizona walked around to the back of the truck and was going to grab her bag when Callie stopped her and whispered. "Honey, they get those."

As Callie gently pulled Arizona by the arm, Arizona whispered. "Who are you people?"

Callie laughed. "Come on, I will show you to my room."

Arizona only thought the outside was big. She walked into a completely open floor plan on the lower level. Over to the left of the entrance was the most beautiful staircase

Arizona had ever see. The dark hardwood floor was a beautiful contrast to the white carpet that covered the stairs with a cherry wood hand rail.

"Callie, this place is gorgeous."

"It's home. Come on." She said leading her up the stairs. As Callie walked up the stairs she felt the vibration again.

Arizona didn't pretend not to hear it this time. When they arrived at the top of the stairs, she asked. "Callie, why is someone calling you and you aren't answering?"

"I am sure that it is Mark again. All 'I miss you. What you doing? No one is ever gonna love me. Why will Lexie not be with me again?' Buuuut if you want me to answer it, I will." Callie pulled her phone out. "I will."

"No, I was just wondering."

"He will live until we get back. Dude has major separate anxiety. All 'Lexie won't marry me' and stuff."

Arizona continued to look around the house. "This place is amazing."

"Yeah, Yeah." Callie opened the door to the third room on the right. "Here is my room."

"Ok, this 'room' is the size of our apartment."

"Whatever."

Arizona walked over to look out the window. The window had isn't own balcony that overlooked the beautiful back yard and swimming pool. "I could live here."

"I did once. Got bored and moved, went to school, went to Vegas, lost my husband to Izzy, got divorced, then there was Erica. I shoulda never left this room." Callie laughed. "But then I met you." She smiled and kissed Arizona.

"So thing are looking up." Arizona noticed a young man brought in her luggage. "I am going to the restroom before I start unpacking." Arizona kissed Callie on the check and then walked into the restroom.

When Callie heard the door close she pulled her phone out of her pocket. She looked at her phone. It read 5 new messages. Callie hit view then looked at the first message.

Callie. Call me ASAP

She hit the second message.

Call me

She looked at the next message.

Callie, where the hell are you? Call me.

She looked at the next one.

God woman, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU! His name was changed to Jacob. Call me.

Callie looked at the final message and almost dropped her phone.

God Callie am I gonna have to tell you this in a text message? You aren't going to believe this. He is in the 3rd grade at Dade County Elementary School. Callie are you catching this? He is HERE. Jacob lives in Miami! CALL ME!

"Oh my god! Even the bathrooms are gorgeous."

Callie almost jumped when Arizona came back in the room.
