Chapter 12

"Let's go!" Arizona stood at the bottom of the stairs shouting. She couldn't help but smile as Callie came quickly down the stairs still trying to get herself together.

As Callie got to Arizona she gently, but hurriedly, kissed her. "Happy Anniversary and stop yelling."

Arizona smiled. "Happy Anniversary to you too." She pulled Callie in for another quick kiss. "Good, lord." Arizona said as she looked up the stairs. "Guys, come on. I have to be in surgery in an hour and a half and mama has one in 2 hours. Let's go."

Callie smiled and teased Arizona. "I am sure they don't get this from me." Callie walked past her to the kitchen to grab her coffee.

As she walked off Arizona answered. "Right Ms coming down the stairs still dressing. I wouldn't know where our children get the complete love of being late." Just as Arizona said that, she heard the sounds of an oncoming stampede. She smiled again as they raced for the stairs. "Ok now slow down before you fall."

There were two 7 year olds standing at the top of the stairs. One girl, Kylee, that was a replica of her Callie. Then there was Chris. He looked like Callie, but his blue eyes and dimples were what stood out. Callie insisted on finding a donor with Arizona's features so that maybe a baby would resemble her. Arizona smiled as the two arguing over who won the race to the stairs. Arizona couldn't help but remember the times they had starting their family.

From Callie's wild craving, to what felt like thousands of donor profiles, to the constant vomiting for months, and the labor. Lord, who could forgot the 37 hour labor.

"I can't Arizona."

"You can." Arizona looked at Callie who's hair was flat against her head. Parts stuck to her face with sweat. "You can. Just push again. One more. Honey, you can do this."

Kylee had came first and after the first 36 hours, Callie was exhausted. Now as the 37th hour was just around the corner, Callie didn't have the strength to go any further. Doctor Fields looked at Arizona with a pleading face. "Arizona, she has got to push. NOW!"

Arizona looked at Callie. "Just one more. Please."

An exhausted Callie cried "I can't."

"You can!" Arizona quickly leaned Callie forward and climbed in the bed. She was straddling the bed and was behind Callie. Callie now had her back laid heavily against Arizona chest.

"What are you doing?" Lucy said.

"Making her push." Arizona whispered into Callie's ear. "I know you are tired and you want nothing more than to stop, but Callie he needs to come out of that birth cannel. Now I…he needs for you to push. Please Callie. He needs for you too push."

"Maybe we were right to name this one after Cristina." Callie tried to laugh.

"Right. He obviously is as stubborn as she is." Arizona kissed Callie's ear. Her chin was now resting on Callie's shoulder. "Let's show him who is boss here, shall we?"

Callie weakly smiled. "One more?"

"One more."

With that Callie began to push as Arizona held her.

Arizona was brought back to the present as Callie whispered in her ear. "It was an awful day. Stop thinking about that." She then kissed Arizona's cheek.

"How do you know that is what I was thinking?"

"Um, I know you and you are standing here all googly eyed looking at them. That is where your mind always goes." Callie looked up at the kids. "HEY!" They both looked at her. "I won. I was down here first, so I win. Now stop fighting over it and get your butts down here."

The twins ran down the stairs and as Callie was on one side of the stairs, Arizona was on the other side. Arizona looked up and grinned at Callie as the kids ran between them into the kitchen. "Best 8 years ever."

"Ever."

The ride to school was filled with Callie explaining who was going where this afternoon. "Ok Chris remember, Mom will pick you up today. Then you have baseball game at 5:00. Kylee girl, you are with me today."

"I have a basketball game."

"I know dear. You have a game too."

"Mom?" Chris called out.

"Yes." Arizona said looking into the rearview mirror to met his stare.

"Can I come by the hospital for a little while after school before the game?"

"I guess we could swing by. What's up?"

"Meredith promised to get play with that Anatomy Jane doll again. She is going to show me some more guts and organs."

Callie laughed. "Just tell her not to tell you any more stories. You didn't sleep for two days the last time."

"I ain't scared, mama. I will be a good doctor like you and Mom."

"I'm sure. With a teacher like Grey you really can't go wrong."

"Alright, here we are." Arizona announced as the car came to a stop. Arizona turned in her seat to look into the back seat of the SUV. "Have a wonderful day and I love you both."

A collective "Love you too" came from the back seat.

As Callie said her goodbyes, Chris was digging in his back pack. "Here it is."

Callie rolled her eyes at Arizona thinking Chris had something from the teacher that he had "forgotten" to give his parents. The little boy pulled a card from his bag and handed it to Callie. Callie looked at the red envelope and then to Arizona. Both Callie and Arizona's name was on the front. "Where did you get this?" Callie knew that her or Arizona know nothing about the card.

"Aunt Aria sent it to Aunt Cristina and then she gave it to us." Kylee answered before Chris had the chance to.

Callie opened the envelope to read 'Happy Anniversary' on the front of the card. Callie opened the card to read:

When I was down, you lifted me up

When I was hurt, you held me while I cried

When I was lost, you were the light that lead me home.

Everyday I understand more what truly love is.

Everyday I understand more why I love you.

Callie looked down to see that Kylee and Chris had signed there names to the card. "Thank you." Callie said in a whisper as she handed the card to Arizona. With a tear running down her cheek, Callie leaned back and kissed both of the kids. "That was so nice."

Arizona looked at the card and turned to the kids. "Do we have the best kids or what?"

After Arizona had received her kiss from both of them, the climbed out of the car. Arizona and Callie talked about the crazy life that had lead them here. The day that it all began.

8 years ago

Arizona stood and looked at Callie. Their hands together has they faced each other. Callie had always hated speaking in front of people, but today she was focused on one thing. Not the family and friends that sat teary eyed in the church, but the person that was in front of her. The life and the dreams that were in front of her. Callie finally spoke.

"I wondered what I would say to you today. There are so many things that I have you to thank for. You stood by me and was my support at work, you were there to catch me at times I thought my world was falling apart, you saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. I was told once that I had loved and lost, but to walk tall. Arizona, I have never in my life walked taller than I do with you. Until you I only thought that I had been in love before. I promise to love you and honor you. To never put anyone else above you. Through sickness and health for as long as we live."

Arizona let go of the breathe at she had unconsciously been holding. She sniffed and quickly wiped the tear that ran out of her eye. "I had always had this plan for my life. Became this unbelievable surgeon and travel the world. To never say that was content to always strive for more. Then one day I landed a new job in a new hospital that I honestly thought was a stepping stone in my career. Then one day, while in the ER, I saw you. My life didn't change at Joe's or the day you stopped the elevator doors from closing, or even the day I told you I loved you for the first time. My life changed the moment I saw you. You make me want to be someone more than who I am. Someone more than a good surgeon. You make me want to be a good wife and a dotting parent. You stood between me and a gunman. You forgave me when I made the worst mistake of my life. My life is infinitely better with you in it. Everyone thought that it was me that helped you remember who you were, but it was the other way around. It was how you reminded me who I wanted to be, how much that I loved you, and how I could never live without you that saved me. I will never forget that. I promise to love you and honor you. To never, again, put anything or anyone above you. Through sickness and health for a long as we live."

As they drove and talked about the wedding, Callie chuckled causing Arizona to look at her. "What?"

"You are sitting her talking about our wedding and you just missed the road."

"No I didn't."

"Um, Arizona, we do this every morning. You did. You just missed the road to the hospital."

"Um, Callie, I know how often we do this. And no. I. didn't. miss. the. road."

Callie looked around confused. "The hospital is that way." Callie pointed back to the road.

"I know. We aren't going to the hospital."

"Excuse me?"

"We aren't going to the hospital."

"Arizona, we have surgeries this morning."

"We did, yes."

"We did?"

"I had an appendectomy that Alex and Bailey are doing. You had a rotator cuff surgery that Lexie agreed to assist Doctor Martin with. Anything else?"

"Where the hell are we going?"

"Well, you never did take me to Fiji. Remember that was the vacation I was planning when you broke up with me because I didn't want kids?"

"Fiji? What the hell? Speaking of kids…."

"Calm down. Aria didn't mail Cristina the card. I am sure that she handed right to Chris or Kylee."

"Excuse me?"

Arizona laughed at Callie's still shocked look. "Your parents and Aria arrived last night. While you were in surgery I took the kids to the hotel to see them and go over the schedule that the kids have the next week."

"I didn't pack."

"I did. It's all in the back. I loaded the car up last night while you were sleeping. I also brought a carry on bag for you with some magazines and books to keep you busy. But I do have to say that I am both impressed and horrified by our daughters ability to make up a lie on the spot like she did about that card."

Callie laughed. "Oh yeah ms come on we are due in surgery. So the kids knew?"

"Have for about a week."

"How did I get this lucky?"

"Beats the hell out of me." Arizona teased. "I would say that we both did. As crazy and hectic as it is, I can't imagine my life without you and those kids."

"Me either. I guess we should thank god for dirty bar bathroom and memory loss."

"Alright we're here." Arizona said as she pulled into the airport. "Fiji, here we come."

Callie and Arizona only thought their lives were complete. Until the day the twins graduated high school. Then again when they graduated with honors from their university. Or it was when they became doctors. Kylee followed in Arizona's footsteps and became a world class peds surgeon. Chris follow in the footsteps of his name sake and aunt Teddy. He had won several awards for Cardiac research.

There were a million times they thought they had it all. Until one day, actually three days, that they stood over basinets in a the nursery of the hospital and looked down at Chris and Kylee's children. They knew that in those moments, their lives were finally truly complete.
