Chapter 19:
The second she heard her voice, Callie knew that she remembered. She fucking remembers and she didn't know what to do. The first thing she wanted to do was to run, to fucking flee but she was frozen.
She still hasn't looked at Arizona hoping that somehow she would forget that she was in her room and move on. However, she wasn't that lucky.
"Calliope." Arizona said this time more firmly.
"How long?" Was all she asked. She didn't know if she understood her but to be honest she didn't care. It was all she could say at this point.
She wasn't ready to face her so soon, she wasn't ready for her pink bubble of ignorance to pop, not now, not ever. However, it seemed that the universe didn't care about what she wants.
"A week..." Came Arizona's answer. It seemed that the blonde understood her. If she could she would have smiled about how the blond still seemed to understand her after all this time. Instead it only brought bitterness and anger.
"I have to check your ribs." Callie said curtly. She was going to do her job and get the hell out this room. She didn't have anything to say to her and Arizona made it perfectly clear that she didn't want anything to do with her.
Arizona only nodded. She still wasn't over the fact that Callie was standing before her alive and apparently angry. With what she didn't have any idea.
Callie walked to her side and without looking at her once she removed Arizona's gown and checked her ribs. The moment Callie skin came in contact with Arizona's both women breath hitched and Arizona stopped breathing. It was the first contact they had in six years with the both of them awake and conscious of it.
Her ribs were hurting her a little bit but it wasn't unbearable. Callie seemed satisfied and recovered Arizona.
As soon as she was done she moved to the door needing to put some space between them.
"Your ribs seem to be healing nicely. In a few days you can start your first PT session." She finished and opened the door ready to leave.
"Calliope..." Arizona start but she didn't get to say anything else.
"Stop calling me that, that's Callie to you or Dr. Torres"
Arizona won't lie this hurt, it really hurt. However she wasn't the only one to blame! Why would Callie still be angry at her when she was the one who decided that they weren't worth the fight for and ran off starting a new life.
"Callie... we need to-"
"Not now, we don't. I can't do this right now..: I need time." And with that she left.
Arizona would've tried harder to stop her but she was still to emotional to get the words out.
She sighed when she saw Callie leave. She knew they had a lot of things to say, her especially.
The next couple of days, the hospital staff was at the receiving end of Callie's anger. Nobody could talk to her without receiving a furious reply. The interns were scared more than usual of her and the most insignificant mistake could coast them.
She hadn't seen nor talked to Kate in days, the redhead being mad at her. The only person who could talk to her without losing their head were Mark and Sofia.
Today was the day Sofia got her cast off, it was also the day Arizona had her first PT session. Callie knew that she had to check on her arm and see if everything was good.
She was walking down the corridor with Sofia on Mark's back. She couldn't make it to her school because of an emergency and Mark immediately proposed to go get his little princessa. Callie was grateful to have him in her life and her little girl's. She didn't know what she would've done without him. He saved her more times than she could've count.
"Arizona!"
Callie froze looking at her daughter getting off of Mark's back and run toward the woman on the wheel chair.
Arizona was being wheeled from her room to her PT session by Dr. Karen when she saw Callie walking with some guy holding a little girl on his back.
From where she was she couldn't see the faces clearly, she only recognized Callie because she could never forget her face and recognize her a mile away.
To her it looked like the picture perfect happy family. He heart broke knowing that it wasn't her that made Callie smile. She used to be that person but not anymore. And just like that her anger came back too.
She was praying for Alex to make a turn and not pass them. The more closer she got, the more Arizona realized that her prayer weren't being heard.
She was opting for pretending to not see them and turn her head to the other side when she heard a little girl's voice call her name. The next thing she knew she was being tackled in a hug that could've rebroke her ribs.
"Hey kid!" Arizona exclaimed when she realized that it was Sofia.
"I missed you!" The little girl said before hugging the blonde once again.
They were broken out of their embrace by the sound of a throat clearing next to them.
Looking up Arizona saw Callie standing next to them with an unreadable mask on her face.
"Mommy look that's my friend Arizona!" Sofia said getting off of Arizona's lap. The little girl unaware of the sudden tension.
Arizona sat there not saying anything just looking at the little girl interact with her mother. The only person who treated Arizona like a normal person was Callie's little girl.
"Sofi go with Mark so we can take your cast off." Callie said to her daughter trying as hard as she could to not make a scene.
"But Mom, I missed Arizona!" The little girl poured hoping that her mother would cave and let her spend some more time with her blonde friend.
"Now Sofia." Callie said sternly. Sofia knew that she couldn't argue when her mother gave her that look and so she sadly waved at Arizona before going to join Mark.
Callie turned to Arizona with fire in her eyes.
"Call-"
"Save it!" Callie cut her off making Arizona flinched. She had never in her life seen Callie this mad. "Stay. Away. From. My. Daughter."
Arizona looked stunned as Callie turned around walking toward her daughter who was waiting with Mark.
"Wow, that was intense!"
"Shut up Karev" Arizona had completely forgot that he was here until he opened his mouth.
She sighed and closed her eyes letting Alex wheel her to her PT session.
To say Callie was beside herself was an understatement. She tried to hide it in front of her daughter but it was getting harder the more her daughter kept talking about how awesome her friend Arizona was. About all the things they had in common and how sad she was because her friend was hurt.
All this happened while Mark stood there uselessly wiggling his eyebrows every time Sofia mentioned Arizona.
Even though anyone could've removed her daughter's cast she wanted to be the one to do it. As soon as it was removed she kissed her daughter's forehead and left her with Mark. He had to be useful for something.
She stomped her way down to where she knew Arizona was. She opens the door with so much force that it recloses itself.
The people who were in the room jumped from the noise and turned toward the fury Latina.
"Leave." Callie said to the physician helping Arizona.
He was about to argue but one look from the brunette and he reclosed his mouth before leaving.
The blonde was standing at the bar using all the force she had not to fall. It was harder than she thought especially with only one functioning arm.
She didn't look at Callie when she stormed in the room. She didn't want to look at her, it hurt too much. She knew she promised her brother she would talk the her but she barely saw her twice already and she was on the verge of breaking down, there's no telling what state she'll be in once they talk.
She struggled to make the few steps to her wheel chair without falling on her face. She almost tripped on her feet but was able to regain enough balance to throw herself on the wheel chair.
Callie felt bad for the struggling blonde but it only was for a seconde before she was back to being more than furious at her.
"How dare you?!" She all but yelled at the blonde who snapped her head up to look Callie in the eyes. "After all this time, how dare you come back in my life and Sofia's life?"
"Callie-" Arizona was about to ask her what she was talking about, she didn't do anything. She didn't even know that Sofia was Callie's daughter but the brunette cut her off harshly.
"Shut up! You don't get to talk! This time I'm the one talking!" Callie said getting even more furious because she knew that once the blonde opened her mouth she would try to sweet talk herself out of trouble. "Do you know how long it took me to get over you? How long I cried myself to sleep? How hard it was for me to raise Sofia on my own? How hard it is to me to lie to her every time she asks me about her other parent?" She took her breath and wipe the traitorous tears that had fallen on her cheek and ignoring the loom of surprise on Arizona's face. "You have no idea what Sofia and i went through these last six year. So I'm asking you again how dare you come back in my life and worm yourself in my daughter's life when you didn't care about her six years ago? How dare you come back when I finally have my life on track, when I think that I can finally be happy without you and when Sofia starts to realized that maybe having only one parent using that bad after all?" Callie finished out of breath and feeling completely drained from her outburst. She didn't mean to talk this much or reveal so much to Arizona about how she struggled. But once she opened her mouth the words started flowing out without any help of her part. To be honest it felt good to finally get all the things she wanted to say to Arizona for all things years to her face. It felt like weight had been lifted. It was only a small part of all the things she wanted to tell her but it was a start.
She looked at Arizona who had tears down her cheeks and Callie felt some sort of satisfaction for making the blonde cry. She knew it was bad but she couldn't help how she felt.
"I... Sofia is my child?" The blonde asked looking down. She couldn't believe it, it wasn't possible, she would've known. She couldn't have missed six years of her daughter's life, not even knowing that she existed.
Callie laughed making Arizona look at her. "Nice of you to wake up six years later, Arizona!" The brunette sarcastically replied. "What gave it away her blonde hair or her perky personality?"
"Sofia is my kid?" The blonde asked again. She wasn't asking Callie this time, she was trying to process everything in her head. She didn't know what she was feeling. Joy for having a kid with Callie, for knowing that it was Sofia with whom she felt something for the little girl. Sadness for only knowing it now, for missing six years of her child's life, for missing her birth, her first steps, her first words. But above all she felt anger for Callie hiding her daughter's existence from her, for disappearing without a word with her child not letting her the chance to get to know her.
Callie was still talking acting as if it was Arizona who was in fault, as if it was the blonde who abandoned her daughter when in reality she didn't even know she exited!
"How. Dare. You?!" The blonde yelled using all her strength and anger to stand up and walk to Callie pointing her finger to the brunette's chest with each word. "How dare you hide from me that I have a child? How dare you blame me when you are the one who stopped fighting for us. I might be the one who left first but I tried to fix it and to keep in touch, I left to protect you, I didn't have a choice but you just left with no reason! You left and took my daughter, my own flesh while I was risking my life because I was trying to protect you!" Arizona yelled at the brunette who looked at her stunned. She didn't understand what Arizona was talking about. How was she not aware of Sofia's existence when she left her tons of messages and letters to let her know. To beg her to come home to them.
Something wasn't right, they needed to sit down and talk but the blonde was in no condition to talk. And Callie didn't know how they could talk now. Every thing was still so fresh.
She looked at the blonde slumping back to her wheel chair exhausted. "I can't believe you" Arizona said drained from the days events.
"I have to go but we need to talk and soon." Callie started, she knew now was not the time bor the place to get everything out, especially with all the misunderstanding that it seems to have. "I didn't lie to you Arizona, I tried to call you, to write you, I even went to your house for god sake" Callie tried to defend herself. She took advantage of the blonde being to weak to talk . "Someone lied to you, to us Arizona but I never lied to you."
"If you didn't lie, then who did?"
Callie didn't answer right away, she was thinking about all the person who knew that she was pregnant and who had contact with Arizona. It felt like a bulb went off and her breath hitched when she remembered who the person who told her that Arizona didn't want anything to do with her.
"you should talk to your parents Arizona." Callie finally answers the blonde.
Arizona looked at her with confusion and then her look changed to something that made Callie think that the blonde understood what she was insinuating.
She casted one last look at Arizona before she went to leave the door.
"I want to see my daughter." Arizona said making Callie falter in her steps.
Callie didn't say anything, she didn't even turn around, she only faintly nodded showing the blonde that she heard her before she left the room.
She went in there to try and make Arizona get out of her life for good but now it seemed that things were even more complicated than they were before...
