Chapter 20:

"I will fucking kill him!" said Arizona pacing the room.

The second she saw her mother she rushed out of the wheelchair and took her in her arms. She wanted to cry but she knew she needed to be strong for her mother.

It was her fault she couldn't protect her mother and now she was suffering. Teddy told her what happened to Barbara. The more she talked, the more Arizona wanted to puke and strangle her father to death. She scoffed at the word father. He was anything but a father. That man was completely and utterly crazy. Who would beat women? Who would want to beat his own daughter and wife?

It was in moments like this that she wished Tim was here. She knew he would've immediately went after their father and make him pay for what he did to their mother. She cursed herself for being weak and injured. She knew that with her training she could beat him now, she wasn't the fresh weak diplomed girl. Now she was a hard trained Marine soldier and she knew how to defend herself if need to be. But she couldn't do anything with only one good arm.

"Arizona.." She heard Callie call her name. At first she didn't answer and kept pacing but she then didn't have much of a choice when the brunette grabbed her good arm and took her to the other side of the room. "Arizona… you need to calm down." Callie said softly.

Arizona still hasn't looked at her, her gaze focused on the ground trying to control her breathing. When she looked up at the brunette she had tears in her eyes. "How do you want me to calm down when all this is my fault?" She asked Callie, angry at herself.

"This is not your-"

"It is!" Arizona cut her off. "I shouldn't have left her alone, I knew how violent he was and I failed her. I failed the only person I have left." She knew it was weird for him to leave when she asked him without a fight and now she knew why and it was her mother who was paying for it.

"You couldn't have known what he would've done and even then you were in no condition to help her. You could hardly move Arizona." Callie started taking a step closer to the blonde. "But now you can help her, she needs you more than anything. The kind of trauma she is going though... she needs you and you can't help her in this state." Callie then did something she regretted the second she did it. She brought her hand and put it on Arizona's shoulder. The blonde immediately stepped back as if she was burnt and the brunette cursed herself. She didn't know what went through her head. She wasn't thinking.

"You think I don't know what kind of trauma she is going? I know first-hand what she is feeling right now. So don't come here and tell me what to do with my mother." With that the blonde turned around and went back to her mother's side.

It wasn't long before that the police finally arrived. Arizona stayed at her mother's side while she was giving her statement. Callie has since then left and it was only Arizona, her mother, and Teddy.

When the police asked if it was the first time that Daniel was violent both Arizona and her mom shook their heads. They both told the cops what happened a week ago when Arizona got her memory back , as well as what happened to them a long time ago.

The police thanked them and promised them that they would do anything in their power to find him and put him away.

Once alone, Teddy sensed the shift in the room and excused herself leaving mother and daughter alone.

They both looked at the other with tears in their eyes. All those years and they didn't know what the other went through. Knowing that made Arizona felt even more guilty and she couldn't help herself but take her mother in her arms and mutter apology after apology.

"Honey look at me." Barbara said disentangling herself from her daughter's embrace and taking her face in her hands. Arizona looked everywhere but her mom too ashamed to meet her eyes. "Come on sweetie..."Barbara asked again lifting her daughter's face towards her.

Once Arizona looked at her mother, Barbara gave her a weak smile trying to reassure her but judged by the frown on Arizona's face it wasn't working. "Stop apologizing, what happened wasn't your fault. You are a victim too and the only person at fault here is your father." The blonde knew what her mother was telling her was true but she couldn't help feeling responsible for her mother's state.

"I promise you mom he'll pay! I'll never let him hurt you or come near you ever again." Arizona said determinedly "It's just you and I now" She said gently kissing her mother's forehead.

Barbara smiled but then looked at her with a look Arizona couldn't quite read. "What?" She asked her.

"Did you talk to Calliope, honey?" Arizona took a step back and settled comfortably on the bed next to her mother who did the same. She had an idea what her mother wanted to talk about and she wanted to be as comfortable as possible.

"I did." came Arizona's short answer. When she didn't continue her mother gave her a look as if to say 'Well go on I'm waiting' and she sighed knowing that she couldn't get away from it. "I know about Sofia and I know what you think." Barbara was about to talk when Arizona signaling with her hand to let her finish. "I also know that you talked to Callie, and before you start yelling at me for abandoning my pregnant girlfriend and then letting her raise my child without telling you, I want to say that I didn't know." Arizona stopped talking and took a deep breath before continuing. "I didn't know she was pregnant and I didn't leave her it was all dad's fault. He forced me to leave. When he attacked me that night he also threatened Calliope and I had no other choice." By now Arizona was crying and she couldn't keep looking at her mother. She was reliving it all over again. "I just wanted to protect her mom. I wanted to protect you too but in the end you both suffered more than you should have to. And now I have a daughter and… and… I'm scared mom…" The blonde finshed practically sobbing by now.

"Oh my sweet baby…" Barbara said with tears in her eyes before taking her daughter in her arms.

They spent the afternoon talking, Barbara trying to calm Arizona's insecurities and Arizona telling her mom all about Sofia. How she had already met her but both of them didn't how they were related. How she was beautiful and was the perfect mix of Callie and her. Barbara told her how she couldn't wait to meet her first grandchild, something she hadn't imagined would ever happen.

They talked about everything and anything, restoring the bond they once had. A bond that had been broken because of the Colonel.

At the end of the day Barbara went to stay at Teddy's apartment before the police could catch Daniel.

Arizona wanted her to stay with her in her hospital room but Teddy told her that it wouldn't be comfortable for her mother and that she didn't need to worry because as long as she was with Teddy she wouldn't let anything happen to her.

Arizona couldn't wait for her father to be behind bars and out of their life for good.

That night after dinner, Teddy and Barbara were sitting on the couch watching TV. Even though it seemed that they were watching it, both of them weren't paying attention to what was happening, too busy in their thoughts.

Teddy had been going over all the ways she could tell Barbara that she was pregnant and none of them seemed good enough. It was driving her crazy to the point she couldn't wait anymore and just wanted to blurt it out so she could be over it.

She turned to face Barbara. The movement caught the older woman's attention who turned her head and looked at Teddy curiously.

Teddy was about to open her mouth when she felt the wave of nausea come crashing down on her. Took everything she had in her to close her mouth back and run to the bathroom to empty her stomach.

When she came back she found a very concerned Barbara waiting for her. "I'm sorry it usually doesn't happen this late." She said and when she saw Barbara's eyes widened she knew that the older woman just put two and two together and she wanted to slap herself for being so stupid.

"Oh my God!" Barbara said bringing her hands to her mouth and tears falling down her face. "Are you…?" She barely managed to get out and Teddy could only nod before Barbara was running to her and taking her in her arms.

At least one good thing happened today.

A month later:

Callie was looking at her daughter playing in her room. She was off today and she thought that now would be a good time to finally talk to her daughter. Arizona's recovery was almost complete and it would only be a matter of time before she wanted to see Sofia.

She was toying with the picture she found under Sofia's pillow and thought that it would be a good way to bring up the talk.

Arizona and her hadn't talked since the blonde's outburst a month ago. It wasn't that she was avoiding her she just didn't have the time. The person she was avoiding was her current girlfriend. Since she stormed out of the elevator things hadn't been really good between them. Kate kept pushing Callie to talk and the brunette kept avoiding the talk. At first it was with sex but when it stopped working she started avoiding the redhead altogether. She wanted to tell her, she just didn't know how to tell her or how she would react.

"Mommy, you came to play wif me?" Sofia asked when she noticed her mother standing at her doorway.

"Not today sweetie, I came to talk to you."

Callie walked inside and settled on her daughter's bed patting the spot next to her. She didn't have to wait long before Sofia came running and sat next to her giving her mother all of her attention.

Callie took a deep breath, it was now or never.

"Do you know what this is?" She asked the little girl handing her the picture. She saw Sofia took it and her eyes widened when she recognized what it was. She didn't say anything waiting for her mother to scold her. "Sofia look at me baby." She waited until the little girl did before continuing. "I'm not mad honey, I just wanted to know if you know what it was and why you slept with it." Callie said stroking her little girl's face. She could see the tension leaving Sofia's shoulder making her shoulders drop a little.

"It was an accident mommy, I didn't snoop in your room and I kept it because you look very, very happy in it." Sofia said looking back at the picture.

"What make you say that?" Callie asked genuinely curious.

"Your eyes, they have stars in them and the girl has them too but now you don't have them." Sofia said matter of factly.

Callie was speechless, she didn't know what she was supposed to say to that. It broke her heart knowing that her daughter didn't think she was happy and she didn't know what she could do to make her think otherwise beside trying to show her that she was very happy with her. "You make me happy baby girl." She said taking her daughter in her lap.

"Do you remember when you asked if you had another parent?" Callie asked, it was time to get to the point. Sofia only nodded a sad look crossed her face. "Well I lied when I said you didn't have another." Sofia snapped her head so fast it would've given anyone whiplash. "Do you recognize the other person in the picture with me?" Callie asked.

Sofia looked like she was thinking something hard before she nodded her head no but not without adding. "she reminds me of Arizona." With only those simple little words Callie's heart stopped for a second before restarting frantically.

"Well it is Arizona."

"What?! Really?" Sofia asked excitedly. Callie just positively nodded. "Mommy this is so cool! Arizona is awesome!"

Ok this was too hard for Callie. She didn't know how to do it, how to tell her. "would you like for Arizona to be your other mommy?" Callie finally asked and the answer she received wasn't at all what she had been expecting.

"I already asked her but she said the she was to broken to be anyone's mommy." The little girl said innocently, her happy face replaced by a sad face.

"I.. uh.." Callie opened and closed her mouth a few times. What the hell was Sofia talking about? When did she had the time to ask Arizona to be her mother. She needed to talk with the blonde as soon as possible. "I know sweetie." No she didn't "But now she is all fixed and she wants to be your mommy, would you like that?" Sofia looked at her with her big brown eyes and nodded her head.

"Yes, yes! I love you mommy!"She said jumping in her mom's arms. "I love you too sweetie"

"Okay now, lay down and let me tell you a story." She said smiling at her little girl happy that the talk went well and seeing her daughter happy. The little girl immediately complied and Callie didn't waste time laying next to her, wrapping her arms around her little girl. "A long, long time ago. Arizona and I love each other very much. We loved each other so much that we had to much love for only the two of us. Then you came so we could share our love with you. But while you were growing in my tummy,

Arizona had to leave to save little children like you. She didn't know you were in my tummy and I couldn't contact her. But then she came back but she was broken and when she was fixed I told her about what our love created and she was so very happy. Now she can't wait to see you again." By the time Callie finished Sofia was fast asleep. Callie kissed her forehead and stood up.

She knew that it wouldn't be so easy and that Sofia would soon start asking questions. She just hope her and Arizona would be able to work together to make their little girl happy.
