chapter 22:

Arizona Robbins, November 22nd 2015:

"No!"

"Oh come Arizona, don't be a child!" Teddy said exasperated. She watch as her friend shoved the few things she had in a duffel bag.

"I said no!" The blonde vehemently. "You've already done so much for me already Teddy." She said once she was calmed down, looking at her friend.

"You would've done the same for me Arizona. Come on don't be like that." She's been arguing with the blonde for a while now, trying to convince Arizona to come stay at her place. But Arizona didn't want to, saying that it would only cause trouble to Teddy and that she would stay at the hotel with her mother. "Look, your mother is already at my place and you can barely take care of yourself. Come stay at my place and I'll help you look for a place." Teddy tried to compromise. She knew that when Arizona made up her mind it was hard to make her change it. She watched as Arizona struggled, probably weighing the pros and cons.

"Fine." Came the blonde's answer and Teddy sighed relieved. A big smile breaking over her face. "But you help me find a place for me and my mom right away." The blonde said lifting her hand stopping Teddy from jumping on her.

"Deal." Teddy squealed before jumping anyway. "It will be like old times!" Arizona couldn't help but smile, it was the first time that she saw her best friend genuinely happy since she woke up from her coma.

"Yeah except we can't be as wild since you're pregnant and my mom will be there."

"Always ruining the mood, for a blonde you're no fun." Teddy scoffed teasingly making Arizona faux gasp.

"You broke my heart Teddy Altman." Arizona replied bringing her hand to her chest. She smiled having missed this playful banter between her and her friend. She was glad that things were finally brightening up for them.

Soon after Barbara came and after signing her released papers, Arizona left the hospital for the first time after three months of hospitalization. They had to fight for her to leave in a wheel chair. If it wasn't for Barbara giving Arizona a sharp look, they would've probably walked.

Arizona was getting settled in Teddy's guest room that she would be sharing with her mother since Teddy only had one spare bedroom.

She turned around when she heard someone clearing their throat.

"Hey." she said to Teddy who responded the same before jumping on the bed and watching as Arizona was put her clothes away. "What?" Arizona asked. She knew Teddy wanted to say something, she could see it on her face. However, the dirty blonde haired woman just shrugged and kept following Arizona with her eyes. "Whatever you want to say, just spit it out. You are driving me crazy looking at me like that." Arizona finished and threw the duffel bag on the ground before settling next to her friend careful of her still injured arm.

"I… uh… I wanted to know if you would like to go with me to the hospital tomorrow?" Arizona frowned and turned her head to look at Teddy. She wasn't expecting her to say this and she was more than confused.

"Why? Are you ok? Is the baby ok?" Arizona can't help but thing of every horrible scenario of her friend or the baby.

"Yeah… no everything's fine. It's just… I have my first ultrasound Tomorrow and I didn't want to go alone. I already asked your mother and she said she'll come too." Teddy immediately reassured Arizona. "Since you are both the only family I have I wanted to have you both with me." Her voice cracked at the end and Arizona looked at her with a sad smile on her face.

She knew that Teddy's parents died a long time ago and she was an only child. Her chest ached thinking of how her child's father, her brother, died and he'll never be able to witness any of this. He would be missing the entire life of his child. She knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help but be grateful that she would finally be a part of her daughter's life even if it was six years later.

"Of course I'll come with you! I can't wait to see my little nephew or niece!" Arizona exclaimed engulfing Teddy in a bear hug.

Callie Torres, same day:

She checked one last time that everything was good before running to the shower. She had invited Kate to dinner at her place. At first the red head was reluctant but when Callie told her that she was ready to talk, Kate told her that she would be thereat 7 pm. She had been avoiding her long enough and if she wanted their relationship to last she needed to be honest with her.

Since the day she told sofia about Arizona, the little girl had been over the moon. Callie had never seen her this happy. She kept asking her when she would be able to finally see her and ask her question about her much to Callie's dismay.

Every night she would ask Callie to tell her a story about Arizona, how they met, what she was like when she was young, what she did when she was away, what she liked, and what Callie liked about her.

To say it was hard for Callie was an understatement. It has always been hard for Callie to talk about Arizona after she left. She was lucky that no one knew her in Seattle, and the only people probing her about the blonde were her parents and her sister. She tried her best to swallow the anger she harbored for Arizona those last six years and remember all the things she used to lo-like about her. She tried to give her a good image and not ruin her daughter's perception of her mother.

So every night, Callie would tell Sofia how amazing Arizona is. How Arizona always used to protected her, made her laugh, and cares for others. She told her how she was an awesome soldier doctor who helped children all over the world. Sofia would look at her with her big brown eyes full of stars. Seeing that look made her anger for the blonde diminished a little but it was still there and she knew it wouldn't leave her until she asked all the questions that were eating at her to the blonde, until she understood exactly what happened six years ago.

She finished her shower quickly and put on a black dress with high heels. By the time she finished doing her hair she heard a knock at the door. She ran down the stairs and opened the door to the redhead.

When she opened the door, Kate was standing awkwardly with a bottle of wine in her hands. Kate gave her a small smile and handed her the bottle.

"It's your favorite." Kate said before Callie invited her to come inside.

Things were awkward and it made Callie even more nervous about what she was about to say to the redhead.

They ate and had small talk like they have been doing for the last month and Callie could see that Kate was getting impatient, wanting Callie to open up. Every time she opened her mouth to start the small talk she could see the hope Kate would get on her face and then go as soon as Callie was started talking about something stupid, like the weather.

"Why am I here Callie?" Kate finally asked her when they finished eating and Callie was showing no sign of wanting to start the talk.

Callie sighed, she knew Kate wouldn't be patient forever and would sooner or later get tired of waiting.

"How about I clean this while you go settle on the couch and then we'll talk?" She asked instead. She knew she was trying to delay the talk to the maximum and Kate knew it too, but still, Kate nodded and stood up to go to the couch.

"I know I have been acting weird lately-" Callie started once she settled next to Kate on the couch but stopped when the redhead scoffed. "Look I'm trying to open up, I don't need you to make things even more harder than they already are." Callie said annoyed at Kate behavior.

"I'm sorry. I'm listening."

"Like I said, I know I have been weird and I have no excuse for the way I have been treating you. You have been nothing but patient and understanding and I just kept pushing you away." She took a deep breath getting ready for what she was about to say. She could see that Kate was looking at her, her deep green eyes focused. "Something unexpected happened, some truth came out in the open and I didn't know how to deal with it, I still don't. I just needed time to just try to understand and come to terms with it." She knew what she just said didn't help at all, it just gave more questions and judging by the look on Kate's face she was right. Before the redhead could start bombarding her with question she hurried herself to explain. "Sofia's mother is in Seattle." She hurriedly said.

Kate was staring at her, jaw on the floor. Callie let what she said sink in. She could see the gear turning in her head and she knew that soon, Kate would start asking her a lot of questions.

However, she was surprised when she only asked her one question. "When?" Even though it was only a one-word question, Callie knew that when she answered all hell would break loose.

"Early September."

"Three months? You waited three months before telling me the woman who broke your heart, the mother of your child was back?!" Kate asked her voice raising and standing up from the couch.

"Look I know I have no excuse-" Callie said standing up too.

"Damn right you don't!" Kate interrupted her. "You lied to me all this time. You pushed me away when I just wanted you to open up to me. I love you Callie-"

"-And I love you too!" Callie hurried trying to fix this mess. This wasn't at all how she wanted things to happen. Yes, she knew that Kate would be mad but not like this. She had never seen her this mad.

"Do you?" Kate retorted just as fast. "Because when people love each other, they trust the other with everything and don't lie to them. They communicate! All the things you stopped doing for the last three months!" When Kate finished her outburst she was breathless and Callie was looking at her with her jaw on the floor. She didn't know what to say, didn't know what to do to fix this.

"But I'm telling you now." Callie knew it was a weak attempt and that it probably wouldn't work but it wouldn't hurt to try right?

"It's a little too late for that." Kate said sadly before walking to the door.

Callie looked as Kate walked away her back to her before she was taken by a sudden surge of panic and called after her. "Wait!" She ran until she was standing between Kate and the door. "Don't leave me! You said you wanted to talk!"

"I don't know what else to say to you, Callie." Kate said gently pushing Callie to the side before opening the front door. "I just need time to figure things out." She was about to leave when she remembered something "Oh and I'm really happy that Sofia can finally meet her other mother." With that she left, leaving Callie confused and hurt.

Once she couldn't see the redhead's car, Callie closed her door and pushed her back against it. Slowly she fell to the floor. She tried with all her might to keep the tears at bay but she only needed to feel one tear fall down her cheek for the dam to open. There she sat crying like never before.

What was so wrong with her that the person she loved always ended up leaving her?

She was sleeping in their mattress. They had just moved in and they still needed to buy furniture for their new apartment. Turning to her side she patted the bed to feel for the blonde and frowned. She only found cold sheets.

She stood up and immediately crossed her arms when she fell the cold on her skin having forgotten that she was still naked from last night activities.

Quickly putting on a robe she left the bedroom and walked to look for her blonde beauty. Walking to the kitchen she stopped short to the sight that greeted her.

There was Arizona with only a t-shirt barely long enough to cover her whole ass and if Callie wasn't mistaken she had nothing under. She was apparently cooking and dancing to the loud music but Callie was too focus ogling her to care about anything else.

It wasn't until the blonde twirled around, showing Callie that she was indeed wasn't wearing anything under the t-shirt, that she finally noticed Callie standing at the doorway.

"What are you doing up?!" The blonde whined. "I was going to bring you breakfast in bed and I can't do that if you're not in bed!"

A big smile spread across Callie's face, she wondered what she did to get this lucky. Ignoring the blonde prompting to go back in bed she walked to the blonde wrapping her arms around her neck and bringing her closer to her body. Only the slim robe and t-shit preventing their skin from touching.

The blonde was about to protest once again when Callie didn't waste any time and silenced her with her lips. Arizona immediately opened her mouth and Callie didn't hesitate a second to plunge her tongue in her mouth embracing their tongues in the slowest dance.

The kiss quickly escalated and if it wasn't for the smell of burning food reminding Arizona of their surroundings, Callie would've taken her right here and then.

"Mmm… what was that for?" Arizona asked turning off the stove.

"Nothing I just love you." Callie replied dropping another quick kiss to blonde's plump lips.

After Arizona finished with the food she immediately went back to Callie's arms and wrapped her arms around her neck. The movement making their breasts rub against each other.

" I love you too baby."

Later that day they found themselves back on their mattress, wrapped in each other's arms.

"Arizona?" Callie called the half asleep woman while rubbing patterns on her stomach. She only got a mumbled as a sign that the blonde was awake enough to listen to her. "Do you think we'll be together forever?" The blonde was now wide awake and looked down at Callie who had her head on her chest.

To be honest, Callie didn't know why she asked this question, now of all times. It just happened sometimes where she thought about what her life would be if she had never met Arizona and she couldn't bare the thought of it.

"Of course! I can already see us old and grey, spoiling our grandchildren." Arizona joked even if she did really picture it.

"You promise?" She knew she was being stupid, but she just needed the reassurance.

"I promise, it's you and me no matter what. I will never leave you." The blonde simply answered. She didn't ask what prompted this talk, she knew Callie would eventually tell her about it.

She kissed the brunette's head before closing back her eyes and plunging into a deep slumber.
