Chapter 3

The following morning Callie tried her best to not show her bad mood to Sofia.

They were sitting at the kitchen counter enjoying breakfast. Obviously, Callie was happy to have her daughter and starting the day together. It didn´t happen often past weeks. So it made her smile to see the little brunet all sleepy and not quite ready for her day to start. They were just too much alike.

Even though Callie put a smile on her face to hide her worries about a certain blonde, the ortho doc couldn´t help but drift off and think back to what happened last night. She mentally slapped her forehead. "How could you be so stupid" she thought to herself.

"Momma, we need to go or else I´ll be late!" Callie was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard her daughter panic.

"I´m sorry Munchkin! Are you ready?"

"Yea, let´s go! Mommy will go mad when Ms. Miller tells her I was late." Sofia stated, not wanting to get in any trouble.

"She won´t be mad and you´ll be there right on time."

They basically run to the car and Callie maybe drove a little faster than she would normally do but also the Latina didn´t want to get in trouble with her ex wife. And luckily they made it on time.

"I seriously shouldn´t add more trouble than I already have" Callie said to herself, watching Sofia walking into school.

When Callie arrived back home, she went straight to her bedroom to check her phone.

Last night she tried to call Arizona a few times to apologize to her but the blonde never answered the calls, so she sent some texts saying she was sorry but she also didn´t get any response.

The brunet was hoping to find any missed calls or text messages, but there was only one text from Addison. Disappointed, she tossed her phone on the bed and walked to the living room.

It was her first day off in a week and Callie planed to finally clean up her apartment.

A few hours later and satisfied with her her work, she had just enough time to take a little nap before picking up Sof.

Arizona spent a sleepless night alone in her new apartment. She liked the place though, but it just doesn´t feel like home yet. So when she finished her breakfast, she just wanted to leave.

The blonde needed to think. "Maybe it was all a mistake" she thought to herself while walking through the park. The other day when she was outside with Sofia, she found a perfect little bench.

After sitting there and thinking, she realized that she needed to talk to someone. She felt lonely and misunderstood.

Pulling out her phone she dialed the number and waited.

"Robbins! Seriously, I´m taking good care of your tiny humans here. You don´t need to check everyday." Alex said, thinking that once again, Arizona wanted to make sure everything is fine.

"Karev. Shut up! I need you to listen and talk to me. Nothing about tiny humans today but about me and me constantly messing things up."

"What happened?" Alex asked

"We had a fight last night."

"About what? You´re in New York for just a few weeks, what could you two probably be fighting about."

"Callie thinks I´m spoiling Sofia, because I took her shopping three times in three weeks. Alex, I know it´s not that good and I normally never do such a thing but it felt so good to finally see Sof happy and enjoying the time with me."

"Are you serious right now?"

"Well, Yea! That´s what Callie said to me last night. She actually made me sit down like I´m a kid."

"Okay Robbins listen, that´s just bullshit. You two were married, you have an 8 year old daughter, you should act a bit more like adults. Sit down and talk to her."

"But Alex, Callie can´t understand how I´m feeling. I….." Arizona didn´t get the chance to finish.

"Explain it to her, Arizona. Don´t let these little things build up. Sit down and tell her what´s going on in that head of yours and give her the chance to apologize."

"I miss you, sometimes, at least." Arizona said with a smile on her lips. She sure missed her friend.

"Let me know, when you talked to Callie and give the munchkin a hug."

"Thank you Alex"

"Bye"

Feeling a little bit better Arizona made her way back to the apartment but stopping for some lunch as she felt hungry.

Back in her living room the peds surgeon once again started to get bored. She hated to be off work for so long. It was still 2 weeks till her new job started and she felt like she was missing out.

All the reading and research she does just wasn´t good enough. Not wanting to get back into her bad mood, Arizona closed her book and decided to watch some TV before Sofia comes home.

It was now 6.55pm and Arizona wondered if Callie would be here on time. The talk with Alex made her feel better but she was not quite ready to talk to her ex wife about last night and if Callie would be late, she knew there would be the next argument. The blonde hated nothing more than being late, specially when it came to the nightly routine for her daughter as Sofia was just like Callie and it was already hart enough to get Sof out of bed every morning.

Arizona took another look on her phone to check the time. It was 6.59pm when she heard soft knocks. Opening her apartment door she found two brunets, both smiling to her.

"Mommy!" Sofia gave her mother a tight hug.

"Hey little miss. How was your day?"

"Good! We have a surprise for you!" The 8 year old stated in excitement.

"Really. What is it?" Arizona wondered looking between Sofia and Callie.

"Can I come in?" Callie asked, not quite confident.

"Sure. So, Sof would you tell me my surprise?"

"Momma and I made dinner for you! It´s your favorite Chicken Piccata and we will all have dinner together."

Before the blonde could respond to that Callie said…

"I hope you didn´t cook already, I should of checked with you first but I really want to make up for last night."

Arizona didn´t say anything to Callie, the least she expected was to have dinner with her ex wife tonight and she wasn´t sure if she wanted to.

"Hey Munchkin, why don´t you go ahead get cleaned up while I set the table and then we eat."

"Okay" Sofia took of running to the bathroom.

"I´m sorry, Arizona. Not just about last night but also about dinner. I understand if you don´t want me here. I messed up...again" Callie said almost ashamed of herself.

"You´re right I don´t really want to spend dinner with you though, but how can I say no when Sof is looking forward to it." Arizona said in a cold voice.

"Don´t worry I´ll just leave you two alone. I hope you…." Callie couldn´t finish

"What? Why are you leaving Mamma? Sofia questioning with a pout on her lips.

Both adults mentally kicking their self as they realize that their daughter overheard the talk.

"I need to leave, you enjoy dinner with mommy, baby girl" Callie tried

"But you said you don´t need to work and we would make mommy smile with the surprise dinner" the young girl stated almost with tears in her eyes.

"Callie don´t you think it will be alright when you just stay a little longer till we finish dinner?" Arizona played, not being able to see her daughter sad.

"Please Momma" Sofia almost bagged

Before Callie spoke she looked over to Arizona, silently asking for permission. She was happy to see the blond nodding her head.

"Alright little Miss, I´ll stay"

"YAY"

As Sofia started to set the table the divorced couple was in the kitchen getting the food ready.

"We will talk, just not tonight. I need some time" Arizona whispered so only Callie could hear.

"That´s alright, I´m really sorry Arizona. Please don´t pull away. I was stupid"

"Maybe we can get together when Sof is in school some day to talk uninterrupted?" the blonde asked, feeling bad about Sofia hearing the conversation earlier.

"Let´s have dinner and later you text me what day we can meet." Arizona said as she made her way to the table where Sofia sat waiting on her moms to join her.

Thanks for your reviews. Let me know what you think.
