Chapter 7
The next morning Arizona woke up to the sound of her alarm. Slowly stretching her tired body she felt a warm body lying next to her, one arm lying over the blondes stomach. Arizona turned her head to see curly hair on the pillow beside hers.
With a smile on her face, she roll on her side to take the brunet in her arm and wake her up with a big kiss on her cheek. Not getting any response she started to tickle the heavy sleeper.
"STOP IT! Please, Mommy! I´m awake" Sofia said with a sleepy laugh.
"Good morning munchkin, bad dream again?" Arizona asked her daughter. Past weeks it happened a couple of times that Sofia would have a bad dream and came into her mothers bed during the night. Sometimes the blonde woke up due to the noise but last night she didn´t hear her daughter.
"mhh, I don´t remember. I just woke up and wanted to come here."
"That´s alright, your cuddles are the best!"
"I´m hungry mommy. Can we have pancakes?"
"You know you can always talk to me, alright? I love you so, so much and I don´t want that anything is bothering you."
"I know mommy, I love you too. I promise I´ll tell you when I have a bad dream."
Getting out of bed, Sofia run to her room to get ready for the day while Arizona took a quick shower before making pancakes and some fruits. Arizona was proud of her daughter, she knew her routine and was always ready on time, of course some days were more difficult than others but knowing that Sof was Callie´s baby, it could be a lot worse.
The duo shared a lovely breakfast, Sofia was still excited about the night before and rambled on and on about the dance party.
"...but mommy, next time we dance and your leg hurts, you need to tell me."
Before Arizona was able to say something Sofia continued…
"You can always talk to me too. I ain´t no baby anymore!" the little brunet finished proudly.
"Ah don´t remind me, it feels like yesterday when I hold you in my arms and changed your di…
"Mommy!"
"Alright, alright. I´m just kidding. I know you´re a big girl and I´m proud how great you are!"
Arizona said, standing up to give her baby girl a little kiss.
A few minutes later the blonde took Sofia to school, stopping in front of the building,
"Momma will pick you up today, okay munchkin?"
"Yea, See you tomorrow mommy. Love you!" Sof gave the blonde a quick kiss before jumping out of the car.
A few hours later Arizona found herself hiding in an on call room, staring at her phone.
Just moving her thump over the screen to unlock the device. It showed 8 Text messages and two missed calls from a certain brunet.
Clicking on Callie´s profile picture, she smiled before getting lost in her thoughts.
It was the picture Callie sent with Sofia in the back, the blonde remembered what Callie wrote under the picture "You´re missing"
Flashback…
"Don´t think, just feel"
Feeling Callie´s lips once again, Arizona was lost, she let go of her doubts and thoughts and just allowed herself to feel.
She felt Callie´s cheek, her soft skin on her hands before she moved her hand through long dark hair and feeling soft curls.
The blonde felt Callie´s tongue slowly moving over her bottom lip before opening her mouth and feeling the brunet´s tongue on her own.
Arizona could feel that it wasn´t just a kiss, this was love, home, forgiveness, this was a new beginning, a restart.
The blonde pulled Callie closer, leaning back into the couch so Callie was almost on top of her. She wanted to feel more, she felt the brunet´s body pressed on hers, this was the closest the two of them have been in years.
Arizona slowly moved one hand down the brunet´s back just stopping before reaching her ass, she moved her hand till reaching Callie´s top and sneaking her hand underneath the fabric. The movement was so slow it was almost killing her but she wanted to feel, everything, and feeling Callie´s warm skin on her hand almost made her lose control.
Feeling Callie´s lips now moving over her cheek down to her neck, while the brunet´s left hand reached underneath Arizona´s top and touched her stomach, made her moan in pleasure.
"God Arizona, you´re so beautiful." Callie said, now looking into big blue eyes.
Before Arizona could say anything, she saw the brunet standing up and holding out her hand.
"What are you doing?" the blonde asked confused.
"Trust me"
And with that the taller woman pulled Arizona up and led her to the bedroom.
Standing in front of the bed Callie turned to face the blonde. Not saying anything, because words could never be enough, Callie closed the short distance. Putting her hands on Arizona´s hips, she leaned in and connected their lips once again in an emotional kiss.
Pulling back Callie said
"Lay with me, Arizona"
"What?" the blonde didn´t expect that.
"Lay with me, please. I want to hold you. Believe me there is so much more I want to do to you right now but tonight isn´t about sex. It´s about reconnecting. So will you please lay here with me for a while. I won´t stay the night because of Sofia but I just want to lay here and not worry."
"Okay" the blonde smiled
"I´ll be right back" Arizona said before heading to the bathroom.
Returning to her bedroom a few minutes later she found the brunet sitting on her bed, looking a little nervous.
"You Okay?"
Callie looked up and saw her ex wife in an over sized shirt and shorts. "She is so beautiful" the brunet thought to herself.
Arizona walked over to her bed and got comfortable in her usual spot.
Callie only watched the blonde getting settled, but when she saw a little nod of Arizona´s head with a big dimpled smile, she finally lay down next to her. Turning on her side Callie put one arm around the blonde and pulled her in a little more.
The room fell silent for a long time, neither of them knew how long they stayed in that position and it didn´t matter because they were comfortable.
"Hey" Arizona got pulled out of her thoughts. Looking up to see an angry looking Latina. She didn´t even hear the door open and close.
"Hey" the peds surgeon replied shyly.
"Are you hiding from me?" Callie didn´t waste any time and went straight to the point.
"No...I´m...I´m just resting" Arizona tried.
"Okay then, but why are you ignoring my texts?"
"I´m sorry Callie."
"About what? About ignoring me today or are you sorry about what you gonna tell me?" the ortho doc knew something was up.
"Last night was..."
"A mistake?" Callie questioned.
"Not a mistake, but..." Arizona didn´t get the chance to finish.
"You regret it, don´t you? How could I think that we could start over. I´m so stupid… You regret it and now you want to go back to be just co parents for Sofia. Didn´t you feel what I felt last night Arizona? It was awesome...yea awesome because it finally felt like home holding you in my arms.
You fell asleep in my arms last night Arizona and I almost didn´t want to leave you alone because right where I was last night, is where I belong.
So please, if you don´t feel the same or don´t want to restart, don´t play with me."
Arizona never got the chance to speak before Callie reached for the door knob.
"Callie! Wait! It´s…."
"Think about it Arizona. I don´t regret one second from last night. And I know we have to work on us and build a new relationship but I thought I made myself clear last night, that I´m all in."
And with that the Latina was gone.
Arizona was walking up and down in the on call room, till her pager went off.
"Damn it!"
With her head down, she made her way out of the room.
"Why couldn´t she let me explain" Arizona thought to herself.
So?
