So, this is alot about Sofia, but since Callie and Arizona have a daughter we can´t just leave her out, can we? ;)
Anyway I hope you like it. Please let me know.
Chapter 15
Arizona´s Apartment
The blonde was frustrated, sitting on the couch and talking to her best friend to calm down.
"Teddy, I´m telling you. It´s like she is punishing me for everything that has happened."
"Well, why don´t you not just move in already?"
"Because, I don´t want to move in cause Sofia wants it. I want to move in when Callie and I are ready. I´m not gonna let my eight year old daughter pressure me. I already moved to New York ffs."
"Jesus, Arizona calm down. I know it´s a shit situation and Sofia needs to learn that she can´t treat you like that. But until tonight, were you happy?"
"I really was." Arizona says and Teddy could hear her smile through the phone.
"That´s the most important. You and Callie are working things out but also Sofia needs to work things out with you and Callie. Obviously, tonight was the wrong way but it´s the three off you who need to find a way to deal with everything. You should of stayed and talked to her with Callie, maybe she just wanted Callie to join you two. She is a smart girl, she knows that she finally has both of her parents at the same place, so maybe she acted like a brat just to get full attention of her two mommies at the same time."
"That actually sounds like my daughter" the peds surgeon answered.
"She will come around, don´t worry."
"Soooo….Did you and Callie…" Teddy waited a second…
"Well did you, you know… pounded her cake" she finished with a laugh.
"Theodora! I´m not gonna answer that." Arizona said a little loud and Teddy could hear the smile in her voice.
"Ohhhh you totally did!"
Callie´s Apartment
The brunette needed a while to herself, to understand what just happened and how to face her daughter. She was mad at Arizona for leaving so quickly without a word but she was also mad or even more disappointed in Sofia and her behaviour. The Latina never saw her daughter acting like that before.
Knocking on Sofia´s door, she was also met with silence but she would not tolerate that anymore. Opening the door she spoke…
"Mija, would you please explain to me why your mommy left being really sad."
"Mommy wanted to go anyway." the young Latina finally says, sitting up in her bed.
"Okay, enough with this attitude now. You were raised better than that. Your mommy does not deserve to be treated like that and neither do I. You learned to act respectful and you know that you can always tell us everything but in a right way, acting like you just did is not the right way, understood?!"
"But…."
"No but! You really hurt your mommy and I want to know why?"
"She never wants to stay with us…" Sofia spoke in a low teary voice.
"What?" Callie says in surprise.
"We moved to New York but mommy was in Seattle, she didn´t want to move with us. When I was with mommy I was not nice and now mommy is here in New York with us!" the little Latina finished with a small smile.
It finally klicked in Callie´s head.
"So you thought acting bad and hurting your mommy´s feeling will make her move in with us again?"
"Mhhh..." and a little nod was all.
"Sofia, that´s not the right way. You can´t always get what you want and especially not with hurting someone´s feelings."
"I´m sorry momma"
"Well, I think you need to hear a little story about your mommy and how awesome she is."
Moving around to face her daughter Callie started….
"Without your mommy, you wouldn´t be here, Sofia…."
"I know mommy made my heart beat." the little brunette interrupted
"That´s right but not what I mean. You know, there was a time when me and your mommy had a lot of struggles which is no secret but we were fighting really really bad. Not because we didn´t love each other but just because we thought that we could not be together anymore. It was really stupid but anyway… While mommy and I were fighting, we also started to fight about you…."
"About me, why?"
"Because, even adults can be stupid sometimes." Callie says with a smile but continued…
"Sometimes you fight with Lucy about the teddy bear right? And me or your mommy need to make you two stop and say who is allowed to have the bear for ten minutes before you switch, right?"
"Yeah….I hate when you give it to Lucy first" Sofia admitted.
"I know but it´s always fair and everyone has the same time. So when mommy and I were fighting, we fought about our little teddy bear called Sofia."
"Me?"
"Yes, you. I wanted to go to New York but not without you and your mommy wanted to stay in Seattle but also not without you, so when adults fight about a child there will always get another adult involved called judge and he says where the child stays.
Do you understand that?"
"Yes, when Lucy and I are fighting you´re the judge?"
"That´s right. So the judge decided that New York was not good for you and said you should stay in Seattle with mommy."
"But we are here now?"
"Yes we are, because you have the most amazing mommy. I was really sad because I had a lot of trouble in Seattle and I thought I could be happy again in New York without so much trouble, but I could never go without you.
So just a few hours after the judge told us that you should stay in Seattle, your mommy came to me and she said "Sofia deserves to have two happy moms. You will go to New York with her and be happy and then Sofia will come back and be happy with me here"
Do you know what that means, Mija?"
"Mommy gave me back to you?" Sofia asked a little confused.
"She did, she didn´t need to but she did and you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because she loves you and me so, so much that she would be alone and sad for a little while only for you and me to be together and be happy."
"Really?" the little Latina asked with wide eyes.
"Really, so what do you think now? Isn´t your mommy the best and toughest girl in the whole world with the biggest heart?" Callie says pulling her daughter in a tight hug.
"I´m sorry momma! Mommy is the best!" and with that the little girl started to cry.
"It´s okay, Mija. We can think about a surprise for your mommy to make her smile her again okay?"
"Yes, but can we call mommy now, please? I want to say sorry and say goodnight."
"Of course baby girl"
Arizona´s Apartment
"So, when will you come visit? Teddy asked
"I didn´t speak to Callie about it yet, maybe she wants to come. I will ask her when things are sorted with Sofia."
Just when she finished her sentence her screen showed another caller-ID.
"Teddy, Callie is actually calling me right now. I need to go, sorry."
"That´s alright, speak to her but text me later and let me know please."
"Yes, bye. Text you later."
Just one swift move and she answered Callie´s call.
"Hey" somehow her mood dropped even more.
"Hey Arizona, are you okay?" Callie voice was full of concern.
"I´m sorry for leaving so fast, Callie. I should of stayed and talk to you."
"It´s okay, I´m not mad. I had a little talk with our daughter and I´m actually calling because she wants to speak to you"
"Really?" this little statement brought tears in blue eyes.
"Really. Here she is."
"Mommy? Sofia says in a small voice.
"Hey baby girl" Arizona was smiling in the phone.
"Mommy, I´m sorry. Please don´t be sad anymore. I love you."
"Oh Sofia, I love you too. I´m not sad anymore, Just talking to you makes me the happiest."
"I won´t be so bad again, I promise."
"I know, it´s alright baby girl. Don´t worry about it anymore okay?"
"Okay, I´ll see you tomorrow?
"Sure! Good night Munchkin. I love you"
"I love you too, goodnight mommy!" Sofia handed the phone back to her momma
"Hey, I´ll tell you everything tomorrow at lunch okay?" Callie asked.
"That´s alright. Thank you for calling tho." the blonde says
"Good night, I love you."
"I love you too, Calliope"
So?
It´s progress I think... they are a family.
