Chapter 18

Previously….

Walking over to the kitchen counter she sees the mail laying around, checking it, she reads

"Smith & Clark Lawyer´s Office"

"It´s for Callie, why does Callie need a lawyer" Arizona thinks to herself, starting to worry what´s going on.

Later that night, Callie finally walked into her bedroom. The surgery went long and she was exhausted. Trying to get into bed as quiet as possible, she just wanted to cuddle up with her blonde and sleep it off.

Arizona was laying in bed but her mind couldn´t rest, that´s why she was still awake waiting for Callie to join her. She immediately recognised Callie mood.

"Surgery didn´t go well?" She questioned, surprising Callie.

"You´re awake. Mhh, car accident. We lost her."

"I´m sorry."

"Can you hold me?" the brunette asks while slipping under the covers.

"Sure, just rest. I hold you."

Arizona decided not to mention the letter now, Callie was tired and they needed to talk about it, with Callie being so exhausted it would just go wrong and end in a fight. So letting it go for tonight the blonde listened to Callie breathing and felt her body relax in her arms.

But it didn´t take long for Arizona to regret her decision, the next morning, Callie was gone and since then she has hardly seen her. The Ortho doc was paged to an emergency or in surgery or even asleep every time Arizona wanted to talk to her. Something was off and Arizona realized that pretty fast as she noticed that the letter from the Lawyer´s Office just disappeared.

Today was the day they would fly to Seattle, the blonde already looking forward, even though the flying part was not her favourite, she couldn´t wait to see her friends again.

Arizona was just finishing up her charts to not leave any unfinished business behind, when she heard two nurses talking.

"It´s starting to annoy me, they weren´t even fighting that much when they were together."

"I know, it must be something really big. I walked into Dr. Torres office yesterday and I could hear her saying that she will sort out everything with her lawyer. After that Dr. Blake left looking not that happy."

The plan was to meet Callie in the Lobby in a 30 minutes, then picking up Sofia and going straight to the Airport but when Arizona overheard the talk, she couldn´t wait any longer. Closing her chart, she was heading to Callie´s office.

Not even bothering to knock she just opened the door.

Callie was sitting behind her desk, sniffing, tears running down her cheeks.

A little surprised, the blonde took a deep breath before asking.

"What´s going on Callie?" Arizona was trying hard to be calm.

"You don´t know how to knock on a door do you?" Callie snapped.

She didn´t mean to but it just came out, she wanted to avoid that conversation. She wasn´t ready to tell Arizona what´s going on and she didn´t even know how to start.

"Okay, you know what? You don´t get to be like that with me. You´ve been off for a couple of days and I know something is up so you better tell me now before I find out from some nurses talking about you and Blake."

"What?" the brunette asks in disbelieve.

"If you don´t want anybody to know your secrets you should be a little bit more discrete where you talk and try to fix your problem"

"What have you heard?"

"It doesn´t matter, I want to hear it from you."

Arizona was standing in front of Callie´s desk, hands on her hips and ready to hear the truth, Over the past few days, the peds surgeon had enough time to think about a worst case scenario and drove herself crazy. She waited, she was expecting to hear that Callie was married to Blake but instead Callie says…

"She´s pregnant" the brunette almost whispered

"What? Who?" Arizona was completely surprised.

Callie lowered her head even more and started to cry.

"Ari….Arizona. You have….you need…. Please believe me" the Latina tried to talk.

"Callie, calm down and tell me what´s going on." Seeing her lover falling apart broke her heart and until now, she still didn´t know what was going on. So walking behind the desk, she kneeled and faced Callie.

"Hey, it´s okay. Tell me."

After a minute to calm down, Callie looked into blue eyes before finally telling the truth.

"Penny is pregnant, she is trying to get me into this, she says she was already pregnant when I broke up with her."

Silence….

"I swear I didn´t know. I don´t know what´s going on. I called my lawyer already to help me and find a way to get out of this." Callie tried to explain but Arizona couldn´t follow anymore.

"Why would she do that?" she asks

"Penny is trying to make me the other mother to her baby, Arizona"

Brown eyes saw all the hurt in blue eyes, she could see that Arizona had questions but was mostly hurt. The fact that Arizona lost the baby a few years ago was a hurtful topic for both of them.

"Why?… I mean, did you want to have a baby with her, Callie?"

"It´s a long story Arizona..."

"Well, you better start telling me!" the blonde interrupted.

"I was unhappy, Penny was always working, things didn´t go well and one day she came home and said she wanted a baby. I agreed to try and we tried once but it didn´t work. We broke up after and I realised too late that Penny just tried to make me stay by having a baby. We were not okay when we started that whole thing and then it didn´t work and I was sad but not like I should be…. That´s when I realised that we were done."

"So, what now?"

"I´m talking to my lawyer and try to prove that I wasn´t a part of that baby. I have to prove that Penny got pregnant after I broke up with her."

"Okay, is that hard to prove?" Arizona questioned

"Well… It is, because I didn´t move out immediately. But Arizona, I promise you, I´ll prove it."

"I think you should….you should stay here and sort it out. Sofia and I will go to Seattle, that should give you some time and space to get everything sorted." the blonde spoke with a low voice, you can hear the hurt in her voice.

"No, babe please let me go with you. I don´t want to be alone."

"But I think I want to be, Callie." Tears rolling down.

"What?"

"I think I need to be alone. Callie, the past days I was worrying, I even thought you are married to her. Which would probably be even better than that. I saw a letter from your lawyer a few days ago and it disappeared. You did everything you could to hide this from me until now. And I have to be honest now, coming to New York I was ready to face everything with you, I wanted us. I love you.

I´ve loved you so much that you made me wanting kids. Everything changed with you, I felt things, I never felt before. I wanted things, I´ve never wanted before. I saw a future, I´ve never seen before. And you gave me the most amazing kid, Sofia is all I could ever ask for….but I wasn´t there from the beginning, you know it. I dreamed to have kids with you, going through everything together. But we never could. And now you may or may not be the mother of a child that is not mine….Callie I don´t think I can stand that. I can´t sit at the dinner table, in a few years time, with you, Sofia and your second baby, when all I´ve ever wanted since the shooting was to be a mom and give you a baby."

Arizona was now standing up, she had to get a little space between her and Callie.

"Are you braking up with me Arizona? You can´t! Please… I´ll do anything to prove it."

"I don´t want to, but if you can´t prove that Penny got pregnant without you knowing it, I think I have no choice."

"Arizona, I love you….."

"I know, that´s why I´ll go to Seattle with our daughter and give you enough time to sort this out. Hopefully you can tell me good news when I come back"

"Please, don´t go" Callie tried

"That´s not fair to Sofia and you know it, she is so happy to see Zola and everyone later. She deserves to go, I will tell her that you can´t leave the hospital."

"Arizona..." Callie was reaching for her hand

"I´m so sorry. I love you. I´ll fix this, I promise!"

"I hope so. I´ll call you when we arrive.

Good Bye, Calliope"

Arizona walked out of the office….

"Good Bye, my love" Callie whispered before falling apart.

How could everything turn from being perfect and happy, to this?

What do you think?

I´ll try to update soon.
