Thank you for all the positive reviews!
I also got some questions why I don´t update faster. I don´t have this story finished and saved, every time I update I just finished a chapter. I just enjoy writing this story even more when I write spontanously and just let some different ideas pop up before I start another chapter.
This one now is a filling Chapter but I still like how the two work things out even with the distance.
So, I hope you enjoy it!
I know it´s a crazy time for everyone right now, so I hope you stay safe and healthy.
I´ll try to get another chapter online in a few days.
Chapter 19
New York Airport
"Hey Sofia, will you wait here, please. I´ll just go ever there at the window to make a call, okay?"
"Yes, Mommy. Can I have your iPod for music?" the Latina was still sad, that her Momma wasn´t going.
Arizona got her iPod out of her pocket before walking over to the window. Making sure to always see Sofia she pressed the call button…
"Arizona" Callie breathed, the blonde immediately knew that Callie was crying.
"Hey" pausing for a moment before saying…
"Callie, please stop crying. I´m sorry, I left and left no choice for you but I want to explain before we go on the plane"
"It´s okay, I knew it wouldn´t be easy."
"I still have so many questions but we will talk about it when we come back. And we will come back, I promise.
It hurt, it hurt really bad. There is still nothing I want more than give you another daughter or son, Calliope. I honestly wish I could be Penny right now, I know you would be the happiest person on earth. I left, to give you enough time and space to focus on Penny and the baby right now, speak to your lawyer and maybe when you do that, you have a solution in a few days. When you go to Seattle, you would waste so much time and I know you wouldn´t be there 100 %, this trip gives you the chance to sort everything out and maybe we can move on from it, when we come back. But I´m also really disappointed, that you tried to hide it from me, I´m disappointed that you felt the need to lie to me about it, when I obviously knew that something was going on.
Anyway, we need to go now, I needed to talk to you and didn´t want to leave without telling you this. I love you with all my heart, Calliope. But you also have to give me time to process this.
I´ll call you again when we get there okay?"
"I´ll prove it Arizona. I understand why you left but I hope we call a few times and talk. This made me feel better already. I can´t stand losing you again. I won´t loose you because of that twisted little..."
"You won´t" Arizona spoke before Callie could finish.
"Give Sofia a kiss from me"
"I´ll, speak to you later Calliope."
"I love you" Callie spoke before the line went dead.
Besides from the trouble with Callie, Arizona didn´t feel that good stepping on that plane. Over the years it started to get a little easier but she would never be able to enjoy a flight. Sofia was a big help and taking her mind of, the little girl hold her hand the time while they listened to some music.
Seattle
Walking through the Airport towards the exit, Sofia jumped in happiness.
"Mommy! Look, Zola and Aunt Mer! Can I?" the girl asks, pointing towards her best friend.
"Go!" Arizona says with a big smile, it was such a joy to see Sofia so excited.
Following her daughter a little bit slower, carrying the suitcase, the blonde made her way over to Meredith who was in a tight hug with Sofia.
"Arizona, welcome back! How was the flight?" the general doc asks, knowing for sure that flying was a torture for both of them after the trauma they had to go through together.
"Hey, thank you so much for picking us up. The flight was okay, Sofia is the best company to keep my mind off. How are you?"
"How about we get out of here and talk over dinner? I have some mac and cheese waiting for you guys at home."
"Really? My favourite! Let´s go, I´m hungry!" Sofia says, pulling Zola with her. The two mothers just looked at each other laughing.
When Arizona organised the trip, she spoke to Meredith asking if it´s possible to stay at her house instead of a hotel. Both agreed that the girls would love it and Grey had enough room anyway.
On the ride home, the kids did most of the talking, the adults never really getting a chance to say something because the girls had to catch up on everything.
New York
Callie was sitting at the counter, her head resting in her hands, just starring...she was thinking, but it was hard to actually think straight.
She actually couldn´t wait to hear Arizona´s voice again, she couldn´t be mad about Arizona though. She was right and the blonde cared, otherwise she wouldn´t of called again from the Airport. The brunette tried to come up with a plan, but she needed a little extra support from someone, someone who has the power to actually help her.
Looking through her contacts, she quickly found the one…
"Hija, it´s not Sunday. Are you okay?" Carlos answered the call, worrying. Father and daughter found their way back together and would talk every Sunday again. A call during the week was unusual.
"I´m okay Daddy. But there is reason why I´m calling. Do you have some time to talk?"
"For you, always Hija."
"Thank you Daddy. I have a little problem and was wondering, if you can help me to find out something."
"Well, I need a little more details about that. But I´ll help you, just tell me the story."
Callie continued to tell Carlos the whole story, the Latina knew that her father never really liked Penny. He agreed to help and would talk to his own lawyers and get some people on that case. Carlos knew about Arizona and Callie being back together and finding their way again as a family, he would do anything to help them.
"Don´t worry Calliope, we will know the truth soon. I´ll make a few calls right now and get started. You talk to your daughter and wife and make sure they are okay, leave the rest to me."
"Thank you Daddy."
Just as she ended the call with her dad, her phone was ringing. The name on the screen made her smile.
"Hey, how was the flight?"
"Hey you, it was okay. We just arrived at Meredith´s. How are you?"
"Tired actually, I just got off the phone with my dad."
"Really? Is he okay?"
"Yes, I called him and asked for help. If nobody can find out the truth but he can and he knows enough good people to do it."
"Oh, that´s great. I´m happy he´s helping."
"I miss you, Arizona."
"I miss you too….Tell me what you´re thinking."
"I was trying to protect you. What you said earlier, that you wish you could be Penny and give me a baby, I know deep down it is still your wish because it is mine too. I was trying to hide it from you because I wanted to protect you, Arizona. I didn´t want to make you feel the way you feel right now."
"It´s a difficult issue for us, and when you explain it that way, maybe I would off done the same, I don´t know."
"I will let you know as soon as my dad finds something, okay? You better go back to Mer and enjoy yourself."
"The girl´s will go to bed soon and Teddy will come over for a little Tequila, girls talk night."
"Sounds like fun. Tell everybody, I miss them and tell Sofia I love her."
"I´ll make sure to skype or facetime you tomorrow with Sofia, so you can talk to he. Goodnight Calliope"
"Good night"
Seattle
When Arizona got off the phone, Meredith was already trying to get the girls to bed.
It didn´t take long for Teddy to arrive with a bottle of Tequila in her hand, she pulled Arizona in a tight hug. Obviously they were missing each other and happy to finally catch up again.
The two woman had a lot of questions for Arizona about her relationship with Callie. So this was the number one topic.
Arizona surprised herself when she lied to her friends about Callie staying in New York. She didn´t want to tell about Penny being pregnant and all this, she knew her friends would start to have doubts about Callie again, so she just said that Callie was needed in the hospital. Talking to Callie on the phone earlier made her feel better and since she knows that Carlos is on it too, the blonde was sure that the truth will be out in just a matter of time.
Still, she was a little bit conflicted that Callie agreed to even try for a baby, but she tried to hide her worries as good as possible and kept talking about all the great date nights and family weekends. She couldn´t stop smiling while telling the whole story and with three shots down, the alcohol started to show some effects.
"You´re falling for her again, that´s so amazing! Who would of thought that this was possible." Teddy says
"I´m so happy for you! You better make it work this time Robbins"
"We are stronger and definitely wiser now. Believe me, we had a few problems already but we communicate better. It will work." Arizona says without a doubt.
"Okay and now to the hot stuff! How is the sex?" Teddy asks which makes Meredith laugh out loud and Arizona cough as the Tequila went down the wrong way.
"That´s non of your business Altmann!"
"Ohhh come on! You two have been apart for a while so it´s definitely a little different. But is it good or bad?" the trauma doc keeps asking.
"Okay! Okay! It´s way….way better" the blonde says with a wink.
"You have to give us more details." two woman protested
"Nope, not gonna happen. If you two want to know more about hot lesbian sex you should get some." Arizona says with a dimpled smile as she watched Teddy and Mer blushing and looking at each other.
"Alright!""Alright!" the two say in union
"So what´s the plan for tomorrow anyway?" the peds surgeon asks
"Maggie will watch the kids tomorrow night and we will go to Joes with Bailey, Jo and Amelia."
"I can´t wait to see everyone."
Let me know what you think :)
