"Good morning Dr. Torres" Sofia smiled as her mom entered the Orthopedics department.
"Dr. Sloan, Dr. Brown" Callie welcomed as she took the coffee Sofia was offering her with a smirk. "Buying coffee for the boss, someones trying to get in on some surgeries" Callie laughed.
"Nope just trying to keep you happy… I know what your like if you don't get your caffeine fix" Sofia laughed as they walked to the nurses station where her fellow interns were hovering and waiting.
"Good morning interns. So we have a lot of cases this morning to work through, but first I want to work on discharging a few patients so lets do rounds and we will see who we are left to deal with afterwards" Callie suggested as she motioned towards the first ward and followed the interns.
She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and quickly checked it, smiling when she saw an email alerting her to a message from bustyblonde, she quickly opened it and smiled at the words on her screen.
BUSTYBLONDE: good morning happy camper. Just wanted to say I really enjoyed talking to you last night and wish you a good day today.
Callie quickly typed on her phone, hitting send before she followed her interns into the ward to begin her day.
-oOo-
"Is it just me or does your mom seem really happy today?" Stacy asked as she picked at her lunch.
Sofia glanced at her mom who was sitting with Mer, Alex, Yang and her mama. Her mom was beaming and laughing and almost seemed to be on cloud nine and for that matter her mama seemed a lot brighter than she had in the past few weeks.
Sofia smirked and pulled her phone out, logging into her mums dating account and scanning he messages, quickly showing Stacy the message thread between her unsuspecting parents.
"I cannot believe it, its working" Sofia giggled, getting Alex's attention and flashing her phone at him and nodding, he winked back at her before turning back to his conversation, trying not to be too obvious.
"So they are totally hitting it off" Stacy commented when she had finished reading all the messages. "what do we do now?"
"I don't know… I need to get Alex aside and speak to him, we were meant to be on his rotation this week but it got changed so now I cant speak to him so easily" Sofia frowned.
"This is epic… you know when they get back together and get married and they realize how much effort you went to in order to get them back together, they are going to buy you like a horse or something" Stacy laughed.
"Either that or they find out and don't get back together and they kill me for meddling" Sofia grimaced.
"That's not going to happen Sof. Look at the messages, even when they don't know they are talking to each other they have such a strong chemistry" Stacy offered.
"True. We better get back and get ready for the boss" Sofia smirked as she stood up and grabbed both of their trays, waiting for Stacy to get up so they could leave.
"Right I better get back to my interns" Callie smiled as she finished her drink.
"Hows Sof doing?" Arizona asked.
"Shes doing great, I'm trying to follow her wishes to not give her special treatment, but its so hard, especially when I can see she wants in on a specific case and I cant say no to her" Callie sighed.
"You know, I ended up writing their names on post it notes and when I had to hand off a case I would pick a post it note at random and give it to that intern" Arizona offered.
"That's such a good idea… your so clever" Callie smiled.
"Not just a pretty face" Arizona laughed.
"Nah but the pretty face and the clever brains are a good combination" Callie smirked before she left.
"You two seem to be getting on well" Yang grinned.
"Don't… we decided we would step back from any emotion between us and focus on being parents to Sofia… so that's whats going to happen" Arizona warned.
"Hello doctors" a voice interrupted Yang's reply, they all looked to the owner and grinned.
"Addie, what the hell are you doing here?" Meredith jumped up and hugged the redhead tightly.
"I have a client who got stranded in Seattle and had to fly over so told her to come here… plus I wanted to check in on you and make sure you and the kiddies are ok" Addison smiled sadly.
"We're doing ok, its been a tough ride since we lost Derek but things are finally starting to feel somewhat normal again, well as normal as they can be without him around" Mer sighed. "Well, I've got a surgery coming up so I best go. But you have my number so I'll message you and let you know a day your free for dinner… oh do you have somewhere to stay? I have a spare room if your stuck?" Mer offered nervously.
"No that's ok, I'm sorted for somewhere to stay but thank you for the offer… now go save some lives, it's a beautiful day to save some lives" Addison smiled softly.
"It is a beautiful day to save lives, your right" Mer smiled deeply, memories of all the times she has heard her husband say those words flowed through her mind.
"So whats new" Addison asked as she sat down with the only two people left at the table, Alex and Arizona.
"Where do we start… did you know Sofia is doing her internship here?" Arizona grinned proudly.
"I had heard that, and that Callie is back. We kept in touch all these years but she must have been busy in the last month or so because shes dropped off the face of the earth" Addison smiled.
"Yeah shes been pretty busy lately" Arizona sighed, Addison glanced at her questioningly.
"Oh wait… if you haven't heard from her in a month you don't know about her and Penny?" Alex smirked when Addison shook her head.
"Well lets just say Penny is a bitch and may have had a go at Arizona where half the hospital could hear and told her that she wasn't Sofia's real mother… and get this Callie slapped her and sent her packing!" Alex grinned happily, ignoring Arizona's glare.
"Wait so Callie and Penny split up?" Addison asked glancing between Alex and Arizona, Alex nodding happily.
"Thank god for that, I really could never stand her" Addison sighed much to Alex's delight.
"I know right, shes an utter bitch" Alex grinned.
"Alex be nice" Arizona chastised and motioned to a few tables behind him where Penny sat with her group of friends.
"Oh Jesus Callie sent her packing yet shes still here… I hope I don't have to work with her" Addison growled.
"Wait, why do you hate her so much?" Arizona questioned.
"Well lets just say that last time I visited Callie, Penny and I butted heads a bit over the way she was treating my best friend" Addison grimaced at the memory. "So Callie slapped her hey, good on Callie… she should have slapped the stuck up bitch a long time ago" Addison mused much to the amusement of Alex and Arizona.
"Wow you really don't like her" Arizona laughed.
"Yeah well… when someone treats someone I love the way she did, I take offense to it. I mean the way she used to speak to her was just appalling, and the way she would belittle her in public and at work, I tried to get Callie to see sense but she was just so shut down and wouldn't listen" Addison confided.
"Yeah when she got back she was so uptight and wound up so tightly, its taken us weeks to get her to chill out a bit and start having some fun again" Arizona mused.
"Well I'm glad shes back around her family. Lets just hope Princess Penelope pisses off soon" Addison snarled.
Arizona glanced at her phone when it vibrated, unable to keep the smile off her face.
ROCKSTAR: sorry for not replying sooner, its been a bit crazy at work. How's your day going?
BUSTYBLONDE: just taking a break myself, work is always busy… I may have to try your camping thing just as an excuse to get away for a while.
ROCKSTAR: you should… if you want some company let me know, I need an excuse to get away for a while too lol
"What are you smiling at?" Alex grinned knowingly.
"What? Nothing!" Arizona offered defensively.
"Oh come on Riz… have you got a secret lover on your stupid dating site" Alex laughed grabbing her phone and reading the messages before she could snatch it back.
"Ooh who's rockstar?" Alex teased.
"Wait Callie's back… your both single, and instead of working it out your dating in cyber space?" Addison asked incredulously.
"Callie and I are just friends Addie" Arizona sighed.
"That is loosely translated to… they were getting close to reconciling, but then they both chickened out so now they are both trying to see other people as a way to hide their love for each other" Alex smirked before he felt a foot connect with his shin and yelped in pain.
"Ouch Robbins that hurt!" Alex glared.
"Well quit gossiping like a little old lady then. Callie and I are happy with our friendship and the other people in our lives need to accept that and get on board quickly" Arizona snapped.
"Alright fine… I'm on board… even though I know you are still crazy about her and she is crazy about you" Alex smirked as he jumped up from his chair and out of reach. "Later ladies" he waved as he retreated from the death glare.
"So your happy with just being friends… and she is?" Addison asked softly after a few minutes.
"Yeah.. we have our moments but you know, we have Sofia and we have to put her first and this is whats best for everyone and we talked about it and we're both in agreement of the decision" Arizona offered, feeling her phone vibrating and resisting the urge to look.
"In that case I'm happy for you… I would be happier if you two got your shit together and made up… but as long as your both happy, I'm happy… now come on, show me this department of yours" Addison smirked as she stood up and linked arms.
-oOo-
"Montgomery, what the hell are you doing here" Callie grinned as she bounced towards Addison and enveloped her in a hug.
"Well you don't call anymore, you don't write… I needed to make sure you were still alive" Addison threw a mock glare once they pulled back from the hug.
"Ahh sorry Addie, I kinda got bogged down with life… but what are you doing here?" Callie asked excitedly.
"The professional answer is I have a client here" Addison grinned before raising Callie's hand by the caramel forearm and high fiving it and smirked when Callie looked her questioningly. "The personal answer is I'm here to high five you for finally seeing sense and ditching Princess Penelope and apparently you slapped her which gets you this" Addison grinned as she kissed Callie's forehead with a huge grin.
"You're an idiot. Where are you staying and how long are you here for?" Callie shook her head in amusement.
"I'm here for about a week and my bags are in my hire car whilst I find suitable accommodation" Addison smirked knowingly.
"I'll get you a spare key cut. What time are you finishing today?" Callie laughed when Addie beamed at her.
"Well thank you, I was hoping if I waited long enough you would offer"
"You don't need an invite Addie, your my best friend, your always welcome" Callie grinned as her phone vibrated.
BUSTYBLONDE: sorry I got held up. I might take you up on that offer, it depends on what your ideas for warming me up at night are though.
"Whos bustyblonde?" Addison smirked as she looked at Callie's phone and read her messages, shrugging when Callie glared at her pointedly.
"Just a friend" Callie offered.
"Really… so why would just a friend be asking how your planning to warm her up at night" Addison laughed as Callie blushed.
"Shut up… and before you give me any lecture about Arizona… just don't. She doesn't want a relationship with me that stretches beyond co-parenting and the reasons she made are very valid so we are just trying to be friends and that's it… please don't push me on it because its hard enough with everyone else pushing" Callie sighed.
"Ok Cal… I wont say anything, but if you want to talk, I'm here… but for now, I want to see how you plan to warm bustyblonde up" Addison wiggled her eyebrows.
"Get your own sex life" Callie laughed.
ROCKSTAR: didn't I mention the open fire and s'mores ;)
"Smooth Torres… and your even using winky faces… you're so cute" Addison teased.
"Oh my god Aunty Addie" Sofia almost knocked Addison to the ground as she jumped on her and hugged her.
"Hey kiddo, happy to see me?" Addison laughed at her goddaughters welcome.
"You have no idea. Why are you here?" Sofia grinned.
"Decided to come and see my favorite intern and make sure she was working hard" Addie grinned. "I may have brought you presents too" Addison laughed.
"This is why your my favorite" Sofia grinned. "Oh hey I want you to meet someone" Sofia turned to grab Stacy's hand and pull her forward.
"Stacy this is my Aunty Addie, the best OBGYN in America. Aunty Addie this is my girlfriend Stacy… or Dr Brown" Sofia smiled proudly.
"Girlfriend… well I didn't see that coming" Addie scoffed. "its nice to meet you Stacy" Addie shook Stacy's hand.
"Why don't you seem shocked?" Callie murmured.
"For someone who was married to a woman, your gaydar is so bad its laughable… come on Callie, her bedroom was plastered with wonder woman posters…" Addison laughed.
"Hey… Arizona didn't know either… in fact Sofia didn't know till she met Stacy" Callie defended.
"Mom!" Sofia glared at her causing Callie and Addie to laugh. "I'm so embarrassed right now" Sofia blushed and tried to forget that her girlfriend had just been privvy to the entire exchange.
"Well I have to go check in with my patient, you girls behave! Stacy I look forward to getting to know you better" Addison smiled softly before leaving.
"Wow Aunty Addie's here" Sofia grinned excitedly.
"Yup, and shes staying with me" Callie grinned happily.
"Awesome. What are you making for dinner tonight then?" Sofia grinned hopefully.
"Fine… come over when you get off… Stacy your welcome to join us too" Callie offered before leaving.
BUSTYBLONDE: just the fire… well that doesn't sound very exciting at all… I may have to think about it ;)
ROCKSTAR: well what would you suggest then?
Callie smirked as she slid her phone back into her pocket and rounded up the interns for afternoon rounds.
