"Hey stranger" Arizona smirked as she bumped into Callie besides the pool.
"Hey… I thought you had gone home I haven't seen you for ages" Callie smiled softly.
"Funny… I've been around… you know, this and that" Arizona laughed.
"Wow… are you trying to play it cool with me?" Callie glanced over her shoulder as she fiddled with some heating settings for the pool.
"I am cool I don't need to play it" Arizona threw her a fake glare.
"Ha, you're a complete nerd… you still wore Heeley's well into your forties that's not being cool" Callie laughed.
"Wait how did you know that? You never saw me in the hospital in my forties until you moved back and I don't wear them anymore so how do you know that?" Arizona frowned.
"I may have asked around because I was curious" Callie admitted shyly.
"Why didn't you just ask me?" Arizona asked softly.
"Because I didn't want to embarrass myself by asking my ex-wife if she still wore Heeley's to work and when she stopped wearing them because I miss seeing her rolling around the halls with that goofy grin on her face" Callie confessed with a blush.
"You're cute" Arizona laughed softly.
"You're cute. Even with those damn roller shoes" Callie laughed.
"I'm getting you a pair for Christmas" Arizona announced playfully.
"Don't you dare" Callie glared
"I'm so getting you a pair" Arizona giggled.
"Fine… then I will get you something just as awful" Callie grinned.
"Like what? I would like anything you bought me" Arizona smiled sweetly.
"Fine. In that case I'm going to get you a dog" Callie smirked.
"Awesome I've always wanted a dog" Arizona laughed.
"And a Pogo stick" Callie grinned.
"Did you seriously just make a one legged joke? That's just sick Calliope" Arizona pouted.
"What of course not… I didn't even mean it that way" Callie stood up and turned to face Arizona, her heart dropping at Arizona thinking she would stoop so low as to joke about her disability.
"Oh ok. Well I don't think I'd be able to use a Pogo stick" Arizona frowned.
"You are a bit too old to be on a Pogo stick" Callie offered with a shy smile.
"Wait did you just make a one legged joke and then follow it up with calling me old? What the hell Callie" Arizona threw a shocked look on her face.
"Arizona I didn't mean it like that… god what is wrong with me tonight? Shit, you're not old… your only a year older than me… and I would never ever make fun of your leg, your stunning Arizona, as beautiful and as gorgeous as the day we met" Callie promised.
"I think you need to cool off" Arizona glared before pushing Callie into the pool with a grin.
"ARIZONA! what the hell!" Callie screeched when she surfaced.
"You needed to cool off" Arizona shrugged.
"Oh your dead Robbins" Callie glared as she pulled herself sleekly from the pool despite the pain in her shoulder and took a step towards the blonde.
"Don't you dare" Arizona warned, raising her finger to show her seriousness.
"But you made me all wet" Callie smirked and raised her eyebrow suggestively.
"Don't. Don't you give me that look Calliope" Arizona felt her heart pounding in her chest as she saw that playful lustful look burning in Callie's eyes and instantly felt the moisture collect between her legs.
"What look would that be?" Callie asked as she circled the blonde ignoring the harsh chill as the cool night air blew through to her tanned skin through the clingy wet clothing.
"You know exactly the look I'm referring to. That look like your thinking of doing something extremely naughty" Arizona gulped and stepped back as Callie closed in on her.
"You should know that look well because I'm always thinking of doing something naughty when I look at you" Callie confessed with a smirk.
"Calliope there are people around and we agreed that we would keep us a secret for now" Arizona glared at Callie.
"Yeah your right" Callie stopped dead and looked apologetic. "maybe you need to cool off too then and then we should be right" Callie smirked as she pushed Arizona into the pool, straight into the deep end and smiled triumphantly. Arizona emerged splashing a flailing like a fish on dry land.
"Mom her leg she cant swim!" Sofia screamed as she saw the antics and then saw her mama flailing. She began to run for the pool not daring to breath as the fear took over her.
"Shit" Callie's heart dropped as she watched Arizona flailing and heard her daughters scream, without a second thought she plunged into the pool and grabbed Arizona, lifting her up so that her head would rise above the waterline, not caring that her own head was below water and she hadn't thought to take a breath before jumping into the pool nor about the red hot pain through her injured shoulder. Callie fought with the water as she tried desperately to walk along the pool floor and reach the edge of the pool, hoping that Arizona would be able to pull herself out of the pool, her lungs burned as her body begged for oxygen but she denied it, her first priority was getting Arizona to safety and not her own need for oxygen.
As her mind puzzled over how long she could keep going without taking a breath a hand grabbed the arms that were meant to be holding Arizona up, she hadn't even noticed Arizona had been pulled from her grasp. Within seconds she could feel the cool air hitting her face so she opened her mouth and drank in a deep breath as Alex laid her down on the deck and returned to make sure Arizona was ok.
"I'm fine I just swallowed a bit of water" Arizona promised, downplaying the panic she had felt moments earlier when she had been unable to surface for breath.
"Jesus Arizona I am so sorry, I didn't know" Callie spat out between deep breaths as she tried to breathe and steady her heart rate.
"It's fine. Are you ok?" Arizona asked as she shuffled closer and began to rub Callie's back as she knelt on the deck, her hands splayed out and her ass in the air.
"Yeah… fine" Callie gulped.
"Liar" Arizona laughed.
"'I've got it… I'm getting you bloody swimming lessons, Jesus you scared me" Callie half joked.
"Well maybe if someone didn't push me in the deep end I wouldn't have almost drowned" Arizona laughed, as she glanced around to see the crowd that they had gathered had disappeared leaving just Alex and Meredith who looked drenched and Sofia and Stacy who were watching them with interest and all four were watching them incredulously that they were laughing at such a moment.
"Uh thanks for the help guys" Callie offered shyly.
"Mom, she cant swim what were you thinking" Sofia half snapped at her mothers idiocy.
"Sof I had no idea she couldn't swim anymore, obviously if I knew I wouldn't have pushed her in the swimming pool" Callie scoffed.
"Why did you push her in anyway" Sofia asked.
"She was annoying me and she started it" Callie shrugged playfully.
"Such a bitch… I'm gonna go get changed" Arizona threw a fake glare at the brunette before standing up and attempting a step before stopping.
"Alex, be a love and carry me to my bedroom will you" Arizona asked nervously.
"What?" Alex asked nervously glancing between Meredith and Arizona.
"I cant walk… my bindings are soaked and the leg cup is chaffing because of it and I didn't exactly bring my crutches to party with me" Arizona sighed with frustration.
"Shit sorry Arizona I didn't think" Callie offered sadly.
"It's fine Calliope, I will get you back when you least expect it" Arizona winked not wanting the brunette to feel bad.
"Come on Mer, I'll get you some dry clothes" Arizona offered kindly as Alex swept the blonde up into his arms.
"Umm, what was that?" Sofia asked accusingly once it was just her and her mother left.
"We were just messing around Sof, stop thinking there are things there that aren't there" Callie smiled as she patted her daughters shoulder as she made her way to her bedroom to change out of her own wet clothes.
Once she was dressed she grabbed her phone and made her way down the stairs as her phone vibrated in her hand, swiping it to unlock it she smirked when she saw the message.
BUSTYBLONDE: u are soooo lucky that my phone has a waterproof case!
ROCKSTAR: lol sorry I didn't even think about your phone, or your leg… I'm an idiot! Why are you messaging me on here?
Callie swung the fridge open and grabbed herself a beer as she twisted the cap off and threw it into a cardboard box, glancing at her phone whilst watching Addie and Jo out of the corner of her eye.
BUSTYBLONDE: um because if I txt you Sof may see it, at least on here its private ;)
ROCKSTAR: lol… this is why I am the bad mom and don't give Sof my phone password
BUSTYBLONDE: what so she doesn't see u messaging women? Something to tell me Calliope?
ROCKSTAR: coz she is nosy and likes to snoop and I enjoy my privacy from our daughter! No other women Arizona, you have always been the only women I have been interested in. speaking of which, when are you coming back, I have nothing interesting to look at and need some eye candy!
BUSTYBLONDE: ur cute when u pout at ur phone
Callie glanced up instantly catching Arizona's smile and couldn't help but smile in return as the blonde walked confidently towards her in a pair of navy tracksuit pants and a grey over the head hoody, when she reached Callie she grabbed the brunettes beer, taking a swig of it with a smirk.
"Stop staring, your being as obvious as those two" Arizona motioned towards the two women still giggling by the kitchen.
"I know… what the hell, I have known her for over twenty years and have never seen her flirt with another woman let alone act like a teenager with a crush with one" Callie whispered before going to grab herself another beer that hopefully wouldn't be commandeered this time.
"What do you think is going on?" Arizona asked as she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
"Nothing yet… they had barely passed five sentences between them before tonight but looking at them, it wont be long before something is happening. I will find out what I can tomorrow" Callie grinned.
"Are we still doing Funday Sunday?" Arizona asked hopefully.
"Yep, and its my turn to pick, so I hope your ready" Callie smirked.
"Its not swimming is it?" Arizona joked, then took pity when she saw the guilt in Callie's eyes. "hey accidents happen, and it was pretty funny… don't stress about it…. Please" Arizona pouted softly as she begged, grinning when Callie nodded after a few moments of studying her silently.
"So tell me Calliope, what are we doing tomorrow?" Arizona asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
"It's a surprise, but I promise you will enjoy it. Just wear something comfortable that you can move in" Callie winked.
"Why do you insist on doing surprises when you know I hate surprises" Arizona threw her a semi serious glare.
"Because you hate them until you find out what your surprise is… when have you ever not loved one of my surprises?" Callie offered with a triumphant smirk.
"Really? Ok… the surprise birthday party… you hooking up with Mark while I was in Africa… you moving to New York… you moving back to Seattle with a stick up your ass and your bitch girlfriend… want me to keep going?" Arizona asked with an eyebrow raised teasingly.
"In my defense… I threw you a party be thankful!… we were broken up and the love of my life had just left me standing like a goose in the airport with a broken heart while she disappeared to a different continent and I wasn't really thinking straight…" Arizona couldn't contain the guffaw at Callie's wording which caused her to receive a playful glare "stop laughing it wasn't a joke, fine I was thinking straight but not thinking clearly… New York was the biggest mistake of my life, but again in my defense I was trying to get over my broken heart again courtesy of you… and be thankful I came back to Seattle at all with my ass instead of complaining about it" Callie offered with a fake laugh.
"Hey, I was kidding… its in the past, and it all needs to stay there or this stands no chance" Arizona whispered throwing a sideways glance at Callie.
"I know… but just so we are on the same page… breaking up with you breaks my heart, and when I'm suffering with an Arizona broken heart I make ridiculously stupid decisions… so please try not to break my heart again because god knows what I will do next time" Callie offered a playful smile which led Arizona to roll her eyes in amusement.
"I will make you a deal. I will do everything I can to not break your heart, if you could try your hardest to not break mine" Arizona asked sweetly.
"I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to only mend your heart for the rest of my days" Callie said seriously, turning her head so Arizona could see the honesty burning deep in her brown eyes.
"God you make it impossible to not love you" Arizona whispered.
"Says the hot woman wearing her sweats and looking incredible" Callie smirked.
