Well, Here is the last chapter! I know the time that it took me, but I promise I finish it and I finally did it!

Thank you to those who encourage me to finish this, you gave me the push I was needed.

Chapter 18

Doctor Minnick! - Callie was approaching the new doctor, who was next to Wilson in the ortho ward right by the nurse station.

Doctor Torres- The green eyed woman said with a smile.

You changed my surgery- She stated. She wasn't actually mad at her because of the chance of a date with Arizona, but she wanted to let the other Doctor know she wasn´t okay with her changing everything around.

I did. I was actually telling Doctor Wilson to find you and let you know because it's almost time.- Eliza said while scrolling on her tablet.

Wilson, why don't you go prepare the patient, please? I'll meet you in the OR.- Callie ordered and looked for her own tablet.

Sure.- Jo said and walked away.

It's an easy one. You should let Doctor Wilson do most of it- Minnick said, trying to get to Callie with her best manners.

You should consult me before changing my surgeries- Callie responded with a stone tone, dismissing the suggestion. To be honest, Eliza hadn´t done anything bad to her, directly. It's not like Callie and Arizona were together when she asked the blonde out or that she needed to know their whole back story but, the mere memory of her flirting with the Ped's surgeon many times makes holes in Callie's stomach and she just couldn't stand the other woman.

It was something last minute. I thought you'll be thankful- She said looking up from the tablet, straight to brown eyes.

Thankful?- Callie asked astonished.

Yeah. You get to leave earlier. You get a Friday's night free… The hospital's walls talk, Doctor Torres, I know, for sure, you'd rather be in someplace else, tonight- She said with a smirk.

Excuse me!?- Callie yelled, shocked by the doctor assumptions even that they were actually true.

I think you forget I'm here to implement a program. And for that, I have to know all the surgeries for the day, the attendings, the assigned residents…. I know you got one cancel, so I made you a favor and got you a free OR for the hip replacement so you can go home earlier. You should be thanking me instead of acting all sulky. - She was getting tired of Callie's bad mood when all she wanted to do was help.

Oh, what nice of your part! Don't believe everything that is said here, doctor, you might be surprise how many untrue rumors go around this place.

I know what your problem with me might be, Doctor Torres. I only thought with this, I could let things clear.

I don't follow.

I could've just moved any other surgery but I picked yours, because I might've heard someone earlier today how much they needed a free night to spend with their significant other, which it has been very difficult to do lately- Callie's eyes wide opened, realizing it was her conversation with Meredith in the cafeteria, Eliza was referring to. She recalled telling the general surgeon how unlucky her and Arizona were being lately with the timelines and the on-called days. - And I wasn't eavesdropping or anything. You weren´t being any quiet.

I don't…just… even if I wasn't particularly quiet, you should mind your own business.

I know, I'm sorry. I just had the chance to make you a favor and I did it, that's all. I have no interest in Doctor Robbins. At least, not now that you are in the picture. I didn't know about you two, I had no idea you were a thing, otherwise I would've never flirted with her in the first place. I don't go for women that are taken. Not the person I am. – Eliza returned the tablet to the nurse and started to walk through the hall. Callie stood there for a few seconds, perplex. Until her body responded her and followed the other doctor to the hall.

Wait! - She said, catching up- I… I am sorry. – She breathed and said it again- I'm sorry. Everyone here talks shit about everyone all the time. And I just… You shouldn´t apologized. Arizona and I weren't a thing, again, until recently. You weren't doing anything wrong, I´m just a really jealous person.

I would be the same way, believe me. That's why I apologized and why I though, it'll be nice to move the surgery while it was possible. I'm sorry if I crossed a line, but I have ears, what can I do! - She said letting out a small laugh that Callie joined.

Thank you- Callie finally said.- It was kind of you.

I'm not a monster like everyone here wants to make me look like. – She said with a sad smile.

You can have friends here, if you want to. – Callie could see Eliza was being honest.

Thank you. Are we good, then?

We are. But you tell me before changing ORs next time!- She said, running through the halls to get to the OR. It was almost time for the surgery.

It was around 6 pm when Arizona met Callie out of her OR.

Hey, that was a smooth surgery.- Arizona said, smiling.

Hello, there- Callie leaned in for a short kiss- It was. Wilson is becoming a real good surgeon. I have to say, I quite missed her when I was in New York.

She has an awesome mentor- Arizona smiled and kissed Callie on the cheek.- So… have you thought about what do you wanna do tonight?- they both were going through the hall in front of a big window and Callie looked outside.

It's going to rain. It's going to rain, badly. - Callie stated.

What? No, it's not! - Arizona said, approaching the window to corroborate the brunette's words. It was flashing- Shit. Big storm coming… how lucky we are, aren't we!? - She said with a sad smile.

It seems like the world is not in our favor- Callie looked pretty down so Arizona did her best to make her feel better.

Hey, hun, come on! We'll go out another day. – The blonde got closer and put an arm around Callie.

I know. I was really looking forward to spend time with you alone, that's all. – The brunette said while laying her head on Arizona's shoulder.

I was, too. – She took Callie´s face with both of her hands and kissed her, first, on the lips and then, on the tip of her nose making Callie smiled. - Never stop smiling, Callie. Your smile makes me so happy, you have no idea.

YOU make me really happy. I can't believe I thought I could live miles away from you. What an idiot.

Hey, that's on the past okay? -she said while looking for her cell phone that was ringing. - It's Mer. She said Sofia it's already at her house, to not worry about the storm.

We should also keep going. It's getting louder. It'll be dangerous to drive.- Callie said, eyeing outside.

Yeah, I'll go for my things. Meet you on the parking lot? - with a nod from Callie, Arizona turned around and went to her office.

Callie was waiting for Arizona in the parking lot under a little roof. The blonde saw her from the inside and went to her, determined.

Come home with me. - Arizona said, stepping next to her, under the roof.

Now? -Callie asked, surprised. The sky seemed like it was about to fall down.

Yes. - Taking a step closer to Callie, she continued- We've been girlfriends and broken up. We've been married and gotten a divorce. We have a child together for God sakes! We don't need an expensive restaurant and fancy dresses for our first date, our second first date, actually! We don't need a perfect night out date, Callie. All I want, is for you, to come home with me because I missed you so much. And I don't wanna miss you anymore. I wanna be with you. I just… I wanna spend time with you all the time, I don't care where or how. Because as long as we are together…it's perfect for me .- Callie's heart seemed to be beating out of her chest. Ever since she came back, all she wanted, all she needed, was Arizona to really want her back, to be sure about them. Not to be scare anymore. And there it was. The blonde was saying everything Callie ached to hear. She was just perfect. How could she have been so stupid to almost lose her forever.

There's nothing I'd like more than to go home with you tonight. - She said softly, with a knot in her throat, but smiling and gave her a peck on the lips. - I missed you, too.

Good. - Arizona took Callie's hand and guided her to the car.- Let's go, then. Leave your car here, we're coming in together tomorrow.

Oh! Wow! You are very confident as how the night is going to end for you!

Oh, totally. I'm getting lucky tonight , that's a fact.

Oh yeah? We'll see about that.- Callie said playfully, letting herself be pulled into the blonde's car.

Oh come on. You're not believing a word of what you're saying. You want me, Calliope. - Arizona said winking while getting into the car.- Don't forget I know you- Callie got into the copilot sit. - Did I just shush you, Torres? - She looked at Callie who was red as an apple and she couldn't help to kiss those burned cheeks.

What can I say...when you're right, you are right. - Callie said, chuckling, and then they drove away.

Okay, sweetie, be good with auntie Mer, okay? - Arizona was saying goodnight to her kid on the phone. - Here, say goodbye to mama - She gave Callie the phone to also say goodbye. They had stopped for Chinese, wine and ice cream on their way home.

All right! We should eat. I'm starving! - Arizona said and went for the things.

Yup! Me too. Wow! It seems like the sky is falling down.- Callie was sitting on the couch, looking through the window.

Very romantic, after all, don't you think? – Arizona said from the kitchen where she was pouring them some wine and taking the food to the living room.

Yeah… it is. - Callie smiled. - Should I look for something on Netflix for after dinner?

Yes! - the blonde said, and approaching from behind, she whispered in Callie's ears- we can have dessert after a good movie - making the brunette shiver.

You are playing with fire, Arizona. - Callie looked patiently how the blonde put everything in the little table and in one movement she took Arizona by her hips and made her sit on her laps.- And you could burn…- She then grabbed her face with both hands and kissed her. It was a wetted, agitated kiss. When Arizona tried to make a move, Callie quickly stopped the kiss and looked deep into blue eyes. Those babies blue fill with lust. She loved it. Arizona tried to kiss her again but Callie didn't let her.

Dessert is for later, Doctor Robbins. - She said, lifting an eyebrow and making Arizona step off of her. The blonde's look at that moment was all Callie was looking for.

I hate you - she said, with her heart beating fast in her chest.

You earned it!

That was really mean! - Arizona said, grabbing her glass. She was very thirsty. Callie consumed her in every way.

You've been playing me, Arizona! I needed revenge. - The brunette said with a smirk. It was really hard for her, herself to stop once she started but she wanted to tease Arizona.

They started to eat in comfortable silence. Both needed to chill a bit. The rain was pouring very hard and they were really enjoying the sound of it.

This is perfect. - Callie said. - This is a perfect date, Arizona. A rainy day with you. And wine! - She laughed.

It is. - the blonde said with a soft smile while caressing Callie's hands.

You look… - the brunette was trying to come up with the right word. -... peaceful. - she finally said. Arizona looked deep into chocolate's eyes.

I am. I feel in peace. Like… everything is fitting into its place. I feel happy. Right now, here with you, Callie… All I ever needed to be happy was you. You and Sofia. You are my entire world. - She said, still holding Callie's hands. Tears threaten to fill the brunette's eyes. It was a mix of joy and sadness.

I'm sorry that I took your world away from you all this time- she said painfully.

And I forgave you for that, Callie. And I'm sorry for every mistake of the past, too.

I've forgave you, too.

Everything that has happened to us was for a reason. And I'd like to think that reason was for us to be here now. It has brought us to this very moment. Together. It's all that matters.

I look at you, Arizona, and I see the same woman I fell in love with all those years ago and still such a different one.

And… Do you like what you see?

I love it. Every bit of it. - She left the food on the table and put a hand on the blonde's right cheek. - I love your super magic smile with those dimples pumping out. And those babies blue? Gosh! My weakness! – She said smiling, while Arizona, looked at her in awe. - I love the way your laughter sounds when you are around Sofia. It's my favorite sound in the world. I love the kind of mother that you are with her and I feel like I should tell you that, just in case. And I am so so proud of you, for the surgeon that you've become. You are wonderful, Arizona. And you show me every day what an amazing person you are. You were able to forgive me and give me another chance. You have such a huge heart. The truth is, I love everything about you, Arizona, even your cranky humor when you just woke up!- She said chuckling - I love YOU… and I don't think I´ve ever stopped loving you. I love you so much, Arizona. - She didn't even wait for a response. She kissed the woman in front of her as if it was the last time she would ever do it. It was soft but such a deep kiss. It was the kind of kiss that says so much more than words, if there were anything left to say. Callie could feel how tiny tears were rolling down of Arizona's cheek. She pulled away from her mouth and dried the tears with her lips, softly.

I've been dreaming to hear those words from you for so long. -Arizona said with her eyes still closed. She knew Callie was staring at her, waiting for an answer. She took all the time she needed to open her eyes. And Callie let her. She patiently waited because she knew how scared Arizona once was about all this. And she was holding her close and she was never going to let her go again. Arizona looked straight into brown eyes. - I love you, Calliope. More than anything in this world. Don't you ever leave me again, okay? Because I'm not gonna let you this time.

Never. - she said. They sealed the deal with a kiss. A kiss that started as a sweet kiss but it was rapidly turned into a passionate one. Callie was the first to part her lips, allowing Arizona in with her tongue. Callie could hardly move, Arizona had made her way upon her and won the battle. She started kissing Callie's neck softly all the way down to her collarbone, kissing and sucking, she enjoyed every moan Callie was giving her in exchange.

Let's go to my room- Arizona said out of breath. The couch was getting too small for them. She stepped off of Callie and helped her up. The brunette hardly made a few steps before pinning Arizona against the wall with her back to her. She pulled the blonde's t- shirt up within a second and started to leave wetted traces all across the blonde's back. Once in her bra, she softly started to unhooking it, making Arizona's body answered with goosebumps. The blonde finished taking it off, while Callie kept kissing her back the way up to her neck again. Arizona turned around to make eyes contact with Callie, letting her half naked body to be seen. The brunette's face redden with the view.

You're so beautiful - She said.

Take yours off, too. - Arizona said, already in the task of helping her.

Once Callie's body was exposed to the blonde, her blue eyes were darker and filled with lust. She grabbed Callie by her waist and kissed her again. Callie's hands wander to Arizona's body. They've been missing each other for so long nothing was enough. They headed to the bedroom and in a flash, Arizona pushed Callie to the bed and laid on top of her, capturing Callie's lips in a searing kiss. When they finally needed the air they stopped, and looked at each other's in the eyes.

I've been waiting this moment for so long… - Callie said, caressing Arizona's cheeks.- I want you, I NEED you-She whispered in Arizona's ear.

And me? - she said - you have no idea, Calliope. God, you are so hot - She bit Callie's lower lip not so hard but enough to make the Latina's body shiver. With her left hand tangle in Callie's hair, she used her right one to try and unbutton the brunette's pants. Once she succeed, she slowly went down from sucking Callie's collarbone to her neck, to her breasts, where she took them both into her hands and squeezed them. Callie groaned in approval, making Arizona arousal to increase. With her fingers still playing with Callie's nipples, Arizona slowly lowered her head so that she could leave traces of kisses in Callie's stomach on her way down to the top of her pants. Once in there, she raised her head and looked at Callie. She wanted to see her. She wanted to taste every second of this moment. Callie's eyes open at the lack of touching and saw Arizona with a mischievous and luxury smile.

Arizona…- Callie begged- Please…

And so Arizona put her abilities to work.

After two rounds of showing how much they love AND want one another, they were wrapped up into each other's arms, in silence, listening to the rain pouring that hadn't stopped for a moment.

Arizona's head was on Callie's chest while the brunette caressed her blonde hair. They stood like that for a while, enjoying every second of this so long awaited moment.

Arizona softly lift up her head so she could look at Callie who had her eyes closed.

I can tell you are staring…- Callie said with her eyes still closed.

I am. I'm photographing you with that smile across your face so I never, ever forget it. This is how I wanna see you forever. I'm gonna do everything in my hands, to always keep it there.- Callie opened her eyes and her smile was even widen with the blonde's words.

You are the reason for this smile, Arizona. As long as we and Sofia are together as a family I can't ask for anything else.

You have turned my world upside down Callie, again. All this… changes me, this… is giving it a new meaning to my life. You complete me. I'm so in love with you, Calliope. I love you – Arizona said in a whisper. - So so much..- She kissed her on her cheeks and closed her eyes, resting her head in Callie's shoulder.

This is how I want everyday to be. I want to have you in my arms. This is my favorite place in the world, Arizona. Here. With you. – Her hand was tracing softs paths in Arizona's arm.

So is mine. We are not gonna lose this again. I'm not going to let you go, Callie. - And with a playful smile she added- You won't get rid of me so easily next time.- She said with a smirk in her face.

Oh! There won't be a next time, baby!- She smiled and rapidly got back to serious- We have lost so much in the past few years, but the love we feel for one another has been intact through the time. It is strong, Babe, the strongest feeling I have ever felt for anyone. You are the love of my life, Arizona. I love you so much.- Callie trapped Arizona's lips in one short but so intense kiss, while a tear of happiness rolled down her cheek. When they lips stopped touching, Callie took Arizona's hands in hers - We are in this together. Forever.

Forever- Arizona smiled back, squeezing Callie's hands in reassurances.

They have never been more ready to take this journey together, again. No matter what it could come in the future, they will pull through. No matter where life will take them, they were going to be together because finally, everything feels right again, everything makes sense and no one and nothing was missing anymore.
