I would like to thank my readersfor reviewing the last chapter. In fact, to be frank, I was about to post Chapter 9 following Chapter 8, but your reviews made me to change the entire chapter. Trust me I had a hard time… I could not study whole day just because I kept thinking about making Callie to follow Arizona.

Still not sure if I was able to do justice. Let me know. I am a readers' writer- I will only write if my readers want me to do that.

And there is one author named "CalzonaAndDemi", she is awesome. Her new story "Second Lady" is a masterpiece.

Chapter 9

Callie almost jumps out of her bed after barely an hour sleep- her cheeks are still moist out of crying. I have to catch up with her, I cannot let it happen, while talking to herself Callie looks at the watch. It is 2 in the morning. She calls the airlines to book a flight towards Arizona's parents' home. Whatever it is, I have to go after her. But unfortunately, there is no available seat till next noon. Callie thinks for a while before grabbing the phone again. She calls the airlines again to book a return ticket to Seattle and books another two tickets to Arizona's parents' home at 10 from Seattle.

Callie reaches Seattle around 4 in the morning. She leaves a message to Meredith to bring Sophia home around 7 in the morning before she crashes down on the bed. I will do everything to get you back, she closes her tired eyes.

-"Callie, tell me what happened?" Meredith asks while helping Callie getting ready for the airport. Sophia is still sleepy; Meredith is almost struggling with her to get her dressed up.

-"Nothing, Barbara wants to meet Sophia"

-"You want me to believe this crap?"

-"Mer, please I have to go now", Callie quickly thanks Meredith and heads towards the airport taking Sophia with her.

Arizona wakes up from her bed almost feeling like drunk. She even does not want to get up, but she is too hungry. When she reached last night, her parents were not at home. They went to New York to attend an ex-marine seminar. In fact, Arizona knew about this, but she totally forgot about this because of what happened at LA. Thankfully the key was under the mat, as it always has been. Thinking about the scene between Callie and Penny, she feels a kind of knot in her stomach. On an impulse she calls Simi while preparing her late breakfast.

-"hey, Simi how are you?"

-"how was your conference with the would be Harper Avery winner?" Simi questions excitingly.

-"I am at my parents' home," Arizona says flat.

-"everything okay?"

-"Nope, in my life nothing could be okay. The day when it would be okay, I will be surprised," Arizona says dejectedly.

-"would you like to share?" Arizona also needs to tell this to somebody to release herself a bit. So, she informs Simi what happened in LA in short. "Ari, I think you are missing something", Simi says confusingly. "I have seen Dr. Torres- the way she looks at you and she called you to meet and now it makes no sense". "Simi, I do not know."

-"You know I have a day off. Will you mind if I come to see you?"

-"ooo please come, I am feeling lonely. You can stay at my place too"

-"thanks for asking. But my sister also lives there, so I will be staying with her. Please text me the address."

-"Thanks, I will wait for you at the breakfast."

Dropping the phone, Arizona eats the breakfast while turning the TV on. She does not feel like doing anything. May be she can order some home delivery. She has two days to cool everything down.

Around 1, Arizona hears the doorbell. She opens the door assuming the delivery from KFC has arrived. As she opens the door, an enthusiastic Sophia jumps on her, "mama". Sophia wraps around her leg. Arizona slowly bents down to pick the smiling kid, while looking at Callie, who is standing somewhat awkwardly at the door. "Hey, baby, mama missed you," she kisses Sophia and Sophia also kisses her back. Holding the kid in her laps, she slowly moves backward still not knowing what is happening. Sophia quickly gets down and run towards her grandparents' bedroom thinking that they might be there.

Seeing Callie a familiar anger starts forming in her. She always has been the tempered one. Probably, this has been the reason that she could not hold her marriage with Callie. Arizona's eyes becomes icier- she even does not bother to invite the standing Callie inside. "Callie, thanks for bringing Sophia and sorry that I could not inform you about my visit here."

-"Arizona, you need to know that"

-"Nothing is there I need to know. Whatever you want to do with your girlfriend, you may do."

-"I wanted to tell you…," Callie is interrupted by the angrier Arizona, "Callie, I am over with you and I promise that I will be over with your big heart."

-"You are angry. Just give me a chance to explain," Callie almost pleads still standing at the door.

-"No," Arizona stops looking at the standing Sophia at the bedroom room. She has never seen her parents arguing. Arizona suddenly smiles, "hey, see mommy is so bad, she wants to go to meet her friend leaving us". She glares back making Callie shocked. She has never thought that Arizona even will not let her come inside the house. Her eyes starts forming water and she slowly backs of leaving the door open.

By the time, Arizona looks back Callie is gone. She immediately feels terrible for being so rude to her. But, she just could not control herself. Last night, she felt so betrayed, but now Callie is here with Sophia. While explaining Sophia where her grandparents are, she starts realizing that something she truly has missed.

Callie checks in a hotel almost in a state of oblivion. She still cannot believe that Arizona says she is over with her and almost has kicked her out of the house. Callie feels so angry at her ex-wife. How could she do this to me? She at least could have asked me to come inside. She was the one who cheated and broke everything between us and now she is blaming me for having a big heart. Yes, I have a big heart, which has always raced for this tempered woman.

At the hotel bar:

-"Mer I cannot carry this anymore, I have decided to stop this", a drunken Callie says to Meredith over phone.

-"good, so going back to the ex?" Meredith is actually happy.

-"nooooo! Arizona does not want me," Callie remembers the way Arizona flew away from her as if she was a plague and later she almost kicked her out from her home.

-"but…" before Meredith could finish her words; Callie gets up and says, "I have to go. Mer, I will come back tomorrow," she hangs up the phone. Callie is happy at her mental strength. She can be okay without that blonde. She suddenly remembers her and Arizona's pizza nights. It was not always sex, of course they had amazing sex, and in fact sex with Arizona was the best in her experience. But it was more than that. It was easy with Arizona. During her married life, the best part was her wife could pacify her just by holding the hands. She starts heading towards her room.

Do you think that Arizona was too rude?

Writing about Callie and Arizona makes me realize that sometimes too much love also causes pain.
