Part 6
So Callie arrived at Arizona's house. She saw her daughter playing with her ex-wife and she didn't want to interrupt because they looked happy and she knew they needed that. So she went to the kitchen to where Barbera was and checked with Barbera if they were doing fine.
Barbera
Callie, I was wondering if we will see you today.
Callie
Hi, I'm just checking in, will leave as soon as I know everything is fine
Barbera
We are doing ok, we arranged everything. The memorial is on Saturday here in Seattle, we will also have another memorial smaller back home later on.
Callie
Thanks for letting me know.
Barbera
Callie you know you can come by anytime and you can even stay for dinner tonight.
Callie
I don't want to intrude and I don't want upset Arizona.
Arizona
Upset me? Why? What did you do?
Barbera
I invited Callie for dinner.
Arizona
Why would that upset me?
Then Arizona left the kitchen with the popcorn she came to fetch for her and Sofia.
Callie
Is your daughter bi-polar?
The two woman burst into laughing. Barbera smiled at Callie with appreciation for the laugh Callie just gave her.
Barbera
You know how she gets when the loss is too big.
Callie
Yes I do and even after all this time. I'm still the enemy. Like with her leg, I can understand. I told them to cut it off. With the custody battle, when she thought she will lose Sofia that was me jumping the gun too. But this I didn't cause this that's why is she so distant?
Barbera
Maybe ask her? Only she would know.
Callie
You're her mother surely you know.
Barbera
Did you know about Sofia wanting to stay at her school in Seattle?
Callie
What? No she loves New York.
Barbera
Did she tell you that?
Callie
Yes.
Barbera
Our kids know that we are happy if they are happy. Seeing us happy makes them happy. So they sometimes lie about how they feel. She wants to be in Seattle. She told Arizona and Arizona told her she must be with you for a while so that you can be in the same happy place as she(Arizona) is.
Callie
What why would Arizona do that?
Barbera
Because well you were in a bad place when Penny left. I asked her because her doing that, me confused too.
Callie
Me too. I mean really she should've told me. She can't give up Sofia's happiness for mine.
Barbera
Sofia's and hers. She is miserable without her daughter and yes I'm not with her every day but I know my daughter. Also she is a mother. I'm not with my daughter everyday and my daughter is a grown ass woman but I still miss her every day like crazy.
Callie
I can't believe her.
Arizona
Can't believe who?
Callie
Can we talk?
Arizona
Now?
Then Callie's phone rang and it was Penny.
Arizona
You should answer.
Callie
Hello Penny.
Penny
Hey, so how long are you staying?
Callie
The memorial is on Saturday, so I'll check for flights for next Friday. I will just have to check with Arizona if that's okay with her.
Penny
Why do you have check with her? For Sofia?
Callie
Yes for Sofia.
Penny
And if she says Sofia should stay are you coming?
Callie
I guess I have to right?
Penny
No, you don't have to. It is about you wanting too.
Callie
Can we not do this now?
Penny
You with Arizona?
Callie
I'm at her house with her mom and Sofia.
Penny
I have to go send my love and support to everyone.
Callie
Thank you.
Penny
Bye.
Callie
Bye Penny.
Arizona
Wow that was very loving.
Barbera
Sarcasm never looked good on you.
Arizona
I know right. Callie what did you wanna talk about?
Sofia
Mama look, I drew a unicorn for grandpa.
Callie
We can talk later.
Let me see that unicorn, mija. It is beautiful.
Sofia
Mommy said I can leave it with grandpa so that he has a picture and knows which one to pick.
Callie
I think that's a great idea.
Arizona
What do you guys want to eat?
Sofia
PIZZZZZA!
The two women looked at each other and smiled because they knew Sofia's excitement when it comes to pizza derived from them.
Arizona
Pizza it is.
Barbera called to put in the order. Arizona went and put on frozen for Sofia as she's been watching it ever since the movie surfaced. All she wanted to be was Elsa. She normally watches frozen and then she makes Callie sing to her. Arizona didn't know of this stunt of her making Callie sing. The girls watched frozen, ate pizza and before they knew it, it was just before ten. Callie was about to leave with Sofia but Arizona asked Callie if Sofia could spend night. Callie did not hesitate. Sofia wouldn't let Callie leave without singing to her. She toyed with her mama's feelings saying that it would help her sleep. Callie agreed to help her get bathed and also tuck her in. Callie and Arizona bathed her and then they both went to tuck her in. Callie sang to her but the little brunette didn't look like she is about to fall asleep.
Callie
Mija you need to go to sleep.
Sofia
I'm not tired.
Callie
I have to go before it gets too late.
Sofia
No mama, stay till I'm asleep please.
Arizona
It is getting late baby. We don't want mama driving around when it's late, right?
Sofia
No we don't
Callie
So I'm going to sing you one more song okay baby?
Sofia
Or you could have a sleep over with us? You can sleep in my room.
The two women looked at each other. Sofia was looking at them anxiously.
Sofia.
Will you mama? Please?
Callie and Sofia's attention both turned to Arizona. Both waiting on her to answer Sofia's question.
