Arizona's POV
So I opened my big mouth and told Callie I wanted to tell her something. It is more like I wanted to ask her something. I'm so nervous right now. I don't even know what she will say. I just hope she doesn't freak out. I hope she doesn't take it the wrong way either. We are facing each other. I'm in her arms and I can see the look on her face. It is look of confusion. I can tell that she has no idea what I'm about to ask. Even though I'm very scared and nervous of her reaction but I have to tell her tonight. Tomorrow is my last day of chemo and who knows what will happen after that. Tonight is my only chance. Actually now is my only chance.
Callie
Are you going to tell me now or what?
Arizona
Yes give me time to think first.
Callie
You didn't think this through?
Arizona
Actually I did. It was all I could think of. This whole week I thought about it.
I want to ask you this but I don't want you to take it the wrong way. I don't want you to think that I'm asking you this to use you.
Callie
For God sake Arizona, ask and get it over with.
Arizona
I want you to stay. I don't want you to go to New York. I want you to stay with me and Sofia in Seattle. I'm not saying we should be together again. I just need you to stay here in Seattle. I need you. I've always needed you. When you are around I always feel the need to take care of myself for both you and Sofia, even when we are not together. I'm not saying move in with me but I need you just a few minutes away. I don't know how to deal with my father's death and I don't know how to deal with this but you being here made it so much easier. I know this might sound like I'm using you but I'm not. Having you here made me want to fight this whirlwind of emotions I'm having. I know you have Penny in New York and it is fine if you don't want to stay. Just know that you don't have to stay forever, I just want you here now.
Callie's POV
I cannot believe Arizona had just asked me to stay. To be honest I was hoping she wanted more than me just staying. I'm certainly not going back to New York because my life is here. How could I have ever left everything behind when I wasn't even sure that Penny was the one? My decision to stay in Seattle has nothing to do with Arizona asking me to stay. I decided to stay two days ago. We were sitting in the bathroom. I held up Arizona's hair while she was puking. She was feeling really bad and she asked me to do something so she would feel better. I tried cracking jokes but she told me I was making really bad jokes. Then we started talking about the good old days. We talked about her and Mark's weird food obsession and how I had to practically throw him out of the house to get laid. We talked about her super powers. We also talk about how Sofia always wanted to have dance parties. We were reminiscing the good old days. The flash backs made me miss my life here in Seattle so much. Not just the life with her but also my work and my friends. Though I wanted more from Arizona, I also know that us not being together is the best thing right now. I'll be here for her whenever she needs me. So I told her I'm staying.
Callie
I'm staying.
Arizona
Wait what? You are?
Callie
Yes but not because you asked. I want to stay. I realised two days ago that I wanted to stay here in Seattle. Seattle is my home.
Arizona
Well now I feel stupid.
Callie
No, don't feel stupid. If I were you I'd probably want me here too. I'm a goddess, who wouldn't want me here.
Arizona
A Goddess no! Conceited yes.
Callie
That's not what you said last time…
Arizona
Don't flirt with me now. Flirting complicates things.
Callie
Okay, no flirting.
Arizona
I'm sooooo sooo happy you are staying.
Callie
Me too. Go sleep now. We have a long day tomorrow.
So I'm staying in Seattle. I'll probably have to buy a house or an apartment. We went back to sleep and waking up with blonde hair smothering me makes my heart very happy. I got up to get Sofia ready for school and Arizona was getting dressed for her last day of chemo. We dropped of Sofia and when we got to the hospital everybody was asking why we looked so happy. Bailey and Alex immediately jumped to all kinds of conclusions. We killed the gossip dead in its tracks. I wanted to ask Bailey for my job back but Arizona beat me to it. She told Bailey I want my job back. Actually her exact words were. "Hey Bailey, Callie is moving back to Seattle. So she'll see you Monday to sort out formalities just before she starts her rounds okay." We didn't even discus me asking for my old job back. She just asked without me telling her anything.
Do I need to ask for my job back though? I mean I do own part of the hospital. In anyway Arizona asking or rather telling Bailey was real sexy. Bailey's face was funny though. Her whole face said: "did she just try to schedule my diary for me". I know Bailey is probably still angry because I left but she'll have to forgive me because she hid Arizona's tumour from me. I'll just throw that in her face.
Just when I thought we were done with hearing that we are getting it on in the dark, Meredith Grey arrived. She too asked why Arizona and I was so overly happy. Arizona went to get ready for chemo and Mer and I was standing in the hall, waiting for the nurse to tell me when I can go in. Mer asked me if we had sex again and I told her we did not. I also told her what Arizona asked me and what I told Arizona. Then Mer went on a little rant. According to Meredith Grey, Arizona and I are blind and stupid because we don't realize what we have. She feels that we need to get our heads out of our arses. She is probably right but to give us a fair chance we need to be friends first. Mer suggested that we have a party seeing that this is Arizona's last day of chemo. I asked her if we could do it at her place and if it could be something small and intimate.
When Arizona was done with chemo, we picked up our girl from school. We prepared for dinner at Mer's house. Arizona was not feeling well at all and it was 4 already. I wanted to ask Mer to postpone but Arizona was positive that the nausea would be over by then. So I didn't argue with her super powers. When the time came for us to leave for Mer's house, she felt better. We had so much fun at the dinner. I drank and enjoyed myself. I got a bit tipsy. Sofia had a sleepover with Zola because tomorrow was Saturday. Arizona said she'd drive us home because she felt better. I was tipsy and Bailey was feeding my mind with naughty things. Probably because she was drunk too.
Bailey
You are salsa dancing tonight aren't you?
Callie
What? No I'm not. I told you we not having sex.
Bailey
Then why are you still staying with her?
Callie
I don't have a place to stay yet and she only had her last session today.
Bailey.
Lies! You want to tap that. You are going to tap that. I don't blame you. I mean just look at her. Those eyes alone makes you sway.
Callie
Bailey stop it.
Bailey
I don't think Arizona will ask you to stop tonight.
Callie
You are drunk.
Bailey
But I'm right. Tell me I'm lying.
Callie
You are not lying. I want her. I want to salsa so bad.
Arizona
Salsa? I asked you to teach me how to salsa when we started dating but you never did. If I knew how to salsa, I'd salsa with you.
Bailey
Oh you know how to…
Callie
Uhm…yes come I go teach you how to salsa.
Arizona
What was Bailey about to say?
Callie
Nothing, come I'll teach you how to salsa.
Arizona
There's no music, Callie.
Callie
Who cares!
I just had to get Arizona away from Bailey. We tried to dance but I was too tipsy to teach her anything good. She went to the kitchen to get me a glass of water because I got hot flushes all of a sudden. Mer wanted to what is going on and of course I told her nothing. I asked Mer if I could rather sleep at her house tonight because I just would be able to handle myself around Arizona.
Meredith
You are always welcome.
Arizona
Are you moving in with Mer? The house is already full.
Callie
No actually, I just want to sleep here tonight.
Arizona
Oh why?
Meredith
Excuse me, I'm going to check on the girls.
Callie
I'm drunk and I don't want to keep you up.
Arizona
Oh Callie, I've dealt with a drunk Calliope so many times.
Callie
Yeah and every time I got my way with you.
Arizona
Exactly, so I'm taking you home.
This was not good idea or maybe it was. The drive home was very interesting. She had to pull over a few times because it felt like I needed to puke. I didn't throw up though. The roles was reversed. Now she was the one looking after me, even though I didn't need to be looked after. I was so tipsy. I was undressing her in my head every time we looked at each other. It took so long for me to get upstairs. I don't remember her telling me that I can sleep in her bed. Nevertheless I went to her room. I undressed myself and the only thing I was wearing was my underwear. I threw myself on her bed. I did not make a move nor did I insinuate sex.
Arizona POV
God damn, the sexiest woman is on my bed. She is half naked and tipsy. A normal person would try their luck, given the situation. I however cannot. Not with our history and my current feelings. Oh screw it, I'm going for it. I started kissing her. She kissed back for a while but then she stopped to ask me if this is what I really wanted. Without any hesitation I said yes and then she started kissing me again. She unzipped my dressed. She struggled with the zipper and we immediately start to laugh. I guess we both were having flashbacks of how this used to always happen when she or I was tipsy. Finally when she undone my zipper and got rid of my dress, things started to move real fast. I started the kissing but she quickly took the lead. She did all the things I love. I was actually very surprised that she still remembered. She even had a few new moves up her sleeve and I loved them all. We had sex. It was so emotional and yes I know she was drunk and this might not have the same meaning to her but to me it meant the world. It didn't take long for Callie to fall asleep. In fact it never takes long for her too fall asleep after sex. I decided to go to sleep as well. We were spooning and this was my favourite part of sleeping with her. She is a little taller than me and I loved that because that meant that she'll be holding onto me. Her holding me makes me feel so safe. Eventually I fell asleep and I was barely asleep when her phone rang.
Arizona
Callie, wake up. Your phone is ringing.
Callie
Hi, I'm sorry who?
Oh….what?
I'm sorry what did you just say?
No, no I understand. It's just, it's impossible. How?
