Author's Note: I thought maybe we could do with some light stuff this week.

Callie re-entered Sarah's room. Arizona was still sat with the teenager but the atmosphere had lightened from when she left. There was even a smile on the girl's face.
"Everything okay?" The brunette asked, announcing her presence in the room.
"Yeah, we're good." Arizona said as she stood up. "Who was on the phone?"
"Just Jonathon; it was about a supplier."
"Can you get my parents?" Sarah asked. "I need to apologise for being a bitch."
"They're waiting just down the hall. We'll get them on our way out if you think you'll be okay." Callie explained. Sarah nodded in response.
"Well I'm ready to go. I've got all I need." Arizona declared, taking her girlfriend's hand. "It was really good to talk with you Sarah."
"Yeah, sorry again."
"Stop apologising. We're fine."
The two women left the room and spoke briefly with the girl's parents before the blonde pulled the other woman into the elevator.
"You were really good with her. You know if you were sick of being a surgeon with all the long hours and stress you could always come work for me."
"Yeah sure because there's no long hours or stress at the centre."
"Good point. Although I could do this more often if we worked in the same building."
"What hold hands?" She smiled innocently.
"No." Callie shook her head and moved closer to capture her partner's lips. The blonde pulled away for a moment.
"I think that would be inappropriate in front of the kids." She smirked before re-engaging the kiss.
They were broken apart by the ping of the elevator doors. As they opened Derek was stood with a woman on the other side. Arizona looked a little embarrassed and pulled Callie out before she could be shown up anymore.
"Hey Callie. How are you these days?" The man asked.
At that the brunette stopped allowing Arizona to lead her away.
"I'm good thank you. You know, back to the usual level of crappy functioning. Sorry if I was a difficult patient."
"You were." Arizona chimed in.
"It's fine. And this is my wife Meredith. Meredith this is Callie."
"Yeah it's nice to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you." Meredith said as she stretched out a hand. Callie gladly shook it.
"Is that right?" She asked with a questioning look to Arizona.
"Oh no. I've mainly heard stories from Mark. I'm not sure I should really believe him."
"You probably shouldn't." The blonde insisted.
"Did he tell you the one with Arizona's mother?"
"Calliope! Don't you dare."
Before Callie could respond Derek and Meredith's pagers both went off.
"Maybe some other time." Derek said as he and his wife got into an elevator.
"You are not telling them that story." Arizona insisted as she moved to stand opposite her girlfriend.
"I wasn't gonna mention the dancing- just how drunk she was." Callie smiled and placed her hands on the other woman's hips.
"If you do I'll..."
"You'll?"
"Stop having sex with you." Callie laughed abruptly and Arizona crossed her arms in defiance. She lowered her voice as they were still in the hospital lobby. "I mean it. You tarnish my mother's reputation and you won't get lucky for a long time."
"That's not very nice darling."
"Tough." She felt the hands on her hips hold her a little tighter.
"You really think you'd be able to resist me?"
"Oh you are so full of yourself."
"Hey, if there's one thing I can do it's get a girl a naked."
"I'm not just any girl though."
"Oh trust me I know that."
They both stared at each other for a minute to see who would back down first in their little game. Honestly Arizona wasn't sure she could resist her girlfriend's charm. Even just standing there now Callie's perfume was intoxicating and those hands anywhere on her body were always almost too much. Luckily the brunette spoke first.
"Fine. Your mother's behaviour at the club will stay a secret."
"Thank you."
"Including the copious amount of alcohol she drank."
"Good."
"However if the security footage of her and Mark Sloan dancing gets out it had nothing to do with me." At that Arizona pushed Callie away in mock anger but she smiling far too wide.
"Take me home Calliope."
"Gladly."
The pair walked hand in hand back to Arizona's car but before she had a chance to open the door Callie had her pressed against it.
"What are you..." She didn't get a chance to finish her question as the answer became clear. The brunette had both hands on Arizona's face as she kissed her slowly and blue eyes fluttered shut. They were once again interrupted by the ring of a phone. "You should get that." The surgeon whispered breathlessly.
Reluctantly Callie reached into her pocket and brought the phone to her ear. "Hello." She stood listening to whoever was on the other end for a few minutes. She moved away from her partner and began walking around as she processed what she was being told. When she hung up she looked at Arizona and sighed.
"Duty calls?" The blonde surmised.
"One of the other guys can handle it if you want us to..."
"Yeah because you'll be able to stop worrying about it. Whatever it is. What's happened?"
Callie began pacing in front of Arizona. "Harry's sister got in a fight with a neighbour because the neighbour called Harry a name."
"A name?"
"She called him a retard and Ella, his sister, went nuts apparently. Now he's at the centre about to explode over the whole thing."
"Hey. Come here."
She did as she was told and moved back to press her body against her girlfriend's and took her hands. "What?"
"You should go and talk to Harry. If only because I should at least start that paper today and as much as I want you to take me home and do all sorts of dirty things to me that would be quite the distraction."
"You're probably right. How about I go sort this out and then I meet you at The Acorn for a picnic on the roof, seeing as it's not raining."
"Sounds good. I'll go get us some food and go straight there. I can get some work done while I wait."
"See you there then."
"Yeah I love you." Arizona said as sincerely as always before giving her a quick kiss goodbye.
"I love you too. Bye." After another kiss Callie left to find a cab and the blonde got in her car.
