*Eight years later*
"Mama! I'm sixteen! My whole life is here! You want me to get up and move?" Gabriela yells.
"Gabriela, sweetheart, I understand you're upset but-"
"We've spent the last eight years here Mom!"
Arizona bites her bottom lip, knowing that Gabriela knows she hates being called 'mom'.
"I'm sorry Gabby. I wanted to stay here too. The hospital is having problems and is downsizing. That means they are getting rid of their pediatric units. I no longer have a place to work and all the other hospitals already have doctors. I'm sorry, Gabby," Arizona admits, using the shorten version of her daughters name to express her anger.
Gabby sighs, falling back onto the couch, "I didn't know that part."
Arizona sighs as she sits next to her daughter.
"I didn't want to tell you, I thought you'd be happy to go to a new place. You always wanted to go to somewhere else. I didn't think you'd react like this," Arizona says, looking at her daughter.
"I'm sorry Mama. I just thought that we'd stay here for good. This is the same place I stayed at all those years ago. I don't want to lose that."
"Gabriela," Arizona sighs, "I know you have a lot of memories here, but I can't afford to stay here any longer. Plus, with this new job I can get us a real house. We won't have to be cramped in here. Once you make friends we will be able to have them stay over without moving a table into my bedroom. It will be good there too. I promise honey, we will make new memories."
Gabriela nods, biting her bottom lip.
"Okay, so where are we moving to?"
Arizona smiles, "thanks hiji. We are moving to Seattle."
"Are we going to fly?" she asks, wonder in her dark eyes.
"Yeah. We are."
"Oh yeah! I'm ready!"
Arizona chuckles, pressing a kiss to Gabriela's forehead.
"We have until the end of the month to pack this place up. Where do you want to start?" Arizona asks.
*Three weeks later*
"And here we are," Arizona states as she pulls into a driveway.
"It's so big for just us."
Arizona chuckles, "I know it looks that way, but soon enough it'll feel just right."
*One week later*
"So?" Arizona questions as she walks into her daughter room.
"So what?" Gabriela asks with a smile.
"Does it feel right yet?"
"Mama as long as you're here I'm good."
Arizona smiles, "I love you."
"I love you," Gabriela wraps her mother in a hug.
"You're so tall. You need to stop growing hiji," Arizona jokes.
"Mama, I'm only five four!" Gabriela protests, breaking the hug.
"And I'm only five five, so stop it."
"You know I can't help that!"
"I know sweetheart. I know."
*A few days later*
"You coming?" Arizona asks her daughter.
"Yeah! Give me a sec!" Gabriela yells from her room.
"I can't be late my first day!"
"I know!" she yells, then comes into the room, "I'm ready."
"Okay, let's go."
"Robbins? Is that you?" a women's voice asks from behind the two.
"Yeah?" Arizona questions, turning around.
What blue eyes find create a huge smile on her face.
"Bailey! Oh my god! I didn't know you still worked here!" Arizona squeals, running to and hugging the shorter woman.
"Get off me," Bailey shrugs off the woman.
"You haven't changed a bit. Gabriela, come meet this amazing woman."
Gabriela walks to the shorter woman and offers a hand, "Gabriela Rose Torres-Robbins, pleasure to meet you."
Bailey's mouth opens, looking at the young girl.
"Bailey, this is where you shake her hand and offer your name," Arizona giggles.
She shakes her head slightly, taking the offered hand, "Miranda Bailey."
"Mama I'm going to go see if I can help in the daycare. Text me when you need me," Gabriela says with a smile as she walks away.
Bailey turns to the blonde, her eyes big as dinner plates.
"I don't even know how to start," she says in a whisper scream.
"Why are you whispering?" Arizona whispers back.
Bailey rolls her eyes, grabbing the blonde by her forearm and leading her to the nearest closet.
"First off, you have a daughter? Second, you have Torres' daughter? Third, isn't that why you two broke up for so long? And finally, how are you going to tell Torres you have her daughter?" Bailey asks.
"Wait what? Calliope still works here?" Arizona questions.
"Damn right she still works here!"
"Who else still works here?"
"Well there's Torres and me. Karev came back about five years ago. Grey never left, not sure she ever will. I'm sure you heard about the plane crash and about Shepherd. Hunt went back to war. Yang owns a heart making factory. I think that's everybody."
"What about Kepner? Is she still around? I know Avery is, he's the one who offered me the job."
"Kepner is still here. She's on leave right now, but she's still here. Now answer my questions! How did you, someone who didn't want kids end up with your ex-girlfriends'?" Bailey demands.
"It's a long story."
"Shorten it."
"I found her and fell in love."
"Did you know she was Torres'?"
"Of course I did! Look at her. There's no denying Gabriela is her's. A bind man could see that. Oh god, she's here. What am I going to do?"
"I don't know Robbins, but you're going to figure it out quick. Your first case is a consult with her," Bailey says before walking out the door as if nothing happened.
Callie chuckles at the young child's joke.
"Yes, I'm glad you didn't say banana. As soon as the new peds doctor comes in and says you're alright you'll be able to go," she smiles.
"I thought doctors were never late," he says, looking up.
"Oh no, she isn't late. She's probability lost, this place is pretty big for a new doctor. I'll go find out why she isn't here yet. You sit tight."
Callie walks out of the room, going to the nearest nurse station.
"Has the new peds doctor come in yet? This kid really wants to get out of here, not to mention the parents," she questions.
"Yeah, I'm here. Sorry I'm late," a voice from the past sends chills up her spine.
Callie turns around to find the blonde who left her yelling in an airport seventeen years ago.
"Arizona?"
"Yeah, come on. Let's do this then we can talk. That poor kid has waited long enough," Arizona says, walking right into the room.
Arizona puts on a fake smile and humors the child as she checks his incision site and listens to his heart.
"Well I think you are one healthy little boy. I think you can go home," she smiles.
"Oh thank god," his mother sighs.
"One of the nurses can help you fill out the paperwork. Have a great day," Arizona says, walking back out of the room.
Callie has been watching the whole thing but hasn't said a word.
"Callie, we need to talk," Arizona says as soon as they are out of earshot of the parents.
"About what? How you left me crying in an airport? No thanks," Callie growls, walking away.
"Calliope. Please," Arizona begs, grabbing Callie's shoulder.
Callie just shrugs her hand off and continues walking. She makes sure not to look back, just like Arizona never did..
"Oh!" she exclaims as she tumbles over.
"I'm so sorry miss! I wasn't watching where I was going!" a female voice says as she helps Callie to her feet.
"It's fine, neither was I," Callie says, brushing herself off.
"Gabriela!"
Both women look towards the voice, both knowing it oh so well.
"Mama, I was looking for you and I ran into this lady," Gabriela explains.
Callie finally looks to the woman who ran into her.
"Mi dios," she gasps.
"Calliope, meet my daughter, Gabriela. Gabriela, meet your mother."
"What the fuck is this?!" Callie screams, finally alone with the blonde.
"Callie, I tried to tell you and you just kept walking," Arizona explains.
"You could have told me this sixteen years ago when you decided to adopt my child!" Callie yells.
"Callie, just calm down, please. I can explain everything."
"¿Qué coño está pasando? Tienes mi hija! ¿Cómo piensa esto? ¿Es esto una broma cruel que estás jugando conmigo? Esto no es divertido en absol-"
"Shut up!" Arizona yells, interrupting the Spanish ramblings.
"This is not a joke. I didn't plan this out. Please just sit down and I'll tell you how I found my daughter," Arizona says.
Callie sighs and does as she was told.
"Eight years ago I was going through a slump in my life and I-"
"Eight years ago? Gabriela is sixteen years old! What does eight years ago ha-"
"Don't interrupt me," Arizona growls.
Callie bites her bottom lip and remains quiet.
"As I was saying, eight years ago I was in a slump. I decided to do some pro bono work in my area. I found a small orphanage. I was about to go see the sick children when the lady who owned the place called for Gabriela. She loved taking care of the sick, so she was to show me around and tell me the kids symptoms. Of course as soon as I laid eyes on her I knew she was your daughter. I saw how much she cared for all the sick children. So I asked if I could take her with me while I got the kids looked at, to make them feel safe, you know? She stayed with me and I fell in love with her. She was a magical eight year old, she looked at everything with so much wonder. Then I was going to take her back, and she stopped me and said she didn't want to go back. She said she liked it with me and asked if she could stay. If I could be her 'Mama'. I told her that would take a long time, but I was already in love with her. I promised I would make her my daughter. I promised I'd never forget her. I fought with the courts like hell to get her to be mine. I went to countless meetings, have countless visits to make sure she would be happy with me. For ten months I fought for my daughter. It didn't matter than she was your child. Her blood has nothing to do with my love for her. I love Gabriela with all of my heart. This has nothing to do with you. I had no idea you still worked here. If you can't deal with us being here, we can leave. I don't want to hurt you anymore than I already have. I'm sorry Calliope," Arizona explains.
Callie looks into blue eyes and sees nothing but love.
"Can- Can I talk to her?" Callie stutters, tears in her eyes.
"I don't know. How about you ask her? She's right outside this room."
Callie takes a deep breath, standing up and walking to the door.
"Gabriela, I'm sorry. I did this all wrong. Hi, I'm your mom. Nice to meet you."
"Mama?"
"Yeah baby girl?" Arizona questions.
"Can we all talk together?"
"Yeah hiji," Arizona nods, walking into the room once again.
"Arizona, I'm sorry for accusing you of anything," Callie says.
"It's okay. I understand," Arizona says, sitting down on the opposite end of the couch.
"Mom, Mama, I know this may to awkward for both of you but I want to get to know my mom. Maybe spend some time with her on her days off. Would that be okay with you?" Gabriela asks the two women.
"I'd love that," Callie says with a small smile.
"I just want you to be happy Gabriela, whatever you want I'll do," Arizona says.
Gabriela smiles and gives her Mama a hug.
"I'm off in an hour. Maybe I could take you out to eat? I'll bring you back whenever your mom gets off?" Callie asks, looking to Arizona for permission.
Arizona shrugs, "sounds good to me. I get off at eight, so that gives you two three hours."
"Thank you Mama."
"Calliope?"
"Yes?"
"Don't tell her too many stories about me. If I do remember I have some about you too," Arizona winks.
Callie chuckles, "I'll make sure to keep them PG13 then."
Arizona giggles, shaking her head as her pager goes off.
"I'll see you later Gabriela, I gotta go," Arizona says, jogging out of the room.
*A year later*
"I need to talk to you two," Gabriela says.
"Gabriela! You paged 911!"
"You can't do that Gabriela!"
"Please, both of you sit," Gabriela orders, ignoring their words.
"What is it hiji? Is something wrong?" Callie asks, sitting down on the love seat.
"No, I'm fine Mom. This is about you two. Mama, sit."
Arizona sighs and sits next to Callie. Their thighs touching.
"Moms, I know."
Both women raise an eyebrow. The mirrored image on both of her parents faces cause Gabriela to laugh.
"Know what hiji?" Arizona questions the laughing teen.
She rolls her eyes and gently rests a hand on both of their knees.
"I love you two are in love still."
"What?" both women question, looking at their daughter like she's crazy.
Gabriela rolls her eyes, "I saw Mom leaving our house last week."
"I told you to leave sooner!" Arizona says, gently hitting Callie's arm.
"Shut up!" Callie playfully shoves the blonde.
"Moms," Gabriela says.
"I'm sorry honey," Callie says.
"We didn't plan to keep it from you. It was a spur of the moment thing," Arizona says.
"And then it just kept going on. Then we didn't know how to tell you. I'm sorry," Callie says.
Gabriela shake her head at her moms weirdness.
"I am like most kids. I would love for my parents to be together."
"Good."
"Because we are," Arizona chuckles, intertwining their hands.
*Two years later*
"I take you, Calliope Torres, to be my wife. In sickness and in health, bad days and good, til death do us part," Arizona says, sliding a ring onto Callie's finger.
Callie grins, finding blue eyes as she says "Arizona Robbins, I chose you to be the one with whom I spend my life. In sickness and health, bad days and grand, til death do us part."
Callie sides a ring onto Arizona's finger.
"I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Arizona and Callie smile as they lean in. Callie stops just before they connect.
"I love you," she whispers.
"I love you," Arizona whispers back before connecting their lips.
The kiss is soft and sweet with the promise of many more.
"Let's go," Arizona whispers, turning to their combined family with a smile.
"Come here," Callie orders, opening her arms to their daughter.
Gabriela happily hugs both of her mothers. The small family walks out hand in hand with huge smile.
The End.
