Oh lord, what's this? Is this an actual update? IT IS! I feel so horrible... It's been months since my last update. Unfortunately I had some horrible, and I do mean horrible, writer's block and I started the hardest part of my high school years in August. Going full IB doesn't have any perks to a teenager other than an overload of stress and too many assignments that could never be completed. Enough of me, and on to the story... I hope that you enjoy this new installment of the story, and I hope that I didn't lose many of you wonderful readers.

The weeks following Mark's accident were hard. Sofia didn't want to leave the hospital and the babies were making Callie and Arizona work around the clock. It was nearing the end of summer, Mark was being released from the hospital, and Sofia was throwing a temper tantrum.

"But I want to go to daddy's house!"

"Sofia, you know that you can't. He's going to his house and he has to rest. He can't play with you like you want."

"It's not fair! You can't play with me either. Nobody wants to play!" Sofia whined.

"Sofia Robbin, we were just playing princess. Now you're throwing a fit. I think that you need a nap just like the babies."

"NO!" she yelled. "I don't want to!"

"Be quiet! You're going to wake up the…" Callie's phone ringing but her off before she could finish the sentence. "Calm down Sofia, or I'm going to set you down for a nap."

Sofia sat pouting in her play room and Callie walked out into the hallway.

"Hello?"

"Calliope!"

"Arizona? What's wrong?"

"Uh, Mark wanted to know if you could possibly bring Sofia over?" Arizona stated more as a question than fact.

"What do you mean? Bring her to him where? Anyways, the babies are napping."

"He had me paged to his room, and instead of calling you himself, he asked if I could get you to bring Sofia over when he got home from the hospital."

"No, I'm not going to bring her anywhere. Tell him to go home and rest, and maybe next week we can bring her over there. Also, tell him to just call himself instead of getting a middle man."

"Okay, thanks. I love you, Calliope."

"I love you too." Callie hung up the phone and went back to her pouting six year old.

Callie couldn't help but laugh at Sofia. She was sitting with her back to the door, legs straight out and her arms across her chest. She definitely was a Torres woman when it came to her fiery attitude.

"Come on Sofia, it's nap time."

"I don't want to take a nap. I'm not tired!"

"If you don't take a nap then I'm not going to take you to the movies tonight. I don't want to spend the evening with a grumpy child."

Sofia sat there for a moment, pondering upon her options. Reluctantly, she stood up and started making her way into her bedroom. Callie followed her and made sure that she was getting into her bed.

"Goodnight, sweetie."

"It's not night time, momma," Sofia stated, trying to sound smarter than her mom.

"You're right, but you are going to sleep. I don't want to see or hear you for at least two hours. Okay?"

"Two hours? That's a long time!"

"Two hours, Sofia."

"Okay, and then movie, right?"

"No, we have to wait until your mom gets home to watch the babies."

"Fine," Sofia started to pout again. She flopped down onto her bed and she was almost instantly asleep. She woke up too early, and wore herself out too fast.

Callie walked out of the room fit for a princess and breathed a relaxing sigh. All of her children were asleep for the time being, and she had some free time. Her only necessity was to figure out what she should do. There were many things that had to be done, but she just wanted to throw her feet up and read a book or turn on the TV and watch something other than Disney or princesses.

She made her way to the bookshelf that Arizona and her set up and expanded over the years. She looked at all the books, and just randomly pulled one off the shelf. It was a book that she had never seen before, but it looked like it would be interesting enough.

Callie made her way to the couch and opened the front cover to read the synopsis. She was barely able to learn that the book was about a kitten that was found in the drop box of a library when he was only a couple weeks old before she heard a cry from the nursery.

The babies had been asleep for close to an hour, so it shouldn't have been surprising that they were starting to wake now. Their afternoon naps only lasted about an hour, an hour and a half at the most.

Putting the book on the coffee table, Callie made her way to the nursery before all of them woke up. The last thing she wanted right now was three four month olds up and crying at the same time.

As soon as Callie got to the door to the babies' room, she knew instantly who was awake and crying. Her youngest child, Adalynn was starting to wail, and it was most likely hunger that was causing her to cry.

Callie gently picked her up and wiped the tears from her shining blue eyes. At only a few months old, she was already a drop dead gorgeous person. Callie was definitely going to have to watch her and her sister with a hawk's eye. No boys, or girls, for either of them, ever.

She carried the infant out of the room and brought her into the kitchen. She put her into a baby seat and started to make a bottle. She knew the other two would be awake soon, so she proceeded to make two more bottles. Already four months into this new, but wonderful, change, and Callie was still adjusting. It was so much easier when Sofia was a baby, because it was just her.

She grabbed a prepared bottle, grabbed her daughter, and started feeding her. Adalynn grabbed the bottle and sucked it down as fast as her body would let her.

She got through her entire bottle before either of her siblings woke up and Callie quickly burped her. She set Addie back down and got up to get the next crying baby.

This time, it was her son crying. Before she brought him out, she needed to change his diaper. By the time she finished changing his soiled diaper, the third baby, Charlotte, was up and crying. She laughed to herself as she picked up Ethan, grabbed her daughter and made her way out into the kitchen.

She thanked God that she had prepared all the bottles when Adalynn woke up as she set the babies in their baby seats next to the awake and happy child. She grabbed the bottles and sat in a chair. She arranged the babies where she could still she Addie, but was able to feed the other two at the same time, and then she started to feed her children.

A couple of hours later, Callie was playing with the triplets on a blanket in the living room. They were playing with some random baby toys that had been given to them by their friends throughout the past couple of months, and the babies were having a blast. The babies were giggling and screeching with happiness, and Callie couldn't wipe the cheesy grin off of her face.

Callie heard the door open as she was picking up some toy keys, and she looked up to see her wife rush through the door. She looked like she had a crappy day, and just wanted it to be over.

"You will never believe the day that I've had," Arizona exclaimed as she threw her purse down by the shoe rack next to the front door.

"Is everything okay, sweetie?" Callie asked, concerned, as she put the toy keys down and stood up.

"Mark has been on my case all day about being able to see Sofia, and he sure wasn't taking no for an answer. Then I told him to talk to you, because I was working, and he refused. He kept having me paged, he was constantly texting me, and he even called me a couple times. He wouldn't stop bugging me, trying to get me as his proxy.

"After he kept yelling at me for not getting his way, a kid from the cancer wing took a turn for the worst. He needed an emergency surgery, and it's just been a roundabout crappy day," Arizona rambled on, almost too fast to be understandable.

"I'm sorry you had a bad day," Callie sincerely said, pulling her wife in for a hug. She gave Arizona a kiss on the head and just stood there for a moment.

"It's not that it was a horrible day, but more about Mark not knowing when to stop. By the way, where's Sofia?"

"I left her in her room to take a nap over two hours ago. She was throwing a tantrum when you called earlier."

"Let me guess, you threatened our six year old daughter to get her to lay down in order for some quiet time."

"She wants to see that new Disney movie, and maybe I wanted a little quiet time. I couldn't even enjoy some time alone. I wasn't even able to open up to the first chapter before Addie woke up and started crying. Then when I finished feeding her, the other two woke up."

"Karma is a bitch, Calliope, remember that." They both started to laugh, and then they heard a pitter-patter coming down the hallway.

"Mommy!" Sofia yelped and ran into her mother's arms.

"Why hello Miss Sofia, did you have a nice nap?" Arizona asked while Callie smoothed down the child's bed head.

"Come on, Sofia, let's get you a snack," Callie said. "You didn't eat much lunch." They walked into the kitchen and Callie gave Sofia a bowl of Goldfish crackers.

"Is it time for the movie yet?" Sofia asked.

"Not yet. Eat your crackers."

"When does the movie start?" Arizona asked.

"It's in 45 minutes. I'm going to go change so we can leave soon. Can you please make sure that Sofia eats her crackers? She wouldn't touch her sandwich at lunch."

Callie left Arizona and all four kids and went to the master bedroom. She changed out of the clothes that she was wearing into something more suitable to go into public wearing. She threw on a pair of shoes, and walked back into the living room where her family was. She couldn't help but smile. There was a point in history where she thought a sight like this would never be possible.

"Sofia, are you ready to go? I'm going to grab your shoes and then we can go."

"Yay! Movie time!"

Fifteen minutes later, Callie and Sofia were at the movie theater. Callie and Arizona decided to let Sofia have one special day with each of her mothers before school started in a few weeks. She decided to go to the movies with Callie, but she was more excited to see the movie than she was to spend time with her momma.

After the movie was over, Callie decided to take Sofia to the ice cream shop that they frequented when Sofia was younger. It used to be a family date before Callie and Arizona decided on expanding their family and the triplets were born. It was a little bit too much of a hassle to keep doing this regularly.

Callie ordered Sofia a strawberry ice cream with purple sprinkles, and she ordered herself rocky road ice cream with cookie crumbs. They chose a table and started to chow down on their frozen delights.

"Are you ready to be in the first grade?"

"No. I don't wanna go back to school."

"You know that you have to go to school."

"Nuh-uh. I can stay home like the babies."

"You know that the babies are too small to go to school. And I thought that you were excited to go shopping for your school supplies in a couple days. You were more than excited when we talked about it last week."

"I can get the princess pencils!" Sofia's face lit up.

"You did say that you wanted them. If they have them, I'm sure it'll be okay if we got them for you."

"Yay, I can get princess pencils!"

"Alright Sofia, it's getting late. Finish up your ice cream so we can get home. Your mom is probably going crazy taking care of the babies alone."

"Momma?"

"Yes, Sofia?"

"Thank you for taking me to the movies."

"You're welcome, sweetie."

"I love you."

"I love you too, sweetheart. Let's go home."
