A/N- Yeah, yeah, I know you all hate me, but here is the next chapter. Please love me again. -A

Sofia had a blast with her father. He took her to the festival again, and then he won her a giant pink unicorn. She was soon bored with the rides, going on them countless times the day before with her mom so he took her to the arcade buffet on the other side of town, but that was almost a full week ago.

Today, Callie, Arizona, and Sofia were standing in front of the building that would house the six year old for hours a day. It was Sofia's first day of the first grade and she was less than excited.

"I don't want to go," Sofia whined.

"You were so excited to come here last night. You get to see all your friends and do lots of cool things," Arizona tried to get her daughter to take the first steps to going inside.

"I want to go home! I like being home with the babies."

"Well then, how about you go inside, learn something and one of us can pick you up and take you home with the babies?"

"Really?" Sofia's eyes widened at the idea.

"Yeah, really. We will make sure one of us is here for you, but later," Callie replied.

After thinking long and hard about the promise that her moms were presenting she replied, "Okay, but you can take me in, right?"

"Of course we can baby. But you're going to be late so let's go," Callie grabbed her daughter's hand and Arizona grabbed the other.

They got Sofia inside the school building and her classroom just fine, but when they were getting ready to leave, it was just as hard. Sofia didn't want her moms to go, but luckily Arizona's pager started going off. So after many goodbye hugs and kisses, they were off and headed to work.


'Do you think Sofia's okay?" Arizona asked Callie in front of all their friends at lunch.

"She's fine Arizona. She's probably having lunch with all of her friends right now."

"Yeah, they're probably eating lunch or playing outside," Teddy joined in after seeing how nervous her best friend looked.

"But you should have seen her this morning, Teddy. She didn't want us to leave."

"Arizona, she just wanted to stay home and be with the babies. Once she saw all of her friends, I'm sure she forgot all about wanting to be home," Callie assured her wife.

"Alright, okay," Arizona responded.

They all went back to eating and enjoying light conversation at Arizona's last statement. Only minutes later pagers started going off around the table. One by one everyone was leaving the table and that left two people: Callie and Mark.

"Sofia didn't want to go to school today?" Mark asked.

"She got used to spending the entire day with the babies and she just wanted to stay home and do the same thing today."

""So how are they doing?"

"They're good, Mark. They're getting bigger and bigger every time I look at them. How are you and Lexie?"

"We've been better. We haven't talked much since the accident."

"I'm sorry," Callie got cut off by the beeping of her pager. "Look, sorry but it's a 911 to the OR."

Callie got up and made her way to the OR where all of her friends must have gotten paged to. She scrubbed in as fast as possible and walked into pure chaos.

"The patient is coding!" a voice screamed.

"I think there is a tear in here," another yelled.

Doctors were everywhere trying to bring this patient back.

"What's going on? Why was I paged?" Callie called into the chaos.

"A 17 year old male decided to play chicken with a couple of friends and a car. The car seems to be winning this right now," one of the many doctors called back in response.

"He has a few fractures that need to be set...if he makes it," another replied.

"He's not stable, I'll leave you guys to work. I can't do anything now."

"He was responsive when we paged you, but an intern got a little too excited and tore a hole in his pericardium. Now he is unresponsive."

"Page me when he is stable," Callie said and left the OR.

She scrubbed out and made her way out of the operating wing. She caught sight of a clock and realized that someone would have to pick up Sofia in less than 45 minutes and Arizona was still in surgery for that boy and she may or may not be called into the OR at any minute.

10 minutes later, Callie was at a nurses' station filling out paperwork and caught sight of her wife and Teddy.

"We had to call TOD a few minutes after you left. Karev is notifying the mother as we speak."

"I'm sorry. Do you want to go pick up Sofia?"

"I would love to. Are you going to join me?"

"I have a patient heading up to CT for a post-op scan right now. I think he may be developing an infection in his leg post-surgery so I think I'll have to miss this one. But I will be home for dinner unless I'm needed in the OR."

"Okay," Arizona flashed her super magic smile. "I'll grab the babies and pick up Ms. Sofia."

"I love you," Callie smiled. She was in awe of her wife and the way that she looked right now in this moment and always.

"I love you too Calliope."

"Now go pick up your daughter," Callie laughed and gave Arizona a quick kiss. Callie finished up her chart and watched Arizona leave the nurses' station.


When Arizona got to the daycare, it was a hassle trying to get all three of her growing kids into their carriers and into the stroller designed for three. She looked at the clock and realized that she was going to be late to pick up her eldest from school if she didn't hurry.

"Come on babies, it's time to get Sofia," Arizona rushed them to her car and buckled the babies in safely before jumping in the driver's seat.

She made it to the school just as she could hear the dismissal bell ringing around the school .She watched as a sea of kids pouring out of the tiny building and got out of the car. She didn't want to stray from the car because it would take too long for her to get the babies out, but she didn't have to worry about that as see saw a dark haired bundle of energy hurl straight towards her.

"Sofia, walk before you fall and hurt yourself." Of course, Sofia didn't listen and tripped. Luckily she was close enough to Arizona that she reached out and caught her daughter before she plummeted to the ground. "What did I just tell you?" Arizona said angrily.

"I'm sorry mommy, but I missed you," Sofia exclaimed.

"I missed you too. Now let's get you into the car so we can head home."

"Is momma here?" Sofia asked while trying to look into the car.

"Momma had to stay at work but she promised to be home for dinner."

"The babies?"

"Are all in the car like we promised. Now let's go home and you can tell me all about your first day of first grade."


It had been hours since the Torres-Robbins clan, minus Callie, had made it home and Sofia hadn't stopped talking about school. She was able to enjoy the company of her friends and she was able to have fun and not miss the babies too much.

Arizona, the babies, and Sofia were all on the floor in the living room when Callie walked through the door. Sofia didn't waste a second jumping up to greet her mom. Callie picked up her eldest and gave her a hug.

"Hey sweetie," Arizona said, looking up from the babies. "How is your patient?"

"He's good. We started him on some antibiotics and one of the residents is looking after him. But how was Ms. Sofia's first day of school?"

"It was great! We gotta draw pictures and we wrote about summer."

"What did you write about?"

"I have in my bag! I get it!" Sofia jumped out of her mother's arms and ran to her room. She came back carrying a paper journal that the teacher must have given them that was filled with lined paper and spaces to draw pictures.

Sofia handed her momma the journal and smiled proudly. The first page simply said "I played with Addie, Char, Ethan, momma and mommy." in child's handwriting with stick figure drawings of the entire Torres-Robbins family.
