*time jump*
It was late August and Callie and Arizona had been together for almost two months now. There was no real date when they became "official", one day Arizona asked Callie if she was her girlfriend, and Callie said "yes" like it was obvious and that was it, it was perfect. They didn't get to go out on many dates because of their work, but they got to see each other a lot at the hospital and then they would end up at one of their apartments together at night. Everything seemed to be going so smoothly, which was great, but it made Arizona a little nervous.
"She`s watching me sleep…" Arizona said to Teddie, the head of Cardio and her best friend.
"What?" Teddie said, taking a sip of her coffee and leaning against the nurses' station to look over some charts.
"Callie`s watching me sleep, and she only watches me when I sleep when something is up. I can feel her watching me and it is such hard work to keep my eyes closed, but I know if I open them something loaded is going to come out of her beautiful mouth and pop the pretty pink bubble that we`ve been living in"
"You want to pop the bubble."
"I…don't though."
"Trust me…I`ve lived in that bubble… you want to pop it."
"But my bubble is so…pink…and so pretty."
Gathering her charts, and walking towards the elevator Teddie yells back to Arizona, "Pop the bubble!"
Later that afternoon Arizona found herself sitting in the attending's lounge. Sipping on her coffee and trying to relax. It had been a long day for her and she still had three hours left in her shift. She laid her head back on the couch and closed her eyes and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
Callie had been looking for Arizona for the past twenty minutes, but could not find the blonde woman anywhere she looked. She knew she had been acting a little strange the past couple of weeks and she hoped she wasn't making Arizona worry. Callie wanted to talk to Arizona about what she was thinking, but she would get too nervous and change her mind at the last second. She would do it eventually, she hoped anyway. When she got to the attending's lounge she smiled at the exhausted looking blonde, asleep on the couch. Arizona always looked so beautiful and peaceful in her sleep, Callie hated to wake her.
Even before she opened her eyes, Arizona could feel someone watching her, and she smiled when she realized that person was Callie. "Hey" Arizona said, mid yawn. Stretching her arms out, she sat up and made room for Callie on the couch.
"Hey, long day?" Callie asked, pressing a gentle kiss to the blondes' temple.
"Very long, and it's not over yet."
"Almost though, you are done with surgery for the day right?"
"Yeah I just have to round on my patients one more time before I go." Arizona said, snuggling into Callie as much as she could. "But I don't want to move."
Resting her head on top of Arizona's, Callie smiled into the blondes' wavy hair. "So make Karev do it. He`s been lazy today and you need to rest."
"Karev isn't so bad you know? He is actually really good with the kids, although he`ll never admit it, I think he loves Peds." Arizona said, as she got out her pager to let Karev know she was leaving early and he would have to round on her patients. "Okay, that's taken care of. Can we go home now?"
"That's why I came to find you in the first place, I'm ready when you are." Callie said, getting up and pulling Arizona up off the couch. "Oh I almost forgot, there is a party at Meredith's house for Derek. They are celebrating the big chief thing and we are invited, I kind of already told Meredith that we would go but if you`re too tired…."
Callie was rambling again, she did that when she was nervous but why was she nervous right now…Arizona was getting a little worried but she decided to ignore that for now. She really liked their pink bubble. "Its fine Callie, we can go."
"Really? Okay good!" Callie said, grabbing Arizona's hand and leaning in for a short kiss. "We should probably go get ready then."
An hour later Callie and Arizona stood at the door of Meredith Greys house. She was a general surgeon or at least that's what everyone assumed she would choose because her mother was Ellis Grey, inventor of the Grey Method for general surgery. Callie and Arizona didn't know Meredith or Derek Shepard all that well and really only came because Cristina, Teddie and Mark would be there. Before they could knock on the door, it swung open and they were greeted by the very cheery younger Dr. Grey. Lexie, Meredith's half-sister, and someone Mark couldn't keep his eyes off.
"Hi, Dr. Torres, Dr. Robbins, please come in!" Lexie said stepping out of the doorway.
"Lexie, please you don't have to be formal, it's a party." Callie said, taking Arizona's hand and stepping though the door.
"Right. Sorry." Lexie smiled. "Everyone is in the living room, drinks are in the kitchen."
"Thank you" Arizona said, leading Callie to the kitchen. Parties are Arizona's thing, she loved talking to people and not having to think about work for a little while. Handing A glass of red to Callie, and taking a glass of white for herself, Arizona and Callie wandered into the living area to join the rest of the party.
"Oh hey! Arizona!" Someone shouted from across the room. It was a floor nurse that worked in Peads, and Arizona had helped plan a baby shower for the woman a few days ago. The woman came up to the pair, "I just wanted to thank you for…
"Torres!" Mark shouted from the opposite side of the room. Thank god, Callie thought. She did not want to make small talk with people she didn't know.
Callie leaned in and kissed Arizona on the cheek. "I'm going to go over…"
"Torres! Callie!" Mark shouted again.
"Hah. Yeah you probably should before he gets any louder." Arizona said with a smile.
They had been there about an hour and Callie was on her third glass of wine. She and Mark had stood together on one side of the room while Arizona tried to make her way over, but kept getting caught up in conversation.
"You okay?" Mark said, looking over at his clearly nervous and now slightly drunk best friend.
"I`m going to do it"
"You`re drunk"
"Yeah that's why I'm going to do it." Callie said, taking a sip of her wine and looking up at the beautiful blonde that was now walking towards her.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Arizona said.
Mark nudged Callie and she took a small step toward the blonde. "I have something to ask you" Callie said.
"Oh no…" Arizona said, barely loud enough for anyone to hear. This was it. Her bubble was about to be popped.
"I want you to move in with me." Callie finally said. "I love you and you have a drawer and a toothbrush and I want you to have a whole dresser and a whole blow-dryer… or something more romantic than that."
"Push through, you're doing great." Mark said, looking between the two women and deciding they needed some privacy he stepped away.
Arizona hasn't said anything and she was staring back at Callie with confusion in her big blue eyes.
"Unless you`re hating the idea… which would be okay…"Callie said, now worried that Arizona would freak out.
"Calliope, is that all?" Arizona finally asked "you want me to move into a place where I basically already live?"
"Mmmhm" Callie said while taking a drink of her wine.
"Yes, Calliope, yes. I would love to have a drawer and a blow-dryer or something more romantic than that."
"Yay!" Callie said with a huge smile, pulling Arizona in for a kiss.
"Robbins, how do you have so much crap?" Mark said, dropping the last of Arizona`s boxes on the floor in Callies apartment.
"Hey be careful, and it's not that much stuff, you`re just whining…" Arizona teased.
Callie thought she better interrupt now before they started to bicker again, "Hey I've got pizza and beer!"
At that, Mark and Arizona headed for the kitchen. Callie was so glad Arizona had agreed to move in with her, she loved the thought of waking up to those beautiful blue eyes every morning and falling asleep next to the woman she loved every night.
After Mark left it didn't take long for Callie and Arizona to unpack her things, she really didn't have that much stuff, and it was mostly clothes.
"Uh I think we need a bigger closet." Callie said, staring at her now packed closet.
"Oh, sorry." Arizona smiled. She knew she had a lot of clothes but she didn't really think about it until now. "We can put some in storage, I don't really need all of it."
"We`ll figure it out later, I'm exhausted." Callie yawned and flopped down on the bed.
"Me too." Arizona smiled as she crawled into her spot on the bed and leaned over to press her lips against Callies.
They had both hoped they could christen the "new" apartment and Arizona's first official night home, but they were both so exhausted that all they could do was sleep. The next morning, Callie woke up to the sight of Arizona sleeping peacefully next to her. Callies arm wrapped around Arizona's middle, the blondes back pressed to Callie's front. She leaned over and brushed a few strands of wavy blonde hair from Arizona's face and began placing light kisses from her jaw line to her temple.
Feeling the warmth of her girlfriend and the gentle kisses being placed on her, Arizona smiled and turned over pressing her lips to Callies. "Moring." She smiled and laid her head back on the pillow now facing Callie.
"Moring." Callie said. Cupping Arizona's cheek and placing another kiss on her forehead.
Before she even knew what was happening, Arizona had moved from lying next to Callie and was now sitting on top of her, placing gentle kisses along her shoulder and up her neck. Holy crap. "Mmm…Arizona…"
"Shhh…" she whispered, quickly pressing her lips against the brunettes. "We have to christen my new apartment… our apartment." Arizona said, in between kissing Callie on the lips, trailing down her jaw line to her neck and collarbone. This woman made her so hot there was no stopping her now.
"Our apartment. I like the sound of that." Callie said, as she reached for the hem of the blondes' shirt and pulled it off. With one quick move, Callie switched their position and was now looking down at a slightly surprised looking Arizona. Leaning down and leaving a hot trail of kisses from the blondes lace covered breasts all the way up to her lips, Callie whispered into Arizona's ear "You are so beautiful."
Moving her hands from where they had been resting on the brunettes hips, Arizona grabbed Callie`s face and pulled her in for a long deep passionate kiss. When they finally broke apart, both needing some air, Arizona looked up into those big brown eyes she loved so much. She could see the love and the ant and all the emotion Callie was feeling through her eyes, they were so expressive, it's one of the things she adored about the brunette. "You are Amazing, and I love you so much." Arizona finally said after catching her breath.
"We`re amazing" Callie said, smiling into another kiss as Arizona slipped Callie`s shirt off her shoulders and over her head. Neither of them could take much more teasing so the quickly took off their remaining clothes and Callie pressed herself down on Arizona, both woman were already incredibly aroused and in need of release. Arizona re positioned herself so she could reach the brunette better, and pulled her down for a deep kiss at the same time she slid her free hand down the Latina`s soft tan skin and ran one finger through Callie's wet folds.
"Oh…Ariz..." was all Callie could say, as she was still attached to the blondes' lips.
Wanting to feel Arizona's arousal Callie slipped her own hand down the soft porcelain skin of the beautiful woman laying underneath her. With one quick motion she slipped her finger through Arizona's wet folds a few times and then quickly pushed one finger inside.
Arizona's breath hitched, "Callie…Mmm…more."
Smiling, Callie quickly gave in and added a finger, Arizona doing the same to Callie. Slowly they found a rhythm with both of their bodies sliding back and forth with one another. It didn't take long before they were both at the peak. Callie picked up the pack and began sliding her fingers in and out of Arizona's wet center more rapidly than before, while simultaneously pressing down on the blondes' swollen clit. Arizona got Callie's message loud and clear, doing the same to the extremely aroused brunette. Callie leaned in and pressed her lips to Arizona's muffling both of their moans of pleasure as they came together.
After a few moments, Callie rolled of Arizona, both women motionless and breathing deeply, too exhausted to move.
"Wow." Callie finally managed to say.
"Yeah." Arizona agreed.
"Shower?" Callie suggested.
"Yes! But we actually have to shower Calliope. We have work today." Arizona smiled, looking over at the beautiful woman lying next to her.
"Hah, don't worry. After that, I can barely hold myself up." Callie said with a smile.
Two hours later they were both showered, dressed and getting ready for work when there was a knock at the door.
"Ugh. I'll get it." Callie said, setting down the pot of coffee she had made for them. Opening the door, Callie just stood there in shock. "What are you doing here?!" she said angrily.
"I wanted to see you, Callie I made a mistake. I … want you back."
Arizona had heard Callie answer the door but was in the middle of brushing her teeth and hadn't felt the need to see who it was, but now she was interested. Some woman had just come to her apartment, one she shares with her girlfriend, and wants HER girlfriend back. Who the hell was this woman? She walked towards the door, but stopped dead in her tracks when she heard Callie speaking.
"Look Erica, you had your chance..."
"Cal, please just hear me out. I know I`ve been a bitch to you but come on. You can't deny we were great together. And the other day was amazing and you know it!" Hahn said, a little too loud. Callie felt Arizona's presence behind her and turned around. Arizona was just standing there, a shocked look on her face and a hint of hurt in those beautiful blue eyes.
"Arizona…" Callie needed to explain.
"What's this?" Erica said, moving so she could get a better view of Arizona. "Geez Cal, you move on fast."
"Get out!" Callie was pissed. "Erica! Leave now before I make you leave."
Arizona was so shocked and confused, and hurt that Callie hadn't told her about Hahn. She worked with that woman every day, why would Callie keep this from me? "You know what? Maybe you guys should talk… I'm leaving." Arizona said, grabbing her bag and walking toward the door.
"Arizona wait!" Callie shouted and followed her down the hall. "Please just let me explain." Tears were filling the brunette's eyes now and she couldn't make it stop.
"What was so amazing the other day Callie?! If you still wanted Hahn you should have told me... I…"
"No I don't! That was nothing. It was surgery! She just said it that way to make you mad! Arizona..."
"I don't have time for this Callie, I have to go to work." Arizona said, stepping onto the elevator, tears now rolling down her cheeks.
What the hell just happened? Callie thought as she walked back to her apartment to grab her stuff. Hahn was still there. Why won't she go away? Grabbing her stuff and locking the door Callie turned to Erica, "Really? Don't you get it?" Callie asked, still on the verge of tears. "I`m done with you. You treated me like crap and I didn't deserve that. I have Arizona now so leave and don't ever speak to me again, unless it involves work."
"You HAD Arizona." Erica said, laughing as she walked past Callie and down the stairs.
It took all the strength and willpower Callie had not to smack that smug bitch right in the face. She took the elevator down and ran across the street to the hospital, she had to find Arizona. She had to explain before she left Callie for good.
