"So hot tub," Callie asked, walking back up the stairs to their patio after sitting on the beach with Arizona between her legs for what felt like only a few minutes, but was in actual fact, a few hours.
"I'm hungry, so eat, then hot tub?" Arizona suggested, raising an eyebrow.
"Alright, do you want to order like dinner, or just a snack?" Callie asked, releasing Arizona's hand to pick up the room service menu, "Wow, they certainly have a lot of range, you can almost get anything."
"How bout we get dinner, saves us ordering again later. Ooohh, oohh, can we get the chocolate coated strawberries for dessert. Early dinner, then chocolate coated strawberries and champagne in the hot tub," Arizona said, raising her eyebrows suggestively.
"I like the sound of that," Callie said smiling, pulling Arizona in close and leaving a trail of open mouthed kisses from the nape of her neck to her ear, "and I mean really like the sound of that."
"Hey, get those dirty thoughts out of your mind," Arizona said, stepping back from Callie and swatting her with the menu, "Now, what do you want?"
"Whatever, maybe just order a few tapas dishes and we can share, but whatever you like," Callie said turning towards the bedroom with Arizona watching her, "Call me when it gets here," she finished as she untied her bikini top, throwing it behind her for Arizona to see.
"I am not following you," Arizona yelled in Callie's direction before lowering her voice so only she could hear it in an attempt to focus on the task at hand, "nope, not at all, no following, food, I need food." Knowing Arizona will follow eventually, and Callie in all honesty was hoping it was after she ordered food because she too was hungry, Callie headed for the hot tub. Leaving her swimmer bottoms on Callie stepped in, turned on the bubbles and waiting patiently, enjoying the feel of the hot water over her body. Sure enough it only took a few minutes for Arizona to come through the door of the bedroom.
"I thought you'd never come," Callie said with a huge smirk.
"I thought it was food, then hot tub, and I am not coming for you, I just came to tell you that the food will be here in 15 minutes," it took all of Arizona's will power to turn on her heals and head for the door, her arousal from seeing a topless Callie sitting in the hot tub evident in the liquid pooling between her thighs. All that was running through her head was 'Don't give in, don't give in, two can play this teasing game'. "I'm just gonna jump in the shower and rinse off a bit before the food comes," Arizona said.
"Feeling a little dirty, are we?" Callie asked, her voice seductively low.
"No, just had a long flight and I wanna see what the shower is like, if you hear the food will you get it please," Arizona said, closing the door as to stop the wrath of sexy words dripping from Callie's mouth. As the lock of the door in the bathroom clicked, Arizona slid down the back of the door, her clit throbbing and her lust at an all time high, 'How' she thought, 'does this woman get her so turned on with just looking at her and talking to her? Why is Callie doing the unsexiest things the biggest turn on for me?' Getting up off the floor Arizona came up with a plan, it was now time to flip this onto Callie, 'two can play this game Calliope Torres, two can play' Arizona thought to herself, tonight Callie was going to beg. Turning on the shower, Arizona made sure to stay under the water until the knock at the door came. Knowing Callie would answer the door she slowly dried herself off until there was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Yeah," Arizona yelled through the thick wood.
"Dinner has arrived, eat on the patio?" Callie called back.
"Yeah I will be out in a sec," Arizona called, pulling the silk robe in the bathroom over her naked body before exiting the bathroom and heading toward the patio. "Smells great," Arizona said, sitting down on the chair next to Callie, being sure to drag the silk of the robe up to reveal as much of her crossed leg as possible, satisfied when she saw Callie's eyes go wide at the realisation that there was indeed only a silk robe covering Arizona's body. Arizona immediately dug into the food, trying her hardest to ignore Callie who was now unabashedly ogling her legs, mouth gaping open.
"Are you not hungry?" Arizona asked, drawing Callie out of her trance.
"Oh I am hungry," Callie replied, before dropping her voice to a whisper, "but not for food anymore," she finished before she filled her plate with some food, watching Arizona closely. Arizona thought to herself, 'Callie: 0, Arizona: 1' as she continued to dig into her food, realising she hadn't eaten since the plane.
"Wow, this is some really nice food," Arizona pointed out, seductively pulling the fork from her mouth excruciatingly slowly, closing her eyes and moaning at the taste. She was sure she was overdoing it, but she was going to win this little seductive game they had going on.
"How," Callie started abruptly, "do you expect me to eat with you doing that?"
"Doing what?" Arizona questioned, feigning innocence.
"You know what I am talking about, first the silk robe, now the seductive eating, what's next, nakedness in the hot tub?"
"Well..." Arizona replied tilting her head as she considered the idea, "I was more thinking I would wear a bikini, but I suppose I could do naked," she continued, now looking Callie straight in the eye, lowering her voice to the sexiest of octaves, "with champagne, and those strawberries."
"That's it, get up," Callie said grabbing Arizona's hand and pulling her out of her seat, "We're going."
"But I haven't finished eating, and I am hungry," Arizona complained pouting.
"This is your punishment; you don't get to dress like that and then eat like that and expect me to get through an entire meal with you. Hot tub. Now," Callie said, dragging Arizona behind her in the direction of the bedroom. All Arizona could do was smile broadly at her effort, 'Definitely won this round' she thought to herself as she pulled up short of the hot tub, allowing Callie to get in before she turned on her heals.
"You forgot the champagne and strawberries," she explained as she went back to retrieve them. Once she was out of Callie's vision she thought she would tease her a little more, dropping the robe she was wearing to the floor before picking up the plate of strawberries, two glasses and the champagne bottle before returning to the master bedroom to head out to the hot tub. When got to the door that lead to the patio, she stopped and lean on the doorway seductively as Callie turned from looking at the beach to her very naked wife.
"Oh my god, you're so fucking hot," Callie said, her eyes trained on Arizona's body and her mouth gaping open.
"Well," Arizona replied, putting the plate and glasses down on the bench behind the hot tub before she strode up the stairs and sauntered over to Callie who was sitting in the far corner of the tub, "I do try," she finished before climbing onto Callie's lap and kissing her slowly. All Callie could do was moan into Arizona's mouth as Arizona's hands started to explore Callie's body, starting at her hair, travelling down Callie's neck and shoulder until she reached her left breast, spending more time there, caressing and pinching at her nipple until it was erect before moving down to her stomach and then down further to rub slow circles over her hip.
"Please Arizona," Callie begged.
"In a minute," Arizona replied, before pushing Callie's hands off of her body and behind Callie's back, "Now these have to stay back here, ok?" Arizona whispered into Callie's ear.
"Mhmm," was the only reply Callie could muster, her eyes closed and her head rolling around on her neck. Arizona begun to kiss from Callie's ear, down her neck, concentrating on her pulse point for an extra moment, before moving down to her shoulder and then along her clavicle, moving slowly down to her right nipple, where she kissed, licked and bit for a few moments, making sure it was completely stimulated before she kissed a trail back up to Callie's lips. Arizona pulled back just enough to reach the strawberries, pulling the plate closer before grabbing one for herself. By now Callie had opened her eyes, pouting at the loss of contact, but was met with the sight of Arizona seductively biting in to a strawberry. For the third time tonight Callie's mouth fell to the floor, shocked at just how sexy the woman sitting on top of her actually was. Before Callie new it Arizona was grabbing another strawberry and directing it in to her mouth, and once Callie took it Arizona kissed her hard, enjoying the taste of strawberry, chocolate and Callie all mixed into on. Arizona continued this pattern of eating a strawberry then feeding Callie a strawberry, until she couldn't wait anymore and she had to reconnect their lips. Arizona dove forward, kissing Callie hard, sliding her tongue of Callie's and sucking on her lower lip while she simultaneously dropped the hand that was on Callie's hips down toward her centre. Callie moaned as Arizona took her lips in her own, sliding her fingers through Callie's wet folds, stroking her folds and teasing her opening but not once entering completely.
"Arizona," Callie moaned, as she bought one hand forward to pull Arizona in to kiss her harder, but Arizona pulled back completely.
"If you do that again I am going to start from the top again," Arizona instructed, sliding her hand back up Callie's stomach.
"No, no, I won't, I promise," Callie promised between breaths. Arizona dropped her hand to Callie's centre, continuing the ministrations she begun moments before, eliciting a groan from Callie once again. After teasing her entrance once again Arizona entered Callie slowly, fully intending to make this some slow love making, rather than a rough and fast session. Slowly Arizona pulled her fingers back out before entering her slowly again, curling her fingers to brush the tips of her fingers over Callie's most sensitive spot, eliciting a groan from Callie every time.
"I love you," Arizona whispered into Callie's ear as she bought her thumb up to rub over Callie's clit, feeling Callie's walls tighten at the sensation indicated to Arizona that her lover was close. "I love you," Arizona repeated, being careful to emphasize each word, enjoying the sight of her Calliope, head thrown back onto the hot tub, eyes closed, brow furrowed and mouth agape, writhing in pleasure below her. Feeling Callie's body stiffen underneath her, Arizona repeated her words once more before Callie begun shaking and wriggling as she was thrown into oblivion, heat spreading from her centre over her entire body, toes curling, eyes slammed shut and breath heavily laboured. Callie couldn't move, it was as if her body was disconnected from her head, all she could was half-lay, half-sit in the hot tub until her mind returned to reality after one of the biggest orgasms of her life. Arizona continued her ministrations, all be it much slower and softer and just as Callie felt herself return to reality she was shaken by a second orgasm ripping through insides, throwing her right back into the oblivion she was struggling to come out of. After the second time, Arizona removed her fingers, giving Callie the much needed time to return to reality that she needed. A few minutes later Callie opened her eyes to reveal Arizona looking up at her, her head resting on her hand which was resting on Callie's chest.
"Welcome back, you were out there for a little bit," Arizona explained to Callie.
"Well that's your fault, if you weren't so fricken good," Callie retorted with a mega-watt smile gracing her lips.
"Are you saying you would prefer having mediocre sex rather than mind-blowing sex?" Arizona asked, feigning hurt at Callie's comments.
"Hell no," Callie replied, pulling Arizona in for a kiss. Pulling back Callie continued, "But now it is my turn to show you what mind-blowing is." Flipping Arizona so her back was against the edge of the hot tub Callie leant over to turn the bubbles back on before leaning down and kissing the underside of Arizona's breast. Callie dipped her hand down to Arizona's sex straight away, knowing that she didn't need to be teased at all, and was plenty worked up from what she was doing to Callie. Callie teased her folds for a few moments and circled her entrance, before she whispered in her ear, "I am going to try something, but if you don't like it tell me and I'll stop, ok?" Callie told Arizona, only moving to carry out her plan after Arizona nodded. Callie repositioned Arizona so she was sitting over one of the hot-tubs jets, Arizona moaned instantly at the feeling of the water being pushed into her centre, throwing her head back and slamming her eyes closed. "Is this ok?" Callie asked, needing to be reassured that Arizona was comfortable.
"Mhmm," Arizona replied, nodding her head but keeping her eyes closed. That was all Callie needed, so she started kissing Arizona's neck and pulse point as she pushed two fingers inside of Arizona starting a steady rhythm of pulling out and pushing back in, going at the slow rate that Arizona had insisted on when she was doing it to Callie. Feeling Arizona thrust her hips up to meet Callie's fingers, Callie felt that it was time to add her thumb, pushing it up to rub slow circles over her clit. As soon as her thumb came into contact with her clit Arizona cried out her name. She was getting close, her clit was throbbing, pleasure was coursing through her body and her walls were tightening making it harder for Callie to keep up her movements. Callie decided to copy what Arizona had done to her, leaning in to her ear.
"I love you," Callie repeated over and over again, knowing that what they were doing wasn't sex, no it was definitely making love, and the sweetest kind at that. It wasn't long before Arizona begun to squirm, her walls so tight that Callie could no longer move her fingers, and then Arizona relaxed completely, crying Callie's full name as her body flopped and she was overcome by euphoria, unable to move or speak just as Callie had been only minutes before.
"Best orgasm ever," Arizona said between breaths a few minutes later, a huge smile gracing her lips.
"Mhmm," Callie agreed as she snuggled into Arizona's shoulder, enjoying the feeling of her naked wife next to her combined with the hot water bubbling around her.
"I'm exhausted, you have exhausted me," Arizona admitted, making Callie smile broadly and look up at Arizona who still hadn't opened her eyes.
"Would you like me to take you to bed?" Callie asked.
"Mhmm," Arizona replied, slowly opening her eyes and sitting up properly.
"Okay my love, let's go to bed" Callie replied as she exited the hot-tub, throwing her hand out to help Arizona exit the hot-tub as well, before throwing a towel in her direction. Arizona dried off before heading straight to bed, not even going via her suitcase for pyjamas. "Do you want some pyjamas?" Callie questioned.
"Didn't pack any," Arizona replied nonchalantly.
"What do you mean you didn't pack any, you wore some when we were in San Diego," Callie replied a little shocked at her wife's admission.
"Ah no, in San Diego I wore a shirt and panties, and this is my honeymoon, I am not wearing anything to bed for that exact reason, I have a hot wife and two weeks with her for our honeymoon, remember, a holiday that is 98% dedicated to sex," Arizona explained as she climbed under the sheets.
"Oh ok, and so you expect me to try and chastise myself when I am in bed with you?" Callie questioned, "I mean have you seen yourself, cause you're hot, and I mean I am fine with you sleeping naked, I mean we have done it before but that is usually after sex, when I am sated and in an orgasm induced coma, so I'm just saying you can't judge me for what my hands do if you just wanna sleep, that's all," Callie explained.
"I said it is our honeymoon, no chastising here, none what so ever," Arizona replied, making sure to emphasise the last part.
"Ok," Callie smiled as she too headed for the bed, "no chastising."
That night was filled with more love-making, despite both their obvious fatigue, and they finally fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning, both completely sated and knocked out. Arizona instinctively woke a few hours later, shocked that she hadn't yet been awoken by Sofia and automatically reached for the baby monitor, panicking when she couldn't find it.
"Oh my god, where is it," she wined, before the sleep was completely ridden from her brain and realisation dawned upon her, 'We are on our honeymoon, Sofia is with my parents, SHE. IS. FINE' she thought to herself as she laid back down, but her movements had caused Callie to stir.
"You okay babe?" Callie asked, clearly still half asleep.
"Yeah just panicked for a sec about Sofia, but it's ok, I realise now, just go back to sleep," Arizona reassured as she pulled Callie's back into her front, wrapping her arms protectively around her, smiling to herself when Callie sighed into the contact and snuggled backwards as far as she could. Arizona couldn't help but be taken back to the time when she nearly lost Callie to Africa and how Africa actually turned out to be the best thing ever for them.
2 years ago
"She doesn't want to go?" Teddy asked, shock riddling her tone, "What do you mean she doesn't want to go."
"I don't know, I can just tell that she doesn't want to go," Arizona explained.
"So she hasn't actually said that, you are just guessing, assuming," Teddy said in disbelief, "Have you actually confronted her."
"No, but she has been this fake happy and passive-aggressive and I just know that she doesn't want to go. I mean I can't drag her with me but I know that she won't even considering staying if I go," Arizona continued to explain, "And it's three years, I mean I definitely can't expect her to wait."
"Well are there any other options, I mean can you accept the grant and stay here?" Teddy asked causing Arizona face to change from one of hopelessness to one of thoughtfulness.
"I'm not sure, I haven't looked into it, I mean I just assumed that I would have to move to Africa if I accepted the grant. I have some research to do, gotta run," Arizona yelled as she turned to run to her office.
"And talk to her," Teddy yelled after Arizona's retreating frame.
"You mean I can run the clinic from Seattle as long as I find a lead Doctor to run the operations in Africa?" Arizona asked into the phone receiver, hope filling her voice.
"Yes, but you must find this doctor yourself and if you can't find someone before the date you leave you will have to go and be there until someone can replace you, and you will also have to make a trip there yourself every couple of months to ensure everything is up to speed," the man on the end of the line explained.
"Oh my god, thank you so much, you are a life saver, thank you, thank you, thank you," Arizona said into the phone, a huge smile gracing her lips.
"Give me a call as soon as you find someone so we can organize everything, thanks Arizona," the man said before disconnecting the line. Arizona was elated to say the least, she got her dream of saving lives in Africa and to better the paediatric care available in third world countries, all from Seattle meaning she didn't have to drag an unwilling Callie along with her, it was perfect, now all she needed was a replacement and the perfect way to tell Callie, and she had an idea in mind to fulfil both.
It was perfect, she had already set the table, the food was almost done and Callie was due through the door at any minute. As she turned to pull the fish out of the oven, Arizona heard the fumbling of keys outside the apartment's door.
"It's open," she yelled, as the door was tossed open Callie entered the apartment, dropping her bag and jacket next to the door before removing her shows and heading toward the good smell.
"What's all this?" she asked when she saw Arizona serving out dinner on two plates and the dining table donned with candles.
"Just some dinner I threw together, it shouldn't be a minute if you want to pour some wine," Arizona said, trying not to make it a big deal.
"Just dinner?" Callie questioned, and when Arizona simply nodded, she said, "ok," before grabbing a glass and filling it with red wine. Once they were both seated at the table, a steaming plate of food in front of each other, Callie tried again, "So what's the occasion?"
"Um, well I was gonna wait til after but I suppose I can tell you now," Arizona started, not sure how to break the news, "We're not going to Africa." Callie waited for a further explanation but upon not receiving anything she decided to speak.
"What do you mean we're not going to Africa?"
"Well I kinda realised that you don't really want to go," Arizona explained before Callie tried to cut her off, "Please just let me explain and then the floor is yours," Arizona waited for Callie to nod before she continued. "Africa was my dream, and I know, I know deep down it is not yours and I am so grateful that you were willing to follow me to Africa even when that's not what you wanted but I can't do that. I can't drag you across the world against your will because you'll hate me for it, you will reject me for it and it will end us, Africa will be the end of us," Arizona explained, pausing to see whether Callie was keeping up.
"What are you saying?" Callie questioned, hurt in her eyes.
"I made some phone calls and I figured that I can find another surgeon to go over there and look after the day-to-day stuff while I manage the whole project from here. It means I will still work at the hospital but fewer hours so I can set up here and run the program. I was thinking of maybe setting up the spare room as a study, if you don't mind. And I will have to go over every couple of months to check up on everything and see that it is going to plan, but that is it."
"But it's your dream, you can't just give up on your dream, not for me" Callie said, confused with the situation.
"It was my dream," Arizona explained, sure to emphasize the past tense, "but my dreams have changed, I mean I applied 2 years ago, and if I had of known I was going to meet you I would never have done it. And this way I can still help with it all and stay with you, that is my dream, you and a family and I want that more than 3 years in Africa," Arizona explained, finally looking up to meet Callie's gaze at the end, nervous for her reaction.
"Oh Ari, have I ever told you that you are amazing," Callie said, rising from her seat so she could pull Arizona into a tight hug.
"Maybe once or twice, but definitely not today," Arizona said smiling into Callie's shoulder. Callie pulled back from the hug, punctuating her words with kisses.
"You. Are. Amazing. I can't believe you did this for us, thank you so much baby, just... Thank you," Callie said, her eyes now brimming with tears.
"For you," Arizona replied, "I would do anything."
"Anything?" Callie questioned.
"Anything," Arizona confirmed.
"Will you sit and enjoy this awesome looking dinner with me?" Callie asked cheekily.
"Are you kidding, I am starving and I want to reap the rewards of my great cooking," Arizona said, laughing at the end before sitting down to dig into her dinner.
"Oh Arizona, this is amazing, so yummy," Callie said in between mouthfuls.
"Thank you," Arizona replied, relieved that her evening had gone so well and that she truly go to live her dream out, in what she thought was the best way possible.
It only took Arizona a few weeks to find a doctor to fill her place in Africa, it was an old friend of hers from John Hopkins and it was all coming together. Her and Callie would travel to Africa for 2 weeks together and get the program under way, and then when they returned to Seattle Arizona would run the program from there. It was pure brilliance, absolutely the way she had wanted things, and even Callie's attitude head changed; gone was the passive-aggressive mood and the fake happy, and back was the old Callie. It was a week before they were due to fly out, Callie had finished work at 5 and headed back to their apartment, Arizona followed when she finished at 6. Dinner was almost ready when Callie heard the jingling of keys outside the door and she smiled to herself at the return of her girlfriend. She heard Arizona enter, drop her keys and head for the kitchen.
"I want us to go see Addison," Arizona blurted when she saw Callie standing at the stove mixing something in a pot.
"Like as a holiday? I don't think we will have the leave cause we are going to Africa next week," Callie replied, confusion riddling her tone.
"No I want us to book an appointment with her and the fertility specialist she works with, Naomi I think, and I want to talk options, we could maybe take an extra couple of days off after Africa and fly directly there and then come home," Arizona explained, rushing through the words so she wouldn't back out.
"Options? Options for what?" Callie asked, really confused at this point.
"Baby options," Arizona replied, looking down at her hands like she did when she was nervous.
"Baby options?" Callie questioned, still confused at what was happening and surprised at her girlfriend's sudden outburst.
"Yeah, like for us," Arizona replied, cautiously.
"Baby options, for us," Callie replied, unsure of what had come over her girlfriend, "As in you want to go to LA, and book an appointment to talk about how we can start a family?" Callie questioned waving her hands between the two of them.
"Yeah," Arizona replied, before nervously rambling, "I know we have only just figured things out and with the Africa and you not wanting to go, and the rearrangement, it means I will only have to go every couple of months and it will only be for a couple of days at a time cause Doctor Scott has got it all under control and really I mean what better time, and I know you want them, and I kind of thought I might lose you over Africa and I don't want to lose you, ever, and I don't know I just really feel like it's time, and I know originally I was against the whole kid thing, but all I can think of lately is mini- brown eyed, black haired Calliope's running around. But we can wait, I mean if you're not ready, I am also happy to wait, put it on the back burner for a bit."
Callie sauntered her way from the stove to where Arizona was rambling, Callie found it absolutely adorable, "Baby, you know you're rambling?"
"Yeah, I kinda do that when I am nervous," Arizona explained, looking guilty.
"You really want start a family? With me?" Callie asked, slightly in shock.
"Yeah," Arizona replied finally looking up from her hands to meet Callie's gaze, "Yeah I really do."
Callie's only response was to pull Arizona in for a massive bear hug as the tears of joy started to slowly trickle down her face, "I can't say I expected this tonight," Callie whispered into Arizona's ear, "I love you so much."
"Yeah, I love you too, and I can't say I thought I was going to do this this morning either, it just kind of came out, but I really want a family with you, and I don't know if I will ever want to carry a tiny human, but I really want to see you as a mother cause you'll be awesome," Arizona said as tears of joy and relief also begun to trickle down her face.
"I understand that, but they will still be our kids, always, no matter what egg they come from, they will be ours," Callie explained, pulling back to look into Arizona's eyes, "Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, shoot?"
"Is it too much if I call Addy tonight and ask for an appointment?" Callie asked, Arizona simply laughing at the question.
"Not. At. All," Arizona replied, emphasizing each word with a kiss.
"Ok, well dinner is ready, do you want to serve it, I have a phone call to make?" Callie said, a smile plastered on her face. Arizona just laughed again as she nodded her head in agreement, retreating to the stove as Callie picked up her phone and dialled the all too familiar number of Addison Montgomery. Callie headed to the couch, taking a seat as the phone rang.
"Callie Torres, and here I was thinking you were dead or something, I haven't spoken to you in months," Addison said on the other end of the line.
"Addie, how are you?" Callie replied.
"I am great, and you?" Addison replied, clearly happy to hear from her friend.
"Fantastic. Super. Awesome in fact."
"You know you would never have used any of those words before you met a certain blonde," Addison said, her smirk evident in her voice.
"Yeah well she has all sorts of magical powers of me," Callie replied, throwing a glance at Arizona, smiling when their eyes met.
"So how is Arizona?" Addison asked, honestly intrigued.
"She is great, we're both great, actually I kinda rang to ask you a favour," Callie said, deciding to direct the phone call back its purpose in order to keep it brief because as much as she wanted to catch up with Addie, she really wanted to spend this moment with her girlfriend.
"Yeah, what can I do for you?"
"We were wondering if you and Naomi could possible fit us in for a consult in about three weeks. We are heading to Africa next week for two weeks to set up the Carter Madison grant and we were going to drop into LA on the way back if you can fit us in," Callie explained.
"Does this mean what I think it means?" Addison asked, almost giddy.
"Depends what you think it means," Callie replied, fully knowing what she meant.
"Ohmygod Callie," Addison gushed, "you two are finally starting a family, I am so happy for you, when did you make this decision? Who's gonna carry the baby? Random donor or someone you know? Ohmygod."
"Wow, lotsa questions in there, um... We decided tonight, I will carry the first one, and not sure yet, we haven't discussed anything about a donor," Callie replied, looking to Arizona with an apologetic look.
"I am so happy, and we will definitely fit you in, you can stay with me and we'll organize something, don't even worry about it, just book the flight, I am so excited I am going to get to see you and finally meet Arizona properly."
"Yeah me too, well I gotta go, dinner is kinda waiting for me," Callie explained, "I will text you the dates, and talk to you next week sometime."
"Yeah definitely, bye Callie, send my love and congratulations to Arizona," Addison said.
"Yeah I will, bye Addie," Callie replied before disconnecting the call. Callie jumped off the couch and headed over to Arizona, "Well she said she would sort everything out, just to book the flight and we can even stay with her which will be nice to catch up," Callie explained to Arizona, kissing her softly on the lips before sitting opposite her at the dining table. "You know today has been transformed from ordinary to extraordinary in the best way possible, thank you Arizona."
"My pleasure, now shall we eat, cause I really wanna celebrate, if you know what I mean," Arizona said, raising her eyebrows suggestively.
"Most definitely," was Callie's reply before she dug into the pasta dish she had prepared.
Present
Arizona was bought out her half-memory, half-dream by Callie placing her lips on hers in what she thought was the best wake-up call ever. Arizona moaned into the kiss, letting Callie know that she liked it. Once Callie pulled back Arizona pulled her into her so she could gaze into her eyes.
"Good morning," Arizona said, willing the sleep to leave her mind.
"Good morning baby," Callie replied, a wide grin on her face.
"Can I ask you something?" Arizona asked nervously.
"Of course, you can ask me anything," Callie replied, smiling down at Arizona reassuringly.
"When we get back to Seattle, do you reckon we could maybe go house hunting? You know, just for something a bit bigger, more family like, cause we have our little family now and I really want the white picket with a dog and chickens," Arizona explained. Callie just smiled down at Arizona before kissing her before she responded.
"I would love to do that, but can I ask you a question?"
"Anything," Arizona replied, a huge smile gracing her lips at the thought of Callie, herself and Sofia in a family home, with space and playing in the yard together.
"What made you ask this morning? I mean it's not like we have a yard with the apartment, but it is plenty of room for all of us," Callie asked.
"Well two reasons really, I mean I would really love to own a house with you, have a place that we both can legitimately call home," Arizona replied, pausing and before giving her second reason.
"And?" Callie questioned, curious to hear the second reason.
"Well... I was kinda thinking that... you know... maybe we could look for places with a few spare rooms," Arizona explained, not really revealing her true reason, but Callie cottoned on anyway but was not about to give this one to Arizona so she played the innocent.
"Why would we need extra rooms, there is only three of us, and I mean one for guests would be plenty," Callie said feigning innocence.
"Well yeah that's true, but I was more thinking for, you know, like when we have some more kids?" Arizona said, raising her voice at the end as to pose it as a question.
"More kids?" Callie questioned, but not a hint of surprise in her voice, rather it was as if she was contemplating the idea.
"Yeah I was kind of thinking this morning, and I mean we have only been one night without Sofia but this morning I woke up in a panic because I thought she hadn't stirred and she isn't even here, and I miss her like crazy already, you know, not to say that I am not loving alone time with you and all the perks that comes with," Arizona replied, raising her eyebrows suggestively at the end bit, "I was just thinking that we have a clone of you, and you said you wanted a little blonde haired, blue eyed, dimply kid running around, so I just thought why not start trying when we get back." Arizona's nerves were clear as she diverted her eyes from Callie, suddenly finding the hem of her shirt extremely interesting.
"Are you saying that you want to add to our family when we get back in a couple of months?" Callie questioned, needing confirmation, "And that you want to carry this new addition?"
"Well I am not so sure about being pregnant, but yeah, I think we are ready for another screaming baby, don't you?" Arizona replied, still looking down. Callie lifted Arizona's chin to make their eyes meet.
"I would love to have another baby with you, and whether you are pregnant or I carry one of your eggs it doesn't matter to me," Callie confirmed, quietening the butterflies in Arizona's stomach, "I love you so much," Callie finished before pulling Arizona in for a kiss.
Arizona pulled away after a few moments, "I love you too, so much," was all Arizona said before she returned to kissing Callie, rolling them over so she was straddling Callie.
