Hey everyone! I really hope you like the final part, it took me a while to get it down into writing and I'm still not completely satisfied with it :/ Also, sorry that it took me so long to get it posted, I have been sick and busy but here it is, enjoy:


Callie softly closed the door behind her as she followed Arizona into the apartment. She watched as her girlfriend hung her jacket up and then wandered further into the living room. "I want you to live with me."

Crap. That was NOT smooth, way to just blurt it out Torres…maybe she didn't hear me?

"Uh…what?" Arizona asked in confusion.

Damn. Okay, here goes nothing.

"That didn't come out as I planned. Sorry," Callie said sheepishly.

"You just asked me to live with you, but that's not what you planned?" Arizona asked trying to understand.

"Well no, I mean yes." Callie paused to collect her thoughts. Walking closer to Arizona, she took a deep breath and looked into her girlfriend's clear blue eyes, "it is what I want, what I have wanted for a long time. I just didn't plan on blurting it out like that."

"Is this because of what Cristina said? Because trust me Calliope, I'm okay with it now. Really, I was just having a bad morning." Arizona walked over to the couch and sat down with her hands between her knees. She looked out the rain stained window and watched the clouds turn gray as they rolled across the sky. Why today?

"Hey," Callie quietly spoke while kneeling on the floor in front of Arizona. "I know what you're thinking—why today? And after the shitty morning you had I can understand your doubt, but baby I love you. You have to know that I love you."

Arizona slowly turned her gaze settling on her pleading girlfriend on the floor. "Of course I know that Calliope."

"Then you have to trust me."

"I do," Arizona whispered. "I just..."

Callie took Arizona's hands in hers and brought them to her chest. "This," she said putting Arizona's hands over her heart, "this is yours. You took my heart a year and a half ago and I've never wanted it back."

Arizona smiled and Callie couldn't help but match it with one of her own before continuing, "I love you Arizona, everything about you. You are beautiful and messy and always forget where you put your reading glasses. You leave a trail of clothes behind you when you take a shower in the morning and you will only use one type of shampoo. You hate margarine but will put more butter on a piece of toast than any human should ever eat."

Callie laughed and leaned forward to kiss the amused smile off of Arizona's face.

"All of those things, Arizona, make me love you and make me want to spend every day with you. I want to know why sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night just to make a cup of tea and watch the rain pour down. I want to know why you hate birthdays, and find out where you learned to play the piano. I want to learn everything about you, I want to share my whole life with you and I want to start now."

Arizona stared longingly at Callie for a few moments before speaking. "Yes." She smiled, "I want that too."

Callie pulled herself off the floor and dragged Arizona into her bedroom. "I want to show you something."

After sitting on the bed Callie reached into the bedside table and pulled out a notebook and a few magazines. "This," she said handing Arizona the notebook, "is something that I've never shown anyone before. My thoughts, feelings, ramblings and dreams fill this notebook. Everything is dated and you should find, oh about, a year and a half ago that a certain blue eyed beauty starts to take over every page. You will also find that about two months ago I start to list different ideas of ways to ask you to move in with me."

Arizona studied the faded green notebook that now sat in her hands, the pages were tattered, folded, stained and ripped but to her it was beautiful. She was about to enter Calliope's mind, her every thought and a direct insight into a Calliope that not even she has seen. This broke all barriers, crumbled all walls and diminished any doubts that Arizona ever held against her Latina lover.

"Thank you," Arizona whispered as she leaned forward to kiss Callie. "Thank you."

"Everything is in there, and you'll read about it if you want to, but for a long time I didn't think I deserved you. I thought that you were this amazing woman who had a lapse in judgment and wanted to date me. I never thought you would love me, but when you told me you did I knew that I should hold on for as long as you let me. I fall more in love with you every day Ari, and I want to wake up next to you every morning in our bed, in our room."

"I love you Calliope. Sometimes I don't realize just how much I do love you, but then you say something, or you look at me from across the room, or you know exactly what I want even before I do. Those are the times when I realize how much we are meant to be together. How much I love you, and how much I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

This time it was Callie who leaned in for the kiss. She smiled against Arizona's lips and mumbled, "Now that is something I can get used to." After a few minutes, Arizona remembered that Callie had pulled something else out with the notebook.

She broke away and picked up the magazines, "What are these for then?"

"Oh, those just have different things I thought we could look at to decorate maybe? I mean nothing too big; just paint colors, coffee tables and art for the walls."

Arizona smiled and sighed in contentment, "Sounds perfect. This is perfect. I was so worried; waiting for something to happen that was going to mess this up. I was afraid of moving too fast, but this feels so right."

"You know, this may come as a shock to you, but just because I want kids doesn't mean I want them tomorrow. I'm going to wait until you're ready sweetheart."

Callie pulled Arizona into her lap and loosely draped her arms around the blonde's waist. In return Arizona slung her arms over Callie's shoulders before looking into dark brown eyes, "Thank you," she said before kissing Callie again, "I know how much this means to you, and I'm working on it, I really am. It might take a year or two but I know we can do this Calliope. I know that with you, I can do anything."

The couple remained intertwined together, taking in the silence and enjoying the moment, sitting on their bed. Yes, it may take a few years, and yes it may be a rough road ahead, but together they can do anything.
