I Was Made For You
Chapter 6
"Hey Mark" Callie said as she stepped off the elevator and walked towards the nurses station. "Hey Cal, how was the honeymoon?" "It was amazing. Arizona and I had the best time, both in and out of the bedroom" she said to Mark with a wink. "Alright, go Torres!" Mark exclaimed. "Keep on with your fantasy because it's never going to happen" Callie said to Mark as she walked away to go check on a patient.
The newlyweds were enjoying married life and wanted to have a girl's night out with their friends since they hadn't had one since before the marriage. "Hey Apes, we're having a girls night at Joe's. Come with us?" Arizona said to April. "Sure. I'll be there." Replied April. Callie asked Meredith "Hey Mer, it's a girl's night out. We haven't all hung out together since before I got married, so come out with us tonight." "I'll see you there. Can't wait" replied Meredith. So Arizona, Callie, April, Teddy, Addison, Meredith, and Cristina all met up at Joe's that night for a girls night out.
Callie and Arizona were all over each other at the table and on the dance floor. "Okay you two, either tone it down or get a room" Teddy said to Callie and Arizona. They just rolled their eyes and laughed. The alcohol was flowing, specifically tequila, and everyone, including Callie and Arizona, were drunk by the end of the night. They spent the whole night talking, laughing, drinking, and just enjoying their time with each other.
After Joe called a cab for everyone, Callie and Arizona drunkenly helped each other walk up the stairs of their house, and somehow didn't fall back down the stairs or trip, so they could make it to their bedroom. Clothes and shoes were being shed along the way. "I want a baby" Callie said in her drunken, alcohol induced haze. "What?" replied Arizona, equally as drunk. "I said I want a baby" Callie said. "Let's not think about babies yet. We just got married. Let's enjoy being with each other for at least a year." Arizona said. "A year!?" Callie replied, her voice a little higher. "Yes a year Callie" Arizona said. "I want Mark to be the father" Callie said. "Mark!? Oh no, no, no." Arizona said. "Why not Mark? We both know him, he's my best friend and he would be an amazing father" Callie raised her voice. "Because Callie, I want a child with you, not with Mark!" Arizona said. They were both yelling at full volume at this point.
"I want kids, Arizona, and I want Mark to be the father!" Callie yelled. Her fiery Latina temper was starting to show. "I want kids with you Callie, but don't you think we should wait a little while and I don't want Mark to be involved in our baby making process!" Arizona yelled back. "Why can't you just compromise with me on this?" Callie yelled. "Because Callie, I love you!" Arizona replied. The argument continued as both lovers yelled at each other. Eventually, Callie took her pillow and blanket and slept in the spare bedroom and let Arizona sleep in their bed alone.
The next morning, they both had splitting headaches from drinking the night before. They barely remembered their fight from the night before. "Ugh, I'm never drinking that much again" Callie said as she woke up with the worst hangover by far. "I feel like my head is going to explode" Arizona said as she woke up. Callie wandered back into their bedroom. Both she and Arizona were both hungover and had no plans to leave the house today. Callie went to the kitchen to get the bottle of Tylenol and two bottles of Gatorade. "I'm sorry about last night" Callie said as she sat down on the bed with the medicine and drinks. "Me too" Arizona replied. In their drunken states, they hadn't realized how bad the fight actually was until they woke up the next morning sober, in separate beds, with pounding headaches.
"I love you and I'll wait until you're ready to have kids" Callie said. "I love you too and I think I can bend on this for you" Arizona replied with a kiss on Callie's lips. Arizona would do anything to make Callie happy, even if she had to bend on who the father of her children would be. It was a better option than having an anonymous sperm donor and going through the process of picking him out. "But we're only going to have 2 or 3 kids. We'll start with one first" Arizona said. "That's a compromise I can make" Callie replied. Now they would have to decide who would carry their first child.
"I'm glad we had this talk Callie" Arizona said. "Me too" Callie replied, kissing Arizona on the lips. This wouldn't be the last time they bent for each other or made compromises with each other, but it's a start. They have the rest of their lives together.
A few months passed and Callie invited Mark over so all three of them could talk. Callie began with asking Mark if he would be the father of their children. He agreed. Callie and Arizona also asked him how much involvement he wanted with the children, whether he wanted to contribute and be a part of their lives or just be the cool Uncle Mark. "I am the father, of course I want to be a part of their lives. We can all co-parent together. The kids will have 2 moms and 1 dad. The children will have three parents who love and care for them." Mark said. The trio agreed that even though Callie and Arizona were married, it would be best for the kids to have their father present and in their lives, rather than a stranger that they don't know.
For now, Callie and Arizona decided to postpone having kids for a year. It had been almost a whole year since they got married. They had been busy at the hospital. Callie was the head of ortho surgery and Arizona was head of Peds. They decided that now was not the time to have a child and wanted a little more time being married before they had any children.
