Chapter 2

"Wait. Mom, am I missing something?" Nothing could escape the teenager's observant eye. "She called you Calliope! And what was up with those looks between the two of you?"

"What? What look?" Callie tried hard to hide her obvious flustered self. She fought to put on her best defensive act but she was still star struck over her encounter with the dimpled blonde. All she could think about was how could she run into Arizona in a random city on a random weekend getaway? Why now? Why after all these years? "What is it you seem to think you're missing? And in case you forgot my name is Calliope!"

Sophia could feel that there was more to the story. But it was obvious that her mother did not want to talk about it so she decided not to press her luck too much. "How do you know her anyway?"

Callie paused for a moment, unsure of how to really answer the question. "We…Umm…We used to work together…At Seattle Grace…Before you were born…" Callie was ready to change the subject. QUICK! "C'mon, Mija. We better get going. Do you want to walk to the hospital or take the train?"

Sophia flashed a knowing smile at her mother. "Let's walk. We might be able to see more that way."

"Great idea!"

Callie pulled her daughter into a big hug and the two set off down the streets of Boston in search of the Children's Hospital. The pair only stopped along the way to take picture of the various landmarks along the way.

Finally they arrived at their destination just minutes before 4:30. There Children's Hospital Boston sat, with its large entrance and brightly colored columns inviting them to come inside. A giant holiday wreath perched high above the portico. Staring out at the enormous facility Sophia was immediately captivated. Callie looked on in pride as she saw her daughters eyes grow wide and a big smile crept upon her face. The older woman was unsure how she felt about the situation before her. She was glad that her daughter was about to have such a great opportunity; one that not every sixteen year old would get to experience. But she wasn't quite ready to see Arizona. She didn't know how she could look into those intense blue eyes and not feel hurt…alone...lost. Up until an hour ago she was fine. She was content with the direction of her life. She's the Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at one of the top teaching hospitals in the country. She has a beautiful daughter who is well on her way to being valedictorian of her class. She owned her own house. She had a great group of friends, even a couple with benefits. Why now? Why did Arizona have to come back into her life now? Ready or not this was going to happen whether she liked it or not.

Callie and Sophia met Arizona at the fourth floor nurses' station just as planned. Sophia followed intently as Arizona led them through the corridors of the hospital. They made their way through the cafeteria, emergency room and surgical floor. They even managed to sneak into an OR gallery in time to catch a laparoscopic appendectomy in progress. Sophia was mesmerized by this woman and everything about her. The teenagers eyes anxiously darted back and forth from Dr. Robbins to the operating room down below and the older blonde described in detail each step of the surgery. "This woman is absolutely fantastic" Sophia thought to herself. Even through all of her excitement she could also tell that her mom was really happy to see Dr. Robbins, even though she was trying hard to hide it. She wondered what had happened between to two of them and why she had never heard of this Dr. Arizona Robbins. "Wait. Robbins? With two B's… My middle name is Robbin with two B's… That has to be a coincidence." Sophia wondered to herself.

"Well…That's Children's Hopsital Boston." Arizona announced as the group left the OR gallery. "What do you think?"

"I think it is super great, Dr. Robbins! Thank you so much." Sophia gushed. "What do you think, Mom?"

"It's a really great hospital. I can certainly see why it's the best." Callie replied. "Thank you Arizona for taking time out of your busy day to give Sophia and I a tour."

"Oh, you guys are so welcome. Anything for you Calliope." With that Arizona sighed as she received a 911 page that required her immediate attention. "Guys, I'm sorry but I've just been paged to the ER. I have to go."

Arizona reached out and gave Sophia a big hug. "Sophia, it was a pleasure meeting you. I can tell your mother certainly did an excellent job raising you. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask…you know, like information about what it's like to be a super awesome Peds surgeon." Arizona gave her a quick wink.

"Thank you again, Dr. Robbins! I'll never forget this day. It was super awesome!" Sophia replied excitedly.

"Please…call me Arizona!" She smiled at the teen and then looked over at her mother. She was uncertain of whether to hug Callie or not. She hesitated at first but she couldn't resist. Deep down she knew that she may never have this opportunity again. "Well, Calliope…"She gingerly wrapped her arms around the tall, brunette…inhaling the all too familiar scent of her shampoo. Almond and mint. Feeling her Calliope in her arms again was something that she thought she would never get to experience again. Even after nearly seventeen years her arms still fit perfectly around the brunette's waist. "I thought I would never get to hug you again…" Arizona whispered into her ear. She knew she may have just crossed a line but she couldn't control herself.

The Latina sighed deeply in the warm embrace. For a moment she almost lost herself in her former lover's arms. "Goodbye Arizona" was all that Callie had the courage to muster before she turned to walk away.

….

The flight from Boston was certainly a long one, almost ten hours and over 3400 miles. Sophia slept almost the entire flight. Their time in Boston may have been brief but it unquestionably was an exhausting one. Even Callie was surprised how much her determined sixteen year old could fit into a short 48 hour trip.

By the time they arrived home it was already 12:30 in the morning. As soon her feet crossed the threshold of her house, Sophia immediately said a quick goodnight, gave her mother a kiss on the cheek and ran upstairs to bed. Callie had already unpacked her suitcase and started a load of laundry. Now she sat in her bed wide awake. She kept hearing those piercing words over and over again. "I thought I would never get to hug you again…" When she closed her eyes she it was as if she could still feel Arizona's arms wrapped around her. She sighed heavily and looked over at her illuminated alarm clock. There was only one person that she knew she could call at this time in the morning…

"Hello?" the man answered in a gruff, groggy voice.

"Hey Mark...it's me"

"Cal! You guys are back already? How was Boston?" The man instantly perked up, excited to hear about his daughter and best friend's trip.

"Boston was good. Exhausting… Sophia had me running nonstop. I can't believe how much energy she has."

"That's my girl!" Mark beamed. "She gets that energy from her father."

"Mark…" Callie started with a troubled voice.

"What's wrong, Cal?" After over twenty years of friendship Mark could tell Callie's distressed voice from a mile away.

"I…umm…I ran into Arizona. Well, actually I spilt tea all over her and then she invited to give Sophia and I a tour of the Children's Hospital and then she hugged me." Callie rambled.

"What? No way! You seriously ran into Blondie?" he questioned "How did that go?"

"Oh fine…You know, good for running into the one person that you thought you'd spend forever with and then she broke your heart and left it in a million pieces. And then you think that you are all over her until you run into her at a café in Boston, of all places, and all those feelings come rushing back and you don't know how you ever lived life without her…" Callie broke down at this confession. Tears started streaming down her cheeks.

"That good, huh?" Mark was at a loss for words. He wished he could find the right words to comfort his friend. Or at least be close enough to give her a hug.

"Yeah…That good." Callie continued to sob as tears trailed down her cheeks.
