Chp 3. I own nothing.

2 hours later.

It was really late when the three of them finished talking. They were all exhausted ecpecially Kate who felt that she hadn't slept in a while.

"I think I'm going to get some sleep Ari. I'm really tired." Kate said standing up.

"Oh… ok well make your self at home Kate." Arizona said as Kate started walking towards the guest room.

"Yeah… ok." Kate said without glancing back at the two women. She entered the room and shut the door behind her.

"I can't believe she's here. Calliope I haven't seen her since my brother died… She was 17. She had just graduated from high school. She was just a kid. Now look at her. She's all grown up and made it through college all on her own… she was always a tough kid and she was always the one that something would upset her and she would just shut off. She'd go and hide somewhere in the house or outside." Arizona explained to Callie. "Between her running off never to be heard from and my brother dying... even I needed a new start. That's why I moved here. I took this job here and made a new home away from home, away from the drama."

"I think there is more to her story Arizona. I think she is hiding something, something she isn't ready to tell you yet" Callie noticed.

"Why do you think that?"

"She just… she looked distant. Like she was thinking of different ways to either tell you what she was leaving out or something she couldn't decide if she should tell you or not… I don't know Arizona… Something is up."

"Really? What could it be? I mean maybe she is just tired or nervous or… or… I don't know" Arizona thought out loud.

"Well Arizona, I'm going to go to sleep." Callie said getting up off the couch. She turned around looking at Arizona who was laying on the couch looking back at her. She put out both of her hands to Arizona. "So… Is my gorgeous girlfriend going to come with me?"

"Well how can I resist that?" Arizona said taking her girlfriends hands and getting up off of the couch. She pulled Callie's arms around her waste and chastly kissed her. She unclasped her hands and pulled Callie into the bedroom.

The Next Morning

Arizona woke with a jerk. Someone was knocking on her and Callie's bedroom door. She stepped out of the bed and walked over to the door. She slowly opened it and peeked out.

"I'm sorry Arizona but someone is knocking at the door and I didn't really think I should answer it concidering I don't even live here really" Kate said hurridly and slightly nervous.

"Okay, Okay." Arizona said while pushing paster her younger sister. She opened the door to see her neighbor and girlfriend's best friend standing at the door.

"Hey Arizona, I'm sorry I know it's early but Callie said we could work out th- what the hell, who the hell is that? Arizona, Callie is my best friend and if you are wanting to sleep with other women maybe you should do it at their house or maybe try not to do it when you're girlfriend is-"

"Mark! Stop… seriously! Mark, this is my younger sister, Kate, this is Mark Sloan. He is a plastic surgeon at Seatle Grace-Mercy West. He is also Callie's best friend so please ignore the fact that he is a complete idiot." Arizona said.

"Your sister? Blondie, I never knew you had a sister… she's HOT! Why didn't you tell me… hmmm well come to think of it… she does look exactly like you except brown hair and brown eyes." Mark said circling Kate.

"Ok Mark Ok. Callie is asleep I'll tell her you came by and wanted to work out." Arizona said, grabbing Mark's shoulders and steered him out of the door and shutting the door behind him. She looked at Kate who had a very amused grin on her face. "I'm so sorry Kate, he is-"

"Hot… very very… HOT" Kate stated still smiling at the door.

"NO… no no no. Kate don't even think about it"

"I can think about it… I just won't do it!" Kate laughed and Arizona chimed in.

Callie groggily walked out of their bed room and look at the sight in front of her. She was neither ammused nor happy to be woken this early in the morning.

"Seriously? It's my day off… and it's 7:45 AM, and you two are out here laughing like a bunch of… children" Callie said annoyed that she had been woken from her deep slumber. "I mean Kate come on, I'm dating one Robins child… I don't need another living here" Callie said with a slight smile growing on her face.

Arizona just stared at her. "I can not believe you just said that."

"Oh come on Arizona, I was kidding! You know I was."

"But you said it… and it hurt my feelings." Arizona pouted.

"Oh, put that lip in" Callie said putting her arms around her girlfriend and kissing her bottom lip that was sticking out.

"Ok, ok… it's in" Arizona said with a laugh. "Alright now… The three of us should go out today. Maybe to lunch and then shopping?"

"Ugh… Arizona… you know I hate shopping… Why can't we hang out back here after we eat or I don't know… anything." Callie begged.

"But Calliope, please? It's my turn to pick what we do on our day off." Arizona pleaded. "You picked last time, remember?"

"Ugh… ok… ok you win" Callie laughed out.

"YES!" Arizona celebrated. She kissed Callie on the lips then skipped off to start getting ready leaving Callie and Kate standing in the living room.

"She is ridiculous" Callie laughed.

"She is something… she hasn't changed one bit… not one bit." Kate said sitting down on the couch.

"So she's always been like this?" Callie said beginning to make some coffee.

"Oh yeah… ever since I was little I remember her always being happy no matter what was happening… no matter how many times we were moved all over the country for my dad's job." Kate said. "She has always been happy Arizona and I always envied that because I was always the dark and twisty one. The one who kept to herself and never let anyone in. Now look at me."

"What do you mean?"

Kate realizing she had said almost too much looked nervously around the room. "If I tell you something Callie, you have to keep it to yourself until I find the right time to say something to Arizona"

"Yeah of course. Any secret of yours is yours to tell not mine"

"Uh… I am getting a divorce. I was, well am, married. I got married to this guy a year after I ran away. I was young and stupid… so, so stupid… I fell in love with a guy who decided it was ok to get me and two other girls pregnant, and I guess he thought it was even better to lie to all of us." Kate said nervously.

"You're pregnant?" Callie asked in shock.

"No… not anymore… I found out about all his little affairs and confronted him about it… he made me into a human punching bag. I stayed in the hospital for two weeks for protection reasons and the minute I got out of the hospital I ran away… I got out of Boston as soon as I could. I lost the baby and I couldn't take the running everymore. I needed a fresh start, a new place, and my family… for once." Kate explained. "I never meant to hurt my family like I did when I left… I never meant it."

"They know Kate… I'm sure of it." Callie tried to calm her down. "They know it's what you needed at the time. But you've got to tell Arizona about this… soon… she's your sister."
