CHP. 8 I own nothing.

Two weeks later…

Kate felt as if she was at home in Seattle. She loved her new CEO job and the people she worked with. She was even more excited about how her relationship with Jackson Avery was going. They had become very close and had been on multiple dates and Kate felt like she never had before about a guy. She was actually happy. She had gotten bored in her office in the hospital and headed for the peds floor. She had had something on her mind for a few days now and finally wanted to do something.

"Arizona! Hey how's it going?" Kate called as Arizona walked out of a patient's room.

"Uh… it's great… why? What did you do?" Arizona asked paranoid of her sister's perky demeanor.

"So I've been apartment hunting today and did you know that there is an apartment in ya'll building for rent?" Kate asked excitedly.

"I uh… no I did not know that. Are you already looking to move out? I mean you just got here." Arizona asked.

"Arizona, come on. I can tell you and Callie are ready to have me out of the apartment and I told you once I got a job and had some sort of cash flow I would move out… find my own place ya know." Kate said with a smile.

"I know but, I like having you around ya know?" Arizona told her sister.

"And I like being around but I can't be around forever. I can't live with you and Callie for the rest of my life ecspecially when I can tell ya'll are about to bust to move one with your lives and start a family." Kate said.

"We won't be starting a family just yet…" Arizona told Kate.

"Yeah ok… you keep telling yourself that." Kate said with a laugh

"What? What does that mean? Has Calliope been telling you things… has she been telling you she's ready for a baby and getting married?" Arizona asked with a nervousness in her tone.

"She hasn't… but YOU have." Kate laughed.

"I haven't said anything to you about it."

"You haven't had to say the words… I see you up in the nursery… looking longingly at those babies. Oh and when we were out shopping you stopped to look at those baby clothes just a little longer than I expected… you haven't had to say the words Arizona. I have been gone for a while but I know when someone wants something… and you want a baby with Callie." Kate told Arizona who had a shocked look on her face.

"I… uh… Ok… so maybe I am ready to move on and start a family… maybe not kids yet but I would like to maybe think about getting married…maybe…" Arizona confessed.

"I knew it… anyways so I was thinking… uh… maybe we could go see mom and dad… I mean they'd like that right? Me… coming to see them… well us, I don't wanna go by myself. I just… it's been a long time and yeah… I think it's time to see them." Kate said nervously.

"Of course we can go see them. They would love to see you and us. I haven't introduced them to Callie so that would be the best time to do that I think." Arizona said.

"Ok well hey… uh… I've gotta run, I have a meeting in ten but I will see you later" Kate said before taking off down the hall towards the elevator. Arizona opened up the chart that was waiting for her at the nurse's station. She didn't realize how exhausted she was. 36 hour shift and still going without an end in sight. She had had a 4 hour break where she and Callie had used the time to sleep in one of the on call rooms. She was hungry and smelly and running on four hours of sleep and she really did not need to be thinking about all the things that her sister had pointed out.

"There is my gorgeous girlfriend!" Callie came up behind her and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hey" was all Callie got in return and she could tell immediately that something was up.

"Alright, spill" Callie said shutting the chart her girlfriend was trying to read.

"What do you mean spill? Nothing is wrong Calliope, I'm just exhausted and hungry and smelly. Oh and Kate is looking at new apartments. And as much as I want our place back to just us… I'm gonna miss her." Arizona said sadly.

"Arizona, you do realize she is looking at the apartment literally on the other side of Mark's right… she'll be right across the hall if you want to see her and she works here." Callie said with a laugh.

"She said in our building… she didn't say the one right down the hall so of course I thought she meant like… I don't know what I thought." Arizona said rubbing her temples.

"Why don't you go take a nap Arizona… or come with me to the Cafeteria and get something to eat. Please?" Callie said with a grin.

"Callie you just got off work, I know the last thing you want to do is come eat with me in the hospital cafeteria."

"Yeah it may be… but the first thing I want to do is be with you and if that is how I can get it then that's how it'll be." Callie said. "What time do you get off anyways?"

"Well… oh my gosh it's that late already? Callie, I've been off for an hour… ugh…" Arizona said staring at her watch.

"Well ok then… you go shower and I'll order some take out from that chinese place you love so much and we'll go home and start a little fire and have the rest of the night to us." Callie said punctuating the sentence by kissing Arizona's nose.

"Hmmm… I'd like that." Arizona said placing her charts aside and taking her girlfriend's hand. The two walked to the locker room together.
