Chap 20. I own nothing.

The Next Morning

It was early when Kate felt Avery get out of bed. She knew he had work but it didn't seem like it was already time for him to go.

"Work?" Kate asked tiredly.

"Yeah Baby… trust me I'd rather stay here with you for the rest of the day but it's my long two day shift. I can't miss it." Jackson explained.

"I know… that's why I didn't ask. Daniel and I could come eat lunch with you?"

"Yeah! I'd love that. I can text you and let you know when I'm about to be off for lunch… it'll be about 1 more than likely." Jackson said. "Ok I've gotta get out of here… Bailey will kick my ass!" He leaned over and kissed Kate. "Love you!" and he was gone.

Kate rolled over onto her back wide awake now. She stared at the ceiling of her bedroom just waiting to hear Daniel's cry explode over the baby monitor. She thought about how much her life had changed in the past few months… she came to Seattle looking to start over fresh and new, she came looking for part of her family and ended up not only with her whole family but some new family memebers that she was so in love with. She loved her job, she loved where she worked and the people she worked with. She had made friends with April and Lexie, but when Daniel came she had taken maternity leave and hadn't talked to them which made her sad. She wanted to reconnect with them.

Just as if her mind was being read her phone rang signalling she had a text. She looked at who it was from seeing Lexie's name come up. She opened the text and read it.

"Avery said you were back from Cali… you, me and April should do dinner tonignt after we get off."

Kate was excited about the invite but she remembered Jackson wouldn't be here to take care of Daniel and she hated asking Callie and her sister to watch him. She knew they wanted their time to themselves.

"I would love to but I have Daniel and no one to watch him. Is it ok if I bring him?"

She knew the answer before she asked but she thought she would make sure they knew that he would have to come. Kate was less than worried, Daniel was an extremely good baby. All of her thinking about him made her get up to check on him. She walked down the hall to his room and slowly opened the door. She walked over to his crib and looked down at her sleeping son. She slowly backed awy from his crib out the door shutting it quietly. If he wasn't awake yet she wasn't going to wake him. She heard her phone ring again. She picked it up and opened it.

"Well of course! He's the whole reason we want to see you! LOL."

"Gee, thanks Lex. Ok what time are you two off?"

Kate put her phone down again on the Island again. She walked over to put some coffee on. She looked around her apartment at the mess she had left in the living room. She was pulled from her thoughts when her sister came in.

"Hey little sis!"

"Uh… hi? Arizona what are you doing here at… 6:45 in the morning?"

"Well I couldn't sleep…"

"Glad I wasn't sleeping."

"Well, I didn't think of that… but you're awake so all is well."

"What is with you this morning?"

"Nothing… what did I do?"

"You are in a good mood like beyone a good mood before 7… something is up."

"I want to have kids… well not me but Callie have one and me uh… not like physically have one, but her phyiscally have one."

"Is that why you couldn't sleep? You were thinking about having a baby with Callie?" Kate was shocked. She could not believe the words coming out of her sister's mouth.

"Yeah pretty much… I've been thinking a lot. I'm 33 turning 34 in… a monthish. Calliope is 35." Arizona said sitting down at the island. "Callie thinks that we are young-"

"You guys are young."

"Well thanks but, we are getting olderish and we have lived an amazing life thus far and I know that no matter what Callie says she wants them now. Well she wants to start now. And she is leaving it up to me to say when and I'm going to say when now." Arizona had a huge smile on her face.

"Wow… you had a quick turn around." Kate said laughing. "So when are you going to tell Aunt Callie that you want her to become Mommy Dearest?"

"Maybe today or tomorrow. I want to make sure that this is exactly what I want." Arizona told her sister.

Almost simaltaneously some one knocked on the door and Daniel began screaming from his bed.

"I'll get Daniel if you wanna get the door." Arizona said getting off the bar stool and walked to Daniel's room.

Kate walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole to see a still half asleep Callie. She opened the door.

"Is my fiance here?" Callie asked walking into the apartment.

"She sure is. She's getting Daniel right now. You ok?"

"Yeah I just have a headache and it's early and I need coffee…" Callie said sitting down at the island.

"I can help the latter…" Kate said pouring Callie a cup of coffee and handing it to her.

"So why is my fiance here? Is she ok?" Callie asked taking sip of coffee.

"She is fine, she said she couldn't sleep or something." Kate said. "Arizona?"

"Yeah I'm coming" Arizona walked out of Daniel's room holding him. "He had a dirty diaper."

"You changed his diaper?" Kate asked amazed.

"Uh yeah… what is so bad about that? It was dirty and I changed it… and I mean I've got to learn somewhere right?"

"Yeah you are right." Kate laughed.

"So my fiance is alive." Arizona said leaning into Callie and kissing her.

"Barely… You realize how early it is right? Why couldn't you sleep?" Callie asked wrapping one arm around Arizona and using the other to gently rub Daniel's head.

"I was thinking..."

"About?"

"I'm gonna go uh… I have no idea…" Kate said looking at the two women nervously.

"I want to have a baby… well I don't but I want you to I mean I want us to have a baby, together. I want to start a family Calliope. And I know that I said I wanted to wait but I've thought and thought and really looked at our lives and what I want from you and us and where I want us to be and ever since Kate brought Daniel into our lives I've watched you with that baby and I know you've watched me with him and it is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and I want to see you with our own baby everyday. And I know that we are in a new place and just got back to us and we just moved in together and just got engaged but I feel like this is what I want… and I know it's what you want so why don't we just do it why don't we just have a baby…" Arizona continued to ramble and Callie just stared at the blonde.

"Are you sure you want this or are you just wanting to make me happy." Callie asked tears forming in her eyes.

"Both… I really want a baby, and I really want to make you happy." Arizona said "Callie I know that for a long time I never thought I would ever have a baby I didn't want them and you know that. But when it comes to this right now… I want this so bad. And Calliope I want it with you."

Kate watched the two women as her sister expressed her need for a child. She watched how Callie's eye got bigger and full of tears.

"Arizona, are you serious? Is this what you really honest to god want because if it's not we can wait, we can wait till you are really ready-" Callie began.

"No… no Callie this is what I want." Arizona said smiling at her fiance. Arizona took her free hand and pulled Callie to her and kissed her.

"Yay! I'm going to be an aunt now!" Kate said clapping her hands.

Arizona pulled away from Callie and smiled.

"How about we go home and start practicing ways to make a baby." Callie said.

"Uh… you know that we don't have the parts to do that right?" Arizona asked.

"Of course Arizona it was… it was a joke. Ha ha laugh." Callie said getting up from the island. "Come on, give your sister her baby back, and we'll go get our own!"

Arizona turned to Kate, gave her Daniel and left holding Callie's hand. Both women wearin the biggest grin as they left.
