At last. Silence… Arizona took her parents to the airport. My own parents left yesterday. They decided to make a joint visit-surprise. Imagine our shock, when early in the morning, when me and my super hot wife having some sexy time, my phone starts ringing and my mom, in the sweetest manner is telling me that both they are at our doorsteps! Surprise, my ass… No, don't get me wrong, I love our parents! I really do. But sometimes they are too much. For example, when we took them to dinner two days ago, Arizona's mother not so subtly asked when we planning to give them a second grandchild. Um, let's just say that I choked on my wine and Arizona lost her jaw somewhere under the table… If I only had a camera with me… So, all this talking about children is bringing me back to my story…

"After our magnificent wedding we escaped to a very secure beach at the one of the finest Spain's resorts. It was heaven. I'll never forget when Arizona took me on a date one night. It was unexpected, but very pleasant surprise. When I came back to our hotel room after a little work out at the gym, I found a note on our bed. It said to meet her on the roof in 40 minutes. Next to the note was a garment bag. When I opened it I saw a dress. It was the same one that I was wearing the night I proposed to her. I think I took the fastest shower in my life. After a very thoughtful preparation I went to meet my date. When I opened the door to the roof my mind froze with the image of the most beautiful creature on this earth. Arizona was looking at the sea below and I could admire her unnoticed. Sunset rays painted her hair in golden colors and gave additional sparks to her eyes. She was wearing a stunning white dress. Wind was playing with her golden locks and in her hands she held one single red rose. Arizona smiled gently and turned to me. At this moment I wanted to fall on my knees and worship her. She was like a goddess. Magnificent, breathtaking, graceful. But most of all I remember her gaze. Pure love and adoration that flowed freely to me. I basked in rays of our love. We didn't need words. Our hearts were talking… We spent this night talking, gazing at the stars and dancing to the sound of wind…

Our honeymoon was magical. And I was a little afraid to head back home. I didn't want to go back to work, stress and other pleasantries of an adult life. But right before our flight back to Seattle Arizona told me one thing, that no matter what life holds will throw our way, until we have each other, we could face anything. And she was right. As always.

So we fell in a comfortable routine. Married life is a really good thing. After a couple of years we finally decided on a perfect house in a very good neighborhood not so far from the hospital. It was meant to be a family home. So these thoughts lead us to talking about children.

We decided that I'll be carrying our child, found a very good doctor, I endured all medical tests. Our doctor told us that it was very rare to become pregnant after the first try. But, I guess we are blessed in more ways than one. Because a month after the first try a started to feel some changes in me. I can't describe it with words. But I felt something. I was working my shift at that day and decided to take a test right away. When I saw that it was positive I almost fainted. To make sure I made a couple more. Like ten or so… And when all of them were positive I sprinted from the bathroom in search of a certain peds surgeon. I failed to find her so I paged her to an on-call room. 5 minutes later she walked in and I handed her the test without a word. I really shouldn't do this in a hospital, because I think her shrilling "I'm gonna be a mom!" heard half of the staff. Next couple of months Arizona was simply flying down the halls, showing our friends the latest ultrasound pictures and being overly perky. Things changed when I was 5 months pregnant. My wife decided that I need full time attention and was driving me mad with questions like "Did you sleep well?", "Are you cold (hot)?", blah, blah, blah… At first I liked such attention, but soon I simply just started hiding from her. Final straw was when my wife announced that because it's 8 month and there won't be any sexy time in near future. I'm ashamed to admit it but I played very dirty to get my wife in bed. She was holding for whole two weeks.

And finally the moment of miracle came. Aside from the fact that Arizona intimidated all the staff in a delivery room, I gave birth to our daughter without any problems. I remember the look of pure awe on Arizona's face when she was holding Amy for the first time. Her hands, her steady surgical hands were shaking and her eyes were glistering with happy tears. And when my wife took this small bundle of joy in her hands I felt complete. My family. This is what I'm living for."

Just as I finished writing I heard that the main door opened. I guess my love is home. She strolled past the open door to our office and straight to our bedroom. I went after her. When I walked in the room I found her lying on the bed fully clothed and face down. I smiled, she's really exhausted.

"Hey, hon, wanna anything?" I lay down with her.

"Sleep…" yeah, she's whipped. I started to undress her, while she was mumbling something about 'parents', 'annoying' and 'desert island'. She's so cute. When covered her with a blanket she was already fast asleep. Ah, what the hell, I could use a nap too.

Yes, life is perfectly perfect right now.

Epilogue

When I opened my eyes I found our bed without one important blonde. So I went in search of Arizona. I found her in a living room, in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine, reading something. When I came closer I saw that she was crying. Don't panic, don't panic.

"Arizona, love, what's the matter?" She looked a little startled but then smiled and beckoned me to seat with her.

"Everything is fine. I just found this at our computer and decided to print it." Uh… busted. I'm not blushing, I'm not blushing… "Hey, look at me" I raised my head and was met with the most loving gaze I ever saw. "It's beautiful. It's our life. It's, God, I'm so madly in love with you."

She almost crushed me in her embrace. The sheer force of our love simply overwhelmed me and I clutched to Arizona, desperate to feel her closer to me.

I guess we were sitting like that for an hour when Arizona shifted and looked at me. She looked hesitant.

"I was wondering… You know, our parents… and, I…"

"Honey, just tell me. Hmm?" She bit her lip.

"I… I want another child." She saw the expression on my face and hurriedly started explaining. "No. Not right now. I mean in a year or a year and a half… of if you want two, or…" I didn't let her finish and crashed our lips together.

"Yes, Arizona, yes. Whenever you want." I thought her smile would split her face in two.

"Really?"

"Really."

She pinned me to the floor.

"Well, Calliope, I think we could start trying now." I smiled in amusement.

"Um, not to burst your bubble, honey, I'm good, but not that good." Now my grin was smug. Until she started tracing my ear with her tongue. Oh, I'm in heaven. What are we talking about?

"But a little practice never hurt anyone." Now she was smirking. Oh, practice…

Yeah, we're sickingly in love. Awfully happy. And with a great future ahead.

The End
