AN: So I updated like I said I would. Thanks to those who reviewed last chapter. I'm still taking suggestions for Arizona's friend that is visiting. This is a short chapter but hey, something is better than nothing. I officially finished writing Chapter 18 and it is longer than Chapter 17 (which is longer than this chapter). I just need to type both Chapter 17 and 18.
So who is excited for Grey's Anatomy tonight! I know I am. Then next week is the wedding episode! Anyways, I'll let you read now.
Chapter 16: MFEO and Favors
Then next day, Arizona had the day off so she spent the day with the Torres' and her parents before taking them to the airport. They all decided to go to the park and enjoy the sun. As Carlos and David discussed their family and Rosa and Arizona sat under a tree talking, Barbara and Arizona walked around.
"So you and Callie are good together."
"Yeah, we are. I can't explain it, she just makes everything better and after a year, she still manages to take my breath away."
"That's what love does. I'm just so glad to see you so happy. After everything you've been through, with Joanne and Amy and your brother, I'm just glad you finally found the one."
"You really think she is the one?"
"Sure I do, don't you?"
"Of course I do, but look at what happened with Joanne and Amy. I thought both of them were the one, granted I didn't feel as strongly for either of them as I do for Calliope."
"There is your first clue she's the one. You love Callie more than those two girls combined."
"Yeah, you're right."
"Of course I'm right. Also, when you guys are together you always are having some kind of physical contact, whether it's having your arms wrapped around each other or simply just holding hands. Whenever one of you leaves a room the other looks slightly less happy, but when one of you walks in the other can't help but smile. You guys may not notice but everybody else sure does. It's like you were made for each other."
"Mom, it's not like we were made for each other, we were made for each other."
They kept walking in silence until Arizona managed to ask a question that had been plaguing her mind.
"Do you think he would have approved? I mean you know how protective he was of me. He never approved of Joanne or Kate."
Immediately knowing who her daughter was talking about, she gave Arizona a sad smile.
"Your brother… he would have probably given Callie a hard time at the beginning but I have no doubt in my mind that once he saw how much she loves you, he would have approved."
"Really?"
"Definitely. Callie is very special, he would have seen that."
"Thanks Mom."
"No problem honey."
Callie was having a busy day but she needed to find Mark. Finally spotting him at the end of the hall she ran towards him.
"Hey Mark, hold on!"
"Hey Cal, what's up?"
"I've been looking for you everywhere."
"Sorry, I've been in surgery."
"Oh. Look, I need you to do me a huge favor."
"Okay, sure, anything."
"You have tomorrow off right?"
"Uh yeah, why?"
"I have to uhm… do something tomorrow so I'm going to tell Arizona that I'm hanging out with you all day tomorrow. So if she texts you asking if we're having fun or anything like that tell her yeah or make something up."
"You want me to lie to Arizona and say you're hanging out with me?"
"Yeah. That's what I just said." Callie said a little aggravated as she looked around, making sure nobody was listening in on their conversation.
"Gosh Callie. No need to be so feisty."
"Sorry."
"Well what if Arizona wants to "hang out with us"?"
"She has to work tomorrow so she won't. So can you?"
"I don't know Callie, lying to Arizona, that's risky. I heard she threatened to hit Karev with a brick because he slept with you years ago. She may seem all innocent, but she can probably kick ass."
"Please Mark."
"Why are you lying to her? What are you going to do tomorrow that you can't tell Arizona?"
"It's not important."
"Not important? You're lying to her, it must be important." Mark muttered.
"Just trust me okay?"
"I do trust you."
"So you'll do it?"
"Yeah sure, whatever."
"Thanks Mark. I have surgery in five minutes so I have to go," She yelled as she ran to the OR, "You're the best!"
AN: I'll try to post the next chapter as soon as I can but it probably won't be for a couple of weeks. Reviews make me happy so please review!
P.S. I found out that Callie's mom's name is Lucia, but I decided not to change it unless you guys want me to. If you want me to change Rosa's name to Lucia just let me know in a review and I will.
