Callie took Arizona's hand and led her through parts of the castle until Arizona was completely and totally lost. Delilah was standing across her shoulders as she walked and Alya following closely beside Callie.

Callie could feel the marks on her chest burning, she knew what this could to to Arizona as well as Delilah. Soon they reached what seemed to be a dead end. Callie closed her eyes briefly and reached out gently pushing on the wall. She grunted as the wall gave way and Arizona raised an eyebrow as their eyes met Arizona saw the orange glow of her effort, and the heavily controlled battle lust hidden just underneath the surface of her emotion. She led Arizona into a small space and then turned she pushed the wall closed As she turned around she sighed. The space in which they were hidden was at the bottom of one of the hanging gardens of Baylon and a waterfall cascaded into the space. Arizona saw a warriors circle engraved in tile in the small clearing to the left of the waterfall, and a small bed off to the right.

"Gods Callie, where are we?"

Callie smiled.

"These are my training grounds and my place of rest, no one knows of this place but me. Come babe."

Callie taking her hand took her over to the warriors circle and set her down outside of it. Callie called softly to Alya, while taking off her shirt and setting her weapons to the side. Alya walked over and sitting on her haunches waited for her master to signal her.

Arizona's breath caught in her chest when she her eyes roved over her lovers chest. Callie wore a simple leather bra and her muscles flexed as she moved. Arizona's eyes caught the mark on her chest and gasped. A paw shaped scar, exactly where the claws would be on a snow leopards paw, accented the area over her heart. Arizona's eyes watched in fascination as the two seemed to circle each other.

Callie spoke softly to Alya who stood on her back paws and placed her paw over the exact mark. Callie leaned her forehead against Alya speaking softly to her. Alya came down off her haunches and began to circle Callie. Callie's eyes opened and the orange glow that had briefly disappeared in her brown eyes seemed to come back in full force, flames of battle lust dancing in her eyes as Alya circled her. Alya roared and began running towards Callie. Callie met her halfway and the two sparred back and forth, two sinewy bodies moving in constant friction with one another. Pushing each other. Arizona watched in fascination as the sparring continued until a moment where the two seemed to become one. Once this was complete they broke apart and Alya moved to the side of the circle calling Delilah to her. Callie's eyes which had been closed opened and the orange flames had turned into a deep aqua blue, the same color as Alya's eyes. She turned and walked over to Arizona taking her hands and walking to the middle of the circle.

"Sit."

"Cal.."

"No Arizona you must trust me."

For a moment Arizona gazed into the brown eyes accentuated by the dancing blue flame in them and reached out to touch Callie's cheek Callie's hands were on a criss cross pattern and as they came down light seemed to explode around them. All that Arizona knew was Callie. When her hand connected she could hear Callie's heartbeat, feel the breath come in and out of her lungs and for a moment Callie let her and then gently inhaling and closing her eyes she pushed Arizona's awareness to Delilah's heartbeat and breathing. Arizona felt her eyes close at the light touch of Delilah touching her subconscious, just before she was lost in the leopard's mind she felt Callie grab her hand and place it over the scar on her heart and she was almost catapulted forward into Delilah's mind. Arizona blacked out, but in her mind she was alive.

A large beautiful snow leopard stood before her its lavender blue eyes blinked gently at her.

" Arizona."

"Delilah?"

A small chuckle left the animal's mouth.

"Indeed."

"You're big."

"Indeed. You will need my strength and today I will become apart of you."

"And calliope?"

"She and Alya will enter in at their appropriate time. Be patient. For now come."

Slowly little by little Delilah took Arizona through her life, from her childhood, to her darker moments, to her light moments, through her dreams, the broken ones, the wars she'd fought, the pain she inflicted on others. One by one those memories began to affect Arizona. At several points when she felt the pain she had caused others she fell to her knees tears streaming down her face, and Delilah was there her hands fisted into her fur and her tears staining the white fur. Delilah nudged her gently after a moment.

"Let me into your pain Arizona."

The lavender eyes clashed with the blue and a roar echoed in the deepest hollows of her subconscious mind as Delilah bonded with her and became apart of her memories, her hopes, her dreams, her deepest fears, deepest desires, all that she was Delilah became apart of. The two figures clung to one another as the whirlwind passed and the shadows formed. Arizona was on her knees in her subconscious clinging to Delilah for her life and as her breathing stabilized and her heart rate slowed down, hers began to beat in time with Delilah's. A purr lulled her into a deep sleep.

Arizona woke up slightly disoriented, under her hands was soft fur and she smiled when the purring sound reached her ears. There was a warm body behind her and a arm protectively slung across her waist. She opened her eyes to find a bed beneath her, Callie behind her holding her and a now very large snow leopard in front of her. Delilah craned her head and as Arizona began to speak the soft velvety voice echoed in her mind.

"Shh you will wake Callie and Alya, they need rest."

Arizona raised an eyebrow and thought.

"You grew?"

"Yes I have been accelerated to your age, I will live as long as you will unless I die protecting you."

Arizona began to protest in her mind but once more the velvety voice cut her off.

"It was my choice Arizona. You are my t'cha, apart of you will always be mine and apart of me will always be yours. As the years go by that will increase, roll over and look at Callie's scar."

Arizona did and was surprised to find a smaller paw print engulfed in the larger one.

"What does this mean?"

"It means that only through she and Alya we were able to bond and she that we are both equally apart of them as they are of us. You will be able to sense and feel each others pain and in time you will be able to control it. She is your soulmate, You will never be able to bond with another. You can choose to walk away from her but you will never bond with another as you have with her."

"Makes sense."

"you will be married tonight and Calliope Torres will forever be yours. If you die, so does she."

"And if she dies?"

"Your bond with her is not as strong as yours is with hers, emotionally you will die, but noy physically. Before you get offended, its because she bonded us. That cost Calliope apart of herself, because of the way she bonded with Wind the first time and the re-bonding that took place between her and Ayla she has our blood running through her. IN time that bond may develop just as strongly in you, but for now it will not, this is why I am your guardian."

Arizona felt Callie stir beside her and the brown accented by blue flames opened and met the blue accented by lavender flames. Calliope gasped at the beauty before her and she brought up her hand to caress her soul mates cheek.

"I like the lavender."

Looking over Arizona she smiled when she saw Delilah. Delilah nodded in respect and she and Alya got up and moved over to a small patch of ground nearby and curled up together.

"How are you feeling?"

" Honestly? I am a bit tired but energized as well, It's weird another being in my head."

Callie chuckled.

"You''ll get used to it." Her eyes studied Arizona's. " I love you Ari."

Arizona's eyes flickered and gently she closed her eyes as she opened her emotions and felt shock course though her as she felt the depth of Calliope's love for her. She gasped as she felt Calliope's hand caress her cheek.

"Ari.."

Arizona's eyes opened and she saw the intensity in Callie's brown eyes. Tears softly filled her eyes at the mix of the heightened emotion and the heightened caress of Callie's touch.

"Calliope make love to me."

"We'll be married in a few hours can't wait that long?"

As she spoke her fingers gently played with the edges of her lovers skirt, playing over the muscles of her stomach. Arizona whimpered and Calliope smiled and kissed her gently. Soon the gentleness turned into something more heated as Arizona deepened the kiss and pulled Calliope ontop of her. Callie moaned softly into her mouth. They broke apart when they needed air Callie resting her forehead on Arizona's.

"Baby, I want you, but I want it as our first time to be as a married couple. Tonight I promise to fufill all your dreams, to make love to you until your body can't handle it anymore."

Arizona groaned but seeing the seriousness of her soul mate nodded.

"Ok but you need to get off me or I will not stop myself."

Callie kissed her gently again and then got off her and headed towards the wall. She pushed it open and let the two leopards and her lover walk out, groaning as she watched her lover sashay down the hall flicking her hips. They separated ways as they went to their separate rooms to prepare for the day that would unite them forever.

Arizona entered the separate room she had been assigned to prepare for the wedding. ON the bed was one of the most beautiful dresses she had ever seen. She smiled as her fingers caressed a note fro Calliope.

Baby,

This is a dress I saw in the market this morning. I knew w anted to marry you but somehow I didn't think it would be so soon. I can't wait to see you in this. I love you Arizona Robbins, You are the love of my life. Normally I'm somewhere between unsure and a 100% sure but today my love,I am 100% knowing that at the end of the day you will be my wife. I look forward to making love to you until you scream out for me to stop, I look forward to fighting battles with you and growing old with you, I look forward to having those moments in time when it all seems to stop and for a moment, just for a moment the sound of a heartbeat and the breath entering and exiting your lungs is all that matters. I look forward to crying with you, holding you when you need me to, fighting with you when you need me to. I look forward to all of those things my olve, my heart, my soulmate. you are my better half Arizona Robbins. I love you baby.

See you in a few hours,

Callie.

Tears softly began to stream down Arizona's face as she read the note from her soon to be wife. A smile softly caressed her features. A knock sounded at the door and Teddy popped her head around the corner of the doorframe.

"Can I help?"

"Gods yes."

Teddy smiled and coming around the door and gaped at the dress.

"Wow, these baylonians know how to make a dress. Gods Addison would look good in that."

Arizona chuckled.

"So when were you planning on telling me?"

"Meaning?"

"You've been married three days now and you haven't even told me."

Teddy chuckled.

"No we haven't told anyone. We just wanted it to be a surprise and eventually would tell people."

"Are you leaving my service Teddy?"

"We haven't gotten that far yet."

"I see. Well she makes you happy that's all that matters to me."

Teddy smiled.

"Come on princess lets get you into this dress."

Calliope stood from her bed and slowly began to lay out her traditional Babylonian armor and began putting it on when the door opened and Addison stepped in. Se pointed to the armor with a crinkled nose.

"You're not wearing that are you?"

Callie chuckled.

"What's wrong with it?"

"Well you see you are an Amazon, you should wear the mixed armor. Besides Arizona was drooling over the non-formal version the other day. Wear the full traditional armor. Its gorgeous on you."

Callie chuckled and the two began to pull it out of the closet. It was a beautiful set. Half in amazon light colors, using plaadium for the amazon traditional side and a dark stained steel for the other. the symbols of both nations were separate on each side of the breastplate and then merged in the middle into a large snow leopard print, the middle holding a large sapphire. The mask was the same, painted light with traditional Amazon symbols and colors and dark on the other with the Babylonian symbols. Callie's father had the armor forged after their last battle, and for traditional situations. it fit her well and was not too terribly uncomfortable. Addison was sitting on the be fidgeting a tiny bit when Callie chuckled.

"What Addy?"

"Teddy and I got married."

Callie chuckled.

"I know. I was there."

"What?"

"Eiraina told me. I was hiding in the trees. Gods you both looked beautiful."

Addison chuckled.

"Should have known. Come on lets get your hair done."

She stood and braided a feather into Callie's hair and did a traditional wrap. When she finished she looked into her best friends eyes and saw the blueish glow. Stepping back she gave Callie a once over.

"Gods your beautiful."

Callie chuckled.

"You're a married woman."

Addison chuckled.

"I'll confess to my wife later. IN the meantime you are going to be late."

Addison led her to the hall her father had set up. It was very traditionally Babylonian but Callie smiled when she saw the rich amazon colors intermingled with the Babylonian. Her parents had always been that way, their love a perfect merging of the two nations. Something she hoped would happen with her and Arizona, a merging of hearts, a merging of nations, and a merging of families. Callie stood in front off her father, only a few nobles and choice families had been invited to the wedding, though they would be presented to the nation later that day. She fidgeted waiting for Arizona to appear. Her father grinned his eyes twinkling at his daughters antsiness. Soon the trumpet sounded and his own wife appeared and his breath caught in his throat. Gods his wife was beautiful. She joined him up on the stage a smile adorning her features. She stopped and hugged her daughter whispering in her ear.

"You chose well daughter."

Callie hugged her mother close, Alya sitting at her side as the trumpets announced Arizona's presence. Callie turned her gaze and a small expletive come from her mouth.

"Mother of the gods she's beautiful."

The white dress hugged Arizona in all the right places, showing off her beautiful body. a small snow leopard print was embroidered over her heart. She wore Persian colors as a sash across her waist. Blue met brown and the dimpled smile cross her features causing Callie to gasp at her wife's beauty. Her whole world was beginning to be wrapped up in that smile. Carlos began the ceremony as soon as Arizona joined her on the platform, they exchanged vows and they were presented to the nation. The entire nations below the platform cheered as Callie and her wife were presented, the treaty was signed and a giant feast began.

Callie sat next to her wife and smiled over at Arizona. They had been teasing each other all night; to caking each other in the face, just to get a kiss, to hands on thighs, to Callie pushing her wife into the wall on the way to the reception and kissing her breathless. Shortly after they had arrived a slow song had been turned on and they had danced together for the first time slowly. As the notes came to an end Callie reached down and lifting her wife's eyes to hers kissed her softly.

"I love you wife."

Arizona smiled.

"I love you to Calliope."

The evening had dragged on, cake cut, dances done, and Callie was getting anxious. Arizona was currently in conversation to her right with a diplomat from one of the adjoining nations. They were discussing the treaty that was now official represented with the marriage of Callie and Arizona. Arizona's hand was resting on her thigh rubbing small circles reminding Callie of the burning need between her legs. Her mother seeing her plight walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I'll distract the diplomat, get your wife out of here, the west wing is yours indefnatly, get out of here. I gotta give you two credit you lasted longer than your father and I."

Callie chuckled and mumbled.

"Yeah I wanted to know that. Thanks mom."

Reaching out she hugged her mother close and then watched as her mother winked and grabbed the diplomat. Arizona met her look with a grin.

"That was suttle."

Callie chuckled and kissed her gently, then grabbing her hand gently led her to the west wing. The leopards padded gently behind them. Callie opened the door and motioned her lover, her wife, her soulmate into the candlelit room. Arizona walked in and smiled at the beautiful room before her. Calliope followed her in once more leading her wife. Callie took her back to the bathroom and gently undressed her, helping her change into a nightgown. Arizona smiled as her wife kept it platonic, then turning helped her take off the armor.

"You look so damn sexy in this, I'm not sure I want to take it off you."

Callie laughed.

"It makes it harder trust me."

Arizona raised an eyebrow.

"do I want to know if you've actually tried this?"

Callie chuckled.

"No love I haven't but its hard enough to pee in it, much less doing all the things I plan on doing with you tonight."

Arizona smiled.

"Promises Promises Calliope."

Callie leaned down and kissed her bride solidly before once more taking her hand and leading her into the living area. Handing her a glass of wine the two sat and talked for a bit. Arizona looked at her wife and spoke softly.

"Tell me about the tournament."

"Well Alya, Addy, her wolf and I fight twenty of the best warriors the hoard has to offer, including the chief. Weapons are usually poison tipped. We have an antidote love, never fear. Plus, I have you to come home to Arizona, this battle, and every successive battle is easier because I have you to come home to. I can face any storm, any fear, any doubt, any demon with you at my side. I love you. Only you."

Arizona laughed at the tears brimming in her eyes and then leaning in took Calliope's wine and set it on the table. Leaning in she captured her wife's lips in a slow and soft kiss. Callie responded gently pulling her closer. They enjoyed each other knowing there was no rush, no holding back this time. When the kiss ended Arizona leaned in her forehead resting against her wife's.

"Make love to me Calliope."

Callie smiled and standing picked up her wife and walked her into the bedroom. Slowly, lovingly they undressed each other and crawled onto the large bed together. Both woman groaned when skin met and Arizona on the top kissed Callie gently. Callie moaned in her mouth as she deepened the kiss, allowing her body to respond. Arizona smiled as she traced every curve with her fingers, letting them caress ad arouse, she looked down at her wife and smiled at the glazed look. Grinning she waited until Callie came back to herself and then felt her lover flip her over. She felt her back hit the soft mattress and her lover move ontop of her. Callie smiled at her and gently taking her lips in a soft kiss.

"I love you Arizona."

Gently very gently Calliope deepened the kiss her tongue invading her Arizona's mouth. She took her time, moving down the toned body beneath her. Her fingers traces the beautiful neck and caressing along her lovers sides, tracing Arizona's ribs, slowly arousing her lover with her burning touch. Callie allowed her hands to treasure each curve and she ran her hands up into the valley between Arizona's breasts, kissing her lovers neck.

"You're so beautiful Arizona. So beautiful."

Her fingers moved and she gently moved to completely caress Arizona's breast, the pads of her thumbs running over the top of Arizona's nipples waiting until they peaked under her ministrations. She felt Arizona's breath hitch; the vein in her neck beating faster as Callie loved her. Callie bent her head and gently taking Arizona's left nipple in her mouth she swirled around it with her tongue, and then pulled away blowing gently on it causing it to peak almost painfully.

Callie smiled satisfied, as Arizona squirmed beneath her. She moved on, kneading the breast gently, then gently took the whole thing as far into her mouth as she could, sucking on it. Arizona moaned, her hips bucking against the knee in her core, gently arching her back pushing her fingers into Callie's hair and pulling her closer. Callie smiled feeling her lover respond.

Gently reached between her lovers legs, as to not surprise her, ran her fingers up her lovers wet slit. Arizona cried out softly as Callie withdrew her fingers and traced them down Arizona's thighs. Callie smiled at the beautiful sight before her. Arizona's head was thrown back, her eyes closed as Callie very gently traced her lovers sex with her fingers and dipped in gently for only a moment before withdrawing. Arizona bucked her hips, seeking Callie's fingers to go deeper. Callie smiled as she continued to tease, withdrawing almost completely from all contact as Arizona's hips moved again. Callie took both of Arizona's hands in her left, pining them above her head and inserted one finger just barely. Hearing Arizona growl, Callie could tell her lover was holding back.

"Open your eyes Ari."

Arizona's blue eyes popped open as Callie inserted two fingers, Arizona's eyes widening and her hips begging to rock forward trying to draw the fingers deeper. Callie's eyes almost dropped close at the pleasure, and inserted her fingers deeper, allowing her lover the satisfaction and contact they both sought. Dipping her head Callie took one of Arizona's nipples in her mouth as her fingers continued to push in and out of Arizona, she thrust her own hips forward, using her knee to drive her fingers, deeper and deeper into Arizona.

"I'm so close Cal. Please baby."

Callie smiled and bit down gently on the nipple in her mouth as she curled her fingers and Arizona's walls clamped down hard around her fingers and her abdominal muscles tightened as she came. She let out a low guttural moan, Callie slowed her fingers for just a moment watching for just a moment. Blue and brown held the gaze.

Arizona saw stars explode in front of her eyes, her abdominal muscles tightening painfully as she felt Calliope love her. Her nipple was released as Callie drove her knee into her hand again and brought Arizona to a second orgasm, just as painful and deep as the first. Callie continued to move softly within her until she came back to herself and then she watched as Callie gently moved down her body and began to clean up her mess. Callie's tongue teased her opening but only briefly, Arizona felt Callie's fingers withdraw and watched through hooded satisfied, spent eyes as her wife's eyes closed as she sucked Arizona's fluids off her fingers. As the brown eyes opened again and met her blue eyes a smirk appeared on Callie's features.

"Hi."

Arizona grinned.

"Hi." she murmured as she reached up and caressed Callie's cheek. "Calliope that was amazing. I love you wife, I have never been so treasured and loved, thank you for that. Give me a minute and I will reciprocate, but somebody made my legs, arms and limbs not function."

Callie grinned and dropped a quick kiss on Arizona's lips.

"Just fulfilling my wifely duties." gazing deeply into the blue eyes, she ran a finger along the cheek bone. "Duties I look forward to fulfilling the rest of my life."

Arizona pulled her down into another kiss; a slow, sensual, forever kind of kiss.
