She gives me the most breath-taking smile as tears are well up in her eyes.

"Do you mean it?" she asked quietly and I can't help up pull her in for a quick peck on the lips.

"I do, I really do," I say quietly.

"Awesome" she breathes out. I lay my head down, tired from all the excitement.

"Go to sleep baby, I'll be here when you wake up"

The last thing I remember before going to dream land is Callie's lip on my cheek.

Flashback:

Callie's POV:

I've been sitting next to Arizona's head on the OR table. The surgeons from Seattle Pres. Wanted to argue with me, but I'm sure the look on my face, the bloody scrubs, and my complete refusal eventually convinced him to let me sit with her. There was no way in hell that I would leave the love of my life with complete strangers. So I sat there, stroking her surgery cap covered hair as I cried. I cried for Arizona. I cried for Reed. I cried for Charles. I cried for Alex. I cried for the whole hospital. After a successful surgery of removing the bullet and repairing the damage done. They wheel Arizona to the ICU for observation. The doctors said that the bullet barley got her liver, but it ripped some of her abdominal muscles, which means she needs some extensive physical therapy.

After sitting in the furthest sections of the ICU holding the blonde's hand, I pull out my phone, tired of crying, and dial the number I never thought of dialing for an emergency like this before.

"OH, Calliope! Thank God!" Barbra Robbins quickly said, her voice is as scratchy from crying. It just got to me that they probably saw the news and were worried about Arizona.

"Mrs. Robbins-" Callie replayed quietly.

"Oh! Are you all right? I saw the news and I can't seem to get a hold of Arizona. Is she okay? Please tell me my baby's okay, please Callie!" The elder Robbins rambled quickly as she began to cry. How do I tell this woman that her only daughter has been shot, for me! She's going to hate me…How do you tell a woman who's son was shot dead that her only other child has also been shot?

"Mrs. Robbins, I'm okay, but Arizona…she got shot in the stomach, but she just came out of surgery and she's going to be fine." I said firmly.

"She got shot!? DANIAL, BOOK THOSE FLIGHTS, RIGHT NOW!" the woman orders her husband who quickly completes the task.

Pause. I heard the mother of the love of my life stifle a sob.

"W-what happened? I-Is she alright? Wait let me go get Daniel"

I could here the now broken woman call for her husband…

"Callie?"

I couldn't take it any longer, I just couldn't. So I broke.

"I'm so sorry, there was a shooter in the hospital, and he walked into the room where Arizona and I were. And Arizona was only trying to protect me…She got shot!"

She heard a gasp from the two Robbins through the phone.

"S-she's just came out of surgery, b-but I just wanted to let you know that she was so b-brave. She saved my life and probably the lives of many people. The police said that if it wasn't for Arizona, the shooter would have hurt a lot of people" I said, scared of their reaction, scared for Arizona. Just scared.

"What happened?" the parent quietly asked, but you can hear the two older Robbinses start their vehicle and hit the road to the airport.

"He came into the room with his gun and she fought him. He shot her, but she still knocked him out. She was amazing" I choke out as I run my fingers through those blonde curls.

Present time:

Arizona fell into deep, peaceful sleep for the first time since she and Callie broke up. She didn't have any nightmares of dead children, and she knew that her and Callie are trying to fix their relationship.

After a couple of hours of sleep, the blonde woke up to the gentle touches of her mother.

"Hi, sweetie" Barbara quietly greeted her daughter as she ran her fingers through her hair.

"Mommy!" Arizona lifts her arms up silently asking for a hug from her mother with a bright smile on her face. Barbara doesn't think twice before she wraps her arms around her youngest child. Even though Timmy and Arizona were twins, Arizona was always the baby coming in four and a half minutes after her older brother. That didn't stop Timmy from teasing the younger blonde that he was older therefore, she had to do whatever he tells her to. And little Arizona adored her brother, but she didn't let him bully her around (even though he tried).

"How are you, baby?" Barbara says as she hold tight to her girl like her life depended on it. The mother pulls back a little so she can see the surgeon's face, "hey, hey! No tears, baby girl. Why are you crying?" the woman asks as she wipes her daughters tears.

"Nothing, I just missed you so much. Is dad here?" the blonde asks hopefully.

"Of course, sweetie" she quickly answers. "He just had to forced Callie to get out of the room, so they're both in the cafeteria getting something to eat" the mother explains as she drops a kiss on Arizona's forehead. Arizona breaks into this huge, bright smile.

"You met Callie?" she asks.

"Of course, I did. She's the one who called us. And baby, she's wonderful," Barbra smiles

"I know," Arizona smiles back. "She's amazing. I'm going to marry her one day, mom" the blonde states confidently.

"Well then, I certainly approve. And I'm pretty sure your father does too." She chuckles as she recalls the two's conversation as they started to leave the room. "They're both a couple of peas in a pod. She got time talking about those classic cars and I felt like I couldn't get a word in for hours" Barbra flashes those dimples.

"Haha, I'm sure they are," Arizona smiles as she sits back with a goofy grin on her face. She can't believe her parents are here and that Callie has both of her parents already smitten.

"Knock, Knock" Callie walks in with Daniel walking closely behind the orthopedic surgeon.

"Daddy!" Arizona squeals the second she see her father coming in the room. Although Arizona and Barbra are close, there is nothing that can break the amazing bond that the colonel and his daughter have. They are talk on the phone everyday for hours talking about anything from surgery to the weather.

Daniel walks right in and engulfs his daughter in his strong marine arms.

"I missed you, pumpkin" the marine holds onto his daughter's face wiping away fallen tears. It breaks his heart to see his baby girl in a hospital bed and in pain. "How are you feeling?" he asks.

"Like I got shot in the stomach," Arizona looks at her father. She glances at Callie who was seated next to her mother on the couch in her hospital room. The blonde quickly sends Callie a wink reaching her hand out for Callie to grab and looks back at her father.

"Daddy, I don't think you were properly introduced," She said as she pulled on Callie's hand urging her to come join her near the bed.

"Daddy, this is Calliope Torres. The love of my life" The blonde states proudly as Callie blushes and looks down at Arizona's casted wrist. The pads of her thumb brushes the blonde's knuckles were the skin broke from hitting the shooter. Callie bend down and kisses said knuckles and smiles.

"Yeah, I am" Callie sent Arizona a wink and smiles up at the Colonel.
