Callie rolled over on her side and propped herself up on her elbow so she could look down at the blonde next to her. "You look so beautiful."
Arizona glared at her. "It's not going to work, Calliope."
Callie smiled. "Gorgeous is really a better word for it."
"Sucking up isn't going to help," the blonde told her firmly. "This is miserable and it's your fault."
Callie laughed and shook her head, dropping a kiss to Arizona's pregnant belly. "If I remember correctly, it wasn't me that did this to you. Not technically anyways."
"It would have been," Arizona argued back. "You know, if it could have been."
"I know," Callie smiled and kissed her. "And if it could have been, it would have been."
Arizona nodded and finally smiled. "I know."
Callie stared at her for a long moment and suddenly her expression fell and her head dropped.
Arizona frowned. "Sweetie, what's wrong?"
Callie shook her head as she struggled to swallow her tears. "Nothing."
"Babe, this is hardly nothing," the blonde replied as she reached for the other woman's hand.
Callie shook her head again and swiped at a tear. "I'm sorry."
"Hey, come here," Arizona ordered gently with a frown as she reached out to the woman next to her. "Cal, what's all this about?"
"I'm scared to death," Callie told her quietly. "What if something happens to you or the baby? What would I do without you?"
Arizona smiled and shook her head. "Calliope, nothing is going to happen to me or to the baby. We're both healthy. Everything will be fine."
"You don't know that," Callie reminded her as she propped herself up against the headboard and pulled the blonde into her body.
"I know I don't," Arizona replied, loving how close she was to her girlfriend. "But I have a feeling deep down inside that we're all going to be fine. Our little family will be just fine."
"Our little family," Callie repeated softly as she stared down at her girlfriend who was smiling brightly at her.
"Everything is fine," Arizona whispered as she dropped a gentle kiss to Callie's lips.
Callie nodded and pulled the blonde as close to her as she could.
"Can we play the name game?" Arizona asked quietly with a smile.
"I wish we could, but I have to go to work," Callie mumbled reluctantly.
Arizona pouted. "But I don't want to be here all day by myself."
"You'll be fine," Callie replied with a grin as she leaned down and kissed her. "Names tonight, I promise."
Arizona nodded with a smile. "I'll meet you for lunch later?"
Callie nodded. "Definitely. I'll call you later to see how you two are doing."
"Love you," Arizona told her quietly.
Callie leaned in for one more kiss. "Love you."

Later that afternoon Callie came running into the ER and found Bailey there waiting for her. "What's up, I got a 911 page?"
"Where have you been, I've been paging you for half a damn hour," Bailey exclaimed, looking frustrated and annoyed.
Callie raised an eyebrow, not used to Bailey yelling at her. "I'm sorry, I was finishing up a surgery."
Bailey shook her head and held up both her hands, her eyes solemn. "Callie, something has happened and I need you to keep your cool."
Callie narrowed her eyes. "Bailey, what's going on?"
Bailey swallowed hard. "Arizona was brought in not long ago. She's been hit by a car."
"That's not funny," Callie replied immediately with a shake of her head. "Seriously, what's going on?"
"I'm serious," Bailey told her quietly. "The car wasn't traveling that fast, but the driver was on his damn cell phone and didn't see her."
"No," Callie replied with a shake of her head, trying desperately to ignore the rising panic inside that was threatening to swallow her whole. "She's at home. And she's pregnant. She can't be in here."
Bailey grasped her by the elbow and pulled her into an empty trauma room. "She suffered a broken leg and some minor lacerations; she was lucky. It's a lot of bumps and bruises. But we have to deliver the baby via cesarean right now to save its life."
"Her," Callie mumbled without thinking.
Bailey looked up questioningly. "What?"
"The baby is a girl," Callie whispered as tears sprang to her eyes. "Arizona didn't want to know but I begged Addison to tell me. It's a girl."
"Dr. Montgomery was paged and should be here any second," Bailey told her.
"I want to see her," Callie mumbled as she swiped at her tears.
Bailey nodded and led Callie from the trauma room to another where Arizona was lying with her eyes closed tightly, as if she was in a great deal of pain. Her leg was already in a cast and Callie frowned when she saw the side of her face already swelling.
Callie approached the bed slowly and reached out to grasp the blonde's hand. Arizona's eyes shot open in surprise but her expression turned relived when she saw Callie.
"Hey," she breathed out.
"Are you okay?" Callie whispered as she leaned over to drop a kiss to Arizona's forehead.
"The baby," Arizona replied, her voice strained. "Something's wrong."
Callie nodded wordlessly, her tears and panic threatening to overtake her. She did her best to be strong and she took in a shaky breath. "Bailey said Addison is on her way and we have to deliver the baby right away."
"C-section?" Arizona asked with a pained frown.
Callie nodded as she swiped at her tears. "Sorry, Sweetie."
Arizona nodded and closed her eyes, a few tears slipping out. "I just want the baby to be okay."
"She will be," Callie responded with a shaky smile. She reached out gently and brushed the blonde's tears away.
Arizona's eyes opened immediately and she looked up at the brunette next to her with a hopeful and teary smile. "She?"
Callie cringed and shook her head. "I'm sorry. I know you didn't want to know. Damn it."
"Sweetie, it's fine," Arizona whispered before taking in a shaky breath. She flinched and let out a tiny grunt in pain, her hand falling to her swollen belly. "Oh, I wish Addison would hurry up."
"Speak of the devil," Callie mumbled as she spotted Addison rounding the corner and heading for their room.
"Arizona, how are you feeling?" Addison asked as soon as she entered the room. She picked up the chart and flipped it open before sliding an arm around Callie's shoulders and giving her a light squeeze. "I'm sorry, I got here as soon as I could."
"Something's not right with the baby," the blonde managed to tell them both.
"She's in a bit of distress, so we're heading to the OR right now," Addison replied with a nod to the nurse in the room.
Callie leaned over and kissed Arizona gently. "I'll be right there with you."
Arizona nodded tearily and tried to smile as she was wheeled away. Addison moved to follow but Callie stopped her.
"Addison, please," she begged, her voice shaking.
Addison nodded and pulled her into a hug. "I'll take good care of her, I promise." She gave her friend a squeeze before releasing her and wiping away a stray tear. Her heart broke for her friend.
"She's my entire world," Callie whispered with desperate, pleading eyes.
Addison nodded again. "I know. She's going to be fine."
"Thank you," Callie told her before the two of them headed to the OR.

A few hours later Arizona opened her eyes and breathed out a sigh of relief. She winced as a wave of pain hit her but a moment later her pain disappeared when she caught sight of Callie sitting at her bedside cradling their daughter.
"She's still okay?" Arizona whispered, startling Callie who smiled down at her.
"She's perfect." Callie leaned over her and placed the baby in her arms gently.
"Are you sure?" Arizona asked again as she looked down at the baby who had a full head of dark hair and striking blue eyes.
"She's fine. And she's beautiful." Callie leaned over and kissed the blonde gently.
Arizona kept her eyes trained on the baby and she nodded. "She is."
A knock at the door caused them both to look up and they smiled when Addison popped her head in the room. "Can I come in?"
"Of course," Arizona told her with a tired smile.
"How are mom and the baby?" Addison asked as she slid an arm around Callie's shoulders.
"Both fine, both gorgeous," Callie replied with a smile, never taking her eyes off of Arizona.
"Thank you," Arizona told her quietly with a grateful smile.
Addison smiled warmly. "You're feeling okay?"
Arizona nodded. "Sore, but good."
Addison placed a hand on her arm. "You and the baby are both just fine, everything went as well as it could have gone."
Callie sighed in relief and dropped into the chair next to the bed. "Thank God. And thank you."
Addison smiled. "You're welcome." She watched as Callie handed the baby to Arizona and they both cooed over her. "I have to get back to L.A. but you're both in very good hands here as you know."
"Thank you so much," Arizona told her with a smile as she looked up.
Addison smiled warmly. "You're welcome. If you need anything at all, you know where to find me."
Callie kissed Arizona's forehead gently and followed Addison from the room. "I really can't thank you enough."
Addison pulled her into a hug. "I'm just glad they're both okay."
"You and me both," Callie told her with a relieved sigh.
Addison watched her for a moment and smiled. "You've done really well for yourself, Callie. Arizona adores you and you two have made an absolutely gorgeous baby. You're lucky."
"I am," Callie agreed with a teary smile.
Addison hugged her tightly. "I'll call you later to check in and if you need anything at all, I'll be here in no time."
"Thank you," Callie whispered. "For everything."
Addison nodded with a smile. "Get back to your family."
Callie nodded and smiled before heading back into the room with Arizona and the baby and sitting at the bedside watching Arizona and the baby made her the happiest she'd ever been in her entire life and she knew nothing would ever compare to that moment.
"Name game?" Arizona asked with a soft smile, looking up at her.
Callie nodded and leaned in to kiss her forehead gently. "Sounds perfect."
An hour later the two of them were signing the birth certificate for Brooke Sloane Torres and both felt that their lives were just beginning and couldn't be happier.
