CHAPTER 2

CALLIE FINDS OUT ABOUT THE FIGHT.

"Oh crap! We have to be there in half an hour! Is she ready to go?" Arizona said suddenly looking at Mark with a look of concern.

"Yes she's ready to go. Diaper bag is packed and the portable O2 is ready to go too." Mark said heading out the door with the baby and supplies.

"Come on Callie we have got to go." Arizona stated grabbing her hand and literally dragged her out of Marks apartment. Mark was waiting for them in the open elevator with an amused look on his face. Arizona only let go of Callie long enough for her to shut the door to Marks apartment. Callie looked at Arizona as she rushed around the car, making sure both she and Sophia were situated. When Mark started up the car, Callie looked at Arizona and then asked,

"Where are we going? Why are both of you also off today? What is going on?"

"Mark and I are also on maternity leave. The chief gave it to all of us. We are all off for the next two weeks. When you and I were talking about wedding stuff while you were in the hospital I was giving the information to him and he has basically set everything up. The food has been taken care of, the reception has been taken care of, the flowers are done and now we need our dresses." Arizona stated in her perky way, then she quickly added, "Oh yeah, I'm glad we did what we did last night, because my mom and The Cornel and your parents are all flying into Seattle right now. My parents will be here about 5pm and yours will be here at 9pm tonight. All of our parents are in the air as we speak." Mark glanced over at Arizona and told her to breath, then he glanced in the mirror and saw a look between amused and pissed sitting on Callie's face.

"So what do I get to plan in all of this? You guys have really gotten close. What brought this out in you guys? What changed between you two, you are a lot closer now?" The two of them knew that she needed to know the truth about the fight she had heard about. Arizona shot Mark a look as they pulled up to the bridal shop. As Arizona let Callie out of the car, Mark said that since Sophia was sleeping peacefully he wouldn't mind driving around the parking lot with her. They both nodded at him and Arizona then added as Callie headed towards the entrance,

"If she starts to wake up or you notice her getting to warm just bring her inside. Also call Miranda I think that we might need her to meet us all for lunch. Today is her day off too." Mark nodded at her, knowing that she would be a good mediator when they told Callie about the fight. As soon as the girls were inside the bridal shop, Mark called Miranda and asked for her to meet them for lunch at a local restaurant. Thankfully she was in the same area and she agreed to meet with them, she had told Arizona that she'd be there when Callie found out, and she kept her word.

Sophia was just starting to fuss when both women climbed back into the car, with the dresses in there hands.

"You should of seen her Mark she was absolutely breathtakingly stunning in her dress, I mean I knew that Callie was hot, but the dress she picked out made her the hottest woman in the store." Arizona gushed making Callie blush from the back seat.

"She looked pretty stunning herself in her dress too." Callie said smiling at Arizona. Then she added, "I got a number to a good place for the ceremony from the seamstress. I'm going to call it when we get to the wherever we are going next." Next is Lunch, Miranda is waiting for us already. Besides it sounds like our little girl is hungry too." Mark said. So Mark, Callie, Arizona and little Sophia went to meet Miranda Bailey for lunch. Callie noticed that there was some tension as they all got out of the car, but she didn't want to dwell on it. Miranda had a booth ready and some warm water waiting for them and they all greeted her warmly. Mark quickly made the baby a bottle and got to feeding her. Miranda gave Arizona's hand a small squeeze of encouragement as she started to speak.

"Callie, when you overheard April talking to Miranda about a fight between the two of us, she was telling the truth. We did fight. Miranda gave us the odds, which was to take the baby out electively because your cardiovascular system was stressed out. Mark here didn't think that it wasn't the greatest plan. He even went so far as to say that if she died and you lived," she paused for a breath as she felt the tears falling down her face. Callie looked over at Mark with a look of pure ice,

"What did you say to her, to make her breakdown like this? Did you say something stupid like we would screw again?" Mark looked down as he passed the baby over to Arizona.

"That's exactly what I told her. Then she looked at me and told me I was basically a sperm donor and I realize now she was scared and angry about what happened to you, but what I said next was just as wrong and as stupid," he said as his own tears started falling down his face, Miranda realized that he wasn't going to be able finish because he was so overcome with emotion so she looked straight at Callie and said, "He called her nothing, but when they both busted into my OR as Lucy and Alex were working on this little one right here. That a look was exchanged between these two blubbering idiots and it was as if everything that they shouted at each other in anger was cleared up and when Arizona stated that she had a heartbeat, they both knew they needed some guidance and so the took me aside after I was done with your surgery and they worked out there differences."

Callie looked across the booth from her as she saw her best friend and her fiancée trying to stop each other from crying, and then she glanced at Miranda and Sophia and she smiled at the sweet little angel looking at all of them. She took a deep breath asked for there full and undivided attention, "This is something that I can see obviously caused the both of you much pain but I'm not going to scream or shout, but Mark if you ever call her nothing ever again, I will give you a neutering without the benefit of anesthesia. As for you I know that's how you felt about him and I need to know something from the two of you. Is this friendship true to itself or are you just putting up a front for me?"

"This is a true friendship I made them both promise me that they are to work together and they not only agreed to be friends they even put it down on paper." Miranda answered for them.

"Wait what do you mean by that?" Callie asked suddenly confused.

"When you get home, take a closer look at her name. He insisted when her Birth Certificate was due to be printed that her surname be put down as a middle name. They both came to this agreement together it was the second thing they did, as a mama and dad. The first being making sure that she had a heartbeat along with you. So now are the two of you done blubbering because here comes our food. I pre-ordered for you slow pokes as well as made sure you had a table. Now whose paying, because I sure as heck am not going to." Mark automatically reached for his wallet, and pulled out his card and handed it and the bill to the waitress.

"Miranda who are you picking up? My parents or hers?" Arizona asked as they all exited the restaurant, feeling full from the food and exhausted from the conversation at the same time. Bailey gave Arizona one of her famous looks, "oh yeah you don't know what mine look like, so that means you are picking up the Torres family. See you later Miranda and thank you for having a table and the warm water waiting." The only thing that Bailey could do was nod her head as she headed for her own car.
