WHITE WEDDING

SHE SMELLED THE BABY

CHAPTER 3

"So where are we off to now? Its already 2:15pm and my parents will be here in couple of hours, do you want to head home and take a power nap and come with me to pick them up. Or do you just want to stay home and rest? Its completely up to you." Arizona said to Callie as they strapped the car seat into place.

"You really think I'd miss the opportunity to meet your parents for the first time? I don't think so." Callie said pulling her into a quick kiss.

"Okay you two no more of that, or you aren't going to get any sleep." Mark joked as they separated and got in the car.

"Hey we actually did get some sleep last night, but what is a girl who was hospitalized for that long supposed to do? Come home and sleep some more? I was seriously sex deprived and last night was me getting it out of my system, and making sure that it all still worked. What would of happened if I got all that out while I was still in the hospital? How would of Cristina of reacted to me seriously getting my

'freak on' with Roller girl?" Callie stated innocently.

Mark and Arizona both looked at her and laughed. They got back to the apartment at 2:30. Arizona took the sleeping Sophia out of her carrier and carried her to the bedroom. Callie went to Mark's and got the sleep apnea monitor, making sure it was in the nursery before she joined her girls in her room.

"Hey," she whispered to Arizona who was already resting comfortably on her side, watching Sophia sleep beside her.

She looked up as Callie laid down beside and then she rested her forehead against Arizona shoulder. They took there hands and held them with there fingers intertwining together, each kissing the hands of the respective engagement rings that they where both were now wearing. Arizona dozed for a few until she heard a sob escape from the cuddling Callie.

"Calliope what's wrong?" she asked her lover softly. Callie opened her eyes and watched as Arizona wiped the tears from her face then she started talking softly,

"Why didn't you tell me he called you nothing? It was all I could do not to strangle him in that dang restaurant. You and her are my everything. You and she are my family. I love you from here to eternity plus one. Mark and you being friends is a good thing now. The way you two were comforting each other really touched me, but the two of you are the ones I would jump in front of a bus to save for. You aren't nothing to me, as a matter of fact you are my everything."

"Thank you Calliope, I feel the same way about the two of you as well." Arizona whispered to her, Sophia started to wake up during this talk so Arizona told Callie,

"You sleep I got this. You can take the next one. Just think we will have both sets of grandparents taking care of her, at least for a part of the next week, oh do you want me to call that place for you while you rest?"

Yeah the number is in my cell." Callie said sleepily.

"Ok I'll wake you in an hour, and then you are going to meet more of my family." she said excitedly.

"Yeah that's all I need more perkiness. Are they as perky as you are?" Callie asked mumbling into her pillow, but before Arizona could truly answer her, she heard the snore coming from beneath the pillow.

"Your mommy is tee totally tuckered out." she said to Sophia while she changed her diaper.

"You are such a good girl, I love you so much. I know that you are going to be very loved throughout your whole life. You have your godmother Cristina, she almost knocked out your daddy when she heard he had called me nothing. She has a black belt you know. You have mama, mommy and daddy who all love you to pieces. We are extremely blessed by you my child, extremely blessed indeed." she said as she leaned down and breathed in her baby scent. She actually wanted this type of a life after all, she thought. It took almost losing you both for me to figure it out, but you both are my life now and I'm going to provide for you too. I don't need the a Sangria after all, at least not right now.

What Arizona didn't notice as she was handling the baby was that Callie had heard some of what she had told Sophia. What touched her the most was when she witnessed Arizona take in the whole baby scent, and it reminded her of the same conversation that she could see replaying in her lovers head through her eyes.
