A/N I apologize in the time it took me to update this fic. I've gone though a lot in the past month and it was hard to get motivated into writing a happy story when I myself was not. My father suddenly passed away on Aug. 6th of a massive heart attack. It was unexpected and a shock to us all. I hope that I did my story justice because writing it was so hard.

Cradling her newborn daughter was no doubt the best feeling in the world. Callie sat in Arizona's private room, tracing the tiny girls' features as her wife slept. She pulled the pink cap from her head and grinned at the amount of hair on her head. She ran her fingers through the black strands and then leaned over and took in a deep breath. She loved the way she smelled. She couldn't believe she was finally here after the months of waiting. She now couldn't imagine her life without her. Emilee opened up her eyes and looked up at her mother with big brown eyes. Callie smiled and gently touched her cheek.

"Hey there, sweetie." she cooed softly. Emilee opened her mouth and yawned widely then began to cry. Callie lifted her to her shoulder to try to comfort her. Arizona stirred a bit, opening her eyes.

"Is she okay?" she asked, groggily. Callie stood and walked over to the bed. "I think she's hungry, and I unfortunately can't help with that." she said with a grin. Arizona nodded and sat up, wincing a bit.

"Question is, are you okay?" Callie asked, as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a bit sore." she said and reached behind her to untie the back of her gown. Callie placed crying infant in her arms. Arizona placed her to her breast and coaxed Emilee to latch on.

"Come on, baby girl." she said sweetly. She tried a few more times and Emilee got the idea and latched on to her and began to nurse. Callie gasped in awe as she watched them. Arizona lifted her head and looked up at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing at all. It's perfect. You nursing her is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." she said and pushed back her blond hair. Arizona smiled brightly and leaned over to kiss her softly. As she pulled away she turned her attention back to their nursing daughter. Callie felt a warm tear fall from her eye and quickly reached up to wipe it away.

"Baby, I'm going to head to the cafeteria. Is there anything I can get you?" she asked as she got up from the bed. Arizona looked up at her and smiled.

"I would love something to eat." Callie nodded and kissed her forehead.

"I'll be back in a bit. Do you want me to call the nurse to come get her after she's finished?"

"No, I want her to stay in here. Just pull her bassinet over to the bed. I'm not really ready to get out of the bed yet. I'm still really sore." she said and continued to watch over Emiliee.

"Okay baby. I'll be right back." she said and left the room. As she entered the hall, she displayed the biggest smile she'd ever achieved. Her friends and co-workers had left messages and notes on the door. It made her smile even larger. She turned down the hallway and walked to the cafeteria, her head held high. She felt like she was on cloud nine. The small image of her daughter's sweet face was burned into her mind and nothing could bring her down. Not watching what she was doing, she nearly ran over a nurse carrying a envelope and a gift bag.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said and helped her straighten up.

"It's okay, Dr. Torres. I was just on my way to deliver these to you. It just arrived."

"Oh, well you can take them to the room. I'm sure Arizona is still awake."

"Um, these are addressed specifically to you."

"Oh." she muttered and took them from her. She looked at the hand writing on the front. She would recognize that handwriting anywhere. Turning it over with shaky hands, she ripped open the top.

Callie,

First let me congratulate you on your relationship with Dr. Robbins and the birth of your daughter. I'm sure she's beautiful. I know you're probably wondering how I even knew about them. Please forgive me, but I asked that Richard keep me informed on how you were doing. I was so worried about how I left you and I know that no matter what I do, I could never be worthy of your forgiveness. I shouldn't have expected so much from you and I forgive you for everything. You had the right to defend the hospital, it's your career. I know that if I had reported it, you and everyone you hold dear would have lost their jobs. I have missed you, Callie. I had the chance to see you a few months ago. I saw you with her. You looked happy. I asked Richard about her and he explained that the two of you were happy together and that you were expecting a little girl. I asked that he tell me when she was born, so I could send my congratulations. You deserve all the happiness in the world, Callie. I just wish I could have been the one who put the smile on your face. I hope you remain as happy as when I last saw you. I'm working at Cedars-Sinai in LA. I hope that one day we will be able to see each other once again. I would love to see you.

Sincerely,

Erica Hahn

Callie closed the letter, that now was stained with a few tears drops. She hadn't realized she'd begun to cry. She hadn't heard from Erica since she left. She was right, she had hurt her when she left. She wanted to be angry for Erica's keeping tabs on her but, her heart was telling her that she cared enough to worry. She folded it small enough to put into her back pocket and reached into the bag. She grinned widely at it's contents and the card attached. Never too soon to start! She held up the tiny pair of blue scrubs and smiled at the SGH that Erica had had embroided on the top. She put them back in the back and continued to the cafeteria.

When she walked in she sighed at the line. This was going to take longer than she thought. She was sure Arizona would be asleep when she got back. It disappointed her a bit, but she understood. She just hoped that they wouldn't take Emilie back to the nursery. Callie stepped into the line and hummed a little as she waited.

"Hey!" she heard from the person behind her. She turned around and smiled at her best friend. She wrapped her arms around the neck of Mark Sloan and hugged him tightly.

"Hey. How's the work today?"

"Only you would ask that after the birth of her daughter. You work too much."

"I'm not working, am I? I was simply making conversation."

"Yeah, yeah. How's the new mommy?"

"She's sore and tired."

"I was asking about you."

"Oh! Sorry. I'm wonderful. It's amazing, Mark. I've never been this happy in my life. She's this perfect little person, and she's mine." Mark smiled brightly and chuckled a bit.

"What's so funny?" she asked, slightly confused.

"Nothing, you should see yourself."

"Why?"

"You look like a kid on Christmas morning."

"This is so better than Christmas morning. It's like Christmas, Halloween, birthdays and Easter all wrapped up into one."

"Halloween and Easter?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.

"They were my favorite holidays growing up. Besides Christmas."

"Um okay?"

"Mom went all out for both. Easter is a big thing to Catholics, and mom just loved Halloween. She liked to spoil the kids with the decorations and candy. It was the only time I was the cool kid because everyone wanted to come over to play because of all the sweets and goodies."

"Well, I don't think you have that problem anymore. You're going to be the cool mom."

"I don't know about that, but we'll see." she said and reached over to grab a turkey sandwich plate for her self and a salad for Arizona. She took a few bottles of water and a milk and set off to pay. She greeted the cashier with a smile and gave her the money for the food.

"I have to go back to Arizona. I promised I wouldn't be gone long. You should come by. Emilie really is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen." she said kissed his cheek.

"I definitely will. You guys need some alone time for a bit."

"Thank you, Mark." she said and walked off to the maternity ward.

As she turned the corner she could hear a laboring mom in the room right across from the nurses station and the sounds of crying infants. She walked down the corridor to Arizona's suite, which was not far from the nursery. Glancing into the glass clad nursery she noticed that Emilie's bassinet was in the front and empty. "Hmm, she must still be with Arizona." she muttered softly and looked up to the back of the room. There she saw as the nurse was handing her daughter to someone who had their back turned to the window. Callie stopped and tapped on the window. The tall figure turned around and Callie dropped everything she was holding.

"Daddy?"
