"Georgie!" Brooke yelled as she skipped down the hallway with Aria at her heals. George, who had been examining the surgical board turned around with a smile.
"Brooke." He said hugging her. "What are you doing here?"
"Physical therapy, I can almost move my arm in a full circle." She said sarcastically but George and Aria could both here the sadness that she was trying desperately to hide in her voice.
"You'll get there. I hear your doing really great." He said.
"She is!" Aria nodded enthusiastically
Brooke's face suddenly turned very sour and she shrugged her shoulders. "I still can barely move my arms above me head."
Aria kissed her on the cheek. "It's only been five months, remember what they said, it can take nearly a year to get back to full function and you're way ahead."
Brooke rolled her eyes at her girlfriend. "And then how long before I can dance like I used to? I wanted to be in a ballet company." Brooke walked off without waiting for an answer from either of them.
"She's changed." Aria sighed,
George put a comforting hand on Aria's arm, "She almost died, even though she doesn't say it, that scares her and the dancing thing scares her more. She thinks that dancing is her only option at becoming something."
"How do you know that?" Aria frowned.
"We talked a lot while she was still in the hospital."
"She doesn't talk to me about it."
George smiled. "Maybe it's because you're to close to the situation. You really shouldn't worry about it though Brooke's go it bad for you."
Aria smiled weakly. "Thanks George."

Arizona was hungry, she was starving actually and she had already been through all the left over pizza from the night before and a pint of ice cream, it seemed as though nothing would sate her hunger. Arizona was convinced that the twins were going to be the fattest babies ever with how much they forced her to eat. She was on her second pint of ice cream when the door bell rang. With a heavy sigh she attempted to get out of the recliner, once and then twice finally on the third try she was able to get up on her feet.
"Yes! Whose your daddy?" She said dancing a little. The doorbell rang again, making Arizona wonder who could possibly be at her door in the middle of the day when all of her friends and family where working at the hospital and Brooke and Aria didn't have any friends because they were attached to one another's hip.
"Look dude what ever your selling we're not buy-" Arizona trailed off when her eyes traveled over the man who was standing on the other side of the door. It was a shorter man with gray hair and gray eyes. He was balding. It was Callie's father. Standing behind him where two women, well a women and a girl. The women looked like an older version of Callie. The girl was Callie's youngest sister Korinna who was thirteen years old.
"Hi." said Arizona she shifted awkwardly looking at her feet. What the hell where they doing here? To give Callie some more grief for loving her? Giggling erupted from behind Arizona and she turned around. Brooke and Aria where at the bottom of the stairs Aria's hands where on Brooke's hips and she was going in for a kiss. Arizona coughed loudly. If Mr. Torres saw that he would freak out and take Aria back with him, breaking Brooke's heart in the process.
The two sprung apart guilty and looked toward her.
"Mama!" Aria yelled she threw herself in Mrs. Torres arms. "Oh, mama I didn't want to leave, but I couldn't stop talking to Callie."
"I know mija, I have missed you." She released her daughter and Aria grabbed Korinna.
"I miss you too, Rinna." Aria smiled as she hugged her little sister.
Aria looked tentatively at her father like she didn't know what to do, Arizona could tell she was dying to hug him and tell him that she missed him. From what Callie said Aria and Korinna had always been daddy's girls.
"Mija." He said softly.
Her arms latched around his waist and she buried her face in his chest. "Papa." She whispered. He pated her on the back gently and smoothed out her hair placing a kiss on the top of her head. She pulled away and whipped tears out of her eyes.
Arizona clapped her hands together plastering on her patented fake smile. "Anyone want some coffee or water or something."
They all nodded.
"You guys must be tried, I'll help you with your bags."
Mrs. Torres shook her head. "No, don't bother." She said gently as she lead Arizona back to the couch and made her sit down.
"Aria and Brooke will you please fix everyone something to drink?"
Both girls nodded obediently and disappeared into the kitchen. Arizona leaned back and closed her eyed tightly, her back was killing her and she really wasn't sure her patience could handle Callie's homophobic parents at the moment but they were being nice, sort of.
"I really don't want to sound rude but what are you doing here?"
Mrs. Torres laughed, Her laugh was as rich and beautiful at Callie's. "Don't worry it was very rude of us to show up here unannounced but I was afraid Callie would not have us. Korinna told us that you and my daughter where going to have a child."
Arizona nodded with a faint smile and motioned toward her swollen belly. "It should be any day now did she tell you that we are having twins?"
Mrs. Torres shook her head and reached her hand out to touch Arizona's belly but pulled it back again.
"You can if you want I don't mind everyone does it." the older women gently touched Arizona's belly.
Mr. Torres took a seat in the recliner and smiled at Arizona, it wasn't just any smile but one that seemed to say 'I'm sorry, and I'll make up for it.'
"She was broken up about you guys disowning her you know that."
Suddenly they looked ashamed of themselves. good, Arizona thought, they should be ashamed. "She cried for nights after what you did. All she ever wanted was you to love her for who she is. She deserved better from you." Arizona said looking directly at Callie's father. She closed her eyes again biting her lip at the pain in her back.
"Are you okay?" Mrs. Torres asked. What she had just said seemed to be forgotten in concern. The door opened suddenly and Addison walked in.
"Ari, I just picked up the cutest coming home out fit for the twins, your going to love it." She smiled looking up from the shopping back she was rummaging trough. "Oh, you're Callie's parents." Addison said simply. They both nodded.
"I'm Addison, Callie's best friend." She shook each of their hands.
"Ahh." Arizona gasped clutching her stomach. "I think the babies are coming." She said through strained teeth.
"Perfect timing!" Exclaimed Mrs. Torres.
Arizona didn't even attempt to keep from glaring at her.
