Chapter three: There's still hope

When Callie reached the door she heard feet shuffling and she taught Arizona had just received the charts. So she opened the door. She wanted to see her wife. Her amazing wife. Although Callie and Arizona were having problems Callie did not run. She wanted to be there every step of the way. She wanted to see Arizona regain her mobility. And if it meant that she had to watch from their bedroom, then she would. She wanted to see Arizona happy. She didn't want to rush her. And she sure as hell didn't want anyone to rush Arizona. Especially not Bailey.

Callie pushed her key in the lock then she opened the door. As she stepped inside their apartment she heard feet shuffling once again. When she looked up she saw it. She saw one of the most horrific sites. Arizona, her Arizona was falling. Callie ran over to Arizona as fast as she could in order to catch her. When Callie approached her she placed her left arm around her shoulder and right arm around her waist.

Callie then took Arizona and placed her on the coach. "Are you okay?" she asked with sympathetic eyes.

"I'm fine. What are you doing here?" Arizona stated coldly.

"Arizona, you're not fine. You almost fell." Callie continued.

"I said I'm fine. And I didn't fall."

"That's because I caught you. Please, Arizona talk to me. Please." Callie pushed.

"I'm fine really. Why are you here?" Arizona stated again.

"Arizona you're not fine. And I'm here because I wanted to check in on my amazing wife. So just talk to me."

Amazing she thinks I'm amazing. After all we have gone through she still thinks I'm amazing. I pushed her away and she thinks I'm amazing. Arizona taught.

"Amazing, you think I'm amazing?" Arizona asked with aspiration in her eyes.

"Yes…you are amazing. I still have hope for you."

"You do, you still have hope?"

"I do" Callie replied. "But I might start to lose hope if you don't talk to me, Arizona. I want us to back to the way we were. I want us to go back to being wifes who told each other everything. Okay?"

"Okay." Arizona complied.

"Now tell me what's wrong?" After Callie spoke Arizona sat silent. She began to think that Arizona was not going to speak. For sure she taught Arizona was going to say something after their current agreement.

"I" Arizona began after a few minutes. "I feel lonely." She stated simply.

"What?" Callie asked.

"I feel lonely" Arizona stated again, but before Callie had a chance to speak Arizona continued. "I feel lonely when you're not here. I know that I was the one pushing you away. But I feel lonely. When I'm here" Arizona stated gesturing around the living room. "I don't feel lonely when I know you're just in the room watching me walk."

"You knew I watch you walked?"

"Yea, I knew but… I did not say anything. I chose not to. I decided if I said anything you might… you might leave." As Arizona finished her statement her eyes began to welled up with tears and she blinked a few times to stop the tears from cascading down her face.

"I would never leave you, baby" Callie stated. "No matter how much crap you put me through I would never leave you. Do you hear that, I would NEVER leave you. You are my everything. You and Sofia. The both of you are my everything. Okay?"

After Callie finished speaking she realized that Arizona was crying, so she gathered Arizona in her arms.

"Thank you" Arizona stated. "I love you so much"

"I love you too. Just promise me that you wouldn't push me away again."

"I promise," Arizona complied.

Both women sat there on the couch for about five minutes in each other arms. Callie totally forgetting about going back to hospital.

"Don't you have to go back to the hospital?" Arizona asked after five more minutes.

"Yea," Callie answered. "Actually, I'm going to go back right now and ask the chief if I go home early today. Then I'm going to go and get Sofia from daycare. And then we are going to spend some time as a family."

Callie was half way out of the door before she turned around and looked at her wife.

"Arizona?" she questioned.

"Yea"

"Promise me you will be here when I get back?"

"I promise. Now go. I want to spend time together as a family."

With that Callie walked over to her wife and placed a quick kiss on her lips.

"Bye" she said "I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Bye" Arizona avowed.

Callie then returned to the front door and left. As she was walking down to the lobby she couldn't help but smile. There was still hope. Her and Arizona was meant to be and nothing could change that. Nothing.
