Chapter 5

Arizona's POV

Wake up, go to work, perform surgeries, sign off on charts, and sleep. This was all Arizona had done for the past week since the kiss she shared with Callie. That kiss had made her feel like she was soaring and like the past five years never existed for her. After the kiss she had tried to search for the Latina but she figured very quickly that her ex-wife did not want to see her.

She had just scrubbed out of a routine surgery and could feel her body on autopilot take her down the halls of Seattle Grace Mercy West. It wasn't until she was standing in front of the hospitals daycare that the blonde realized where she had stopped. Arizona felt like a stalker for watching the Latina's child play with the other children, but he reminded her so much of Calliope.

"Mikey looks just like her huh? He even has her fiery temper but he also loves just like her." The gray haired plastic surgeon had seen the blonde surgeon make her way down here and wanted to see how she was doing. Especially, after he had held the ortho surgeon while she used his shoulder to cry on.

Her smile grew as the little boy started laughing along with the other kids, "He's everything I would have imagined her children to look like."

"So you and Callie knew each other before for coming here right? Because I can't get a word out of her other than 'kiss' and 'PEDs surgeon.' Also as her friend I'm here to say if you hurt her I'll hurt you." Mark liked the new blonde woman she was nice and easy to talk to unlike another blonde woman he knew.

"Uh I don't know you well enough to talk about Calliope, Dr. Sloan and I'm sure you would know who I am if Callie wanted you to." It was her time to leave the man behind before he really started to grill her.

"You know she tells Mikey all about you," he knew that would stop the woman in her tracks, "not by name though. You're that kid's super hero. I would know because I've been there to hear some of these stories, Cal tells him, about a blonde woman who saves kids. Weird right? But then you came along stirring up all these feelings in my friend and it all made sense that she still cares about you."

That small statement made her heart soar, but where exactly did that leave her. Because really she was just some fictional character to her ex's son. Although she did feel there had to be something positive in all that if Callie still talked about her.

With that information she turned back to address the man, "Thank you Dr. Sloan."

#######

By the end of her shift the PEDs surgeon was completely drained as she made her way to the locker room to change back into her street clothes. The conversation she had with Mark left her both hopeful and confused on her future with the brunette. She wanted to talk with the woman but how was she supposed to get her to sit down when every time the blonde entered the same space as her, Callie would flee.

She hadn't noticed there was anyone in the locker room until she could hear raised voices behind a row of lockers. Not wanting to go noticed she stood quietly by the doors unsure of whether to step out or just wait until whoever it was left.

"Cal I want you to tell me who this damn Arizona chick is to you because if I have to hear about you two again by some chatty nurse we are done. Do you understand that? Because I can't keep waiting on you to be ready for me. I asked you and the kid to move in with me a week ago and I have yet to receive an answer."

Erica was growing tired of Callie's distance, but if she was honest she also felt threatened by the new surgeon. It was obvious that Arizona was unmistakably beautiful and a lot more liked than she was in this hospital. And the thought that this woman could sweep in and steal the first woman she had ever loved and fallen for scared her to no end. Callie had been sweet to the cardio surgeon when she admitted to finding the Latina attractive. She had watched Callie go on many dates throughout their friendship and realized this sickening feeling she would get was jealousy. Erica hardly got jealous over what others had but she was jealous of those women who got to be with the ortho surgeon. Now a year later she felt like this was it and felt her last resort to keep the woman was to threaten her with leaving.

"Why would I want to move in with you when you can't even say my son's name without making a face," the brunette had had enough of Erica's insecurities. The blonde hardly allowed her to hang out with Mark because he was always flirting with her and if another woman even batted an eye at the surgeon she was accused of cheating.

"I don't make a face I like your kid Cal, he just doesn't like me and there is nothing I could do to fix that," the cardio surgeon knew she was lying and just hoped that her and Mikey could both continue to avoid each other.

Callie scoffed at the other woman, "Actually yeah there is. You can start by addressing him by his name since he does have one and maybe not ignore him when he enters the same room as you. And the reason he doesn't like you is because from day one you have chosen not to like him."

"Well how am I supposed to like a kid that's not even mine? He's cute I give him that much, but I think you're asking too much of me," replied the blonde.

Standing up so she could look her in the face Callie shouted, "Because I'm your girlfriend and I will not take this shit from you right now. I think you need to leave," sitting down to put her boots on Callie looked back up, "please don't come to my apartment tonight. I'll see you tomorrow but I would like to be with Mikey tonight."

Erica really hoped she hadn't pushed her girlfriend too far and knew it was best just to leave without a word. As she was exiting the locker room she could see the woman who was ruining her life and shoulder checked her as she exited the room.

The smaller blonde could hear a muffled cry from the back of the room and went to go investigate. Sitting on the bench with her face in her hands, Arizona felt her heart break for the brunette who was in obvious pain.

She sat cautiously next to Callie before placing an arm around the taller woman. Arizona felt the ortho surgeon stiffen before relaxing in the familiar embrace.

"Arizona I can't do this. Be in the same room without wanting to kiss you. It's all I've wanted since the last one and Erica deserves someone who won't cheat on her," Callie could still feel that kiss on her lips.

"I can't stop you from what you want Calliope, but I won't be the woman who makes you feel guilty in your relationship either," before Arizona could finish her explanation Callie captured pink lips in a frenzied kiss.

Arizona could feel herself being pulled flushed against the other woman on the metal bench. She wanted nothing more to kiss the brunette, but not like this. She pulled back to look into brown eyes before Callie whispered, "Please," she couldn't deny the woman's plea.

This time when she leaned in to kiss the Latina it was slow and soft. It was a memorized dance between the two women. The feel of Callie's mouth on hers was unlike anything she had experienced before. The brunette's touch always caused her to tingle all over. And this was no different like every other time. She could feel the taller woman running her tongue along her bottom lip seeking entrance that she easily allowed. Callie's tongue against her own was like velvet and caused her to moan loudly at the sensation. Arizona rested her hand on a warm thigh running it up the side of the brunette to take a hold of the woman's hip. She was about to pull herself on top of the other woman when the door was thrown open and they could hear someone coming in.

As they quickly pulled apart both women tried to right their clothing and control their labored breathing.

"Hey Cal you in here? Mikey escaped again and I figured since your shift is over I'd bring him to you," rounding the corner Mark made his presence known to the two women, "Mikey look I found your Mami. Oh hey Arizona."

Clearing her throat Arizona spoke as she could see Callie was clearly void of talking as she tried to make herself look busy fixing her make-up, "Um Mark it's good to see you."

When Mikey heard the PEDs surgeon's name he rounded the corner, "Hey good lookin,'" he addressed the blonde.

Both women laughed at the boy's greeting. "Mijo I think you've been hanging out with Mark too much, because you sure didn't learn to talk to women like that from me."

"If I was teaching Mikey how to flirt he would have women lining up for him," Mark prided himself on being a ladies man.

"I'm actually sure that is your line Mark, because if I'm not mistaken that's exactly what you said to me," said the blonde with a chuckle as he turned red with embarrassment.

After the laughter had died down Mikey looked to his mom, "Can we invite Airzona to game night Mami," the silence in the room was thick as everyone waited for the Latina to answer.

"Well why don't you ask mijo and see if Dr. Robbins is free Friday night."

Looking back to the blonde he asked, "Airzona can you come to game night with me and Mami. It's at Zola's house."

When the PEDs surgeon looked at the other adults in the room Mark had a grin on his face from ear to ear while Callie gave a small nod of approval.

"If I'm free Friday night I'd love to come with you to game night Mikey."

The small boy jumped from the bench to do a victory dance, "Yes! You can be on my team because Mami's not that good," explained the boy.

Scoffing the Latina cut in, "That's because there are always awful games and the objectives are hardly worth trying for," explained the Latina.

"Well if that's the case I'd like to be on your team so we can kick your Mami's butt," Arizona felt giddy that she would be included into their life even if it was a small moment.

Giggling the boy spoke, "You said butt."

His care free spirit was a great change for the stress the two women had been experiencing for the past month.

"Okay well I need to put your butt into bed because it is well past your bedtime," Callie was enjoying how natural this all felt to be with her son and the blonde in the same room joking with one another.

"But I don't want to. I'm not even that sleepy," as he explained through a yawn.

"Sure you aren't," the ortho surgeon looked to Arizona, "I have to go now, but we'll talk later okay?"

Nodding her head in approval the Torres pair went on their way.

"Do I even want to know what I walked into a minute ago," he didn't ask in a condescending tone he was more curious as to what this meant for his friend.

"I should be heading home too. Early day tomorrow. Have a good night Dr. Sloan," the blonde quickly grabbed her things without switching out of her scrubs to escape the plastic's surgeon.

#######

Friday had come quickly and much too Arizona's dismay she had to work the night shifts to get her Friday night off for game night. Callie had bumped into her after a surgery and told the blonde to meet them in the lobby by 7:30 and they could all ride to the Grey-Shepard home.

It was 7:10 when Arizona couldn't contain her excitement about her plans for the night so she had called it an early work day. Now a minute from the time she agreed to meet Callie, she saw her and Mikey make their way towards her. But next to the pair was none other than Erica Hahn. She hadn't even thought about the other woman tagging along since this seemed like something fun and the cardio surgeon did not scream fun.

Mikey let go of his mom's hand to greet his blonde friend, "You made it," he said as he wrapped his small chubby arms around her waist.

"I wouldn't stand you up Mikey. I promised to be your partner, remember?"

Nodding his head that he remembered her promise, "Come on let's bounce. I want to get a strawberry Capri sun before Mark drinks them all," he quickly grabbed the blonde's hand and dragged her to the exit.

Callie came up beside the smaller blonde with Erica attached to her hand on the other side, "Hey Arizona, thanks for doing this. Mikey hasn't been able to stop talking about tonight."

"It's not that big deal. This little man is worth giving up a night of staying in and eating take out for the fourth Friday in a row," the blonde ran her free hand through his curly raven hair as she spoke to the brunette.

"Well that's depressing," chimed in the cardio surgeon, "You would think a grown woman like yourself would be out dating or hanging with people her own age instead of going to family orientated activities." Erica hoped that the smaller blonde would get the hint and see she wasn't wanted.

"Erica don't, Mikey and I both want Arizona here," Callie quickly squeezed the PEDs surgeons hand to assure her.

Grumbling under her breath the group made their way to the Latinas car.

The car ride was filled with Mikey's chatter about his day at the hospital while the adults kept quiet as they listened to his stories and offered a few comments every now and then.

Once they entered the neuro surgeons spacious home, located in one of Washington's finest woods, they could see all of SGMW's surgeons were already there.

Mikey took off to play with Zola and Little Tuck.

Meredith and Derek made their way to greet their new guests, "Dr. Robbins it's good to see you," said Derek as he leaned to kiss her on the cheek.

"Where outside of the hospital so you can call me Arizona," with a dimpled smile she offered a greeting to Meredith.

"Well Arizona, you are in for a good time we're playing Charade's," Derek had lucked out when his vote to play Monopoly for the third time was vetoed by everyone.

"Yay!" "You've got to be kidding me," came from the two blondes. This was Erica's first time ever coming to game night and she only decided to step up because Mikey had mentioned that the PEDs surgeon was joining. She wasn't sure what was going on but the cardio surgeon needed to be around and nip it in the bud before it ruined her relationship.

Callie chuckled at the excitement Arizona was showing. The smaller blonde always loved games and really was a kid at heart.

After everyone went around saying hello the surgeons and three kids gathered into the living room to start the game.

Lexie was in charge since she had decided to suggest Charade's, "Alright everyone let's get started. We will be splitting into two groups," addressing the two youngest in the group, "Mikey and Zola you guys get to choose teams."

Mikey started, "Airzona," he received a dimpled smile from the PEDs surgeon and a whine from his mother.

Then Zola followed, "Mama."

It continued with the same back and forth until finally the groups were complete. Mikey's team consisted of Arizona, Teddy, Owen, April, Derek, Ben, and Jackson. Zola's team was made up of Meredith, Cristina, Callie, Erica, Miranda, Alex, and Mark. Cristina took it upon herself to name their group the 'Badass MoFo's' and both Mikey and Arizona came up with 'Super Awesome.'

With the teams made up the game began. April was the first to pick the slip of piece of paper and the first category was movies. She held one finger up signaling that the title of the movie was made up of one word. The red head pointed to her teeth and then bent over with her hand raised like a fin on her back.

It was quiet for a moment until a slew of words were thrown out while April continued to repeat her actions. The timer was running out when Jackson finally yelled, "Jaws!"

"Oh thank God. Seriously how couldn't any of you get that one," April looked at her group for an explanation.

Teddy spoke up, "The whole bending over threw me off I thought you were referring to someone in geriatrics."

Cristina stood up to take over the game, "Let me show you how to play this game bitches…"

"Cristina! There are children here," Callie shouted.

"What? You have the worst mouth especially in the bedroom," she smirked when Callie sheepishly looked away and noticed Erica grin at the truthfulness of that statement. But she couldn't understand why Arizona had her mouth wide open and a flash of jealousy across her face.

Shaking her head Arizona could see that her glaring towards the other blonde caused everyone's eyes turn to her, "I forgot I'm on call in the morning so I should head out. Thanks again for inviting me. I'll see you later little man," she kissed Mikey on top of his curly head before grabbing her bag and coat to leave the house.

It wasn't until she was halfway down the block when she realized that she kissed the little boy's head like it was the most natural thing in the world. She wished that hearing about Callie's sex life wouldn't have bothered her so much, but she knew what it was like to be with the brunette and the idea that she's been with anyone other than her sucked. The blonde knew she had no right to be mad at the other woman especially since she had made her way around the rounds of women at Hopkins after the divorce. Yeah she was not going to be angry.

#######

Saturday was starting to drag for Arizona all of her surgeries had been pushed back due to an MVC and now she was catching a late lunch. She was chewing on a carrot when she saw Teddy make her way towards her.

"You missed out we won last night it was great, but it took a while for Cal to get Mikey to stop crying though. Oh hey don't look sad I'm sure the next time Mikey sees you all would be forgotten," she tried to convince the smaller blonde that everything would be okay.

"I didn't mean to walk out on you guys it's just… I don't know. Okay when I came here I thought that I could escape my past but next thing I know I'm confronted by it in my work place," she had never opened up to anyone here about Callie and had no clue what she was doing until she looked at the confused look on the cardio surgeons face.

"Wait, who here is from your past. Oh my God it's Callie the gossip was true. Arizona why haven't you told me? I complain about my dating problems all the time and here you are bumping into your ex. She's the ex-wife you were telling me about right?"

She slumped her shoulders at hearing Callie be referred as her ex-wife. It was something she never liked to acknowledge. "Yeah Callie was the one and I'm pretty sure will always be the one for me."

"Arizona, why don't you tell me about it? I'm sure there has been no one to listen to you when you needed someone. I'm here and …"

"No, I had my brother and he helped me get out of my house in the beginning, but then he was killed in a fucking war…"

"Oh, Arizona I'm so sorry…'

The PEDs surgeon shrugged, "I've accepted my life for what's become. You know I'm not drunk to keep talking like this," laughing they both tried to sober up from their somber conversation.

"Crap act like we're deep in conversation because Callie is coming," she loudly whispered to Arizona.

But instead of faking being busy Arizona looked up to the Latina who was making her way to their table. Teddy could see the dopey smiles take over both women's face when they saw each other.

"Hey could I join you ladies?" Callie was waiting for an answer but all Arizona could do was stare.

Teddy stood up from the table, "Here take my spot Cal I've got charts to do. See you all later." When she was behind Callie she stuck her hand up to her face signaling that the blonde call her.

She nodded her head before looking back to the ortho surgeon, "Calliope, I'm sorry about last night I didn't mean to upset Mikey."

"Well if you want to make it up to us you can come over to my place for dinner. I'm cooking and I know you probably hadn't had a home cooked meal in a while. So what do you say?" she gave Arizona a hopeful look.

"Um…hmm well I'd like to but I'm sure Erica wouldn't like me to be there."

"I'm sure she won't like it either but she's working tonight so she won't know. Plus she's not my mom. I want you there and Mikey he wants you to be there," the Latina was pretty sure she wanted the blonde there more than her son.

Thinking it over Arizona knew it probably wasn't a good idea to go behind Erica's back, but you know what screw what the cardio surgeon thought Arizona wanted a night with Callie and Mikey.

"I'd love to Calliope," the blonde was excited to have a night with the two, but now she was starting to feel hesitant of getting too close to mom and son because she couldn't stand losing both of them.
