AN: I'd like to apologize for a late and short update, but I felt like this chapter stood best on its own to help with the movement of this story. Also I have gotten a lot of messages on whether or not Callie and Arizona are ever going to talk more about their past and the miscarriage. The answer is yes. I plan to hopefully settle all of that in the next chapter. As a writer I felt it would be boring to have them fight all in the beginning and then live on happily ever after. This is a drama and therefore these women are going to experience a roller coaster of emotions before they learn to enjoy the ride. So please be patient with me I will try not to let you all down.
Chapter 12
The pressure on Arizona's chest was making it hard to breath. She peered down to see curly raven hair and a little had twirling her blonde hair in little fingers. Arizona wrapped her hands around the little boy's body only to feel a very warm naked back.
Whispering to the little boy on her chest, "Where's your shirt Mikey?"
"I was hot so I took my pj's off?"
"Does your head still hurt?" Arizona continued to rub her handover his little back.
"A little I just feel hot," he spoke as he stared at his Mami who was still dead to the world.
Crawling over his Mama's body who groaned as little knees dug into her stomach.
"What are you doing?" Arizona asked in a hushed voice as she watched her son with a mischievous look in his eye. It reminded Arizona of Tim when he was doing something bad.
Holding a finger over his mouth to quiet his mama, Mikey leaned over to grab a lock of brown hair.
It dawned on the blonde what exactly her son was up to and soon enough Mikey was taking that lock of hair to tickle Callie's nose.
Mikey had watched his uncle Mark do this same thing to Callie whenever she had fallen asleep around him. It always made him laugh to see his Mami fighting off the tickling on her nose. Callie never woke up from this so Mikey wasn't afraid of getting in trouble.
Arizona had to quickly cover her mouth from the giggle that wanted to come out as Callie swatted at the tickling feeling on her face. Mikey had the most serious face on as he continued to move the hair under his Mami's nose.
The shaking of the bed was what caused Callie to start waking from her blissful sleep to the feel of that insistent itching. She knew very well that Mark probably taught Mikey this since he loved to do mean things to the brunette while she slept.
In a surprising move Callie grabbed at the little boy before turning over to place raspberries on the little boy's neck.
Howls of laughter filled the room and all Mikey could do was wiggle under the brunette.
"Mama…help…me," Mikey said in between each breath he took as Callie continued her assault now using long fingers to tickle at a bare stomach.
Arizona joined in by pulling the taller woman off of Mikey and holding her arms back. Mikey took advantage of his Mami who had her arms pinned behind her and wuickly jumped on her to use his own little fingers to tickle Callie.
"Pl…please…please let me go," Callie was extremely ticklish and now she was regretting her previous actions as she had no one to help her out.
"Not going to happen Calliope," Arizona said from behind her as she still held tight to the brunette's arms.
Mikey wasn't giving up and it was not often he got to beat his Mami at a wrestling match and he could hardly care that she was at a disadvantage. "Yeah Mami not going to happen," the raven haired boy could only laugh at his squirming mom.
"Mikey if you stop I promise to take you to the aquarium," Callie had no problem begging at this point especially when her bladder was protesting its usual morning call.
The little boy pulled back a little to see if there was any truth in what his Mami was saying to him, "Can we go today?"
"Nope," Arizona loosened her hold on the brunette, who took the opportunity to break free and jump off the bed and made her way to the nathroom.
"Hey Mama you let her go," Mikey threw himself back on the bed, "Why can't we go to the aquarium?"
"Your still sick little man," the blonde crawled up to lay next to her son where he laid face down with his head under a pillow, "Why are you hiding that handsome face of yours?"
Mikey turned his face away from blue eyes as he tried real hard to stay mad at her.
The brunette walked out of the bathroom with a thermometer in hand, "Open up Mikey," she leaned over the small body to get the boy to turn over so she could check his temperature. Placing the device under his tongue Callie waited patiently until a beep came signaling it was done. "Well Dr. Robbins what does this look like," the brunette asked as she held up the thermometer for Arizona to see.
"Looks like you have to stay home Mikey."
"Can both of you stay with me?" Mikey gave his best puppy dog look to his mommies hopping it would win them over.
"I'm in," Arizona said easily. There was no way she could stick around at work only to worry about her sick son.
Callie looked at the blonde with a raised eyebrow, "Arizona Robbins playing hookey I never thought I would see the day," she tried to come across teasing, but there was a lit hurt in her voice when old feelings of being abandoned by the smaller woman arose.
Arizona could see where Callie went as her eyes held sadness in them, but brushed it off as not a good time to talk about with the little boy watching them, "Well I've changed and I wouldn't want to leave my two favorite people alone."
"If that's the case then I need to call the chief to say we won't be coming in," Callie made her way to the kitchen to phone Webber.
"Yay! Come on Mama we need to get our relaxing on," Mikey jumped from the bed and ran as fast as his little legs could take him to the living room.
Arizona rolled her eyes at the little boy who was supposed to be relaxing, but instead acted as his usual self. Maybe that was the Robbins part of him always toughing out the storm and his case a cold.
#######
Three movies later and the trio was sprawled out with a bowl of popcorn on Callie's side, M&M's on Arizona's, and Mikey was holding his box of apple juice.
Mikey had his hand in the M&M bag picking out only the blue ones because those were his favorite color and he liked how his whole mouth turned blue after eating them.
Laying over his mommies lap the raven haired boy was enjoying being sick even though he still felt hot and his throat was really scratchy, but both moms allowed for him to spend the day in just his underwear.
Arizona was enjoying lounging around in her pj's, which was something she couldn't remember doing for a long time now. Although now she was really thinking they should do this more often as a family. Oh god were they family? She was sitting here in Callie's apartment playing a role that should have still been hers like they were indeed a family. Arizona had only ever wanted this when she was with Callie yet here she was attempting at some sort of a relationship with the brunette. Callie had said that she loved her so maybe it was now all in Arizona's court to make something happen between them.
The blonde could feel brown eyes watching her and looked down to see Mikey looking at her as if he had been wondering the same thing. "Mama since you slept in Mami's bed last night will you sleep there every night?"
Yep he was just as curious as the blonde was as to where his mommies stood with each other.
"Oh I'm not sure Mikey," Arizona ran her hand through thick curly hair, "Mami's a bed hog so I don't think there's much room for me."
Callie scoffed, "At least I don't talk in my sleep."
"I do not- wait did I talk in my sleep last night?" Arizona was worried that she might have said something embarrassing in her sleep. It wouldn't be the first time this had happened to the blonde either and she knew because Callie loved to tease her about all of the things she had mumbled as she slept.
"Mmm wouldn't you like to know," Callie used to love staying up after the blonde had gone to bed just to hear what would come out of that beautiful mouth of hers.
"Hey I asked a question Mama," the little boy tugged at the blue shirt his Mama was wearing.
"Sorry Mikey," Arizona looked back to waiting eyes.
"So…." He was not going to relent on this question and would wait all day until he got the answer he wanted.
Callie could see the struggle Arizona was having since they had yet to discuss what they were doing, "Hey Mikey you know how sometimes you have sleepovers with Zola," she waited for him to nod his understanding, "Okay well that's what happened last night. So Arizona will be going to her apartment because what's the rule about sleepovers?"
"I can only have a sleepover once a month and I can't stay more than one night," he huffed.
Arizona's face fell. She had really hoped they could spend more nights together and she didn't care if they were spent fully clothed.
"Plus I'm sure Arizona would rather spend her nights in her own bed without having to fight for her own space, right?" Callie looked directly at the blonde waiting for those blue eyes to meet her stare.
It felt like forever before the smaller woman looked back at her and Callie could see the battle Arizona was having with herself.
"Would you like if I slept over more often Mikey?" Arizona still held Callie's stare as she directed her question to the little boy in her lap.
"Arizona…" Callie breathed out.
Mikey was nodding his head so hard at his Mama's question, "Yes that would be awesome Mama."
They both had grins as they had yet to look away from each other from listening to their son use words he could only have gotten from long hours of hanging out with the blonde.
"Wait but Mama if you sleep in Mami's bed you have to be her girlfriend. Right Mami? Because you said only girlfriends could share beds."
"Is that right Calliope?"
"I might have said that," responded Callie.
"Mami, Mama's gonna ask you to be her girlfriend," Mikey was practically bouncing with excitement.
"Hey thanks for spoiling it Mikey," Arizona said before kissing the boy on his nose. "So Calliope I would like to keep sharing a bed with you, but I can't unless you want to be my girlfriend."
Callie was silent while Mikey and Arizona waited with big grins on their faces for an answer they hoped was the one that would bring them all back together.
