The next day we called Mr. Jenkins to tell him what Bernie had said. We also told him about the other things Bernie had told us such as the beatings and the neglect , things he had kept bottled up for so long. Jenkins just sounded sad and said " I hate to say it but it doesn't surprise me. Alright I'll talk to the mother and see what I can do. I will get back to you by the evening".

The whole day Arizona and I were on pins and needles waiting for Jenkin's call. Jenkins was hesitating to call them because now he knew that he could do nothing for them. He had spent two hours with the mother trying to reason with her but to no avail. He even tried talking to the counselor at the women's facility where she was being held but even that proved pointless.

So with a heavy heart he called Callie and Arizona. When he called Callie answered , he decided not to beat around the bush and started of with " She wont do it Dr. Torres . I tried everything ….. reasoning , threats but nothing worked. She wants him". I couldn't keep the frustration out of my voice while saying " Why? She doesn't even love him." He replied " She thinks she does. She was abused herself as a child. It's the only way she knows." My only response was " But she'll kill him." Jenkins knew she had a point but all he said was " Maybe or maybe not but we cant do a damn thing till she cooperates." My voice trembled as I asked " But cant we sue for custody?" " Yes , but that doesn't mean you have a chance. She is the natural mother and that does carry a lot of weight in court" Jenkins patiently tried to explain. " But look what we've done for him already. Look at the life he would have with us " I pleaded. " I know that , it makes sense to you and me but there's an element of precedence involved here. You have to convince the judge. I'll refer you the best lawyer and we'll give it our best try but please try and be realistic here. If you lose try and accept it and if you win you get the boy" he replied. At this point I was fuming and thought to myself " Is he crazy? How can he be so callous? Bernie is our son and we are his mothers and that's all that matters." He said he would speak to the lawyer he knew and would send them to the hospital tomorrow. I hung up the phone disheartened but decided not tell Ari right now. She was sleeping after a long , tiring day and I didn't want to disturb her.

The next day I was standing at the nurses station filling out charts when I saw a beautiful red head approach me. " Are you Calliope Torres " she asked with a smile. I was surprised she knew who I was but just said "Yes , I am". She offered her hand and said " I am Amy Davis, a prosecution attorney. Mr. Jenkins referred Bernie's case to me". I then realized she was the lawyer Jenkins was talking about and I shook her hand warmly. She asked if there was anywhere we could discuss the case quietly and I suggested the coffee shop. She agreed and then asked "Isnt Arizona going to be joining us?". I couldn't hide my surprise while asking " You know Arizona?". She just smiled and added " Mr. Jenkins mentioned your names while telling me about the case. As soon as I heard Arizona was involved I knew I had to help. She was a very dear friend of mine. We were roommates in college." I felt my heart drop to my stomach as I realized this was the same Amy Arizona had told me about , the woman that had broken Arizona's heart and trust by cheating on her was the same woman that could help us get our son. I didn't know how to react at this twist of fate and I was scared Arizona would get the shock of her life.

I led Amy to the coffee shop and texted Arizona asking her to join us there as soon as she was out of surgery. She sat down and said " So how long have you and Arizona been together?". I tried my best to be pleasant and answered " Six months.". She added " Are you guys happy together?" This woman was starting to irritate me and I ended up snapping out " Are we not here to discuss the case?". I saw her smirk as if she was happy she had gotten a reaction out of me. I then saw her suddenly get a huge smile on her face , I followed her gaze and saw Arizona enter the café. Amy suddenly got up and rushed to her shouting "Zony" and gave her a big hug and kiss on the cheek. Arizona just looked too shocked to react. Zony …. I normally would have thought how cute but out of Amy's mouth it sounded more disgusting than cute. Arizona finally recovered enough to choke out " Amy what are you doing here?". Amy answered with a big smile " I am the lawyer that's going to represent you in Bernie's custody case. " I decided I needed to take charge of the situation and said" Shouldn't we all sit down?". After we sat down Amy decided to ignore my presence and instead was focussed on trying to draw Arizona into a conversation. Arizona wasn't answering very enthusiastically but Amy still didn't give up and suggested they should go out for dinner and drinks to catch up. By this point I had the strong urge to hit something hard but I just choked out " So the custody case …..shouldnt we be discussing that?" Amy barely looked in my direction before answering " Lets finish our coffees first" and returned her attention to Arizona. Arizona tried to involve me in the conversation but I just gave monosyllabic answers. I normally wasn't a jealous person but this was driving me crazy and I couldn't bring myself to make small talk with a woman so blatantly flirting with my girlfriend. I felt my blood literally boiling and I decided I needed to get out of there. I mumbled something about a surgery and left though my heart sank a little when I saw Arizona's hurt expression.

I headed to the nearest on call room I could find and just sat down with my head in my hands feeling miserable. The boy who I now considered to be my son could be taken away from us and my girlfriends ex was back trying to make the moves on her. Could this day get any worse I wondered to myself .I was sitting there for about 15 minutes until I heard the door open and saw Arizona walk in looking upset. I know all this wasn't really her fault but still I snapped at her " Leave me alone Ari". She just stood her ground and said " No , you do not get to be angry Calliope. You just left me alone out there." I knew I shouldn't be fighting with her but I couldn't stop myself from saying with a roll of my eyes " Didn't want to interrupt your heart to heart with Amy." " I cant believe you are upset over this Calliope. Amy is someone who doesn't mean anything to me anymore but she is the woman that could help us get Bernie. I had to be civil for the sake of our son" Arizona retorted. " Oh you were being more than civil. How would you feel if Erica came back , went all hugs and kissy face on me and ignored your presence?" As I saw Arizona's face fall and her eyes start to fill with tears I realized I may have gone too far but it was too late to take it back now. She spoke in the softest whimper I had ever heard " Do you trust me Calliope? We are trying to build a family together and what kind of family will we have if you cant even trust me. You are the love of my life Calliope and I trust you and need you and if Erica were to come back I would be civil to her for your sake especially if she was the person who could help us get our son.". I didn't know how to react to that. She continued " Are you really ready for a life with Bernie and me because if you were you would have put our son before your anger . In these six months Calliope I have done everything I could to prove to you that you are the one for me but you still expect me to bolt . What else do I have to do to earn your trust?" she cried with tears rolling down her cheeks. I felt horrible now but before I could say anything she continued " I am in this relationship 100% but I need you to need me back" and with that she ran out of the room. I felt the worst I had ever felt in my life. I had hurt the one person who truly loved me and wanted to build a future with me. I just knew that I needed Arizona more than I had ever needed anything in my life and it was time to swallow my pride and show her just how much.

I headed to Arizona's office knowing I would find her there. I walked in and locked the door. I saw her crying at her desk and my heart constricted with pain knowing it was me that had caused those tears to swim in those beautiful blue eyes. She looked up at me and just said " Calliope not now". I just walked up to her and silenced her by placing a finger on her lips. " I need you. I need you so much and I'm sorry that I never told you that enough. I know I behaved like an idiot today but the thought of losing you and Bernie made me crazy. You two complete me . You are the only family I ever need. I know I set up high walls and sometimes push you away but you broke through my defences. You brought me back to life and you are the love of my life. I am bad with words so I am just going to show you how much I need you" I told her hoping that she would feel the truth of every word I spoke.

I deftly shifted Arizona onto her back lying on her desk and found myself above her, one arm holding myself up, one arm finding its way to the side of Arizona's face. I gazed down at her, and in that moment I felt like I was seeing her again for the first time. 'God she is so beautiful.' was my only thought. Her milky complexion, her perfectly shaped lips, her slender nose and her perfectly shaped eyebrows and those adorable dimples.

All I knew is I needed to feel all of her right now. I swiftly removed her scrub top I let my hands travel up and I cupped Arizona's breast through her bra. I was slowly driving Arizona crazy. My hands traveled south where I started rubbing Arizona through her pants. Arizona's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she threw her head back. She grabbed my head and pulled me in for a passionate kiss. Our tongues began fighting for dominance. I began rubbing Ari harder and her eyes shot open. It was then that she remembers that we were on her office desk. She reached down and grabbed my wrist to stop me , but it just felt too good. I just whispered "You don't really want me to stop…do you?" .Ari tried to stop me again, but I just replied, in a sexy voice…" You're going to lose". Arizona loved it when I took control, and she surrendered to my touch. She closed her eyes and let her head fall back against my arm. I swiftly removed her scrub pants . She let out a breathy chuckle "We're really gonna do this here?". I chuckled back and said "Yeah. Why not?". She just smiled and said "Ok." At that I put my hand inside her panties and slowly started circling her clit. She was drenched, and definitely ready. As soon as she felt my touch she let out a loud moan. I quickly thrust a finger inside of her . and then added a second finger and started a steady rhythm. I kept the rhythm up until I felt her start to tighten. I was pulled in for a heated kiss as I curled my fingers . Ari let out a scream and threw her head back as she exploded all over my fingers. I just held her tight as she came down from her high. I pulled my hand out and licked my fingers clean.

A while later as we were cuddled together on her office couch I suddenly remarked " We need to get you a new laptop because your old one was a casualty of us not behaving ourselves". I pointed towards the laptop which was laying broken on the floor as it had got swiped off the desk when I was lifting Ari onto it. We both just burst out laughing at the sight. I then cheekily remarked " So when are you having dinner with Amy?". Ari just gave me a glazed look and said " Amy , who?". I proudly smirked and said " Mission accomplished". Ari then told me that she had told Amy in no uncertain terms that she loved me and that Amy had to respect that or they would find another lawyer. Upon hearing that I couldn't keep the grin of my face.

We however decided to invite Amy for dinner the next day to discuss the case as keeping Bernie with us was our number one priority and we would do anything to make sure we kept our son safe with us.

Reviews would be most appreciated. Thank you
