Chapter 9
As it was Arizona's day off she made her way back to the hotel, she flopped herself down on the lounge she started to go through the photo's on her phone that she had taken of Sofia today at the zoo, she was so devastated she was now crying nonstop she couldn't stop herself, she hated herself as she was the only one to blame she did this to her family no one else she did it, she hated seeing Sofia so upset it broke her heart.
All of a sudden she received a text she wasn't expecting it was from Callie.
"Hey Zona, I'm sorry that it has had to come to this, it breaks my heart seeing Sofia so upset like this, but thank you for letting us go with out to much off a fuss. I really need to work out what happens next whether it's giving us another go or a divorce, there are a lot of things I need to consider when making my decision. Since the apartment is free at the moment you can stay there if you would like until we get back. Arizona whatever happens good or bad you will always have a piece of my heart. Please take care Arizona we will talk soon xxx"
Arizona read the text and re read it a few times thinking there might be hope for them, it might take time but she didn't care how long it took as long as she had her family in the end. Arizona quickly replied back.
"Calliope, thank you for the offer of letting me stay at the apartment, I know in my heart that you had to do this for yourself and you need time. I hate the idea of being away from Sofia I won't lie this is killing me and I don't know how I'm going to cope with out my two favourite girls but some were deep down inside of me I know I have to be strong even though it's so hard. I love you Calliope, I love you and Sofia more than anything in this world and I have faith we can get through this but it's in your hands now and I have to wait for you to make your decisions but saying that I also will fight for us no matter what. I look forward to hearing from my little angel. Love you now and forever A xxxxx"
Callie quickly replied with a short simple text.
"Thank you Zona, promise me you will take care of yourself"
Arizona received the text and smiled through the tears, she had hope, she had to have hope to keep herself going. Callie quickly rang her dad to let him know they were on they were just about to board and she couldn't wait to see him.
Back at the hotel Arizona was lost, she had not stopped crying she couldn't stop she didn't know what to do, she needed her family and since she had just lost her only real family in Seattle Callie and Sofia there wasn't many other family member left since she had lost her brother Timothy while he was serving for the country and she also had lost her Mom not long after Sofia's first birthday due to cancer and the only one she really had left was her Dad, if anyone could help her through this it was him he was her hero, she just hoped he would be awake due to the 3 hour time difference taking the chance she dialled his number.
"Hello" Daniel answered.
"Hey Daddy, it's me Arizona."
"Arizona darling how are you, are you alright?" he knew something was wrong her could sense there was something wrong and could hear it in her voice with the very few words she spoke.
"I'm ok daddy, I just needed to talk to you" Arizona started to cry.
"Arizona love what's the matter?"
"Everything dad I screwed up big time, I'm not the good man in the storm like you raise me to be dad, I'm a bad person and I've let you down."
"Ssshhh Arizona it's ok darling you haven't let me down, you could never let me down. Just slow down and breathe and tell me what's wrong?" Daniel told his daughter trying to calm her down.
"I lost Callie daddy and she's taken Sofia away and it's killing me."
"What do you mean you've lost Callie and now taken Sofia away?"
"Daddy I did the unforgivable now Callie wants a divorce, I cheated dad I betrayed her, I broke my wedding vowels, I cheated on the woman I would die for my soul mate my everything oh what have I done? I'm the bad man in the storm, now I'm left all alone and it's my entire fault I just want my family back." Arizona cried harder.
"I see" is all Daniel could say he was in shook.
"Arizona love listen to me ok we all make mistakes, we all have our faults but that doesn't mean you're a horrible person. You've been through so much sweetie more than anyone should have to go through but you've just hit a rough patch, but I'm sure if you give Callie time she'll come around."
"I really hope so, but I'm not too sure I think were done and dusted but it's in Callie's hands now, but I'm not going to give up on my family without a fight." Arizona told her family she couldn't give up no matter what.
Arizona and her father talked for about another hour before saying their goodbyes. Arizona was exhausted and she need sleep as she had a really important surgery tomorrow she had to perform a Neuroblastoma on a 17 month old baby, she wished she could just run and hide forever but she had little humans to save which she couldn't also let down so she decided to have a shower and retreat for the night.
Arizona was now in bed crying once more torturing herself looking through photo's on her phone once again looking at pictures of both Callie and Sofia and happy family moments they had shared and also desperately waiting for a call from Sofia, it was getting late and she knew Sofia would probably be asleep by now and why Callie hadn't rung like she promised. Arizona knew she shouldn't but she sent Callie a text.
"Hey Cal, I hope you arrived safely at your destination, I know Sofia would probably be sound asleep by now but can you please give her a goodnight kiss for me. I love you A xxx"
Callie and Sofia had just reached Miami, her father was already waiting for them in hid private car, hoping off the plane with a sleeping Sofia in her arms she spotted her father and quickly ran up to him and pulled him into a hug.
"Calliope darling, it's so good to see you and look at my granddaughter she's so beautiful and grown up so much since I seen her last." He said wrapping his arms around his daughter again.
"It's good to see you to Papa, I've missed you so much and yes this little monster has certainly grown up she's a little monster at times with a big attitude at times, she reminds me of myself when i was growing up." Callie smiled.
"Well let's get you two home it's been a long day"
While in the car Callie turned her phone back on she had a missed call from Christina which she hadn't told her she was leaving and a text from Arizona, she read Arizona's text and quickly replied
"Hey sorry we've only just arrived we had a safe trip, Sofia is asleep but I'll get her to call you in the morning on a private line so make sure you pick up. I'm turning my phone off now but like I said if it's an emergency you can contact me through my email."
Arizona received the text and sighed she cried some more before slowly falling asleep having another fitful sleep.
Arriving at the Torres estate driving up the long driveway Callie seen that not much had changed everything is still pretty much the same as she remembered. Arriving at the entrance she was greeted by one of many staff members opening her door "Good evening Ms Torres. Hoping out of the car they made their way inside with a still sleeping Sofia in her arms.
"Calliope darling why don't you go put the little one down for the night, I got the staff to set up a nursery after we finished on the phone yesterday with everything that you'll need during your stay. Roberta can you please show my daughter up to the nursery I've just quickly got to quickly check my emails and I'll be up" Carlos told his daughter and staff giving Callie a quick kiss on the side of the cheek and one for Sofia on her forehead.
"Yes Sir, Ma'am if you would like to follow me" Roberta said softly.
"Please call me Callie" she put her hand out for Roberta to shake.
"Nice to meet you Callie" Roberta said shyly smiling at Callie.
Roberta must of been new as she hadn't meet her before and her father had never mentioned her name on the phone, she still didn't understand why her parents needed all these maid working for them but over the years when growing up she got use to it but she thought Roberta was lovely as well as beautiful.
They both made their way up stair and down the hall until Roberta stopped at the door and opened up the door, well this is Miss Sofia's room and yours will be next door on the left. Thanking Roberta Callie stepped into the nursery and thought WOW!
"Oh my god Roberta this is so beautiful thank you again" hugging the beautiful Latino maid.
"My pleasure ma'am, if there is anything else you need please just let me now and I will be at your service" Roberta said before leaving the room.
Callie took in the stunning nursery, it was more then she could ever need but that was her Father he always had to go all out and have the best of the best. Callie put Sofia down on the little toddler bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead before leaning down to give her another kiss on the cheek and that one was from Momma she whispered. She made her way to the other side of the room and sat down in the rocking chair in the corner she was exhausted, she watched her daughter laying there so beautifully and sound asleep with a slight snore watching her daughter like this always made her smile.
Carlos made his way upstairs and gently knocked trying not to disturb Sofia and Callie looked up and nodded to her father to let him know it was ok to enter.
"She really is beautiful, she looks like you when you were that age" he said looking towards Sofia.
"She is beautiful and doesn't deserve what she's going through at the moment, she's my life I don't know what I would do without her" Callie said softly letting a little tear fall from her eyes.
"Come on mija, grab the baby monitor and let's have a cup of tea and chat before it time to turn in for the night."
Callie nodded and made her way over to Sofia giving her another kiss and picking up the baby monitor.
"Good night angel Mami loves you."
They made their way out gentle shutting the door trying not to disturb Sofia. Once down stairs Carlos called for Roberta.
"Roberta could you please put on a pot of tea and bring it in to the main lounge room"
"Certainly Sir won't be long" Roberta quickly set off to make the tea.
Callie and Carlos sat in silence for a bit before Carlos spoke but was interrupted by Roberta.
"Sorry Sir, I didn't mean to interrupt but your tea is ready."
"Thank you Roberta, I think it's all I need for the night so you can do whatever it is you do" Carlos smiled dismissing the maid.
"Thank you Sir and Ms Torres have a pleasant night." She smiled and went to leave before Callie stopped her.
"Roberta remember you can call me Callie save the Ms Torres for my Mother but have a goodnight" Callie smiled.
"Calliope whatever is happening between Arizona and yourself you know you can always talk to me"
"I know Papa, but to tell you the truth I'm so exhausted, I might just finish up the tea and wash up and go to bed if that's ok with you? But we will speak in the morning ok."
"Of course darling when every your ready and I know you've had a big day." Carlos smiled.
The father and daughter talked about a few other things before Callie decided she had to get some rest, they wished each other a goodnight and headed to bed.
