Chapter 10

Callie had a quick shower and got dressed in sweat pants and a singlet top she made her way to her room and flopped herself down on the bed, her thought quickly drifting to Arizona god she loved that girl so much and doesn't know what she would do without her but was she ready to trust her and forgive was she ready to put her heart on her sleeve again for it to broke all over again, maybe things would be different this time but she didn't know if she was ready or if she would be ever ready.

She laid there for almost an hour before she decided that she needed to get out of the house and go for a walk to clear her head, she quickly chucked on a light jacket and quickly checked on Sofia and then made her way down the stairs and letting herself out of the house, she headed down the garden path that lead down past the guest house and the maids quarters down to the sandy cove, once at the end of the path she noticed a lone person sitting on the sand she walked up to the person and noticed it was Roberta.

"Hey" Callie said.

"Oh hey Callie, what are you up to at this time of night wondering around by yourself?" Roberta asked.

"Couldn't sleep, what's your excuse?"

"Same here, would you like to sit?" Roberta asked patting the sand next to her.

"Yeah sure why not" Callie smiled sitting down.

They sat there in silence for a bit looking out over the moon lit water before Callie decided to speak.

"So Roberta tell me about yourself, how long have you been working for my parents?"

"Nothing much to tell really" she shrugged.

"I've come from the New Orleans and yeah probably been working for your parents for the last 4 months, they've been great I really enjoy working for the there a lovely couple but your Mom can be a hard one to crack" she laughed.

"So that's it huh" Callie smiled.

"Don't worry about Mom I know she's a tuff one and she hasn't excepted some off my life choices and still doesn't but hey what can you do, she's old and set in her ways and not willing to change" Callie said.

"So you going to share that Roberta" nodding to the bottle of tequila between Roberta's legs.

"Oh yeah sure and please call me Robbie" she smiled handing the bottle to Callie.

"So what's your story, what brings you all the way to Miami? Roberta asked Callie.

"Um my wife cheated and I had to get away and clear my head so long story short there you have it" Callie sighed taking another swig from the bottle.

"Oh I'm so sorry to hear, I'm sorry I asked"

"No that's ok you're probably going to find out sooner or later, I know how fast gossip spreads around the maids quarters" handing back the bottle back to Roberta.

"If we're going to be honest we have the same reason why we are here but the other way around, I cheated on my girlfriend and trust me it was the worst mistake of my life and I will always regret my mistake for the rest of my life but I couldn't stick around and watch my girlfriend so hurt she was hurt because of me and it killed me so yeah that's why I'm here.

"Wow" is all Callie could say.

The two sat there talking amongst themselves getting to know each other better and downing the tequila losing track off time, Callie knew it was getting late and she had to be up early for Sofia. Felling a tad just over tipsy Callie decided to call it a night.

"Well Robbie this was fun we have to do it again sometime again soon but I really should get going back to the house I reckon it's about four in the morning and my little monster will be up in a few hours and she can be pretty full on in the morning" Callie laughed.

"That's ok it's getting pretty late and my shift starts at eight but I admit this was good and defiantly up for another sessions of sitting back drowning our sorrows with a bottle so I'm totally up for it again soon but next time it's your shout" Roberta smiled and nudged Callie in the side she stood up offering her hand to help Callie up.

"Callie, if it's ok with you I would like to walk you home, you know just in case you're scared of the big bad monsters that might be out there" Roberta laughed.

"Yeah that would be nice" Callie smiled.

Once reaching the house Callie was first to speak.

"Well this is me, Robbie thank you for tonight I really appreciate it and it helped me take my mind off things if it was only for a few hours."

"My pleasure" she smiled back.

They stood there awkwardly looking at each other before Roberta spoke up.

"Goodnight Callie, I guess I'll see you in the morning" she turned to walk off.

"Goodnight Robbie and yeah I prefer my eggs scrambled" Callie smiled with a cheeky grin.

"No, I was only joking see you tomorrow, goodnight" Callie waved and made her way back into the house while Roberta made her way to the maids quarters.

Callie quickly made her way back upstairs and she quickly checked in on Sofia before brushing her teeth and flopping herself down on the bed she was tired and now slightly drunk the tequila was starting to kick in which helped her drift off to sleep.

Arizona was up bright and early she didn't have the best sleep every time she fell asleep the last few days she had a picture in her head of the night in the on call room with her and Callie arguing. She started to pack her stuff up as she was going to take up Callie's offer and go stay at the apartment as it was closer to the hospital. Arizona was packing when her phone started ring she got excited hoping it was Sofia calling but it ended up being Owen telling her she needed to come in early for a board meeting, she quickly got herself ready she would have to leave the packing for later and off she went to work she hoped Sofia would ring her before she had to go into surgery.

Callie woke up late the next morning groaning she wasn't feeling the best and had a mega head ache.

"Damn you tequila you get me again" she said out loud.

"SHIT Sofia" she thought quickly jumping out of bed quickly making her way to Sofia's room noticing the door open she looked inside and Sofia was gone she quickly made her way down stairs where she found her father and Sofia in the dining room chatting away and laughing enjoying some breakfast. Daniel looked up and noticed his daughter watching on.

"Good morning Calliope, I heard Sofia playing in her nursery so I thought I would get her up and feed for you"

"Thank you Papa" walking over to Sofia taking her of her father's lap.

"Good morning baby, you have a good sleep? Kissing her daughter on the head.

Sofia nodded giving Callie a hug.

"Mami me ring Momma now please?"

"We can baby but you finish your breakfast first and have a bath and get you dressed" Callie said before sitting Sofia back on her father's lap.

"I'm just going to grab a coffee and I'll be back"

"Sit down darling relax, I'll get Roberta to bring you one in" Carlos said.

"It's ok Papa, I can get it myself" walking towards the kitchen, she walked through the swinging doors of the kitchen to be confronted by the cute maid singing away to herself. Callie cleared her throat to make her presence known.

"Don't mind me, I just need coffee and need it now, for some reason I've got the worst hang over" Callie laughed.

"Oh I'm so sorry Callie you didn't need to see that, it's kind of embarrassing I was off in my own little world but what would you like for breakfast?"

"Someone is a little to cheery this morning after consuming almost a full bottle of tequila, but no I'm fine not all that hungry."

Picking up her coffee

"So I guess I'll see you around I've got to get back to Sofia and thanks again for last night" Callie smiled and left.

Back in Seattle everyone was gathering in the boardroom when Owen walked into the room, Arizona was feeling a little uncomfortable amongst her colleagues, surely by know the word had got around that she cheated on Callie and Callie has left taking Sofia with her for god knows how long or were they had gone.

"Thank you all for coming, firstly I would like to discuss the departure of Dr Torres, Dr Torres has decided to extend her leave but we will be replacing her for the time being with a highly regrading Ortho surgeon they will be arriving this afternoon. Owen went onto discuss a few other issues Arizona felt like she just wanted to be role up in a ball and hide I'm sure her fellow colleagues had questions the meeting was dismissed. Arizona walked up to Christina before she could leave the room.

"Christina, do you know where Callie and Sofia went? I'm desperate I need to find them please, Christina I'm begging you"

"Look Arizona I didn't even know she left until before and I tired ringing her but her phones off and even if I knew where she was even though I don't, I wouldn't tell you because Callie needs time and you owe her that, if you would excuse me I have surgery in twenty minutes so I've got to run" Christina said running off.

Arizona felt defeated and no one knew where Callie was or they just didn't want to tell her. Arizona mad her way up to the Peds floor she quickly did her rounds checking on her patients before meeting up with Alex to discuss the surgery before she had to scrub in.

Sofia was finishing of her breakfast still chatting away to her Pa.

"Hey mija, are you ready for that bath because i think your smelly" Callie joked with her daughter.

"No mami you smelly, I smell like a beautiful flower" Sofia said proudly.

"I think you smell like a beautiful flower too" Carlos piped in.

"Papa don't encourage her she gets enough off that from Arizona"

Carlos gave his daughter a knowing look.

"Yes I know Papa, we will talk later but right now I've got to get my smelly little monster up for a bath" she walked over tickling Sofia.

"Come on baby, let's go wash that smelly flower smell off you and make you smell like a rock star just like Mami then we can ring Momma"

Roberta stood in the back ground smiling at Callie and Sofia and their interaction with each other Callie was so great with her and you could see Sofia was Callie's world.

Callie bathed and dressed Sofia

"Ok my nice smelling rock star how about we ring Momma?"

"Yay Momma, I miss her so much and her kisses and cuddles" Callie sighed at that look of sadness that washed over her daughters face. Callie dialled the number and hoped Arizona picked up for Sofia's sake.

Arizona was in the middle of surgery when her phone started ringing she called over a scrub nurse.

"Ok I need you to get my phone out of my lab coat and answer it then put it on speaker close to me ok" Arizona ordered.

"Hello Arizona speaking"

"Momma, I miss you so much" the little girl said excitedly jumping up and sown on the bed.

"Awww baby I miss and love you too but Sofia baby Momma is in the middle of an important surgery ok so I have to go but I love you and I'll ask Mami to call me back soon so I can talk to you more ok I love you baby can you please put Mami on"

"I love you too we speak soon" the little girl said before handing the phone to Callie "Momma wants you"

"Hey"

"Hey Cal, sorry I'm in the middle of surgery at the moment can you please ring me back in a couple hours so I can talk to Sofia probably?"

"Um, yeah sure, good luck with the surgery I know you will kick ass" Callie said.

"Thanks Calliope talk to you later"

Just before Callie was about to hang up the phone Arizona spoke.

"Hey Cal, I love you"

"I love you too" Callie sighed hanging up the phone she didn't know whether she should of just told Arizona she loved her, she didn't want to give her false hope but it was true she did still love her.
