Chapter 11
Callie was still cursing herself for telling Arizona she loved her, why did this have to be so hard she thought to herself.
"Sofia sweetie, how about we go out and explore today I was thinking we could visit the beach and then we could go to the Seaquaruim, how does that sound?""
"Mami, what is the sea, sea, searuim?" Sofia said.
Callie laughed at the way that Sofia said Seaquaruim.
"Its kind off like the zoo but it has dolphins and whales and other sea animals and they also put on shows you can watch."
"Yay can we go now and can Pa come?"
"We will leave soon I just need to have a shower and get dressed the we will ask Pa if he would like to come with us" Callie picked up Sofia and headed down stairs to find her father to ask if he could watch Sofia while she showered once reaching the study the door was ajar she noticed her father was on the phone in deep conversation and she didn't want to interrupt him. So she went on another hunt for Roberta, finally spotting her
"Just the person I was looking for" Callie smiled.
"Who me" Roberta said looking behind herself.
"Yes you silly, can I ask a huge favour I wouldn't normally ask but could you please watch Sofia for me while I shower?"
"Um yeah sure"
"Thanks I owe you" Callie said handing Sofia over to Roberta before rushing off.
"So Miss Sofia, what would you like to do?"
"Can you please play with me in my room? Pa bought me lots and lots of toys" Sofia smiled
"You're such a lucky girl"
"Yep sure am" Sofia smiled again so proud.
Up in Sofia's room they played with Sofia's new dolls house.
"Robta, can you please read me a story?"
Roberta laughed at the way the little girl said her name.
"Sure, what do you want to read? Oh and Sofia you can call me Robbie it's a lot easier to say"
Sofia ran over to her back pack on the floor and pulled out a book and made herself comfortable on her bed then requested that Roberta needed to come sit with her.
"So what are you reading" Roberta asked.
"It's the story of us, momma makes it for me and i miss her so much reading this makes me happy" Sofia said proudly but Roberta could also see the sadness in her eyes, Sofia began to flip the pages. Roberta didn't know if she should be reading this book with Sofia it was a family thing a private thing, then Sofia quickly brought her out of her thoughts pointing to a picture of Arizona.
"This is my Momma her name is Arizona and she is so beautiful she's a doctor and works at a big hospital with Mami, Momma saves tiny humans Momma is my hero but I just miss her lots" Sofia smiled proudly.
"Your Momma is very beautiful and she sounds like a super hero" Roberta smiled.
Callie walked into the room and Roberta thought to herself wow! Callie was something she was stunning.
"What are you two up too?" Callie asked.
"I was showing Robbie our book"
"How about you put that down and let's get ready for our big day"
"Mami is taking me to the beach and the searuim"
"Wow that's exciting you're going to have so much fun" Roberta nudged Sofia.
"Mami can Robbie come too?"
"Sofia I would love to come but I can't, I've got lots of work to do for your Pa and he wouldn't be very happy if I just left but maybe next time hey."
"Come on baby up you get lets go find Pa and ask if he would like to come"
"Hey Callie can I have a quick word?" Roberta asked.
"Sure what is it? Actually hold that thought, Sofia sweetie can you quickly clean up your dolls first."
"Aww mami" Sofia sighed
"Sofia Robbin Sloan Torres, do you want to go out? I thought so know clean up the dolls please"
Callie stepped out of the room and gestured for Roberta to follow her.
"Um Callie I just want to say I wasn't trying to probe into your private life by reading that book with Sofia, but she really wanted to read it and I couldn't say no to her, I'm sorry." Roberta pleaded for forgiveness.
"Oh don't worry about it, it's ok I know how much she loves it, it's something Arizona does for her and she loves showing off her Momma and she is very hard to say no too I know that from experience but trust me it's ok" Callie said rubbing Roberta's arm, Roberta felt a spark rocket up her arm and through her body "God this woman is beautiful" she thought to herself but she knew she couldn't go there.
"Thanks Callie" She sweetly smiled.
"No thank you for watching her"
"No problem at all you should be very proud she's so adorable"
"I am and that she is and trust me she knows how to use it too" Callie laughed
Sofia came wondering out of the room "Finished Mami can we please go now"
"Well that's my queue, we better get going she can be very inpatient as well"
"I'll see guys later on for dinner, have fun" Roberta smiled and off she went.
Callie scooped her daughter up and went on search for her father she found him in his study she gentle knocked on the door.
"Come in" Carlos sung out.
"Pa, Pa Mami is taking me to the beach and then to the seatuim, can you please come?"
"The searuim?" Carlos questioned looking at his daughter.
"She means the Seaquaruim" Callie laughed.
"That's sounds like a fantastic idea, I would love to come" Carlos said picking up Sofia.
"Well come on then let's get this show on the road" Sofia laughed.
Carlos looked at Callie.
"Don't look at me, you can blame Christina for that one"
The Torres family gathered their stuff and Carlos made a quick phone call before setting off for their big day ahead.
Back in Seattle Arizona just finished her surgery and she definitely rocked it, she made her way to the coffee cart when she stopped in her tracks spotting a familiar tall blonde standing at the cart it was Lauren, Arizona decided it wasn't worth it and she wanted to be no were near that woman so she turned around and headed to the tea room she would prefer bad coffee then to speak to lauren let alone be in the same room as her.
Once getting her coffee fix she headed up to the Peds floor to do the rounds and check on her tiny humans and check on the little boy she had just down surgery on coming out of the little boys room she comes face to face with the one and only Lauren.
"Hey Arizona, I was hoping to see you around" Lauren smiled.
Arizona ignored her and walked straight past her. Lauren grabbed her arm and swung her back around so they were face to face.
"Don't touch me" Arizona spat out pulling her arm out of Laurens grasp.
"Look Arizona I really think it's about time we had that talk"
"I have nothing to say to you Lauren, it was a mistake the worst mistake of my life and it will never happen again I love Callie my wife and that's that" Arizona spat out angrily.
"But Arizona"
"Look Lauren why can't you just understand that, I don't want to her but Arizona"
Alex was standing close watching on when he decided to step in.
"I think I just heard Arizona ask you to leave her alone, so I think you need to respect her wishes and leave before I go make a formal complaint of harassment against you to Owen" Alex said.
"If you want to play like that fine I'm leaving but Arizona this is not over" Lauren said walking away blowing Arizona a kiss.
Arizona was shaking Alex wrapped her up in his arms.
"You ok" he asked
"Yeah I'm fine that woman just gets under my skin she's so full of herself and I can't believe I ruined my family for something like that but thank you Alex for coming to my rescue"
"No probs"
"Um I think I might just go to my office and catch up on paper work before I go home so if anyone needs me that's where I'll be."
"Sure thing boss, I'll catch up with you later"
Arizona made her way to her office once inside she locked the door in case Lauren decided to make another appearance, she sat down at her desk and her eyes drifted to the photo of Callie, Sofia and herself on her desk she let out a sigh
"God I miss them" she whispered to herself trying to compose herself she was sick of crying and it wasn't doing her any good she started on the huge pile of paper work.
Callie and her father were sitting on the beach watching Sofia build sand castles and collecting shells.
"So Calliope, I think we need to have a little chat" Carlos said to his daughter.
Callie sighed "Yeah I guess"
"So what's happening darling? Why are you here and Arizona is at home?"
Callie took a minute to compose herself before answering her father's question.
"Um Papa there is no nice way to put this but Arizona" she stopped again trying not to cry.
"Arizona cheated Papa"
"She what" Carlos asked again.
"She cheated with another doctor that was helping her with a special case and I couldn't stick around I had to get away and clear my head. The night I rang you I was out with Christina and I seen Arizona with Alex at the bar they were talking to another woman this woman was hitting on Arizona and she was so blind to it and I just lost it she wasn't doing anything wrong but that was the last straw so I told her we were done and I wanted a divorce. I try to hate her but I can't I love her so much It's killing me and I just don't know what to do Papa" Callie started to cry.
Carlos pulled Callie into a hug
"It's ok darling we don't have to do this know and I don't really think this is the best place to discuss this so how about we have another chat tonight when Sofia is in bed" he said kissing the top of Callie's head.
"Thank you Papa, I love you"
"I love you too mija"
"Come on let's get that little sand monster of yours and let's visit the seaquaruim, I've got a surprise for both off you"
Once at the seaquaruim Sofia ran around crazy with excitement she wanted to see everything at once but Carlos wanted to put his surprise in action, he had organised for the girls to go behind the scenes since he always made large donations to the seaquaruim it was easy for him to organise.
Walking up to the service desk Carlos asked the staff to page Steven for him, when waiting for Steven to arrive Carlos decided to let his two favourite girls know what he had planned
"I bet you are both wondering what your surprise is"
"Yes Pa I can't wait "Sofia said jumping up and down.
"We'll you don't have to wait any longer because her come the man in question."
Steven walked over to the group
"Carlos, it's nice to see you again"
"You to Steven, I would like you meet my daughter Calliope and my granddaughter Sofia"
"Nice to meet you both" Steven said shaking Callie's hand.
"So your father quickly rang me this morning and asked for a favour he asked if it was possible if he could get you all behind the scene and I agreed so if you would like to follow me I need your help feeding the dolphins and seals." Steven smiled.
"Oh my god, are you serious, that's awesome thanks Papa" Callie hugged her father then thanked Steven.
"Guess what baby we are going to help feed the dolphins and seals" Callie told Sofia.
Sofia was beyond excited now, they followed Steven and went and feed the animals. Callie took lots of photo's they were all having so much fun Sofia even got a kiss from a seal which put the biggest smile on her face. Once they had finished help out they thanked Steven and headed to the little cafe for lunch, they decided after lunch they would watch the seal show and then it was time to head home as Sofia needed a sleep soon.
"Thanks for the surprise Papa we loved it and I don't think Sofia will stop talking about it for the next week" Callie laughed.
"My pleasure darling anything for my two favourite girls and it was great to see that beautiful smile on your face again"
Alex needed to update Arizona on the progress on the little boy they had just preformed surgery on earlier, knocking on her office door Arizona was awoken from her slumber she couldn't remember falling asleep getting up she unlocked the door and let Alex in.
"Sorry boss, sorry to disturb you but I thought you would like to know Jayden is doing really well and by looking at his chart his vitals have improved which is fantastic to see" Alex smiled.
"Thank you Alex that is great news"
"Arizona look why don't you go home, I'll cover for you here and if I need you in case of an emergency I'll page you"
"Thanks Alex I really appreciate it I do need sleep"
Arizona gathered her stuff and headed to her once home the apartment she decided to stay the night there as it was close by if she was needed.
