AN: So sorry for my lack of updates this past week, I've been down and out with a nasty flu that's had me bed ridden and left me with no energy. But I'm going to try and do a few updates for you over the next couple of days to make it up to you so hopefully you enjoy the next chapter it's basically Callie and her Fathers chat it's only going to be a short chapter sorry but once I get back into the swing of things they will be a little longer. Thanks again x

Chapter 13

Callie put Sofia down and went and sat in the rocking chair in the corner of the room she sat there and watched her daughter sleep peacefully without a care in the world. She sighed getting up and made her way down stairs.

Making her way to the TV room she found her father still sitting on the lounge still watching "Finding Nemo" Callie let out a laugh.

"What's so funny?" Carlos asked.

"Nothing much other than your still sitting here watching the movie you must be getting soft in your old age" Callie joked.

"Well maybe I am but I must admit it's a pretty good movie" Carlos smiled patting the seat next to him for Callie to come over and sit next to him.

They sat in silence for a few minutes before Carlos spoke up.

"Calliope darling, what's going on in that head of yours? Because I know you are present with me but your mind is a hundred miles away say in Seattle. What's going on darling?"

"You could say that" Callie let out a sad chuckle.

"You know Calliope you can always talk to me about anything and I mean that."

"I know Papa I just don't know where to start my life is spieling out of control at the moment and I'm stuck at a crossroad" Callie sighed before continuing on.

"Well like I said at the beach Arizona cheated on me Papa, she did the unforgivable and I don't know if I can forgive, that's what my head is telling me but my heart is telling a different story I love her so much, I love her so much it hurts and it's killing me deep down inside. Then I look at Sofia and think should I make this work for her sake this is not fair on our little girl she's so innocent and if Arizona and I were to get a divorce it would break her little heart she loves Arizona sometimes I think more than me they have a special bond and it will kill her not having her Momma around and be a family like we were meant to be. I just don't know what to do anymore" Callie broke down in her father's arms.

"Sssshhh darling let it out, we will work it out together ok I promise I'm here for you no matter what Calliope" Carlos said trying to soothe his daughter.

"Calliope look at me darling" lifting up his daughters chin.

"I know what Arizona did was wrong and I'm not about to defend what she did ok because trust me I feel like getting on the phone and giving her a piece of my mind, telling her how stupid she was for doing such a thing, but have you asked Arizona why she did what she did?"

Callie shook her head.

"No we haven't really talked about it, I can't bare to have that conversation with her yet she wants to talk about it and explain herself but I keep pushing it aside I can't hear it yet I just can't"

"Well I think you need to have that conversation to get some kind of understanding her point of view but only when you're ready darling"

"I know Papa but I don't want to hear the answers just yet. Was I not good enough for her god Papa we are married we have a child together I just don't understand why, did I not show her enough love? I tried my hardest I stood by her every step of the way after the plane crash even though she treated me like shit I still stood by her. Papa she asked me not to run and I didn't but she's the one that run she ran into another woman's arms, it took her five months for her too look at me like she loved me five whole months it took for her to finally open up to me and to be interment again with me and after meeting this home wrecker she knew for only two days she ran into her arms and into bed with her. How do you think that makes me feel? It makes me feel like I failed her Papa"

"Calliope darling you are fair from a failure, don't even talk yourself down like that you are a beautiful, kind hearted, strong successful young woman and an incredible Mami to Sofia and I'm so proud of you know matter what, but it's in your hands now darling only you have the answers to the questions and what's best for Sofia and yourself if it's with or without Arizona" Carlos said before continuing.

"Can I ask you something?" Carlos asked his daughter.

"Yeah anything"

"Has Arizona had any form of counselling? Because I think she should, she's been through so much darling and this is so out of character for her and I do know deep down inside of her she does love you Calliope very much. With the conversations I've had with you on the phone before now the way you have described her moods and the phantom pains it sounds like she is suffering PTSD, she's been through hell and back with the loss of her Mother and Brother, the shooting, the car accident and the plane crash. Like I said I'm not going to make excuses for her but darling I thing she needs help, maybe this is her crying out for help to feel normal again and I know you have been there every step of the way but maybe it's out of your hands now you've tried your best but I think she needs more" Carlos said.

"I know Papa what you're saying because she's not the woman I married I see glances of the real Arizona but very far and few mostly when she's with Sofia but after the plane crash I think that was the last straw for her, that forest took her away from me from us and now I'm left with a empty shell. You know she still hasn't forgotten me yet for taking her leg, she hates me she's still so mad and I don't think she will ever forgive me but I wasn't the one that made the cut but I made the choice to cut and I broke my promise to save her leg but I had to make that choice to save her life or else she would of died and I was always going to choose her life over the leg." Callie cried

They sat in silence for a few minutes before hearing a noise coming through the baby monitor, Callie went to get up and get Sofia up but her father places his hand on her knee.

"Let me go up and get her, how about you go get some fresh air try and clear your mind for a bit, I'll watch her for a bit"

Callie wiped her tears away and let out a small smile.

"Thank you Papa, thank you for everything I love you"

"I love you too Mija" Her father said getting up and kissing the top of Callie's head before heading up stairs to get Sofia.
