Chapter 14

Callie made her way down the garden path that leads her to the sandy cove that she always use to come to when she was younger to clear her head and quite recently she visited when she arrived to Miami on her first night getting drunk with a complete stranger that she only briefly meet that being Roberta. Sitting down on the sand she let out a sigh and the tears began to fall again she was sick of crying but that's all she could do at the moment, the chat with her father stirred up a lot of different emotions, feelings and thoughts.

Arizona was still on the lounge downing the wine, tissues scatted were everywhere she was in the same position as Callie and couldn't stop crying but she knew it was all her fault she was the only one to blame. She heard a knock on the door which she chose to ignore but then came another knock.

"Open up Robbins I know you're in there" she heard Alex sing out.

Getting up quickly discarding the tissues she yelled back.

"I'm coming just stop banging on my door"

Unlocking the door Alex walked in holding a six pack of beer and a pizza.

"What are you doing here Alex? Haven't you got something else you rather be doing then spending your night with a sad and sorry person like myself" Arizona questioned.

"Um" Alex said before continuing

"You invited me over remember, I was going to help you collect your stuff from the hotel to bring back here and i thought we could have pizza and a few beers and just hang out"

"Oh shit" Arizona said hitting her hand against her head.

"I totally forgot sorry my mind is in another world, sorry Alex but can we make another time for that because I don't feel like leaving the apartment tonight looking like this" pointing to herself.

"It's cool I understand it's you paying for that hotel not me so I guess it's up to you but since I'm here now with beer and pizza lets enjoy yeah" Alex asked being hopeful.

"Um Alex I just" Arizona started to say before Alex cut her off.

"I know you don't feel like it but as I can see you've already started the party" pointing to the wine bottle on the table.

"But you need to eat Zona, I know you probably have been living on coffee and coffee alone and maybe some wine but you have to eat something because I can't have my awesome boss fading away on me because that would suck big time" then he paused

"Did I just use the word awesome? I did, didn't I?"

Arizona nodded her head giving a small smile

"God maybe I should leave because using words like awesome you will have me saying super next and I don't think I can handle that. I think I hang around you too much" Alex laughed causing Arizona to let out a small chuckle

"You're such a moron" Arizona said shaking her head.

"Maybe I am but this moron is telling you need to sit relax grab a beer and eat I even ordered your favourite" Alex said hoping he would get Arizona to eat something.

An hour had passed since Callie had left the house and Sofia was starting to wonder where her Mami was.

"Pa pa where's Mami?"

"Mami just went for a walk beautiful"

"I want her and miss her already" Sofia pouted.

"I'm sure will be back soon sweetie"

"But I want her know" she pouted again.

"I know sweetie she'll be back soon she just needed some Mami time" Carlos told his granddaughter then he spotted Roberta walking past in the corner of his eye.

"Roberta, could you please come here for a minute?"

"Yes Sir, how can I assist you?"

"I've got an important business call to make in twenty minutes and this little Miss here is requesting her Mothers presence, do you think you could go find Calliope for me?"

"Certainly Sir, I have an idea where she might be"" Roberta smiled.

"Thank you Roberta" Carlos smiled.

"My pleasure Sir"

Roberta made her way out of the house and down the garden path hoping Callie would be down in the cove reaching the end of the path she spotted Callie sitting slouched over in a world of her own staring across the water. She made her way over to Callie and put a comforting hand on Callie's shoulder breaking Callie out of her daze. Callie quickly wiped away her tears and looked up with red swollen eyes.

"Hey, mind if I sit?"

"Oh hey, go ahead"

"I'm not going to ask if you're ok because I can obviously see that you not but if you need to talk I'm here for you" Roberta smiled rubbing her hand on Callie's back.

"Thanks" Callie said putting on a brave smile.

"But its ok not much to talk about really, plus I've done more talking then I can handle today. It's just talking to my Father before just stirred up a lot of feeling, emotions and thoughts and I just needed time out."

Roberta still was rubbing Callie's back in the process.

"It's ok I understand but remember I know we don't know each other well but if you need to talk or need anything at all I'm here for you"

Callie nodded and turned her attention back to the water.

"Um the reason I'm here is your Father wanted me to come find you as he has got an important call he needs to make very soon and Sofia has been asking for you and dinner will be ready very soon."

"Ok thanks" Callie replied.

Roberta got up and brushed off the sand before offering her hand out to Callie to help her up, Callie accepted her hand getting to her feet when Roberta dragged her in for a hug, she knew she probably shouldn't have but this beautiful bombshell was hurting and needed comforting and she hated to see anyone upset but Callie was grateful for the hug she needed a hug right now.

"Come on let's get you back to the house before Sofia send out her own little search party for you" Roberta said breaking the hug smiling at Callie.

"Thank you" is all Callie said.

They made their way up to the house walking in silence, Once walking in the front door Sofia came running up.

"Mami, Mami where have you been? We go to the park remember."

Callie picked up Sofia giving her a tight squeeze and kissing her temple, days like today this is what she lived for her beautiful daughter.

"I just went for a walk baby, sweetie I know I said we would take you to the park but you've already had a big day and Mami is tired and dinner is almost ready so we will go to the park tomorrow ok"

"Aww but Mami" Sofia pouted.

"Don't aww Mami me young lady, I said tomorrow ok and that's final" Callie said sternly, she hated being stern with her daughter sometimes but times like this she had to be or else Sofia would walk over them and always get her own way and that's not how she wanted to raise her.

"Ok Mami" wrapping her little hands around Callie's neck giving her a kiss on the cheek

"I love you Mami"

"I love you to Mija""

"Mami, can you please draw with me? I show you the picture I was drawing with Pa pa"

"We can do that, but only for a bit because we have to wash up before dinner ok"

Sofia nodded and requested to be put down Sofia then took Callie's hand dragging her to the TV room. Once in the TV room Sofia picked up her picture and showed Callie she explained what she had drawn by pointing at the picture.

"This is me and this you, oh this one is Momma and that one is Pa pa oh and over here is my pet seal in the pool I've named him kisses, do you like?"

"I love it sweetie" kissing the top of Sofia's head.

"Do you think Pa pa will let me hang it on the fridge?"

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind" but she thought to herself when her mother got home she would rip it down as she didn't truly accept Callie's life choices.

Sofia handed Callie a piece of paper and some pencils.

"Mami can you draw a picture for me please?"

"Anything for you baby"

They sat in the TV room drawing and chatting amongst themselves, times like this Callie was thankful for it helped her take her mind off the other troubles surrounding her life at the moment.

Back at the apartment Alex finally got Arizona to eat something and now they were enjoying a few beers talking about work but Callie was mostly the topic choice and how Arizona fucked up her family and her life so much and then there were tears then some laughs in the mix but Alex was happy to sit and listen and comfort Arizona. They now sat on the couch drinking beers and watching some horrible medical program on TV laughing at how farfetched the program was it wasn't and didn't come close to being realistic it was really bad they both picked up on the actors mistakes and oh my good the actors were horrible they thought they could way better jobs then the "Actors" were doing and if these doctors were in the real world their patience would have no chance.

Arizona's head was leaning against Alex shoulder's when Alex asked her a question she didn't reply, he looked over and noticed Arizona had fallen asleep. He carefully got up trying not to disturb her he then scooped her up in his arms and made his way to the bedroom where he gently laid her on the bed pulling up the covers, he quickly set the bed side alarm for her shift tomorrow he walked out and gentle shut the door.

Making his way back to the lounge room he thought about driving home but thought he might be just over the limit and wouldn't risk it so he made his self comfortable on the couch decided to crush on the couch since it was still early he grabbed another beer and flicked through the channels seeing if there was anything interesting on TV.
