Arizona and Callie sat straight up as Indie started crying, Callie hopped out of bad in a flash. "Oh mija, what's the matter?" Callie started calming her down,walking to the bed and laying her in the middle.
"Hey baby girl." Arizona smiled down at her. "And good morning to you." Arizona leaned over Indie as Callie smiled and leaned in meeting with a kiss in the middle.
"Mmm it is a good morning indeed. I'm kind of happy not having anything to do today, I feel like I've been on the go since I took the job here." Callie laid her hand on Indie's stomach as she started to whimper. "Maybe someone is hungry, huh?" she says, smiling down at the little girl and scooping her up in her arms.
"I'm going to start coffee." Arizona says, stretching and rolling over the edge to stand.
"You have a problem with me breast feeding?" Callie asks, watching as Arizona spins around going wide eyed.
"What? No, no I don't." Callie raises her eyebrow. "I don't it's... I just have a hard time not staring and, and I can't focus, so I find it easier to just you know, walk away." Arizona squirms looking down at the floor and going bright red.
"Ah, I see." Callie says, holding in a laugh at how cute the blonde looks. "You can go." She says, giggling and making Indie cry out from losing her milk supply .
"See, that is why, they're out on display and I can't have them." Arizona says, pointing to the nipple that's on display. Callie just laughs harder and gets Indie to calm down and start drinking again. "I'm going to go and make coffee because I was just getting annoyed at your boob being out and it's just wrong to be upset about that." Arizona grumbles before she walks out the door.
"She's pretty funny huh? Yeah I think so too." Callie talks away to Indie. She makes her way down stairs and into the kitchen, popping Indie into the high chair they purchased yesterday along with the pram. Callie walks up behind Arizona and turns her so she leans back against the bench. "I'm sorry I laughed earlier I hadn't realized it affected you so much. I'll try and cover so it doesn't happen again." Callie steps closer to the pouting blonde and lifts her chin making her look her in the eyes. "And I don't know, maybe one day you can have them, but I need slow at the moment. So I'm giving you an out n-." Arizona cuts her off by taking Callie's lips in a passionate kiss that leaves Callie's brain in mush.
"I don't want an out, and I haven't actually had a relationship in sometime so I'm happy to go slow with you." Arizona shows her dimples making Callie smile and kiss her, a little more than PG.
"When did that happen?" Teddy asks walking in with Tim, making the women pull apart, chests heaving.
"Apparently yesterday." Tim says wiping his eyes of sleep and kissing Indie on top of her head. "Hey squirt."
Callie gives Arizona a confused look and Arizona smiles. "I ran into him at the hospital yesterday." Callie nods and turns to Tim and Teddy.
"French toast for everyone then?"
"Yes please." Arizona jumps and claps her hands. Teddy and Tim agree grabbing coffee as Callie sets to work.
Breakfast passes and Teddy and Tim leave for work, Callie and Arizona set up on the couch with Indie on the floor in front of them, they watch movies and chatter away, snuggling with each other.
The day passed in a blur of lounging around and doing quick errands here and there. Callie and Arizona went over to air out Callie's house and Callie gave her a tour
The next morningCallie once again woke to find Arizona in her bed again and snuggled in close. As Callie studied Arizona sleeping she couldn't help but feel the butterflies circulate in her stomach every time she thought of theirimpending date. She hadn't been on a date in six years and what if this one doesn't work out. And she's got indie to think about now. She doesn't really know Arizona but she has been nothing but nice to her and Callie's pretty sure that Arizona already loves Indie. And the thing that she was afraid of most was being hurt, Callie couldn't take getting hurt again. Trust was a big issue with her, Callie's been left cheated on and abused, she already feels like she's put to much trust in Arizona. Working herself up into a state of panic she slips out of the covers checking to make sure she didn't wake Arizona, grabbing her phone, baby monitor and checking Indie on the way out. Chucking on a jacket and shawl she makes her way out to the porch and hits speed dial 1. On the last ring it's picked up.
"Is my niece getting you up nice and early?" Aria ask walking into her office and sitting down at her desk.
"Ha no, no she's still asleep lucky thing. I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
"Nope just walked into my office and now I'm drinking my coffee, slow day today. So why are you up so early?"
"I… I'm… I've got…" Callie has a million things running through her mind and doesn't know where to start.
Aria stifles a laugh and rolls her eyes. "Come on Cal, you can tell me. Let's start easy, why are you calling me at-."Aria checks her watch and counts the time difference. "5:30 in the morning?"
"I'm freaking out slightly."
"Aha, and why are you freaking out at 5:30 in the morning?" Aria asks, she's used to her sister not spitting it out all at once and has learned to work her way to the problem. Before Callie can answer she cuts in again. "Wait. Did you have another nightmare?"
"No. well yes I must have" Thinking about Arizona sleeping in her bed. "But that's not why I'm freaking out."
"Oh ok then." Aria's thoroughly confused. "So..?" she presses on.
"I have a date." Callie spits out.
"Oh…" Aria says shocked, trying to process this new information. "Wi-." Callie cuts her off
"And not just me, but Arizona said to bring Indigo on the date as well. What if she can't handle dating someone with a baby and just dumps or leaves and it all goes horribly wrong. I mean she's been pretty freaking perfect to us, driving us around and taking care of Indie and making sure we have everything. But what if I get too attached and she turns out to be this horrible person?" Callie takes a breather.
"I d-." Aria cut off once again.
"Of course she's not horrible she works with kids for craps sake. She's sweet and got this innocent look in her eyes. Oh my god her eyes, I could get lost in them forever, they're like oceans, they get this sparkle when she looks at me and Indie. She wouldn't be after just sex right? No one would go through ass much trouble she has just to get laid. She's gorgeous she could have any woman she wants, she wouldn't do everything she has just to sleep with me right? She's been sleeping in my bed-"
"What?" Aria cuts in, trying to keep up with Callie's train of thought.
"Yeah, she's been holding me because I've been crying in my sleep. She makes me feel like I'm the only one around just with a looks she gives me, and I mean we've known each other, what? 3 weeks, and only hung out for 3 days." Callie takes in a deep breathe. "And I trust her so completely." Callie whispers at the end as tears come to her eyes and Aria's heart nearly breaks at the insecurity she can hear in Callie's voice. "Aria?"
"Yeah Cal?"
"When she kissed me it felt like my whole body woke up after being shut down for so many years. And it's unlike anything I've ever felt when I'm with her, I have to be around her." Aria smiles at Callie's words.
"Ok Can I speak now?" Aria asks, making Callie chuckle.
"Yes."
"First of all I don't think Arizona would have asked you out if she wasn't sure she could date someone with a baby, and from what you've just described, it doesn't sound like she's a horrible person, far from it, if she's looking after Indie as much as she's looking after you." Aria points out.
"I guess so." Callie thinks about it.
"And if she just wanted sex, she would have tried to get into your pants, has she?"
"Well no, she's been taking it slow and she's sweet."
"See I don't think she wants just sex, other wise she would have tried for more." Aria thinks of what to say next. "I think a date is a great idea, the only way you're going to know her better is if you hang out with her and date her."Aria laughs making Callie giggle. "I think it's great you trust her, you've always had a good gut instinct about these things so I trust you to make the right choice sweetie, just believe in yourself a little more. It sounds like you found a good one."
Callie smiles as she takes in arias words. "Thanks Aria."
"Anytime sweetie. Other than the freak out everything good, sounds like it's good." Callie could hear the smile in her voice.
"Really good. I think we're going to like it here. It'll be better once you get here."
"Shouldn't be too long now, they're organising everything at the other office for me now. So crisis averted for now?"
"For now. Thank you and I'll call you to let you know how it goes. I can hear Indie stirring on the monitor, Te quiero sis."(I love you sis.)
"Te quiero Cal and give my princesa a kiss from me. Oh and remember Cal, un paso a la vez." (one step at a time) And she hangs up, making Callie laugh.
Callie can hear Indie on the monitor making a sucking noise which means she's going to start screaming if she doesn't get any food soon. Making her way to the room, she leans over the crib to pick Indie up. "Good morning mija." She whispers, kissing her on the forehead. "Qué quieres desayunar?" (Do you want some breakfast?)She asks sitting down on the bed trying not to wake the blonde. Callie gets Indie set up and she's quickly drinking away. Callie studies her daughters face like she does every time she feeds her. "¿Crees que es una buena idea? Yo sé que ella te trate como una princesa. ¿Quién no lo haría? Eres demasiado lindo." (Do you think it's a good idea? I know she treats you like a princess. Who wouldn't? You are too cute.) She smiles and looks down at Arizona's face, she looks so atpeace and her mouth is parted slightly making her look adorable. "Ella es hermosa y dulce. Yo no la fecha si pensé que iba a ser malo para nosotros. Un paso a la vez." (She is beautiful and sweet. I wouldn't date her if iIthought it would be bad for us. One step at a time.)
"You sound extremely sexy talking right now." Arizona mumbles out, trying to fight off having to wake up. Callie jumps slightly at her voice but smiles as Arizona moves closer and encircles her lower half, laying her head on Callie's thigh.
"Sorry if we woke you. This little one needed some food before she screamed the house down." Callie chuckled.
Arizona tried to burrow further into Callie's legs. "I don't mind, whatever you were saying it sounded hot." Arizona lets out a sexy, sleepy chuckle, Callie melts at the sound and runs her free hand through Arizona's hair.
"What time did you come in?" Callie asks as Arizona hums at the feeling of Callie's fingers trailing along her scalp.
"Umm I think 2." Arizona turns her head and moves her eyes up to look at Callie and smiles.
"Was I being loud?" Callie asks, not sure if she had a nightmare last night or not.
"No just crying a little bit, it didn't seem as bad as the other nights." Arizona lifts her head and kisses Callie's thigh and then sits up, kissing Indie on the head and then Callie on the lips. "Morning." Arizona lets out a full blown dimpled smile. Callie grabs her by the nape of the neck and pulls her in for a soft but passionate kiss.
"Mmm morning." Indie stops feeding and looks up at the two women, her eyes move to Callie and she smiles making Callie's breathe catch. "Holy crap I think that's a real smile."
"Aww she's so cute. It's your smile for sure." Arizona squeals, making Indies smile go bigger.
Callie feels tears come to her eyes as she watches her daughter smile properly for the first time. "She's just so perfect. Aren't you mija? I think you know it too." Callie lifts her singlet to cover herself and lays Indie down on her legs so she can keep making her smile. She chats away and lightly tickles Indie making her smile again and again. After a couple of minutes she sees a flash from some where and looks up to find Arizona with a Camera, she didn't even realize the blonde had left the bed. "Where did you get that? It looks pretty fancy." Callie asks as Arizona snaps some more pictures.
"My room, Photography's a hobby of mine so I always have it ready. These are going to turn out great." Arizona beams and jumps on the bed looking through the pictures she took quickly before getting some of just Indie. "You're too cute sweetie." Arizona laughs and leans down to kiss her chubby cheeks. Callie chuckles at her. "And you missy are just beautiful I think." Arizona says locking eyes with the brunette. "I'm taking you two girls out today."
"I can't wait." Callie smiles, glad that she already had her freak out before Arizona woke this morning.
"I'll let you finish feeding her while I make the coffee then I have to get some things for our date after." Arizona heads for the door but turns at the doorway and snaps one more picture of Callie picking up Indie, both having the biggest smile on their faces.
While Arizona ran out to get things ready Callie decided to figure out what she was going to wear, Arizona had said that they will be outside so Callie should dress warm in case it gets cold where they're going. Callie decides to go with black figure hugging jeans with a purple v-neck sweater and her leather jacket. She quickly chucks on her boots and gets Indie changed and ready, she chooses her dark green pants with a little black shirt and Indie's purple hooded jacket with a matching beanie, and her little purple converse all stars to finish if off. Callie checks the time and sees that she has a halfan hour left before Arizona said they would be leaving so she decides to give Indie a quick feed and then she's hoping she won't have to do it while they're out.
As Callie is finishing feeding she hears a knock at the door so she quickly fixes her shirt and goes to answer it. As she swings the door open she comes to the view of Arizona in skin tight jeans and a red button jacket and black beanie smiling with her dimples in full force. "What…" Callie's confused.
"I'm here to pick you ladies up for our date." She says giggling. She pulls a bouquet of purple tulips from behind her back. "These are for you."
"Arizona." Callie breaths out smiling like a fool. "They're beautiful." Callie takes them and heads to the kitchen to put them in a vase.
"You look wonderful as usual Calliope." Arizona beams taking in her outfit and the way her hair cascades down her back and the tight fitting jeans hug her ass perfectly.
"As do you." Callie says letting her eyes rake up Arizona's body.
"You ready to head out?" Arizona asks, throwing her thumb over her shoulder.
"Yup. Do we need Indies pram?"
"Already in the car and I packed her nappy bag as well." Arizona says hoping she will like their date. It's the perfect weather for it. Callie makes her way to Arizona and hooks her fingers in Arizona's belt loops and pulls her in for a not so innocent kiss.
Pulling apart she rests her forehead against Arizona's, looking into her eyes. "You're amazing, you know that." Callie states, shocking Arizona.
"Thanks, you're pretty amazing yourself."
"Are you taking me to the woods to kill me and steal my baby?" Callie asks as they turned onto a dirt road and all you could see was trees.
Arizona giggled. "That seems a bit extreme but no I'm not Calliope. Not long now."
Five minutes pass and Arizona brings her car to a stop, Callie looks at her quizzically and then looks at her surroundings. Green, it's very green, lots of trees, freshly rained on grass and as she scans the area Callie's eyes fall on a purple blanket and picnic basket. "We're having a picnic?" Callie asks, a smile playing her lips as she looks at Arizona. Arizona nods inconfirmation not sure if the Latina is happy about this. "No one has ever made a picnic for me." Callie beams, her smilenearly blinding Arizona.
"Well come on, we're wasting valuable sunshine, you grab Indie and I'll get her pram and blankets." They hop out of the car and get Indie settled and wrapped up just in case she gets cold. Callie links her arm through Arizona's as she pushes the pram towards the picnic set up. As they get to the blanket Callie leans down and presses her lips to the blonde's cheek and then whispers. "This is beautiful. I love it." Set out on a purple blanket with big comfy looking pillows is a basket full of pastries and salad rolls, fruit and chocolates with some sparkling wine and water. The view is spectacular, their little picnic seems to over look the Seattle city. "Did you set this up?" Callie asks looking around to see no one.
"Yes Calliope, I came and set it up this morning."
"How did you know no one was going to come and take it?" Callie sets the brakes on the pram right next the blanket and sits down and Arizona follows while pouring the wine.
"This is a private property. Derek Shepherd, I think you met him." Callie nods remembering his perfect looking hair. "It's his land but he lets everyone at the hospital use it, him and Mer are building a house just that way. It's going to be an awesome house."
"Wow this is a lot of land. It's really beautiful."
"I love it here. Sometimes if I have a hard day at work and it's just utter crap, I come out here and just soak in the peace and quiet of the place and I leave feeling a whole lot better." Arizona smiles at Callie and gets one in return.
"Well thank you for bringing us here." They snack on the food and sip their wine in a comfortable silence.
"So…" Arizona breaks the silence. "What's your Favorite color?" she asks and Callie lets out a belly laugh which makes Indie let out a huge smile.
"Hmmm it changes from purple to blue all the time, I can't really pick one." She says and conversation flows between them as they get to know each other more and more.
After some light making out while Indie slept and talking the afternoon away they decided to pack up and head home because the temperature had dropped. As they quickly run inside the house it starts to pour down with a loud clap of thunder. "Welcome to Seattle." Arizona says giggling and making Callie laugh.
"I don't think I've ever seen weather change that fast. I could go some hot chocolate, you want some?" Callie asked heading into the kitchen
"Ohhh yes please that sounds so good right now. I'll take her." Arizona plucked Indie out of Callie arms and sat on the stool as Callie started making hot chocolates. Callie rounds the kitchen counter, putting the drinks down and stops just in between Arizona's legs and looks down at Indie nestled in her arms slowly falling asleep.
"Thank you for today. I had a wonderful time." A caramel hand brushes a blonde lock behind Arizona's ear and then cups her cheek. Arizona looks into deep brown soulful eyes and finds something she hasn't seen coming from someone in a long time. Adoration. Callie smiles and leans down planting a firm kiss on her lips making Arizona's head spin.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, I had an awesome time as well." Arizona giggled. Callie sat down and the stool opposite Arizona and a serious face came over her. "What's the matter?" Arizona asks concerned.
"I wanted to talk to you about something that's all. I know we just had our date and I should have probably had this conversation before we went out but I didn't." Callie's heart was racing from nervousness and Arizona felt uneasy.
"Okay… I'm listening." Arizona gulped.
"I… I had a bit of a freak out this morning before you woke up." Arizona scrunches her eyebrows thinking about how calm Callie was when she woke up. "I called Aria and she talked me through it." Callie explained and placed a hand on Arizona's knee making them both instantly relax a little. "I like you. I really like you and I need you to understand that when it comes to dating I'm a little scared of having my heart broken." Arizona opens her mouth but Callie holds up her hand. "I have problems trusting people because of my past but with you, you've some how broken all my walls and that's what terrifies me. One day I will tell you my past. I just can't talk about it yet, but I will, so I just… I just wanted to ask to go slow with whatever is going on between us, please?"
"I will go as slow as you want Calliope." Arizona smiles at Callie.
"I…" Callie's cheeks go red and she looks down. "When I say taking it slow, I'm talking about sex as well, I don't know when I will be ready for that." Callie says turning redder.
Arizona hooks a finger under Callie's chin, looking into her eyes she says. "Sweetie I will wait and take things as slow as you need them to be. And I would never intentionally hurt you or Indie. I promise." Arizona smiles softly.
Callie lets out a breath and smiles. "Great, phew I'm glad I got that out." She chuckles. "So what do you think of putting on a movie and I can feed her then we can snuggle for a little while."
"That sounds like an awesome afternoon. Are we still classifying this a date because I really want to put on my sweats?" Arizona asks smiling sweetly.
Callie laughs. "Umm I don't know, but sweats sound pretty good right now, and your ass looks pretty good in sweats so I'm not going to stop you from changing." Callie smiles sheepishly, going red at just saying that.
"You've noticed how my ass looks in sweats?" Callie nods. "Well I guess it's only fair, I mean I have seen your boobs on numerous occasions and cant help but get a little excited." Arizona giggles wagging her eyebrows suggestively and making Callie crack up.
"You're too adorable." Callie leans in for a peck. "Ok we get changed and then get comfy for some movies."
Arizona nods and they head up and quickly get changed and then settle in for an afternoon of cuddling and movies. Arizona wraps her arm around Callie's shoulder as she feeds Indie, Callie turns and looks at Arizona. "Perfect first date." She whispers kissing Arizona on the cheek making her smile before turning back as the movie starts.
hope you like.
