A beeping sound rings through the bedroom making Arizona stir and crack one eye open looking for the noise. It sounds like hers but can't remember where it is, sliding out of Callie's arms groaning at the tired muscles and the ache between her legs. Stumbling to Callie's bag she finds her phone and pulls it out seeing a text from Tim saying he's bringing Indie around before work. Finding her robe and ugg boots she slips them on, kisses Callie's cheek and heads down the stairs just as there is a knock on the door.
Flinging it open she finds a rugged up Tim and indie smiling, Indies arms instantly going towards Arizona. "Well good morning princess." Arizona coos and kisses chubby cheeks. "can you thank teddy for watching her for us."
"I already did." Tim says with dirty smirk on his face handing the nappy bag over.
"Eww gross." Arizona scrunches up her face.
"No what's gross is watching my sister and girlfriend dry hump in the back o the cab last night." Tim says laughing and shivering as Arizona's cheeks go red.
"We weren't dry humping." She lamely fights back.
"Yeah whatever you want to believe. I've got to head, running the ER today." Tim says kissing Indies cheeks and heading for the car.
"Say bye uncle Tim" Arizona says waving indies hand for her before shutting the door.
"How bout we get you out of this jacket and have some breakfast." Arizona drops the nappy bag and heads to the kitchen while pulling the jacket off indie and sitting her in the high chair." I think warm porridge this morning is in order for you missy."
"Baba ba be." Indie babbles.
"Is that what you did with Aunty Teddy huh?"
"Ma ma ma ma." Indie claps her hands together as Arizona makes her cereal.
"That's awesome baby girl. Mami's sleeping but she will be here soon." Arizona smiles, checking to make sure coffee is brewing and sits in front of indie ready to feed her.
Food ending up all over her chubby cheeks and eyebrows Arizona just laughs as indie opens her mouth for more after every swallow. Seeing movement she flicks her eyes to the stairs and is shocked to see Lexie Grey in an oversized shirt heading towards the kitchen. Indie grunting in protest of no food being fed, snapping Arizona back to feeding her.
"Good morning Dr. Robbins." Lexie says shyly stepping into the kitchen. "Hey Indie."
"Morning Lex, uhh you can call me Arizona here." Arizona says chuckling. "Help yourself to coffee, mugs are just above with the sugar and Callie was going to make waffles for breakfast if you want to wait a little while." Arizona still trying to get over the shock.
"Thanks." Lexie goes about grabbing a mug. "You want one?" Lexie asks holding a mug up.
"Sure, just a tiny bit of milk for me thanks." Arizona says, indie humming as she chews.
"How does Addison take her coffee?"
"Same as me." Arizona says wiping down Indies face and hands. "Thanks." Arizona smiles as Lexie hands her a coffee.
"I'm just going to…" Lexie points her head picking up the coffees heading to the stairs.
"Cool, I'll call when breakfast is ready." And with that Lexie disappears back up stairs.
'Well I did not see that coming I can tell you that." She whispers to Indie who just smiles at her. "Let's go wake Mami and tell her."
Arizona downs her coffee and scooping Indie up and racing upstairs to their bedroom, hearing giggles from Addison's room on the way. "Weird." Arizona says to herself.
Closing the door to the bedroom Indie lets out a happy squeal as she see Callie laying there and reaches for the bed. Callie cracks one eye open and see the little girl reaching for her making her smile. "Morning my beautiful girls." Callie says in her sleepy voice and sits up pulling the sheet with her. Arizona plonks her in Callie's lap before sitting back against the head board too. Callie leans over and kisses Arizona's waiting lips but pulls back when she feels indie latch on to her nipple making Arizona laugh. "I see how it is; you only want me for one thing." Callie chuckles and Indie brings her hand up holding out to Arizona to hold.
"Lexie's still here." Arizona blurts out making Callie raise an eyebrow towards her. "I don't have a problem it's just, Addie never lets women stay over. It's weird and I walked passed there door and I heard giggling. It was weird." Callie just chuckles.
"Maybe Addie likes her." Callie muses, Indie humming as she drinks closing her eyes.
"It will be a first that I've seen. It would be cool though." Arizona says excitedly thinking Addison might move back.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself babe it was just one night." Callie says knowing that look in Arizona's eyes. Both women look down as a little snore leaves miniature lips to find Indie asleep. "She will be out for at least half hour, how about you and me jump in the shower and then I'll make waffles." Allie says raising her eyebrows comically.
Arizona doesn't say anything she just jumps up and puts a pillow beside indie so she won't roll out and sprints to the bathroom. "You coming?" She whispers and watches as Callie do the same with her pillow and follows her naked girlfriend into the Shower.
Exiting the bathroom they find a very awake Indie just lying in the middle of the bed giving them a smile as they get closer. They quickly chuck on sweats, indie on Callie's hip as they make their way down stairs. "I have been craving waffles all week, it's been driving Alex crazy." Arizona groans pouring two coffees.
"Ma ma ma ma." Indie wiggles in Callie's arms trying to get down.
"What's the matter baby?" Callie says letting Indie on the ground and watching as she crawls to Arizona's feet and pulls herself up by Arizona's pants. Indie stretches her arms to Arizona.
"Mama." Callie watches with interest as Arizona smile down at her before picking her up, head instantly resting on her shoulder. A little chubby arm stretches in Callie's direction. "Mami." Callie breaks out into a giant smile at understanding her daughter and notices Arizona is too busy making coffees to realize what just happened.
"Arizona." Callie waits till blue eyes look up at her. "She just called you something, did you hear it?" Arizona's face drops telling Callie that she didn't. Callie walks up and wraps and arm around Arizona speaking to Indie. "That's right baby girl, this is your mama." Callie watches as shock flashes across Arizona's faces before a breathe taking dimpled smile comes into view. Tears in her eyes and heart bursting with love for the little girl who stole a piece of her from the get go.
"She did?"
"Come to mami?" Callie asks holding her hands out to indie seeing if this will work and it does. Indie shakes her head clinging to Arizona's shirt.
"Mama." Indie says tapping Arizona's chest. Arizona can't control it, the tears slip passed her eye lids and she holds her baby girl to her laughing happily.
"oh I love you too much baby girl, and you just made me love you even more if that's possible." Callie hugs both her girls closely loving every minute of it.
"Now mama, why don't you go and play while I make breakfast?" Callie says tapping Arizona butt out of the kitchen and getting to work.
"Arizona said Callie's making waffles for breakfast." Lexie says stepping out of the en-suite shower after Addison and grabbing towel.
"Sweet, a home cooked breakfast. I haven't had one of those in years." Addison dries off and wraps her hair in the towel walking over to her suit case naked. Lexies libido kicks in again just looking at Addison's long milky legs, making herself turn away to get herself under control. "Do you want some sweats?"
"Yeah I don't feel like putting jeans on yet." Lexie grabs the sweats from Addison and slips them on with the baggy shirt from earlier.
"You working today?"
"Yeah I start at 12, finish at midnight." Lexie says then lets out a laugh. "Sloan's service actually."
"Oh... he might not be too happy." Addison says feeling guilty at just remembering stealing Lexie right out from mark. guilt disappearing as she looks at Lexie in a baggy shirt and pants, hair in a messy wet bun sitting down and slipping sock on.
"He will live, I was never going to sleep with him anyway. He's done all the other residents i just didn't want to be added to that list." Lexie babbles on not noticing Addison just staring. "He's a big boy and can get over it." Lexie finishes and stands up looking into greys eyes studying her. "What?" Lexie asks looking down at herself.
Addison crosses the room in two strides coming toe to toe with Lexie and cupping her cheek. "You really are beautiful." She whispers and leans in kissing Lexie softly. Lexie's scrunches the fabric of Addison's shirt pulling her in closer and running her tongue along Addison's granting access straight away. Both moaning as their tongues make contact.
Over the next couple of days Callie and Arizona found Lexie in the kitchen every morning making coffee for everyone before disappearing back into bed with Addison.
It was annoying to no end to Arizona that Addison wouldn't talk about it. Arizona marches over to the table in the cafeteria huffing and crossing her arms as she sat down next to Callie who was reading her medical journal. "Still not talking?" Callie asks making Teddy and Tim smirk.
"No." Arizona says pouting.
Callie knows she's pouting but refuses to look up at Arizona. "She will tell you when she wants to babe." She says calmly.
"She won't even confirm it, she just smile and disappears into an on-call room with a giggling Lexie." Callie finally looks up when she finishes reading to find Arizona pouting still.
"You want to know what I know." Callie says smugly making Teddy and Tim lean in closer.
"I'm leaving I don't want to hear any more of this bull." Mark says standing up, grabbing his apple and leaving.
"So he's still not over th-."
"Shhh Tim, Callie's talking." Arizona says cutting him off.
"Lexie's on my service this week and I found out if you give her peanut butter cups she will tell you anything." Callie begins.
"That's it, your great news? Come on tha-." Arizona starts but Tim covers her mouth with his hand.
"Will you let me finish hun?" Callie asks and Arizona nods as Tim lowers his hand. "So we go to the Ortho floor after our surgery and the nurse offered us peanut butter cups, anyway Lexie was babbling away more than usual so i ask her if she was alright. She just blurts out like word vomit that she's freaking out about the date she has tonight with Addison."
"But Addison doesn't date." Tim says shocked sitting back.
"In all the years we've known her, I have never once heard of her going on a date." Teddy says shocked. They all turn to Arizona and notice she hasn't moved.
"Babe, are you alright?" Callie asks.
"Wh-why didn't she tell me?" Arizona says more to herself.
"Maybe she's just nervous." Callie offers.
"Yeah maybe. I'm going to get back to work I'll see you later, love you." Arizona says distracted walking away.
"Love you too." Callie calls and turns to Tim and Ted who shrug as Tim stands.
"We've got an appointment with Addison actually so we will see you later Cal." Tim says helping teddy up.
"Good luck let me know how it goes." Callie says going back to her journal.
Arizona wanders around her ward not really having any work to do and not want to do paper work right now. she decides to make her way to day, standing at the door she can see Indie happily plying With blocks, Zola helping her stack them and knock them down. the pure joy in Indies face brings a smile to her face and is enough to keep her going the rest of the day.
Closing herself in her office she begins the mountain of paper work she has put off for a while. Onto her third file she hears he phone beep and checks her message.
Out of ur little funk? Callie xxx
Laughing at the message she quickly replies.
Yeah. Went n saw Indie n now im doin paper work :I Ari xxx miss you
Good! Miss you too, just goin into surgery love you Callie xxx
Smiling goofily she shoots bag a reply.
Love you too xxx
Settling back in just as she about to sign her name her office door flies open with a bang making her jump and swear. Tim comes running in with his hands held above his head like he's won a victory and dimples on full display.
"Twin boys!" He shouts and Arizona just stairs at him. "We're having twin boys." He says as tears come to his eyes he's so happy.
"Are you serious?" Arizona jumps out of her chair rounding her desk.
"Addie just confirmed. I thought we were just having a big baby but nope twin boys."
"That's awesome Timmy." Arizona shrieks and jumps into Tim's arms hugging him tightly as he spun them. "Momma's going to go nuts!" Arizona says chuckling.
"I already called her and she just squealed in the phone and hung up." he says laughing.
"This is so awesome." Arizona squeals reminding Tim of their mom. "Teddy is going to be pretty big."
"Yeah she is already blaming me, it will be a fun couple of months." Tim says laughing and shaking his head. "We're heading home now so I'll see you round." Tim says kissing her cheek and heading to the door but stopping when he hears his name.
"Congratulations Timmy." Arizona says, he nods his head and walks out closing the door behind him.
Sending a quick message to Teddy, Arizona settle back into her paper work but not 15 minutes later there is a knock on the door. "Come in." Arizona says not looking up from her charts. The person who enters doesn't say anything and Arizona looks up to find Addison standing by the door looking at her feet. "You ok?" She asks concerned for her friend.
Addison shrugs her shoulders and closes the door before lying on the couch looking at the ceiling. Arizona walks over to her and sits on the coffee table waiting for Addison to talk. Ten minutes pass before a word is said. "I'm nervous." she whispers not making eye contact.
"About?" Arizona asks already knowing the answer but wanting to hear it from Addison herself.
"I asked her on a date tonight. Me Addison 'I'll never have a relationship' Forbes Montgomery asked Lexie grey on a date." Addison huffs. "What is wrong with me?" She asks making Arizona laugh.
"Oh sweetie nothing is wrong with you, you like Lexie more than you thought well more than anyone thought actually."
"Hey! Be nice." Addison says chuckling. "I have reservations at that new place Quarters or something like that and then I was planning on taking her dancing. Sound ok?" Addison asks softly.
"Soft like a perfect first date, there's no reason to be nervous. She already likes you because she's woken up in our house the last 4 mornings with you so I'm going to go ahead and say she likes you." Addison can only nod at what Arizona's saying. "Now you're going to pull on that confidant persona you always have and you missy are going to woo the pants off of your date." Arizona says making Addison smirk at the double meaning.
"I've had her pants off twice today already."
"Ok gross but I totally left it open for you there." Arizona chuckles but holds her hand up as Addison opens her mouth. "You don't need to say it, it's already in my head. Now go home and get a hot dress on and have an awesome date." Arizona says holding her hand up and getting a high five in return.
"Ok I can do this, I'm going to be awesome." Addison jumps up from the couch and heads to the door, before opening it she turns to Arizona. "Just so you know, I do really like her." With that Addison leaves to get ready.
Deciding she's had enough for today and Callie should be nearly finished her surgery she decides to pick up Indie and meet Callie in the attending's locker room. Grabbing her bag of files she turns everything off and locks the door behind her. "Hey River, I'm heading out. Dr. Bjorn is on call as of now."
"Ok goodnight Dr. Robbins." the nurse says from behind the nurses' station as Arizona wave's good bye.
"Hey Kel, I'm signing out Indie. How was she today?" Arizona asks Kelly as she makes her way into the day care.
"An angel as always. No miss haps today, she did finish all her milk and crackers today as well." Kelly says grabbing Indies bag for Arizona.
"Mama." Indie shrieks having heard her voice, she crawls as quick as she can towards Arizona and reaching up to her.
"Hey baby girl, I missed you."
"Dr. Robbins there was a lady here earlier today looking through the window and I noticed she was looking at Indie. I had security called it was starting to freak me out and I told Dr. Torres when she came up before her surgery." Kelly finishes watching as Arizona holds Indie tighter to her. "The women kind of looked like an older version of Dr. Torres."
"Ok, thanks Kelly. Can you say bye sweetie?" Arizona says to Indie just getting a giggle in return. Arizona heads to the elevator waiting for it to arrive. When the doors opened revealing it packed with attending's. Stepping on Arizona says hello to Meredith and Derek, marks till giving her the silent treatment because of Addison.
"Mark it wasn't my fault, I didn't even think Lexie would have gone through with it but it seems to be working, she's at our house every night." Arizona shrugs.
"So she's been at yours?" Meredith asks. "I was starting get worried."
"Uhh yeah with Addison but that's all I'm saying." Arizona realizes she probably said too much.
"Mama." Indie says as she puts chubby hands on Arizona's cheeks before laying a sloppy kiss on her chin. "Mama, mama." Indie beams.
"Aw I love you two baby girl, come on mami is waiting for us in the waiting area. Good night everyone." Arizona says walking out and seeing Callie reading her phone and looking up as she hears footsteps.
"Ready to go?" Callie asks when she sees Arizona walking up to them and catches Indie after kissing Arizona.
"Yup, Tim and Teddy are having twin boys." Arizona says proudly.
"Yeah Tim rang me when they got home, almost burst my ear he was talking so loud and excited."
Brown eyes watch as Arizona walks up to Callie smiling and kissing softly before Indie jumps to Callie's arms nestling into her mother's arms. Arizona wraps her arm around Callie waist slipping her hand into Callie's back pocket as Callie tells her something and they head out towards the car park.
Putting Indie in bed Arizona heads down stairs to find Callie curled up on the couch reading the same medical journal. Grabbing two wines she sits down next to her getting a half smile from Callie. "Did you talk to Kelly today?" Arizona asks casually.
"I did. I think my mothers in town." Callie says letting her head fall back on her shoulders and sighing.
"Have you talked to her since you moved her?"
"Nope, I've had a couple of missed calls. I just can't bring myself to answer them." Arizona listens putting he wine glass down and grabbing Callie's foot beginning to massage it. "Ohhh god that feels amazing." Callie moans.
"What was your mom like when... when you were in miami?" Arizona asks hoping Callie won't shut down.
"Um more like a silent follower of my dad… Never really stuck up for herself. Quiet and reserved. It was my father's way or they highway." Callie says quietly as memories of her parents arguing but her father always winning and controlling her mom.
The front door opens and they watch as Addison and Lexie sneak quietly up the stairs not having noticed them in the living room making them laugh quietly. "What time is it?" Arizona asks.
"Only 9:30."
"Must have decided against dancing then." Arizona laughs. "Come on I want to cuddle in bed for a little while."
Callie woke up early the following morning not having slept very well. Slipping out of the room, indie still sound asleep she makes her way down stairs to make some coffee.
This thing with her mom has really rattled her, she keeps wondering what would possess the woman to come to Seattle now?
"Morning." Aria says pouring some coffee for herself. "What's the matter?"
"Did you know moms in town?"
"Wha- no I heard from her all week. How do you know she's in town?" Aria asked shocked.
"The day care workers gave a description of her. She's been watching Indie." Callie sighs as she feels a headache coming on and rubs her temples.
"I wonder what she wa-." Aria is cut off as they hear the doorbell ring.
They both know who it is, Callie makes her way to the door and opens it. "Hey mom. Come in out of the cold." Callie opens the door more and closes it once Lucia is inside. They stand just in the door way not venturing into the house more. "What do you want mom?"
"I missed you and you weren't answering any of my calls. I-I threatened to leave your father if her didn't make things right with you." Lucia says smiling as aria walks in and gives her a hug. "You both look wonderful as always."
"So, you just think that showing up and saying your leaving dad will make things better?" Callie asks not believing a word.
"No, I came to explain." Lucia says wringing her hands anxiously.
"Well I make some more coffee and you can explain then mom." Callie says and the 3 Torres's head into the kitchen and sitting around the dining table. "Explain."
"When you first moved away I knew you needed it and I don't blame you for leaving. I knew you needed a fresh start, you deserved it. Your father is controlling I know that and I didn't agree with him when he somewhat forced you to marry Antonio."Lucias breathe shudders at the name. "I knew from a young age you weren't into men and yet I let Carlos have you marry a man. So when you moved out here I threatened to leave him if he didn't make things right but I noticed a couple of months ago that he wasn't trying hard enough and so I left him."
"You what?" Aria and Callie say in unison shock.
"I packed my bags and left, I'm staying at The Venue. Have been for months now." Lucia says proudly of herself.
"Why didn't you tell me mom?" Aria asks.
"I just wanted it kept quiet for a while, your father has gotten counseling and help. I think he's finally coming to terms with everything but who knows. I just wanted to come out here and let you girls know what's going on that's all. I understand if you don-." The back door opens and Alex steps in filling his travel coffee mug to go.
"Sorry ladies, the hospitals paging me." Alex says noticing a third woman at the table. "Alex Karev." He holds out his hand to shake.
"Lucia Torres." Lucia smiles back. "Nice to meet you."
"You too. I'll see you tonight babe. Love you." Alex says swooping down to kiss aria goodbye and then leaving quickly.
"Love you too." Aria calls back with a goofy grin.
"Since when have you been saying 'I love you'?" Callie asks.
"Bout a week." Aria shrugs nonchalantly but inside she's all giddy. Callie laughs and shakes her head turning back to her mom.
"As I was saying I understand if you won't forgive me straight away but I would really like to earn your forgiveness eventually."
Aria turns to Callie and watches her mull over their mom's words. Aria never really had a problem with her mother, she hated what happened to Callie but she always had a feeling her mother hated Antonio and always punished herself for it.
All three turn as they hear a squeak on the stairs to see Addison, hair disheveled and skimpy boxer shorts and a singlet on, slip in the kitchen pour two coffees smile at them and head upstairs again. Lucia shifts in her chair but stops moving when Callie's eyes turn back to her.
"I'll give you a second chance mom but that's all your getting ok."
"It's the only chance I need I promise." Lucia beams.
"Ok." Callie gets up and hugs her mom, feeling her mother's arms around her feels amazing. "How about some breakfast?"
"I'll make it, I haven't cooked since moving into a hotel." Lucia says making her way to the kitchen.
"How long are you in ton mom?" Aria asks making another coffee.
"Only a couple of days, I've got the palm beach charity ball on the weekend." Lucia tells them while pulling things out of the fridge.
"Well we should do a dinner her tonight then, I'll invite teddy and Tim and Alex as well. Its Addison's last night here. Maybe we can just get takeout because we have to work." Callie says thinking of ideas.
"I can cook." Lucia jumps in.
"Are you sure mom?"
"It's no trouble, just let me know how many people."
"It will be 9 including you. But make sure you don't put tomatoes in anything, Teddy's pregnant and she gets really bad heart burn from them." Callie says standing up. "I'm going to get Indie and wake Arizona up."
Callie leaves Aria and her mom to chat as she races up stairs to their bedroom as Arizona steps out of the bathroom. "My mom's here." Arizona stops in her tracks.
"Is this a good thing?" Arizona asks cautiously.
"I don't know, I want to believe it is." Callie says as Arizona pulls her down to sit on the bed and tell her everything Lucia told her.
"Wow, that's a lot. I hope your mom is telling the truth." Arizona says rubbing soothing patterns on Callie's arm.
"Me too." They look u as their bedroom door opens.
"Hi sorry but this little one was crying her lungs out." Lexie says handing a red eyed Indie to Callie. Big brown eyes with tears in them look up and her little nose sniffs before burying her face in Callie's hair.
"Oh mija, sorry baby. Thanks Lex I turned off the monitor." Callie says sheepishly.
"No problem." And with that Lexie leaves.
"So how bout meeting my mom and some breakfast?" Callie asks chuckling.
"Sounds good babe. I'll get dressed and see you down there." Arizona says feeling nervous about meeting the mother.
"You'll be fine babe. See you down there."
