Arizona pulls up into the garage and presses the butting so the garage door closes. She ponders on whether or not to leave indie asleep in her car seat or bring her inside. Checking her watch and seeing that its only 4:30 and Kelly said she wouldn't go down for her nap today she decides not to move her. the garage is warm enough she turns the car light off puts a blanket over the little girl leaving the car door open and the connecting door to the house open so she can hear her when she wakes.

"Something smells amazing." Arizona says coming through the door into the kitchen.

"Oh hello dear, I may have gone a bit over board but in my defence I haven't cooked in ages." Lucia says looking at all the food across the island in the kitchen. "No Callie?"

"She got stuck in surgery, should be home at 6." Arizona sighs and digs out the white wine in the fridge. "Do you want one?" She asks holding up the bottle.

"Oh yes please. I'm surprised the day care is open that late although I guess it would have to be for all the busy surgeons." Lucia says going back to the stove.

"Oh I picked up indie today she's just asleep and I didn't want to wake her. We will be able to hear her when she wakes and has had enough of the car, believe me." Arizona laughs thinking about all the times indie has screamed when she woke up and no one was there instantly. "Good set of lungs on that girl." She says making Lucia laugh.

"Calliope had good lungs too, I remember she had the worst ear infections as a baby and wouldn't sleep unless I was holding her. When I would put her down she would just scream and scream, we have a huge house and it just echoed through the whole house. It would wake aria and then I would have two children hanging off me." Lucia says

"Sounds like a handful." Arizona giggles and makes sure she doesn't mention where Carlos might have been. "Tim and I didn't get sick much but when we did the other would without a doubt catch it. It still like that embarrassingly enough."

"You and Tim close?"

"Creepily close." Aria announces walking into the kitchen area. "I think it's a twin thing."

"yeah, it takes a little to get used to." Arizona laughs pouring a glass of wine for Aria.

"I don't think I would have survived if I had twins, the Torres genes are strong enough without having two." Lucia jokes. Three women fall into conversation as the older Torres continues to cook.


Lucia sat back in her chair and watched the table thrive in in jokes and conversation. Her eyes flick towards aria, Alex's arm on the back of her chair as she leans into him while talking to Addison. She hasn't seen Aria this happy in well ever, she had boyfriends but hasn't seen Aria this happy around any of them.

Lucia moves her eyes across the other side of the table to see Callie's hand rubbing Arizona's back, both women smiling at Indie while Arizona fed her, tim on the other side pulling faces at the little girl. The guilt that Lucia has runs deep in her bones, how she let Callie marry that man when she didn't want to was beyond her. Lucia's stomach twist painfully thinking about all the time she saw bruises on Callie's arms but pretended they weren't there and acted like nothing was the matter. Feel her throat close up she quietly excuses herself from the table and makes her way to the bathroom.

Callie watches her mom walk out of the dining room with her head down. "I'll be right back." Callie whispers to Arizona and gets a nod back. Standing up and following the direction her mom went she sees the bathroom door closed so she knocks softly. "Mom, are you alright?"

"I-I'm fine dear, I'll be out in a sec." Callie hears through the door so she waits outside for her. A minute later the door opens to find Lucia wiping her eyes with a tissue and jumps at seeing Callie.

"Calliope." Lucia shrieks hand flying to her chest.

"Sorry." Callie smiles sheepishly. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing dear, let's go back to the table." Lucia tries to brush it off.

"No mom, I can see you were crying, what's the matter?" Callie asks firmly.

"I feel terrible, awful and ashamed that I let you marry that monster and then let you stay with him even after I saw the bruises on your arms. "Lucia blurts out as tears roll down her cheeks. "It eats away at me all the time and I was watching you tonight and you seem so happy it makes me feel like I was the one holding you back from all that you have now."

Callie doesn't know what to say so she reaches forward and pulls her mom in for a hug. They stand there holding each other until Callie pulls back and smiles. "All that I have now, just remember that I eventually got it and I couldn't be more happier. I don't blame you for having to marry Antonio, if I hadn't I wouldn't have an amazing little girl to love more and more each day. Yeah I had trouble at first when I moved her but everyone at that table out there has helped me. I also saw someone for a couple of months at Arizona's asking and it helped. I'm a lot better now and overly happy to the annoyance of Aria."

"Really?" Lucia asks making Callie laugh.

"Yes mom really. I'm also really thankful that you came into my life again and that Indie has another grandparent to dote over her." Lucia smiles at that.

"It's her birthday soon, I'll come out for that."

"I was expecting you to but next time just come to the house, you can stay in the guest room." Callie tells her as they make their way back to the table, Lucia stopping at the doorway.

"Arizona's a real keeper. Don't let her go." Lucia says seriously.

"I don't plan on it mom." Callie reassures her and the go back to their seats.

"Hendricks from the board, he's total idiot. I cringe every time he says something stupid, well really every time he open his mouth." Tim tells everyone making Teddy laugh and roll her eyes.

"Why were you at that meeting?" Arizona asks scrunching her brows together in thought.

"Well if I told you I would have to kill you and I can't do that Zona."Tim says before cracking up.

"Will I know soon?" She asks excitedly.

"Yes Zona you'll know soon enough." Tim smiles kissing Teddy on the temple.


"I'll see you two in a month for Indies birthday okay." Lucia says pulling Arizona in for hug goodbye.

"Sounds good, I think we will just do a afternoon dinner thing considering she doesn't even know what's going on." Callie says hugging her mom goodbye.

"okay bye dears I'll call you when I land tomorrow." Lucia waves and walks out to the car waiting for her. Callie waves as she realizes its Phil that driving her mom.

"What happened when you both left the table tonight?" Arizona asks as they pick up all the wine glasses and set them on the bench.

"She was just having a moment but I cleared it all up now." Callie wraps her arm around Arizona's waist giving her a lingering kiss. "I want you naked in bed by the time I make it to the bedroom." She whispers in Arizona's ear while cupping her ass and squeezing. "Lying on your stomach."

Arizona nods as she feels wetness pool in her panties and races upstairs already pulling off her clothing.


Addison and Lexie lay with their limbs tangled and breathing hard as they try to catch their breath both lost in their thoughts.

"So, tomorrow morning?" Lexie says not being able to handle the silence anymore.

"Yup tomorrow morning." Addison says back, Lexie burying her face into Addison's red hair and breathing deeply.

"I'll miss you." Addison hears Lexie whisper and she squeezes a little tighter around Lexie.

"I'll miss you too but we will work it out between us with the long distance thing." Addison says trying to believe her own words.

"I hope so." Lexie feels tears spring to her eyes and kisses up Addison's neck as one hand cups abreast the other traveling south hoping to loose herself in the woman next to her for a couple of hours.

"This might be the saddest thing I've ever seen." Callie whispers to Arizona.

"I reckon." Arizona whispers back as they watch Addison and Lexie talking, their arms encircled around each other foreheads pressed against one another seemingly in their own world.

"I can't look away." Callie says getting a hum in agreement back.

"Flight 46cf8 to Los Angeles is getting ready to board please make your way to the gate." Echoes through the airport and Addison steals one more kiss before stepping back and hugging Arizona and Callie goodbye.

"Don't leave it so long next time to call ok." Addison says to Arizona. "I might come to visit it again and find out your married, I'll be pissed if I miss the wedding."

"Yeah well the phone goes both ways." Arizona shoots back.

"Alright, alright. Thank you for having me ladies and I'll call you when I land. I'll miss you all, mwah." Addison picks up her carry-on bag, kisses Lexie and walks away before the tears start.

Callie looks over and sees Lexie's lip quiver and wraps an arm around her shoulders. "Come on let's get you home." All three woman turn to leave as the red disappears from there sight.


Addison waits at the gate patiently to start boarding while trying to hold in the tears that will come eventually. She's not use to feeling like this, never has she fallen for someone so hard so fast let alone a newborn. There was just something about the way Lexie had this innocent doe eyed look but could definitely hold her own. She's tough but sweet and can hold her own, a freaking dynamite in bed even though she claims she never been with a woman. She's brought out of her musings by the ringing of her phone, finding it at the bottom of her bag she quickly answers.

"Hello."

"Oh good, I caught you its Richard Webber here." A gruff voice says.

"Morning sir. How are you?"

"Very well, thank you again for coming out here, I wanted to ask you something before anyone else." Richard says.

"Okay…?" Addison says hesitantly.

"I wanted to offer you the head of the neonatal department because I know you have board certifications in both Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Maternal and Fetal Medicine, Dr. Sallov has just informed me she is leaving and I couldn't think of anyone better for the job. A lot of work will be with Doctor Robbins but I know you two work well together. So will you take the job?" Addison is stunned, she moves to the side out of the line and before she even thinks about it there's words coming out of her mouth.

"I'll take it."


2 Weeks Later

"Hey guy's." Lexie beams walking up to Callie and Arizona at the nurses' station and hands them a coffee. There little friendship has formed since Addison has left , every morning one of them buys coffee and they meet up for a quick chat before starting there day.

"morning Lex, thank you. I've been here since three this morning." Arizona gulps down the coffee as Callie just sips.

"We get our new head neonatal today, I wonder who it is."

"Yeah I don't know who either Tim won't tell me even though I know he knows. "Arizona grumps. "I don't want to be stuck with an idiot or a douche."

Callie snorts and shokes on her coffee. "Richard won't hire anyone incompetent babe."

"Still… we meet them at like 3 this arvo and I have surgery in fifteen so I'll see you both later. Arizona reaches up on her tippy toes kissing Callie before walking to the surgical floor.

"She's grumpy." Lexie says making Callie laugh.

"She didn't get a lot of sleep last night and then got called in." Lexie just nods sipping her coffee. "Alright little grey I'll see you at lunch."

"Bye."

Callie just steps onto her department floor and her pager beeps calling her to cardio. Sighing she gets back on the elevator and rides down a level, the doors opening to find a very distraught pregnant teddy. "Teddy, whats the matter?" Callie asked concern strong in her voice.

"We had an accident. I didn't mean to I just… and then I turned… I-I…" Teddy spits out nearly hyperventilating.

"whoa Teddy deep breaths." Callie says calmly rubbing Teddy's back. "now tell me what happened."

"I broke it. I broke tim." Teddy whispers so no one an hear and Callie's face scrunches in confusion and then she gets it letting out a laugh.

"Seriously what happened?" She laughs thinking it's a joke.

"I broke IT." Callie's laughing stops dead at the seriousness in her voice.

"Where is he?" Callie asks. Teddy just pulls her towards the on-call room down the hall quickly closing the door behind them.

Callie sees Tim lying there with his arms chucked over his face as he breathes through pain. "Sweetie?" Teddy starts and he drops his arms.

"You paged Torres?" He asks shocked.

"I know she will keep it between us and not gossip."

"Okay." Tim whimpers as he moves to sit back on his elbows.

"I'm just going to take a look." Callie lifts the blanket and tits her head as Tim turns red and closes his eyes. "Yeah that's a penile fracture."

"I'm going to kill myself." Tim groans.

"I'm so sorry baby." Teddy says almost hysterical.

"Teddy sit down and breathe you're not doing any good for the twins, Tim is going to be fine but I do need to operate." She says calmly turning back to Tim. "I need to get in fast or you risk permanent damage."

"Oh god no permanent damage please." Tim closes his eyes and groans.

"I'll get you a wheel chair and Teddy can help you get dressed." Callie says heading out to find a wheel chair and having a little giggle to herself. Arizona is not going to believe this.


Tim groans and smacks his lips having a cotton taste in his mouth he feels a straw being put to his lips and takes a generous gulp. "Thanks." He rasps out and opens his eyes to find teddy smiling at his. Someone clears there throat and he looks down the end of the bed to see Callie standing with a folder in her hands and a beaming Arizona behind he. As their eyes lock a giggle bubbles up from Arizona's throat but cuts it off as she gets a glare from callie over her shoulder. "how did it go?"

"Perfect, it will be up and running in no time." Callie can't help herself and lets out a laugh with Arizona. "I'm sorry, it went smoothly, no complications but no sexy time till I give you the go ahead okay?" Callie arches her eyebrow and Tim and Teddy nod. "Good now we have a meeting to get to, I already let the chief know you need time off."

"Thanks Callie." Tim calls as her and Arizona leave.

"no teasing until he gets home." Callie says.

"Aw but…" Callie arches another eyebrow. "fine, no teasing till he gets home.

"I know your all busy but I just want to introduce you to our new team member, head of neonatal surgery here at Seattle Grace . Most of you know her Dr Addison Forbes Montgomery." Richard announces and the red head pokes her head in the door way smiling. Arizona squeals and claps jumping up to give her friend a massive hug.

"2 weeks we've been talking and you didn't say anything?"

Addison shrugs. "I wanted it to be a surprise." She smiles hugging Callie as well.

"Well congratulations, its going to be fun having you around." Callie says.

"Oh my god Addy you will nev-." Arizona stops as she feels a light tap on her bum and sees Callie point her head in the other direction. Arizona and Addison turn to see Lexie just staring at them. "Go, I'll tell you later." Arizona says and they watch Addison walk up to Lexie who practically jumps into Addison's arms.
