Arizona's POV

The next day I picked up Callie at the hospital and took the boys with me. We bought a big bunch of flowers and some chocolate which DJ insisted on giving to Callie himself. The discharge process went smoothly but she was still looking very weak and pale so we straight to the hotel so that she could put her feet up and get some rest. I led her into her room and helped her onto the bed and insisted she lay down. She was impressed by the swanky room and laughingly said it was better than a tent in the woods where there are many many bugs.

I laughed and told her some people would do anything to avoid sleeping in a tent. She certainly had…..in one day she had risked her life, saved DJ's and finally told me she was pregnant.

We ordered room service for lunch and after that I took the boys fishing so that Callie could take a nap. After much huffing and puffing we caught three fish and proudly brought them back to the hotel and insisted that the chef cook them for our dinner.

At dinner time trays were delivered to our room with fish cooked in olive oil and garlic sauce. The boys and I insisted they had cooked our fish but Callie laughingly rolled her eyes and insisted they weren't ours. We watched some old movies on TV after dinner in our PJ's and then turned in for an early night. I kept on checking in on Callie through the night adjusting her blanket, getting her a glass of water and making sure she was in no pain. I know it seemed like hovering but I couldn't help but worry and want to take care of her.

She thanked me next morning at breakfast. "You don't have to worry so much Arizona. I'm fine." She insisted.

"I'm sorry for being over-protective Callie but you just got out of the hospital yesterday." I said a little sheepishly.

It took her a few days to get her old zip back and by then our vacation had almost come to an end. We had a great time taking walks and fishing at the lake and thankfully the boys never mentioned the word rafts again.

Joanne had called as she had heard about DJ's accident and wanted to talk to Callie and thank her personally.

"She sounds like a nice person." Callie told me after talking to Joanne.

"Yep when she's sober." I playfully rolled my eyes.

"It must be hard for her though raising two boys without a father." She said tentatively.

"I am sure it is but drowning yourself in alcohol is not the answer." I insisted.

She seemed to sense that this was a sore topic for me and dropped it.

We went for a drive to the Squaw valley and took the ski lift up to the top and then back again.

Before we knew it, it was our last night of vacation and we were sitting in front of the fire place roasting marshmallows.

"Thank you for this holiday. This is exactly what I needed." Callie grinned.

"You are welcome." I leaned over and kissed her. I heard DJ giggle. I gave him a mock glare before smiling myself.

I then turned to Callie again. "What happens to us Callie? When we get back I mean." I chewed my lip nervously.

Callie's POV

"I don't know. What do you want to do?" I looked Arizona in the eye. The logical part of me felt it was not right to get into a relationship with Arizona knowing that if George came back, I would take him back for the baby's sake. The other side of me felt I had a right to move on with my life as George obviously had…..besides I really liked Arizona.

"What do I want to do?" Arizona smiled. "I want to spend time with you and do exciting things together and get to know each other better. I mean I already know you but I want to get to know every small thing about you. I want you to know me. And come January I want to be by your side and be a part of the baby's life if you'll have me and still need me to be there." She said with tears in her eyes.

"Why are you doing all this for me?" I asked still afraid. After all my abandonment issues because of George I couldn't believe someone actually wanted to stay with me.

"Because I love you and you make me feel alive again." She said simply. "I had once promised myself no kids and honestly part of me is still scared that I will fall in love with your baby and then lose it….but I am willing to take the chance. All I need is for you to be honest with me. If that means that you are keeping the door open for George to come back then I'm still wanting to take the chance. I'm telling you I'm willing to take the risk of losing you to have a life with you. Just please don't keep me out and not tell me what is going on in your head." She said with a mixture of seriousness and vulnerability.

"You're not scared to take the risk? If George comes back I have to let him in because of the baby." I say afraid of hurting her but wanting to be honest.

"I disagree with you. I don't feel you owe him anything after the way he treated you. But if you feel differently I respect that. I still stand by taking the risk because I love you."

As she said that I took her face in my hands and kissed her.
