So, we still have some pieces in this puzzle to fix. It's getting harder and harder for me to write now. It's like I am emotionally drained myself. Hopefully it doesn't show too much so you'll think it's boring and bad to read…

CHAPTER 27

Oh, why you look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now

Don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

Cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do

Nothing you confess

Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

"Hey", Callie said soothingly and hugged the blonde tightly where they lay in bed. "What's wrong? Talk to me. Please?"

Arizona didn't manage to get any words out. It seemed that every emotion in her body and all tension from the insecurity she had been caring inside these last weeks was finally letting go of her. She cried and sobbed and to Callie it was heartbreaking to listen to the blonde's almost desperate sounds. The brunette didn't really know what to do except to hold Arizona and just letting her know that she would never ever let her go again.

"I-I…there's nothing wrong", Arizona stuttered with a broken voice. "I'm just so happy. That's all."

"Please don't cry then", Callie almost pleaded with a soft whisper in the blonde's ear. "It breaks my heart when you're crying like this."

The blonde turned around and pressed herself close to Callie and buried her face in the brunette's chest and a few minutes later the crying had subsided.

"You know, when you break in to tears right after the most amazing sex we probably ever have had…Well, let's just say that it makes me a little concerned", Callie said softly still holding Arizona tightly while she played with her fingers in the blonde's hair.

Arizona exhaled sharply and closed her eyes enjoying the warmth and safety from being in Callie's arms.

"I thought I lost you. Forever. And somehow I haven't let myself feel how close of losing you it was. But now, lying here in your arms again…and the thought of that I could've lost THIS for good." Arizona's voice trailed off. "It's just so overwhelming..."

"What was it that you couldn't tell me in a letter, phone call or an email?" Callie questioned. "In your last letter you wrote that there was something you were going back home to tell me. What was it?"

"This", Arizona whispered and lifted her enough so she could kiss the brunette tenderly. "This was what I was going to tell you."

Callie moaned softly in to the kiss. Arizona's tongue soon demanded a gentle entrance in to her mouth and she opened it just enough to let the blonde take control over the kiss.

"I need you so much", Arizona breathed out between kisses that were growing more intense with every second. "I want you again."

"Mmmm", Callie sighed out when the blonde moved her lips from her mouth down to her jaw line.

Arizona pressed herself even more against Callie's warm and naked body. God, this was heaven! She couldn't imagine anything else. It was electric. Amazing. Stunning.

Callie couldn't help but squirm under Arizona's gentle touches. She felt the familiar tingling all over again and the need for the blonde was almost unbearable. Arizona continued her journey down Callie's neck and shoulder with her tongue and made sure to pay a little extra attention to the spots on the brunette's body that she knew was extra sensitive for her girlfriend. The blonde felt success when she heard Callie breathing increase in to her ear and then she lifted her again and pushed her lips back to meet with the brunette's. Tongues wetly tangled with each other, challenging each other to take control. Their kissing soon exploded and the passion for each other soon reached a higher level. Callie placed her hands on Arizona's shoulder, gently pressing the blonde to lie on her back. Using her tip of the tongue she licked a path down on the blonde's body starting from right up Arizona's chest, down between the valley of her breasts and continuing south cross the flat but yet so soft skin on her stomach and when she reached her destination she gently opened the blonde's thighs, spreading them wide and then she dove in.

Arizona threw her head back, chewing on her lower lips, arching her back, pressing her wet and wanting core against Callie's hot mouth.

"Aaaah!" the blonde whimpered and grabbed the beds cover with both of her hands holding it so tightly making her knuckles turn white. "God! Just keep going…I need you!"

And Callie had no intention to stop what she was doing. She flicked her tongue aggressively against the tender spot between the blonde's thighs and was rewarded with several cries of pleasure. Arizona then reached down with one of her hands to let it grabbed a part of Callie's hair. The brunette sucked, licked and kissed and suddenly Arizona's release hit with full force. The blonde couldn't hold back her scream of pleasure this time and it escaped from her mouth in a series of whimpers, cries and moans where Callie's name were repeated again and again and again. Callie waited for Arizona to come down from her high before she kissed her way up again finally reaching the blonde's lips again. Arizona didn't wait. She flipped them over rather forcefully having Callie on her back and almost immediately started to kiss her way down on Callie's body. When Arizona's lips reached Callie's lower stomach she let her hands make their way up to the brunette's chest and started to caress her girlfriends breast gently at the same time her tongue sneaked it's way up and in to Callie's heated wetness.

"Yes. Oh God yessssss! Callie cried out and buckled her hips in an attempt to meet the pressure from the blonde's tongue.

Arizona swept her tongue back and forth, adding just the amount of pressure she had come to learn was necessary to send Callie in to heavenly pleasure and a few moments later she could feel the brunette explode in to her mouth.

Arizona grabbed the beds cover and took it with her when she crawled up the brunette's body again. Quickly settling in to cuddle up with Callie she placed the warm cover over them.

"I'm guessing you're not up for dinner with our lovely colleagues?" Callie said after finally regaining control over her breath again.

Arizona giggled softly and brushed the tip of her nose against Callie's cheek.

"I have no intention to go anywhere. I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be right now. I'm not sure if I could move even if I wanted to."

"Good", Callie stated. "Then we're on the same page."

For a while they just lay in a comfortable silence holding each other and looking in to each other's eyes enjoying the view of one another they both had in vision for the moment. Placing small, soft kisses on each other lips while sometimes hugging each other tightly or brushing their noses together made them both experience a feeling of a security in their relationship that they never had been aware of even could exist between two human beings. They were connected to each other now in ways that they hadn't been before.

"I feel whole again", Arizona whispered and looked deeply in to Callie's eyes. "I've got the part of myself back again that was lost right the second I stepped in that plane leaving for Africa. My heart was broken then and now it's in one piece. I got it back. And I love you so much for being mine again."

Callie felt herself melt to the blonde's words.

"I can't live without you", she said softly. "I tried and I failed and now I'm never going to let go of you again. And I love you so much for being back in my arms again. That means that my heart also is in one piece again."

"If that's the case then I have something for you", Arizona said and released herself from Callie's arm and got up from the bed.

Callie looked expectantly at the blonde while she made her way to her bag beside the bed.

"What is it?" the brunette asked curiously.

"This", Arizona answered and turned around with a determined look on her face while holding up something in front of her to let Callie discover what it was.

Callie exhaled in surprise. Her heart flip-flopped when she realized what Arizona held in her hand. It was the necklace. Their necklace. The blonde simply held it in her slender fingers letting the thin chain of gold with the heart of gold swing back and forth in front of her. Callie didn't answer. She was too emotional at that moment. Instead she got up from the bed and walked over to her own bag. A few moments later she turned to Arizona and held up the necklace's match. And with still no words being said the two women made their way to each other and helped each other putting the necklaces back on to were they belonged.
