Chapter Forty-Two

Callie's POV

The last thirty-six hours for me have been a whirlwind. From Arizona's insemination to the shooting at Seattle Grace, and now me in a hospital bed at Mercy West. I could barely sleep with the nurses coming in every hour or so to check on me, plus Arizona was basically staring at me the whole night to make sure I was all right. I didn't mean to scare her, I just did what I felt was right at the moment. When I look back on it, it probably wasn't my best decision and I'm lucky that things didn't end any uglier for myself. Earlier this morning the Chief came by to check on me and to tell who the shooter was. I knew I recognized him, and it turns out he was the spouse of a woman who died at the hospital a few weeks ago. I didn't operate on his wife myself, but I did remember he took the loss very badly, worse then I have seen over my years working at the hospital. Chief Webber told me that the man committed suicide and the other people hurt were fellow surgeons, luckily no fatalities. All my hospital care will be taken over at Seattle Grace by the time I come in for my check up next week. Bailey came by to say hello and to talk to Arizona in the hall for a little bit. I'm not sure what they discussed, but whatever it was Arizona seemed a bit relieved when she came back into the room. Arizona has been at my side the entire time and I couldn't be more grateful. I told her she could go home this morning to freshen up, but she declined and said that we would go home together later this afternoon. I have yet to have my first psych exam, and I'm a little nervous. I don't like talking to other people, especially strangers, about my problems but the Chief said it was protocol and everyone has to go through it. Especially me since I was shot, and for that reason I understand. The police are coming by to take my statement as well, which should be interesting. I have no desire to recall the events of yesterday. I just want to get home, healed, and back to my normal life.

"Mark texted asking if he should bring Sof by now, or later when we go home?" Arizona says from her seat next to me. We've been sitting in comfortable silence this morning, I've attempted to eat some breakfast and watch a little television, while Arizona has been on her phone and just making sure I'm okay. I have a feeling she has something to say, so I decide to take a jab at it.

"I think he should wait until we return home. Sofia spends too much time in a hospital already. It would be nice for her to see Mark, even as unexpected as it is" I answer. I put the television on mute and look at Arizona. She looks as beautiful as ever, but something is bugging her and I can tell. "What's on your mind, Arizona?"

"Huh?" She says looking up from her phone where she is typing away.

"I asked, what's on your mind? You look a little preoccupied."

"Well of course I'm preoccupied, Calliope. You're lying in a hospital for Christ sake!" She says with a sudden outburst.

"Okay…" I say tentatively. "Arizona, I told you I'm sorry about everything. This isn't something I planned."

She lets out a huff, "Not funny, Calliope." Arizona says giving me a stern look.

"Sorry…"

"Please stop saying sorry! I've heard that enough lately!" She says standing up all of a sudden. Before she can walk to the other side of the room I take her hand and pull her to sit on my bed.

"Babe, I need you to look at me and tell me what's wrong." I say calmly. Party because I don't want to enrage her anymore, and party because I'm still a little weak. She brings up one of her legs to sit on and turns to face me. Her demeanor softens and I can tell she's thinking of what to say.

"I don't want to wait."

"Wait for what?"

"I want to marry you now…maybe in a day or two when I can drive us to city hall, but I want to marry you now." My fiancée says with a small grin.

"Why all of a sudden? I thought you…we wanted to wait?"

"Yesterday was just awful, Calliope. I know you are the one who got hurt, but for me I felt like I was practically dying inside. I get Mark's call; I rush over to the hospital to look for you and Sofia. I was happy and relieved that our baby girl was okay, but then it came to you. I didn't know what happened, where you were, if you were okay, and when I did find out that information I still couldn't see you! I was barely keeping it together, but I had Sofia to think about and I didn't want to scare her more then I assume I already did. If for some other reason the Chief and Bailey weren't there who knows when I would've been able to get to you. As cliché as it sounds, life is short and I don't want to wait another day not being your wife. You're my best friend, my lover, my co-parent, my everything, and I want to make if official. I want to be your wife. I want us to go down to city hall and fill out a marriage license." Arizona finishes and I'm at a lost for words. Of course I want to marry her, but if yesterday didn't happen we wouldn't be in this position.

"What about Tim?"

"Tim will understand, in fact I'm sure he'll be thrilled!"

"If this is about Mark being my emergency contact, I can change that. I just honestly forgot."

"Callie this isn't about that…why do I have a feeling you don't want to do this." She says getting uneasy, and letting go of my hand.

"It's not that…but if yesterday didn't happen we wouldn't even be talking about this."

"Ummm…okay, so not the response I thought I was going to get." She says shaking her head. "Even so, yesterday did happen Calliope and as horrible as it was I'm grateful that it woke me up. I've been putting off the wedding for Tim; it's not what I want though...I mean it is, but it isn't." She says cocking her head to the side. "I was happy to wait, and glad you were too but it's time I do what I truly want. I want us to get married. We can have a ceremonial wedding and reception later, but I want to do this. Don't you?" She asks slightly hesitant. When I take all the outside noise away, the only thing that left is Arizona and I. There is nothing more in this world that I want then to call Arizona Robbins my wife. I never imagined finding her love and now that I have it, I want to make it permanent. Yes, there are other factors to consider, like Tim, her parents, my father and sister, other logistics, but I need to take a page from Arizona's book and think about what I want. What I want is to be married to Arizona Robbins.

"Yes." I say with a big smile. "Yes. Let's go down to city hall and get married!"

"Oh my gosh, really?!" She says excitedly.

"Of course! I can't believe I even doubted it." I pull her down for a searing kiss, and when we're done with both have matching smiles on our faces. "It feels like we got engaged all over again." I say with a laugh.

"You're right…it kind of does."

"Does this make us selfish?"

"What do you mean?" She questions.

"I mean what about your parents, and my sister, our friends and stuff? Don't you want a big white dress and reception? What about the honeymoon? We haven't even discussed that."

"All valid points, but let's just do this for us. Okay? Look, we don't even have to tell people we're married yet. For legal purposes we will be, but we can still plan a nice wedding. In fact, I insist because I want to see you in a white dress…even more I want to be the one to take you out of the white dress at the end of the night." She says in a sexy tone. "So if this is us being selfish, then let's be selfish!"

"I love you so much right now." I say giving her another kiss. In the back of my mind I'm still thinking about Tim. He said he would get back to me about his time off, and when he does I can officially start planning our wedding. When that happens I can tell Arizona the time frame and we can plan it together. I still want Tim showing up to be a surprise. It will be more fun that way, plus I don't even think I could successfully pull off a surprise wedding. A light knock at the door breaks us apart and a middle-aged woman comes in.

"Dr. Torres?"

"Mhmm, that's me."

"I'm Dr. Hall. Is this an okay time for me to begin my psychology examination?" She says looking between Arizona and I.

"Of course, sorry. Come in." I say wavering her in the room. Arizona stands up to greet her.

"Hi, I'm Arizona, her fiancée. Should I stay or go?"

"Pleasure to meet you. For the first discussion it would be best if it were just Dr. Torres and I. We will probably have some follow up meetings that you are more then welcomed to join if Dr. Torres would like."

"No problem, I'll just step out and call your sister." She says talking to me. "I meant to call her yesterday, but I got interrupted."

"Okay, tell her I'm fine. If she offers to come out, tell her it's okay and that I'm going home tonight anyway. Also, can you let Addison know?"

"Sure thing. I'll be back." She gives me an innocent kiss and says goodbye to Dr. Hall. Dr. Hall pulls up a chair next to me and gets some pen and paper out.

"Ready to begin, Dr. Torres?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

The conversation with the psychologist lasted for forty minutes and soon after the police came by and took my statement. They said I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, the shooter was looking for the Chief primarily. Arizona was in the room when the police were there and she got emotional listening to everything that happened. After they left Arizona and I waited for Dr. Goldman to come in and discharge me.

"Do you want to stop and pick up some dinner on the way home?" Arizona inquires.

"Maybe we could just order pizza or something. I'm just anxious to get in my bed."

"Okay…how are you feeling? Still in some pain?"

"A little, it's not bad, my left shoulder just feels sore. Maybe a bath or something would help me relax."

"Let's talk to the doctor and see what he says."

"You do know that I'm a doctor, right?"

"Yeah, but this time you are the patient, and I heard that doctors make the worst patients so I want to see what Dr. Goldman says." She says from her seat next to me. Five minutes later a nurse comes in and changes my bandages and gets me ready for discharge, at the same time Lexie stops by my room too.

"Hey, Callie." The younger Grey quietly says entering the room.

"Lexie! Come in." I say sitting up in the bed a little more once the nurse leaves. Arizona moves to sit next to me on the bed, and Lexie takes her seat. "How are you?"

"I really should be asking you that question. I'm fine. Look, I just want to say I'm sorry. I never meant to put you in that position. You have Sofia and Arizona; I just kind of blanked and didn't know how to react. I'm so sorry, and to you too Arizona."

"Hey, it's really okay. No one could predict that situation. I'm glad that we're both okay. I didn't even get the worst of it, another doctor was shot in the chest, but luckily he's going to be fine." I say genuinely. "You helped me through it and I couldn't be more thankful."

"Really, it was nothing." She says dismissively.

"No, it wasn't nothing, Lexie." Arizona says. "You helped save Calliope, I'm sure things would've been different if you weren't there to help her. I'm sorry how I acted yesterday towards you. I just had a lot going on…"

"It's totally understandable. No hard feelings. I'm just happy Callie is okay."

"Ladies, is this a good time?" Dr. Goldman says peaking his head into the room.

"Yeah, please come in."

"I'm going to go, Callie. I'm sure I'll see you back at Seattle Grace soon enough."

"Without a doubt. Thanks again." Lexie smiles and exits the room.

"Alright, Dr. Torres you are free to go home, but you need to be careful. For the first couple forty-eight hours try and stay laying down either on a bed or couch or something. Then after that you can move around more, walking around the house is okay. I wouldn't drive until you have your first appointment at Seattle Grace. Talk to them and come to a conclusion. I'm assuming you'll complete your physical therapy at Seattle Grace, and they will give you more instructions. Considering everything you should be back at work in three weeks to a month. That being said, some of the heavier orthopedic tools used in the operating room may be a little uncomfortable so be aware of that. All in all, just don't put much pressure on that left shoulder for a few weeks. I'm sending you home with some bandages." He says putting clear plastic bag in a chair. "You may not need all of them, but it should be enough. Change you bandages three times a day to limit infection. You have a small scar that I closed up on the back of your shoulder, but just use them for cautionary purposes. Everything is pretty much self-explanatory, and you are a doctor. I put some instructions in the bag with the bandages. If you have any questions you can call me."

"Is she allowed to take a bath?" Arizona asks.

"Yes, but try not to mix many bath soaps or anything. I don't want them to possibly infect her scar. A relaxing, warm bath will help soothe her muscles. You can lose the sling in two days as well, it's just a stabilizer, but I trust you'll be okay."

"Thank you so much, doctor."

"My pleasure, Dr. Torres. It's unfortunate that we had to meet under these circumstances, but nonetheless I'm glad to have met you. You are talked about highly by your peers, and I hear a force to be reckoned with in the medical field. I'm just happy your specialty is orthopedics, so my job is safe." He says laughing. "Take care of yourself."

"I will." Dr. Goldman leaves and Arizona gets of my bed.

"How about we get you home. We can have dinner with Sofia and then get you a nice bath." Arizona says walking around the room and getting changed out of the hospital gown.

"Sounds perfect."

For about two and a half weeks Arizona practically waited on me hand and foot. She made it seem like I couldn't move and brought everything to me. For the first couple of days it was nice, but towards the end it got annoying. Regardless, I love her for it and I know I would do the same thing. During that time I went into the hospital, Seattle Grace, for my one week check up that went perfectly. I also met with Dr. Hall again. I started a couple of hours of physical therapy and I'm honestly feeling great. I can't wait until I can get back to work next week. I'll be on consults and some light surgeries at first, then I will slowly be worked back into all ortho surgeries. Today was Arizona's first day of work. When she left this morning she was excited and nervous. Sofia helped me make a nice breakfast for her this morning, but she couldn't keep it down. I guess it was the first day of school jitters, although I didn't think that applied to teachers. Today was a normal day for Sofia and I. We mostly hung out around the house, and then went to the park a little bit. Fall is basically here so our outdoor time will soon be limited. After lunch she went down for a nap and I just searched around on my computer. Looking at a few wedding articles, just to get some general ideas, and also looking for a babysitter. I know Arizona isn't one hundred percent on the idea, but it doesn't hurt to look. If I think I find someone worthy enough I'll talk to her again about it. Now I'm in the living room waiting on the couch for Arizona to come home, and Sofia is playing the floor. She is supposed to be back by now, but maybe because it's her first day back she's running a little late. As soon as I pull out my phone to send her a quick text, I hear her put a key in the lock.

"I know, I know, I'm late. I had to make a quick stop. Give me five minutes and then we can head out." She says in a rush. I stand up to greet her and give her a kiss.

"It's okay, we still have about two hours…we can always go tomorrow."

"No, I want to do this today. You had a great check up at doctors yesterday, and you're almost back to work. I'm so proud of you and I love you. I want to do this today, I'm tired of waiting."

"Me too, and I love you too."

"Good. Now give me five minutes, just going to change my top then we can head out."

"Okay. Sofia and I will be in the car." Close to forty minutes later all three of us are seated outside a courtroom in city hall. We obtained our marriage license a few minutes ago, and now we are waiting to go before a judge and officially become wife and wife. "I'm really glad we're doing this, Arizona. I'm happy that it's just you and me with our baby girl. I know we are still going to have a ceremony and everything, but I like that it's just the three of us."

"I know exactly what you mean. I kind of wish we did this earlier." She says holding Sofia in her lap.

"Torres. Robbins. Follow me please." A lady dressed in a suit says to us. We get up and follow her into the courtroom. "The Judge will see you now." She motions for us to stand behind a table, and Arizona puts Sofia in the seat right behind us.

"Mommy?" Sof says putting her hands out for Arizona again once she puts her down.

"Sof, I need you to sit quiet for five minutes, okay? Can you do that for me and mama?"

"Kay."

"Good girl." Arizona gives her a kiss on the head and comes to stand next to me again.

"Good afternoon, ladies. It says here that you want you to get married today. Is that correct?"

"Yes, your Honor." I say firmly.

"Very well then. If I could have your marriage license with both signatures, and your state identification cards please." A bailiff comes over to collect our items and takes them to the Judge.

"Do you, Calliope Torres, take Arizona Robbins to be your lawfully wedded wife? If so please say 'I do'".

"I do." I say with a huge grin.

"Do you, Arizona Robbins, take Calliope Torres to be your lawfully wedded wife? If so, please say "I do'".

"I do." She says with a smile that matches mine. The bailiff returns our ID cards and Arizona and I join hands.

"With that, it is on this date that I, Judge Williams, recognize the union of marriage between Calliope Torres and Arizona Robbins. It's with pleasure and the power vested in me by the great state of Washington that I pronounce you two wife and wife. Congratulations." He says with a warm smile. He puts his signature on our marriage license and slams down his gavel. "Bring in the next couple." He says to someone behind us. We quickly get Sofia and walk out of the courtroom and out of city hall. Once outside and the fresh air hit us, we stop and take everything in.

"We're married, Calliope."

"I know, pretty great right?"

"It's more then great…it's….it's awesome! Right Sof!?" She says giving her a kiss on the cheek. "You just made the happiest person in the world, Calliope."

"God, me too. I love you so much, it's actually crazy."

"I really want to kiss my wife."

"Your wife would really like to kiss you too." I say pulling her towards me and cup her cheek. Our lips connect in a deep kiss; full of all the emotions we are feeling in this moment. Sofia's presence alerts us that we are not alone and we break apart. "A celebration is in order, where would my wife like to go for dinner?"

"Anywhere my wife would like to go." She quips right back.

Back at the house a few hours later I go to give Sofia a bath and put her down for bed. When I come back into our bedroom Arizona is changing in the bathroom. Waiting for her to join me in bed, I check my phone before putting it on the charger. I see that I have an e-mail from Tim.

Hey Callie!

Hope all is well. I submitted the paper work for some time off and it came through! I should be home in three months. Just our luck, it's in time for the holidays. I will have five weeks off. I guess all my saved up time paid off. I will get back to you with the exact date, but for sure I'll be home in December. Hope that helps, can't wait to see everyone. By the way, I plan on telling my mom and dad, since I'll be flying into Maryland. I'll tell them not to say anything to Arizona. Expect a phone call from my mother though; I'm sure she will be thrilled! Much love to Sofia. See you soon.

Your future brother-in-law,

Sergeant Timothy Robbins

As if this day couldn't get any better! Tim is coming home! It seems everything worked out for a reason. That's why I never mess with the universe.

"Hey Arizona, how would you feel about a winter wedding? Like a winter wonderland theme or something?" I call out.

"Huh?" She says opening the door and coming out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

"Let's have a December wedding!"

"Sounds good, babe. That gives us what, like three months? Seems reasonable."

"Great! Now come to bed. It's our first night together as wife and wife." I say patting the bed. She ignores my request and just stands there looking anxious.

"So you know earlier when you said you were happy it was the three of us at the courthouse?"

"Uh yeah…"

"Well actually it was four." She says biting her lip nervously.

"What? It was you, me, and Sof…I guess you could count the Judge since he signed off on everything, but…"

"Calliope, I'm pregnant."

Yeah, this day definitely just got better.

AN: So a lot kind of happened in this chapter. I wanted to get some things moving. Again with the pregnancy stuff, not an expert. I hope it isn't too far fetched. Callie and Arizona will have a wedding ceremony with dresses, vows, dancing…everything, personally I'm not a big fan of all that stuff, but it seems fitting for the story. Besides that, they are married! Yay! I'm thinking a celebration is in order….especially with Arizona's good news. Here's to hoping I can write some more sexy times! Thanks for reading!
