Chapter Forty-Three

Callie's POV

Two days ago I got married and found out that I'm going to be a mother to a second child! It seems like everything in my life is going perfect right now. I'm basically healed of my gun wound, I married my soul mate, and my lovely wife is pregnant. Next week I get to come back to Seattle Grace full time, but currently I'm here finishing up some physical therapy. Sofia is in daycare and Arizona is meeting for our first doctor's appointment since we found out the good news. It seems that our little nugget is already upsetting her mommy. This morning she woke up earlier than usual with some morning sickness. At first we thought it was just a one-time thing, but as soon as she came back to bed she was up again in the bathroom and I sat with her next to the toilet. I brought her some ginger ale and crackers from downstairs to hopefully calm her stomach, and I think it worked because we were able to get a few more hours of sleep.

I took a quick shower after physical therapy and started to make my way up to Dr. Caplan's office, but ran into my wife before I got on the elevator.

"Hey you. I was just on my way up to meet you. You're early." I say pleasantly surprised.

"I left right after work and traffic was surprisingly light, can we talk for a minute before we go up?"

"Sure, of course…is everything alright?" I ask know a little concerned.

"Yeah…let's just go somewhere private."

"Okay…" I take my wife's hand a lead her down the hallway to an on-call room that is luckily empty. Once inside I close the door and face her. "So what's up?" Her face changes from serious to a playful grin and she comes up to kiss my firmly on the lips. The momentum of the kiss pushes me back and the back of my legs hit the small bed. I sit down and Arizona sits in my lap straddling me.

"I wanted to kiss you." She says sheepishly when we break for air.

"You could've just told me that, I was freaking out internally."

"Sorry babe, I didn't want to just jump you in the middle of the hospital." She says pulling my top up and over my head leaving me in just my bra.

"Hmmm…are these the pregnancy hormones already? If so, I'm kind of liking this." I say wrapping my arms around her and running my hands up and down her smooth, creamy skin.

"I think this is just me wanting to be with my wife…" Arizona starts kissing my neck and unhooks my bra releasing my breasts.

"You know we have a doctor's appointment in like ten minutes, right?"

"So I guess we should be quick."

"In that case, then you need to be topless too." I take off her top and bra too and start kissing again. She puts her arms around my neck holding me close and my hands travel to her bottom cupping her ass and bring her closer to me. When are our chests come in contact we both moan at the feeling. Our kisses become open-mouthed and when I feel her tongue I know I need more of her. "Stand up and take off your pants." She reluctantly gets up and strips her pants leaving her in her underwear and quickly sits back down in my lap.

"Is this better?" My wife asks sexily.

"Yes, much better because now I can do this." I slip my hands in her underwear and squeeze her round flesh. She grabs my breasts with her hands and starts massaging them.

"You feel good, Ari."

"So do you, baby. I miss not having your hands on me."

"Trust me, I want my hands on you all the time." We begin kissing again and she starts grinding her hips into me more rapidly. She takes one of my hands from her ass and guides it to the front of her underwear. She dips our hands together in her underwear and I immediately feel her wetness.

"I want you touch me here." She whispers seductively in my ear. She pulls her face back and looks at in the eyes when she removes her hand and puts one finger in her mouth and sucks on it slowly. She puts another in my mouth and I close my eyes tasting her sweet juices.

"Mmmm you taste so good. I love you so much, Ari" She smiles and we kiss again. I rub my hand along her slit collecting all that she's giving me. My palm applies pressure to her clit and she pushes down trying to gain more friction. I take her tongue into my mouth again and enter her with two fingers at the same time. She moans against my mouth, and I smirk knowing I can make her feel this way. She starts rocking against my hand and has to pull her mouth away to get some air. I curl my fingers inside of her and she rides my hand even faster.

"God yes, Callie…right there baby…don't stop."

A light chime goes off and I realize that's my phone.

"Babe, we have to go. That was my reminder of the doctor's appointment I put in my phone." I slow down my movements, but I quickly feel a death grip on my wrist.

"Don't you dare move your hand. I'm almost there, baby."

"We're going to be late, and I had to get us an appointment on short notice."

"I swear Callie if you don't finish and let me come we won't be having sex for a while, and that would suck considering we just got married and I'm going to be a hormonal pregnant lady for the next couple of months." I gulp at her seriousness and return to what I was doing. Ten minutes later we are in the doctor's office, after a quick pit stop at the bathroom to clean up.

"Ladies, it's great to see you again. I hear you're pregnant Arizona."

"Yes I am…well we are. I took multiple pregnancy tests and they were all positive." She says from her seat on the patient table with a hospital gown on. I'm right next to her holding her hand.

"Well that's always good. I'm going to take a blood test for confirmation." He takes some blood and passes it off to a nurse to have it ran to the lab. A few minutes later she is back with the results. "Yep, you are surely pregnant. Congratulations you two!" He says happy for us. "I'm going to take a look under your gown to make sure you all good down there then you can get dressed and both of you can join me in my office so we can talk about the next steps and get you a prescription for some prenatal pills."

Once we are doing with our appointment we go to daycare to collect Sofia together. She was surprised to see both of moms pick her up, but enjoyed the extra attention. We decided to go out to dinner, so Arizona took Sofia in her car and I followed them in mine. One the way there my phone rings and I answer it through the car system.

"Hello?"

"Callie, it's Barbara. How are you?"

"Barbara, hi! It's good to hear your voice."

"Yours too darling, I heard you have some important news to tell me." For a minute I'm not sure what she's talking about. We just found out Arizona's pregnant a few days ago, and I doubt she told her mother already. It's too early to tell anyone.

"I do?"

"Of course you do! Tim called and said he was coming home for your wedding! That means you guys have a date right?"

"Right, the wedding! Not a specific date, but we settled on December when Tim comes home."

"That's wonderful! I almost cried when Tim told me what you did about the letter and phone call that was so nice Callie. It was very thoughtful; Arizona is going to love the surprise. She's going to love it even more when she finds out what you did."

"I just want her to be happy."

"You make her plenty happy…by the way how are you? Arizona told me what happened at the hospital and I just couldn't believe it."

"I'm good. I should be back at the hospital next week. It just made us closer. She took great care of me. I'm lucky to have her in my life." Considering we got married, yeah I'd say it made us closer. We haven't talked about telling people, so I'm not sure if I should tell her but I decide against right now. I'll talk to Arizona about it later.

"I guess there's a positive in all situations. I wanted to come and help out around the house and with Sofia, but she said she didn't need my help."

"I didn't know that, you are more then welcome to come to Seattle anytime."

"Really? Well now that you mention it, I was thinking about coming up in a few weeks to help plan the wedding and see my grandbaby. Only if you don't mind."

"No, that would be great. I'll talk to Arizona about it and we can find a date. I'm sure we could use some help planning everything, the wedding will be here soon. She just went back to work so extra help would nice."

"Excellent! Maybe I'll get a room at the T Hotel seeing that I've never stayed there before. What Daniel doesn't know won't hurt him." She says lightheartedly.

"I could definitely get you a room, but you should stay at the house with us. You could be around Sofia and we have plenty of room. I insist."

"I wouldn't want to impose, truly a hotel is fine."

"You not imposing, your Arizona's mother and my family. We would love to have you. I'll discuss it with her now, we are meeting up for dinner now."

"Alright, well I won't hold you any longer. I just wanted to thank you for Tim and setting a time frame for the wedding."

"Really, it was nothing."

"To me it means a lot, and I know Arizona will be grateful. Talk to you soon, love you!"

"Love you too! Say hi to Daniel for us."

"Will do, take care." I hang up and pull up to the parking attendant kiosk so they can valet my car. Arizona and Sofia arrived about five minutes before me so when I walk into the restaurant I find them sitting in a both together. I sit across from them facing my wife and my daughter in her booster seat.

"Did you guys order already?" I ask picking up the menu and giving it a glance over.

"Just drinks, I got us both some water. Sof, want to tell mama what you got to drink?"

"Milk! Milk, mama!" She says proudly.

"Well that sounds good. What do you want to eat, Sof?"

"Noodles!"

"They have spaghetti on the kids menu so she can get that. I was thinking about the chicken parmesan myself, what about you?" Arizona asks.

"I'll get the chicken alfredo." I say putting down my menu. I help Sof open her box of crayons and she starts scribbling away on the children's menu. The waiter comes over with our drinks and takes our orders. "So I talked to your mom in the car."

"Really? What did she say?"

"A few different things. Why didn't you tell me she offered to come out after the shooting?"

"It wasn't necessary. She thought I wouldn't be capable of taking care of you and Sofia at the same time. She thought there wasn't enough attention to go around. I think she just wanted an excuse to come visit."

"Well I think I gave her one. I told her about the wedding and planning for December. She's coming out for a few days soon. I told her she could stay at the house."

"Callie…really?"

"She's your mother, Arizona."

"I don't care about her staying with us, but why did you tell her about the wedding? She's going to go into planning overdrive."

"Maybe that isn't such a bad thing, we are both working and only have the weekends off to plan really. I'm sure I'll be on call a few days so that's going to cut down on some time."

"Fine…but I want us to do this together. When she comes she can help out a little bit, but that's it. It's our special day and I want us to be involved."

"Just tell me what you want and I'll try to make it happen." I say flashing a smile.

"You're such a great wife, you know that?"

"I've been told once or twice." I play back. "Speaking of which, are we telling people we got married or am I still your fiancée? I didn't tell you mom anything, but I just want to know if it comes up again."

"I don't know…I guess I'm conflicted. I like that it's just something between us, but I don't want you to feel like I'm hiding it and keeping it a secret."

"I don't feel that way at all. I'll tell you now and I'll keep telling you for the rest of our lives, I love being your wife and I'm proud to be your wife. So I don't mind telling people, but if not that's okay too."

"Maybe let's just keep it between us for a little while more. At least around the family."

"That's fine with me, babe."

"Noodles!" Sofia says breaking us from our conversation. She sees the waiter coming over with our food and gets excited. Once everything is on the table Sof immediately digs in.

"Sof, use your fork por favor." I suggest when I see her picking up the noodles with her hands.

"No."

Sofia, you eat with a fork, just like me and mommy." I demonstrate for her with my own fork.

"No. Hands."

"Sofia, that's not nice. Listen to mama and use your fork like a big girl." She shakes her head no and picks up some more pasta with her hands. "What if I help you, is that okay?"

"Kay." She says softly. Arizona picks up a fork and starts feeding Sofia, who is happily getting her way.

"Arizona, you can't just feed her, we have to get her to start feeding herself and learning to use utensils."

"It's not that serious, Callie."

"A little bit it is. We can't do everything for her. She uses a fork at home, she's just being stubborn."

"Calliope, it's really not a big deal. The stuff we have a home is kid friendly, the utensils here are a little fancy and advanced for her. I just want her to eat something, or else she will be cranky at home during her bath. Then she will have a hard time getting to sleep, and I don't feel like dealing with all of that tonight." She says slightly peeved. I look to my daughter and she just gives me a saucy grin.

"Sof, can you please wipe your mouth with you napkin?"

"Yes mama." Sofia picks up her white cloth and wipes her face clean of tomato sauce.

"Good girl."

"Happy now?" Arizona teases.

"As a matter of fact yes I am." We eat in comfortable silence for a few minutes before I bring up a completely random topic. "What's your view on tattoos?"

"What?"

"Tattoos? Do you like them?"

"Uh I guess…I dated a girl once who had a few. They were tasteful and nice. Why are you asking?"

"I want to get one."

"Calliope, you can't be serious." She says shooting me a glance while continuing to help Sofia with her dinner.

"Why not?"

"Because your you…plus, don't people usually get them when they're young? Like in college or something?"

"Are you calling me old?" I counter.

"No, but why now?"

"We are married now."

"What does us having to be married have to do with anything?" My wife asks confused.

"I've heard of some doctors, usually the women doctors, losing their rings when scrubbing in for a surgery. Especially when it's an emergency."

"Okay…and?"

"I was thinking about getting your initials on my ring finger so in case I lose my wedding band or if it comes off for some reason. It's almost like it's there with me, even if not physically."

"Callie…are you actually serious right now?"

"Well yeah…I thought it was a cute idea. I've always wanted a tattoo, if anything I would get Sofia's name or initials somewhere and when our little nugget came theirs too. It's just something different."

"Isn't like the first rule of thumb when getting a tattoo is not to get a person's name…besides your children?"

"I don't know…would you get my name tattooed on you?"

"Honestly I don't know…I would like to think I would. Regardless, if you lost your ring I would just buy you another one, also you could just put it on a chain around you neck or something. A tattoo seems…extreme. It's like legit permanent."

"Technically a ring is permanent too. A symbol of our forever love."

"Look, I won't stop you if you do it. I guess it's kind of hot and flattering that you want to get my initials on you." She says grinning.

"I mean most times you won't even see it, I'll still wear my ring and it'll probably be small since it's just letters."

"Now that I think about it, it's kind of badass and you're totally badass. At least you used to be before you met me and became a softy." I playfully scoff at the accusation. "The girl I dated had five, but for the longest time I could only find four." She says reminiscing.

"Where was the fifth one?"

"It was actually kind of hot. It was…on the inside of her left thigh." She ends softy.

"Arizona!" Completely baffled at the admission. That was the last place I was thinking.

"What? You asked! It kind of turned me on because for the longest time I couldn't find it, then we slept together and I found it. It was almost like solving a mystery. You know what? You should totally get it."

"Really?"

"Yeah, like I said it's kind of sexy knowing my wife has me tatted on her." She says in a hush tone.

"Well now that you're on board, I might seriously consider this. At first I was just kind of toying with the idea."

"By no means am I encouraging you to lose your ring or not wear it, but if you want it then it's cool with me."

"That means a lot, thank you. At first I thought you might think it was creepy."

"Creepy isn't the word, more like unusual. It's different, that's all. I guess I just wasn't expecting that. Maybe we should get matching tattoos. Like I get your initials and you get mine? That'd be cute, right? I'm kind of surprised you didn't have a tattoo. They seem so badass and you claim that's what you are." She says mockingly.

"I've thought about it before, but I never knew what to get. I'm sure my parents would've a field day if I got one when I was younger. Aria and I were raised that our bodies are to be cherished. No sex before marriage and no permanent markings. No piercings except for our ears. It was more my mom then my dad, she's the super religious one." I say reminiscing. "Would you really get a tattoo with my initials?"

"Yeah I would, and talking about it with you now made me up for it. I'd do anything for you, Calliope. You and Sof." She says kissing our daughter on the head. "A tattoo is just another symbol of our love, plus I'm sure we'll have bigger decisions to make then that. We should do it if you want."

"We could do it on our honeymoon or something…" I suggest.

"That's a good idea." The waiter comes over and asks if we need anything else. We decide to just head home and she comes back with the check. Once that's paid we get ready to head out. I pick up a sleepy and messy Sofia and walk with Arizona out the restaurant. We go outside and wait for the valet to bring our cars around. Arizona's car comes up first.

"You want to take Sof, or do you want to take her home?" She asks.

"I'll take her, you might get home a minute or two before us, could you start her bath?"

"Sure." She says and gives Sofia a kiss bye and I give her a quick kiss on the lips bye, which for some reason gets the attention of the high school aged parking attendant. I give him a questioning glare, and he takes that opportunity to speak up.

"So are you two…like gay?" He asks boldly.

"Excuse me?" I ask taking a step towards the young man. This wouldn't be the first time someone has acknowledged us as a gay couple. We've gotten some strange looks when we're out together. Sometimes people smile, other times they give shameful looks. It's not something we talk about much, we usually just brush it off but it doesn't mean it doesn't get to us. One time a man came up to us and complained about us being an interracial couple and spewed off some racist remarks. That was a bad day. Luckily Sofia wasn't with us because I wouldn't want to hear some of the hateful stuff he said. I tend to speak up if someone has something to say about us, but Arizona rather not give them attention. People can't just say mean things and expect to get away with it. It's crazy to think some people are still closed-minded and ignorant, but we don't let them control our lives. We hold hands, kiss, and act like a couple when out in public. We are confident in our relationship and so deeply in love and we aren't going to change or act different to make other people comfortable.

"Calliope…let's just go. I'm tired and Sof needs a bath." She says tugging on my arm.

"One sec, the young man has a question." I really don't need a seventeen year old giving me attitude tonight.

"Hey, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm totally okay with it. I think the whole girl on girl thing is totally hot." He says defensively with a smug grin.

"Instead of looking at us as some type of amusement, why don't you just give my wife her car keys, please." I state firmly. He quickly offers up her keys and opens her door for her.

"I'm sorry, ma'ma. Have a good evening." He offers to Arizona. Sof and I wave bye as she drives off. When my car comes up I fasten Sofia in and head home.

I've been back at work for three weeks now and everything has been going great. The first couple of days people didn't know what to say or how to react around me, but that quickly faded away and everything is back to normal. I've scrubbed in on a few surgeries, and everyday I'm getting closer and closer to working at full capacity. Last night Barbara came in town and is here for a week. We are supposed to be taking care of some wedding details this weekend with her help. I can smell her cooking breakfast in the kitchen downstairs and can very faintly her the little giggles of Sofia. As much as I want to go downstairs and join them, I don't want to leave the warmth of my bed and sleeping wife

"Calliope, what are you doing?" Arizona asks in her sleep-filled voice, which is one of the many things I find incredibly sexy about her.

"I'm rubbing our little nugget." I'm currently sitting on my side, with one hand propping up my head, and the other rubbing Arizona's stomach. She still has her eyes closed, but I know she's getting ready to wake up. I go under the covers and move down the bed to settle myself in between her legs. I move up just enough that my elbows are on either side of her stomach and I lift up her shirt and start kissing her stomach. Of course she's not showing yet, but I know our little nugget is in there so I plant little kisses all over her smooth skin.

"That feels nice." She says and pushes the covers back so she can see my face. "Good morning."

"Morning."

"Do I get a kiss good morning too?"

"Of course…you get multiple kisses." I slowly kiss up her stomach while pushing her top of more and more. Within seconds breasts come into full view and I can't help myself when I start licking her left breast. She arches her back and pushes her breast into my mouth. I readily accept it and swirl my tongue around her nipple, before I do the same with the right breast. I release it with a little pop then move up to her face. I can't help but smile when looking at her. I lean down and give her an intimate kiss. She runs her tongue over my bottom lip and I take that as the chance to intensify the kiss. Our mouths open and her hands find my head and hold me close. Heads start moving side to side to get better angles, but soon enough oxygen is a problem and we break apart.

"I wish I could kiss you all day."

"Me too, but your mom is downstairs and I think we should join her." I give her another kiss and then roll off her and sit up against the headboard.

"I knew I smelled breakfast. I hope she doesn't cook bacon, I haven't been able to keep that down."

"Speaking of our little nugget, next week at the doctors we should be able to see the ultrasound. You'll be close to six weeks."

"Really?" She says with a smile and putting a hand over her stomach.

"Uh-huh. It'll be small, but we should be able to see something."

"I'm excited!"

"Me too! I'm going to go check on your mom and Sof, come down when you're ready."

"Wait! I want to kiss you again." She says halting my movements from getting up. She moves to sit on my lap and throws her top to the ground. Her hands find my top and take it off for me.

"I thought you said no sex with your mom in the house?"

"First, that was no sex in her house. This is our home. Second, if I want to kiss and touch my wife, I will do just that as I please. Thirdly, we're just kissing, right?" She says with a wink.

"Right." I say and she captures my lips in a full kiss.

"So I made a list last night off all the things we can get done today." Barbara says at the living room table. We joined she and Sofia fifteen minutes ago. She made a full spread for breakfast, and we are right in the middle of it. "Do you know where you want to have it?"

"We were thinking about the T Hotel. We could get the space on short notice because Callie's connections, and they have nice ballrooms for the reception."

"Callie, can you work that our, dear?" Barbara asks while cutting up some food for Sofia to eat.

"I took care of it last week. Once Arizona mentioned it I made a call."

"You did, I didn't know that?" She says looking at me from across the table.

"It was no big deal." I shrug off.

"Well, that's one thing done." Barbara says checking it off her list.

"What day is it for?" My wife asks.

"I booked it for two weeks in the middle of December, before Christmas of course."

"You can do that?"

"Babe, when my name is in the name of the hotel I can pretty much do anything I want. I only pull rank when I need to."

"I knew I liked you, Callie." Barbara says satisfied. "Hopefully we will have a date soon, then we can work on invitations." Last night we talked when Arizona wasn't around about Tim returning. Any day now he should be getting back to us with a specific date so we can finally put everything in motion. "Next, food. What are you two thinking about?"

"I was thinking about—"

The doorbell interrupts Arizona before she can finish.

"Bell! Bell!" Sofia cheers.

"Are you expecting someone?" I ask.

"No, are you?"

"Nope. The only person who would surprise me would be my mother, and being that she's already here."

"I'll get it." I excuse myself from the table to open to the door.

"Aria!? What are you doing here?" I ask nicely surprised.

"I was coming to visit you after the shooting and everything. To check on you and make sure you're okay, you know sisterly stuff so I told dad to let him know I was taking some time off. He was pissed that you didn't tell him about the shooting, but I calmed him down. Told him that Arizona said everything was okay now. He thought it was best that I check on you and report back to him, but then he told mother. She freaked. I mean really freaked. She doesn't even mention you anymore, but as soon as she heard shooting she went ballistic. So she insisted on coming…"

"No…Aria you didn't."

"I'm so, so, sorry Callie. I didn't mean for this. It was supposed to be just me." I look behind her, and she moves just to the side, enough for me to see the person who raised me, then disowned me. The person who is supposed to love their child unconditionally, but stopped when I found true happiness in someone other then what she wanted for me.

"Mom?"

"Hi Callie." She says stoically.

AN: I can't help it. I like a little drama. It won't be too much.

AN2: Also, I actually do know a couple who got tattooed wedding bands. It was kind of cute. That's how the tattoo thing came to mind…completely random I know. Thanks for reading!
