Arizona's POV

The past week since the gala and telling Arizona about everything has been filled with some mild ups and downs. I'm happy I told her and I sincerely planned on telling her before going in for the coronary angiography, I just wasn't sure how to tell her. Not surprised, she got the information out of me, and I guess my behavior that week gave it away too. Ever since telling her the news she's been doing endless research about heart disease, especially in woman. I've come home every day to a new green vegetable she prepared for dinner because she's convinced that my eating habits needs to change. I never really ate badly before, but I will admit I didn't have the healthiest diet. Whenever I walked in the door after a long day at the hospital she would be ready with the kids to go walking. According to my wife I need to exercise more, even though Dr. Meyers told me herself I was physically fit. It's just my insides that are questionable. That being said, Arizona always wants to take walks around the neighborhood as soon as I come home. One day she was just so persistent that I snapped at her. I didn't mean to, but she kept insisting and telling me that Sofia had been excited about the walk all day. I told her that I've been on my feet all day with back-to-back surgeries and didn't want to go out, I just wanted to lie down and rest. It wasn't a good enough answer for her, so I raised my voice, which meant the kids got fussy and started crying. Of course that's not how I wanted the situation to play out, but I hadn't even been in the house for ten minutes and so much was happening. Arizona started apologizing and asking me to calm down so I wouldn't be stressed out because stress isn't good for me right now. I was feeling overwhelmed, so I took some time to compose myself before trying to fix the situation. Not to mention the entire week I'd catch Arizona staring at me a second or two longer then normal. I'm not sure if she's watching for something to happen to me, or just watching me in a loving way but when I'd catch her and ask her what's up, she would just shove it off. It's not like I'm dying, but she's kind of making me feel that way. I know she's just trying to take care of me and help me out, and honestly I would do the same if the situation was reversed, but with my looming cardio procedure it's just making me more anxious.

"You know, I like hanging out in here with you Noah." I say to my son who's nestled comfortably on my chest while I hold him in the rocking chair, slowly moving back and forth. Running my hand soothingly up and down his back, and touching his soft brunette hair is just the comfort I need right now. "Your room is very quiet and calming. Your mom did a really good job with the room. I hate that I have to leave you today, but I have to go figure out what's wrong with me so I can be around for to watch you grow up. I have a feeling you and your sister are going to drive me crazy." Little gurgles inform that Noah is at least awake, and not falling asleep at my soft voice.

"Callie, I've been looking all over for you. We need to head out." Arizona says coming into our son's room and disturbing the calm presence that we had a second ago. "We just got back from the airport with mom and she's playing with Sof. If we can leave while she's distracted she won't break down." Arizona called her mother to stay a day or two while I'm at the hospital for the angiography. I feel bad that Barbara is traveling so much for us, but Arizona insists that her mother doesn't mind and is okay with watching the kids by herself for a little bit.

"Okay, just give me a minute. I'm gonna change Noah and then we can leave."

"Oh I can do that!" She readily offers coming over to where we're seated.

"Arizona." I draw out. "I can do it. Just give me a minute. As soon as I'm done we can leave." I say standing up and walking over to Noah's changing table. Taking the hint, she leaves the room and I go about changing Noah's diaper. "I think your mom's a little on edge, buddy. Hopefully today will give us some answers, she'll be back to usual self, and won't make mama eat anymore kale." Five minutes later, and a fresh diaper wrapped on Noah's little body we head downstairs.

"There's the man of the house." Barbara says greeting us; taking him from me I pick up Sofia and give her a hug and a kiss. "So where are you guys going anyway?"

"We just have something to take care of, mom. We should be back later tonight, or early in the morning. I'll call with updates. There should be enough milk in the fridge for Noah, and I'm sure you'll make something good to eat for Sofia."

"Alright, well everything will be taken care here. I'll see you all later." Hugs, kisses, and some last minute instructions keep us in the house for an extra ten minutes before my wife and I are finally in the car. Usually a drive to the hospital is exciting for me, I sometimes think about upcoming surgeries or new things Sof or Noah did, but now I'm headed to the hospital as the patient and it's a little nerve-wracking. I'm not worried about the procedure per se, it's more about what the procedure could reveal. The car ride is mostly quiet; I think we are both in our own little worlds. Upon arriving at the hospital and getting situated in my patient room, Dr. Webber comes in.

"Dr. Torres, how are you?"

"Chief, I'm good. How did you know…"

"Torres, I know everything that happens in this hospital. Especially when it has to deal with one of my doctors. Just wanted to wish you well and let you know we have the very best working on you, as you probably know. Anything you need will be taken care of."

"I appreciate that, thank you sir."

"Of course. It's nice to see you again, Arizona." He says before exiting the room. I take that as my cue to change in the bathroom into one of the standard – and mandatory- hospital gowns.

"Hot, right?" I say showing my wife my new look. Looking up from her phone, she gives me a raised eyebrow and light chuckle. Standing up, she crosses the room to meet me.

"I've said it before, you look hot in anything." She compliments and gives me a kiss. "How are you feeling?"

"How are you feeling?"

"Me? I'm not the one who's having the procedure done today."

"Yeah, but you're the wife of someone having the procedure done today. That counts for something."

"I just want to make sure that you're okay, and if you're not then we figure out how to deal with it."

"You know this isn't a death wish, right? I'm not dying. Regardless of the outcome."

"I know, I've done the research, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take it any less serious."

"Is this a good time?" Dr. Meyers ask knocking on the door.

"It's fine." I say waving two doctors in. The other doctor is Dr. Emerson. He's in cardio and did my last test. I've seen him around the hospital a few times. A nurse comes in as well and starts some preliminary tests. I sit in the hospital bed and let the nurse do their job while Arizona sits next to me in a chair with both doctors at the foot of my bed.

"Dr. Meyer, Dr. Emerson, this is my wife Arizona." I say introducing everyone.

"Very nice to meet you, Arizona." Dr. Emerson begins. "As you know Dr. Torres you're here for a coronary angiography. It's a fairly simple procedure. I'm going to insert a catheter into your arm in a blood vessel. Using a needle to find a hole within the blood vessel, the catheter will be inside there. Moving through your coronary arteries, I will inject a special dye that will make your arteries visible on the x-ray so I can see everything. The x-ray is an angiogram and will let me look directly at your insides. You'll be awake most of the procedure and I will give you instructions when needed. I'll numb the area so you won't feel any pain. You'll also be given medicine, which might make you a little sleepy. In recovery you'll be monitored and depending on how you react to the medicine you should be fully conscious again within a few hours."

"At that point, Dr. Emerson and I will come in and talk with you about everything and our course of action. Any questions?" Dr. Meyers asks finishing. I look to my wife who shakes her head and I've heard everything I needed so I'm good. Honestly just ready to get this over with.

"Okay then, I'll see you in a few hours. Dr. Emerson and a nurse will be back to get you soon."

"Sounds good. Thank you." Both doctors leave followed by the nurse, and again it's just Arizona and me. Patting a spot on the hospital bed, Arizona comes over to sit next to me. "Now in case something goes crazy, horribly wrong and I crash on the table, I want to tell you something."

"Callie…"

"Just hear me out." Taking her hands in mine. "First, I want you to know that without a doubt I love you so much and you're absolutely the love of my life…"

"Calliope, you're being ridiculous."

"Hey, I'm confessing my love for you, you can at least listen for a second babe." I smile teasingly, "Second, make sure Sofia and Noah grow up to be well-rounded people and don't let them forget about me. Remind them of all the times that I changed their stinky diapers."

"Are you done yet?"

"Mmmm, almost. Lastly, wait at least a year before you start dating again, and make sure they treat you like the queen you are. Hopefully they aren't too much prettier then me, but if they are that's okay too. You deserve to be with someone very pretty, although in my opinion you're the most gorgeous person in the world."

"For someone who says they aren't going to die, you're talking like you are and I don't like it. Everything is going to be fine."

"I know, but just in case." We talk for the next few minutes about miscellaneous things before it's time for me to be moved into another room for the angiography. "I love you and I'll see you in a few hours."

"Love you, too. I'll be right here when you get back." She gives me a searing kiss that makes my insides flutter and soon I'm being rolled down a hallway. Lucky for me I didn't see many people I'm close with and I'm happy about that. I don't feel like having to explain why I'm in the hospital as a patient to anyone.

"All right, Dr. Torres. Let's get started, shall we?"

"Let's do it, doc."

I remember having a catheter inserted in my arm and Dr. Emerson talking and giving me instructions, but after that a lot is hazy. I swear the drugs at this place are wonderful, and I'm positive I've gotten the best rest since Noah was born being knocked out with the help of some friendly medicine. I'm not in any pain, but my arm is a little sore from the catheter insertion, but I've felt worse. Hell, giving birth to Sofia was some of the worst pain I've experienced, but it's all worth it for my sweet, sweet baby girl.

"Calliope…are you awake?"

"I don't know, give me a kiss and find out." I say slightly groggy. I feel her soft, warm lips on mine and I can't help but smile. "Yeah, I'm definitely awake."

"Good, cause you've been sleep for a long time. I stopped counting how many times the nurses came in to check on you after five." My wife says sitting next to me.

"How's everything at home?"

"Fine, I called mom and she said everything is perfect. But to her, as long as no one is dying then everything is perfect. So for all we know Sof could've thrown a tantrum and Noah could be crying his eyes out, but I highly doubt that's the case."

"Gosh, I hope not."

"I'm going to go tell the nurse that you're awake." My wife swiftly leaves the room and returns with a nurse not a minute later. She does some routine checks and within minutes Dr. Emerson and Dr. Meyers are back.

"Glad to see you awake, Dr. Torres." Dr. Emerson states.

"Yeah, I had a pretty nice nap. Did you get a good look at my insides?"

"I did. I've gone over the results with Dr. Meyers and if you're up for it we'd like to talk to you about the results."

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be." Sitting up in my hospital bed, the nurse excuses herself and Arizona takes her seat again next to me.

"So, while looking at your x-ray I saw plaque buildup around some of your coronary arteries. It happens over time, sometimes it's family history, other times it's diet, and it can be a combination of things. That being said, the plaque buildup wasn't enough to block blood flow and oxygen to your heart, which as you know could lead to a heart attack or other serious heart problems." Dr. Emerson says.

"So what exactly are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I'm not diagnosing you with coronary heart disease." As soon as he said those words I felt a silent weight being lifted off my shoulders. I hear Arizona release a breath and give me a kiss on the cheek. "That's good news, Dr. Torres, but you're still not completely out of the woods."

"I'm going to start you on some medication." Dr. Meyers says taking over, "You cholesterol levels are high as well as your blood pressure, as we've previously discussed. Also, your stress test last week was concerning as well. You may not feel stressed all the time, but your body is. I want you to begin taking medication and coming in for blood tests a little more often. You work at the hospital so there is no excuse. A blood test doesn't take long. You're young and relatively healthy, but some of your daily habits need to change. You may not have CHD right now, but if nothing changes your chances will increase just as you get older." My doctor finishes completely serious.

"I get it. Gotta switch it up a little."

"Callie." Arizona scolds.

"I just mean I hear you and I understand. Thank you for everything." I say genuinely. "When can I go home?"

"I want you to spend the night here, have the nurses continue to monitor you. You can leave first thing in the morning. I'll have your first prescription filled, be mindful of any side effects. Your arm may be a little tender, but otherwise should be fine. Just don't go picking up heavy weights for the next week. Everything will be outlined in your discharge papers."

"From what I hear Dr. Torres, you're a fabulous orthopedic surgeon. We want you to stay that way, so please just listen to your body and take care of yourself. Every resource you could ever need is right here in the hospital. Find Dr. Meyer or myself at anytime to ask any questions."

"Thank you both so much. It really means a lot to us." Arizona says shaking their hands once more. They give us warm smiles before exiting the room. "What am I going to do with you, Calliope Torres?"

"So I'll eat some more salads and take the stairs more often." I say downplaying the situation a little. It's a defense mechanism I tend to do. If I'm being totally honest, I know that I dodge a bullet, at least for right now. There's a reason why heart disease is the number one killer among men and women in the U.S.

"You need to take your meds and eat right."

"I didn't think I'd hear you say those words to me for at least thirty more years."

"In fact, the whole family is going to start eating healthier." My wife says ignoring my last comment. "Well mostly me and you cause Noah only drinks milk and Sof is still trying to figure out what food she likes, but between me and you more green foods!"

"Whatever you say, babe but can we rejoice in the fact that right now I'm okay?"

"Of course you're okay." She says placing a hand on either side of my face. "You're my wife and nothing is taking you away from me or our kids."

"Nothing at all." I say giving her a kiss.

"You know I should really be the one driving. You just had surgery."

"Arizona I didn't not have surgery. I just had a catheter stuck in my arm. It just felt like a really long pinch, besides you don't even know where were going."

"Considering it's like eight in the morning and we've just been in the hospital all night we better be going home. Or to get breakfast."

"Neither, but I think you'll enjoy where I'm taking you. We'll be home soon enough."

"Fine, but you know I don't like surprises." Driving for a couple more minutes in silence we finally reach our destination. "Definitely not breakfast." Arizona says once we get outside the car and walk inside the building. I walk over to the front desk and take care of a few things before Arizona and I hop into an elevator. "Should I be concerned that you have access to a room whenever you want."

"Nope! And technically so do you, Mrs. Robbins-Torres." Once we arrive at our floor, I take my wife's hand and lead her to our room. I'm not naïve or forgetful, I know we haven't had our special alone time since Noah's birth. We kind of claim close last week after the gala, but I had a lot on my mind and I spent most of the night telling Arizona everything about my doctor appointments. So with my mother-in-law in town to watch the kids and my health issues temporarily on hold I want to spend a few hours with just my wife. I've been thinking about this for the past couple of days, whether or not I got good news or bad news from the doctors I wanted to show my wife that I care and I'm aware of everything she's been doing. She's awesome and amazing, and I want to let her know that I haven't forgotten about her or us with everything that's been going on. I mean she freakin' had my baby a couple of months ago, I want her to know that I appreciate her and what she's done for us and our family. Most of all I just want us to get back to our normal selves. It's been a busy summer so far, and with her starting work again soon we're only going to get busier.

"Well this is a nice room. Although I shouldn't be surprised, all things considering." My wife says stepping into the room first. As soon as the door closes I come up behind my wife, spin her around, and connect our lips in a deep kiss. Putting my hands in her back jean pockets, I pull her body closer to mine and she puts her arms around my neck.

"Mmmm baby maybe we should stop. You know, maybe get some breakfast." She gives me a hard glare, but then I grin to let her know that I'm only joking.

"Calliope Torres I swear to God if you do not touch me very soon I will have to take things into my owns hand. Effective, yes, but not nearly as good as you."

"Totally hot, babe. I would actually love to see that." Taking a second to think about me watching my wife pleasure herself is really something I'd love to watch, but I have different plans for today. "I think I can help you out today though."

"It's about fucking time! I've been extremely patie—" Taking her lips with mine again, I end her little rant and begin unbuttoning her shirt. Slipping it off her body and throwing it to the floor I run my hands up her soft stomach and cup her breasts with a gentle squeeze. Feeling her slip her warm tongue into my mouth, I unhook her bra and throw that garment to the floor as well. When I finally feel her full breasts in my hands I'm thankful that she did a quick pump and dump at the hospital before we left so I can have my way with her chest all day, or at least the next couple of hours. I flick my fingers over her nipples before taking one in my mouth.

"That feels so good, baby." Arizona husks out while pushing her breast up further into my mouth. Moving us backwards towards the bed, I pick her up by the back of her thighs and she instantly wraps her legs around my hips. She takes my face in her hands and gives me another kiss. When we reach the bed I gently lay her down on the white bedspread and begin taking off her shoes. Resting up her elbows to watch me, I lean forward to unbutton and unzip her jeans and pull them off her body. Left in only her underwear, I quickly take those off too leaving her naked.

"God, you're so beautiful Ari." I say taking in her naked form. She's absolutely perfect, there's nothing I would change about her.

"I want you naked too, baby." She says watching me. Never breaking eye contact, I remove each article of clothing so I'm naked as well and crawl up the bed to lie directly on top of her. Feeling the direct skin-to-skin contact is something I've truly missed. This time I don't miss a beat before plunging my tongue into her mouth. One of my hands runs down her body and I pull a strong thigh up to hook around my waist. Rubbing my hand up and down her thigh, my mouth moves to her neck where I begin placing warm kisses on her skin. A few soft moans of encouragement keep me motivated as I move to the other side of her neck and down to her collarbone. Moving down her body, I flick the tip of my tongue over her left nipple before sucking it into my mouth and tracing my warm tongue over it. I feel her hands tangle in my hair keeping me attached to her chest. I tease the right nipple with my fingers before switching sides and giving it the same amount of attention.

"I'm wet, Calliope and I want you." My wife groans pushing my head down further south. I love when she tells me what she wants and what to do. I'd do anything for her. With both legs bent at the knees and feet firmly planted on the mattress I kiss down her body until I reach her shining core. Laying flat on my stomach, I can see the arousal coating her folds and I take a swipe, then another, and another. I could get lost between her legs and I'd the happiest person around.

"Your pussy tastes amazing, Ari." Taking another lick, I moan at her taste on my tongue. Sitting up for a moment, I spread her legs wide and run my fingers over her slick folds collecting her juices and taking my fingers to my own wet folds and rubbing myself with her arousal. I watch as her eyes stare at me rubbing myself with her and she bits her lower lip. Spreading her folds open, I see her aroused clit. I move myself to slip a leg between hers as our centers and clits come in contact.

"Fuckkk, Calliope…that feels….shit that feels good." My wife says looking down at our combined bodies. Moving my hips with hers, we begin to rock in a steady motion with my hands pressing into the mattress to give me more leverage.

"I love you like this, Ari. Your pussy feels so good against mine….mhhhmmm your so wet."

"Faster, baby, faster." Rocking aggressively against her, I feel my peak coming and by the look on her face I know she's almost there too. Our breasts bounce as me move harder against each other. Grunts, pants, and moans fill the room as our sex starts to fill the air. "I'm gonna come, Callie…ohhh shittt…callie come with me."

"I'm there, Ari…" Our mixed juices help us slide against one another with ease and I feel my body give in. I tumble over form my high, landing next to her on chilly sheets. Our legs are still a tangled mess, but neither of us can move. We're both frozen as our bodies recover the lost oxygen and strength.

"Baby?"

"Yeah…"

"I missed that."

"Me too, Ari…me too." I turn over to lie on my back and my wife takes that as an invitation to straddle my stomach. Pushing some of her wet hair behind her ears, she takes my hands and interlocks our fingers above my head and leans down to kiss me. Our kiss becomes deeper and deeper, and hips start rolling.

"I want something." She speaks staring into my brown eyes.

"Anything."

"I want you." My wife says licking her lips. She wastes no time in moving down my body and licking me senseless. I feel her mouth on me, pulling my by the ass closer to her. At a lost for words, all I can do is hold her head in place and squirm at her touch and the blonde locks tickling my inner thighs. She lifts one of my legs up and puts it over her shoulder as she continues her tongue assault. Her tongue circles my entrance and I lift my hips up urging her inside me.

"YES Ari!" I scream as she thrusts her pink muscle inside me. It's felt like ages since I've had this feeling. Curving her tongue at just the right angles, my eyes shut at her working inside me. Tugging her up by the hair, I suck her tongue deep into my mouth moaning at the taste of me on her. Two fingers work steadily inside me as I slip a hand between our bodies and enter her with ease.

"Ohh Calliope…" Arizona says leaning back and closing her eyes as she moves up and down my fingers in pleasure. Her fingers slip out of my, but I don't care. I just love watching her like this.

"You like that, Ari? Yes baby, keep going…you look so fucking hot riding my hand." Her juices spill out of her drenching my hand. I need to taste her right now. "Ari, stop for a second."

"Mhmm, nooo."

"Just a second, baby." Stopping her movements, I slide down until I'm directly under her wet center. Without me telling her, she lowers herself onto my face and I begin devouring her pussy. When my tongue enters her, she moves against it, using me however she pleases. My hands squeeze her ass holding her close until she's had enough. Flopping down beside me, I move up till we are face to face again. I give her another kiss, but this time it's languid and loving. Everything we just shared in one kiss.

"That was…"

"That was just round one, Calliope." My wife says rolling onto my back. "We have a lot of catching up to do...doc said exercise is good!"

It was just before noon when Arizona and I arrived back home. After a few more rounds, we took a shower and had breakfast at the hotel before driving back home. Still on our sex-high we enter the house smiley, lovey-dovey, basically like a couple that just had endless sex.

"Mom, we're home!" Arizona calls out.

"Mama!" Sof yells turning around from her seat on the living room floor in front of the television.

"Hey there pretty lady. I missed you." I say perching her up against my hip.

"Dining room! We have a guest."

"A guest? Who could it be?" I ask looking towards my wife.

"I don't know, maybe Aria? She likes to pop up sometimes."

"Girls! I suggest you come say hello." Walking further into the home, I see Noah seated in his sleeper on the table, and a woman I've never seen before.

"Callie, Arizona, this is Megan." Barbara says standing up and introducing us. "She got here a few minutes ago."

"I'm Callie Robbins-Torres, and that's my wife, Arizona." I say acknowledging her.

"Pleasure to meet you, Callie. I'm Megan Blue, and as I was just telling Barbara, I'm here for your surprise home visit regarding the adoption of Noah Caleb Torres." I look between my wife and mother-in-law and they have matching surprised looks on their faces. "Shall we begin?"

Thanks for reading!

AN: If I don't update again before the holiday, have a Merry Christmas if you celebrate it! And a good new year! I'll try to put up a chapter before New Year's if possible. I'm home on break and seeing friends/family…and I have a December birthday so I'm a little busy right now, but writing is a nice distraction :) Take care!
