Callie's POV

4 WEEKS AGO

"I'm never having kids." Alex huffs as he sits down at the lunch table. Meredith, Kepner and I were having a very nice conversation before Alex decided to join in. "They get sick and die."

"Ummm, rough day on the peds floor?" Meredith asks munching on a sandwich.

"Mikey died an hour ago." Alex regretfully tells us. "I really thought he was going to pull through, ya know? Sometimes I can feel it, but then stupid cancer took over."

"I'm sorry, Alex." Mikey came into the hospital a few weeks ago and ever since his arrival he's won over all the staff and doctors. With everything he was dealing with, he always put it aside and tried to make the others around him happy. His smile was infectious, and a couple of time we would have lunch with him in his room. It might have broken some rules of hospital protocol, but he was worth it. "You were really good with him."

"I think he changed you." Kepner says. "You smiled more."

"Well now I'm not smiling. He's gone. I can't have kids."

"As the only parent at the table I would like to say that kids are great. Yes, at any given moment something bad can happen to them, but that's the same for anyone. If I thought about all the horrible possibilities of something bad happening when I'm not around Sof or Noah I'd probably never leave their sight, but that's just not a healthy way to live. I bet Mikey's parents didn't think anything would happen to their son, but unfortunately something did. I doubt they regret their decision to have him though."

"Callie is right, Alex. You can't write off kids just because Mikey died. He wouldn't want that and I think one day you'll be a great dad. You try and act all tough and bad, but on the inside I know you're a softy." Meredith adds. "We all saw you with Sof at her birthday party."

"Sofia couldn't stop talking about playing princess dolls with her Uncle Alex." I tease. "She talked about it all night."

"It was her birthday, the least I could do was play with her." He tries to downplay it, but Meredith and I share a knowingly look and laugh.

"I for one can't wait to have children. They are going to be so cute." April says dreamily.

"Cool it, Kepner. No one wants a bunch of mini Aprils running around." Alex sneers. "One of you is enough."

"I think Kepner and Jackson would make cute kids." Grey comments casually.

"Wait, who said I was having kids with Jackson?"

"Um, the way you guys look at each other all the time pretty much explains it." I reply. It's so obvious what's going on between those two. If I was single I'd probably be jealous of their relationship, but I'm happily married so watching them flirt and glance at each other all the time is annoying. Kepner is about to respond, but I hold up my finger to stop her and answer my ringing phone.

"Hello?"

"Callie, hey it's Megan Blue from Seattle Child services. How are you?"

"I'm good. It's good to hear from you." I get up from the table to excuse myself to the hallway.

"That's great. Look I'm calling because a judge is willing to here your case regarding Noah today. If you and your wife could get down to the courthouse before five the judge will have a final answer."

"Of course, of course! We will be there. Do you know what the decision is?"

"Unfortunately I do not. We just get called when one of our applications comes up on the docket. I have a busy day at the courthouse so just find me when you guys arrive."

"Will do! Thank you so much." After hanging up with Megan, I immediately call Arizona.

"Hey babe, I have class in a few. What's up?"

"Megan just called me and wants us to meet her at the courthouse for a final decision regarding Noah's adoption!" I spit out giddily.

"That's great! I can meet you there once I get off."

"Perfect. I'll move some things around and meet you there with the kids."

"Sounds good. I have to go, but I have a good feeling about this, Calliope. Everything is going to work out."

"Thanks, Arizona. I'll see you later."

"Love you, bye."

PRESENT DAY – Arizona's POV

"So what do you think, Sof?" Putting her down on ground, I let her get a feel of our Hawaiian home. Being that it's her first time here, she carefully looks around at all the open space and tentatively moves around. We just arrived after an early flight from Seattle. After picking up our rental car, we navigated the streets of Hawaii and finally arrived out our private home. Just stepping off the plane instantly put me in a better mood. Callie put in a few long nights and extra hours to make sure she could take off for an extended period of time. Along with this being a Christmas vacation, we are also celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary. We did go out on the actual day a week ago, but it was a weekday and we knew we had this trip coming up so we didn't go overboard. So we tacked on a few extra days in Hawaii to celebrate our anniversary.

"Pool, mama?" Sof asks pointing at the big blue pool just outside the sliding glass door.

"Yeah, it's a pool. Maybe mama will go in it with you."

"What am I going to do?" Callie asks coming back down the stairs and into the room after doing a brief run through of the home with Noah in her arms. I had some things set up before we arrived, but Callie wanted to see everything for herself.

"Sof wants to get into the pool and I think it's time that I feed Noah, so do you mind getting in with her?"

"Of course not. Let's go get you changed, kiddo!" She says picking an excited Sofia and passing my Noah. "What color bathing suit do you want to wear?"

"Red!"

"Mmm, I think I have a red suit too!" Yes she does have a red suit. One I made sure she packed. They head back up the stairs to change and I go outside to the pool area with a fidgety Noah. The plane ride had a few hiccups, from Sofia being extra chatty in the morning and Noah experiencing his first flight. Luckily we had our own row with Sofia seated between us. Callie and I took turns holding Noah. Getting comfortable under a shaded lounge chair, I get situated to start nursing Noah and taking in the view. Just a few steps off our back patio is a short walkway to our private beach. Splendid memories come flooding back into my mind as I think of all the good times Callie and I had on the beach during our honeymoon. Soon I hear the light patter of Sofia's flip-flops as she and Callie come out back.

"No running, Sofia." Callie warns. Ahhh yes, Callie's sexy red bikini finally makes a return. The bright material covers in all the important places, which also happen to be my favorites places, and the shining sun is bouncing off her beautiful tan skin. Sof's red suit is a modest two-piece as well and her brunette hair is flowing freely in the light breeze. "Sofia I need to put sun screen on you!" Sofia scurries away from the edge of the pool and joins Callie on the lounge chair right next to me. Standing between my wife's legs, Callie squirts sunscreen in her hand and begins rubbing all over our daughter.

"Mommy, what ya doin'?" Sof asks pointing at Noah on my chest. While we don't make hide the fact that I breastfeed Noah in our home, most times it's done in private. That being said, sometimes Sofia is around but not really aware of what's going on.

"Feeding Noah." I simply state. Noah is mostly covered, partially to hide him from the heat and sun.

"Oh. Can NoNo swim too?"

"Maybe later, but right now he's hungry and a little tired." At five months, Noah is a growing boy. Starting in the New Year we have decided to start feeding him baby food and getting him used to that. I did find some cute swim trunks for him to wear while I was at the store recently, so maybe Noah will get his chance in the pool later.

"Ready, Sof?" Callie asks.

"Yeah! Yeah!" Walking over to the poor, Callie walks in gingerly at first getting used to the cool waters before helping Sof in and moving into deeper waters. My wife bounces our daughter up and down in the water, keeping her afloat the entire time. They share matching smiles and loud giggles for about twenty minutes before I leave to go put Noah down for a rest. Changing into a yellow bathing suit, I join my two girls back outside in the pool and swim over to Calliope.

"Mommy joined us in the pool, Sof. Show her what you just did." Callie says lifting her up on the edge of the pool.

"Watch me mommy!"

"Okay, okay I'm ready!" Giving Sofia my full attention, she stands up and takes a few steps back before running forward and jumping into the pool with a big splash. Callie quickly lifts her above water and Sof has the biggest smile on her face.

"See me mommy?" She asks wiping her wet hair out her face.

"I did! You made a huge splash, Sof! That was very cool." Playing it up just a tad to make her extra excited. One thing about Sofia is that she loves attention.

"We practiced that when you went inside." Callie informs me. "I thought she'd be scared to jump, but she took no convincing." We spend close to thirty more minutes in the pool until Sof starts to get tired. The first half of our day was rather busy, and I'm sure the pool activities are finally wearing on her. After a light lunch and change of clothes, she easily went down for a midday nap. Callie and I decided to take another dip in pool, leaving the sliding door open just in case one of the kids wakes up.

"So when are your parents coming in?" Callie asks treading water a few feet in front of me.

"Christmas Eve. They weren't too excited to travel on the holiday, but when I told them they were coming to Hawaii they of course changed their tune. They didn't want to miss Noah's first Christmas. Tim told me they are packing an extra suitcase just for gifts."

"Not surprised, sounds like your parents." She laughs. "Aria and my dad are coming on Christmas. Apparently my mom is pissed that they are missing Christmas with her to hang out with us."

"Can't say that I'm sorry. Is everyone going to stay here?"

"Well I was thinking your family can stay with us and Aria and my dad will probably stay at the hotel." She says swimming closer to me in the shallow waters.

"I feel bad that they can't stay with us."

"Don't. It's fine. I know my dad is supportive of me and our relationship, but I still don't think he's entirely comfortable with being around us all the time."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean coming to our wedding and visiting Noah and Sofia for a few hours is one thing. But staying with us in our home for a couple of days might be too much. Aria told me when people ask about me he only says I'm happy and healthy. No mention of you or the kids. It's not that he hates what we have together, but telling people about us is hard for him still."

"That's unfortunate." It's crazy how different our families are. I'm pretty sure my mom tells everyone and anyone about Sofia and Noah and she has a huge framed picture of Callie and I from our wedding in the front of my home in Maryland.

"It is, but at least he's coming around more. I think he's trying as best he can. He did buy us this house as a wedding gift, and we did partake in many gay activities here. He's not completely naïve" She smiles wiggling her eyebrows.

"Hmmm, like what?" I ask knowingly.

"Well, I do recall a few steamy make out sessions in this very pool." She says circling my waists with her arms. "I remember waking up a few times with your head in between my legs."

"Mmmm, I do remember that." I smirk with my arms around her neck. "Good times."

"And who can forget sex on the beach?" She beams.

"It was memorable." We share a heartfelt kiss before she pulls back and leans her forehead against mine.

"Thank you for bringing us here for Christmas and our anniversary."

"It's my pleasure and I think the kids will enjoy it, even if they won't remember it. I can't believe it's been a year since we got married. Kind of went by quick."

"I think Noah stole some of our thunder, but I wouldn't have changed a thing."

"Me neither." I say kissing her again. There's no rush and we're completely alone savoring each other's touch and time. "Take me inside, Calliope." Pulling her out the pool with me, we pick up our towels and begin drying off as we walk back inside our home and up to our bedroom. "As much as I love this bathing suit I think you should take it off." I say pushing her back towards the bed.

"Oh is that so?" She grins devilishly.

"Well we can't have you getting the bed all wet…at least not from pool water." Pulling the knots behind her neck and back, her top falls to the floor and she takes a seat on the edge bed and takes off her bottoms as well.

"So does that mean I get to take off your bathing suit too?" She asks pulling me in by the hips to stand between her legs. Turning me around, I move my wet hair out the way and she unties my top that drops to the floor. Giving me a kiss on my lower back, she slowly pulls down the bottoms and turning me back around to face her.

"You're beautiful, Ari—what you did not!? How am I just noticing this?!"

"Cause I just got it done a couple of days ago." Yes, I did actually go to the salon and did get a 'C' outlined on my vagina. I didn't think I would go through with it, but for some crazy reason I did. "And can I just say it say I thought it was going to be an extremely awkward conversation to ask for a letter on my vagina, but apparently it's a thing. The lady said people get letters and shapes all the time. Hearts and stars are evidently very popular."

"I didn't think you would actually do it. I mean it was a fantasy for a reason, but I'm so happy that it became a reality." The look on my wife's face is pure surprise and genuine. "I need my phone to take a picture of this."

"Callie, you are not about to take a picture of my vagina." As much as I love her and would consider doing almost anything with her, I will not have my vagina on her phone just waiting for someone to hack it or something. I have to draw the line somewhere.

"Babe, no one will see it. This is incredibly hot, and as I recall you sent me a pictures of your boobs while I was at work once."

"Yeah, but I was pregnant and horny and missing you like crazy."

"So that's a no on the picture?"

"Just enjoy it now. Who knows if I'll ever do this again."

"All the more reason for a picture, babe."

"You're ridiculous you know that?" I clown my lovely wife. Sitting on her lap, she quickly switches our positions and rolls me on my back with her right above me. She nuzzles her face in the crook of my neck and starts kissing me before peppering my chest and collarbone with more kisses and moving to the other side of my neck.

"You know what I realized?" I ask once I feel her slip her leg between mine, putting just enough pressure on my rousing center.

"Hmm?" She mumbles against my skin.

"I think you like to be on top a lot."

"I do not." She pretends to be offended, but I think deep down she knows I'm right.

"You do too!"

"Do you want to switch? Either way, it's a good view and feeling for me."

"No, I like you on top. I was just pointing it out." Flashing my dimples, she shakes her head at my antics and gives me another kiss on the lips. We readjust our bodies so we are under the bed sheets and she kisses her way down my stomach to my hips and pelvis region.

"Why are you covering up? I like to watch you."

"Watch the waves or something, I just want you to feel me. Feel me make love to your pussy, Ari." She says pulling the sheet over her head and disappearing, leaving the upper half of my body exposed. Staring out the large windows and watching the waves crash on the shore in the distance, I feel her part my legs and bite my inner thighs lightly before licking over the skin soothingly with her warm tongue. As she continues to tease me, I know I'm getting wetter and wetter with every little thing she's doing. My wife opens my legs even wider and parts my wet folds with her fingers as she takes a long lick of my wet pussy with her flat tongue. Moaning her name, she continues to lick and suck, purposefully bringing my close, but not letting me come. It's going on twenty minutes when I decide that she's had all her pleasure down there, but I really need to come.

"Calliope, make me come baby." She flicks my clit a few times before sucking it into her mouth and rolling her tongue over it. Clawing at her hair, she releases my clit and sticks her tongue deep inside me shaking her head back and forth.

"Callie! Callie! Fuck, baby!" I cry out in pleasure, my back arches off the bed and I bite my lip trying to hold in my animalistic sounds. As I feel my orgasm approaching, my legs tighten around her head, locking her in place as she continues to fuck me senseless and breathless with her tongue and mouth. Seconds after she latched onto my clit a second time my orgasm rolled through my body. Shaking and quivering, I'm certain that I just came on my wife's face. Her tongue is everywhere as she laps up everything I just released and slowing down her actions to let me relish in the moment. Pulling back the covers and flipping her hair back, she kisses her way back up my body and plants a big kiss on my lips before rolling off me. Once I collect my breath I lay my body partially on hers with my hand covering her heaving chest.

"That was amazing, baby."

"You're amazing, Ari." She quickly counters. "I know I say it all the time, but I really could be down there all day long. You're so sexy and the fact that you gave birth to our son makes you even sexier." A month ago the judge signed off on Callie's adoption of Noah making her his second parent legally. I didn't have any doubt, but having the judge sign off was just added confirmation. I'm happy we can put that process behind us. It seemed like a weight was lifted of my wife's shoulder that day. Even though we both considered her Noah's second mother, legally she wasn't and I knew that made Calliope upset. It made me upset too, but all I could do was support her and reaffirm her place in his life until everything went through. With the exception of his blue eyes, he very much does look like Sofia and Calliope and I wouldn't have it any other way. "Making love with you and to you is my favorite thing to do. I don't mean to get all sappy after sex, but—"

"Don't ever apologize, Calliope Robbins-Torres. I'm so incredibly in love with you and our little family. We should just pack up and move here. We could start a little family restaurant and pop out some more kids over the next few years. We could do it. Or I'm sure there's a hospital here that could benefit from your expertise. Ooohh, I could even home school the kids. That would be fun."

"Maybe you could open the Arizona Academy of Learning." Why she loves that name I don't know.

"Possibly, but we need a new name."

"We can work on it. I'd really consider it if you wanted to, but I have a feeling we'd miss Seattle."

"I know, but it's nice to dream and imagine." We share a few more soft and sensual kisses with one another and make light conversation. Just as we are about to fall into deep slumber, Noah decides to make his presence heard disturbing both of us with his cry.

"I'll go check on him." Callie gets out the bed and makes a quick stop in the bathroom and throws on some new clothes. Either Callie took a really long time with Noah, or I fell asleep fast because the next time I woke up she wasn't there, but left a note in her place.

Took the kids down to the beach, didn't want to wake you. See you soon, Callie, Sofia, and Noah.

Stretching out my sore muscles, I get up and look out the window. I see Callie and the kids off in the distance and decide to put on some clothes and join them. Approaching my family on the beach, I see Callie sitting with Noah in her lap and Sof playing around in the sand with some toys.

"Mommy!" My daughter yelps when she sees me walking towards them. "Come play!" Callie turns around smiling as Noah tries to wiggle free.

"What do we have going on here?" I ask taking a seat on the beach towel next to my wife and plopping our son in my lap.

"Sofia is attempting to dazzle us with her sand castle building skills." Sure enough, Sofia has a small pail and shovel in hand and is working on making some kind of castle. I noticed that she's wearing a sundress and Noah is in shorts and a t-shirt, almost matching Calliope.

"Did you guys go somewhere?"

"Noah was feeling a little lonely so that's why he was fussy, and then Sof woke up and we went out to pick up a few things from the store for dinner. Once we came back we took a short walk on the beach and now here we are!"

"How long was I out for?"

"Close to three hours." She says checking her phone for the time. "You looked really tired."

"I was, but I'm feeling much better now. Did you guys go in the water?"

"We got our feet wet, but it's really cold right now. Sof, tell mommy what you're making."

"Princess castle!" We both laugh because Sofia is utterly obsessed with anything princess. I know Callie is hoping she grows out of this phase, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. Noah claps at the noise, something he just started doing recently and rocks back and forth. I'm convinced he's going to start crawling in a few weeks. We mindlessly chat and play in the sand for a few more minutes until Sofia is satisfied with her creation. The rest of the evening was spent eating a delicious dinner Calliope made and relaxing with the kids. We gave them baths and had family story time. Once they were down for the night, Callie and I shared a dessert and sipped on champagne. It was important to me that we found time to celebrate our anniversary aside for just being here for Christmas. Soon our house will be filled with family and our alone time will become limited.

Thanks for reading!

AN: I decided to split up the Hawaiian vacation into two chapters, so I will have one more before the epilogue. Every time I think I'm done with the story, I keep writing! Lol. Anyway, thanks for kind words once again. You guys made me continue on even when I didn't want to.
