Chapter Seventy-Three/Epilogue

Hope you enjoy!

Callie's POV

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I was just fixing her hair." I say reclaiming my seat next to Mark. He's in town for Sofia's first dance recital. At five years old, she absolutely loves kindergarten and one of the programs at her school includes a dance team. They practice for half an hour after school on Monday's, but Sofia doesn't stop there. No, she practices around the house day and night nonstop. I'm certain I know the entire routine myself. Even so, Sofia is extremely excited to preform, and I'm happy for her. She seems to really enjoy dancing. As I figured, Mark's contract in Los Angeles got extended, so he still lives there but travels more often to Seattle for important events for Sofia and when he has weekends off. Although tomorrow we are all going to Los Angeles because it's the beginning of Spring Break for Sofia and my wife. Sof will get some more time with Mark, I'll get to see Addison, and it's a nice getaway from this dreary Seattle weather.

"So how did you snag these front row seats anyway?"

"As much as we're paying for this school, I will sit anywhere I damn please." I huff in response.

"How much are we paying again?"

"Twenty-five thousand dollars."

"Right. And why are we paying so much?"

"Because it's the best school private school in Seattle. Mondays and Wednesdays the kids learn in English. Tuesdays and Thursday they learn in Spanish, and on Fridays they learn in Chinese. It's very advanced. Arizona said it's good to start learning new languages young."

"I guess, but that still seems like a lot of money for color and play with some blocks."

"I think it's a little bit more advanced then that."

"Still, this place is filled with rich parents who all want the best for their kids." He says glancing around at our surroundings. It looks like most parents here walked out of a luxury retail store magazine. It kind of reminds me of my childhood. All the parents tried to outdo the others by buying the best clothes and fanciest cars. Being that I came from the hospital I'm stilled in my navy scrubs and Mark is wearing jeans. Nothing compared to the other dads who are wearing tailored suits. "How did we manage front row?"

"Carlos Torres." The name alone is enough. Once he learned that his granddaughter was in an elite school he made sure to inform the school that a Torres heiress is a student here, and made a sizable donation on behalf of T Hotels. I'm pretty sure we have front row seats at every function up until graduation."

"Your dad and I might not have the best relationship, but he will do anything for his family."

"Can't argue with you there. Noah's got a few more months at daycare and soon Arizona and I will be working on getting him in here as well."

"Have fun with that second tuition bill." He jokes. The current arrangement we have is Mark and I splitting Sofia's school stuff. At first Arizona felt left out that she wasn't contributing, but we came to an agreement and soon enough she will get her chance to write a fat check to the school on behalf of Noah. Even with my blessed and inherited wealth, I still cringe when I write the check for the tuition. We always said we wanted the best for our children, but the best is so freakin' expensive, and they are just starting out. When I started calculating the tuition for the next ten plus years of their education my mind wanted to explode. Sometimes managing things between three parents is challenging, but at the end we all get along and everything works out fine. I'm thankful for Arizona and her handling of the situation. She knows when she should speak up and intervene, and when it's best to just let Mark and I handle things regarding Sof. We've each got our own personalities, but I include her in just about everything and Mark is understanding and accepting of that. "Speaking of family, where are Arizona and Noah?"

"I'm not sure, they should be here soon. Arizona mentioned taking Noah shopping for the trip tomorrow. She's always buying him new clothes." Over the last year and a half Arizona has developed a shopping habit. It kind of came out of nowhere, but now on any given day she will come home with bags and bags of new clothes for Sofia and Noah. In my opinion it's become excessive, but she says shopping is therapeutic for her and she always wants the kids to dress nice. Not necessarily in expensive clothing, but just very fashionable. The weird thing is she never buys herself any new items; it's always just the kids. I even found bags of onesies and other baby items in the closet in her office. I was looking for something, and I came across at least five bags of just onesies and she hasn't mentioned them to me at all. She's patiently been waiting for me to bring up the baby topic again and honestly I've thought about it over the months, but probably not as much as she would like. I'm not sure if this is her way of dealing with us waiting to have another kid, or if she just really has an interest in baby clothing. Either way, I haven't said anything to her about it. I figured maybe it's just a personal thing, and I don't think I'm supposed to know about the clothes in office closet.

"Well they better get here soon because they flashed the lights meaning a five minute warning."

"She'll be here. She promised she would. Otherwise she will have to explain to Sof why her mommy wasn't in the front row like I promised her. I told her just to look at us if she gets nervous or anything."

"Please, have you met our daughter? She lives and thrives off attention. I don't think she's got a nervous bone in her body."

"Mama! Mama!" I know that voice anywhere. It's the sweet voice of my son Noah.

"Sorry we're late. There was a sale at the store and the line was ridiculously long." Arizona says taking a seat and giving me a kiss. "But Noah got a new clothes for California. Isn't that right, bud?"

"Mhmm. Mommy got me lots of shirts." He says moving over into my lap. "Hi Mark." He waves. Mark and Noah have a solid relationship. Most times when Mark is around he's spending time with Sofia, but sometimes all three of them will hang out and a few times it will just be Mark and Noah. Noah hasn't asked too many questions, but knows that he's his sister's dad and that's pretty much it. He doesn't completely understand why Sofia has a dad and he doesn't, but I'm sure that conversation will come up in a few years. We do try to limit his time with him though because it's important for Sof to have her alone time with her father and because Arizona and I are Noah's parents. Mark is nice to have around, but it's not his responsibility to parent him and we don't want him to. Arizona and I take deep pride in raising our son together. It hasn't always been easy and we've gone through some growing pains. The public bathrooms are the trickiest. Turns out men get really uncomfortable with women taking their sons into the restrooms to use the bathroom. A few other things here and there, but we've managed and are learning each day.

"Noah, my man. How's it going? You ready to see your sister on stage?"

"Yeah, I like when Sof dance."

"So how many shirts exactly?" I whisper to Arizona while Mark and Noah chat.

"Just a few and some shorts too. I got Sofia some more dresses and sandals."

"And where exactly are all these new clothes going to fit at home? Both of their closets are filled."

"I know, that's why I ordered them each big, new dressers. They should be here in two weeks."

"And you're sure they just had to have these new clothes? Even though they have plenty already."

"Calliope we talked about this. Once a month you go out with your fellow surgeons and drink until late at night and I buy clothes. We each have our own things. The store was having a sale. I didn't spend an outrageous amount of money or anything. That's not me, I just like for the kids to look nice. No harm in that. So this shopping conversation is over." She says in a very direct tone. It's the same tone she uses when she's done talking about something. Taking my cue, I drop the conversation just as the lights dim and the performances start. After twenty minutes into the recital Sofia's group finally came on stage.

"Hi Sofia!" Noah waves and calls out. Sof waves back with a huge smile before returning her attention to her group.

"Noah, we can't call out. We have to be quiet." I whisper into his ear.

"I know mama, but I see Sof on stage." He softly answers in return.

"So do I, but we have to be really, really quiet."

"Mmkay, mama. I sorry."

"It's alright." Kissing the top of his head, he leans back against my chest and watches his big sister preform on stage. I have the biggest smile on my face watching my daughter on stage. She looks so happy and hasn't missed a beat. Sometimes I can't believe she's already five and going on six in just a few short months. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday and dropping her off for her first day of kindergarten left me very emotional, more then I expected. Soon it will be Noah going off to kindergarten and that isn't going to be easy either. I like it when they are small and little. They look up to Arizona and I so much and everything we do seems to bring them so much joy. Their innocent laughs and giggles and our family movie dates make me the happiest. Even when they get cranky and cry because their exhausted from a long day still makes me a little bit delighted because they still need and want me to comfort them. It's when they get older that they need us less and less and I'm not ready for that. The selfish part of me wants another baby just so I can have another small person who needs me, but the other part of me wants to have a baby for all the right reasons. I love raising Sofia and Noah with Arizona. She's a fantastic mother and we both have much more love to share with another baby. If I'm being completely honest with myself, I'm partially scared to be pregnant again. My health is still being monitored and being that I'm over thirty-five now all these extra health risks come into play. I don't think I'm unfit to become pregnant, but there a more concerns now. Regardless of any health issues I would love my child, but I don't want to potentially risk their life. It probably doesn't help that I keep waiting either, but as I look on stage I see Sofia beaming with joy. Noah looks on with amazement and I know I don't need more then them. Would I want more children? Of course, but I don't need them. I know Arizona said she would try again if I couldn't for some reason, but I think I want to try again at least one more time.

"Our kid is awesome, Calliope." My wife says leaning over to me.

"I know."

"Our kid is perfect." Mark says on the other side of me.

"I know." I reply back. Her performance was short and sweet, and like any parent I'm going to say she was the best, but in all honesty she was. Sofia is a star. Everyone should know it. After a few more dances the recital is finally over and we go back stage to greet our daughter.

"Daddy, did you see me? I was in the middle. Did I do good?"

"You were perfect! All the other kids should be jealous of you, Sof." He says picking her up. "I was so proud of you, kid. I got the whole thing recorded on my phone."

"I wanna see me!" She begs, reaching for his mobile device.

"Mama, did you like it?"

"I sure did!" I give her a kiss on the cheek that makes her blush. "So good, Sofia. Mommy and I are very proud of you. Noah liked it too."

"Good job, Sofia."

"Thanks, NoNo. Can we go out to eat, mama?"

"Not tonight because we have to be at the airport early tomorrow morning and you need your sleep. You did a so much dancing today."

"But pleaseeee, mama." She pleads.

"Sof, mama said no, but we will take you out in California, okay?" Arizona answers.

"Fine." She says folding her arms and making a pouty face. It used to work on me, but not so much anymore. When you see it all the time it loses its value.

"Sof, I know this great restaurant in California we can go to. We can bring Noah and your moms. It will be my treat."

"Thank you, daddy."

"Anything for my girl. Now, lets get you home cause we have an early day tomorrow. We can pick up some pizza on the way home."

"Yayyy! Bye mama, bye mommy, bye NoNo." We each give her a kiss and hug goodbye.

"Mark, don't be late."

"I got it, don't worry. The flight is at eight; I'll be there by six thirty. Just remember to bring her bag."

"And my iPad please, mama."

"Suitcase and iPad. Got it. Have fun with your dad tonight."

"Okay!"

"Catch you guys later." Mark says walking away with Sofia. I never get used to him taking her, if even for a night, but it's gotten a little bit easier. Mark is really a great dad and Sofia values her time with him.

"Mama, can we get pizza too?"

"How about we go home and get you changed into your pajamas and mommy pick us a pizza on the way home. Sound good?"

"Yeah! I want cheese pizza!"

"I think I can handle that, what about you, Calliope?"

"Whatever you get is fine. Can we walk you to your car?"

"I would love that." She says giving me a kiss and intertwining our hands. Weaving our way pasts the other kids and parents; we walk Arizona to her car before walking back to my car and buckling Noah in. By the time we got home he has almost asleep, which is no surprise, and only managed to eat half a slice of pizza and some apple slices before dozing off. Once he was down for bed, Arizona and I packed all bags for our trip and double-checked our flight information.

"Are we all set for tomorrow?" Arizona asks turning off the light in the bathroom and joining me in bed.

"Yep. We should be good to go." I reply, locking my iPad and putting on my bedside table.

"Good, I'm excited. It will be nice to get away if only for a little bit." She comments rubbing some lotion on her hands. "Sofia was really good tonight. I mean I figured she would be since she's been practicing like crazy, but being on stage seemed to really excite her."

"I know what you mean. She should keep with it."

"I think she should too, seriously. You know when I was little I tried ballet, soccer, even played an instrument for a year, but sometimes I wish my parents just told me to pick one and stick with it. Too many options can be confusing."

"She's five going on six, I'm sure she's going to change her mind again."

"I know, but we should really encourage her to stick with dance. If she wants to try a sport or something that's fine, but she should continue with dance. Unless she turns out to really hate it or something, but I don't see that happening. Not to mention she looked absolutely adorable with her pigtails and dance outfit."

"That she did. Speaking of adorable children, I think I'm ready."

"Ready for what?" She draws out in question.

"To have another kid. I want to start the process of me getting pregnant." I answer nervously. I don't know why I'm nervous to talk about this with my wife, I can talk to her about anything, but my stomach flutters a little thinking about this.

"Oh." She says dryly. A little too dryly for my liking.

"Oh? What does that mean?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound to bland, but I just wasn't expecting you to say that."

"Okay…"

"I just meant that you said you would talk to me when you were ready to try again, but it's been over a year since you mentioned a kid, so I kind of just settled on the fact that we have two wonderful children and we weren't going to have anymore and I've become okay with that."

"Oh."

"Yeah." The silence in the room is deafening.

"You weren't going to say anything? Not even about you trying again?"

"I don't know. Maybe…probably not though. It felt like we have an unspoken agreement. Sure, whenever I see a pregnant woman at the store or something I would get a small smile thinking about having another kid, but then I would come home and a glass would be knocked over from Sofia dancing around the house and Noah would start crying because his favorite sippy cup is dirty and he can't use it at dinner. Times like those when I thought maybe two kids is enough."

"So what are you saying?"

"I'm saying I just got used to the idea of only having Noah and Sofia, but if you believe you're ready then I'm ready too. I would love to have another child with you, Calliope." She finishes with a smile.

"Really?" I ask as a grin begins to form on my face.

"Yes, really!" She says giving me a kiss. "I can't wait to see you pregnant. You were so kind and understanding with me I want to return the favor. Oh! This means I get to decorate another baby room, I love doing that. We get to pick out names and get new baby clothes! Sofia and Noah would be so excited – I think. I swear those two are so spoiled, I'm not sure if they want another kid around moving in on their territory. My mother, oh my gosh, my mother will be thrilled!"

"Arizona, sweetie, calm down. I haven't even gone to the doctors yet to make sure everything's good."

"Please, you're fine. You've been taking your medicine and your last blood test was good, right? You told me it was good."

"It was, but my levels are still concerning. They haven't increased, but they also haven't decreased that much."

"Okay, but I'm sure it will be okay. We'll work through all of it. When do you want to start? Since we're going to California I'm sure Addison wouldn't mind checking you out."

"I know, but I just want to enjoy the vacation and when we get back I'll make an appointment with Dr. Caplan and Dr. Meyers."

"Yeah, yeah of course. That sounds good." She says simmering down her energy. "You're really sure about this, right? Cause if you're not it's okay. You don't have to do anything for me. I meant what I said when I said Sofia and Noah are enough."

"I understand, but I'm positive I'm ready. I've had two and a half years to think about it. I appreciate you being patient and waiting, but I certain about this."

"I'm happy to hear that." We share a series of small kisses before finally closing our eyes and going to sleep.

"Mama, where are we?" Noah asks as we enter the hotel lobby. He fell asleep on the airplane and has been slowly waking up ever since we landed.

"In California." I answer, adjusting his weight on my hip as he clings to a stuffed animal.

"Already?"

"Yeah. You were asleep on the plane, buddy. What do you wanna do today?"

"I dunno." He says rubbing his eyes.

"Next guest, please!" The receptionist's calls. "Hi, welcome to T Hotels. How can I help you?" She greets with a big smile.

"Ah yes, we're checking in today."

"Excellent. Can I have your name please?"

"Cal—"

"Noah Caleb Torres!" My son answers quickly and proudly.

"Thanks for that, Noah." I reply giving his cheek a big kiss. "The reservation should be under Callie Robbins-Torres."

"Of course, of course Mrs. Torres." She says with added energy. "We've been expecting your family's arrival. You all will be staying in the Penthouse suite and we've made all the accommodations for your children. Someone will bring your bags right up." She says passing me our room keys. "Please enjoy your stay and don't hesitate to ask for anything."

"Thank you. You've been very helpful today, Susan." I reply glancing at her nametag. Turning around I see Arizona and Sofia sitting on a couch talking. I put Noah down and he runs over to them.

"Is everything good?" Arizona asks when I approach them.

"Yep. We can go up now."

"Mama, can I push the elevator button?" Sofia asks.

"No, I wanna push!" Noah counters.

"I asked first, mama please?!"

"Mommy, I wanna push! Sof always push the button." Our son continues to whine towards Arizona. I never thought something so simple as an elevator button would create such a huge debate, but every time we use an elevator to get somewhere they have this same argument.

Not true, you pushed it last time!"

"Hey, hey, hey! First of all lower your voices, and second no one is pushing the button. I am." Arizona answers.

"That's not fair." Sofia says folding her arms across her chest. "Mama, pleaseeeee."

"Don't look at me. Mommy gave the final answer. Next time don't argue with your brother about it." Once that's settled we finally make our way up to our suite, we are pleasantly greeted by a bouquet of flowers from my dad and fresh cookies for the kids. The Penthouse is much like an upscale condo. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living area, dining table, modern kitchen, a balcony with a view of the Pacific Ocean, and a few other amenities. Essentially a home away from home, and it's much needed when you have kids. Sometimes I forget how nice the hotels are, I never really thought much of it growing up around them all the time, but they are a friendly reminder of how blessed and fortunate we are. Especially since all the expenses are covered.

"I don't like my room, Mama." Sofia says returning to the living area after giving her room a glance over.

"Why not? You've got you own bed and bathroom just like you do at home."

"But it's boring and I don't have any toys." She frowns.

"You can play with me, Sof." Noah replies from his seat on the floor surrounded with all the toys we packed in his backpack.

"No, those a baby toys. I'm not a baby. I'm a big girl."

"Don't call your brother a baby, he doesn't like that."

"Sorry Noah." The first time she called Noah his real name instead of NoNo I was shocked. It was so unexpected, but now she switches between the two. "Can I go to daddy's now? I've got toys in my room there."

"He's at work right now, remember? He left once we got to California. You are going to split your time between here and your dad's."

"Fine. Can I watch tv on my iPad now?"

"Hold on a sec." Arizona interjects. "Sof come sit next to your brother for a second. Callie, come over here too." She says patting a spot on the couch next to her. "Noah, can you stop playing for a minute."

"Okay."

"Good. Now that I have everyone's attention I just want to say that mama and I planned this special vacation for you guys so we could have fun. So we are going to cut down on the screen time and hang out with each other. Are you guys hungry? We could go grab lunch and maybe go to the pool later?"

"Can I get chicken nuggets?"

"I want chicken nuggets, too!" Sofia replies.

"Good, something you two agree on. Yes, you guys can both have chicken nuggets. Now go put you shoes on, please." They quickly scamper off, leaving just Arizona and I alone on the couch.

"What was that all about?"

"When I heard our daughter complain about her five star bedroom I knew something had to be said. I wish when I was their age I had vacations like this. I don't want them to just spend it complaining and playing on their iPads, so I just thought I would remind them of why we are here, that's all."

"Thank you." I give her a kiss on the lips that gets me all tingly inside, but before I can think about deepening it I hear the pitter patter of shoes on the floor.

"I hope you know I plan on kissing you in many, many other places at some point during this vacation." She whispers in my ear.

"Hmmm, like where?"

"I could tell you, but I rather show you later."

"I'm going to hold you to that." I flirt back.

"Good."

"We're ready!" Sofia yells, effectively ending our sexy banter.

"Mama, can we go swim now?" Noah asks stuffing his last few French fries in his mouth. "I finished." He mumbles.

"I've got a little surprise. We are going to go swimming at Aunt Addison's house." I've been texting with her on and off all day and she invited us over to swim and catch up. "She's excited to see you guys."

"Yayyyy!" They both cheer animatedly.

"Sound good?"

"Mhmm! I love Aunt Addie."

"Is that okay with you, babe?" I ask Arizona.

"Yeah, I'm with Sof. I love Aunt Addie too."

"Good! Well we need to head up and get you guys changed into swimsuits and I'm going to stop at the front desk to get us a car service."

By the time we finally arrived to Addison's house, an hour has passed since lunch and the kids are more then ready to go swimming.

"Does Aunt Addie got swim toys?"

"I don't know we have to ask her." I reply knocking on the front door.

"Well if it isn't the Robbins-Torres family on my front steps!" Addison greets us in her bikini top and shorts.

"Hey Add—"

"Oh my gosh! Look at Mr. Noah! He's so adorable, Callie." She says taking him from my arms and cutting me off. "It's so not fair how cute your kids are. How ya doing, Noah?"

"Do you got swim toys?" He asks unfazed by her excitement.

"Hmmm, do I have any swims toys?" She pretends to think about for a minute, "Of course I have swim toys for my favorite boy! What kind of Aunt would I be if I didn't? Where's your sister?"

"Right here!" Sofia answers. "Am I your favorite too?"

"Of course you are! Noah is my favorite boy and you're my favorite girl. You mom sent me the video of you dancing. You were very good, Miss Sofia."

"Thank you." She blushes. "Can we swim now?"

"Sure thing! You know where the pool is." She says setting down Noah. Having been to Addison's house a few times, they take off running through the house in the direction of the pool.

"Don't get in without me or mommy!" I yell, stepping further into the home.

"Don't worry, Josh is already back there." It seems Addison's bad luck with men ended last year because she and Josh have been together ever since. Leave it to Addison Montgomery to date a player on the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team. It turned out that Josh played college baseball with Teddy's husband, Henry so they already knew each other.

"Callie Torres you are one lucky woman, look at your wife! She's hot."

"I know, it's the haircut." Six months ago Arizona came home with a new haircut, completely taking me by surprise. It stops just above her shoulders and is absolutely gorgeous.

"Get over here and give me a hug!"

"It's nice to see you too, Addison!" Arizona laughs. "Thanks for having us over."

"Of course. You guys are basically family. Come on, let's go out back." Walking through her living room and kitchen I see Noah and Sofia seated in a pool chair watching Josh blow up some of the pool toys through the sliding glass door.

"He's really great with kids." Addison reflects looking on at the scene outside. "He's got a bunch in his family."

"Have you guys talked about having them?" Arizona inquires.

"A few times, not a full blown serious conversation though. Marriage has come up too, but again noting serious. It's just really easy between us, although I think if I found out tomorrow I was pregnant he would be happy about it."

"Would you be happy about it?"

"Yeah, I honestly think I would. I love him and he's just a great all around guy. The main different between him and the other guys I've been in relationships is that we actually have fun together. Besides all the romance, which is great, we thoroughly enjoy the other's company. He took me to a carnival the other the day. It was mostly crowded with parents with their children and high school teens on dates, but here we were as two grown ass adults laughing, playing arcade games, eating junk good, and going on rides. I laughed and smiled the entire time. And it doesn't hurt that I get to wake up to that everyday." She comments with a sly smile pointing to hey boyfriend who's in the process of taking off his t-shirt and getting into the pool. His body clearly resembles that of a pro-athlete, fit and muscular in all the right places with a few tattoos on his arms. "Trust me, if I knew he played baseball I would've been a fan much earlier." She says opening the door and stepping out.

"I mean this in the most platonic way possible, but he's very attractive."

"I know exactly what you mean, babe." I reply planting a kiss on my wife's cheek and following Addison outside. "Did you say thank you to Josh and Aunt Addison for the toys, Noah?"

"Thank you, Josh and Aunt Addie." Bending down, I rub sunscreen over my son's body as well as Sofia's while Arizona helps them put on the floatation devices. As soon as they are done they run to the edge of the pool.

"Hold up a sec, I have to get in with you guys." I state, taking off my shirt leaving me in my bathing suit up.

"I can watch them Callie." Josh offers. "They've got their floaty things on and we won't go too deep."

"It's okay, you don't have too."

"Truly it's fine."

"Yeah, let him watch them while I make you guys my signature margarita." Addison says walking over to her outside wet bar.

"I wanna play with Josh!" Sofia yells.

"Yea, me too!" Noah agrees.

"Okay, but listen to Josh and be careful."

"Okay!" They respond in unison.

"Let's go see what Addison is up to." Arizona says taking my hand and leading me away.

"I never thought I'd see Addison Montgomery working behind a bar." Taking a seat across from my best friend at the bar, Arizona stands in front of me between my legs leaning back on my chest just a little. I possessively and protectively wrap my arms around her hips and place a kiss on some of her exposed back.

"Funny." She replies sarcastically. "I've actually become a very good bartender. I can only make frozen margaritas and a rum and coke, but I'm working on it."

"Arizona and I will be the judge of that. Two margaritas please!"

"Coming right up!" She smiles. "So you guys are here until the end of the week, what else do you have planned?"

"We don't have much planned," Arizona begins. "Whatever the kids feel like doing. Sofia is going to spend a couple days with Mark, so it will just be Callie and I with Noah."

"Well if you want you can bring him to one of Josh's games. They are having a home stand so they will here all week. Does he like baseball?"

"He likes almost anything at this age, but I'm sure he will like that." I reply.

"Good, one of the perks is that I get great seats. He'll be up close and personal with all the action."

"I'm sure Noah will love that."

"So, I heard what the kids are up to, but what are you guys?" My best friends ask as pours some ingredients into the blender. "This is your vacation too."

"Uhh, we haven't really planned anything for just the two of us." Arizona says giving me a look over her shoulder. "Just being here with Callie and the kids is rewarding enough. We're also so busy at home so this is a nice change of pace."

"How about you guys go out tonight. Josh and I can watch the kids here. Have a couple's night out. Get dressed up, eat some good food, and go back to your hotel and have passionate rounds of sex. Or stay in, order room service, and make love until the sun comes up. Either way, do something. The kids can't have all the fun. Besides, this will be good practice to see if Josh and I would make good parents together."

"So is this a test so you can check out your parenting skills with Josh or do you really want Arizona and I have a night out?"

"Both." She smirks as she pushes the button on the blender to mix up our drinks. "Shoot. I forgot the good glasses inside. I'll be right back. Think it over." Addison suggests walking away.

"So what do you wanna do?" Arizona asks turning around in my arms. "Should we let Addison and Josh watch the kids while we do something?"

"Maybe?" I question with hesitation. "I would feel kind of bad that we came on vacation together only to leave them for a night." I add, interlocking my fingers behind her back and tugging her closer.

"True, but like you said it's just a night, and I think we deserve a night for just the two of us. It's been a while."

"No, we had one…umm…wait, I think there was that one time…" I'm trying really hard to think of when it was just Arizona and I. All the days seem to blend together after a while.

"Exactly my point. You can't even remember!"

"I know I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. It's not just you, but maybe we should take Addison up on her offer. The kids love her and they seem to be having a good time with Josh as well." She says giving them a peek in the pool a few feet away. Turning around myself, I see Sofia and Noah with huge smiles on their faces as Josh spins them around in a pool tube. "I'm not sure how much they will miss us."

"Okay, let's just have a you and me night!"

"Really?"

"Yep!" The height advantage her standing up and me sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to kiss her right in the valley of her chest between to perfectly round breasts encased in a black bikini top.

"That tickles, babe."

"Fine. I'll stop."

"I didn't say stop, I just said it tickled a little."

"Good to know. Just think of it as a preview for tonight." Licking my lips with a grin, I tilt my head up to capture her lips in a kiss. Her arms rest lightly on my shoulders as I trail my hands up and down the sides of her body. Our mouths open together and I moan at the taste of her tongue.

"Well judging by this little display of affection, you two will be taking me up on my offer?" Addison smirks as she starts to fill our glasses with the frozen drink. Giving my wife one last peck, she turns around and we both give our attention back to the bartender.

"You'd be correct." I answer taking a drink and testing out the concoction. "Hmmm, not to bad, Addie."

"Good, right?"

"Might have to borrow this recipe myself. So how do you plan on keeping our children entertained for the evening?"

"I think the pool will do a good job with wearing them down, but I'm sure we've got some games around the house and maybe we can end the night with s'mores around the outside fire pit.

"That's so L.A." Arizona mocks jokingly while downing her drink. "So my wife and I are childless for the night. What should we do?"

"I think I saw a little preview, but I know a couple of nice lounges if you guys want some drinks and appetizers. Callie could take you to the restaurant we went to last time she was here….ohhh, I know a hot downtown club if you guys wanna get a little dirty on the dance floor."

"Dirty on the dance floor, really?"

"Hey, I'm just saying I know a place." She says defending herself. "Look, I'll send you the name and address of a few places and you two decide." We continued to drink and talk for a few minutes before rejoining everyone at the pool and hanging with them. Sofia and Noah were more then thrilled to spend the night and lucky for us we packed a few extra items with us in our pool bag for them to use tonight. We promised to be back in the morning to eat breakfast with them. Catching a ride back to the hotel, we both passed out as soon as we got to the room. The combination of early morning traveling, sitting out in the hot sun, and Addie's drink made us completely exhausted. By the time I woke up and looked over at the clock it was just after six in evening. Plenty of time of time to get up, get ready, and go do something.

"Arizona, are you awake?" I whisper softly.

"No." She mumbles back half serious. Leaning up on my elbow, I move a hand across her chest and slowly slip it under the cup of her swimsuit and begin caressing her breast. "If you keep doing that I just might wake up." My wife tells me. I use my thumb to rub her nipple to hardness and pull down the material. Sticking my tongue out, I lean down and work my tongue over her hardened peak. I feel her body start to move and come alive as she arches her breast deeper into my mouth. I flick the tip of my tongue over her nipple rapidly before looking up at her again.

"Are you awake now?"

"Almost." I knit my eyebrow in question until I see her pull down the material covering her other breast, giving me a hint to repeat my actions. Like before, I rub her nipple to hardness with my thumb before sucking her into my mouth and releasing it with a pop sound.

"Now?"

"Mmmm, yes. I like waking up that way."

"Just doing my wifely duties." I smile, nuzzling my head into her neck and placing light, pleasing kisses. "What do you want to do tonight?"

"Well I'm kinda liking this right now." She hums, placing a hand on my back. "And it would even better if this was gone." Pulling the tie loose on my bikini top, letting the material fall open. Sitting up, I throw the offending item to the floor and am quickly pushed back and straddled by my wife. She runs her fingers through her hair while giving me a sultry smirk and untying her top and letting it fall off. Pulling her back down for a hungry kiss, I moan at the feeling of our chests touching and her nipples on my breasts. I help her push off the remaining clothes on her lower body.

Her blonde locks tickle my skin as she kisses down my body and loosens my shorts and pulling them off as I lift my hips in assistance. "You smell so good, Calliope. It's incredibly sexy." She says nudging her nose in my aroused center. "Open your legs for me, baby." Following her instruction, I spread my legs and she immediately gives my slit a long lick. "God, that's good."

"Come up here and kiss me." Seconds later her tongue plunges deep into my mouth and I taste myself on her. Snaking a hand down between our bodies, I run my fingers through her juicy pussy lips gathering all the arousal she's giving me. "You're so fucking wet, Ari. You feel amazing, baby."

"Fuck me, Calliope, Fuck me hard." She growls into my ear. Circling her entrance, I surprise her by driving two of my fingers deep inside her depths before adding a third. "Yes! Shit, baby you're so deep." She yells, arching her back. "Fuck my pussy, baby. It's yours, love."

After rounds and rounds of pleasure, we decide to stick with the theme of staying in. I hop in shower as she orders room service and finds something for us to watch on television.

"Baby," She warns, knocking on the door before opening it. "The food is here and I think I found us a movie to watch."

"Okay, great. Thanks." Brushing through my wet hair, my wife comes up behind me and loosens my towel making it drop. "Ready to go again, are we?"

"Yeah, but I just wanted to see something."

"Ummm, okay…" Feeling slightly vulnerable standing before the mirror in the nude, I put by brush down and catch my wife's eyes in the mirror. "Arizona, what is it?"

"I just…" Stepping up directly behind me, she wraps her arms around me and starts rubbing her hands over my stomach. "I'm just trying to imagine you with a big, swollen belly housing my child. I've always felt sad that I missed out on that with Sofia, and I know I won't get a chance to ever see it, but with our next one I really want to be there for you. I want to be apart of everything like you were for me. You're already so beautiful now and I know you're going to look absolutely stunning carrying our child. I'm just so deeply in love with you with each passing day and I'm so ready for this. It might not be all roses and bubbles, but I'm ready for all of it."

"I really do want this, Arizona. With you and the kids. I'm nervous and I feel like it's going to be extremely hard going through the process, but I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else." Turning around in her arms, I stare right into her baby blue eyes that I thank God I get to see each morning. "You're my rock. Sometimes I wish we could just make a baby like other people can without all the doctor's visits and hormone drugs. Just out of love, you and me, in the heat of passion."

"I know what you mean. I think that too sometimes and I'm pretty sure we'd have five or six kids by now, but it doesn't matter how it comes to be. It's going to be apart of our family and us." She says giving me a kiss. "Now, put some clothes on before I can't help myself any longer."

"You were the one to drop my towel."

"I know, but you need to cover up while we eat so I won't be tempted to ravish you again."

"Your insatiable, Arizona. I don't know if I can keep up with this pace for the rest of our lives."

"Well, right now we're young and in love, so let's just enjoy it for as long as it will last." She winks.

Once again, thanks for reading! It's been a fun journey. Hopefully I'll be back with more!
