Barbara hears Arizona breathing hard and peaks into the room "You okay honey, do you need any more water or anything?"
"I just need I just need a minute Mom, so would you give me a minute, please!"
Barbara just pulls up a chair in front of her and takes a seat with a deep breath taking Arizona's hurting limb in her hands.
Arizona just watches her, "Mom what are you doing?"
"I'm helping you. It's what Callie would want me to do!"
"Can we please not talk about Callie? I still can't talk about it."
"You're gonna have to soon or later honey she wouldn't want you like this.
"I'm grieving Mom and I don't know how much time it's going to take to be able to accept that she's really gone."
Barbara just looks at her "Are you ever going to date again?"
"What? Where'd that come from?!"
"From me honey, Callie would want you to be happy again and not sit around like this and deteriorate."
"I don't sit around and deteriorate! I go to work and I take care of Sofia and she keeps me from deteriorating and what am I going to do say sorry honey you may have another Mother someday ? No mom, I can't, I won't, not now, not for a very long time!"
"Do you think you will get married again someday?"
"I I don't m maybe."
Barbara stops massaging her leg and looks at her. "Sofia would want you to be happy honey," Barbara says getting up.
Arizona just smiles because anytime Sofia is brought up it makes her smile.
"Are you coming outside with us honey?"
"M Maybe in a little while."
"Okay, well see you out there," Barbara says and walks out of the living room and leaves through the kitchen sliding glass doors and makes her way to the fire.
