Arizona had done her best the next day to avoid the two people she enjoyed seeing most. She didn't want to run into Teddy because she didn't want to have to tell her she was right about Callie. She didn't want to run into Callie because she wasn't sure how she wanted to approach the situation yet. She made it through the next two days without seeing either of them. She was thankful Teddy was off and thankful that she and Callie just managed to not cross paths.

She sat on her couch with a glass of white wine in her hand and a blanket over her legs. Why was Erica calling Callie all of a sudden? Why was Teddy always right about everything? Why was Callie picking up Erica's phone calls? Why was Teddy always right about everything? Why had Callie not even called Arizona to ask if anything was wrong? And why was Teddy always freaking right about everything!? These thoughts were driving her crazy. She heard her phone ring and it snapped her back into reality. She placed the glass of wine down to pick it up, secretly she was hoping it was Callie. It wasn't. Teddy's name flashed across her telephone screen and she hesitated to pick up. She paused and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Well it's about freaking time. How did it go? You never called so I'm thinking it went well. Did you guys have sex yet? Was it amazing? Are you having sex right now?... Should I call back? If you don't want to tell me cause she's around right now say..um let me think of a good code word.. Say.. Buttered pancakes! It'll be like our top secret code word for Callie's around, I gotta go."

"Buttered pancakes?"

"She's there? I'd tell you to blink twice for yes, but I wouldn't be able to understand... Ya know, cause we're talking on the phone."

"She's not here. Why, out of all of the words you could've picked, would you pick buttered pancakes?"

"Well do you have a better idea?"

"Hm, no...guess not." Arizona spoke softly.

"Are you alright? You sound depressed? Was the sex not good?"

"No, the sex was fantastic-"

"So you guys did have sex..."

"Yeah we did." Arizona grabbed her wine and took a sip.

"Well gee, are you sure it was fantastic? You sound like she killed your dog or something..." Arizona didn't speak at first. She didn't want to have to admit that Teddy was right. Not because it annoyed her, but because she was still in denial about the whole situation. She could feel Teddy waiting for an answer, "Arizona? Did something happen and you're avoiding telling me about it?"

"Maybe..yeah. Sort of." She could feel Teddy's rant about to begin.

"Crap. I was right? The cold hearted bitch is back? She's talking to her again? Erica showed up in the middle of sex? Oh god." As she listened to Teddy come up with every possible situation she chugged the rest of her wine, "Arizona..."

"She called her."

"Who called who?"

"Erica called Callie. During -"

"During sex? Like mid orgasm?" Arizona laughed. Teddy was always good at making Arizona feel better, she now felt stupid for not calling her earlier.

"No, not mid orgasm. I was finished. We were mid kiss and the phone rang. She picked up and I got dressed and left." Arizona now leaned her head back on the couch and shut her eyes.

"Well gee..she couldn't wait five minutes?"

"That's what I'm saying!"

"Well have you guys spoken since? Does she know you know it was Erica on the phone?"

"Nope and nope."

"Wow. That's..." Teddy couldn't even find the words.

"Yeah..."

"Well perhaps she has a good reason?"

"For picking up a call from her ex during sex with her current..." Arizona began searching for the word.

"Girlfriend?"

"What if that's not what I am though? Oh god, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. Maybe we're not together together?"

"What does that even mean? Why wouldn't you be together together?"

"We weren't having sex. Maybe she doesn't think we're officially dating?"

"Well have you talked about that yet?"

"I may have said something about us being in a functioning adult relationship?"

"Out loud?"

"Yeah.."

"Then you're dating, listen..." Teddy began to speak as Arizona heard a knock on her door. She got up and continued to listen to Teddy rant about how she needed to talk to Callie and make sure they were on the same page. Arizona unlocked the door and to her surprise Callie was standing there.

"Buttered pancakes!" Arizona shouted into the phone. Callie looked confused.

"Wait, is this real? Like she's there buttered pancakes?"

"Yes. Yes, buttered pancakes." Callie was extremely lost at this point.

"Oh god. Okay. Stay calm, hear what she has to say, but also defend yourself! Good luck. Be positive. Love you! Call me later!" Teddy hung up before Arizona could speak. She was now left with a panicked look on her face and a confused look on Callie's.

"Buttered pancakes?" Callie asked.

"Um, yeah. You know me, my minds always on breakfast foods.." Arizona couldn't think of anything else to say. Callie nodded with a skeptical look on her face.

"Right." She spoke.

"So what's up, what are you doing here?" Arizona asked calmly.

"Well I hadn't seen or really heard from you in a few days and I wanted to come by and see you." Arizona still holding the front door slightly shut didn't offer for Callie to come in.

"Here I am." Arizona spoke with a fake smile. Callie nodded and began to feel uncomfortable.

"Are you busy or something?"

"No, not really." Arizona didn't really look her in the eyes.

"Oh. Okay then. I'll just go, you seem..I'll go." Callie began walking away. Be nice. Hear her out.

"No, hey… did you want to come in?" Arizona asked stepping out of the apartment while grabbing Callie's arm.

"It's really okay, I can go if you want me to."

"Come in, come in!" Callie stepped into Arizona's apartment and immediately felt awkward. It was apparent things were tense between the two. They stood far apart from one another and didn't make much eye contact. Arizona sat on the couch.

"So, I…um I just wanted to apologize for the other day." She was surprised Callie brought the situation up so quickly, but was glad she did.

"It's fine…" Arizona wanted to play it off. She obviously cared, but she thought maybe she shouldn't act like she did.

"You sure? Cause things feel weird now. I don't want things to be weird. And you just got up and left…"

"I got up and left because you picked up the phone and walked away…" Arizona began feeling defensive. Calm. Be nice.

"Okay, okay…I know the phone call wasn't at the best timing!"

"Why? Couldn't your ex girlfriend just wait five minutes?" Arizona had said under her breath, but it came out a lot louder than she had hopped.

"You knew it was Erica?" Callie responded quickly.

"I'm not blind Callie. Your phone was pretty visible. Look, I'm not jealous or crazy…so don't play me out to be either, it just would've been nice if you could've waited till we weren't together to pick up her phone call." Arizona stood up from her seat.

"I never said you were jealous or crazy, did I?"

"No. Well I just don't want you thinking I'm some insane chick who get's upset easily…"

"Are you not upset right now?" Callie asked.

"Okay, well yes. I just mean…You know what, forget it."

"What? Talk to me." Callie stepped closer to her.

"Why couldn't you have just waited? It was pretty awful timing don't you think?" Arizona said calmly. She didn't want to fight with Callie. Callie sat on the couch.

"I'm sorry. I know, I know I should've waited, but it wasn't what you think it was."

"Well then what was it?" Arizona sat next to her.

"She called me three times before that, earlier in the day. I didn't pick up because I didn't want to. I don't need to hear from her, but then she called when I was with you and I was so nervous for you to…"

"For me to what?" Arizona was confused and then it clicked, "For me to have sex with you?" she spoke quietly. Callie didn't answer right away.

"Look, you're intimidating to me. I was really nervous and then she called again and that wasn't helping the situation and I just got so annoyed with her cause she was ruining everything. When I answered the phone, I told her to stop calling me, that I didn't want to hear from her. It wasn't anything like you think, I swear! Then you ran off and I didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to bother you, I don't know. I wasn't thinking properly in that moment. So much was happening at once. I really care about you. I like you and I don't want her ruining that for me, but now I think that I'm probably the one that's ruining it." Arizona sat and listened. No one spoke for a moment.

"So you just wanted her to stop calling?" Arizona spoke up.

"Yes, I swear."

"And you're intimidated by me?" Arizona looked into her brown eyes.

"Yes…" Callie smiled a little, "You're just…so beautiful and you've been so great and I've had such a great time with you, but I got nervous because, I don't know. I haven't had sex in a while."

"But you seemed fine with me before that." Arizona wasn't fully understanding.

"Because I wanted to be with you and make you feel good. I just, I just got nervous about you being with me. About you not liking what you saw or how things felt, I just wanted to be enough for you…"

"Calliope." Arizona took her hand, "You are beautiful. There's no reason you should feel intimidated by me. Who am I to make you feel that way?"

"A hot blonde with gorgeous legs." Callie laughed.

"And you're a hot brunette with gorgeous legs. You're enough. You're so incredible, I want to be with you for you. I just wanted to make you feel good. I don't want you to feel nervous or intimidated about that. You're who I want to be with." Arizona moved closer to Callie. Callie was never insecure about anything, she had no reason to be, but in that moment she feared that she wouldn't be good enough for Arizona and with the added pressure of the phone call, she couldn't handle it all. She could just feel all her past relationships coming back to bite her in the ass as she heard the phone ring. She wanted to shake the feeling of not being enough once she started dating Arizona, but the fear crept in. She looked up at Arizona, who was giving her an understanding smile. "If you're not ready yet, it's okay. If you promise that phone call between you and Erica was nothing more than a warning for her to back off then we're okay."

"That's all it was." Callie answered.

"Then we're okay. You just need to tell me next time if you don't feel comfortable with something or if you're nervous about something." Callie tilted her head.

"Okay, you're right. I'll try." Callie moved closer to Arizona, "You also have to try and let me know how you're feeling. And by that I mean not ignore or run away from me for two days."

"I did not run away from you.."

"I saw you in the cafeteria yesterday. You ran so fast it looked like your feet were on fire." Arizona laughed.

"So… We have a thing about miscommunication?"

"Yeah, we sure do." Callie gave a broken smiled. Arizona nodded.

"Maybe we should try and fix that cause I was kind of freaking out pretty hard core over here about the whole Erica thing." Arizona leaned back on the couch.

"You don't have to worry about anything involving Erica, ever. You're my girlfriend, I would never put you in that situation." Arizona's face lit up.

"Girlfriend? I'm your girlfriend?" She smiled.

"Well yeah. At least I thought so." Callie laughed.

"So we're girlfriends?" Arizona wanted to clarify. Callie nodded. Arizona leaned in and gave Callie a sweet kiss. Nothing too crazy, but just enough to reassure both of them on their current status. In the past Arizona had been known to freak out and bail whenever she felt like it, but she didn't want to do that with Callie. She usually ran away at the thought of being someone's girlfriend, but with Callie it made her feel so secure and so safe to hear her call her, her girlfriend. She wanted to communicate better, not jump to conclusions, and most importantly make Callie happy. That's all she wanted. Trust. You just have to learn to trust her more.

Side Note: I really didn't want to drag their fight out. These version's of Callie and Arizona obviously aren't exactly how they are on the show. These are more of the sides of them I wish they'd show more. Callie being more vulnerable after being cheated on several times and Arizona being more insecure when it comes to other people and Callie. And between the two of them on the show, their miscommunication get's me upset from time to time.. So yeah. And btw the next chapter's Callie will be shown interacting with her friends as well!
