THE EMEREALD CITY FREE FAMILY CLINIC

CHAPTER 4

The clinic has taken off as we seem busier than when we all worked for G+SMH. With the clinic hours being from six am to ten pm seven days a week, finding time to do family things with Sofia and trying to find time for some adult adventures of our own are becoming harder and harder to do as Callie's hours at the hospital are more flexible than mine. But this one night, last night, I come home to find my girls fast asleep as it was late. I stand in the doorway of our bedroom to find my wife snoring away. Then I make my way to the guest bedroom and change into my pajamas as I crawl under the covers to try to get some sleep too. All I can do is think how I want nothing more than to slide under the sheets of the bed my wife is in right now and ravish her body. But instead I take my horny tired ass to my bed and think about how my wife's body once felt against mine as I drift off to sleep. At first I think I am dreaming as I feel a body…a very sexy warm body climb on top of me as two hands begin to caress my body under my shirt. Then I hear it…a soft whisper of "Arizona" as I now open my eyes quickly as I see my wife has straddled my body and is touching me all over. When she see that I am awake, she leans her head down but stops short of my lips as she asks "I'm so horny and you're here…do you have a problem with that"? I begin my stuttering session again as I say "No…No…no problem whatsoever" as she ravishes my body as I don't think about anything else at the moment but her.

With the palms of my hands resting on my wife's thighs as she is straddling my lower body, my Calliope takes my hands in hers as she places them on her breasts and I squeeze them gently as she whispers to me "You've always enjoyed my boobs haven't you Arizona" as I lean up to kiss her lips and say "Guilty as charged" as my wife forces me back down on the bed as she kisses me deeply. My hands leave my wife's boobs as they now cup her ass as she is working herself into a frenzy covering my upper body with her kisses and the sucking of my boobs. My right hand drifts down between her legs as I feel her wetness as it begins to drip in between my fingers and onto my residual limb as I quickly insert two and then three fingers deep inside my wife. Her hips begin to ride my hand as she is screaming my name as I try to silence her by kissing her lips before she wakes up our daughter. With my tongue deep down Callie's throat I feel her reach her orgasm as she moans into my mouth. As her body crashes down upon mine and we both are gasping for some much needed air, we lay in each others arms for a while before her new found strength returns and Callie tosses all the covers off the bed. With her head between my legs, my wife brings me to three orgasms with the talented use of her tongue and her fingers. How I miss this…being so raw and primal with my wife.

After a couple hours of intense fucking and love making, Callie is lying on my bare naked chest as she is ghostly tracing lazy circles along my bicep of my right arm. I am lying on my back as I am running my left hand through her hair and down her back as we just lie in the guest bedroom listening to each other breathe. Callie takes a deep breath and says to me in a whisper "Did she ever make you feel the way I do, Arizona"? I kiss the top of her head and whisper softly back to her "Calliope" as Callie raises her head off my chest and looks deep into my eyes. Then with her pleading eyes almost in tears looking back at me I try to say what I thinks she wants to hear which is the truth as I scoot back up in the bed leaning against the headboard all the while pulling her up with me and into my arms. "Callie, I will tell you this everyday if you need to hear it. She meant nothing to me…nothing. I was weak and vulnerable about what happened to my leg and she said all the right things at the time. I lost control and I regret that moment everyday of my life. But you need to hear me when I tell you…you are it for me Calliope Iphigenia Torres. You have always been it for me and you always will be it for me". Then my wife sits up on the edge of the bed as she places her head in her hands and begins to cry. Through her tears I hear her say "That is the part I just don't get Arizona. You knew her all of three days when you slept with her so how can you tell me she meant nothing to you. How can I trust you not to be so easily seduced again in the future if someone you only knew for three days can make turn your back on our marriage…on me and Sofia"?

I am angry now as I throw my legs over the other side of the bed and attach my prosthesis as I say "So this…what we just shared together over the last couple of hours was what Callie…a booty call for you…your need for me to scratch your itch…because by your questions and actions right now…you say you forgive me for my one night tryst with Lauren…but do you really Callie…do you, Callie"? We both lift our bodies off of the bed that we just made love in as we stand to face each other as our anger begins to show itself. My wife runs her hands through her hair as she begins to pace around the other side of the guest bedroom and says with venom in her voice "Yes Arizona, yes I do forgive you for what you have done but you need to understand that this is the second time I have been cheated on by my spouse. So forgive me if I am a little concerned about our future and if I can trust you again". I place my robe over my naked body as I say angrily "When are we going to stop beating that dead horse about George cheating on you. You cannot compare me to him. Yes we both cheated on you but that is where the similarity between the two of us ends because he cheated on you with someone he loved. I did not do that because I never loved Lauren. I have always loved you and for one brief moment I let her get the best of me and seduce me. I cannot keep having this same argument…you say you forgive me Calliope…so forgive me and let's move on with our lives together. Just tell me what you want…I will do anything you want baby, just tell me please". I stand there for what seems like forever when I hear my wife whisper "You wanted it too Arizona…you wanted it too…you could have said no when I came in here tonight…but you wanted the sex too". I walk across the room to stand in front of my wife as I say to her in a funny ha ha kind of way "Really Calliope, that's your reasoning for this late night rendezvous. Yes I did want the sex because I have been craving the touch of your body against mine for months now but do you blame me…have you seen you"? I see my wife smile back at me as I trace my fingertips down her arms and realize how chilly she is as my touch creates some goose bumps on her arms. I take off my robe as I place it around her to help with her chilly body. Then I break the silence as I say "Calliope, all you have to do is walk into a room that I am in and I become immediately wet for you. So yes, I did want the sex tonight and I will always want the sex with you because I love making love to you. I love you, Calliope".

I grab the front of my robe that my wife is wearing as I bring her into a very passionate kiss as her hands become tangled in my hair as she return my kiss. Just as we begin to heat this moment up as we both moan in each others mouth, we both hear a faint voice that has entered our room unnoticed as we hear our daughter say "Mami". Callie automatically wraps open my robe from her body as she wraps my body up against hers as much as she can so our daughter will not be traumatized by seeing her mama's nakedness as I giggle a bit and turn to say "Hello baby girl" while holding my wife close. Sofia smiles back at me to say "Hello mama" and then turns her attention back to her mami as the scene before her does not even seem to phase her as she says to my wife "Mami, why are you in mama's room"? My wife begins to chuckle a little in my arms as she says to our daughter "Sofia honey, why don't you go back into your room and I will be there in a minute". Sofia starts to turn and do as her mami says but then abruptly turns back to face her mama's and says "Mami, are you and mama getting back together because I like it when you both are sleeping in the same bed and don't fight. Please mamas, just tell each other that you are sorry because that always helps me and Zola when we fight". My wife says to our daughter sternly "Sofia" as I watch our daughter say "Yes mami" as she walks back to her room with a defeated look on her face and in that moment I know it is time to forgive my wife because if she had not given the order to Alex to cut off my leg and save my life, I would have died and never been able to fall in love with my wife and daughter all over again. Callie pulls out of our embrace as she begins to walk out of the room as she says "You alright, Arizona"?

I throw a t-shirt over my naked body as I take a seat on the edge of the bed thinking how could I not see it. Not see what is hiding in plain sight right in front of me. My gorgeous baby girl and my beautiful wife…how could I be so selfish and blind as to not see what I have right in front of me. Sofia, who is all of two years and eight months old, who loves me unconditionally, had just moments earlier worn a look of defeat on her face and in her eyes as she pleaded with my wife and me to just say we were sorry for hurting each other. Could it all be that simple…the words of a child…our child…just to say we are sorry for hurting each other so…so very much. I am so lost in my own thoughts about our daughter as I do not even hear my wife come back into the bedroom until she is kneeling before me asking me "Baby, what's wrong"? "I forgive you, Calliope. I forgive you because you love me and I love you and none of the rest should even matter. I know that you need time to trust me again but I promise you I will work everyday to earn your trust back. I love you and for as long as I live I will always love you. I cannot believe it took me this long to figure this out but when I saw the look of defeat in our daughter tonight, I knew that I will do everything in my power to keep you and Sofia in my life. So no matter how long it takes, I will be here to earn your trust back because I forgive you Calliope".

The very next day I could not wait for my session with Violet. I texted her early in the morning to ask if we could meet first thing when we both arrive at work. I was waiting impatiently in Violet's office as she comes in all frazzled from taking Lucas to our daycare as she says to me "Sorry I'm late Arizona, had a rough morning with Lucas". I ask her "Is he alright"? As she begins to tell me about some nightmares he has been experiencing from the move to Seattle, I sit and wait for my turn to talk to my friend about what happened with me and my wife last night. Violet sees my urgency as my right leg won't stop shaking. She takes a seat across from me as she gently places her hands on my right knee to slow my shaking leg down as she says "So what do you want…what do you need to talk about Arizona"?

"MywifeandIslepttogetherlastnightitwasmoreofabooty callforbothofusbutweslepttogether" as I take a deep breath as Violet looks as me with such confusion on her face and says "So I take this sexual episode was not planned on either of your parts…it just happened"? I take a drink of my bottled water, as I down about half the bottle, and then say "No it was not planned. Calliope came into to the guest bedroom after I got home from work and crawled into the bed as she woke me up to say that she was horny and I was there". My friend looked deep into my eyes and says "And then what happened between the two of you"? I proceed to tell my friend that we fucked each other and made love to one another for a few hours but then my Calliope asks me "Did Lauren…Dr. Boswell ever make you feel the way I make you feel, Arizona". As I continue with our conversation I tell Violet "I told my wife that I never loved Lauren and that I have always loved her and that's when she brought up the fact that she has been cheated on twice now by her spouses as she just had to bring up the George incident".

As my friend goes from friendship mode to doctor psychiatrist mode, Violet asks me "So what changed during the course of this conversation with your wife…did you both just get mad and raise your voices to each other or did something else happen"? I begin to cry as I say "Sofia happened". Violet now stares at me with a more puzzled look on her face as she hands me a box of tissues and asks "Did this talk with your wife become heated and you both woke up your daughter with your arguing"? I wipe my tears away as I say "I don't know…one minute Calliope and I were discussing George and my infidelities and then we both heard our daughter sweet voice in the doorway. Calliope asked our daughter to go back into her room and she would be in in a minute mainly because we both were still naked and my wife and I were holding each other as my robe was wrapped around the two of us. Sofia turned to walk out the door to do what my wife asked of her with such a defeated look on her face but then she turns to face my wife and I again as she says "Please mamas, just tell each other that you are sorry because that always helps me and Zola when we fight".

"I watch our daughter say the simplest request as I wonder if it could be that easy. Could we both just say we are sorry for our actions and actually mean it? So when my wife returns to the guest bedroom after putting our daughter back to bed I tell her that I am sorry and that I forgive her for her part in the amputation of my leg. I tell her that I will do everything I can to win her trust back and that I love her and only her and that I will tell her that everyday for the rest of my life". Violet just smiles at me as she says "I knew this move to Seattle was the right one. See you in a couple of days my friend as we will talk again and you will get through this Arizona. You and Callie and Sofia will be a family once again…I guarantee it my friend".
