THE EMEREALD CITY FREE FAMILY CLINIC
CHAPTER 5
It's been six weeks…six weeks…since my wife and I made love to one another the night I told her that I forgive her for giving the order to cut my leg off. I know that I told her that night that I would wait for her to trust me again and I know that our schedules at work have been insane as either I am working days and she is working nights or vice versa but come on…six weeks without having sex with her is just crazy. Even though I have not officially moved back into our bedroom yet, we have not even scratched each others itches since that night. But on a couple of better notes, we have been able to avoid Sofia being in daycare all day either at the hospital or at the clinic's daycare facility since we have been on different schedules and my sessions with Violet have become more productive in the way I communicate with my wife. This makes our daughter very happy as she is spending more quality time with her mamas and we are having more conversations with her and each other. She and I along with her Uncle Alex go out to buy a Christmas tree today. Alex helps me set the tree up as Sofia and I have it all decorated when my wife walks in the door at 2:22 in the morning as she sees what we both have done and that we are both fast asleep in our daughter's big girl bed. I feel my wife's lips as she kisses me on my forehead as I turn to lie on my back and she then kisses my lips as this wakes me up even further. My hands automatically cover her cheeks as I draw her mouth deep into mine. When the kiss finally breaks all I hear is my wife whisper "Arizona" as she lifts me off of our daughter's bed and carries me into our bedroom as she lies me down on our bed.
Within seconds our clothes are on the floor as Calliope is lying on top of me as she begins making love to me. Slowly and tenderly my wife begins with kissing me with her very talented tongue as we each explore the insides of each others mouths moaning very loudly as we set off on this journey tonight. Then her mouth leaves mine as she travels down my chest to enjoy each of my boobs as I dart my hands throughout her hair as she sucks on each of my boobs. With her hands still on my boobs as she caresses them and plays with my nipples as she moves her mouth down my stomach only stopping long enough to poke her tongue in and out of my belly button. I arch my back upwards as I moan her name and she continues on her quest. I feel her kiss the curls of my hair before she plunges her tongue deep inside me as I now scream her name as it echoes throughout our bedroom. Releasing her right hand from my left boob as her mouth has my engorged clit inside, I feel my wife fingers begin to move in and out of me at a steady pace. With my hands still in her hair and holding her head in place as she is going down on me, my body begins thrashing all about on our bed. My wife takes her head out from inside me as she screams "Come for me baby…Come for me hard Arizona" as I scream her name "Calliope" with a vengeance as she makes me come so hard. My entire body goes limp as I see my wife coming back up my body as my breathing begins to return to normal but I feel her fingers still inside me as I feel the thumb tweak my clit as I whisper in her ear "Baby what are you doing to me" as she just laughs a little and say "Oh Arizona, I think you know exactly what I am doing to you. You did not think that I was only going to give you one orgasm tonight did you" as she kisses me deeply again and sends me over the edge again. We both repeat this wonderful sexual feeling to each other until we finally fall asleep in each others arms just before six in the morning.
I see this small dark blob with a hint of pink run across the floor of the bedroom and out the door as I hear it giggle as I try to make my eyes adjust to the incoming sun through the window Then I see it again and see that it is my daughter with her dark curly hair flowing down her shoulders and across back and a large pink bow in the middle of her head as she runs from the doorway across the bedroom and into the closet that used to be mine. She is still giggling as she is carrying my different shoes as she seems to be on a mission. Then I see my wife holding some of my clothes as she hangs them up in the closet too. I turn to say something to my wife but she is gone in an instant. Then Sofia comes back into the room with some more of my shoes as I watch her place them in the closet as I tilt my head off the edge of the bed and say to her "Good morning baby girl, and what are you doing with my shoes" as she stops dead in her tracks and walks up to me cupping her hands on my cheeks as she is wearing the biggest smile on her face as she says "I am helping mami move you back into your bedroom. Mami and I are moving your clothes and shoes back into your room, mama". Then we hear "Good morning sleepyhead" as my wife enters our bedroom with her hands full of my clothes as I say "Good morning my love". Sofia runs out of our room and into the guest bedroom to continue her mission of retrieving my shoes as my wife hangs up my clothes in my closet as I ask her "Are you sure about this, Calliope"? My wife leans over the bed to give me a proper good morning kiss as she says to me with so much love in her voice "I have never been surer about anything in my life. I love you and I want you back in my bed…in our bed". I pull her down on the bed on top of me as I return her good morning kiss very passionately but before we can venture any further our daughter makes her presence known as we both hear her say "Mamas, get a room". I begin to giggle very loud at our daughter's response as my wife says "Sofia, where did you hear that phrase" as our daughter just smiles back at the two of us and says "Zola is always telling her mama and papa that all the time when she sees them kissing. Is it bad to say that, mami"? With my wife and I both still smiling at our daughter's question, my wife says to Sofia "No mija, it was just unexpected that's all. You both ready for some pancakes this morning because as soon as your mama gets up out of that bed then we can all go out to breakfast" as my wife smacks my bare ass that has slipped out from under the sheet. With both of my girls staring at me, I wrap myself up in the sheet off the bed because I am still naked underneath as I say to them both giving them a wink "Alright already, I'm up and I'll be ready soon".
I am standing in my office at the clinic staring down at my wife's wedding ring in my hand as I cannot wait to place it back on her finger tonight. We became official last week for getting back together as my wife and daughter moved my clothes from the guest bedroom back into our bedroom. We have not told anyone of our decision before tonight but with the smiles beaming on both of our faces all the time it really does not take a genius to know that we are still in love with one another. We have kept our wedding rings in a safety deposit box at our bank since our separation but here I stand with both Calliope's wedding ring and mine in my hand as I am ready to ask her to be my wife all over again tonight. Sofia is having a sleepover with Zola as I have dropped her off at the Shepherd's before I came to the party that we are having here at the clinic. The other doctors and I are throwing a New Years Eve party tonight for the staff of the clinic along with some family and personal friends tonight. Calliope was supposed to be here by ten when her shift ends but the text I just received she apologizes profusely as an MVC has just come into the ER and she will be here ASAP. I text her back to say not to worry and that if she cannot make it here then I will see her at home later. She then texts me a bunch of X's and O's and then writes "I love you baby" as I text back to her "Me too…Me too".
Karev knocks on my office door and pokes his head inside to say "Hey boss, what are you doing in here. The music, food and fun are out here so c'mon and sing us a song. Loosen up and have some fun even though I know Torres is stuck at the hospital when you were expecting her to be tonight. C'mon Arizona, it's been like forever since I heard you sing a song". I push my body from the front of my desk as I say to him while walking towards him "Why didn't you get paged"? Alex Karev has been my protégé and friend for going on five years now as he says "Chief Megan Hunt, the new chief of surgery, said she will page me if she needs me but right now there are no Peds cases involved with the MVC that just came in". Alex wraps his arm around my shoulder as we walk back out to where all of the other guests are enjoying themselves. We make it to the two large conference rooms that we have turned into one huge room where we have placed a stage and dance floor and the bar area. We also make it just in time to hear Addison and Jake finish their version of "Mockingbird" as everyone is clapping and hooting and hollering as they both kiss at the end of the song. Then Addison screams at the top of her voice "Arizona" as her arms begin flailing about signaling for me to come up on the stage. Then with a little push forward from Alex, I make my way up to the stage. I receive a big round of applause from all of the guests as stand on the stage and tell the DJ my song selection. Then I turn to face my friends and colleagues.
The room quiets down as I walk up to the microphone and say "Everybody having a good time tonight"? With all the folks in the room whistling and clapping, I wait for the room to get quiet again before I continue. "I just want to thank you all for coming out tonight and celebrating this night with me and the rest of the doctors" I say to everyone as I then pause for a moment and take a deep breath. "All of you know about the plane crash I along with some other doctors at Seattle Grace Mercy West were involved in and the personal crisis that Callie and I have been through over the past eighteen months or so. Callie…Callie…My Calliope was supposed to be here tonight to help celebrate this evening with me but unfortunately she is at the hospital right now. So here is the song I chose to sing for my wife tonight and I hope you all enjoy it and once again thanks for coming. I love you all more than words can say". The DJ begins to play the song I chose to sing to my wife tonight as I walk up to the microphone and begin to sing "Far Away" by Nickleback.
When I finish the song I stand in front of everyone in attendance as I confess my love for my wife as I say with all the love in my heart "I love you Calliope Iphigenia Torres. I always have and I always will". As the crowd erupts in a standing ovation I can hear Alex above everyone else as he say "Yea baby, now that's what I'm talking about" as I just giggle at his gesture but do not realize what he has just done. After a little dancing and drinking listening to other people at the party sing some songs, I make my way back to my office as it about ten minutes until midnight. I check my phone but I see that I have not received any other text from Callie since the last one she sent around ten tonight. I hear my door open but before I turn around I hear my own voice singing the Nickleback song I sang earlier to my wife as I chuckle and say "Alex, did you record me singing tonight"? As I am waiting for an answer I then hear my wife beautiful voice singing along with mine the end of "Far Away" as she is holding her phone in her hand and I realize she has received a recording of me singing to her tonight from Alex. I turn around as she walks towards me and swallows me up in her arms as she kisses me deeply and then we both finish the song together in each others arms.
When we conclude the singing of the song to each other, my wife takes my mouth into hers as she kisses me passionately. Then we hear someone from the other room shout out "Thirty seconds until midnight". I slightly push myself from my wife's embrace as I say quickly "Wait baby, wait. I have to ask you something" I reach into my pants pocket as I pull out the black box that holds our wedding rings as I open it taking out her wedding ring as I say "Calliope, I love you and want to ask you if I can place your wedding ring back on your finger"? I watch my wife's face as she smiles back at me and says "Yes Arizona you may" as I slide her wedding ring back on her finger and then I watch as she takes my wedding ring out of the box and places it back on my finger. With our guests yelling "3…2…1 Happy New Year" my Calliope looks at me with such love in her eyes and says "Happy New Year, Arizona" as I say back to her "Happy New Year, Calliope. I love you. Best New Year's Day ever. Can we go and get Sofia because I want to spend tonight with my two best girls"? But my wife has other plans as she says "Let's wait until tomorrow because I want to spend tonight with just you".
