Calliope

"Calliope!" Arizona calls from down stairs. "We're going to be late, we still need to stop and get a car seat."

"I know babe, I can't find my shoes in your room though." I call back. To say Arizona has been short with me, well everyone is an understatement. I don't blame her it's the anniversary of Tim's death in two days. I've decided to take the rest of the week off to be there for her. I quickly grab a pair of Arizona's cons and race down the stairs. "I'm borrowing your red chucks babe."

"I think I love you more right now." she smiles grabbing my free hand and pulling me towards the car. "We rally have to go though so you can put them on in the car while I drive."

"Well your the one who was saying we would save more water if we shower together and then proceeded to spend the whole time between my legs." I smirk.

"I didn't hear you complaining Calliope." Arizona says with a triumphant smile on her face.

"Oh I wasn't, I'm just saying you shouldn't be complaining how slow I am."

"Ok your right babe, I'm sorry." She says pulling out of the drive way.

"I'm only messing with you baby." I reassure her, rubbing her thigh.

"No, I'm sorry I've been short with you these passed two weeks. I haven't been meaning to take it out on you and I'm just really sorry." she says softly.

"Hey, hey I understand you don't need to apologize. I'm here for you no matter what. I love you and I'm here for you when anything that's gets thrown your way. You can't get rid of me." I say softly.

"Thanks babe I love you too." a beat passes in silence. "Do you know where this baby place is?" Arizona asks looking out the window at all the stores.

"Uhh yeah I think it's near the end up there." I point to the end of the street. "There's the sign for baby zone." Arizona pulls into the car park Arizona gets out and waits till I tie my shoes up and jump out of her rover and grab her hand heading for the store.

"So I've looked online and I've chosen the perfect one for Hunter. I did a lot of research on it, I want the Safe n Sound Compaq Convertible Car Seat. I did my research on it and it's the safest one I just couldn't quite pick a colour though red or purple, I know hunter is a boy but he's not going to know he has a purple seat. I talked..." Arizona continues to ramble on about the car seat as we enter the store and make out way to the counter.

"How can I help you two?" a greying haired woman asks smiling, Arizona still rambling on.

"Could I please get the Safe n Sound Compaq Convertible Car Seat in purple please and we need it in stalled please." I say as the woman looks between me and a rambling Arizona. "She's just nervous about picking up her nephew." I say and the woman smiles getting a young shop boy to grab the seat for us.

"There was lots to choose from bu-" I place a kiss on her moving lips to silence her, I pull back and smile at her.

"Sweetie I'm going to let the guy install the seat in the car and all you have to do is pay." I tell her watching it sink in.

"you already ordered it?" she asks shocked.

"Yeah I got purple because you're right he won't know the difference with what colour his seat is. Now I'll meet you at the car." I kiss her dimpled smiling cheek and make my way to the car and unlock it.

"How old is your baby?" the boy asks, he looks about 17.

"He's 3 months." he nods and proceeds to put the seat in and explain how to change the strap size if we need to.

"Babe! Calliope looks what I got." Arizona comes barrelling towards me with something colourful in her hand. "how cute is this?" she holds up what looks like a very colourful giraffe with a teething ring leg, a mirror on the side and some crackly material in another leg. "You can clip on to the top of the car seat and he can grab it or suck it, whatever he feels like." Her dimples popping in the biggest smile I've seen in over 2 week.

"It's cute, I think he will love it. You want me to drive to the airport? I ask not really sure if she's in the right frame of mind to be driving.

"Yeah sure." and she bounds around the car to the passenger side hoping in.

"And you said we were going to be late." I laugh and pull Arizona down in the seat next to me resting my arm over her shoulders.

"Well I thought we were going to be in the baby store longer." Arizona says snuggling into the side of me as I kiss the top of her head. "Thank you." she whispers.

"For what?" I ask confused.

"You didn't have to take half the week off of work. I would have been ok you know." she states.

"Oh I know. I just would have been worried about you the entire time while I was stuck at work. This way I can just be here for what ever you need." Arizona hums resting her head on my chest as we wait for Ashley's flight to get in. it may seem a little clingy in a way but I couldn't stand the thought of being away from her while I know she's hurting. I know deep down she's hurting but she won't show it to anyone, this past week has been hectic. She has woken up in cold sweets completely drenched from nightmares about Tim dying, crying her eyes out and every time I would get her changed into dry clothes and slowly rock her back to sleep. She shoots up out of the chair as she sees people coming out if the gate.

"There she is." Arizona squeals and runs up to Ashley pulling her into a hug and then snatching hunter out of the carrier strapped to. I make my way over to them, smiling as Arizona cradles hunter in her arms kissing him all over the face. "Calliope this is Ashley, ash this is Callie." I hold out my hand and she shakes it.

"It's nice to finally meet you."

"You too. Zona would not stop talking about you her entire visit." Ashley comments making Arizona's cheeks red.

"Calliope this is hunter." Arizona says pushing him into my arms changing the subject. I look down at the little blonde boy in my arms, he opens his eyes and I' met with the spitting image of Arizona but in boy form and my heart completely melts right there.

"He's so adorable." I gush.

"I told you he was a cutie. come on babe lets get their luggage and he to mommas." she puts her hand on my lower back guiding me through the airport as she chats away to Ashley and I'm consumed by Hunters cuteness.

"So I figured the first week your here you wouldn't mind staying at mom and dads and then the rest of your stay you can stay at Calliopes because teddy and I really don't have the room."

"Oh I don't want to be and imposition." Ashley says grabbing her bags from the luggage belt.

"Oh don't be silly, of coarse you can stay at mine. I've got the room I insist." I tell her smiling as Arizona tries to wrestle a bag.

"Seriously it'll be like staying at resort ash, and ill be there as well." Arizona tells her as we make our way to the car.

"I'll tell Addie to crash Teddy's for that week, knowing those two they will wake up hunter." I chuckle making Arizona burst out laughing.

"That's probably a good idea. Now we stopped on the way and picked up a car seat for Hunter."

"Awesome." Ashley says making me smile because Arizona's the only adult I've heard say awesome before. "I'll have to pick up a pram some time this week I don't want to be having to carry him around our whole stay, I would have brought his but it was to big to lug around with me." Ashley and Arizona load the bags while I secure Hunter in his seat and hop in the driver's seat starting the car.

"I've got a pram you could use, I was looking after Sara when I bought it she loved the thing."

"That would be great Callie, I would love to use it." Ash says as she and Arizona jump in the car and we head to Arizona's parents.

"I hope momma has a fresh apple pie baked." I say as I pull into the driveway.

"Ohhh I could go for some pie to." Ash groans.

"Momma will make us eat lunch first." Arizona says hoping out of the car and unloading the bags. I'm grabbing the biggest bag when I here a squeal and peek around the boot of the car and see momma running down the stairs, much like Arizona does, towards ash and Hunter.

"Hey momma." Ash says running carefully with Hunter towards momma and giving her a one armed hug and then giving momma Hunter.

"Oh my, he's gotten so big." Momma gushes. "Hey girls." she waves to us and heads inside with Hunter.

"Huh? That's what it feels like to be left behind." Arizona says making me laugh.

"Aww your not jealous of your three month old nephew are you babe?" I chuckle making Arizona scoffs.

"Of coarse not Calliope, it would be a different if he stole you though." she leans in giving me a kiss.

"Smooth." I smile and peck her one more time before bringing the bags inside with Arizona following. We dump the bags in the hallway and head to the kitchen where the voices are coming from.

"Ahh look at this picture perfect, the most important women in my life in my kitchen and my grandson in the middle." Daniel says entering the kitchen and giving us all a kiss on the cheek before scooping up Hunter and sitting next to me. "Isn't he the greatest?" Daniel says looking down at hunter in his arms.

"He's pretty perfect." I say as he grabs on to my pinkie with a firm grip.

"I've made a roast chicken for lunch and I just have to make the salad, honey bee can you set the table please." Arizona nods and grabs the plates while ash gets the cups.

"Ill help you momma, what do you want me to do?" I stand and make my way to the fridge to grab the salad ingredients. When I first started calling her momma it felt weird but as the weeks passed I got to know her and she really is momma to everyone, I've grown to love her. Daniel is just a big softy on the inside, we always find something to talk about, Arizona's fascinated with the relationship that's formed between us. I just don't think she has ever seen anyone become close to her dad that she's dated.

"I'm just going to feed him and then ill be down for lunch." Ash says picking Hunter up and making her way to the lounge room.

"We can wait for you dear." momma says waving off her arguments.

After lunch Momma and Daniel gushed over Hunter, Arizona going to check out the green house Daniel put up and I sat on the porch eating my warm apple pie. "I put on five kilo's when I first dated Tim." Ashley's startles me coming out the back door and plopping down next to me.

"I'm pretty sure I've put on a kilo just from two weeks." I laugh. "I really have to start my exercise routine again, maybe I can drag Arizona to do it with me." I say as I shovel more pie in my mouth.

"I haven't seen her happy in a really long time. When we first... first lost Tim I thought she would spiral into this hole and never come back. I got pretty dark but had to pull myself out of it for Hunters sake but Arizona, I was afraid for Arizona. Then one day she just started working and then calling me more and more. She was there for me, it was like she took over Tim's roll of being there for me. I could still see the sadness in her eyes but then one day I got this phone call. Something about slipping and hitting her face while staring at a hot Latina. It was the first time in months I had heard so much emotion in her voice. So I want to thank you for what ever it is you did, I have my sister back." Ashley finishes her speech and I can see the tears in her eyes. I have tears running down my face and am left speechless. What they have been through losing Tim and they came out on top. I'm amazed.

"Im not sure I did anything really I just... I just fell in love with her and I cant or ever will let her go." I tell her honestly.

"That's all anyone can ever ask for really. Tim would have liked you. A lot." Ash says sadly.

"I wish I could have met him, and from the sound of it he would have made an excellent father."

"Oh he would have but there's a lot of Tim running through Arizona so Hunter won't miss out completely." I just smile and stay quiet and we sit there peacefully for a little while until we hear a cry and Ashley's goes to put hunter to sleep.

"Hey beautiful, what are you doing out here?" I smile up at Arizona's words and hold up my empty plate as she sits down next to me. "Ah momma's pie can't get enough of it."

"I think I will over dose on pie. That or I will just get extremely fat." I say laughing making Arizona giggle.

"I'll love you no matter what babe. Are you ready to go? I'm starting to get tired and I really just want to cuddle up with you and watch a movie and maybe you could tickle my back the way I like it." Arizona says pulling out the puppy dog eyes and I can see the exhaustion in her face.

"That sounds like an excellent night sweetie, come on." I grab her hand and pull her up with me. "Ash is putting Hunter down so let's say goodbye now."

We make our way inside as Ashley comes down the stairs. "We're heading off ash, we will see you tomorrow. We should all go out for breakfast." Arizona says walking up to her and pulling her in for a hug.

"That sounds good."

"Babe we could do breakfast at mine, Jet went shopping for me the other day, I'll cook." I say hugging Ashley.

"Are you sure dear?" Momma asks.

"Yup ill have Arizona come and pick you up while I start. Say around 9?" I ask getting nods in confirmation.

"Right it's settled than we will see you two tomorrow." Daniel says walking us to the front door hugging and kissing both mine and Arizona's cheeks goodbye. With a wave were out the door and into the car heading home.

After making Arizona's favourite mac and cheese while she showered I served it into bowls with a glass of white wine each. I quickly drag a mattress from the spare room into the home theatre and chuck some pillows down and returning to the kitchen as Arizona enters, dressed in baggy boxer shorts and a wife beater singlet, no bra. She looks beautiful as always.

"You made mac and cheese?" she asks as the smell hits her and I nod. "This is exactly what I feel like thank you." she says and I give her a peck on the lips before we eat. I finish mine before her so I sit back and sip my wine, I look over at Arizona and study her, her shoulders are hunched and her head kind of hangs and my heart breaks. I can see the sadness in her face and her posture' she finishes the last of her food and pushes her bowl away and sculling her wine. "You want to watch a movie?" she asks. Sure you go pick one and ill be in there in a minute. She gets up and heads for the theatre room stopping in the doorway. "Calliope, thanks for dinner baby it was good." And then she's gone. I put everything in the dish washer and turn it on and make my way to the theatre room and find Arizona snuggled in blankets on the mattress already. "When did you put this in?"

"while you were in the shower, I figured we could just fall asleep here instead of having to move." I say crawling under the blankets and Arizona moves into my side straight away snuggling closer and breathing deep into my neck. "What are we watching tonight?" I ask knowing it will be a Disney movie. Arizona loves my niece's movie collection.

"Beauty and the Beast." I can hear the smile in her voice.

I kiss the top of her blonde hair and press play. "Sounds perfect, sweetie."

"This pram is practically brand new Calliope." Arizona says pushing the pram I bought a year ago up and down the hallway.

"Yeah I only used it for Sara and then I just packed away and forgot about it. There's a high chair I pulled out as well it's in the dining room."

"It even matches the car seat a little. You sure you don't have a baby and just haven't told me about it?" she laughs parking the pram in the dining room.

"Yes babe, one day I'll have a baby but not quiet yet." I say laughing. "You want kids?" I ask suddenly worried about the answer that will come out of her mouth.

"I didn't in high school or college but now I wouldn't mind having a couple with the perfect wife of coarse." she says rounding the kitchen bench and hugging me from behind as she traces circles on my stomach giving me butterflies.

"Ditto." I say turning in her arms and kissing her with everything I have.

Arizona pulls back gasping for air smiling. "Well, ill be back in twenty babe, do you need anything while I'm out?"

"Nope I'm good, everything's set so I'll see you when you get back with everyone." she gives me a peck on the lips and she's out the door.

I begin to whip breakfast together, some French toast and bacon, I won't cook the eggs till there all here. As I flip the bacon over, I hear my phone ring so I set the pan down and snatch the phone up and answer.

"Hello."

"¡hola Callie, ¿Cómo estás?" (Hello Callie, How are you?) My youngest sisters voice comes through the phone making me smile.

"hola Caroline, estoy genial. usted?" (Hello Caroline, I'm great. you?)

"Yeah can't complain much just swamped with home work. Summer school is licking my ass as usual." She complains making me laugh.

"You're the one that wanted summer school so you could make it easier going straight into med school." I counter back.

"Ah Touché. So you got any plans this weekend?"

"I have some. Why what do you want?" I ask smiling ask I start to make more French toast.

"Well since you're my favorite big sister I thought it would be cool if me and my friend Poppy can come lounge by the pool and crash Saturday night? Pleeeasseee." She begs. I honestly don't know why she asks anymore I don't mind her coming over when ever.

"Of coarse you can. You know you don't have to ask. Have I met this poppy before?" I ask recalling my sister mention her quite a bit but not meeting her.

"Nope but you will this weekend, I'm escaping mom this weekend." She says.

"aún siendo un dolor en el culo?" (She still being a pain in the arse?) I ask laughing.

"No tienes ni idea! bueno en realidad es probable que hacer." (You have no idea! well actually you probably do.) She says Laughing and I hear some rustling and someone talking in the back ground and Caroline answer.

"¿Quién es ese?" (Who is that?) I ask because it sounds like a woman's voice. I listen harder as I hear more rustling some other noise that I can't make out.

"Sólo Poppy, ella acaba de despertar." (Just Poppy, she just woke up.) She answers.

"Mmhhmm." I answer as I hear Arizona and the others come inside through the back door and Hunter lets out a squeal.

"¿Qué ha sido eso?" (What was that?)

"sobrino de Arizona. su familia está aquí, así que tengo que ir." (Arizona's nephew. Her family is here, so I have to go.) I wink at Arizona as she walks in the kitchen towards me circling my waist from behind.

"sí, la rubia caliente que te planteo dejar de hablar de que me he encontrado." (Yes, the hot blonde you won't stop talking about who I have yet to meet.) She says as she giggles.

"el único."(The one and only.) I say turning in Arizona's arms smiling and placing a soft kiss on Arizona's lips. "Muy bien hermanita me tengo que ir. Nos vemos el fin de semana. saludar a Poppy para mí. I Love you." (Alright little sister I have to go. I'll see you on the weekend. Say hi to Poppy for me. I Love you.)

"Te amo demasiado. Adiós." (I love you too. bye) I hear a giggle and she hangs up. I put the phone down and turn to my guests.

"Lo siento, sólo mi hermana menor. ¿Cómo están todos esta mañana?"(Sorry about that, just my younger sister. How is everybody this morning?) I ask and they all look at me like I've just asked a stupid question.

"Babe we need English." Arizona says laughing as I turn red.

"Si… I mean yes of course. How is everybody's morning?" I say plating up all the food and Arizona grabs the coffee and we all make our way to the dinning room.

"Hunter was up at the ass crack of dawn." Ashley says pouring a giant mug of coffee as we all snicker.

"I pulled out the high chair for Hunter if you want to put him in there." I say setting everything down as we take out seats.

"This house is gorgeous Callie, I understand why Alex and Becks want to have the wedding here."

"Thanks momma, I do have a pretty good grounds keeper to keep it looking pretty." I say kissing Arizona on the cheek and squeezing her hand. "I can give you a tour later if you like." They all nod while filling there plates with food. "Actually Daniel remind me to show you the indoor golf simulator after breakfast, you said you wanted practice your swing."

"You have one of those?" Arizona asks.

"Yeah it's on the top level of the garage with the gym equipment."

"I've always wanted to use one of those. Are they any good?" Daniel asks as the other women start there own conversations.

"Yeah I improved my swing by about 30% last time I practiced."

The day went by fast, we all just hung around my house not really in the mood to do anything or go anywhere. The anniversary of tomorrow is hanging over us I can see the sadness in their eyes. I took everyone on a tour of the estate and talked about Alex and Becks' wedding. Before they knew it the day had passed by and Arizona decided to take everyone home while I cleaned up dinner quickly while she was gone.

"Babe!" Arizona calls as she comes inside, her voice sounding shaky so I race over to her.

"Are you ok?" I ask instantly regretting that question. Of course she's not ok, her brother had died a year, and she's going to be upset. I walk up to her and wrap my arms around her as she lets out a sob and I instantly feel my shirt getting soaked.

"Can we just g-go to b-bed?" she asks through tears.

"Of course sweetie." I keep my arm wrapped around her shoulders and guide her to my room. She falls on to the bed and curls into a ball, pulling her legs towards her chest. I walk up to her and pull her up in a sitting position and pull her shirt off and unclip her bra before slipping an oversized shirt over her head. "Lay back." I instruct and she complies, I quickly unbuckle her belt and slip her jeans off and she crawls in under the covers. I change quickly for bed and slide in next to her and she shuffles towards me and I wrap myself around her, cocooning her from the rest of the world.

"I miss him so m-much." She whispers slightly sobbing.

"I know sweetie, I know." That's all I can think of to say so hold her until I feel her relax and drift off to sleep, and it's not long till I follow.

Hope you all enjoyed it! :)
