CHAPTER 15

Arizona woke up around 11, she had the day off and sleeping in wasn't a problem. After the night she had working on the little boy with short gut syndrome she was happy to have a day to lounge around. Opening her eyes Arizona realized she was not in her own room and looking around brought a smile to her face. Arizona knew this room very well but never imagined that she would be sleeping in the bed the room contained. She rolled over slowly and took in the sight of a sleeping Callie.

Callie's mouth hung slightly open as she lay on her side protruding belly awkwardly between her and Arizona as she snored. For someone growing two tiny humans Callie took up a remarkably small amount of the bed. She was curled into a ball knees brought up as high as she could get them and hands protectively holding her stomach. Arizona wasn't sure she had ever seen a more beautiful sight, sure Callie's hair was a mess and the snoring was a little annoying but to Arizona it was something that she hoped she could wake up to every day sometime soon.

Feeling eyes on her Callie slowly shifted onto her back and opened her eyes. As they adjusted to the light Callie remembered her actions before they went to bed. She remembered kissing Arizona and falling asleep with her arms wrapped around Arizona's slim frame. Just the thought brought a huge smile to Callie's face as she stare at the ceiling fan spinning slowly above her.

"Good morning beautiful" Arizona whispered wanting to lean over and kiss Callie but not knowing if Callie's actions before they fell asleep together were purely hormonal or if she was being brutally honest. Callie had been acting normal the past two months, well hormonal and at times distant but Arizona thought that being pregnant was causing these changes not Callie holding back her feelings.

"Good morning" Callie answered with a yawn. Rolling onto her side so that she could snuggle back into Arizona. Callie had gotten the best night sleep she had in over six months and she had known it was due to the blonde next to her. How did it take her two months to tell Arizona how she felt? If she would have known that feeling the way she did know would be the reward for being honest she would have shouted her feelings from the rooftops months ago.

"Do you care if we just snuggle for a bit? I'm still sleepy" Callie lied, pulling off a fake yawn with ease while pulling Arizona onto her side so they were face to face.

"Sure, but maybe later we should talk about all… all this. Everything that happened I mean." Arizona said meeting Callie's eyes to convey how important it was to her to sort out their feelings.

"Okay." Callie answered easily "As long as you promise to to keep your promise."

"Huh?" Arizona answered.

"I just want you to keep your promise and stay with me as my best friend... I can't do all of this alone" Callie motion started at her stomach and then her hands expanded to include everything around them. "I mean if you don't want more with me…" Callie finished dropping her eyes and thinking for the first time that maybe Arizona didn't want to be caught up in her crazy world. Arizona wasn't just getting Callie after all she would be agreeing to at least having to be around two newborn babies even if they pursued a relationship and it failed miserably.

"I… I don't… I don't…" Arizona started looking down at Callie's stomach and then around than around the room refusing to meet Callie's intense stare.

"It's fine. I'm sorry for… for everything… for putting all my feelings on you and making you sleep in here with me… and… and for everything." Callie said defeated as she kept her eyes trained on the face of the beautiful woman next to her. The most beautiful person Callie had ever seen.

"No…" came Arizona's reply in a stern yet, soft and heartfelt voice.

"No?" Callie questioned confused by the sudden change in Arizona's voice.

"No!" Arizona repeated. "You don't get to tell me all of that, then ask me to stay with you and cuddle me all night... and… and then wake up the next morning and take it back."

"Okay. Well…" Callie said this time avoiding eye contact all together because she felt like a fool for pouring her heart out and still being confused about it if was mutual or not.

"Callie…" Arizona said dipping her head to meet Callie's gaze "look at me please."

Slowly Callie's eyes meet Arizona's. "Stop" Arizona said quietly. "Stop thinking, stop trying to figure everything out. Just be you."

"Just be me… I'm a mess Arizona. I'm all hormones and fat and out of breath and…" Callie began.

"Shut up" Arizona interupted.

"and… and… I'm a mess… a really big mess. No one in their right mind would want to start anything with me right now…"

"Shut up" Arizona repeated a little louder. She was beginning to wonder if she was ever going to get her chance to talk or if Callie was going to convince herself this was a bad idea before she even got to express her feelings.

"I'm ugly, and I'm not just me I'm me plus two" motioning to her stomach. "I'm sorry Arizona… I'm sooo"

And Arizona cut her off with a hard kiss on the lips. It started slow and began to build before Arizona pulled away.

"Callie, shut up" Arizona said, a smug smile gracing her features as she leaned back in and began kissing Callie again this time with more passion. The kiss was beautiful, magical, Arizona felt if all over her body. She had never felt so much from one kiss, it was almost like she was drowning, but in the best way possible.

"Wait" Callie pulled away and looked into Arizona's eyes trying her best to convey the worry she was feeling and the vulnerability she felt. "Are you sure about this?"

"You're kidding right?" Arizona laughed before realizing that Callie was in fact not kidding. "Callie I'm kissing you right now and I slept in your bed last night. If I didn't want these things I wouldn't have done them." Arizona pulled out her best dimpled smile before leaning down and kissing Callie on the lips one more time. The kiss was quick and yet heartfelt. It felt like something she should do every time she left the room or when she got home from work, it felt natural and real.

"Cal I've wanted this for… for a while." Arizona said her own eyes now showing their vulnerability as she looked anywhere but directly at Callie. Callie always had a way of reading eyes that the Arizona knew wouldn't be in her favor at the moment. Admitting to just how long she had been in love with Callie wasn't something she was willing to admit to in this moment.

It was Callie's turn to fight for eye contact. "Zona can you say that while looking at me? I just want to make sure you are okay with… with this…"

"Oh Callie. I'm more than okay with it!" Arizona said shifting her body so that she was sitting behind Callie on the bed and slowly pulling Callie's body against hers. Soon after they were flush against each other Callie's body started to relax.

"Thank you" came a small voice from Callie.

"For what?" Arizona said nuzzling into Callie's neck and peppering it with soft, feather light, kisses.

"For not thinking I'm insane and leaving" Callie signed.

"Never" Arizona answered easily. "You're stuck with me"

To that Callie giggled.

"What?" Arizona asked removing her lips from Callie's neck.

"I think that you are more stuck with me in this situation" Callie giggled.

"Not at all stuck" Arizona smiled, though Callie couldn't see her. "Happy."

"Happy?" Callie said.

"Yes, happy. You make me extremely happy Callie" Arizona sighed.

"You make me happy too" Callie sighed and leaned harder into Arizona's body, snuggling as much as her pregnant body would allow.
