A/N: Long chapter to finish this story... Happy Valentine's Day my Calzona fiends!
"How's mom?" Arizona asks when Callie returns to the room.
"She's okay, she's just worried about you," Callie explains.
"They are planning to move here, to Seattle," Arizona says cautiously, "How do you feel about having them that close?"
"I think it will be great, they are amazing with Sofia and with our schedule, it will be good to have them around to take her out of daycare," Callie replies. "How about you? How do you feel about having them here?" she asks.
"I love it, I don't think I realized how much I missed them until now. Getting to see them everyday and watching them with Sofia has been great" Arizona replies, sliding over in the bed to make room for Callie to join her.
Callie smiles and lays down beside her, "It's so good to have you back Arizona, I really missed you," she replies softly pressing her lips to the blonde's head and wrapping her arms around her.
The next morning, Callie stops by to visit Arizona after rounds but finds her room empty.
"Where's my wife? Why isn't she in her room?" Callie asks the nurse in charge.
"Dr Sloan took her out a little while ago," the nurse replies.
Callie takes out her phone and calls Sloan.
"Relax, we're taking a lap," he says answering his phone.
"I don't see you on this floor Mark, where exactly are you taking a lap?" Callie asks worriedly looking up and down the hall.
"We went to Peds, she wanted to visit her kids," he explains.
"Did you take a wheelchair? Mark don't let her overdo it," Callie warns.
"She's fine and it's a hospital Torres, there are wheelchairs everywhere," he remarks before ending the call.
Callie hears the call disconnect and she looks at the phone angrily.
"Where's my patient?" Bailey asks looking at the empty bed in Arizona's room.
"She and Sloan are walking around Peds visiting her patients," Callie replies.
"Those aren't her Peds patients, those are my Peds patients, and she is my patient," Bailey says angrily heading over to the elevator.
"Excuse me Dr Robbins," Bailey says gently pulling the blonde out of a patient's room.
"Yes Dr Bailey," the blonde says flashing a big smile at her.
"That doesn't work on me Robbins, I am immune to your sparkly smile, now get back to your room, you are not released to roam around the hospital and Dr Sloan should know better than to encourage you," Bailey says glaring from one to the other.
"She's doing fine and this is good for her, best therapy in the world," he says wrapping an arm around the blonde.
"Get her back to her room Sloan, she has a PT appointment in an hour and she's going to be too tired to do it," Bailey barks at them both.
"Yikes," Mark exclaims, "You'd think that I took you out to the park for a run or something."
"That's next week," Arizona says sarcastically.
"How do you feel?" Mark asks looking down at her.
"I'm good," she says but he can see that she's a little tired.
"Tell you what, let's get you a chair so Bailey doesn't kill me later," he says motioning to one of the nurses to bring them one.
"Probably a good idea," Arizona admits, looking up to see Callie coming down the hall.
"Seriously? You are both doctors," she exclaims angrily.
"Cal, she did great." Mark says helping the blonde into the chair.
"Hey, Lexie and I set a date last night," he says changing the topic.
"You did? I thought you were going to wait until Arizona was out of the hospital?" Callie questions.
"Oh, I'll be out of the hospital next week," Arizona pipes up.
"We're going to get married here in the chapel at the hospital on Valentine's Day," Mark replies.
Exasperated at the two of them, Callie glares at them a moment before turning and huffing off.
"Arizona, your scans look good. You've recovered all of your memory leading up to the accident. The few weeks before the coma may be lost though, but otherwise you're doing great so I'm signing off on your case," Derek informs her the first of the week.
"Thanks Derek," Arizona says visibly relieved.
"Now how is PT going?" he asks.
"PT is great. Uh, maybe you could talk to Bailey about discharging me. I mean, she's worried about me doing too much here, but our apartment is much smaller, so technically, I'd have less ground to cover there," Arizona points out.
Laughing, he flashes her a smile and replies, "I'll see what I can do."
"Torres, she's doing too much here. I came in this morning and she was down at the coffee cart getting coffee and a doughnut," Bailey says, "I think discharging her would put her at home in your apartment and she won't have as much to do there."
"I see your point, but are you sure that she's ready? I feel like I just got her back and I don't want her to leave too soon," Callie replies worriedly.
"Torres, look at her chart as a doctor. There's no medical reason to keep her in the hospital. She's fully recovered and just needs to build up her stamina, which she can do at home with her parents. I'm discharging her tomorrow, we'll set up a PT schedule and then the week after maybe we can get her some time in the skills lab." Bailey replies. "She's already trying to get Karev to bring her cases to consult on."
"I heard about that. Okay, that gives me time to recheck her before I sign off on discharge," Callie says closing the chart.
"Fine, just do it today," Bailey remarks, "I am tired of chasing her all over this damn hospital."
"Are you ready?" Mark asks the blonde.
"Yeah, but where's Calliope?" Arizona asks.
"She got pulled into surgery," Mark explains, "But don't worry, she signed all your discharge papers so you're good to go."
"Okay, but what about my clothes? I'm not wearing a gown home Mark," Arizona points out.
"Oh right, how about scrubs? I'll just go get you some scrubs to wear home," he replies dashing out of the room.
A few minutes later, Lexie shows up. "Your mom came over this morning and asked me to bring you these clothes to wear home," she says handing the blonde a gym bag.
"Perfect, uh, Lex would you mind helping me change?" Arizona asks heading into the bathroom.
"Hey, found some," Mark says loudly as he reenters the room. "Arizona?" he calls out, then walks over to the bathroom and knocks.
Lexie opens the door slightly, "I've got this Mark, just wait and she'll be out in a minute," she says closing the door quickly.
"Oh," he says and plops down on the bed to wait.
"Why are you in my patient's bed Dr Sloan?" Bailey asks from the doorway.
"I'm waiting for her to change clothes, then I'm taking her home," he answers smugly.
"She doesn't have full range of motion on her left side, she may need help getting dressed, did you think of that?" She asks annoyed and going over to knock on the door.
"Lexie's in there helping her Miranda," Mark says coming over to pull her away from the door. "But for the record, I would've helped her. I mean, usually I undress women, but dressing them is just the reverse right?" he teases.
"I really don't understand why she's friends with you Sloan," Bailey exclaims in frustration.
"I'm a really great friend Miranda, and you'd know that if we spent more time together," he says flirting with her.
"Uh no, that's not happening," Bailey says shutting him down. Then turning as the bathroom door opens and Arizona steps out in jeans and a sweatshirt.
"I have your discharge papers and I was going to review it with you, but I don't think I'll waste my breath," Bailey says shoving the papers into Mark's hands and then leaving abruptly.
"Mark, what did you say to her?" Lexie asks.
"Nothing," he says defensively. Then looking at the blonde, he adds, "Your chariot awaits," and gestures to the wheelchair.
"Okay Mark go get the car and we'll meet you out front," Lexie says as they exit the elevator.
"Nah, it's fine. Arizona and I have this all worked out," he says winking at the blonde.
"It's too far for her to walk Mark. You promised Callie this morning that you'd drive her over to the apartment," Lexie reminds him.
"Lex, here's how we're going to play this, we're going to take her down to the corner in the wheelchair, then she and I are going to walk to the apartment and you're going to bring the wheelchair back to the hospital," he explains.
"But Torres is going to ask me if you picked her up in the car," Lexie stammers.
"And you're going to say that I took her out of here in the wheelchair, which is a true statement," he points out.
"Now repeat after me, Mark pushed her out of here in a wheelchair," he says waiting for her to repeat it.
"Mark pushed her out of here in a wheelchair," Lexie says, "But Mark, I'm just not a good liar," she protests.
"I'm not asking you to lie, just selectively tell the truth," he smirks.
"Mark, maybe you should call a cab." Arizona pipes up. "I don't want her to have to lie to Callie."
"But she's not lying to Callie. And you told me that it was important for you to walk today, so you're walking home today and if it gets to be too much, I'll carry you," he reminds her.
"You won't have to carry me, I can walk that far," Arizona reminds him. "Okay, let's go," she says impatiently.
"Why don't I follow you with the wheelchair?" Lexie suggests.
"Hello!" Callie calls out as she enters the apartment.
"In here," Barbara calls out from down the master bedroom, she and Arizona are talking and watching Sofia nap.
"Hey, how are you feeling. I know that Mark let you walk home," Callie says sitting down on the bed.
"You were right, it was a little too far for me to walk today," Arizona admits reaching over and taking the brunette's hand.
"I was just about to go start supper, I'll leave you girls alone for a bit," Barbara says standing up.
"Mark said he's cooking for us tonight Barbara, so just go relax for a bit," Callie says, "He'll bring dinner over around 6."
"Oh that's nice, he's a very good cook," she replies, "I didn't expect that from him," she adds.
"He can be quite surprising," Arizona admits as she watches her mom leave the room. Then she leans over and kisses the brunette.
"Hmm," Callie says wrapping her arms around the blonde, but careful not to wake up their daughter sleeping on the bed beside them.
"It's so good to be home," Arizona says relaxing into the brunette's embrace.
"I hope that everyone is hungry," Mark says as he and Lexie enter the apartment with dinner. "Braised short ribs, roasted beet and goat cheese salad and spicy polenta," he says as they set down each dish.
"It smells wonderful dear," Barbara says going over to help.
"You had me at short ribs, son." Daniel says clapping him on the back.
"Colonel, these ribs will melt in your mouth." Mark promises, "Oh and I got a six-pack of the beer we had the other night, it will go perfectly with these ribs," he says, "I'll be right back."
"Should I fix you a plate Arizona?" Lexie asks.
"Uh, not just yet, you guys go first and I'll sit with Miss Sofia," Arizona replies.
"No honey, this is your first meal out of the hospital, go ahead and fix a plate, I'll sit with Sofia," Callie says going over to the blonde.
"How are the wedding plans coming along Lex?" Callie asks the younger woman when she sits down beside her.
"It's going well. Meredith and I are going dress shopping this weekend," Lexie replies. Then glancing over at Arizona, Lexie asks, "Uh, have you thought about what you're wearing yet, Arizona?"
"Actually, I haven't. I guess that I need to figure that out, it's only a few weeks away now," the blonde admits.
"I would love to take you shopping dear," Barbara offers.
"Gosh, Mom we haven't gone shopping together since forever and we were never that good at it," Arizona reminds her.
"I'm sure that we will be fine, Arizona. You're no longer a petulant teenager," Barbara teases.
"I think that's a great idea," Callie says, knowing that shopping with the blonde is horribly frustrating. "Are you going to wear a dress as best man?"
"Lex, what colors did you pick for the wedding?" Arizona asks.
"Mark's wearing a black tux with red accents, so I thought that you could wear black too," she explains to Arizona.
"How was it today? Sorry I didn't make it to your PT appointment," Callie says entering the bedroom.
"It was good and I think he's going to sign off on me returning to work," she says as closes the journal that she was reading and smiles at the brunette.
Walking over to the closet to change clothes, Callie notices the dress bag hanging in the closet, "Oooh, what's this? Can I see it?" she asks excitedly.
"No, you have to wait," Arizona teases as she steps in close to help the brunette get undressed. "You know, I think we have time to shower before dinner," she says softly kissing her wife's neck.
"Mmm," is Callie's only reply as she gently lifts Arizona's face up and kisses her hungrily.
Arizona replies by pushing Callie towards the bathroom without breaking the kiss and somehow shedding her clothes along the way.
"Are you sure that you want to walk to work today?" Callie asks for the third time.
"Yes, stop worrying about me," Arizona says leaning over and kissing her.
A knock on the door interrupts them and the blonde goes over and opens the door. "Mom, you don't have to knock," Arizona reminds her.
"Well, I didn't want to interrupt anything. Oh you both look so nice this morning, now where's my granddaughter?" Barbara asks going over to pick up the toddler.
"Mom, just remember that you can drop her off at daycare if you and Dad decide that you can't watch her and unpack," Arizona reminds her.
"She won't be any problem at all. Your father has it all under control, he's had so much practice moving and unpacking us, I think he could do it in his sleep," she says reminding her daughter.
"Barbara, please let us know if you need anything," Callie says going over to kiss her daughter goodbye.
Arizona follows and kisses her mom and her daughter goodbye.
"You look beautiful Lex," Meredith says as she fluffs up the back of her sister's dress.
"Thanks, so do you," Lex replies nervously. "Callie are you sure that you're okay with helping Zola down the aisle?"
"Zola is going to be the best flower girl ever," Callie says bending down to look the little girl over one more time.
"Zo, your daddy will be waiting for you, and don't forget to drop the petals like we practiced" Meredith reminds her daughter, who nods her little head as she plays with the petals in the basket.
"Don't worry about it Meredith, she'll be fine," Callie says taking the little girl's hand. "Now I think it's time for us to head over to the chapel."
Callie enters the small chapel and smiles at Mark and Arizona standing together a few feet away. The blonde looks gorgeous in the long black dress and seeing her smile makes the brunette's heart flutter every time.
Derek waves at his daughter from the front, he was ordained online so that he could officiate the ceremony.
The music begins and Callie gives Zola a little push and reminds her to drop petals as she walks. Shyly she makes her way towards her dad, each person she passes tries to get her to drop petals, but she stops and then turns to look back at Callie. The brunette rushes down the aisle and picks her up and then they backtrack to drop petals along the way, then the slide into the front pew together.
Meredith comes down the aisle next, stopping briefly to kiss her daughter.
The music changes again and Lexie enters the small chapel, Mark smiles even bigger and Arizona nudges him to move forward to greet her.
"Hi," he says softly, unable to stop smiling at her.
"Hi," she replies, tears already threatening to fall.
"Honestly, I never thought I'd see this day," Derek remarks to his wife as they look around the small reception room at the Archfield.
"It's just so good to see them together finally," Meredith replies watching Mark and Lexie dancing.
Arizona crosses the room with a huge sparkly smile on her face, her blue eyes twinkling as she sits down at the table beside Callie.
"You are breathtakingly beautiful in that dress Arizona," Callie replies taking her hand and holding up to kiss it sweetly.
"Thank you," Arizona says leaning in and kissing her lips. "You are stunningly gorgeous today yourself," she replies breaking the kiss. Then she waits for the brunette to open her eyes before flashing a hotel key card, "I made Mark get us a room for the night. Happy Valentine's Day Calliope."
