A/N: again I'm sorry for making wait so long before posting this chapter.

I tried to make it up to you by making it longer.

Yay Callie is waking up!

I hope you'll like it.

Chapter 16:

Callie slowly opened her eyes, everything was blurry and she couldn't remember where she was. The room was silent except for the constant beeping of the heart monitor.

She slowly started to realize where she was but she was still confused about how she ended up here. Everything hurt; her head, her chest, her abdomen and her arm. She looked toward her arm and saw a mass of blonde hair sleeping on it. Arizona fell asleep on her IV and it started to hurt her.

The night before, after Arizona received Addison's call, she quickly called Aria. She told her what was happening and asked if she could come stay with Sofia while she was with Callie.

Arriving at the hospital, Addison and Teddy where already by Callie side, Teddy holding Addison's hand... Which earned a raised eyebrow from Arizona. Mark was also here with both sets of parents.

Derek walked into the room stating that that Callie showed signs of waking up but, it could take some time. After a couple of hours and the only thing Callie did was move her fingers. Arizona dismissed them all saying that there was no point in everyone staying here.

Callie tried in vain to retrieve her arm from under Arizona. "Arizona," she said gently shaking her with her other arm.

"Five more minutes Mom," was the response mumbled by Arizona in her sleep.

Callie laughed at the cuteness that was Arizona but soon her laugh changed into coughs. She started coughing louder and louder jolting Arizona awake.

"Wha-ah- OH MY GOD!" Arizona exclaimed when she saw that Callie was awake. She couldn't believe it! She pinched her arm to make sure she wasn't dreaming. "OW!" she rubbed her arms and realized she wasn't dreaming at all. "Oh my god Calliope you're awake!" She said with tears in her eyes. She took Callie in her arms careful not to hurt her.

"Did you just pinch yourself?" Callie asked Arizona but the blonde didn't answer instead she grabbed Callie's face and kissed her with everything she had. The kiss was slow and soft but yet passionate, conveying every emotion they were feeling, all the love they felt for each other. Relief flooded through Arizona. Callie was finally awake after a long month waiting. She let go of all the frustration and anger she was feeling because she didn't need them anymore because Callie was back in her arms.

Eventually they reluctantly managed to pull away from each other and Arizona rested her forehead against Callie's.

"I love you." She breathed against Callie's lips looking at her deep in the eyes.

"You do?"

"I do, so, so, so much. You scared the shit out of me Calliope Iphigenia Torres!" Callie cringed at the use of her full name. "I thought I'd lost you for good, that I'll never see your beautiful eyes again or hear your amazing voice. That I'll never get the chance to tell you and show you how much I love you." Arizona said with tears starting to gather in her eyes.

Callie pecked Arizona's lips and took her in her arms.

"Ssh, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. How could I when I have you and Sofia and I love you too, more than you can ever imagine" Callie said comforting Arizona.

"I'm so happy that you're here, this last month has been-"

"Month?" Callie cut her off. "How long was I asleep exactly?" She asked confused. She thought that it had been unconscious for two days tops! Not a whole month!

"You were in a coma for a month Callie. We still don't know the cause of it because the surgery was flawless." Arizona took a deep breath and readied herself to tell Callie about the baby. "I need to tell you something but I need you to not freak out, ok?" Callie just nodded. "I want to tell you before the others arrive, it might come as a shock and I'm surprise you still haven't notice yet but-"

"Arizona spit it out already" Callie said impatiently. She was still upset with the fact that she was out for a month, and scared that Sofia may have forgot about her. A lot can happen in a month and she wasn't ready to hear more bad news.

"You'rethreemonthspregnant" Arizona spit out in a rush.

"Try it again but slowly this time, please?" Callie said with a small smile

"You're three months pregnant."

The silence that followed was deafening. Callie looked at Arizona as if she had grown three heads.

"Wh-what?" She said with a small laugh after a while. She thought that Arizona had gotten crazy or was making a joke. It was the only real explanation she found logical for her.

"We are having a baby Calliope" Arizona tried again.

"H-how?"

Arizona looked at her with a smirk plastered on her face. "I think you know how we make babies."

"Oh my God" Callie said in awe. She then put her hand on her small baby bump and rubbed it. She looked at Arizona with a look of complete surprise. "We are having a baby!" She said the word finally sinking in. First she learn that she was out for a month and now that she is pregnant.

Being pregnant scared her shitless but she wasn't going to admit that to Arizona. Not when Arizona was looking at her unsure and as scared as she was.

Arizona was anxious that Callie wouldn't want a baby or a baby with her and the fact that she stayed silent made her going crazy. But then she saw the breathtaking smile spreading across Callie's face and she knew everything would be alright.

"You're not freaking out?" She asked just to be sure.

Shaking her head negatively Callie responded "No, I mean a little but I freaked out for Sofia too. I know it's too soon for us to be having a baby yet, we just said 'I love you' to each other. But I know that as long as we are together everything would be fine because you're the one for me Arizona Robbins. Sofia's going to have a little sister!" She finished squealing. Callie knew that what she said might scare Arizona but she almost died and she didn't want to waste any more time.

"A girl, uh?" Arizona said with a smirk. Callie looked at her incredulously "From everything I've said that's all you got? Seriously?" Arizona just shrugged "And yes a girl, the Torres always have girls"

Arizona stood up from the chair she was sitting in and went closer to Callie, she placed her hand on her cheek. She leaned in and when her lips were centimeters away from Callie's plump one she said "You're the one for me too baby." she closed the remaining distance between them. The kiss they shared was a confirmation what they said was the truth and nothing would change. Arizona swiped her tongue on Callie's bottom lip asking for entrance which was granted with a moan from Callie. When their tongues met, they didn't battle for dominance, instead they moved together in sync. It had been a whole month since Arizona felt Callie's lips on her and it felt so freaking good!

They only pulled away when they heard someone clear their throat at the door of Callie's room. Looking up, the whole hospital was practically looking at them making out making both girls blush. Well it's just only Derek, Teddy, Addison, Mark and Bailey in the room. But they can see people behind them trying to see in the room.

"Well I see your motor functions are intact." Derek teased Callie making her blush and Arizona smirk.

"Why did you stop them?!" Mark whined. He received a death glare from Callie and Arizona and got slapped by Teddy behind the head, and in the arm by Addison. He just crossed is arms and pouted.

Derek shook his head and retrieved his light from his pocket to examine Callie's eyes. "But seriously Callie, we're happy you're finally awake." He said with a big smile. He put back his light in his pocket and made Callie follow his fingers. They all nodded with big smiles showing that they agreed with him.

"Ok, everything looks good, if Doctor Bailey, Montgomery and Altman are okay with it you'll be able to get discharge in a couple of weeks, after some physical therapy. You need to get used to walking again and lifting things before we can let you out of the hospital."

Callie just nodded and held Arizona's hand bracing herself for the other doctors report.

Teddy stepped forward taking Derek's place. "I'm going to quickly check on your lungs and ask you a few questions, okay?"

"Go ahead I know the drill" Callie said with a small smile.

After all the doctors check on Callie, they all agree that she could get discharge in two weeks, but only if she fully recovered her motor function after the rehabilitation.

They all gave her a big hug and left the room giving the girls a moment before they all started Callie's rehabilitation process. Mark left the last saying that he would call the parents and update them.

Callie was a bit shocked to know that all their parents and her sister were here. She was more shocked to learn that they had finally accepted her and acknowledge Arizona has her girlfriend. They talked for a while, with Arizona telling everything that had happened while she was asleep.

Then they fell into a comfortable silence and Arizona started playing with Callie hand. Even though the silence was comfortable, Arizona was beyond nervous because she wanted to talk to Callie about the envelope she found in her drawer but she didn't know how to approach the subject. She didn't want to upset Callie so soon after she woke up.

Callie saw how Arizona was fidgeting and nervously playing with her hand and couldn't take it anymore and ask her what was wrong.

"You okay?" She asked, Arizona just nodded and hummed not making eye contact with the brunette. "Arizona look at me." She said stopping Arizona's hand that was playing with hers. "Talk to me baby..." she said pleadingly when Arizona reluctantly looked at her.

Not being able to resist the look Callie was giving her, Arizona sighed and said "I know about the...the envelope" she finally said not breaking eye contact.

She saw how Callie froze for a moment and she regretted saying anything.

"Oh..." was the reply Callie only could give.

After a few moments when Callie decided to talk again, she was interrupted by someone knocking on her door and opening it.

Her face lit up when she saw that it was Sofia and her parents ,with her sister, and Arizona's parents.

Sofia didn't see Callie so she ran toward Arizona who knelt down and open her arms for the little girl.

"Mommy!" Sofia yelled while running toward Arizona. Everyone froze except for Aria and Arizona upon hearing the little girl call Arizona Mommy.

Lucia and Barbara had tears in their eyes while the Colonel and Carlos had smiles on their faces.

Aria just looked at Callie and winked at her making Callie's face split in two from how big her smile was.

"Hey big girl! Guess who back?" Arizona said with excitement, Sofia's little arms around Arizona neck. She sloppily kissed Arizona's cheek. She looked behind Arizona's shoulder and her eyes went wide when she saw Callie looking at her with a big smile.

"Mama!" She wriggled herself out of Arizona and ran toward Callie's bed but she was too small to climb on it. She just kept jumping up and down until Arizona lifted her and put her next to Callie.

"Careful baby, Mama's a little hurt ok?" Sofia nodded and stopped moving. She had big smile on her face but was afraid to hurt Callie if she moved.

Callie had tears streaming down her face. She took Sofia in her arms and hugged her tight making Sofia giggle. She had missed her baby even if it only seemed like she saw her yesterday.

"You're so big now!" Callie exclaimed peppering Sofia's face with kisses.

Seconds later, Callie received hugs and kisses from her family.

Finally, Barbara came closer; Callie stuck her hand out for a hand shake.

"Hi Mrs. Robbins, it's nice to meet you despite the circumstances." Callie said with a small smile. She might seem confidant but she was super nervous. It was her first time meeting Arizona's parent and she didn't have any time to prepare herself.

Barbara swatted her hand away and took her in her arms. "Call me Barbara dear, and none of that handshaking nonsense, we hug in this family. I'm so happy to finally meet you and that you're ok!" She said holding tight onto Callie. "We never saw our Zona this grumpus!" She added receiving a groan from Arizona.

"I wasn't grumpy, I was a concerned girlfriend." Arizona tried to defend herself. "And 'grumpus' is not a word" she muttered.

"Try saying that to that best friend of yours and those poor Doctors, I swear we thought she was going to kill every last one of them" Barbara said to Callie.

Arizona rolled her eyes behind her mother's back "and don't roll your eyes at your mother young lady!" Barbara said turning around facing Arizona.

"How-"

"You forget that I'm your mother, I know you better than you know yourself." she said with a warm smile.

Daniel Robbins approached Callie's bed and shook hands with the brunette. Contrarily to Arizona's mother he seemed more serious and a whole lot scarier.

"Hi Mr. Robbins, it's nice to meet you." Callie said trying to hold the Colonel gaze.

"It's The Colonel" he coldly stated.

"Dad! Seriously?" Arizona was mortified. She had hoped that with the circumstances her father would have dropped the "scary Colonel" act, but no.

Daniel didn't respond and release Callie's hand. However he didn't drop his gazing focused on Callie.

Aria was sitting in the back of the room trying as hard as possible to maintain her calm and not laugh but it was harder than she thought especially seeing how Callie was terrified. Her parents were just watching them waiting to see how the scene will unfold while Arizona sent daggers at her Dad. Pleading look to her Mother hoping that she would do something, anything to stop him from making Callie run away.

"Daniel, come on leave the poor girl alone. Do you want her to have a heart attack so soon after coming out of the coma?"

The colonel still looked coldly a few moments and then his eyes softened and he smile, almost the same smile as his daughter. "Nice to meet you too Callie" he said and patted her shoulder.

Callie released a breath she didn't know she was holding and visibly relaxed. Aria couldn't hold it anymore and started laughing uncontrollably.

After that the tension quickly dissipated. They all stayed in the hospital room, talking and joking with Arizona's parents getting to know Callie.

For the first time since the shooting, Arizona felt truly happy. However, she couldn't help the feeling of dread she had in the pit of her stomach. She tried to push in the back of her mind and make the voice that was telling her to do what was right to shut up without much success.

She knew she would have to tell Callie sooner or later but she feared Callie's reaction especially with everything that had happened lately.

For now she just wanted to enjoy this moment of pure joy and bliss.

A few hours later, Arizona found herself in the hospital cafeteria with her parents sitting across from her and Sofia in her lap. They went to grab something to eat and to leave the Torres's some time alone.

Arizona was giving Sofia baby food, she was a little too old to eat it now but it was still better than the hospital food.

"Open your mouth big for Mommy." Arizona said to Sofia. The little girl looked at her with eyes that looked so much like her and opened her mouth making a little "ahh" sound.

"That's my girl!" Arizona said proudly while putting the spoon in Sofia's mouth.

Arizona and Sofia were oblivious to Barbara and Daniel's look.

"I see you've taken playing Mommy quite seriously" Daniel said break in the silence.

"I'm not playing." Arizona replied curtly not bothering to look at her father.

"Oh come on Arizona! You can't be serious. Don't you think it's too fast? You know this girl for what? Five? Six months? And you're already being called 'Mommy' by her child and she's now pregnant."

"It's not too fast when it's with the right person! She's the one I've been waiting for all my life. Sofia is more my child than you could imagine" Arizona finished looking at her parents and then looking in Sofia blue eyes that looked so much like hers.

"Arizona, honey, we don't want you to make a mistake and then regret it. We are just concerned about you; you're in a serious relationship so soon after what happened in Baltimore. How can you be sure that she is not a rebound?" Barbara asked concerned written all over her face.

"She's not a rebound! And I haven't thought about Baltimore since I met her ok! She accepts me for who I am! All of me, she loves me and respects me. She the one don't you get it?!"

Arizona said frustration getting the best of her. However, she tried to keep her voice low to not scare Sofia and bring attention toward there table.

"What if one day you wake up and realize you made the biggest mistake of your life, what will you do?"

"But you have so many things to think about! How are you gonna do with the baby coming and with the responsibility that come with it. You don't even live together." Barbara said desperate to make Arizona understand her point of view.

"This is for Callie and me to figure it out and not for you to do it for us! This is none of your business. I thought you of all people would understand, you got pregnant two month after you started dating Dad and got married right before I was born"

"That's not the s-"

"This is exactly the same thing. Now you either accept it... If you don't then I have nothing else to say to you." Arizona said standing up with Sofia in her arms and leaving the cafeteria.

Her parents stood there dumbfounded by Arizona outburst. They were just trying to look out for her. They were here her whole life seeing her struggle, get rejected or hurt and every time it broke their hearts. They saw how she struggled to accept herself when she realized she wasn't like other people. They saw her fight for herself when's she got bullied at school. Every time she tried to be strong in front of them but they always heard the sobs coming behind the wooden door at night. More recently, they saw how just one person made her move across the states. Now they see how Arizona fell in love again and how attached she got to these girls. They've seen her vanished a little more everyday Callie didn't wake up and they saw how her face lit up whenever she was with Sofia.

This scared them, because they know that if it doesn't work out between Arizona and Callie. Or what if something happen to one of the girls or the baby for that matter, Arizona would be lost and broken but this time there will be nothing able to fix her.

Meanwhile in Callie's room,

Lucia was hugging Callie tightly with tears dripping down her face. She regretted not being here for her and she wouldn't have been able to forgive herself if Callie didn't wake up. She always wanted to reach out to her over the years but she was raised to not go against her husband's will and Carlos made it perfectly clear that Callie never existed the day he had learn she was gay. She hope that he would change his mind but the years passed and it was always the same.

It took the little blob growing inside Callie to make him realize that he was being stupid and stubborn. She finally got the go again from her husband to reach out to her but the shooting happened and she thought she never will see her daughter again.

"I'm so glad you're ok Calliope! I was so scared." She said releasing Callie from her hold.

"What are you doing here?" Callie asks them, her face emotionless.

"What do you mean? You've been shot, of course we're here" Aria said saying something for the first time.

"Oh really?" Callie said lifted her eyebrow. "Because last time I check, you disowned and I was going to hell! So I'm asking why are you here now after ten years of acting like I didn't exist?"

"It wasn't their fault Calliope. I didn't let them contact you, I was angry and I threatened them that I would cut them off too if they ever tried to get in touch with you again." Carlos said trying to take the blame. Callie winced hearing her parents use her full name after so long. It sounded so weird.

"I might be your fault but they are also to blame. Why didn't they even try to fight you? If all three of us worked together we could have made you understand quicker." Callie said shaking her head.

"I'm so sorry Calliope." Lucia said tears streaming down her face.

"Yeah me too..." Callie said defeated "I need some time alone, can you leave please."

They all nodded and took turn kissing Callie's forehead before leaving the room with their head hanging low.

Later that day Callie was resting with Arizona next to her. Carlos was coming back from buying coffees for Arizona and himself when he sees Erica trying to enter Callie's room. He had stayed behind while the other went back to the hotel in case Arizona or Callie would need him.

He runs to stop her turning the doorknob grabbing her by the arm.

"What do you think you're doing?" He hissed at her.

She turned around and smirk at him.

"I'm here to see my wife!"

"I thought I made it clear that you needed to disappear before I took matter in my own hands!"

"You're do not scare me, I won't go without a fight and I want to see my daughter! You can't keep her away!"

"Actually I can!" said a calm voice behind them.

Arizona was standing by the door with her arms crossed over her chest. She was sitting in the chair in Callie room watching the brunette sleep when she heard commotion coming from outside.

"Who are you to say that? You are nothing; you're just a parasite keeping me away from my wife and my daughter!" Erica growled looking at Arizona with disgust.

"Callie is not your wife! Don't you get it? She doesn't love you; she never wanted to marry you! You forced her for god sakes! I won't let you anywhere near the Mother of my children or Sofia who is a hundred time more my child that she will ever be yours! So sign the fucking papers and disappear from our lives!"

Erica looked at her wide eyed while Carlos looked like a proud papa.

"If you don't sign the papers in the next 24 hours you'll be hearing from me Miss. Hahn" Carlos said threateningly.

"This is not over" Erica said in defeat before she left. She knew that it was useless to stay longer, she needed to come back with a plan that will shut everyone up.

Arizona sighed and Carlos patted her on the back. "You did good" he said with a smile handing her her coffee. "I'll leave you with Calliope, I'll go check on the girls at home"

Arizona entered the hospital room where Callie was sitting on her bed looking at her concerned.

"Arizona what happened?"

"Nothing" Arizona said shortly.

"Come on Arizona, talk to me. Don't do that."

"Don't do what?" She said avoided Callie's gaze.

"Don't shut me out. You've been off all day, not just now. I know there's something bothering you. So please tell me what's wrong." Callie pleaded with Arizona.

She noticed how she's been pensive all day and was waiting for Arizona to come to her but she couldn't wait anymore. Arizona got closer and sat at the edge of Callie's bed still looking down. Callie took her hand and lifted her head by the chin, pleading with her to talk with her eyes.

Arizona swallowed hard, it was now or never, there was no turning back now. Taking a deep breath, she looked in Callie's big brown eyes and said...

"I need to talk to you about the papers I found."

A/N: I know I'm horrible always making cliffhangers!

I started writing chapter 17, I hope I'll be able to update sooner than this time.

Don't forget to send me some love ;) (reviews).
