Chapter 17:

8 years ago:

A 25 years old Arizona came home after an exhausting shift. She was an intern and she never felt this tired in her entire life.

Her day was horrible, she woke up late and got yelled at by her resident telling her that while she was peacefully sleeping in her bed people were dying. Around noon, her pager went off while she was eating and a few hours later... After all that hard work, her patient -whom she got attached to- died.

To top it all off, at the end of the day she received a text from her girlfriend telling her that she couldn't do it anymore and that she needed someone more present than Arizona whom she barely saw now that she was an intern.

To sum it up her day sucked and Arizona was ready to drink herself to sleep and forget all about this day.

Opening the door of her small apartment she saw her brother sprawled on the couch. The apartment looked like shit. Empty bottles of beer were all over the coffee table, there was a box of cold pizza with a few pieces left.

Settling her keys and her bag she sighed seeing what had become of her little brother. He came from his first tour less than a week ago and he was a wreck. Since he came back he spent his days vegetating on the couch drinking alcohol and watching crap TV.

She nudged him on the foot making him abruptly wake up and he stood up still in his sleepy daze. Realizing that it only was his sister and not one of his superior he relaxed letting his guard down and scolding at Arizona.

"Damn it A you scared the shit out of me! What's your problem?"

"Seriously? Don't you think you're the one with a problem? It has been a week since you've been back and you spent all your time here on this couch drinking my booze. Also you stink, did you even shower this whole week?"

Arizona said getting angry with her brother for not trying, and taking better of his personal hygiene.

He just looked at her and sit back down on the couch. He took the tv remote and started flipping through the channels.

"I refilled your fridge with food and booze today, so you're welcome" Tim said not looking away from the TV.

Arizona just huffed, she went in the kitchen to grab a beer and went back to sit next to her brother. She kicked off her shoes and put her feet on the coffee table.

"So what's gotten into your pants today?" Tim asked after a while.

Arizona swallows her beer and just shook her head. Her brother always knew when something was wrong with her.

"Oh come on Zony bear!" He said nudging her side with his elbow.

She sent him a death glare, the best she could because it was hard for her to stay serious when he looked at her like that.

For the first time since he came back she had a feeling that he wasn't totally lost. That he might be ok after all.

"Amy broke up with me" She said defeated.

"Ouch" came Tim response wincing.

"Through a freakin' text!" Arizona said getting furious. It's not like she was in love with her, they haven't been dated this long but it always hurt when you ended a relationship. But what made her mad was how Amy decided to end it. As if Arizona wasn't good enough or didn't deserve Amy wasting her time explaining her how they wouldn't work, like it was just a formality to get rid of quickly.

"Well it's her loss. You deserve someone so much better than a selfish bitch!" Tim said with so much conviction it made Arizona smile, but then she thought about something and her smile fell.

She looked at Tim with sadness in her blue orbs. "I don't think I'll find someone who'll accept all of me..."

Hearing how little Arizona's voice sounded when she said that made Tim heart break for her. He wanted to help her so much.

"You know what I think?" He asked her. She just shook her head negatively. Tim readjusting so that he was sitting in front of Arizona and looked deeply in her eyes.

"I think that a girl somewhere is being miserable right now because she still hasn't met you and is waiting for you." He said sincerely.

"Yeah, right." Arizona scoffed and looked away from him.

"Hey!" He said getting her attention back. "I'm serious! We all have someone meant for us. You need to keep faith the Arizona."

"Fine, I'll keep the faith if you do the same."

"Arizona, you know I can't." He said dejectedly.

"Why not? I mean dad did it and him and mom are fine."

"It isn't fair for them Arizona. What if I settle down with a nice girl, have children and then something happens to me? I can't do that, ruin someone's life for my own selfish choice." He said shaking his head.

They practically had the same conversation since Tim divided to follow into his father's footsteps.

After that they didn't say anything, just sitting there and watching tv and drinking beer. They weren't really watching, too busy lost in their own thoughts of what the future had in store for them.

It was few hours later and a pack of beer down that they came across a fertility Ad. This Ad picked up Arizona's curiosity.

"We should totes do that!" She slurred at Tim.

"That's crazy Arizona!" He said laughing at her. Opposite to her sister, Tim can hold his drink, whereas Arizona is a complete babbling idiot after 2 glasses of wine.

"'I'm serious Tim! Stop laughing at me! You never thought about it? About leaving some trace that you've existed one day, a proof of your existence? You know I've been thinking about it a lot lately, I know that the chance of me having my family of my own is very unlikely. I won't only leave a piece of me, I'll also be realizing the dream of someone out there that isn't lucky enough. You know what? I'm gonna do it now!" Arizona was rambling and when she finished she suddenly took her phone and started dialing the center's number.

"That's crazy talk Arizona! Stop it, you're not thinking clearly, you are drunk!" Tim tried to reason with her. He took her phone out of her hands.

"Heyyy! Give it back!"

"No! It's late Arizona, they are closed, and no one will answer you. Go to bed and we will talk about it tomorrow when you're sober." He helped her stand up and directed her to her bedroom. "Goodnight Zony." He said with a smirk.

Arizona turned around and threw a pillow at him, but he avoided it and closed the door.

As soon as Tim closed the door Arizona threw herself on her computer. She quickly opened it and went on the fertility center website. Thanks to the add she saw that she could take an appointment through their website. That's exactly what she did before falling asleep with her computer on her abdomen.

The next day, Arizona woke up to a hard pounding in her head and an unstoppable phone ringing.

Realizing that it was her phone, she tried to ignore the pounding in her head and stood up looking for her phone. Groaning when she realized it wasn't in her bedroom she went looking for it in the living room.

She found it on the coffee table and ran to it and answered before it went to voice mail.

"Hello?" She said with her voice still raspy from sleep and alcohol.

"Hi! This is the Baltimore Fertility Center, may I speak with Mr. Timothy Robbins please?"

Arizona frowned upon hearing the woman. Why would a fertility center want to talk to her brother?

She went to her brother's bedroom and saw him sprawled on the bed, dead to the world.

"He's not available right now. Can I ask you what it is about?"

"Absolutely uhm…."

"Arizona Robbins, I'm Tim's sister"

"Well Ms. Robbins, your brother scheduled an appointment with our facility via our website for this morning but he never came. He filled his file through the website so we have all the information we need about him. We just needed him to come this morning to meet with our therapist and if he deemed everything is fine he can give us his deposit."

While the woman was talking Arizona's eyes widened in recognition. She was so screwed. Her brother was going to kill her.

"Excuse me? Are you still on the line?" The woman on the phone brought Arizona back from her thoughts.

"Yes sorry, what did you say?"

"I was asking if it was possible to reschedule for this afternoon?"

"Oh yeah, yeah, sure." Arizona said not really listening lost again in her thoughts.

"Great! So we will be waiting for your brother this afternoon at 4pm. Thanks again for your help and have a nice day!" The woman said overly excited for the kind of conversation they just had.

"Shit." Arizona said quietly. "Shit! Shit! Shit!" She said louder this time while running in her brother's room. "Tim wake u-OW! Fuck! Damn it!" She cursed after hitting her foot against her brother's bed foot. The pain being so strong and unexpected made Arizona fall like a bag of potato on her brother. If Tim wasn't awake from Arizona's yelling he was now.

"Wh-what the… Arizona?" He said groggily pushing his sister away.

Arizona didn't respond she just laid there holding we foot and yelling how much it hurts. When the pain finally subsided, Arizona remembered why she came in her brother's room in the first place.

"Please don't be mad but I think I screwed up!" She said not looking at him.

"You think?" Tim asked unsure of what to expect.

"Remember how yesterday I told you I wanted to donate sperm?"

"Yes, not one of my favorite memories." He said cringing.

"Well, I may have made an appointment on their website for today that I missed but was rescheduled for this afternoon-"

"You what?" Tim asked in disbelief.

"-and I may have said that it was you who was going to donate"

Tim looked at her like she was crazy while she explain to him everything.

When Arizona finished talking, there was an awkward silence between them until Tim broke it by laughing his heart out. He didn't know what else to do or say. This was so messed up.

"Tim I really want to do it!" Arizona said seriously.

"How do you plan on doing this? This is my name and my picture in their files!" Tim said getting frustrated with his sister's behavior.

"Look Tim I know I messed up but if I had put my name they wouldn't have accepted. I mean I'm a girl with a dick for crying out loud!" Arizona said desperately. She didn't know where the sudden urge to do this came from but now that it was here and she couldn't ignore it.

Seeing the desperation and want in Arizona's eyes, Tim reluctantly sighed and agreed to help Arizona.

"Ok, fine" he said and Arizona s face completely lit up and she started jumping on the bed completely forgetting about her headache. However Tim held his hand making Arizona sober a little. "But you owe me for the rest of your life!" Arizona just nodded and jump in her brother's arms.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

At 4 o'clock, they were sitting in the waiting room of the fertility center.

They spent the whole day getting ready for this appointment and thinking about how they were going to proceed.

Tim was going to see the therapist, while Arizona stayed behind waiting for him in the waiting room. When the nurse direct him to the room where he can make his donation, Arizona will be waiting for him in the nearest restroom. They will as subtly as possible switch places and switch back when Arizona is finished, Tim will take the specimen and give it to the nurse.

"Mr. Robbins?" A man with big glasses called.

Tim looked at Arizona and nodded before standing up.

"Let's do this!"

Present time:

Callie was looking at Arizona waiting for her to talk. She knew that they would have to talk about the papers sooner or later but she would rather talk about it later. She cleared her throat prompting Arizona to talk.

Without looking up Arizona said "Did you mean it?"

Callie looked at her confused not knowing where this was going. "Mean what?"

"The papers saying that Sofia is mine if anything happen to you because if you don't that would be plain cruel, I'm her mommy, I took care of her when you were in the Coma, and even before that I was the one waking up at night when she cried, and I'm her mommy, she calls me mommy..." Arizona said her voice cracking.

"Hey, hey, hey," Callie soothe pulling on Arizona's arms making her stand up and sit down next to her on the bed. "Sofia is your baby ok. If I didn't mean it I wouldn't have signed those papers. Hell I'm sure she loves you more than me." She said making Arizona snort. "But that's not really what's bothering you am I right?"

Arizona shook her head and redressed herself. She sit back down in the chair pulling it closer to Callie's bed.

She didn't know how to tell Callie what she was about to tell her. But if Callie really did see Arizona has Sofia's mother this shouldn't be any problems, the complete opposite actually, it would make things so much easier.

"Baby, just tell me." Callie said pushing Arizona a little to open up.

"It's about Sofia's sperm donor…..it's m-"

"Tim, I know." Callie quickly cut Arizona off and deserted her gaze behind Arizona.

"Wha-how?" Arizona was stunned she didn't know what to say.

From all the scenarios she imagine telling Callie, this was absolutely not how she imagine it. She was brought out of her daze when she heard Callie voice.

"I recognized his picture in your place and you really look alike." Callie said matter of factly, still not looking at Arizona. She was ashamed of having kept this for her all this time but she had her reasons.

"No, no, no, no" Arizona quickly repeated. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to scare you away, we were new and we were dealing with so much that I was afraid it would break us. I'm sorry, I know I should have told you sooner." Callie was quick to apologize but Arizona lifted her hand signaling for her to stop talking. But Callie wasn't listening, she just kept rambling.

"It's not Tim" Arizona murmured but Callie didn't heard her. "Tim is not the donor, I am." She said a little bit louder but she still didn't get anything from Callie. "I am the donor!" She yelled snapping Callie from her rambling.

They just stood there watching each other with wide eyes. Callie from the shock of what she just learned and Arizona from how she blurted it.

"I'm Sofia's sperm donor not Tim." Arizona said again but this time more quietly. She didn't dare looking at Callie, she was too afraid of what she was going to see, of how the brunette is going to react to this new information.

"H-how? I don't understand…" Callie said trailing off, not knowing how to end her sentence. It was starting to become too much for her to handle. It was too much too fast. She just woke up from a freaking coma and it looks like she was leaving someone else's life.

Arizona finally looked Callie in the eyes and started telling her everything. When Arizona finished there was another uncomfortable silence between them. Callie didn't know what to say, this day was getting crazier by the second.

But she didn't need to think too much of what to say because a few seconds later Arizona broke the silence and what she said surprised Callie to say the least.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Arizona started hesitantly. "When were you planning to tell me if you even considered telling me? Don't you think that I deserved to know that I was somewhat related to Sofia?" Arizona was getting angrier with every question she asked. She didn't know where thins anger was coming from and why it was coming out now but it was too late now to think about it. She wasn't thinking rationally, all she could see was Callie lifeless and bloody body mixed with the sleepless night she spent with Sofia crying for her momma.

Callie barely had the time to open her mouths that Arizona was firing her with tons of questions. She didn't know where this was coming from, she never saw Arizona this angry especially toward her. "What if you didn't survive what would've happened to Sofia? To me?" Arizona said.

Oh! So that's why she's this angry. The thought of losing Callie making her react this way. And then she saw it, the fear in the blonde's eyes and the faraway look as if she was reliving the last month events. Arizona wasn't angry at Callie, well not entirely.

"Arizona, I need you to calm down sweetie." Callie said reaching for Arizona's hand, however, Arizona suddenly stood up making the chair fall from the impact. She was about to start another rant but Callie beat her to it. "I didn't tell you because we were new and I didn't want to scare you. I was waiting for a good moment to do it. I was planning to tell you the day the shooting happened. I thought it was a good time, you organized a date for us and I wanted to show you the paper after the dinner but life happened and now we're here." Callie finished and saw that Arizona has calmed a little but she could see the fury behind those blue orbs.

"You still should've told me sooner, I wouldn't have ran. I know how it feels when someone close to you runs away and I wouldn't have done that to you. Especially you, I love you too much to do that. Do you know how hard it was for me this last month with Erica saying to everyone that she is your wife and that Sofia is hers? She kept saying that MY baby is hers and that she would get her custody! I was lucky that your parents got to their senses and didn't take her away. She was the only reason that I was holding on." Arizona was letting out all the repressed feeling she had kept for herself in the last month. She didn't know how she could have kept this in this long.

Callie's heart broke when she saw tears now running down Arizona's face. She couldn't imagine how hard it must be to be in Arizona's place. It was the next thing that Arizona said that made Callie's heart broke a little bit more.

"I don't want her to take my baby Calliope, please tell me that you won't let her take our baby!" Arizona said now on full sobbing mode.

Callie took her in her arms, stroking her hair she said. "Shh, she won't take her I promise, she's our baby not hers." She kissed the top of Arizona head while the blonde calmed down and her breathing evened out.

"I promise"

A/N: here you have it, a lot of you had guessed that Sofia was biologically Arizona's.
