Chapter 18:

A week has passed since Arizona and Callie had their talk about the papers and they haven't talked about it since.

Arizona was avoiding it and acting as if nothing happened and it was getting Callie frustrated with her behavior. She wanted the blonde to open up and talk to her about everything. Chances are, she will bottle up everything and then explode like a bomb and then be her closed off self.

On another hand, Arizona wanted to talk to Callie about something since she told her that she was Sofia's sperm donor and that she considered Sofia her daughter, but she was afraid of broaching the subject and was afraid of Callie's reaction. She wanted to wait until everything calmed downs a little before talking about it to Callie. In the mean time she did what she does best, she hide behind her happy and perky façade and avoided all serious talk with Callie afraid that she would blurt something that she wasn't supposed to say too soon.

Tomorrow Callie will be having her three months ultrasound to check that everything is clear and that she can start her physical therapy. She didn't know if Arizona would be here or even if she wanted to be a part of this. She didn't know how Arizona felt about all this. She knew that Arizona wouldn't leave her or anything like that because of how she reacted about Sofia... But she still couldn't help but feel that something wasn't right. She just hope that her baby is fine and her relationship with Arizona as well. Maybe it was to much for the blonde and she was afraid that after all this she would leave even if she told her that she wouldn't.

A few days ago, Callie and Arizona's families went back to their respective home saying that they had business to get back to but in reality, they just wanted to give the girls some space to sort their situation out.

Callie haven't talked to her parents since the day she dismissed them. She had trouble forgiving them. She wanted to but she didn't know how to. To be honest it wasn't the most important thing on her mind right now. She was more preoccupied about her situation with Arizona.
However she started talking to Aria. She understands that it wasn't her little sister fault, she was young and couldn't stand up for herself at that time. Her parents left with Arizona promising them to call regularly with update on how Callie was doing and to try make her call them. Arizona's parents also left, however there departure was more tension filled. They still thought that Arizona was making a mistake but who were they to judge? They supported her with reluctance not wanting their daughter to distance herself from them.

Callie was flipping through the channels, bored out of her mind. She groaned and threw the remote on the bed when she didn't find anything worth watching. Why does everything on the hospital channels sucked and why didn't they have cable? It was when she threw the remote that Arizona came in the room sporting the biggest smile ever. She was holding two bag of what she to be take-out food and judging by the smell it was indeed take-out food. She pushed the table toward Callie so it would be above her feet. She was now in a regular room, she left the ICU a few days later after she wake up seeing that she was getting better every day. She was glad to have more intimacy and because the hospital staff tried numerous times peeping every time they thought she wouldn't see them. She couldn't bare being the hospital main attraction.

"Hi! I brought lunch!" Arizona said in an extremely perky voice shaking the bag. She put it on the table and pecked Callie on the forehead.
Callie was looking at her with a frown, the blonde behavior is too suspicious for her liking. She didn't have the time to question, with Mark, Addison and Teddy walking in the room. She loved her friends but she knew that sometimes they could be very noisy and didn't want to deal with their prying questions anytime soon.

"Ooh fries!" Mark said excitedly, trying to grab fries from the table but it was slapped away by Arizona who gave him a stern look. "No touching. Sit." Mark looked at her like a kicked puppy stroking his hand. He took the chair nearby and sat. Addison and Teddy followed suit. Arizona shared the food between all of them. They ate and talked to Callie asking her how she was feeling.

During their lunch Callie kept glancing at Arizona from time to time and saw that her smile was still plastered on her face, but it wasn't quite reaching her eyes. She also noticed that she talked to everyone except Teddy. What was that about?
When they finished eating, they all left their separate way after saying goodbye to Callie. Only Addison stayed behind to talk with the brunette.
"Bye baby, I'll come see you as soon as I can." Arizona said kissing Callie on the way out the door . Callie just smiled a big smile and nodded. The smile left her face as quickly as it came as soon as Arizona left the room.

Addison looked at Callie curiously.
"What's with the fake smile?" The redhead asked. Getting only a shrug as a response from Callie, she went to sit at the edge of the bed looking at her with a lifted eyebrow signaling that she was waiting for a proper answer from Callie.
Seeing that Addison wasn't budging, Callie exhaled a deep breath and said "I don't know..." She shook her head trying to clear her thoughts to try and find the words to talk to explain to Addison. But she found none so she stayed quiet.

Seeing the inner battle on her friend face, Addison divide to change the subject. She knew when the brunette was ready she would talk to her.
"Soooo..." she said prolonging the 'o' and getting Callie's attention. The brunette looked at her waiting for her to continue."Are you exited for tomorrow?"

Callie sent her a puzzled look not knowing what she was referring to.

"Seriously? How can you forget? Your ultrasound? Does it ring any bell to you?"
"Oh… Right." Callie said flatly.
"Callie are you ok?" Addison tried again, her friend's behavior wasn't normal at all. Callie love babies, she was more excited when a nurse was expecting than now. "Why aren't you jumping around like you did when you were expecting Sofia? What's bothering you?" She prompted hoping to get something out of the brunette. But nothing. "You know you can tell me anything, what's wrong?"
"Everything is fine. Don't you have babies to save?" Callie said exasperated. She didn't want to talk with Addison about Arizona, she wanted to talk with Arizona about them. But hey, we don't always get what we want right?

However, Addison didn't seem to want to leave and had a determined look on her face. Callie really didn't want to talk but maybe another point of view on things can help her and eventually quell her doubts and fears.
"I think Arizona wants out." She finally said under her breath.
"You what?" Addison asked, she was shocked that at what Callie confessed. She really thought Callie would have to force her to spill everything but no, here she was talking without any forces involved.
"I think Arizona wants to break up with me but she doesn't know how because of the baby and Sofia and the fact that I'm in a hospital and, and, and-" Callie stopped her rambling when she heard Addison laugh out loud. "Addison! What the hell are you laughing at? I'm being serious!"
"I'm sorry but do you hear yourself right now?" She stopped trying to catch her breath. "We are talking about Arizona here, that woman is crazy about you! When everyone was giving up, she was sure that you'll eventually wake up. When your heart stopped in the OR, Teddy was about to call it but Arizona barged in and restarted it-"

"Is that why they don't talk to each other?" Callie cut her off. She only received a nod from Addison.

"And about Sofia, she's spoiling that little girl. While you were in the coma she didn't let Sofia leave her sight. If you're still not convinced, she told everyone in the hospital that the baby you're expecting is hers too. She told her secret to the whole hospital, a secret that forced her to leave Baltimore to come all the way to Seattle when the staff at Hopkins found out." Addison finished her speech and let Callie process everything that she said.
"I'm such an ass"

"You think?" Addison snorted.

Callie ignored her friend and continued "I've been giving her the cold shoulder all week but it doesn't explain why she keep avoiding the subject and hiding behind her big smiles. I don't even know if she's coming tomorrow for the ultrasound." Callie said dejectedly. When she looked up toward Addison a single tear rolled down her cheek which she quickly wiped .

"Oh, Callie…" Addison said taking Callie in her arms "You need to give her some time, it's a lot for her to take in. She didn't think about it when you were in the coma because she was focused on you, but now that your awake and fine everything came crashing down on her. When she had sorted out everything that needs to be sorted she'll talk to you. Don't worry she'll be there tomorrow, how could she not?" She waited until Callie calmed down before asking her "And you, what do you think about all this? Waking up and realizing that your daughter is calling her mommy and that you're pregnant."

Callie sit back straight and wipe her eyes before saying "I admit at first I was a little freaked out. Everything was happening so quickly I didn't have the time to process everything. But this week I had the time to think and I realized that Arizona is the one for me and I'm really happy that Sofia call her Mommy. Every time I hear her call Arizona Mommy, my heart melts and knowing that Arizona loves Sofia as much as I do is amazing even if, again, it's all very fast but when you know you know, right?" Callie finished and looked at Addison who had a big smile on her face.

"When you know, you know…"

Later that day, Arizona was coming out of a long surgery when she decided to go take a quick power nap. She opened the on call room door and quickly slipped inside before closing it. "OH MY GOD! My eyes! I'm blind!" In the on call room, she found Teddy and Addison making out in both of their underwear.

"Get dressed! What are you waiting for? Since when are you speaking the vagina monologue? I thought you were both straight as an arrow. You know what, never mind I'm leaving" Arizona said hurrying for the door. She just wanted to rest a little and think for a while about how to ask Callie what she wanted to ask her.

"Arizona wait!" Teddy said behind her halting her in her steps. When she turned around she saw that they were mostly dressed and Addison step besides her reaching for the door.

"I'm gonna leave you two." She said before exiting the room and closing the door after her.

The two blonde stayed silent, neither knowing what to say. "Ar-"

"I think I'm gonna go, I have a lot of things to do" Arizona said cutting Teddy off.

"Please Arizona, I'm sorry, I just want to talk" Teddy said pleadingly. She needed to do something to fix her relationship with Arizona. She missed her friend terribly and she had so much to tell her.

"I have nothing to say to you" Arizona said coldly.

"Then don't talk and just listen to me" Teddy said waiting for some sort of acknowledgement from Arizona. "Please?" she insisted.

"Fine" Arizona grumbled and crossed her arms defensively across her chest.

Teddy took a deep breath, it was now or never "Look, I'm really sorry Arizona… about everything. I know I messed up and I know I shouldn't have stopped trying to reanimate Callie. I should've tried harder but I didn't and I'm sorry. When I started calling her before you stopped me, I was fully aware of the consequences that me calling the time of death would imply. But someone had to do it so I did it even if I knew you would hate me. But that's what best friend are for, to do the hard things even if that said friend would stop talking to you... But I did it because I knew no one would have been able to do it. But then you barged in the OR and got her back and it felt like a weight was lifted of my shoulder... but when I saw the look you gave me I knew it was too late." Teddy took a break, not daring to look at Arizona in the eyes. " I thought if I give you time, you will eventually forgive me and everything would get back to normal. But it's been a month Arizona and I miss my best friend. I know I can't undo anything but I… I …" teddy sigh not knowing what else to say and sat down on the bed.

"I don't hate you." Arizona said quietly after a while getting Teddy's attention back. It was so quiet that she barely heard it.

"What?"

"I needed to be mad at someone for what was happening and you were the easy target. I wanted to come to you and apologize but you know me, I'm stubborn. I was also ashamed of how I treated you. At first I was mad at you of course but then I realized that you were only doing your job and you couldn't have known." Arizona was knocked out of her feet when a crying teddy leapt at her and held her tight. "come on Teds, you're going soft." Arizona teased hugging her friend back.

"You have no idea how hard it was for me, not talking to you! So shut up!" Teddy said laughing and crying at the same time.

"Yeah… I know, I'm sorry Teds for being a jerk." Arizona said when Teddy released her. "Now tell me about you and Addison!" Arizona said clapping her hands and jumping up and down with excitement. "Since when are you two bumping uglies?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows making Teddy groan.

The next day, it was time for Callie's ultrasound, and while Addison reassured her about Arizona the day before, it didn't stop her from worrying. Which made her think the worst when Addison came and Arizona still wasn't here. Callie seen Arizona briefly yesterday evening when she came with Sofia to kiss her goodnight. They didn't have time to talk and now Callie was wishing that they did.

"Where's blondie?" Addison asked setting up the ultrasound machine.

"I have no idea, I haven't seen her since yesterday." Callie said in a small voice.

"I am sure she won't be long. You want to wait for her?"

"No she won't, just get it over with." Callie said exposing her abdomen, she was frustrated and getting angry at herself for being so hopeful.

Addison didn't say a word and just took the gel out. "It's going to be a little cold..." She said out of habit before applying the gel on Callie baby bump. She was about to perform the ultrasound when someone came rushing in.

"Sorry, sorry I'm late! I had a surgery run late but I'm here now." Arizona said rushing to Callie's side and kissing her sweetly. She was out of breath from having to run from one end of the hospital to the other.

"You came!" Callie stated relief flooding through her.

"Of course I came, why wouldn't I? it's our baby in here" she said kissing Callie hand and giving her a big smile. Callie noticed that it wasn't one of the fake smile she kept giving her all week, this one was genuine.

Addison proceeded to do the ultrasound and when she checked that everything was clear she asked them if they wanted to hear the heartbeat. Of course they say yes. When they heard the heart beat, it made both women shed some tears. Callie knew that everything will be alright for her and Arizona.

"Why is there an echo?" Callie asked when she heard the heartbeat.

"Oh my god!" Was the only thing Arizona said before fainting and falling down…
