A/N:

I am terribly sorry for not updating sooner. I just realize that it had been two months since my last update. I promise I'll try to update the next one sooner. I know I always say that but this time it's true!

I also forgot to answer to some questions about Arizona's little friend in the last chapter. I was in a hurry to post the chapter that it completely slipped my mind so I'm answering them now. Arizona didn't have a penis is the previous chapter because as it was explained at the end of chapter 3, she has a penis one a month for a week instead of her period. It is a hormonal reaction that my crazy imagination created. I invite you to read chapter 3 again.

I got a review from brunettepsycho saying that asked for reviews but I didn't read them. To clarify things up, I want to say that I actually do read every single reviews and that I appreciated and thank you for the interest that you all have for this story, it really means a lot.

Finally, thanks to pounkcakereal20 and bekki222 for helping me with this story.

Enjoy the chapter

chapter 21:

She was scared like she never had before. Scared for her life. Scared that it would end now. Now when she was just starting to live and when her life started to have a meaning, a purpose. That's why she found herself running. Running like there was no tomorrow. She never liked running, she was to lazy for that.

Now everything could end because of one mistake. How could she be so careless?

She kept running, she knew how she must look... with her hair falling in her face and getting stuck there because of sweating. Her face red like a tomato and out of breath. She kept pushing herself forward and the people in her way until she saw the doors that were either gonna be her salvation or the complete opposite.

"WILSON!" She heard her name being yelled as soon as she put a foot inside the OR. "Give those damn results to a nurse and come help me!"

The intern quickly gave the results to the nearest nurse and scrubbed in.

"Where do you need me Dr Robbins?" she asked still scared as shit at what the doctor would do to her is she screws up something again.

"Hold this and don't move!" Arizona said giving her retractors.

"I'm really sorry Dr Robbins, I gave the samples to another intern and he didn't' gave them to the lab for analysis. It's my fault I should've known-"

"Shut up! I don't care about your apologies right now. All I care about in this moment is saving this little boys life, that wouldn't be in danger if you just had done what I said and to do. I need concentrate so you need to shut up and let me do my job! Understood?" Arizona said throwing death glares to the shaking intern who could only nod afraid of saying something that might upset the blonde doctor even more.

However, a few minutes later, the intern was still shaking making the retractors she was holding move.

"Edwards!" Arizona called to the other intern looking at them from the Gallery.

"Yes Dr Robbins?" the intern sais standing up straight.

"Scrub in and come take Wilson's place." She said making the intern in question looking at her confused. "Surgeon don't have shaky hands." She said matter of factly. "You can go, I don't need you anymore." She said motioning for a nurse to hold the retractors while the other intern scrubbed in. She went back to her surgery no bothering to cast another glance to the intern. If she had she would've seen the tears swelling in said intern eyes.

"Will you stop pacing for god sakes?" Addison says to a very impatient Callie.

"It's been an hour since they where supposed to be here! I will stop pacing once your girlfriend and Bailey are here!" Callie said still pacing in her hospital room.

It was the mid afternoon and Callie had been waiting rather impatiently for the doctors to discharge her.

Addison sighs and looked at Arizona for help. Arizona just shrugs and goes back to the medical journal she was reading. Not liking being ignored, Addison walk toward the blonde and rips the journal from her hands. Now the blonde throws Addison a death glare and stands up, walking toward her girlfriend.

"Calliope? Baby, why don't you come sit down for a while." Arizona said taking Callie's hand in hers and walking her toward the bed.

"I don't wan to sit down! I want to go home. I'm tired of this place! I've been here forever!" Callie said throwing herself on the bed and crossing her arms.

Addison rolled her eyes at her friend childish antics. Arizona kissed Callie on the forehead and went the Addison taking her medical journal back and shrugging once again and took her place back.

"Ok… what if while we're waiting, we talk about…" Addison trailed off trying to find an interesting topic for Callie to stop counting the minutes.

"About?" Callie said prompting her.

"Ooh! About the fact that this morning your girlfriend over there made an intern cry and that all the interns and residents are afraid of her!" Addison said proud of herself when she saw Callie look at Arizona jaw slacked and the blond snap her head up and looking at them in shock.

"You wha-"

"She was careless and made a stupid mistake that could have been avoided if she had done what I told her to do. But no, the intern had to be lazy and charged someone else to do it for her. Because of her laziness and stupidity, I almost lost a patient whose case wasn't even critical in the first place. Now a little boy whose barely five is in the PICU between life and death!" Arizona said standing up. She was tired and she didn't want to blew up like that, it wasn't her, she wasn't usually this mean and scary but she knew exactly why. So to avoid another melt down she decided to leave... changing her mind a little. Maybe seeing Sofia will calm her down a little.

"I'm going to get Sofia" She threw over her shoulder before leaving the room.

Callie was watching the blonde leave, shaking her head. She had an idea of what was happening to the blonde. Arizona had warned her of all the different moods she could be in once it happened. But damn it wasn't that bad the first time it happened. Instead of being this angry and scary she was the complete opposite, sweet, horny and a little insecure.

"Damn! What's gotten into her pants?" Addison asked dumbfounded. She had never seen Arizona this mad. The only time she was like that it was when Callie had been shot and didn't want to wake up.

"A dick…" Callie said not loud enough for her friend to hear her.

"Anyway…" The redhead said trying to change the subject. "I'm mad at you." Addison said pointing her finger at Callie.

"Me? Why?"

"Well… maybe because you forgot to mention that the crazy bitch finally signed the divorce papers to me, your awesome best friend who helped you get through everything. Don't get me started on how much Mark and Teddy are pissed. They were so shocked that Teddy kept saying over and over 'She signed the papers?' and Mark didn't say a word! Mark! The guy who gossips more than all high school girls reunited!" Callie was looking at her friend guiltily. With everything that happened, she completely forgot to tell them.

"I'm sorry! I meant to tell you but it completely slipped my mind and honestly it seems so unreal that sometime I forget that I'm finally free of Erica's hold. There's so many things that I forgot to tell you and they all happened a while ago."

"Ok one thing at a time. First I want to know what happened for Hann to finally sign those papers! It's been years!" Addison said getting comfortable, ready to catch things up with Callie.

"Well, I didn't do anything. One day Arizona came with Sofia and found the papers on the floor, signed."

"And that's it?" Addison asked and Callie just nodded. "that's weird."

"Right! That's not Erica's type to just change her mind or give up.." Callie said trying to think of all the reasons why Erica could have signed the papers without fighting some more with her or Arizona. Maybe her father had, again, did something to do with it. Or Erica came to her senses and realized that it would be useless to keep fighting for something she already lost. Or it might be something completely different, who knows what she was thinking and what her state of mind was at the time she signed the papers. Only she knows the reason why.

"Or just being nice" Addison added. "Anyway, you're now finally a free woman! Wohoo!" Addison said after a while when she saw Callie was lost in her thoughts. Callie looked at her and gave her a small smile. "But what was the other thing you wanted to tell me about?" Addison asked suddenly remembering what her friend told her minutes ago.

Callie looked at her anxiously, not knowing how to say it to her friend. It wasn't bad news, it was the complete opposite in fact but she didn't know how her friend would take the news and if she would be mad or not that she didn't tell her sooner. She did get upset when she didn't tell her about Erica, anything is possible at this point.

"What? It can't be that bad!" T he redhead said when she saw how her friend was looking at her nervously. "Right?" she prompted when she didn't get any reaction from her friend.

"Oh! Uh… yeah, yeah, it's nothing bad. It's actually good, very good."

"Well then tell me! What are you waiting for? I'm dying here." Addison said exasperated by her friend.

Callie thought that if she was going to tell her friend she better just throws it out there, no need for her to turn around the bush. "Arizona is Sofia's mother." She said in one breath. There. Ripping off the band aid.

"Uh…oookay…I mean, duh! I already knew that." Addison didn't understand what all the fuss was about. Everybody knew that Arizona was Sofia's mother. You must be blind not to see the bond the too shared.

"Not like that." Callie said shaking her head. "I mean Arizona is the sperm donor, she is Sofia's biological mother."

"Oh… ho- oh! With her…oh!" Addison was at a loss for word. She was slowly putting two and two together. She fell stupid for not figuring it out sooner. The little girl was the perfect mix of Callie and Arizona. "Oh.. wow… I don't know what to say. I mean that's awesome!" Addison said with a big smile. She was really happy for her friend and her goddaughter. "What a small world!" she added still a little dumbfounded by the news.

"I need to ask you a favor" Callie said hesitantly.

"Shoot." Callie told her what she needed from her friend who immediately told her that she would do it. "That's why you were on edge all this time, it wasn't just the hormone." Callie could only look at her friend guiltily.

Suddenly, Addison stood up and engulfed her friend in a tight embrace taking Callie by surprise. "I'm so happy for you." Addison said sincerely "You deserve everything and more."

"Thanks Addi, it means a lot." At this point both woman had tears in their eyes overwhelmed.

"Who's ready to go home?" Teddy cheerfully interrupted the emotional moment between the two woman.

"Finally!" Callie exclaimed with a big smile drying her tears and quickly standing up.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the hospital and on another level, Arizona was sitting on one of the bean bag listening to a little Sofia rambling on about her day, how she had a new friend and making a list of all the person she wanted at her birthday party which was practically all the day care.

"Hey baby girl, are you exited mama's coming home today?" Arizona said stopping her daughter's rambling with a big smile on her face.

Sofia gave her mother the biggest smile she has ever seen before nodding enthusiastically and jumping in Arizona's arms. "Alright lets go see her then." Arizona said before nodding to one of the day care worker signaling her that she was leaving and walked out of the day care with Sofia in her arms. Sofia's hands happily playing with blonde locks and the other tightly holding her stuffed monkey.

Arizona was too focused on Sofia, talking with the little girl and happy that she wasn't in a crappy mood anymore that she didn't realize someone watching them with hatred.

It wasn't the first time that those cold blue eyes had found themselves staring at the happy family. It happened quite a few times actually during this last week. The first time wasn't on purpose, quite the opposite. The person had been trying to avoid them at all cost but they found themselves locked in the supply closet with the couple not far from them and had to here them being all lovey dovey, it was sickening.

However, that day something snapped in the person's mind and they decided that they'll do anything to break the happy little family. They needed to pop the bubble but to be able to do so, they needed a plan and a good one. That's why they recently found themselves watching them, hoping to find something that would allow them t break them and to bring some sort of happiness to this person and even if they didn't find happiness, at least they wouldn't be happy anymore.

Watching Arizona and Sofia leaving the day care together and seeing how the blonde cared for the little girl suddenly brought an evil smirk to the person who was watching them. They finally had a plan and they finally found a way to break them once and for all…

Arizona came in to the room rolling a wheelchair with Sofia sitting on it. The second she stepped inside the room she knew she would have to fight Callie to make her use the wheel chair. Her suspicions were correct when she saw the look of disgust on Callie's face when she saw the wheel chair. However, this look didn't last long on the brunette face when she saw who was sitting on the chair.

Sofia jump out of the wheel chair and ran toward where Callie and the others were. Yet she didn't run in the arms of the person we thought she would. In fact, she ran in the arms of one Dr Bailey who was as shocked. But then it was clear what the little girl's motives were when she started rambling about how her birthday was in two days. She used her little fingers to show her how old she will be, but her smile faded when she asked Bailey if Tuck would come to her birthday party and didn't get the answer she wanted. She looked at the doctor with her big blue eyes and popped her bottom lip making the cutest pouting face they have ever seen.

"But… Sofia birthday!" She said with her lip trembling and pointing to herself. "Me two!" She showed her her two fingers again. She looked at Arizona to get confirmation "Mommy me two?"

"That's right baby girl" Arizona said popping her dimples. Sofia left Bailey and went to get comfort from Callie.

"Sofia, sweetie, Tuck can't come because he's going to be with his father, but guess what?" Callie said enthusiastically trying to cheer her daughter and when she got the little girl attention she continued "Zozo and TomTom will be there!" The brunette said making Sofia jump in her arms and getting a giggle out of her.

"So… are we good to go?" Arizona asked impatient to finally bring her girlfriend home and to finally have some privacy.

"Oh, yes! She got the all clear but she still needs to rest as much as possible, avoid lifting heavy things and tiring yourself." Bailey said.

"That's it?" Callie questioned. She good do with that as long as she wasn't forced to stay in bed rest, anything was good.

"And no sex!" Teddy exclaimed throwing a knowing look to Arizona and Callie. She received a glare from her best friend and Callie looked at her eyes wide and her hands covering her daughter's ears.

"Innocent ears in the room!" Arizona said swatting Teddy's arm and pointing to the little girl who had rested her head on Callie shoulder.

"Ouch! Sorry I forgot."

Callie walked to the door with a dozing Sofia in her arms when Arizona's voice stopped her.

"Where do you think you're going? Sit in the wheelchair." She said wheeling the wheelchair next to the brunette.

"I'm fine with walking-" Callie tried to argue but Arizona sent her a look that meant she had no chance of winning this.

"Will you sit in the damn chair so you can go and we can go back to our business, you know it's hospital policy." Bailey said.

Callie groaned and resigned herself to the fact that she lost. She sat down and she was wheeled out of the room by a very happy Arizona who had a triumphant smile on her face.

"Lets go home baby." Arizona bending over and kissing Callie on the temple.

When they finally got to Callie's apartment, Arizona was holding a sleeping Sofia. She immediately went for Sofia's bedroom to put her to bed. When she emerged from the little girl's bedroom, Arizona found Callie at the same spot she left her when she went in Sofia's bedroom. Callie was frozen at the door of the apartment a far away look on her face.

Arizona slowly approached the woman lost in her thought until she was standing a breath away in front of her.

"Calliope..." Arizona softly said, trying not to scare the woman before her. Even if her voice was the softest she could muster it didn't stop the brunette to lightly jump at the sudden contact of Arizona's hands on Callie's.

"The last time I passed this door I had just threw up my guts out and was exited for our dinner date." Callie said not looking at Arizona. The blonde lifted her hand to Callie's face and made her look at her.

"After the shooting…" Arizona started, she swallowed the lump that was starting to form in her throat before continuing. "I was afraid of coming here without you. I didn't want to believe that there was a chance that you could not make it and come back to me and coming here, where there is all of your stuff, your cloths, shampoo, pictures of you, without you would've a made it too real and I was just not ready for it to be real. I wasn't ready to lose you when I had just found you, but then everybody was pushing me to come home to get some proper rest and Sofia needed. So the only night I finally found the strength to pass this door." she pointed to the closed door behind Callie. "Addison called me and told me you were awake. You came back to me when I was on the verge of loosing hope and I could not be more grateful to have you here with me." She started stroking the brunette's cheek. "The thing is, you didn't come back to me alone, you came back with two babies growing inside of you and I'm sure they be as beautiful as their Mama." Arizona said with a smile popping her dimples and bringing her other hand on Callie's little baby bump. "I don't want you to think of that day... it's in the past now and you here well and alive and he's going to pay for what he put us threw. I just want you to think about our future and how it's gonna be amazing with our beautiful children, ok?" When Arizona finished her speech, Callie had tears in her eyes.

She didn't know what to saw to the woman who made her feel like anything was possible. So she nodded before saying "I love you." She never meant those three words as much as she meant them at this moment.

Arizona barely had the time to reciprocate the words that Callie was crashing their lips in the most passionate kiss they had ever shared until this point. When their lips met, it was like they both were shocked by lightning. Callie was pouring all the things she felt at this moment and didn't find the right words to express them. Arizona was kissing her back with as much passion and love.

It was at this moment that Callie knew.

This was forever.

Arizona was coming out of the bathroom after getting herself ready for bed. She saw Callie waiting for her under the covers. She walked to the bed and slipped under the covers next to Callie who immediately snuggled closer.

She was finally going to share a bed with the brunette after all this time. To say she was exited was an understatement. She felt like a little kid on Christmas who couldn't wait to open his gift. The only thing that was stopping her from jumping up and down everywhere was the nervousness she felt at the pit of her stomach. She didn't how she was going to control herself for a whole week with Callie sleeping this close to her. With only simple touch from Callie she had her whole body tingling and hot.

Gasping, Arizona was brought out of her thoughts when she felt a hand grabbing her crotch.

"Cal…What-"

"I knew there was a reason for your mood swing." Callie said stroking Arizona, happy to find that her guesses were right.

"Babe… you can't, we can't do this" Arizona moaned trying to take Callie's hand away from between her legs.

"I can't but you can." Callie said seductively in Arizona's ear. "I can help you if you want"

Arizona groaned, this was so not fair! Why did she have to be the responsible one?

She took Callie's hand and held it firmly on her chest just above her head.

"I don't want too." Arizona started but she then she rectified when she saw Callie's hurt and confused look. "I mean, I want it! God I want it so much but not like that. I want to be able to make love to you, I don't want a quickly, getting me off. I want us to take our time and worship and love your body like you deserve to because I love you."

"Ok" Callie simply said kissing Arizona on her lips and turning to turn off her bed side lamp.

"That's it?" Arizona asked mimicking Callie's movement.

"Yep, now hold me." She demanded turning on her side and gripping Arizona's arm while doing so, so the blonde's arm was draped over Callie's abdomen and Arizona was spooning her.

"Oh, and I love you too." Callie said drifting off to sleep.

Arizona smiled and kissed Callie's head. She soon joined her in dreamland finally where she should be and feeling complete.
