A/N: I had not anticipated all the feels that where going to come along with this fanfiction. I do have an idea of where I want to take this now and I think I am going the way I had always anticipated with some bumps along the way. As I said in the first chapter this is all about the ride and making it a good one even if it does not end up with the end game you want. I get if not knowing turns you off this story but it is my hope you take the journey with me regardless. I will try not to go all Shonda Rhimes on you and ruin your lives
Callie pulls the sheet off the person next to her and her relief is so immediate she really doesn't worry much about the rest.
"What the hell am I doing in your room?" Callie whispers to herself. Jason groans and rolls towards Callie.
"I am...not entirely sure." Jason slowly sits up and looks around.
"If I didn't know any better I would be a little worried." Callie says looking at a shirtless Jason.
"Mmmhmm I hear that." Jason agrees. Callie looks around the room and sees a snoring lump on the sofa bed.
"I am pretty sure that is Jessie passed out on the sofa over there." Callie nods towards the sprawled out form. Jason nearly bounces out of the bed as soon as he sees the younger man and skips towards him. With more coordination than he should have Jason jumps on to the sofa and begins to jump up and down. Apparently the opportunity to annoy your soon to be brother in law lightens the impact of a hangover. Callie hears a pitiful groan.
"Go away Jas you are such an ass." Jesse clamps his hands over his head in an attempt to keep his headache from increasing. Jason stops bouncing and gasps in shock.
"Is that anyway to talk to your big brother?" Before Jesse can answer Jason lands a top Jesse. Callie attempts to hold in a laugh when Jesse lets out a loud ompf.
"You aren't my brother officially until later."
"And you can't wait!" Jason ruffles Jesse's hair amid much protest. Callie takes the chance to be the first one in the shower but is stopped by a note next to the phone. It is a note in familiar handwriting to call the number when everyone was awake and coherent. She can hear Jesse and Jason discuss getting food and quickly makes her way to the bathroom. She brushes her teeth with a spare toothbrush and washes her face and gets a brush through her hair it makes her feel a little better. It does not take her long at all but by the time she exits the bathroom Jesse is pulling off the tops to plates of food from room service. Jesse makes his way to the bathroom and gives Callie a goofy smile around a piece of toast in his mouth.
"Hey Callie come and get some grub." Jason is on the couch in the sweatpants he wore to sleep and catching grapes he is throwing into the air with his mouth." Callie decides to declines as she looks for her shoes.
"Thanks Jason but I should really be going. You have a big day today with getting married and all." Jason looks up quickly and the grape he was attempting to catch hits him in the head.
"What do you mean? You aren't coming?" Callie if caught off guard by this.
"Well...I...I mean I never expected to be invited you guys just meet me and..." Jason quickly waves off the rest of her rambling.
"Consider this your official invitation. Now come get some food girl." he goes back to catching grapes and Callie sits down to decide on something to eat from the mass amount of food the two men have ordered.
"Besides it will give you some more time to speak with Erica." Jason manages between grapes. Callie nearly chokes on her orange juice. Jason takes the opportunity to explain as Callie attempts to keep orange juice from coming out of her nose."
"I saw how you looked at her like you didn't know whether to run, hug, or slap her. She told us about you. I've known who you were since you saw Erica across the room last night. I am sure Erica has informed Angel as to whom you are and Jesse, well he will find out soon enough. Callie tries not to panic so she pretends to look over the breakfast selection. She finally settles on a piece of bacon and toast. Callie leans back on the couch and nibbles half-halfheartedly at the buttery bread.
"So Erica mentioned me. What did she… what did she say?" Jason throws his last grape in the air before he looks at Callie with a little bit of a smirk on his face.
"That is something that you are going to have to get out her my dear." He pats Callie's thigh and then makes his way to the bathroom and begins to yell at Jesse for taking longer than a woman. Callie finishes her toast and bacon and the rest of her orange juice. She is putting on her shoes when Jesse is pushed out of the bathroom towel around his waist. Jesse turns to say something in the direction of the bathroom but is quickly stopped when another towel comes flying out of the bathroom and hits Jesse in the face. The bathroom shuts with a click shortly after.
"Brute" Jesse grumbles as he pulls the towel from around his head. He puts the towel around his shoulders and starts to pick at the breakfast spread. "You headed to your room?" Jesse asks through a mouth full of muffin.
"Yes" Callie replies and finishes tying her shoe. "I will be back at seven though for the reception." Jesse nods while looking at his phone and shows it to Callie. On the screen Callie reads a text from Angel instructing Jesse to tell Callie she better be at the reception. Callie smiles wide.
"Tell him not to worry I will be there."
"Want me to walk you to your room? It will only take a few minutes for me to thrown on some clothes."
"Yeah that would be great. I still have to find my purse." Jesse watches Callie as she looks around the room and suddenly snaps his fingers.
"The mini fridge!" Callie looks at him with confusion.
"I remember us rummaging through there last night looking for something to eat after we got back." Jesse says pulling a shirt over his head. Callie makes her way to the mini fridge and sure enough sitting at the bottom is her purse. Everything seems to be there and her phone other than being dead and a little cold seems to be okay. When Callie looks up she finds Jesse ready to go. He offers his hand and helps her to stand. Once Callie is standing he offers his arm.
"My lady" Jesse says with a large grin. Callie rolls her eyes but smiles and takes his arm. Jesse and Callie are still arm and arm sharing what they remember about last night when they come up to Callie's room. Callie's laughter quickly dies when she sees a head of very familiar blonde hair.
"Arizona" The blonde's head whips around and relief washes over her face until she sees Jesse. Fear and jealousy cross over Arizona's face in a matter of seconds before she can get a hold of her emotions.
"I have been looking for you everywhere. You didn't answer when I called."
"Is it Sofia?" Callie asks thinking the worse almost immediately.
"No, no Sofia is fine. She is at the park with Cristina, Meredith and Zola. Callie sighs with relief.
"Okay than whatever it is can wait. I have a wedding to get ready for." Callie turns to Jesse before Arizona can reply.
"Thanks for walking me back I had fun last night and I will see you at seven." Callie gives Jesse credit. Although she can see a little uncertainty he plays the part she wants him to perfectly. He swoops in and wraps her up in a hug.
"See you later than gorgeous.' He walks away and Callie wonders if he can feel the hole that Arizona is starting into him.
"Callie what..." Callie holds up her hand and shakes her head. Callie knows what she just did was to make Arizona feel how she felt when she found out the blonde had cheated. Callie never said it was right.
"I am sorry you were worried but I am not having this conversation with you. How you even found me is beyond me but if you ever loved me you will not question me right now and you will leave me alone for the next couple of days." Arizona looks down at the ground and Callie hears her sniff and even though it breaks her heart the brunette holds her ground. Arizona looks up with un shed tears in her eyes.
"Can we at least talk at some point?" Callie's resolve breaks a little and she reaches out to tuck a strand of hair behind Arizona's ear. Arizona leans into the touch tears finally falling and landing on Callie's hand.
"Of course we can but not right now. I just need some time." Arizona nods her head and kisses Callie's palm before pulling away.
"I can do that." Arizona reaches out to touch Callie but thinks better of it and drops her hand. The look on her face looks like one of actual pain and Callie reacts before she realizes what she is doing. She grabs Arizona's hand and moves it to her face nuzzling into the other woman's hand. The gesture makes silent tears come faster down Arizona's face. After a minute Callie moves away from her touch and regains her voice.
"I'll call you." Arizona nods still unable to speak and Callie opens the door to her room. Arizona clears her throat and looks at Callie,
"It has never been IF I love you Calliope. It is a certainty but I made a mistake and I will do whatever it takes to make you happy again..." Arizona takes a shaky breathe "…including letting you go." With that Arizona turns and races down the hall leaving Callie slumped against the doorway and in tears. She isn't sure what will happen next all she knows is she has been here before and she is not entirely sure if they can recover this time.
A/N:I want to let you guys know that I will not bash any beloved Grey's Anatomy character, Arizona included. It is not my style so do not fret my dears.
