Chapter 5

Callie's POV

Almost 3 weeks. That's how long I've been here at the river. Its also how long I've known Arizona, even though it feels like a lifetime. I am loving every minute. Its been… awesome. Awesome? Really, Torres! Laughing, I shake my head at myself. I'm smitten, so smitten it's ridiculous. I can't wipe the smile off my face. These three weeks have passed pretty much like the first day with Arizona. We have had a few intense water battles. I really don't call it a battle, because as soon as I see that black, barely there, bikini get wet, I'm a goner. But if it takes me losing those battles to see her in the wet bikini, I'm taking one for the team every time! We spent time relaxing, laughing, talking, tanning, cuddling on a blanket by the camp fire, kissing. Mmm, the kissing, her soft lips, God they feel and taste so good against my lips.

These three weeks have flew by. It feels just like yesterday Arizona and I talked. She told me she wanted to see where our relationship could go, and I feel the same way. I really think we could be extraordinary together, rather than being ordinary apart. To say I'm nervous is an understatement. I'm scared… terrified even. I've never been with a women, but yet, being with Arizona feels so natural. That's what really terrifies me. I've never felt like this with any of my past boyfriends. Hell, I've not had many, but I thought I was in love once. I now know, I really wasn't. I think I was in love with the idea of being in love. Not that I'm saying I am in love with Arizona, but I feel more strongly for her than I every felt for someone in my life. I think I could easily fall in love with her, I feel I'm already falling in love with her. I just hope she feels the same. And the not knowing… that's terrifying.

Arizona's POV

These three weeks have been some of the best in my life, especially since Tim's passing. I've not felt this happy in a long time, and its all because of Calliope. It just feels right with her, like she's the one, but she's never been with a women before and that scares me. I'm scared she's just talking some vacation in lesbian land or something. I'm scared, she'll realize I'm not enough for her, and just the thought of losing Calliope now, scares the shit out of me, because I'm falling for her. I'm falling fast and I'm falling hard. I mean head over heels, butterflies in my stomach, heart pounding in my chest just thinking of her, even knowing her all of three weeks, kind of way. She's just.. breathtakingly stunning. Just thinking of her I can't wipe this grin off my face. She makes me feel safe. I love being near her, toughing her, kissing her, hugging her. I mean the list could go on and on.

I am enjoying my time here, I mean really enjoying my time here, but I'm also excited to get back in Seattle, start my clinic, see where my relationship with Callie goes . I can't wait to talk to Teddy, and tell her about the sensational Latina that is now in my life, became my life. Wait… did I just say became my life? My wife.. Wait.. Stop it Robbins. Pull yourself together damn-it! She just became your girlfriend… wait… is she my girlfriend? We've not really labeled it, we both said we'd like to see where this goes. So does that mean were girlfriends? God I hope so.

General POV

"You ready?" Callie asks, after pulling out her suture kit, she used on Arizona just about three weeks ago.

"No." The blonde says pulling Callie in for a searing kiss. Pulling back looking into brown eyes. "Now I'm ready." She purrs with a dimpled
smile.

With blushed cheeks, Callie looks shyly at the blonde, grins and says "You know, you really shouldn't kiss me like that if you want me to take these stitches out anytime soon."

"Oh is that so." Arizona asked.

"It's so." Callie stated. Leaning in to kiss the blonde.

Pulling back Arizona says, "Now whose fault is it."

With a laugh, Callie lays Arizona's injured hand in her lap. Arizona tenses at the close proximity of her hand so close to Callie's core. Unaware of the blondes reason, Callie says. "Relax baby, this wont hurt, I promise." Arizona only smiles and nods her head.

"How about we go for a walk after this?" Arizona asks, trying to think about something else besides her hand and the closeness of the Latina's core.

"A walk sounds perfect. There, finished." Callie says placing the scissors on the table. Placing a gentle kiss on the fresh pink scare.

"Shouldn't leave a scare at all." Seeing Arizona blush, she began to put away her kit. "Come on, lets take that stroll."

Walking to the dusty dirt road that follows the river's edge, Arizona intertwines her hand in Callie's. Loving the feel of being connected to the Latina. They walk for several minutes just taking in the view. Both women feeling so at ease in each others presence, no words are needed. Arizona leaning her head on Callie's shoulder they continue to walk. The grounds here are just breathtaking. Its hard to believe something so quiet and amazing is just right outside of the hustle and bustle of Emerald City. With birds chirping away in the welcoming summer breeze, A few fishing boats have came into view of the two women, in the flowing river on their left side. A few people diving into the deep water from one of the boats, enjoying the nice summer day. With a thick green woodland area to their right, Callie points out two wild Turkey's and a spotted fawn deer for Arizona to see as they come to the end the camp ground.

"Its Bambi." Arizona whisperers excitedly. Just then, a little rabbit runs across the road 5 feet in front of the two. "Ohh Callie, it's thumper." Arizona squeals.

Chuckling at the blondes cuteness, Callie shakes her head, leans in to kiss the blondes forehead and mumbles "My girlfriend's a moron."

Turning around they head back to camp. They walk in silence for a few minutes, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Callie?" Arizona asks.

"Hmm?" Callie returns.

"You called me your girlfriend." Arizona says more of a statement than a question. Callie wrinkles her brow at the blonde in confusion. "So I need to know, am I your girlfriend?"

Smiling widely Callie lets out a small laugh. "Yeah."

"Okay, good." Arizona says returning Callie's wide smile, as she takes a hold of Callie's left arm, with her left hand, while her right is entangled with Callie's hand as they walked back to camp. Both lost in the feeling of the other.

"Care to take a swim?" Callie asks as they return back to camp. "I could really use a good dip right now."

"Sounds great." Arizona says, pulling her top over her head, revealing her pearl pink bikini top.

Sun bathing on the huge rocks in the river, that's barely an inch under the water, where the deep water meets the shallows, Arizona takes in the beautiful view of the Latina swimming in the water in front of her. Thinking of future summers spent here with Callie, Arizona is lost in the day dream. Not noticing Callie slowly creeping closer. Arizona feels something at her leg and tries to kick it away. Grabbing both of Arizona's ankles, Callie drags Arizona out into the deeper water.

"No, Callie no! Its COLD" Arizona exclaimed, her body warm from sun bathing, the deeper water feeling like ice water against her skin.

"Yes, Battleship, yes" Callie says in a fit of giggles. Finally giving up in the fight against the Latina. Arizona wraps her arms around Callie's upper body, placing a soft kisses on her shoulder. God there is something about Callie's shoulders, she just wanted to run her tongue over them, so she did.

Callie moaning at the blondes touch, wrapped her arms around Arizona's waist. "This is nice. Being here with you, like this.. it.. it's indescribable." Callie says, leaning into Arizona for a soft kiss. As soon as the kiss started, it turned into something much more.

Arizona's tongue slip over Callie's bottom lip asking for entrance. Quickly accepting, Callie's hands beginning to explore and massage Arizona's back and waist. Exploring Callie's mouth, Arizona moaned in content. Moving her right hand from around Callie, she places it behind Callie's neck deepening the kiss.

Releasing her hold on the blondes back, Callie cups the blondes face and slightly pulls back from the kiss. Smiling widely, staring deep into the blonde's eyes, she says. "I could get use to this."

"Get use to it, baby." Arizona purrs, pulling Callie in for another soft kiss.
Callie's mind is reeling. Not only from the kiss, but term of endearment, Arizona just said. No one has ever called her a pet name before. Sure she's called her past partners pet names, but it was never reciprocated. This was a new feeling. Like, she could actually feet that Arizona really cared for her.

"I.. I want to tell you something, but I don't know if I should. I.. I don't want to scare you… I.. argh…" Callie said, getting frustrated with herself, she's never been one to be able to put into words how she's feeling. "What I want to say, scares the hell out of myself, but I can't help it, Ari." she finishes, looking off over to the side of the river bank, watching a chipmunk scurry around, refusing to meet Arizona's eyes.

Arizona noticing Callie's face fall, and asks "Callie, what's wrong babe?" Running her thumb over one of the Latina's perfect cheek bones. Watching the Latina shake her head, tears appearing in her eyes. "Callie, look at me." Yet, Callie refuses.

"You can tell me anything, Calliope." Moving her head into the Latina's eye site, Callie moving her eyes down between them, looking at the water rippling between them. Hooking her finger under the Latina's chin, Arizona assured her, "Honey, I want you to feel like you can tell me anything. I am your girlfriend after all, right?" She asks with a smile, ducking her head down towards Callie's gaze trying to lighten the mood.

Wiping away a tear that appeared in the corner of her eye, Callie spoke "I.. I've never felt like this before, I.. I thought I had, but now.." Shaking her head Callie continued. "… now I know I hadn't," finally meeting the blondes eyes. "I.. I'm falling for you Arizona, and that terrifies the shit out of me."

Arizona smiled, relieved that Callie was feeling the same way she was. "Its okay to be scared babe. It means… well, I think it means there is something to lose, right?" Arizona asked. Seeing the Latina nod, Arizona added, "If it helps… I'm scared too, because I can't begin to think about losing you, not after I just found you." Nodding with the Latina, she continued with tears in her own eyes now, "I falling for you too, Calliope, so much." Arizona finished, hugging the Latina closer, crushing her lips into Callie's, Both showing so much emotion.

Bringing a hand up to cup the blondes cheek, licking Arizona's bottom lip asking for entrance into the blondes mouth. Arizona readily accepts Callie's request. Moaning into each others mouth, they couldn't get enough of each other. Arizona running her hands down past Callie's shoulders, past her sides to her hips and back up. Briefly grazing the Latina's side breasts. Feeling braver, she begins to move her hands to the Latina's stomach, needing the smooth tight flesh. Callie slowly roaming her hands down Arizona's back until her hands me the blondes hips, pulling their bodies flush together. Skimming her fingertips up past the Latinas torso and squeezing a breast, she feels Callie's body tense slightly.

Pulling back slightly bringing her arm down to Callie's hips, she said, "I'm sorry. I-I know your probably not ready.. I.. I'm moving too fast aren't I…. I'm sorry." Waiting for Callie to respond but she doesn't. She just looks lovingly into Arizona's eyes. The blonde continues "Cal, are you okay?"

Shocked at the way her body was responding to the blondes touch, Callie couldn't form words. She could only gaze into those clear, baby blue eyes she loves. Needing to feel the touch again she placed her hand top of Arizona's smooth hand that was still positioned on her hip. Bringing the blondes hand to her breast squeezing her hand. Taking Callie's hint Arizona began needing and massaging the Latinas Carmel breasts slowly, blue eyes never leaving brown.

Finally breaking their gaze, Arizona places a kiss on Callie's chest just above her breasts. Kissing her way slowly up to the brunettes neck.

Callie, rolling her head back with a soft moan, giving the blonde more room to explore.

Biting and nipping the sensitive skin of Callie's pulse point, while continuing needed the taller women's breast, she left her mark on the Latina. Wanting the her to raise her head back up, she licked from Callie's jaw line to hear ear and whispered "Kiss me!"

Callie lifting her head and looking deep into the shorter women's eyes that sparkled. She crashed their lips together. Callie didn't know how long the kiss lasted, seconds.. minutes.. She had no idea. She loses all sense of time, every time she kisses Arizona.

Lungs on fire, from lack of oxygen, Callie broke the kiss. Lightly touching her nose on Arizona's cheek inhaling the blondes scent, breathlessly, she says, "I'm not ready. I.. I want too, I do, but I'm just... I just ... need a little more time."

Nodding her head in understanding. Arizona quietly spoke. "I'll wait for you forever, Calliope. No rush, baby, okay? No rush." She said, lightly grazing the Latinas nose with hers.

Smiling Callie says "Sting rays." Trying to break the silence.

"Hmm?" Arizona hummed confused.

"Being here in the water makes me think of Sting Rays. I.. I've always wanted to swim with the rays."

"Sea Turtles" Arizona smiled, leaning in to give Callie a light kiss.

By mid-afternoon, both women were feeling exhausted from the blazing sun. Deciding to take a nap in Callie's shaded tent. Both feeling so safe and secure in each other's arms they drifted off to a peaceful sleep.

A vehicle door shutting roused Callie from her sleep. "Torres."

"Oh shit!" Callie exclaimed.

"Wha... what's wrong? What's the matter." Arizona's sleep filled mind asked, shooting up from the pillow the two shared.

"It's uhh.. my friend Mark, shit. What's he doing here. He's suppose to be in New York with his sick mom!" Callie surprisingly whispered.

"Okay?" Arizona questioned.

Not knowing how to put this to her new girlfriend. She didn't want to upset her in any way, but she needed to talk to Mark, preferably alone, and away from Arizona, when she told him about her new found sexuality. Mark is one that doesn't really have a filter, and she don't want him to say anything to upset her Arizona. So she needed to do this alone.

"Don't be mad. Okay?" Callie says, getting up on her knees, peeking out the window to see where Mark went to. "Please? I am going to distract Mark and I need you to sneak out of the tent and go to your camp for a little while. I need to do this alone. I... I don't want him to see us like this. Not yet. I need to discuss things..." she said while pointing between herself and Arizona "...with him." She said crawling over to kiss the blonde.

Before Arizona could say a word, Callie was up and out of the tent. What the hell just happened she thought. Arizona knowing, coming out to your family and friend is important. Extremely important, but she'd be lying if she said what Callie just done didn't hurt. Chalking Callie's actions up to her nerves, she looked out towards the sound of Callie's voice. She sees the two standing there in a embrace, with Marks back towards the tent. She slipped out quickly. Not even bothering to zip the tent back up. Those hands better not wonder down any farther or he will see the Robbins wrath, she thought.

Walking back to her camp Arizona slips in her tent to be out of prying eyes. She knows if she stays out in the open she will watch every move the two make, and she doesn't want to do that to Callie, but there is something about Mark she didn't trust, and she hadn't even met the man yet.

Greeting Mark in an embrace Callie hugged him tightly, asking how his sick mom was doing. Mark tells her, his mom is fine. Callie was tense at the thought of being caught in bed with Arizona before she had a chance to explain to Mark. Seeing Arizona slip out of the tent she visibly relaxes. Mark sliding his hands down to the Latinas plump backside groped her. Grabbing his hands she pushes them away from her bottom. God, she prayed Arizona did not just see that.

"What's got you so tense Cal? Missing the hospitals golden boy?" Mark asked with a smirk.

"I'm not tense and Honestly? No.. No I've not missed anyone in these past 3 weeks." Callie states, shaking her head. But boy, she was missing the blonde she just had in her arms mere minutes ago. She couldn't get enough of her. She had to get this conversation out of the way so she can go back her gorgeous girlfriend. Girlfriend. Arizona's girlfriend. Hello, this is my girlfriend, Arizona. Boy, that is never going to get old, She thought with a smile.

"I know I'm all tense, so how about you, helping a guy out." Mark says with a devious grin and a wink.

"Mark, seriously? Grow up!" Callie said getting pissed at the self proclaimed man whore and slapped him on the side of his head. "I need to talk to you, and I need you to act like my friend right now, not some horn dog. This is serious! Okay?" Callie pleaded.

"Okay Cal, what's wrong." He asked.

"I..uh..I hav... I need to tell you some stuff that's happened to me while you were away. I ..uhh.. Please let me get this all out before you say anything. Please?"

"Sure Cal. Talk to me."

In an hour long conversation, Callie proceeded to tell Mark everything that has transpired between her and Arizona. Marks face never falling or flinching at Callie's confessions new found love.

"Well?" Callie asked with her head down.

"Torres, I can't say that I'm shocked." Mark said. "Love is love, right?

"What? You're saying, you are not shocked that I'm falling for a women?" Callie spoke. "A women, Mark, ME, with another women? Doesn't shock you in the least bit? Because it sure as hell shocks me!"

"No Cal, it doesn't." Mark said shaking his head. "I mean, does it really matter who your with, man or women, as long you're happy? You can't help who you fall in love with. The heart wants what it wants, and you can't change that."

"She makes me happy. I... I feel like I'm a better person when she's around, you know? You'll really love her, Mark. She... she's smart and funny, gorgeous.. an.. and Beautiful." Callie says with a huge grin. "Would you like to.. You want to meet her?"

"Of course I want to meet the girl that's put that spark in your eyes." Mark said taking the Latina into a strong embrace. "I'm really happy for you Cal. You deserve someone who treats you like a queen."

"She really does make me feel like that. Come on, I want to show her off." Callie said pulling Mark along.

"Wait... I need a beer." Mark said pulling out of Callie's hold, running to his cooler, that is still packed in his truck.

The three talked well into the evening. Arizona and Callie keeping in contact with each other at all times, either holding hands, brushing their legs up against the others or an arm draped around a shoulder. Mark and Arizona asking each other questions, trying to feel each other out. If Callie didn't know any better, she would think the two knew each other for years. After about 2 hour of easy conversation between the three people. Mark excuses himself to the river bank, to do a little evening fishing.

"So, are you okay?" Arizona asked.

"Yeah.. Yea, he told me, it didn't matter, as long as I'm happy." Callie said pulling Arizona's legs up to rest across hers, leaning in for a quick kiss. "And I.. I know that we're new and everything, but I'm really happy."

"Me too, baby." Arizona purred, Snuggling into Callie's neck. They sat, holding each other, enjoying the sunset.

"You two seemed to get along really good, Thank you." Callie says, placing a kiss on the blondes cheek. "No one I've ever been with has got along with my friends."

"Well, to be honest babe, at first, I wasn't sure about him. Especially after I seen him grab your ass…" Arizona said with a hard glare to the Latina. "…but now, I see what good friends you are. I'd never come between that. Unless of course, he does it again, then he'll see the Robbins wrath." Arizona finishes.

"I'd expect nothing less babe." Callie laughed.

Hearing am SUV in the distance. Callie turned in the direction of the noise.

So, who do you think is showing up? I was a little nervous writing some parts of this chapter and parts of chapter 6. Lets hear it!
Chapter 6 is almost finished, and I'll probably be putting it up tomorrow sometime!

Hope you liked that chapter.
When I first started this story, I thought It would only be about 5-8 Chapters, but now I'm having some many ideas for it, so... This story has a lot of potential of becoming a long fic, but It can also be ended in about 15-20 Chapters, What do you guys think?
