Chapter 13
"How are you feeling today?" Callie asked, crossing her arms over her chest, leaning on the door frame that lead into her girlfriends hospital room. Today's the day. All of Arizona's test came back normal, she had no sign of infection anywhere in her body and Callie was ready to take her love home. Home. She wished she shared her a home with Arizona. They basically lived together already. There were only rare occasions that they slept apart now, and rare occasions were still too much for Callie.
"I'm feeling okay. Still sore, but better... Please, I just want to go home Callie. I mean, we're both doctors, I know to take it easy, I just want to be at home in my bed.. our bed" Arizona pouted.
Walking out of the room, Arizona figured Callie had already heard enough of her complaining and retreated back to the Peds ward. She had been complaining nonstop to her girlfriend for five days now, and she was sure Callie was sick of it.
Hearing shuffling at her door again, Arizona looked up. "Alright. Whose ready to bust out of here?" Callie say as she wheeled a wheelchair into her room.
"My tests came back clear?" Arizona asked, looking back up at her girlfriend. Seeing Callie nod with a breathtaking smile that stopped her heart every time she sees it.
"Yup. But Bailey said you had to take it easy, the only reason they're letting you go now is because you're still going be in a doctors care." Callie says winking at her girlfriend. There's something to be said about Bailey. She usually doesn't take any bull from any of her patients, but for some reason she has a soft spot for Arizona. She's only met her in passing before hand and now, you would think the two have known each other for years.
Arizona had been in that hospital bed for six days. A bad fever and infection on the second day caused her to stay four extra days to receive a high dose of antibiotics. That in turn, caused Arizona to become agitated at everyone coming and going including Callie. Callie knew Arizona mood was frazzled, because she was worried about her practice, even after Teddy reassured them a dozen of times that she had things handled. So Callie tried not to let Arizona's sour mood get to her. Teddy even started doing interviews for a new doctor. Taking some of the pressure off Arizona, but it still didn't work even after Teddy narrowed it down to three doctors for Arizona to interview. She wasn't going to be happy until she went back to work.
"What do you say? Wanna bust outta this hell hole?" Callie said giggling. Leaning over on the bed kissing her girlfriend. Then she began to pack Arizona's things up. It was finally Friday, six long, boring days since her surgery, and Arizona had enough of that hospital bed. Callie brought things from her apartment to keep her mood at bay, such as her iPad, Henry the elephant, gossip magazines, she even finished one of Callie's Sudoku puzzles she despised, but after the first evening nothing worked. She even brought Arizona one of her pillows to sleep with, because she said it helped her sleep when Callie couldn't be around due to surgeries, consults, rounds and well.. Bailey. Saying the pillow smelled just like Callie and her scent had a way of calming her. But now it smelled like an old stuffy hospital.
"Hell yes!" Arizona flashed that dimpled smile to her girlfriend, helping Callie pack her things. "Calliope… "
"Hmm.."
"I'm sorry I've been so difficult this past week. I just... I hated being immobilized with the infection and all. And Bailey was being such a Nazi about you sleeping in the bed with me and she wouldn't let me move around much…" Arizona said, taking Callie's hand in hers, bringing it up to kiss her knuckles. "..I was just getting cabin fever and I had no right to take it out on you. You were only trying to help make sure I was comfortable, and I'm sorry for being such a pain in your ass." she said, feeling bad for being so short and hateful with Callie this whole week, When she was only trying to take care of her.
"You may have been a pain, but you're my pain, and I wouldn't change that for the world." Callie said, squeezing Arizona's hand. "I love you."
"And I love you. Thank you." Arizona says back, leaning in to kiss Callie's soft lips. Callie quickly accepting Arizona's tongue in her mouth, moaning at the feel. Arizona was too busy enjoying Callie's taste, she hasn't experienced in almost a week, to notice a new presence at the door.
"Ummhmm." Bailey said, clearing her throat to let the two women know they wasn't alone, as she walked further into the room with Arizona's release papers in her hands. "I hate to break up the mood in here, but you have not been released for any kind of funny business, so knock it off, or you will stay until you are completely healed. Its your call?" she said, crossing her arms, with the papers underneath.
"It was just a little kiss Bailey." Callie bit back.
"Little kiss, I haven't seen that kind of face eating since Silence of the Lambs, Torres."
"Oh God, I act like a bad girl once in my life and I get caught." Arizona lectured herself and smacked her head with her hand. Laughing when she saw Callie cheeks flush, "Nothing more will happen, I promise Miranda. Please let me go home?"
"You're lucky I like you Robbins, normally I would make someone stay a few more days at least, with the kind of infection you had, but since you will still be in doctors care at home, I'm bending the rules...Now, listen to me and listen carefully. I'm releasing you into Dr. Torres' care. Your immune system is low due to the infection right now, you are to rest, no heavy lifting, no physical activity and absolutely no work. You're looking at two to three weeks before I will give you the all clear. Could be even longer, just depends if you listen to doctors orders or not. I want to see you for a check up in one week."
"Thank you, Bailey." Arizona said, going back to packing up her things.
"Did you get the papers off my desk?" Callie whispers to Bailey, taking the papers out of her hand, acting like she's reading over Arizona's release forms.
"Yes girl, please, I got this. Now Give those back before she suspects something." Bailey insisted in a hushed voice, grabbing the papers back out of Callie's hand.
"What are you two doing over there." Arizona questions, seeing Bailey grab the papers back out of Callie's hands and hearing them whisper back and forth like fighting kids.
"Pss… girl, Callie here thinks you can't sign your own damn release papers, I told her your not that incompetent. Here." Bailey says laying the papers on the rolling table, coming to stand beside Arizona, keeping the last of the papers covered. She only lifted the bottom of the papers just enough, so Arizona could sign, but not enough to see what all exactly she was signing.
"Jeez, why do I feel like I'm signing my life away. I don't ever recall having to sign that many papers when I bought my jeep." Arizona whined, as she signed the last paper and Bailey took the files quickly and placed them in the folder she had. "Someone needs to have a talk with administration about that. That is ridiculous."
"You're free to go, take care of her Torres. See you in one week Robbins." Bailey says, walking up to the door that Callie was holding open for her.
"Stick it in my top drawer." Callie said low enough for only Bailey to hear, turning the corner after walking out of the room, Bailey gave a thumbs up to Callie. "No funny business Robbins you hear me?" Bailey yelled, walking down the hall.
"Ready to hit the road babe?" Callie asked, pulling Arizona's overnight bag on her shoulder.
"Beyond ready… Um.. Callie.. why were you acting so weird just now?" Arizona asked, taking her seat in the wheelchair, laying Callie's pillow and Henry on her lap.
"Umm.. Its just.. Bailey, she's never caught me in that kinda position before.. yeah.. and it was… a little awkward… I'm just so excited to get you home. I've been so lonely without you there. I've missed you." Callie said pouting as she double checked the room to make sure they had everything.
"Well miss no more baby, I'm coming home." Arizona said over excited as they arrived at the waiting elevator.
"Hey guys." Meredith said towards the couple.
"Quick Callie, get me out of here before Medusa decides to make me stay longer." Arizona says teasing Meredith.
During the time she was on her high doses of antibiotics and pain killers, Arizona had thought Meredith was Medusa. She woke up while Meredith was checking her stats and progress. Arizona immediately started yelling for her to get out and for no one to look her in the eyes or they would be turned to stone. Which now she fully teases Meredith about.
"Arizona, stop calling her that." Callie chuckled, bringing them to a stop to talk to Meredith. As they heard a pager blair.
"I'm breaking out medusa, don't miss me too much." Arizona teased. She had come to really like Meredith and Bailey.
"My hearts already breaking." Meredith played, looking down at her pager, seeing she was needed in the Pit.
"I have to go... Take it easy Arizona." She says running off to the pit.
"Will do." Arizona yelled.
"Come on babe, let's get you home." Callie said pushing Arizona outside to the waiting vehicle.
Later that evening, Arizona was finally resting on the sofa with her feet propped up.
"You need anything babe." Callie asked, throwing a blanket on Arizona's legs.
"No, I'm fine Callie... I'm not fragile, please don't treat me like I am." Arizona huffed. She was tired of being waited on hand and foot.
"I know your not fragile, you just got out of the hospital, you're still weak." Callie's sighed, sitting down on the Coffee table that sat in front of the couch.
"I know.. I know.. Its just.. I don't know what to do with myself.. I can't just sit here and do nothing, when I need to be at work." Arizona sighed, rubbing her temples with the palms of her hands. "I like to do things on my own, I'm not used to having someone to help me with anything. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or anything Calliope… I'm just… my emotions are getting the best of me.. I'll do better I promise." Arizona said. She knew Callie was only helping, but she was getting damn tired of everyone trying to help when she was able to do most things on her own.
"I'm just trying to make things easier on you honey. I am your girlfriend. I'm suppose to take care of you, okay. If the roles were reversed what would you do?"
"You could bet your sexy ass I wouldn't leave your side for a minute." Arizona said, vowing to herself she would stop complaining about the help and just be grateful she had Callie there to help. "Have I told you how thankful I am for you?"
"I don't recall.." Callie teased, as Arizona pulled her to the sofa for a heated kiss. Callie knew she needed to stop it before it went any further, because they still had a few more weeks before Arizona could extinguish the fire raging between her legs.
As she started to pull back, Arizona deepened the kiss, by placing a hand on the back of Callie's neck and a hand trailed up her shirt and landed on her breast, squeezing the mound. While their tongues battled for dominance.
"No, no.. we can't." Callie pulled back, resting her forehead on Arizona's, trying to catch her breathe. "I want you so bad, but we can't." she said, seeing Arizona pout. "Bailey said no physical activity."
"I promise, I'll just lay there and let you do all the work." Arizona smirked. As she grabbed Callie's boob again.
"Mmm. tempting.. but no. Nice try." Callie said, standing up from the sofa. "What would you like for dinner babe?" she asked, walking into the kitchen area.
"Ooo, can you make me some alfredo? I want your homemade, not the jar shit, if its not too much trouble?" Arizona said sticking her bottom lip out, making a puppy face as Callie turned to look at her. She knew Callie could never say no to that look.
"Let me see if you have some cheese." Callie said, opening the refrigerator door.
"We do. I made Teddy go to the store and get everything earlier when she stopped by my room." Arizona said laughing, as Callie turned around studying her.
"So, let me get this right…your trying to seduce me.. for my cooking skills.. Huh?" Callie teased. Pulling out the cheese, butter and heavy cream out of the fridge.
"That and your bedroom skills.. Ooo don't forget.. because I love you." Arizona smiled, teasing back.
"Mmm.. Kitchen.. Bedroom.. their both rooms I'm fantastic in." she said shrugging, as she went about grating the cheese for their dinner.
"You sure are awful sure of yourself aren't you Calliope." Arizona says, getting up slowly off the sofa, closing the distance in between her and Callie.
Feeling a chin rest on her shoulder and arms wrapped around her from behind, Callie leaned back in the embrace.
"From the sounds you make in both rooms.. I'd say.. I'm fairly certain." Callie laughed, feeling Arizona smack her butt, as she continued getting their dinner ready.
"I've missed this." Arizona said, placing a kiss on Callie's neck. Needing to feel close to her girlfriend. God she really missed this. Just the two of them alone doing mundane things around the house.
"Mmm.. Me too." Callie said, tilting her head to the left a little to give Arizona more access to roam, as she began to stir the cheese into the saucepan of ingredients.
"Will you help me with a bath after dinner?" Arizona asked, pouring a glass of red wine for Callie and only a glass of water for herself, since she was still on pain medicine. She really didn't want Callie's help with a bath, but she knew it would appease her girlfriend.
"If that's what you want." Callie says, taking the pasta to the sink to drain.
"Have you talked to Mark any?" Arizona asked, taking a seat at the bar.
"Yeah, he called yesterday. He said he hopes you get better soon. He only signed a six month contract with the practice. Something about not being sure if it was the right move after all. I don't know... he never thinks things through." Callie said. "You want the alfredo mixed in or on top of the pasta?"
"Mixed, please. So how are things with him and that girl… Lexie right?"
"Yeah.. typical Mark, he thinks their fine.. but from what Mer says, Lexie's not handling the long distance too well. She doesn't come out of her room unless its for work. Mark tried to get her to stay at his place since he's still paying rent for now, but she refuses." Callie says, plating their pasta. "I hope he just keeps little Sloan in his pants while he's away.
"Yeahhh... I'd rather not talk about little Sloan when I'm about to enjoy my girlfriends amazing cooking." Arizona says as she takes a bite of her pasta.
"Mmm.. oh my god.. so good baby." Arizona says, taking another bite of her pasta.
"See.. case in point." Callie laughs, while trying to take a bite of her pasta. "You make the same noises in the bedroom too." she says as Arizona playfully punches her on the arm. "Ouch…" she says through chuckles.
"So, I was thinking one day this week, I'd run down to the clinic and pick up those Doctor resumes Teddy has narrowed down for you." Callie said, taking a sip of her wine, seeing Arizona nod. "And check and see if Teddy or Kepner need anything while I'm there."
They continued there small talk through dinner, and as Callie cleaned up the kitchen. Both women glad things were starting to get back to normal. Making their way to the bathroom, Callie began to draw Arizona's bath. Filling it with lavender oils to relax her. Arizona began to undress herself but she was having some trouble with her bra, reaching behind her back Arizona felt a pull at her incision site.
"Can you help me?" Arizona asked turning around so Callie could unclasp her bra. "I can't reach all the way, it pulls too much." Her surgical scar was double the size of a normal appendectomy scar. Bailey and Grey had to widen the incision, to clean out the infection properly.
"Yea." Callie said placing her phone on the dock that sat on the counter, so Arizona could listen to some soft music while she relaxed. Helping her girlfriend undress, as her phone began to ring. "I'm going to go grab you some pajamas. You need anything else while I'm gone?" She asked helping Arizona step in the tube.
"No, I'm good. Thanks babe. Umm… Callie?" Arizona questions, setting down gently in the tub full of hot water. "You do know your phones ringing, I'm not just hearing things am I?"
"Yeah.. Whoever it is, is not important right now.." she said. Callie had to get out of that room now compose the fire they was beginning to brew between her legs again, after seeing her girlfriends naked body. She didn't have time or the strength to take a phone call right now. 'Damnit, I don't know if I can handle two or three more weeks of not touching her' Callie thought to herself as she pulled out a shirt of her own for Arizona to wear. Knowing how much Arizona loved to sleep in her shirts. Returning to the bathroom, she leaning on the door frame taking in her girlfriends relaxed state. In Callie's eyes Arizona couldn't get anymore beautiful.
"You're staring." Arizona said, with her eyes closed and her head leaned back on the tub. She could feel Callie's eyes on her.
"I'm not" she counters, after being startled from her day dream of ravishing Arizona's gorgeous body.
"You are a terrible liar, and yes you are, now close your mouth. I can feel your eyes on me." Arizona says peeking on eye open to confirm her suspicion.
"Yeah, so? Can you blame me?" Callie says, setting the shirt down and lifting herself on the counter to sit. "You're hot. Like.. crazy hot." she said, crossing her legs as she began to fidget. Trying to stem the wetness that was forming between her legs at the site of her wet and naked girlfriend.
Seeing Callie squirm in her seat, and that dark look in her eyes. She knew she was having an effect on her girlfriend and she was going to play it up.
Starting by rubbing her chest softly with her hands, "Mmm.." she moaned. "Like what you see Calliope?" Arizona asked. Taking her nipple in between her fingers and giving it a tug, rolling her eyes back at the feel. Sucking her bottom lip in her mouth and biting down, her hands traveled down to her torso, blue eyes meeting dark brown.
Watching Arizona's hand move over her body, Callie couldn't help but stare like a deer caught in headlights, mouth agape. She imagined Arizona's hands were her hands… her tongue.. skimming across Arizona's pert chest, traveling between her breasts, down her torso to her navel and back up again, taking a nipple in her mouth and giving it a nip with her teeth, feeling the bud harden at the contact. Her mouth slightly opened watching Arizona roam her body. She felt hot liquid dampin her panties, bringing her out of her sexual thoughts.
"Ari.. zona, you.. you can't.. we can't.. you have to stop.. I can't watch you do this.. I.." Callie stuttered.
"Come on… live a little.. I know there is a bad girl inside of you dying to come out." Arizona said, winking at her seductively. "We can Calliope, you can. You wont hurt me, I promise… I'm healing.. a little sore, but I'm healing, my immune system is the only thing that's holding me down now. And this.. will only boost it. Please.. I need you.." Arizona purred, as she sat up to let the water out of the tub.
"No.. we can't.. I don't want to take any changes of ripping your stitches open because that pain is a real bitch, I know.. because I ripped by surgical scar open when I had gall bladder surgery and I was only bending over to put something down. You know.. that was only a half an inch scar.. sometimes it doesn't take much. So No.. no we're not." Callie said in her aroused state.
"Fine." she says as Callie helps her get out of the tub and dried off. Slipping Callie's shirt on over her body. "I'll just take matters in my own hands then, you can watch if you'd like.. or if you happen to change your mind.. you can always join in on the fun." she said, walking into the bedroom.
Sighing she walked into the bedroom. "Arizonaaaa.. don'tttt." Callie whined. "You know I always want you.. always and forever baby.. please, don't torture me like this.. you've already ruined my favorite pair of panties as it is.. their soaked."
"Well, if there already ruined, you might as well make it worth while. Right?" Arizona said, as she lifted herself up and threw Callie's shirt off to the side, reveling her naked body. "Show me." she said, as her hands explored her chest and torso.
"What?" Callie counters, losing herself in Arizona's toned body.
"You said your panties are soaked, right? So show me… Let me see what I do to you." Arizona said as her hand travels down to play with her curls. "I'll show you, what you do to me." she said as she began to circle her clit with a gasp. "Mmm.."
"Arizona, do you not know how weird this is?" Callie said, sitting on the edge of the bed, taking in the sight of her girlfriend pleasuring herself, only making the throb between her legs quicken.
"Mmm.. not at all.. I think its hot.. So humor me!" Arizona said with a pout.
"Wh.. what?" Callie said, squirming, trying to curb her arousal, as she watches Arizona run her fingers through her slick folds.
"Humor me.. I'm going to humor you and let you take care of me without complaints.. So humor me.. and do this for me." Arizona said. "Please. I need this Callie.. mmm so bad."
Swallowing the lump that's formed in her throat. "What uhh.. What do yo.. you want me to d-do?" Callie asked nervously, letting Arizona take full control of this situation.
"Mmm.. take your shirt off." Arizona said, bringing her soaked fingers up to her mouth, licking them.
Callie couldn't take it any longer.. Throwing caution to the wind, she slipped her shirt off quickly discarding it next to the shirt Arizona was wearing. "Now, take off your shorts. Let me see you baby." Arizona husked, as she massaged her breasts. Feeling a pool of arousal form between her legs at the site of her almost naked, beautiful girlfriend.
"Mmm.. Calliope do you know how gorgeous you are." Arizona said, as she began to circle her clit once more.
"You are the most beautiful person I've ever laid eyes on. Do you know that." She said, more of a statement than a question. "I think about you all the time when we're apart, and this is always the downfall of it." She says, bringing her wet finger to Callie, rubbing her juices on her lips. "…but then again.. its not really a down fall at all is it.. being wet .. craving your touch all the time."
Licking her lips and moaning at Arizona's taste on her. Callie began to run her hand over her body, her nerve endings on fire at the site of Arizona pleasuring herself. Laying down the bed bedside Arizona to get in a better view and position, she began to squeeze her bra covered breasts, moving her hand down to her side and over her stomach. Running her hands up and down her hips, to her outer thighs and back up. "Mmm.. You're so beautiful Arizona. I've missed you so much." she said, as she continued to toy with her body.
"You're wearing too many clothes Calliope." Arizona said, as she slid a finger inside of herself. "Let me see you." she said, as she watched Callie slip off her bra and wet panties, revealing Callie's luscious mounds. Licking her lips at the sight, Arizona drew her bottom lip into her mouth. "Mmm… so beautiful." she moaned, as she pulled out of herself and circled her clit and then entering herself again. "Calliope.. you're soaked." Arizona said seeing Callie's wetness that had seeped into her thighs.
"Mmm, it's been over a week babe. Like I said... I really missed you." Callie said as she began to fondle her curls.
Reaching her free hand to feel Callie's juices, running her fingers along her girlfriends slit, then bringing her now wet fingers to her mouth. "Oh my god." She groaned, rolling her eyes in the back of her head, at the taste of her girlfriend.
"Mmm..so close… kiss me baby." she demands, thrusting into herself as Callie closes in the distance of their lips for a searing kiss, "Oh god.. I'm.. so.. close… Mmmm.. So good baby..." she says after pulling back, resting her forehead on Callie's, as she continued with her thrusts. "I'm.. com.. Oh.. god.. I'm comin.. Cal.. Callioppeeee!" Arizona screamed as her orgasm took hold, causing her whole body to jerk involuntarily.
Breathless, Arizona flopped back on the bed, giggling. "That was… mmm.."
"Different.." Callie said, kissing Arizona's jaw line, running her tongue up the side of her neck to her pulse. Her arousal only taking on more steam.
Feeling Arizona take one of her breasts in her hand and giving it a soft squeeze. "Ah..ah..ah.. no, no.. No touchy!" Callie said, smacking her hand away.
Running her hand down between her thighs. "My turn baby." Callie purred as she circled her clit, then running her fingers through her folds collecting wetness. "Mmm... I'm imagining your fingers on me... Circling me... Entering me" Callie husked.
"You Arizona... are the only one who has..." Callie said, entering herself with two fingers with a gasp. "...ever turned me on like this. I never knew this kind of love.. this feeling.. until you entered my life. I love you so much, baby."
"I love you too Calliope.. So much baby." Arizona says as she watches Callie pleasure herself, dying to take control, she cups Callie's mound. Teasing her curls, kissing and licking up Callie's jaw line.
"Mmm.. So good baby." Callie says throwing back her head, giving Arizona more access to roam.
Inching her hand down a little further, Arizona ran her fingers through wet folds, then back up to circle Callie's clit. As Callie continued her thrusts. "You feel so good baby..." Arizona whispered in her ear.
"Come for me, Calliope." She said, looking into brown eyes. As she teased her clit. "Don't close your eyes.. Look at me baby."
"Mmm.. So clos... Oh god.. Oh god.. " Callie moaned as she and Arizona picked up their pace. "..Yesss.. Umm... Baby... I'm co.. Cominggg... Ariizzonaaaa..." Callie yelled as her orgasm shook her body.
Collapsing on her back, trying to catch her breath, Callie sighed. "Hmmm... that was definitely... Mmm.." was all Callie could get out. Her mind still reeling from the orgasm.
Giggling at her girlfriend, Arizona rolled over on her side, and draped her arm across Callie's stomach. "Bailey would so not approve."
"Nope.. Definitely not." Callie laughed. running her hand up and down Arizona's back. "You okay?"
"Yea, perfect." Arizona answered, kissing Callie on the chest right above her heart.
"These are my favorite moments ya know.." Arizona husked, burying her face into Callie's neck. "Just being here with you, in your arms... it's my favorite place in the whole world. You make me feel so safe.. so loved... I've uhh.. Been thinking.. Well wondering really.. we're always here or at your place.. And I love being with you every chance I can get.. But.. I just hate not knowing if you are going to be here, or your apartment when I get home late from work.. And I don't want that.. I want to know where you're going to be. I want to come home to our place.. Not my place or your pla..." Arizona said, lifting her head up to look at her girlfriend. "Callie?" She said, as she heard a soft snore from her girlfriend. Signaling Callie is fast asleep.
"Ohh my poor baby's so tired." Arizona lightly laughed, Pulling the cover up over their naked bodies, burying herself into Callie's warm body. "I love you so much Calliope." she whispered, drifting off to dreamland too.
Things that make you go hmm...
Guys what do you think Callie is up too? Is it big? Or is it nothing?
My beta couldn't even guess. Can you?
