This chapter is dedicated to my beta Calzonaheart! :) without her, I'd gave up on this story along time ago. Thank You!
Now, onto the latest installment of 'The River'. Enjoy.
Chapter 29
As promised, the next day following the testimonies on stand, Arizona and Callie had spent the day lounging in bed. They cuddled, napped and watching TV all day long, ordering Chinese and taking a long hot bath together before they retired back to bed with the dogs in tow for the night. The week had drug by slowly for the pair as they tried to wait patiently for the verdict call that still hadn't came.
Friday had finally arrived and Arizona had dinner plans for Callie and herself tonight because she thought they both needed a little unwinding. "Calliope, you need to get up. You're going to be late." Arizona said, walking out of the bathroom after her shower this morning.
"Mmphh... I'm so tired, this week has been draining." She whined, rolling over on Arizona's side of the bed, pulling the covers over her head.
"Callie.. We've only worked two days this week. It's not been that draining." She said, drying her hair with a towel.
"It's been emotionally draining..."
"Ahh. It has. Come on, get your ass in the shower or I'm leaving without you." Arizona wanted nothing more than to stay in bed herself today, this day had been hard for her last year. But she had bigger things on her agenda for today so she pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind.
"Drop your towel." Callie said, peeking her head out from under the covers. Seeing Arizona was still wrapped up in her towel.
"Huh..."
"Drop your towel, give me some…. incentive to get up." She said wiggling her eyebrows to her girlfriend.
"Calliope Torres." She laughed. "Do you ever get enough?"
"Not when it comes to you." She growled, sitting up in bed.
"Well, how about this as incentive." Arizona said. Going to the closest she pulls out a long flat gift box. Laying it on the bed, "Open it." She said looking up at her girlfriend.
Grinning, "What's the special occasion?" Callie asked looking at the box.
"A 'just because' gift." Arizona said shrugging her shoulders. "After this week, I figured we needed a little something to look forward too." She said, sitting on the bed.
Untying the ribbon from the box, Callie lifted the lid. Shuffling through tissue paper, reviling a red poppy capped sleeve dress. "Arizona, it's beautiful." she said standing from the bed and pulling the dress from the box. Holding it up to her body to glance in the mirror. "What's the special occasion?"
Shrugging her shoulders, "I figured, maybe.. dinner and dancing tonight?" she said, thinking about their long week. "I thought we could just let loose tonight and just dance it out.. how's that sound?" She asked, leaning in for a kiss.
Nodding in a kiss, "Yes.." Callie purred, flicking Arizona's towel open. "Awesome." she said as her eyes traveled down to Arizona's bare chest.
"Calliope..." Arizona squealed, as she felt Callie squeezed her boob.
Laughing, "I'm going to jump in the shower. Thank you for my dress, baby. I love it." she purred, kissing pink lips again.
"You're welcome, Calliope. I thought about taking my car to work today, It's a decent day out.. what do you think?" Arizona said, getting dressed for the day.
"Okay, sounds good.. I can't wait for warmer weather, so we can put our jeeps in the garage and start driving the cars again."
"Mhmm.. Me too.. I'm going to cook breakfast while you get ready. Don't be too long." Arizona said, walking out the bedroom door.
Fifteen minutes later Arizona ran back upstairs to the bedroom. "Babe, I have to go in, Teddy called and said there was a small emergency that needed to be handled now. Come find me before you start?" She asked walking into the bathroom where Callie was applying her makeup.
"Yeah, I will. What time are we going out tonight?"
"Be ready by 6. I tried to get later dinner reservations but they were booked." Arizona said.
"I'll probably just get ready at work then, I should be in surgery till 5:30." Callie said, getting dressed.
"Sounds, Good. I gotta go, baby." She said kissing Callie's lips quickly. "Breakfast is on the counter.. Love you." She said rushing out of the room.
"Love you too, be careful." Callie yelled as she slipped on her flats.
"Teddy have you seen the Sanderson boys chart?" Arizona asked, shuffling through the file cabinet. She had been at work for a few hours now, and her day hadn't slowed down.
"Yeah, it's still in the rack, you need it right now?" Teddy said, putting a six year old in a room.
"Yeah, I need to fax his information to the pharmacy again." She said taking the chart out of the rack. "Is it lunch time yet?" She sighed, she was so ready for tonight.
"As soon as you see Patrick in room 2 we can go grab a bite." She said coming out of the room.
"How's my afternoon schedule?" She asked, faxing the paper.
"All set." Teddy said, "Callie coming to lunch?"
"No, she has two back to back surgeries." Arizona said, looking at her watch. "She's about to go in her first one now." She said pulling her phone out of her pocket.
- I hope you rock your surgery, Miss Badass. ;) I love you. - XO Arizona -
- Thank you. I. Love. You. Can't wait for tonight.. Speaking of... Should I wear.. Underwear? ;) haha - XO - Miss. Badass -
- I have no idea what are you referring too ma'am? ;) - XO - Arizona -
- You know exactly what I'm referring too, lady! La Spiga ring a bell? - XO Callie -
- You are a dirty dirty girl, Calliope.. and... use your best judgment. ;) Now get your ass to work. Love - XO Arizona -
- Haha, Love! Have a good lunch, baby :) - XO Callie -
A few minutes later, Arizona came walking out of her patient room, ready for lunch with her best friend. "Ready to roll Theodora... Let's get the hell outta here." Arizona smiled, walking into the nurses lounge. "I'm hungry."
Making sure her coat was sipped up tight, "After you, madam..." Teddy joked, walking out of the building.
Making their way to their favorite deli. They grabbed a table by the window of the small restaurant. Turning around away from Arizona, Teddy took off her jacket and hung it on the chair. "Teddy... Did you change before we left? Because I could have sworn you had your black scrub shirt on earlier?" Arizona questioned, seeing Teddy hang her jacket on the chair. Now seeing she had on a white T-shirt.
"I was hoping you would notice." Teddy said with her back still to her friend. "You see, from behind it looks like a plain old white shirt... but..." Teddy said, quickly turning around, seeing Arizona's mouth agape when she saw the front of her shirt. "Then I turn around and it's like BAM... Uh-MAZING... Right?" Teddy said, standing in front of Arizona. The front of Teddy's shirt was tie dyed with a large cat face on the front. Teddy had always had a thing for cat silly shirts.
Opening and closing her mouth several times Arizona was speechless. "I... Ah.. I.. Wow!" She breathed.
"Awesome right?... Leaves you speechless." Teddy said with a huge grin. She knew how much Arizona hated shirts like this so she couldn't resist wearing it to lunch.
"I... I have no words..." She said.
"No words needed..."
Looking at the hideous shirt that graced her friends body. "Please.. Please, Teddy.. tell me someone bought that for you as a gift? Tell me you would not buy that.." Arizona said.
"Best seven bucks I've ever spent." Teddy said walking up in line to order her lunch.
Walking up behind Teddy, Arizona was speechless. She couldn't fathom how a grown women would want to wear a tie dyed cat shirt. "You.. I.. You know what... I got nothing." Arizona said, laughing while Teddy proudly wore her shirt.
"So, what's the plans for the weekend?" Teddy asked as they were finishing their lunch.
"Well, if all goes as planned, we won't see the outside of our bedroom until Monday morning..." Arizona said, taking a drink of her soda.
"Oooh.. Fancy." Teddy joked. "Heard anything from the lawyers since Monday?"
"I...I.." Arizona giggled.. "I'm sorry, Teds, but I can't take you serious when you look like that." Arizona laughed at her friend in the tie dyed shirt.
"Hey... Don't be jealous of me and my amazballs cat shirt, Ari."
"Only you, Theodora.." She laughed. "And no, we've not heard anything since Monday." She said hearing her phone buzz on the table. "That's him now." Seeing it was her lawyers office calling, "Hello?" She said. "Yes. Okay.. When?... Oh, he did." She said with no emotion. "Okay. Thanks you." She said, quietly hanging up the phone.
Seeing Arizona staring off into space, "Arizona. What did they say?" She asked, taking Arizona's hand in hers.
"I.. Uh.." Arizona said, nervously. "I have to go.. Can.. Can you take me.."
"Breathe.. I'll take you anywhere you need to go." She said standing from her seat and putting on her coat.
"Can you take me home?"
"Of course, come on sweetie."
Coming out of her last surgery a few minutes after 6, Callie noticed the time on her phone. "Damn it." She huffed. Sending Arizona a quick text message.
- Surgery ran long, babe. I'm getting ready now, I'll be down in a few. - XO - Callie -
Rushing to her office, she quickly freshened up, putting on her new red dress Arizona had bought her. After reapplying her makeup, she quickly fixed her hair in a sleek long pony tail. She knew Arizona loved her hair up, saying it was easy access to her favorite kissing spot. Walking downstairs she expected to see Arizona waiting in her office, but the room was dark and the door was locked. Making her way to the nurses station, she seen Teddy working away. "Teddy, where is Arizona? We're suppose to go to dinner?"
"Oh, Callie..." Teddy mumbled nervously. "Umm.. Yo.. You look really nice." She said, accidentally dropping a bunch of papers off her desk. "Shit.."
"Thanks, Arizona bought it for me... Have you seen her?" Callie asked. She wondered what was wrong with Teddy, she had never seen her act more weird.
Standing from the floor where she picked her papers up, pulling out the chair beside her. "Come sit, Cal."
Callie could see that Teddy wouldn't meet her eyes. "What's going on with you, Teddy? where is she?"
"You know, today is February 27?"
"Yeah, it's Friday?"
"Today marks two years since Tim's passing." She said, looking at her hands that laid on her desk.
"Oh, I didn't know that.. we never really talked about the date.." Callie wondered after all they had been through why didn't she know the date of Tim death. "What's.." She swallowed hard. "What's going on Teddy? Where is she?"
"That's not all.. the.. ahh.. the lawyer called her while we were at lunch. The judge has made his decision." She said looking up at Callie's eyes for the first time since she entered the room. "He had a family emergency this afternoon though. The lawyers called to tell you both to be at the courthouse tomorrow by 11 a.m. for the verdict reading."
"Where is she Teddy?" Callie demanded. She didn't understand why Teddy just wouldn't tell her already.
"I'm not sure where she went.. She just… took off.. I think she may have been headed to the river... I'm not sure though."
"How long has she been gone." Callie asked standing up.
"She never came back after lunch.. about four hours or so.."
"Why didn't you tell me, Teddy?" Callie said, raising her voice.
"You were in back to back surgeries and.. so she told me not too.."
"Bullshit. I deserved to know. I.. I gotta go.." She said, rushing out of the building to her waiting car.
Dialing Arizona's number it just kept going straight to voicemail. "Damn it, baby.. Pick up.." She sighed, about thirty minutes after she left the office, Callie was driving down the old road to the river. "Fuck." she said as her heel slipped off the gas pedal on the bumpy road. "Why didn't I wear my flats with this dress." she groaned in frustration. "Please be here.. Please be here.." She kept repeating over and over. Driving down the small dirt road along the river, the camping spot finally came into view, it was getting darker out and she didn't see Arizona's car anywhere. "Damn it." Where is she?" she said to herself as she drove her car closer. Finally she saw Arizona standing in a white one shoulder, belted cocktail dress, by a small fire at the exact spot they shared many fires their first three weeks of knowing each other. Her long blonde hair had that slightly curly beachy look that Callie absolutely loved.
Seeing headlights finally shine down the road, Arizona stood from her seat and took a few deep breaths to get herself under control. Feeling her heart race faster and faster as the car came to a stop. Arizona stood there with her hands laced together hanging down in front of her waist as Callie opened the door.
Turning the car off, "Arizona.. baby, why didn't you tell me about today? Are you okay?" Callie asked, getting out of her car. "Talk to me.." she said, seeing Arizona looking nervous.
"Come here..." Arizona said, when she saw the concerned look on her girlfriends face as she walked closer to her.
"Why..why didn't you…" Callie said.
Placing her finger over Callie's lips to silence her, "Calliope. You look absolutely beautiful." she said, taking a deep breath, "Come here, baby." Arizona said, taking Callie's hand and leading them to a certain spot.
"Arizona.. What's going on?" Callie questioned, she had rushed down here expecting to see Arizona sad and upset. But she couldn't decipher her girlfriends emotions right now.
"Almost ten months ago, we stood in this very spot. I had just thrown a cold bucket of water on you're beautiful tanned body." she laughed lightly. "You remember?"
"Yeah, I was laying on my lounger thinking of you, I didn't know what hit me.." she laughed. Callie thought Arizona was just trying to avoid the subject of Tim and the trail, so she went along with her girlfriends little trip down memory lane.
"When you caught me and spun me around, you turned my world upside down from that point forward." She said, looking into deep brown eyes. "Then, you kissed me.." she said, lightly kissing red soft lips. "I knew immediately, I was falling in love with you." she said wrapping her arms around Callie's waist in an embrace.
"You kissed me.." Callie teased hugging Arizona's neck.
"Lets just say we both kissed each other…" Arizona laughed.
"Then, I really didn't know what hit me. I had never felt that kind of connection before." Callie said into Arizona's shoulder as they continued to hug. "And you look magnificent by the way." Callie told her, thinking back to Teddy telling her that Arizona had been gone since lunch. ".. Wait…" she said, wondering why Arizona was dressed for their dinner, if she had rushed here after lunch. She didn't understand, "Wh.. what's going on Arizona, Teddy told me that today is the anniversary of Tim's death and she also told me that the judge has reached the verdict." she said, completely confused to what was going on around her. "She told me she thought you came here.. I was expecting you to be upset.. I-I thought that you needed me.."
Walking Callie under the tree where they had spend many of hours talking about anything and everything. "I always need you, Calliope.. Thank you for coming." She said, with a kiss.
"Are you okay…" she said, brushing Arizona's stray hair behind her ear.
"I will be in a bit.. I'm just.." Arizona breathed. "I don't want to look back and remember this day as a day of sorrow anymore. Tim is gone." she paused. "..and there is nothing I, you or anyone else can do to change that. I want to remember this day as a joyous day."
Furrowing her eyebrows at Arizona, Callie wasn't understanding where she was coming from. How can today be a joyous day? "I don.." she was stopped when Arizona held her hand up. She couldn't fathom why Arizona was acting so different.
Walking a few feet over to the picnic table, Arizona set the timer on the remote she had placed there, before returning back to Callie. Taking her girlfriends hands in hers. "My Calliope.." Arizona said, taking a deep breath. Giving her a dimpled smile. Running her thumbs over the top of Callie's hands. "I love you, you know that right?"
"Yeah? I love you too.." she said, confused. Why was Arizona acting so weird.
"The moment I saw you, I knew you were someone I could easily fall in love with. You held me that night as I cried and told you about Tim. I had never felt such comfort in someone else's arms as I did in yours that night, and every night since then. I was in such a bad place emotionally in my life when I met you, and slowly you pieced me back together again." Arizona said, looking into Callie's eyes.
Just as Arizona paused, thousands of clear twinkling lights that she had hung in the tree came on along with soft melodies of their song 'Kiss Me' by Ed Sheeran playing in the background on repeat. Seeing Arizona bend down, Callie thought at first her girlfriend was falling. Her heart immediately started racing when Arizona looked up at her on bended knee. Gasping, Callie's hands instantly covered her mouth in shock, "Arizona..." She cried, tears instantly streaming down her face.
"Calliope." Arizona's voice began to break, as she looked up into Callie's shocked, tear filled eyes, taking her girlfriends left hand in her left. "I fell in love with you underneath the stars right here at the river all those months ago, and I find it fitting to do this here. I continue to fall more and more in love with you every single day. I know at times we have our differences, and we have had our share of fights and we have been through so much these last few months, but I know that we can weather any storm as long as we're together. I love the way you look at me. I love the way you hold me. I love the way you talk to me. I love the way you get mad at me and go off and pout. I even love the way we fight. I love the way we make up. I love the way you feel in my arms. I love the way you look when you first wake up in the morning. There are so many reasons why I love you. But most of all, I love the way you love me. You're my strength and you're my weakness." She said looking up at a sobbing Callie as their song continued to play in the background. "I know you love it when I say corky phrases, so..." She said, clearing her throat and wiping her own tears away with her free hand. "Calliope, you.. my love, are the peanut to my butter, the water to my ocean, the glaze on my donut, spring in my step, twinkle in my eye, blue in my sky, flip to my flop, milk to my cookie, sweet in my dreams, beat of my heart, cheese to my macaroni, best to my friend, love of my life." She said, as Callie laughed wiping away her tears. "I want you, I want all of you, Calliope always and forever, you and me. I love you with every beat of my heart, baby. And I can't live another day, without knowing..." She said pulling out Callie's grandmothers ring out of her little hiding place between her breasts. Holding it up to Callie between her forefinger and her thumb "...if you'll be my wife. Always and forever?"
Looking down at Arizona through her tears, Callie's mind was reeling from the proposal. She had dreamed of this moment her whole life and now that it was here, it was better than she could have ever expected. She had came here on a whim, thinking Arizona would be upset. The last thing she expected to see was her girlfriend down on bended knee.
"Yes... Arizona...Yes!" She exclaimed excitedly. Tears flowing even more.
Smiling through her own tears, Arizona stood from her kneeling position in front of Callie and slowly slipped the ring on her finger. Kissing red salty lips tenderly yet passionately. Both girls pouring all the love that they shared in that one kiss as their tears mixed together.
Throwing her arms around Arizona's neck, Callie hugged her with all she had. "I love you with all my heart, baby." She whimpered into the back of Arizona's neck, feeling Arizona circle her arms around her waist in a tight embrace.
"I love you too, Calliope." Arizona said, pulling back out of Callie's arms slightly. "We're getting married." Arizona grinned, her dimples on full display.
"We are." Callie said pecking pink lips.
"I have a fiancé." She said with a coy smile.
"Say it again." Callie purred.
"You... Calliope Torres, are my Fiancé.."
"I like the sound of that, my soon to be wife." She hummed.
"Say that again.."
"My wife." Callie said, picking Arizona up and spinning her around similar to the way she had done before.
"Calliope..." Arizona squealed, throwing her head back laughing. Before Callie crashed her lips into hers for a needy kiss. "Mmmm... I love the sound of those words on your lips."
"Come on." Callie said, pulling Arizona closer to the lights. "I need to see this ring in the light." She said standing closer to the lights to see her new ring.
Seeing Callie hold her hand up closer to her face, Arizona saw the questioning look in her eye. Stepping behind her, Arizona placed her chin on Callie's shoulder as she continued to examine the ring.
"It..." Callie started..
"Look familiar?"
"I swear this looks just like my Nana's old ring... You chose very well, baby." Callie said turning around in her girlfriends arms.
"Well, maybe it's because it is Nana's ring." She said, giving Callie a sly smile.
"Wha.. wait.. what? How did you.."
"Calliope, no one can resist the Robbins charm, you of all people should know that." She laughed, kissing Callie's forehead as she stared at her ring.
"When did she give this to you?"
"Right after we moved into the house. When she came with your parents to visit. I went in the house to get us some drinks and she came in and we had a nice long talk." She shrugged. "She told me about how you have always loved this ring and she wanted us to have it." She said, seeing new tears fall down Caramel cheeks.
"I don't even know what to say right now." Callie said, with so much emotion in her voice. Hugging Arizona around the neck again. "You have made me so very happy." She sniffed.
"You have made me out of my mind, unbelievably happy, baby." She said wrapping her arms around Callie's waist.
"I can't believe you did this." Callie said, finally talking a look around at what Arizona had done. Lights hung in the tree limbs, an old wooden heart hung on a nail on the tree with blinking lights shaped in the Letters A & C., a home Iphone speaker playing their song, Flower pedals sprawled out on the ground all along the grass.
"Wait right there.." Arizona said walking out of the lighted area, Callie could barely see her white dress moving around in the dark, "She said yesssss guys..." Arizona yelled like a little kid. The next thing Callie knew two little rambunctious pups came running towards their Mami.
"Wh.. Where did these guys come from?" Callie said, happy to see their puppies. "I can't believe you brought the boys." she said bending to pet them. "Hey my babies.. Did you guys help mama plan this?"
"Well, I wasn't at first. But then I thought about it and couldn't not bring them and show them where we first met. They were such a good help today too, lets see. They tried to eat the lights when I was putting them up and then they tried to play with the flames of the fire when I lit it. Umm.. What else..." she laughed.
"Arizona.." Callie said in awe, looking lovingly at her new fiancé. "I can't believe you did this for me." She said, looking like she was about to cry again. No one had ever made her feel as special as Arizona did every single day.
"I would do anything for you, Calliope." She whispered. "And tonight is not over with yet." she said walking over to the iPhone dock and changing the song. "Now, Milady." She said holding out her hand for Callie to accept. "Can I have this dance?" she asked, as 'Lady In Red' by Chris De Burgh, started playing through the speakers.
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
Arizona wrapped her arms around Callie's waist as Callie draped her arms over her shoulders. They held each other close as their bodies began to sway with the music.
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes, I have been blind
Arizona wanted to take in every breath, every feel, every emotion, every second of this dance, of this whole night. Closing her eyes tight as they swayed to the music she embedded this moment into her memory. Pulling back slightly she gazed at red lips then up to wet brown yes. "I've never imagined love could ever feel this good."
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be but I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
"You know, I just keep thinking, I would have never thought someone like you could love me." Callie said as they continued to dance. "You're the last thing my heart expected. I never thought I'd ever find someone who makes me feel like this." she said, nestling Arizona's nose with hers. "I am so so deeply in love with you, baby."she said, with a soft slow kiss to pink lips.
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
The kiss turned more needed, Callie glided her tongue over Arizona's bottom lip seeking access. The world around them ceased to exist in that moment of pure passion and love. "The greatest thing that has ever happened to me was finding you." Callie said breaking the kiss slowly.
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
Nestling her cheek into Callie's, Arizona began twirling them around. The pair couldn't stop giggling when Arizona almost dropped Callie when she tried to dip her. Getting their laughs under control, Arizona quietly sang the rest of the song in her fiancés ear.
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be but I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red, the lady in red
The lady in red, my lady in red
I love you
"Tu eres muy hermosa, Arizona." (You are very beautiful, Arizona.) Callie said in Spanish as the song stopped.
Arizona had been with her enough to understand Callie's little spanish sayings. "You are too, baby... So breathtaking." She said with a kiss. "Come on, I have a few more surprises." She said looking for the dogs, seeing they were cuddled up by the fire asleep. Taking Callie's arm, Arizona led her to a blanket with candles surrounding, in the shape of a heart.
"How did I not see this." Callie said smiling.
"You were just blinded by my beauty." Arizona joked. "I thought maybe we could recreate old memories. Would you like to watch the stars with me? I have a few extra blankets, so we could snuggle and Star gaze?"
"Is there ever any question? Of course I want to lay and snuggle with you under the stars, baby." Callie said sitting on the blanket. Pulling Arizona down with her. "I can't even express into words how I feel right now. No one has ever showed me so much love, thank you, honey." She said scooting close.
"Well, I'm not, no one baby. I'm your Arizona." She purred, laying down on the blanket. "Hand me that cover beside you, I'm a little chilly." She said as a shiver went through her body.
Throwing the blanket over to Arizona's side, "I know a little something that could warm you up." Callie said, laying halfway on Arizona.
"Oh yeah?"
"Umhmm.." Callie hummed, crashing her lips to her fiancés.
"We... we don't have long, we... need to be at the restaurant by... nine." Arizona moaned returning the kiss.
"Ooo... So we really do have reservations?" Callie asked, pulling back.
"Mhmm... Now kiss me..."
"Oh, this won't take long, I promise," Callie said, pulling up her dress some so she could straddle her.
"Calliope." Arizona scolded, when she looked to see Callie straddling her.
"What? You told me to use my best judgment." She laughed, seeing Arizona stare at her naked center. "Eyes up top, Robbins." She chuckled as she bent down to capture Arizona's lips. "I love you."
"I.. Love.. You too." Arizona said between kisses. Running her hands slowly and sensually up Callie's thighs until she came in contact with Callie's heat. "Ooh, my.."
"I told you." Callie purred when she felt Arizona skim her index finger over her folds. "This won't take long... Lift." She said, pulling Arizona's dress up to her waist. "Ooooh.. Well.. Looks like I'm not the only dirty girl hmm..." Callie purred.
"You're not the only one that likes to be ready, Calliope, now come back here." She said reaching for her fiancé, pulling her back down on top of her. "I want you." She purred in Callie's ear.
"Yo siempre quiero que." (I always want you.) she said, kissing down Arizona's neck. "Yo nunca puedo tener suficiente de ti." (I can never get enough of you.)
"Oh god." Arizona groaned. Hearing Callie talk in Spanish was driving her wild. Needing some contact, she thrusted her hips into Callie's. Cupping Callie's butt, Arizona pushed it down onto her causing their centers to grind on each other. "Mmm.. you feel amazing, Calliope." She moaned.
Kissing under Arizona's chin, Callie continued to grind down on her fiancé. "lo hace para, mi prometido" (You do to, my fiancé.)
"Oh god, harder, baby." She said, as Callie rubbed her clit onto hers. Propping herself up on her hands on both sides of Arizona, Callie continued to grind on her. Looking deep into blue eyes, she drowned herself in them. She felt like this time was different than all the hundreds of times before when they made love. This connection was deeper, more intensity more passionate. She seen her whole life in those blue eyes. A wedding, babies, a tree house, first birthdays, first everything's.
"Can you?" Callie asked breathlessly a few minutes later.
"Yes." Arizona panted, as Callie brought her closer to ecstasy. "I love you."
"Me too.. Me... too.. Mmm.. Are you close?"
"Mmhmm... So close." Arizona whispered just as she brought her hips up to meet with Callie's. "Oooh..." She moaned, feeling her whole body stiffen her climax hit her unexpectedly at full force.
Seeing Arizona come undone sent Callie over the edge with her. "Oooh god." She breathed, feeling her body stiffen on top of Arizona's, before collapsing on her fiancé, breathless.
Laying on top of Arizona, Callie tried to get her breathing under control. No words were really needed, as they felt a shift in their relationship change at that moment. "I..."
"I know..." Arizona husked. As she felt Callie's body slumped beside her. Her world still spinning on it's axis.
"This is perfect.." Callie said laying next to Arizona after a few minutes of basking in their bliss. Grabbing the cover next to her fiancé, she draped it over their heated bodies. "I couldn't have asked for a better proposal. You are something else, you know that?" She said, snuggling up close to Arizona's side.
"Everything I do, I do for you. You are the one that makes me a better person, Calliope." She purred.
"Me too.."
"You know, I had you feeding right out of my hands right?" Arizona asked.
"I did?"
"Mhmm.."
"We never really had early reservations, did we?" Callie asked.
"Nope, they were always at nine."
"So.." Callie said propping herself up her elbow. "This is why Teddy was a fumbling mess this evening?
"Yeah," Arizona laughed. "She called me right after you left the clinic to come here. She had just got back into the office from helping me when you walked in."
"Wait.. so, the verdict.."
"No.. no... The judge reached a verdict, I'm sorry I kept that from you most of the day, but it would have ruined my plans."
"And Tim?"
"Yeah." She said quietly, looking up at the stars.
"Are you okay?" Callie asked, looking down to Arizona, brushing her knuckles over her cheek.
"Umhum.. I.." Arizona breathed, trying to find the right words. "I am okay. Of course I miss him, especially today." She said, turning her head to Callie and giving her a small smile, rolling over on her right side, laying her head on her hands.
Laying back down, Callie mirrored Arizona's position. "It's okay to cry, baby." She said, seeing Arizona fighting to keep her emotions in.
Breathing deeply, "It's suppose to be a happy time for us, I don't want to ruin it by crying." Arizona said.
Scooting closer to Arizona, Callie placed a light kiss on her temple. "Nothing can ruin this night for us." Placing her forehead on the spot she just kissed. "Ever."
"I wish he was here." Arizona said, taking Callie's hand placing a soft kiss on top before laying it with hers under her head. "I wish he knew that we found each other here. That he could see how unbelievably happy I am." She said as a tear slipped from her blue eyes.
"Me too, I wish we had stayed in touch. I miss him."
"He talked about you all a lot after daddy had to leave to go overseas and we stopped coming camping. Even up until he died, he would mention 'the gang' from time to time."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Every time summer rolled around, he would talk about you guys, he really missed you."
"I wonder what he'd say about us being together." Callie said, looking at her ring.
"Oh, he'd be so jealous."
"Why's that?" Callie chuckled.
"Because, I have the most beautiful girl in the world." She said, running her index finger along Callie's jaw line.
"Not true. Because I hold that title. You are the most stunning, thoughtful women that has ever walked the face of this earth." Leaning up above Arizona on her elbow, "I couldn't have planned a better proposal, baby. This was the absolute last thing I ever expected right now." Callie said, kissing soft pink lips. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Arizona said, noticing the time on the iPhone home station. "Come on. We need to get back to town. We need to drop the boys off at home and make our dinner plans." She said getting up from her spot and straightening her dress, pressing the creases out.
"What about all this stuff?" Callie asked, pulling her dress down. She was still amazed at all the trouble Arizona had went through.
"Don't worry.. Teddy's going to come and get it with my jeep later."
"Where's your car?"
"In the garage at home. I had the jeep packed with this stuff, that's why I suggested to drive my car this morning to work." She laughed. "I had Teds come here with me and I had her drive it back home."
"What would you have done if I didn't show up?"
"Calliope, you always come find me. There was never any question. You're always there when I need you." She said waking the sleeping dogs. "Come on babies, let's take you home." She growled at them before placing the pups in the car.
"Wait.. I'm surprised my dad didn't call and tell me about the Verdict." She thought out loud.
"Oh. I called him and told him I wanted to tell you. I knew if he'd call you, you would come down stairs looking for me and I would be MIA. And I couldn't have you coming here before I was ready for you." She said laying a kiss on her future wife. "Thank you, Calliope." She said wrapping her arms around Callie's neck.
"For what?"
"For making my life complete."
There you have it. You've been waiting patiently for it, I hope you liked it.
Everyone wanted Callie to propose, but I felt Arizona should. Callie took the first big step in their relationship and bought them a house, so I figured Arizona should take the next step.
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one.
I used Google translation. I hope it's correct. :)
