Chapter 30
"Will you drive?" Callie asked Arizona as she embraced her. "I don't think I can keep my eyes off my ring."
"Yes, but you gotta hold the boys. I didn't bring their traveling carriers because it wouldn't fit in your car." She said walking to the passengers side door. "Milady." Arizona bowed as she opened the door for Callie to get in.
Laughing at Arizona's cuteness, she placed a kiss on her cheek and sat down in the passengers seat of her car. Closing the car door, Arizona bent down for a quick kiss on red lips. Before making her way to the drivers side. Buckling up and putting the car in drive, she grabbed Callie's left hand kissing the top, "Lets go celebrate." She said as they drove down the dirt road. Never braking contact the whole way home.
"Where is our reservations at?" Callie asked, as Arizona drove down the streets of Seattle after dropping the dogs off at home.
"La Spiga. I rented us the private room." She said, reaching for Callie's hand.
"Their private dinning room? You have to book that months in advance." She said.
"I know." Arizona winked.
"You've had this planned that long?"
"I have." She said bringing their laced hands up to her lips to kiss the top of Callie's hand. "I told you, I wanted to look back and remember this day as a happy day."
"Arizona..." Callie breathed. She was just in complete awe of this women. "I love you."
"I love you too." She said pulling up to the restaurant. Putting the car in park, she hurried out and went around to open the door for Callie to exit. "Dinner awaits." Arizona said, holding her arm out for Callie to wrap hers around.
Walking into the restaurant, "Robbins," Arizona said to the hostess.
"Ahh yes, Miss. Robbins. Right this way please." He said as he lead them back to the private dinning area.
"Soon to be Mrs." Arizona whispered in Callie's ear.
Opening the door to the dark room, the man quickly entered and turned on the light switch just as the girls were about to enter the doors.
"CONGRADULATIONS." Came from the large group of people inside the room, Callie's eyes were wide in shock, gasping when she saw Arizona's parents and all of their friends dresses to kill all in the room.
"Arizona..." She said looking at her fiancé. "You did all this?" She said hugging her future wife.
"Yeah, with Teddy's help." She said with her arms wrapped around Callie's waist. "I told her that I wanted everyone here tonight to share this with us. So she made it happen. I wanted today to be memorable."
"I can't believe everyone kept quiet." Callie said into Arizona's neck. As the waiter came and took everyone's order as they all mingled around the room.
"Well, they didn't know until Teddy called and invited them this evening. You really think I'd ruin my proposal by telling these loud mouths." Arizona laughed. "The only people who knew were Teddy and my parents."
"Thank you." She said kissing her lips.
"Okay.. okay... You two have had enough alone time for a while, now come here and let us see that ring." Addison said, excitedly hugging her best friend. "Congrats, Cal." She said looking at the ring. "It's beautiful. She chose well." she said as Arizona went to mingle with their guests.
"It was my grandmothers actually, she gave it to Arizona a while back." Callie said, all smiles.
"I'm so happy for you." Addison said.
"Thanks, Addie." Callie said, hugging her friend. "It feels so surreal, ya know. I've waited my whole life for someone like Arizona and now that I've found her.. I.. I just can't explain it." She breathed, searching the room for those blue eyes she's addicted too.
Looking up, Arizona felt Callie's eyes on her. Searching, she finds brown eyes and a breathtaking smile looking her way. Sending a wink, Callie went back to talking with Addison, Bailey, Meredith and Cristina as they both looked at her ring.
"She looks happy." Daniel said, when him and his wife walked up to his daughter.
"Yeah." Arizona breathed. Hugging her father, but not wanting to take her eyes of Callie.
"Congratulations, bug." he said pulling back out of the embrace and planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Thanks, daddy." Her smile didn't quiet meet her eyes, and he know why. He could always read his daughters emotions.
"Well tell me, honey. How did everything go? Was she surprised?" Barbara asked, all smiles. Grabbing her daughters hands in hers and leading them to a seat beside Teddy.
"Yes, she was. It was perfect Mama, everything was perfect." she said looking over to Callie yet again, she couldn't keep her eyes off her.
"So, tell us. How romantic was it?" Teddy butted in, sipping her wine.
"Awe.." Arizona said, with a starry eyed look. "It was amazing Teds." She said, taking a sip of her wine. "I honestly don't think she knew I was proposing until I got down on one knee." she smiled, remembering Callie's face when she realized what was going on.
"You got down on one knee and proposed? Arizona Robbins proposed.. on one knee?" Teddy laughed as Barbara wiped a tear from her eye as she heard her daughter gush about the proposal. Arizona had never been the type to go all out on things like she has for Callie. "What has happened to you?"
"I know, right?" she laughed. "I've never been with anyone that makes me want to pull out all the stops until Callie. She brings out the romantic side of me without even trying." she said as Henry stepped up to congratulate her.
"Congratulations, Arizona. We're happy for you." He said, placing his hands on Teddy's shoulders.
"Thanks, Henry. I'm happy for me too." she said, jokingly. Tapping her fingers on her glass nervously, Arizona couldn't stop scanning the room like she was looking for someone who wasn't there.
"You alright, Zo?" Teddy leaned in a whispered, when she seen Arizona nervously fidgeting.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Arizona said, giving Teddy a small smile. "I'm just still a little high from the proposal, that's all." she said, standing from her seat.
"Arizona.." Teddy said, seeing her friend gears turning in her head.
"I said I'm fine, Teddy." Arizona said Snapped. "I.. I just.. I need some fresh air. I'll be back." she said, leaving the room quickly.
Teddy looked towards Barbara, both giving each other a knowing look. "I got it." Barbara said, looking over to Callie who was the center of attention at the moment with her friends all around her talking. Standing from her seat and following her daughter out of the private dinning room. Seeing the bathroom door close near the exit of the restaurant, Barbara made her way inside. Walking up to the closed bathroom stall door, she heard a few sniffs coming from behind the door. "Zona, honey." Barbara said, knocking lightly. "What's wrong sweetie?"
Hearing someone enter the bathroom, Arizona held her tears at bay the best she could. She didn't know why but she found herself looking around the room several times expecting to see her brother. "Nothing Mama, I just needed to use the restroom." she said wiping her face with some toilet paper and flushing the commode.
"Arizona Robbins, I know you better than that. Now, come out here missy and tell me what's on your mind." Barbara demanded. Seeing her daughter open the door and stepping out with red rimmed eyes. "What's wrong, Arizona?" she questioned. "Is it Callie?"
"No, Mama. It's not Callie."
"Do you want me to go get her?"
"No, I.. I don't want her to see me like this. Today is a happy day for her and I don't want to ruin the mood."
"It should be a happy day for you too."
"It is."
"Well. I'm not a mind reader, honey. Are you going to talk to me or are you just going to clam up?" She knew sometimes her daughter needed a little push to open up.
Sighing. "I just.. I keep finding myself looking around the room for Tim. I've caught myself a few times already. I just keep expecting him to bust through the doors and scoop me up in a big hug. I've just always pictured this differently I guess." She said as tears formed in her eyes. "I figured when this day came, I'd be having to beat him away from Callie. If he was here I know he would be all over her, just to piss me off. And I miss him, Mama." she said to her mother as Barbara wrapped her arms around her daughter. Tears were now trickling down both faces. "Tim and I have always talked about getting married. We always joked that he would be the best man in my wedding and I was going to be the best woman in his and he's not here Mama. He's not here to share this with me like he promised." she cried into her mothers shoulder. "And seeing Calliope so happy across the room got me thinking about what our future will look like. You know Tim and I had always said we would get married and live across from each other and I'd be the cool aunt Zona. I'll never get to be that person Mom. And when Callie and I eventually have kids some day, he wont be there. He would be over the moon excited just hearing me talk about having kids. He knew I never wanted them before. And now that I do, he's not here. He wont get to be the amazing uncle he could have been. My kids will never know their uncle. He will just be some stranger they will see in pictures with their mom." she sobbed, letting everything inside of her go.
"Oh, Zona." Barbara said, "He knows, honey. And he was right beside you at the river when you proposed to Callie. He's always with you Zona." she said rubbing her daughters back. "He wont be some stranger to your kids. Your father and I, Callie and yourself will share stories about him with your children and you'll tell them what a good man and brother he was. And he'll be their superhero uncle Tim who gave his life for their mother." Just as she was trying to sooth her daughter down, the bathroom door opened and in stepped Callie.
"Ohh.. I'm…" she said, not paying any attention to the people in the corner at first. Then meeting Barbara's eyes, she seen Arizona's head on her mothers shoulder and her body shaking. As Callie walked up to them, Barbara pulled out of Arizona's arms and passed her off to her fiancé's waiting arms.
"Shh.." Callie soothed, as Arizona continued to cry, her head buried in her chest. Hearing Barbara lock the door on her way out, "It's going to be okay, honey." she said, knowing the reason for her fiancé's breakdown. She had expected this to happen at some point in the night. "I got you, baby." Callie whispered, swaying their bodies. "Just let it out, babe." she said kissing the top of Arizona's head. "It's okay to miss him."
After a few more minutes, Arizona's tears began to subside. "I'm s.. sorry." she hiccupped into Callie's chest.
"Don't." She said, she didn't want her apologizing. "I don't want you to hide how you are feeling from me." Feeling Arizona nod into her chest.
"I just didn't want to ruin the mood. I've had my mind occupied these past few weeks with the proposal and now that it's over, I was just on such a high from the excitement and then the actual proposal, that I didn't let my mind go there. And then I saw you across the room looking so happy and.. and seeing all the people I love in one room celebrating with us. I kept looking around the room for him, unconsciously. It just made me miss him more, he should be here, Callie. He should be here.. But... he's dead." Arizona sobbed loudly.
Callie had never seen Arizona so upset. She thought eventually, everything that had happened in the past few months would catch up with her fiancé sooner or later. And seeing her breakdown like this broke Callie's heart. "I'm here for you, Arizona." She didn't have any other words, all she could do was hold on tight to her girl and cry with her. "Look at me." Callie said, loosening her arms around Arizona, a few minutes later. Seeing Arizona pull back, but avoid her gaze, "Look at me." She said lifting Arizona's chin up to meet her eyes. "When you are sad, I'm sad. When you hurt, I'm hurt. It's okay to be sad, Arizona." she whispered, "We've had some hard times since the attack huh."
"Yeah." She sighed.
"But it's almost over, and this time tomorrow... We'll be able to put all this behind us, and we can start planning our forever." She gave her a sad smile. "What do you think?" She asked, kissing her on the nose.
Nodding her head, "Best thing I've heard in months." Arizona said giving her a soft smile back. "Well, besides 'Yes.. Arizona, yes!" Referring to her proposal.
"Are you going to be okay?" Callie asked wiping her tears away with her thumbs.
"Yeah. I feel better just getting it all out. Thank you, Calliope." She said, turning around to the mirror as she started refreshening herself back up in front of the mirror.
"You're welcome, sweetie." Callie said walking up behind Arizona and placing her hands on her hips and laying a kiss on her bare shoulder. "Love you."
"Love you, too." She said turning around and kissing red lips softly. "Lets get back, dinner should be about ready. I'm starved." She said taking Callie's hand.
"What do you say we take a trip to Miami after the verdict?" Callie asked, walking back to their reserved room. "I'd love to tell my family about our engagement in person. We could go Sunday and stay a few days? I could show you around, you would love it there. We could just get away from everything here for a while. Spend a whole day drinking margaritas or whatever on the beach and… sunbathing." She purred the last part. "I mean, I know it's terrible of us to push things off on everyone else at the office, but I don't have any surgeries scheduled for next week and we really deserve thi..."
She was interrupted by Arizona. "Callie.. You're rambling." She giggled. "And I thought I was bad for that." She bumped her with her hip. "I say yes. Let's go to Miami."
"Really?" Callie asked with a big smile, opening the door to the private dinning room.
"Really, we need this. We deserve this." Arizona said, entering the room as dinner was starting to be served.
"Awesome." She said stealing a kiss before they sat down for dinner. Shaking her head at her use of words, a year ago she would have never used words like awesome and amazing. "You have rubbed off too much on me." she laughed as everyone took their seats.
"You like it."
"Mmm.. maybe." she winked.
Arizona and Callie were seated in the middle of the table surrounded by their friends, ready to enjoy their meal. Standing from her seat, Callie picked up her wine glass. "I'd like to say a little something before we dig in." She said taking Arizona's hand in her left. "I never wanted someone who promises me the moon and stars." She said looking down to Arizona. "I've always wanted someone who promises to lay in the grass and watch them with me. Arizona does just that. I love you, baby. Not only for what you are, but for who I am when I'm with you. Thank you for loving me the way you do. I couldn't ask for anyone better." She said placing a gentle kiss on pink smiling lips. "…and I'd like to thank each and every single one of you for coming and celebrating with us tonight. We love you. And with that," she said pausing. "..I'd like to dedicate this night to Tim." She said squeezing Arizona's hand. "He may not be here in person, but I know he's here in spirit." Callie said holding up her glass.
"To Tim." Everyone said, in unison and toasted their glasses.
"That was so sweet." Barbara said, wiping her eyes as the group began to enjoy their meal.
"Thank you." Arizona whispered in Callie's ear.
"You're welcome, baby." She said with a quick kiss.
"Hurry." Arizona husked when she had Callie's back pressed against their front door of their home. Her lips were making their way down Callie's neck. Callie had only managed to slip the key in the door before her fiancé slammed her roughly against the it, devouring her neck. Reaching behind herself, Callie unsuccessfully tried to turn the key.
"Fuck.."
Reaching behind Callie, Arizona turned the key in the lock and pushed open their front door. Her lips never leaving caramel skin. "Bedroom. Now." she breathed on her fiancés neck, before crashing their lips together again. Hands flying every which way trying to remove jackets and heels as they accidentally crashed into the back of the couch causing both to topple over the cream colored sofa and spilling onto the floor. "Oops.."
"Oww.." Callie yelped as her back hit the corner of the coffee table. "I'm okay.." She quickly said, popping off the floor. Reconnecting their lips, she giggling into Arizona's mouth. Helping her stand as they continued to devour each others faces. "You're such a wild beast when you're horny." she said as she pushed Arizona into the wall of their living room, knocking a picture off the wall.
"Me?" Arizona breathed in between kisses. "Mmm.. and who are you.. Mother Teresa?" she laughed.
"Your sex slave." she giggled into her neck. "Now, I want you in bed." She said, pulling Arizona from the wall and down the hall and up the stairway that lead to their bedroom. Making out all the way to their room, Arizona quickly disrobed Callie, before doing the same to herself. "Eager are we." Callie purred as Arizona quickly jumped on the brunette in bed.
"Mhmm. I want you so bad." she said, kissing down Callie's jaw line, before licking back up to her ear. "You were so sexy in that dress, Calliope." she purred. "I wanted to rip it off you as soon as you stepped out of your car this evening." she said, kissing down to Callie's pulse point.
"Mmm.. Fuck.." Callie groaned as Arizona explored every inch of her neck. Running her fingers through golden locks when Arizona began kissing her chest. Gathering up the tresses of hair, Callie moved the hair out the way so she could watch Arizona worship her writhing body. Brown eyes locking with blue, watching as Arizona slowly ran her tongue over her left nipple, causing her to moan at the amazing feel. "Mmm.. you're so good at that." she mumbled.
Running her thumb lightly over Callie's other breast, while she continued to tease the other with her mouth. Blue eyes never leaving brown, as she began her trek down the caramel skinned body until she was met with brown curls. "Do you know how gorgeous you are, Calliope." she husked as she began to lightly kiss her way down to where Callie needed her most. "And now. I get the honor. Of calling. You. My. Future. Wife." she purred between light kisses on her fiancés throbbing clit.
"Oh god.. baby.." Callie moaned at the feel of her girls sweet lips on her center. "Mmm.." she groaned, fisting the sheets beside her hot body.
Licking up the crease of Callie's thigh, she repeated the process on the other side before she kissed her way back to the brunettes center. Slowly, she ran her tongue up through wet folds, eliciting a loud moan from the body underneath her. "You like that?"
"Yes… yes.. God yes.." Callie said, running her fingers over Arizona's scalp before grabbing a hand full of blonde hair. "So good baby… Ahh…" she whimpered as she felt Arizona suck her clit between her teeth. "Fuck, Arizona."
"You taste so good, baby." Arizona said propping herself up on her elbows, running her middle finger through Callie's wet folds before licking the arousal from her finger. She wanted Callie to taste her favorite dessert so she ran her finger though again, and brought it up to Callie's mouth. "See.." Running her wet finger over her fiancés panting lips. "So sweet." she said as slipped her finger into Callie's mouth.
"You are so dirty sometimes." Callie laughed, accepting Arizona's finger and sucking it in her mouth. Licking her finger clean, Callie then laced their hands together resting it on her bare stomach as Arizona continued to worship her body. "Mmm.." She moaned as Arizona's tongue swirled around her opening. "Stop teasing me.."
"But. It's. So. Fun. Calliope." Arizona said between swipes of her tongue through wet folds.
"Please baby." She begged.
Taking her free hand, she ran her fingers through Callie's arousal before slowly entering her fiancé as she circled her tongue around Callie's throbbing clit.
"Oh, Jesus.. Arizona." Callie groaned. "I.. Umm.. So good, baby." She mumbled as Arizona worked in her center. "Don't stop.. So close." She said fisting Arizona's hair with her free hand.
Thrusting into Callie, Arizona quickened her pace. Every few thrusts she curled her fingers inside her fiancé causing loud moans to escape beautiful red lips. Soon, she felt her walls begin to constrict, signaling Callie's nearing release. Latching onto Callie's bundle of nerves, she curled her fingers, hitting her sweet spot.
Feeling Arizona curl her fingers inside of her, throw Callie right over the edge. "Ari...zo...na..." Callie yelled, arching her back off the bed. Her body stiffening as Arizona continued to lap up every ounce of pleasure flowing from her. Falling back on the bed, Callie tried to catch her breath as her body twitched from her release.
Making her way slowly back up Callie's body, Arizona rested on top of her. Sitting her chin on her crossed arms that laid on the brunettes heaving chest, she grinned at her fiancé. "That never gets old." She smiled.
Looking down at Arizona's face, "Mmm I thi..." Seeing her fiancés face, she threw her head back on the pillow. "Again?" She groaned, when she saw Arizona's face was all wet.
"Mhmm.." Arizona giggled.
"It's so embarrassing." She whispered, covering her eyes with her arm.
"Calliope. It's not.." She said, pulling Callie's arm off her face. Straddling Callie's waist, Arizona hovered about her. "It's hot, like really really hot. And it also means I know how to please my women." She kissed red lips.
"You're awfully proud of yourself aren't you." Callie said, pulling Arizona in for a heated kiss, moaning when she tasted herself on Arizona's tongue. "Have you ever done it?" She asked when she breathlessly pulled back to fill her lungs with oxygen.
"Um. Nope." She shook her head, making blonde locks tickle Callie's face, pecking red lips again.
"Oh so basically, what you're saying is I don't know how to please you?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You don't do it every time. Does that mean I don't please you all the time?"
"No."
"Alright. You know exactly how to please me, baby... What I'm saying is, not all people know how to make a women... You know." She shrugged.
"Oh, it's 'you know' now.. Huh.."
"What I'm saying is.. I'm not sure that I can do it. I've never before, not all women can.. You know." She laughed.
"Well, I've never before until you, so teach me."
"What?"
"You said, not all people know how to make a women 'you know'." she laughed using her fingers as quotation marks teasing Arizona. "So teach me?"
"Right now?" She questioned. She was still on edge from making love to her new fiancé and she really needed Callie right now and there's no way she could teach anything at the moment.
"Well, no. Right now all I want to do is make love to my fiancé, and if I can make her feel half as good as she just made me feel.. well it will be pretty fucking amazing." She said, flipping positions before Arizona's brain even registered.
"Well, by all means." Arizona said, spreading herself out on the bed. "She's all yours, baby." She purred. "But.." She said, grabbing Callie's arms, stopping her from traveling down her body. "I want you up here.. I want you to 'kiss me like you want to be loved'." she said emphasizing the words to their song. Nestling her nose into her fiancés.
"Wait right here." Callie said, jumping from the bed. She searched for Arizona's phone, quickly placed it in the iHome speaker on their dresser and starting their song, 'Kiss me', before going back to bed, to worship her woman. "Now, where were we?" she chuckled. Laying on the side of Arizona. Throwing her left leg over Arizona's left, she spread her legs further apart. "I love you." she whispered, leaning in to kiss Arizona like her life dependent on it.
Tracing circles all over Arizona's body with her fingertips, Callie's hand sensually made her way further down her lovers body, while still kissing Arizona passionately. Slowly roaming her hand down past Arizona hip bone, she stopped fondled blonde curls.
"Te Amo, Calliope." Arizona panted, as she felt Callie, rub her palm over her mound. "Mmm…"
"Te Amo, Mi Amor." Callie purred as she ran her tongue up Arizona's jaw line and back down under her ear, landing on her favorite sweet spot on Arizona's neck and sucking gently. Inching her fingers down to Arizona's wet center, she slowly circled her clit, eliciting a loud moan from her aroused fiancé.
"Oh, God.." she said, closing her eyes and rolling her head to the side as Callie continued to worship her neck. "Calli.. I'm.. so close.. Please.." she panted as Callie ran her fingers through her slick folds. "Mmm.." she said before she captured Callie's lips in a searing hard kiss.
She slowly entered Arizona, with one finger at first. Letting her get used to the feel before she slowly entered her with another. "So wet." Callie whispered when Arizona leaned her forehead on her face.
Trying to fight off the climax that was building higher and higher in her body, but she couldn't keep it at bay, Arizona was about to explode. Her leg muscles began to tense up, her body starting the writhe with impending ecstasy. "Oh.. Yes.. Callie.."
"Tú eres el amor de mi vida, Ariozna." (You are the love of my life), Callie whispered when she felt Arizona's walls start to tighten. "Estoy tan profundamente enamorado de ti, (I am so deeply in love with you.) "Me encanta ver que se deshacen como este. Sabiendo que causé esto." (I love watching you come undone like this. Knowing I caused this.) "Es tan caliente, bebé." (It's so hot, baby.) "Come for me, Amor.."
"Oooh." At Callie's words, Arizona felt her orgasm explode, "Calliopeeee." grabbing Callie's face, she roughly kissed the life out of her fiancé as her body began to jerk with pleasure. Throwing her head back, she basked in the feel of heaven. Callie continued to gently circle Arizona's clit, as she slowly brought her back down from her high.
"Hi.." Callie smiled when Arizona finally peeked an eye open.
"Hi." she said trying to catch her breath. Rolling onto her left side, cuddling into the warm caramel skinned body.
"Mmm.." Arizona unconsciously moaned. Both times they had made love tonight, they both felt it was different, better if that was even possible.
"Good?" Callie lightly laughed.
"Oh god.. Life affirming." She whispered into Callie's chest. Feeling sleep start to take over her drained body.
"Get some sleep, babe. We have another big day tomorrow." Callie sighed, pulling the cover up over them. "I hope when I wake up in the morning, I don't find this all a dream." she said into blonde hair.
"Owww…" Callie yelped, feeling Arizona bite down on her boob.
"Nope.. Not a dream." Arizona giggled. "Night, Calliope." she said, laying a kiss on the spot she just bit.
"Goodnight love."
"Arizona, lets go…" Callie yelled out their French doors. "Quit playing with the boys and lets get a move on. We have 10 minutes to make it to the courthouse." She said, huffing at her procrastinating fiancé. She felt bad just as much as Arizona about leaving the dogs outside last night in their sex filled state, but they had to get a move on. "Just because it's Saturday doesn't mean no traffic."
"I'm coming, Callie." She yelled, locking the dog pin and making her way into the house to grab her purse.
"That's also what you said last night." She laughed.
"Keep your panties on Calliope." she said, pinching Callie's bottom before walking out the front door to the Callie's car.
"Mama called this morning while you were showering. She wants everyone to come over for dinner this evening. I told her we'd be there. I hope you don't mind." Arizona said, holding Callie's hand in her lap, staring out her window as Callie drove them down the streets of Seattle.
"No, of course not. I kind of figured you might want to spend some time with them after everything. But we do need to pack for Miami before dinner." She said giving Arizona's hand a squeeze. "You okay?"
"Yeah." She said looking over to Callie. "I'm okay." She gave her a small smile.
Pulling into the parking lot, they saw Barbara and Daniel waiting on them, along with some of their friends.
"You ready?" Callie asked when she parked the car.
"Ready as I'll ever be." She said, letting out a huge breath that she didn't know she was holding. Getting out of the car they greeted everyone before making their way into the courtroom. Luckily for them, Dave Conley was already seated when they entered. Arizona felt cold chills rush over her body just at the thought of being in the same room with that man again. Taking a seat on the bench, Callie was to her right, her parents were on her left and their friends sat back on the bench behind them. How long does a verdict reading take?" She whispered in Callie's ear.
"Not long at all, usually. The judge comes in, reads the verdict and hands over the sentencing if he's foun.."
"All rise." She was cut off, as the judge came into the room.
"You may be seated." The judge said taking his seat. "I'm sorry for delaying the verdict. But a family emergency pulled me away yesterday." He said to the defense and prosecution. "Are all parties here?" He asked the bailiff.
"Yes, your honor."
"Great, I'm going to get right to it. I have reviewed all the files methodically. I've read and reread the evidence and testimonies and have came to a verdict. I want to be clear, I didn't take this case lightly." He said to the lawyers.
Wrapping her arms around Arizona's shoulder, Callie pulled her closer.
"Can I have the verdict papers from the court recorder, please." The judge asked. "Thank you." He said when the bailiff handed him the files. Opening the file, he goes through each paper before he began reading the verdict.
Feeling Arizona's body start to tremble, Callie kissed her on the forehead and gave her a reassuring smile. "You alright?"
"Yeah." She whispered as the judge began to read his findings.
"I, Judge Curtis Warren, find the defendant Dave Conley, guilty of 2 counts of attempted rape on Dr. Arizona Robbins and Dr. Callie Torres." He said, laying the first paper down and moving to the next.
Hearing the judge read the first verdict, Arizona grabbed onto Callie with free hand.
"I, Judge Curtis Warren, find the defendant Dave Conley guilty of 1 account of aggravated assault on Dr. Callie Torres."
Feeling a few tears slip out of her eyes, Callie held on tight to her fiancé as the judge continued with his readings.
"I, Judge Curtis Warren, find the defendant Dave Conley guilty on 2 counts of aggravated assault with intent to kill on Timothy Aaron Robbins, and Dr. Arizona Robbins."
With tears flowing down both faces, Arizona laid her head on Callie's shoulder as she felt Teddy place her hand on her shoulder. Reaching her left hand up to lay atop of Teddy's, Arizona and Callie both took a deep breath as they heard the final verdict.
"I, Judge Curtis Warren, find the defendant Dave Conley, guilty on the First Degree Murder of Timothy Aaron Robbins." He said, placing the files back in the folder and setting them aside.
An audible sigh was heard all through the courtroom. Barbara and Daniel embraced as both girls let out a loud sob, collapsing into each others arms. Mark placed a comforting hand on Callie's shoulder as she and Arizona embraced in a hug. "It's over." Callie whimpered into Arizona's ear.
"Finally. We can start our forever." Arizona whispered back. "I love you, Calliope." She sniffed in her ear.
Nodding into her fiancés shoulder. "I love you too, Arizona." She said, pulling back to listen to the judge as he began to speak again.
"Mr. Conley, before I read you your sentences, I'd like to say something. I did not take this case lightly. Attempted rape alone in my courtroom can get you thrown in jail for years, let alone 2 cases on top of assault charges and murder. I think you sat out to kill the night of February 27, 2013, Mr. Conley. And you may not have planned to set out to kill the night of November 7, 2014. But I believe with the evidence I've been handed you were going to kill Dr. Robbins. So, with that, I will read you your sentencing." He said, pulling out another folder with the sentencing papers in it.
"You will serve 6 years for 2 counts of attempted rape. 8 years for aggravated assault. 25 years for 2 charges of aggravated assault with attempt to kill." He said, closing his file. "And for the first degree murder charge you will serve, life without parole. I gave you the maximum sentence Mr. Conley on all cases, May God have mercy on your soul. Bailiff, taking him to booking." He said, slamming his gabble on the desk. "Court is in recess." He said, before standing and walking back into his chambers.
Standing from their seats, Callie and Arizona hugged her parents before hugging their friends.
"It's finally over, bug." Daniel said, walking out of the courtroom with his arm around his daughter.
"Thank god, daddy. I don't think, Calliope nor I could handle another day of this." Arizona sighed, leaning into her fathers arm.
"I know. Your mother and I are right there with you, sweetheart." She said, turning and seeing their group of friends and family follow behind them. Callie and Barbara in the back of the pack, with their arm wrapped around each other talking. "Now, I get to look forward to walking my little girl down the aisle. I'm so proud of you honey." He said kissing the top of her head. "You've grown up into such an amazing young woman."
"Thank you, daddy." She said as Callie and Barbara caught up to them. Seeing Barbara and Callie whisper back and forth, Arizona eyed them. "What are you two up to?"
"Nothing." Barbara quickly stated.
"Hey babe, you okay!" Callie asked, taking Arizona's offered hand quickly changing the topic.
"I'm great. You?"
"Yea.. I Uhh.. I promised your mom I would help her cook dinner this evening for everyone. We need to run home and pack so we can be at your parents before everyone gets there."
"Pack? Where are you headed?" Daniel asked.
"They're headed to Miami in the morning, Daniel." Barbara smiled.
"Yeah, we thought now was as good a time as any." Arizona said, kissing Callie's hand. "I just need a warm beach, a cold drink and Calliope by my side." She smiled at her fiancé.
"Well, if anyone deserves it, it would be you two." He said, placing his hands on each of the girls shoulders, separating the two so he could squeeze in between the two, causing them to laugh. "Come on, my girls." He said, draping his arms over Callie's and Arizona's shoulders as they wrapped an arm around his back. "Let's go home." He said leading them out the doors of the courthouse.
There you have it.
