Chapter 73

Callie couldn't wait to see her wife, she anxiously jumped out of her cab that dropped her off at her fathers hotel where Arizona's conference was taking place. Walking in with her overnight bag slung over her shoulder Callie asked the receptionist for her wife's room. At first the woman denied her the request, but as soon as she mentioned who she was she was quickly gave the information she wanted. After listening to the voicemails from her wife, she decided to check the restaurant before heading up to the room. Walking up to the establishment, an exchange caught her eyes through the window. Her wife, standing with another blonde who was holding her hands. Callie was frozen in her spot when she saw the woman grab her wife and kiss her. And.. and did Arizona just reciprocate the kiss? Seeing that her wife didn't even try to break the kiss shocked her as she stood there unaware that the tears had started to fall. Callie couldn't believe her eyes. As soon as blue eyes looked up to met hers, she quickly retreated out of the building the same way she came in. She didn't know what to think and right now she needed a few minutes to just digest what she had seen.

Seeing her wife shake her head and turn around when she caught her blue eyes, Arizona quickly dashed out of the restaurant to stop her wife. "Callie..." She yelled, as she saw the brunette shake her head again letting the blonde know she didn't want to hear it as she disappeared out the the hotel. She didn't know how much of the exchange her wife had seen and to be honest if she was the brunette she would be upset too, but she had to let her wife know it was nothing. "Callie.." She yelled, seeing her storm down the street. "Calliope.. please... stop." She said again when she saw her wife disappear. Standing in the street in the middle of the crowd, Arizona didn't know what to do. Chances of finding her wife where little to none right now, but after seeing the brunettes hurt face she knew she had to find her.

Walking swiftly down the street, Callie didn't know where she was going but she just keep walking and replaying the way that woman kissed her wife. Maybe she should have stayed and heard her wife out, but seeing someone else's lips on Arizona made her literally sick to her stomach. Wiping away tears that she hadn't even realized fell from her eyes she spotted an empty bench next to a small park in the city several blocks away from the hotel she just ran from. Sitting down on the bench, Callie took a few staggering breaths, taking several minutes to collect her thoughts. Trying her best to figure out a plausible reason as to why her wife didn't break the kiss or block it entirely, only coming up empty. Just thinking about the kiss she saw, the brunette couldn't keep her emotions straight any longer.

Hurrying through the crowded street bumping into people left and right, Arizona was frantically searching for the love of her life. "Calliope.." She yelled, hoping to get an answer from the brunette. After straying several blocks from the hotel, Arizona started to give up finding her wife anytime soon. Pulling out her phone she decided to try to call her, praying she would answer. "Calliope, please call me back baby." Arizona cried into the phone. "Nothing happened, I promise. I know what it looked like but I swear I would never do anything to betray you... please." She begged. "Goddamn it!" She growled when the phone disconnected her. Looking around, not knowing what to do, Arizona began to turn around to trudge back to the hotel in hopes that Callie would soon return. Just as she turned, she heard a soft familiar whimper. "Cal?" She whispered, ducking and weaving through the crowd until she saw her wife bent over on the bench crying. "Calliope." She sighed. Rushing over to the seat, Arizona quickly wrapped her arms around her crying wife.

Feeing her wife's comfortable arms surround her only made Callie cry more. The same arms that she loved so much was making her cry. "Don't touch me." She cried, trying to break free from her wife's embrace.

"No..no." Arizona yelled right back.

"I don't want you.." She sobbed. "..to touch me."

"Don't say that. Stop, Callie." She pulled back slightly so she wouldn't get hit in the face by her wife's flailing arms. "No... I'm not letting you go." She held on tighter.

"Let me go.. please." She sobbed as she gave up the fight and held tight to her wife's arms as she cried. She thought she may be over reacting but seeing her wife kissing someone else hurt more than she expected it ever would. "I can't..."

"Shh..." Arizona held Callie tight while rocking back and forth trying to calm the brunette down. "Shh.. It's okay, baby." She soothed, petting her wife's head. "Please don't cry, Calliope. Nothing happened. I promise." She kept whispering over and over.

After several minutes, Callie was finally able to calm down a bit. "Nothing?" She scoffed, still looking down at the ground. "Well what the hell was that then Arizona?" Silent tears still running down the brunettes face.

"Of course it was nothing. I'd never do anything to hurt you, Callie."

"You wouldn't?" Callie chuckled in disbelief.

"You know I wouldn't sweetie."

"You didn't pull away from that..that home wrecker. That hurt me."

"Callie.." Arizona sighed. "I didn..." But she was cut off before she could even finish.

"Did you kiss her back? Because it sure as hell looked like it." Callie angrily said, finally looking up at her wife's gaze. "What I saw.." She said, standing from the bench. "..was two woman enjoying their kiss.. like they've been doing it for years."

"No. God no." Arizona stood up to come face to face with her wife. Searching for her wife's hands, "I was not enjoying anything." She took her wife's hands on hers and pulled her closer. "I've been trying to avoid her all week."

"All week? So.." Callie spat, jerking her hands out of her wife's. She couldn't stand the touch from her right now. "..this has been going on for three days now? What happened to I miss you Callie, I miss just being at home with you, I can't wait to come home and see your face."

"I do, Calliope. Let me explain, please." The blonde begged, she could tell her wife was ready to explode but was trying her best to keep it in.

"Silly me.. I missed you so much, that I hopped on the first plane out here and this is my thank you..." She shook her head and turned to pick up her overnight bag from the ground. Glancing back at her wife, she tried to speak before the tears that threatened to spill came pouring down again. "I.. I." She couldn't get another word out. Turning, she started to walk away from the blonde.

"Calliope Robbins.. stop." Arizona yelled, hoping that would get the brunettes attention but she just kept pressing forward. Thinking of the one thing that would make her wife stop. "SoBe." She yelled, silently praying for her wife would stop.

Her wife's pleads we're going in one ear and out the other until Arizona yelled the one thing that would always stop her in her tracks no matter how mad she was at wife or vice versa. SoBe kind of became their thing to say when one wasn't really hearing the other out. When they were in South Beach on the beach after their first huge fight, they promised that they wouldn't walk away from fights anymore. Saying they would always listen to what the other had to say no matter what. So SoBe was there go to word to make the other one listen when need be. Even though this was only the second time anyone had ever used it before it seemed to work.

Stopping in her place, Callie took a ragged breath as she thought back to their fight that night in Miami a few days after she proposed to Arizona on the boat. "SoBe... Calliope."

Closing her eyes, she swallowed the huge lump that had formed in her throat. Feeling her wife's presence behind her, Callie turned around. "Five minutes, Arizona. You have five minutes to tell me what I want to hear or I will go home and not look back."

"No, I am not going to tell you what you want to hear.." The blonde stated, grabbing her wife's hand. "I am going to tell you what happened." She said, leading her back to the hotel.

"What are you doing?" Callie questioned as her wife pulled her back up the street.

"We are going up to our hotel room so I can talk to you in private." Arizona said, weaving through the crowd with a tight grip on her wife's hand.

"I don't want to talk in private. Whatever you have to say you can say right here." Callie said, trying to wiggle her hand free from the blondes hold.

"Calliope." Arizona stopped to look at here wife. "I love you, and I don't you to feel embarrassed for the way your acting right now when you find out the truth." She said, continuing her walk.

Deciding to give her wife the benefit of the doubt, Callie reluctantly stopped fighting her and walked in silence back to the hotel and up to the suite the blonde occupied. After entering the room she sat down in the chair next to the entrance with her bag in her lap as she looked straight ahead while she waited for the blonde to explain.

Looking at her pouting wife, Arizona couldn't help but smile. No matter what mood the brunette was in she always found her so beautiful. And mad Callie was just as striking.

Glancing up at her wife, Callie saw the smile on her wife's face and it only infuriated her more. "Put yourself in my shoes Arizona." She said, sitting in the chair with her arms crossed. "If you saw me kissing some woman, you'd be furious right now too so wipe that smug grin off your damn face because it's pissing me off more and more."

"Calliope..." Arizona tried to his her grin but she couldn't. Jealous Callie was super hot, super. "It's because I am cute and you know it." She chuckled.

Knowing her wife was right didn't help matters. "If you don't tell me who that was and what happened in the next thirty seconds, Arizona. I swear to god, I will go hunt that woman's ass down and beat the hell out of her and ask questions later."

"Okay, listen to me." Arizona said, holding her hands up at her wife. "You're not going to hunt anyone down and beat their ass.. yet." She informed her. "After I tell you what happened.. if you still want, I'll hunt her down for you."

"Arizona." Callie squinted at her, letting her know she was in no mood for jokes.

"Stop, okay.. just stop with the sneers. Can you tell me right now that you honestly think I would do anything to jeopardize us, Callie? After everything we have been though?"

Sighing, "No." She whispered as she lowered her head into her hands. Callie knew that her wife wouldn't do anything purposely to hurt her, but still what else was she suppose to think?

"You're right." Arizona said, bending down in front of her wife. "I would never.. ever do anything to mess us up, Calliope." She said, pulling her wife's arms down so she could see her caramel face. "I love you and only you honey."

"I know.." Callie whispered. "But you have to understand, seeing you with..." She closed her eyes, she couldn't even say it out loud.

"Shh.. I know.. I know.." Hugging her wife. "I understand." She said lifting her chin. "If I saw you in that kind of position I would probably be this upset too."

"What happened, Arizona?" She asked, sitting up in the chair.

Taking a deep breath, she stood up and sat down across her wife's lap. "That was JoAnn."

"JoAnn? Your... your ex girlfriend who cheated on you.. JoAnn?" Callie asked, looking up at her wife.

"Yes, that JoAnn." She said, wiping the brunettes face dry. "Please don't cry anymore, baby." She said, kissing her wife's eyelids.

"I can't help it."

"I know.." She said, wrapping her arm around her wife. "But nothing happened. I had seen her Monday during the conference and luckily I was on the strange. I had been able to avoid her all week until tonight. She came up to me in the restaurant and congratulated me on my success. We talked for a few minutes and that's when she started hitting on me." She said, as Callie looked up into her eyes. "She said seeing me again made her realize she still loved and missed me and that she wanted me back."

"I'm not giving you up." Callie said with tears in her eyes.

"And I'm not going to let you. You're my world, my everything and I told her that." Arizona said, kissing her temple. "She tried her best, but her best is your worst attempt at flirting." She chuckled, looking down at her.

"But she kissed you and.. you didn't push her away, Arizona." She said as a tear slipped down her face.

"You're right, I didn't and I regret that. I'm sorry, Calliope. But before I even realized what she was doing she had already pulled back. Next thing I knew, she said she was here till Friday then she threw her business card down on the table and left. That's when I saw you." Cupping her wife's face. "You have to believe me, I did not kiss her back honey."

Nodding, "I believe you, but I'm still not okay with her lips on yours."

"I'm not okay with it either babe. Trust me all I could think about was running to the bathroom and washing my mouth out... or that was until I saw you, that's when I wanted to run and puke. I still do thinking about it, it physically makes my stomach hurt." She said, holding her belly.

"I swear if I see her or even Lauren again, I can't promise to not put my hands on either one of them. Who the hell do they think they are." Callie let slip, not even realizing she had said Lauren's name. This incident made her think about that day in the blondes office when the other doctor that couldn't quit fawning over her wife.

"I wouldn't expect anything less." She said as Callie places her hand on top of hers that laid on her stomach. "Wait.." She furrowed her brows. "What do you mean either one of them?"

"What?"

"You said, Lauren?" Arizona realized.

"No I didn't."

"Ahh, yeah you did?"

"I forgive you." Callie said, wrapping her arms around her wife, trying to change the subject. She had went so long without letting her and Teddy's little secret out about kicking Boswell out of the office and now she was cruising herself for slipping. "I was hoping to catch you before you ate, but I was late. I'm famished, what do you say we go out and find me something to eat?"

"Uhh.. I say, after you explain yourself."

"Nothing to explain." Callie shrugged.

"Callie..."

"Fine. I..uhh.. may have.. thrown laurenoutonherass." She mumbled the last part.

"Umm.. Excuse me? Could you say that again because I swear I think I heard you say Lauren and ass in the same sentence and I'm not sure how I feel about that."

"I threw Lauren out on her ass." Callie huffed.

"Why?" Arizona questioned.

"Because I didn't like how she was looking at you."

"Are you kidding me?" She tried to stand, but Callie kept her in place on her lap. "That is ridiculous, Callie."

"No it's not. Teddy was there! Boswell made a comment that she'd like to see you out of those scrubs."

"Callie.. what did you do?" She glared at her wife. She couldn't ever recall seeing Callie this way and it was cute to her.

"I may or may not have forcefully threw her out the back door." She shrugged.

"Calliope."

"What? What would you have expected me to do? Act fine with it? It was not okay for her to talk about you the way she did. I asked her to leave and she refused, so I took matters into my own hands."

"Oooh.." Arizona said, grabbing her wife's face. "Calliope Robbins... you are so hot when you're jealous." She said, leaning in for a kiss.

Pulling back when the kiss was about to get heated. "I'm no jealous."

"Of course your not, my love." She said, kissing red lips again. "I love you."

"I'm sorry." Callie said as she began to feel guilty for running off like she had.

"For what? I'm the one that needs to say sorry. I should have let her have it when she first sat down but I didn't."

"For running. I just couldn't stomach what I saw."

"It's okay. I couldn't stomach it either." Arizona replied.

"I'm sorry I made you chase me... that was selfish of me. I should have stayed and listened."

"It's okay. I get it." The blonde stood from her seat. "Now that we have all of that out of the way, can we address the fact that you're here right now?" She smiled down at her wife. "What made you come?"

Looking up at her wife, she smiled and pulled her close. "Well.. you made me come.. last night." She giggled.

"You're nasty." Arizona shoved her wife's shoulder. Smiling when she thought back to their little private FaceTime party that had last night.

"I'm here because I missed my two favorite people."

"Two?"

"Yes two." Callie said, lifting her wife's shirt up. "You and this little one right here." She said, placing a gentle kiss on her wife's stomach.

"Callie.." She laughed, shaking her head at her wife's antics. "We don't know anything yet."

"He's in there.. I feel it." She said, smiling up at her wife.

"He?"

"Mmhmm. It's going to be a boy, I can tell."

Laughing. "Well we have about four or five more weeks to go until we find out if there is a possibility of a he or she.. So let's just take it one step at a time."

"Okay. But I know he's there." Callie grinned. Standing from her chair. "I missed you." She finally gave her wife a proper hug.

"I missed you too." Arizona returned the embrace. "So much, Calliope." She said, inhaling the scent of her wife's signature shampoo.

"Me too babe, me too." She laughed when her stomach growled, breaking them out of their little embrace.

"Come on. Let's go get you something to eat." She laughed. "Somewhere where there's good desserts. I'm craving a huge piece of cake."

"Is it the Robbins genes talking or is little man telling his mama he wants something sweet?" Callie smiled, rubbing her wife's stomach.

"Stop saying things like that." Arizona whined, hitting her wife playfully. "It's going to get me excited and right now, there is really nothing to be excited about."

"I'm already excited. I can tell.. I knocked you up." Callie smiled, looking up at her wife. "I love you."

"I love you too." she said, nestling her face in her wife's.

So. did it take or will they be in for a huge disappointment?

Have they saw the last of JoAnn?
