YEY, everything is okay! I can't believe some of you thought I'd actually hurt Arizona, the baby and or the dogs! Lol

This cold is really whipping my butt! I'm posting chapters faster than I can get them written this week! Good thing I'm a little ahead!

Chapter 101

It had been a month since Erica had showed her face and attacked her wife in their own house, and two weeks since they've been back from their spontaneous trip to Hawaii. Which was only suppose to be a week, but they were enjoying their alone time too much to come back to the real world so it turned into a two week vacation instead of one. Arizona at first told her that they couldn't keep canceling their patients at the clinic whenever they pleased, but Callie insisted that she didn't care. After thinking she lost her wife and baby, nothing else mattered except being with the two of them right now. Teddy wasn't too happy about it when she heard they were staying longer, only because it put her having to call Callie's patients to cancel their appointments, but she understood the reasoning so she kept quiet.

The trip did both women wonders, it was something they both desperately needed to get their focus back and since being home they've busied theirselves with work and home life. Arizona had been training Dr. Jo Wilson, the new PA she hired for the clinic while Callie doubled back on her surgeries to make up for her two week absence. After they returned home in the evenings, they went about getting things ready for the baby's arrival. Instead of Arizona in the nesting stage, it was Callie. She made herself busy cleaning closets, sanitizing every surface of the house, dusting and redusting every inch of space she could get to. Arizona on the other hand just busied herself washing all the baby clothes their friends and family had gifted to them, while also getting a kick out of her wife running around like a mad woman. After cleaning and putting away all the baby clothes, Callie decided that they didn't have quiet enough outfits so they went shopping for more. Now, just weeks away from Charlee's birth, they were well stocked and anxiously waiting for their little girls arrival.

After Callie had got the house spotless, Arizona made her promise that she would stop with the cleaning. The blonde insisted that you could eat off of any surface in the house, including the floors.

After work today, Callie went to the bar and had a few drinks with Meredith and Cristina. She had tried to get her wife to join, but Arizona said she just felt to uncomfortable going into a bar as far along as she was. She didn't want people staring at the large pregnant woman who looked to be 'bar hopping' as she put it. The brunette decided that she would just stay home with her wife since she didn't want to go, but the blonde insisted that Callie go out and have some fun. She knew that her wife had been working hard lately and she wanted her to just unwind. So while Callie was out this evening Arizona spent some quiet time out on the beach with a good book and their dogs by her side. After enjoying the nice April evening out by the shore, the blonde took a nice warm bath before heading to bed.

When Callie walked into their bedroom after returning home from her night out, she found her wife sound asleep lying on her side of the bed with her journal laying open on her chest just like so many times before. Closing the book, she put it in the blondes bedside table and kissed her forehead. "Good night, Amor." She whispered, before changing into her night clothes. Grabbing her book out of the nightstand, she climbed in to bed on her wife's side and opened the journal Arizona had gave her on their wedding day. She had the book for well over a year and she still hadn't had the time to read it all. Flipping through the pages, she stopped on something that caught her eye.

Our first date, June 2014

What can I say. A first date says a lot about a person. Whether they're fun, adventurous, spontaneous, romantic, shy, bashful or confident. Callie is all of those and then some. She's fun and Ioves to have a good time. She's caring, sweet and not afraid to hold hands or show affection in public. I'm very grateful for that because I can't seem to keep my hands away from her. I just feel like I need to touch her all the time, whether it's brushing my arm against hers or holding her soft hand as we walk down the streets. God I love holding her hand and when she laces her fingers with mine, I feel like my stomach is a greenhouse with thousands of butterflies swarming. Jesus the things this woman does to me!

Okay okay, back to the first date. She remembered! That says it all. She remembered I said in passing at the river that I love carnivals. So this morning she cooked me a delicious breakfast and then we walked down to the carnival on the boardwalk. That's how I knew this date would lead to the second. ;) (Like there was any question.) She had me hook, line and sinker even before the date, but I digress. I'm smitten okay!

I suggested for us to ride some tall ride and her face was just too priceless. You could see the fear in her eyes. I just wanted to kiss the life out of her right then and there, but I refrained. And when she started fumbling her words while trying to make excuses as to why we shouldn't ride it at the moment.. :) she was just too cute for words.

Laughing at her wife's words, Callie scrolled down to the bottom of the page where the blonde had scribbled some words.

Valentine's Day 2015 What the hell! SHE BOUGHT ME A PUPPY! OOO AND CHICKENS! Wtf? How does she always remember the little things! Tit for tat, I bought her one too! :) Haha! I love you so damn much Calliope Torres!

Callie laughed out loud when she read the last part. Her wife can even come off bubbly and perky in her writings. Flipping through the journal again, she stopped on a page that had some smudge stains.

February 23, 2015

Today was the day I've been longing for, but dreading all at the same time. For almost two years I have prayed that we'd get some justice for my brothers death, and in a way today was/is the beginning of the end. The end to all the grief my family has been through these past two years. Today Callie and I along with some of our friends had to take the witness stand in the murder trail. It was probably one of the hardest days in my life. To have to sit up there and tell a story not even my closest friends have even heard. It's gut wrenching. I was afraid of what they would think. Would they see me as the reason my brother is gone? That's what I've felt for so long. I had felt like everything was my fault. It was my fault JoAnn cheated on me, it was my fault I was at the park and it was my fault that Tim isn't here with me now. I couldn't help but feel that way for so long. Callie has told me time after time that it's not my fault and I really know deep down its not. My head knows that, but my heart sometimes doesn't understand. It's been a long road, but I've finally came to accept the things that I can't change. I feel relief now that the hard part is over. It could be a matter of minutes, hours or a days, but soon we'll know that bastards fate. What scares me about that, is Calliope. She's afraid this will break us. She's afraid that he'll get off and I'll resent her or something? I wish she would understand that if it was going to break us, it would have happened when Conley resurfaced in my life. He took one person from me and I'll be damned if he takes her too. Only over my dead body will...

Callie stopped reading the excerpt her wife had wrote. She didn't want to relieve some of the terrible things they've been through when they had been going through something almost as bad recently. Taking a deep breath, she closed the book and sat it on the blondes nightstand. Deciding it was time to snuggle with her wife, she laid down and spooned her, causing Arizona to become more relaxed in her arms as the brunette soon fell into a deep sleep.

Arizona was sound asleep when something shot her straight up in bed. Realizing she was on the wrong side, she looked around the room. The dogs laying down in their bed by the window, which meant a noise wasn't what startled her. Looking beside her, she saw her wife lying on her stomach with her brown hair sprawled out over her face and the pillow. Her right arm and leg was hanging over the edge of the bed. She never saw how Callie could sleep like that. Having her hair in her face like that alone would annoy her to no end. Reaching over she brushed the brunettes hair out of her face revealing a smile that could light up the room. She loved how Callie would smile in her sleep. "Crazy big." She whispered, running her thumb over the apple of her wife's cheek. Laying back down, she carefully rolled over and kissed the brunettes red lips before laying her head down close to hers. As soon as she had gotten comfortable again she quickly found out what suddenly woke her.

"Ooohh..." She sat right back up and clutched her stomach when she felt a sharp pain barrel through her abdomen. Taking a deep breath she felt her stomach tightening. "Ahhh.." She said, rubbing her stomach, hoping it would calm the pain. "Come on baby." She tried to rub the pain out. Feeling another pain, "Oh no." She said, reaching over to shake the brunette. "Callie." She wasn't sure what was going on with her but whatever it was shouldn't be happening right now. "Callie." She said louder as another wave hit. "Cal... argh!" A stronger pain hit. "Calliope!"

"Arizona?" Callie shot up in the bed when she heard her wife yell out. "What's wrong?" She said, when she saw the scared look in her wife's eyes.

"It's too soon, Callie." She whispered, still clutching her stomach.

"Contractions?" Callie turned and felt the tightness in her wife's stomach.

"I... I don't know." She hissed through her teeth. "I've never had them before." She said as the pain eased. "But if it is.. it's too early, Calliope. She can't come yet."

"Calm down." She said as the blonde got upset. "Look at me." She said, trying to calm her wife. "They are hundreds of women who have healthy babies everyday at thirty-six weeks. We just had a checkup just a few days ago, everything was fine."

"I know, but it hurts."

"I know sweetie. How bad is your pain?" Callie rubbed her back.

"Four, four and a half."

"Okay." She said, looking up at her wife. "We're going to the hospital." Callie got up out of the bed and quickly dressed before she helped her wife do the same. She didn't know if it was contractions or not, but she'd rather be safe than sorry.

"Do you think she's coming?" Arizona asked nervously as they were walking out of the door.

"I don't know. I hope not because we have nothing packed yet and we're going to the hospital right now." She chuckled as she tried to ease her wife's mind. "And we're not quiet ready, we still have to trade one of our vehicles. A jeep isn't baby safe." She said, helping her into the jeep.

"Maybe you should have thought about that when you kept putting it off." Arizona buckled up as Callie got behind the wheel.

"Shut up." Callie joked as she pulled out of the drive. Reaching for the blondes hand, she laced their fingers together as she drove them to the hospital, knowing every time her wife was having pain because she would squeeze her hand.

"You okay?" Callie asked as she pulled into the hospital parking lot.

"Yeah. Still hurts, but I'm okay. She can't come yet, Callie." The blonde looked over at her wife.

"Every thing will be okay babe." She consoled her. "Let me run and get you a wheel chair." She said, putting the jeep in park.

"No, I can walk." Arizona said, unbuckling her seatbelt.

"I'd feel better if you'd let.."

"Callie, I'm okay." She said cutting her wife off as she opened the door to get out.

"Well, at least let me help you." She quickly went around to the passenger side of the jeep.

"Oooh.." Arizona squeezed her wife's arm as another pain hit. "I think this is it." She breathed.

"Okay.." She said, wrapping her arm around her wife to help her walk. Looking around, she took a deep breath, trying to keep her cool. "Yang." Callie yelled, seeing the Korean sitting outside the ambulance bay.

"Oh so let me guess, now you need a favor." Cristina said, leaning back on the bench and crossing her arms. She was still a little bitter that they shot down her request for being the baby's godmother.

"Yes, get a wheel chair."

"Get your own wheelchair, I'm on my break." She said, picking up the suture kit and banana she had sitting beside her.

"Cristina..." Arizona said as another pain went through. "Get. A. Chair." She growled, causing Callie to flinch slightly as the blonde squeezed her right hand.

"Okay.. jesus." She hopped up to get the blonde a wheel chair when she heard Arizona's stern voice. She would never admit it, but she was slightly afraid of her when she got angry.

"I feel like a big baby." The blonde whined as she changed back into her pajamas. When Arizona was brought a chair, they took her inside and did a work up on her to determine if she was going into early labor. After the Korean did a few tests she diagnosed the blonde and sent her back on her way home.

"You're not." Callie insisted as she climbed onto the bed.

"I am. How am I suppose to tolerate contractions if I can't even handle Braxton hicks?" She said, pulling the covers up to her neck once she was laying down.

"Oh babe." She said, scooting close to her wife. "You'll be a champ, I know you will. I think you were just worried today because it's still a little early."

"I don't know, maybe." Arizona said, trying to get comfy. "I hate this." She said, grabbing a pillow to put under her.

"Hate what?"

"This. It takes me forever to get comfy because I'm so huge. No matter how I lay it's awkward. And I miss you." She pouted, crossing her arms.

"I'm here." Callie told her once she got settled.

"That's not what I mean. I miss our routine. We'd fall asleep with you spooning me and then we'd wake up and I was spooning you. It's not that I don't love when you spoon me. It's just that I miss being able to hold you. I miss that connection. I love holding you."

"I miss you too." Callie said, combing her fingers through blonde hair. "Before you know it, she'll be here and things will get back to normal."

"Yeah." She let out a loud yawn.

"Get some sleep, sweetie." She leaned in and kissed pink lips. "I love you."

"Love you too." Arizona mumbled as Callie laid her head next to hers on the pillow. One good thing about being in the third trimester of her pregnancy was when she finally did get comfortable enough, she was out like a light.

"Sweet dreams."

"Mmhmmm..too." She hummed as she drifted off to sleep.

"Arizona, come one." Callie huffed. They had spent several hours at different car dealerships in Seattle and they still haven't found anything the blonde was satisfied with. "I took a half a day off to do this, the least you could do was give a little more input. Everything your dad or I suggest you shoot down."

"Im sorry, Callie. But we do not need a Bentley. The answer is no!" Arizona crossed her arms, signaling it was the end of the conversation.

"The answer has been no with everything we looked at. When will you just pick something."

"I did, but you don't like it."

"Arizona." Callie sighed. "A truck isn't baby friendly." She said once again. They have been arguing about this subject since she took her wife to the hospital when she was having false contractions a week ago. "Why the hell do two women need a truck for a family vehicle anyway?"

"It is baby friendly. They are big and tough. Put a car and a truck in a wreck and see who comes out unscathed." She huffed, seeing her dad talking to the dealer in the background. They had asked him to come along and help them find the best deal.

"We're not shopping for a damn car, Arizona. We're shopping for a bigger safer means of transportation to carry our baby in. Why in the hell is that so damn hard?" Callie paced in front of a line of new vehicles. She was trying to keep her cool, but every time she mentioned or looked at a SUV her wife would shoot it down before they even looked at it.

"Why do you think a truck isn't safe? Hmm?" She waited for her wife's reply.

"It's not that it isn't safe, Arizona. I'm thinking practical. A truck isn't practical." She tried to keep her voice down. "Not for two women and a baby. Anywhere we go we'll have to take a stroller and other things for her. So we'll have to put those things in the bed of the truck and what happens when it's raining? We stay at home? I mean it is fucking Seattle, we'll be staying home more times than not."

"We can get a tonneau cover." Arizona shrugged.

"You even know the name for it?" Callie laughed, shaking her head in disbelief. "Why did you put this on me then if you wanted a truck this whole time?" She asked, not getting a response. "We've talked about trading one of our jeeps for months now and we've talked about a bigger ride. Of all the things we've talked about, you've never once mentioned a truck until this week. Why did you let me look for the most safest type of SVU for months if that's what you wanted?"

"I don't know." She brushed her wife off. "I saw one the other day and I really liked it."

"Wow, just forget it." Callie said giving up. "Get what you want, I don't care anymore." She turned and walked off.

"Where are you going?" Arizona asked her when she saw Callie walking to her jeep.

"I'm not arguing over a damn truck." She said, getting in her jeep. "When you find what you want, your dad can come pick up the wrangler and trade it. I'm leaving." She said, holding out her checkbook to her wife.

"Callie." Arizona walked up to the jeep. She couldn't believe that she was mad enough to leave her here.

"No, Arizona." She shook her head. "I'm not fighting over this. I'm finished." She said, starting the vehicle. "If you want a truck, get a truck."

"Do not leave me out here." Arizona demanded.

"Your dad is here Arizona, I'm not leaving you stranded. I met you and him here." When Addison heard that the blonde had been showing signs of false labor she advised her and Callie both that it would be in their best interest for Arizona to start her maternity leave. The doctor was afraid with all of her added stress with what happened with Erica that she might go into early labor. She really wanted Arizona to carry the baby as long as possible so the way to do that was to alleviate all her stress and a break from work was one way to do that. "I have a lot things I need to get finished at the office especially seeing I've took half a day off for nothing." She put the car in gear. "I have a surgery at six this evening, so I don't know when I'll be home." She said when she noticed the expression on her wife's face changed.

"Callie?" She grimaced in pain as she grabbed her stomach.

Seeing her wife flinch in pain brought Callie quickly out of the car and by her wife's side. "Are you okay?" The brunette ducked down to look her in the face.

"Yeah.. yeah, I just need to sit down." She said as the brunette helped her sit in the seat she just vacated.

Sitting sideways in the seat, her legs hanging out of the door, Arizona took a deep breath before turning the jeep off and sticking the keys in her bra.

Seeing her wife's demeanor change. "What the..." Her eyes widened when she realized what her wife had done. "Arizona! What the hell? You made me think you were hurting!"

"You were going to leave me here. I had to do something to stop you." The blonde felt bad that she played her wife like that but she didn't want her to leave.

"Wow. I can't believe you would do that to me. That's just wrong on so many levels." She ran her fingers through her hair.

"I'm sorry, okay." She sighed. "But I didn't want you to leave and not because I would be stranded here with my dad. I don't want you to leave because.. I don't want you to leave. Especially when you are mad."

"I'm not mad, I'm just finished with this whole thing."

"You're mad." Arizona said again with a sweet smile.

"Okay I'm mad." Callie admitted. "Do you blame me? You have sat by my side on the couch and in bed countless times as I've searched and searched on the Internet for the safest car and not once did you mention a truck."

"I know.." She signed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you mad. I'm just in a mood I guess and was just annoying you." She shrugged. "I'm just nit picky today."

"Why are you in a mood?" Callie walked up closer to her wife who was still in the jeep.

"I don't know, just not feeling well. I just feel tired and cranky, so I was trying to make you cranky too." Arizona said, taking her wife's hands.

"Well you succeeded."

"You're making me feel bad now."

"You should feel bad. You make me think you were having those contractions again." The brunette said as Arizona pulled her close.

"It was my only option besides laying down in the middle of the road." She laughed as she rested her head on her wife's shoulder. "I'm sorry."

"Quit trying to be sweet now." She said as Arizona hugged and caressed her. "I'm mad, I hate when I'm mad and you do this. It's so damn hard to stay mad."

"But I don't want you to be mad." The blonde looked up at her wife.

"So, what are we going to do?" Callie sighed and wrapped her arms around her wife.

"No Bentley." She mumbled into her wife's chest.

"Well at least tell me why?"

"I don't want a Bentley. In my opinion, the only people who drive flashy Bentley's are people trying to impress with their money and I don't want to do that."

"Dear lord, why didn't you say that in the first place instead of acting like a four year old."

"Because it was fun seeing you get mad and also cause I think you're cute with your mad face." She laughed, pulling back from the hug. "Okay.. I don't know really." She shrugged.

"Why a truck?"

"Two reasons."

"And they are?" Callie asked as she leaned against the jeep door.

"Promise you won't get mad again?"

Callie gave her her famous glare. "You just said you think I'm cute when I'm mad and now you don't want me to be mad? You're so confusing sometimes." She shook her head and laughed. "Tell me."

"Because I was only playing when I mentioned it earlier in the week, but when you made that one face when I said it, it was just too cute. So I stuck to wanting a truck." Arizona smiled.

"Because I made a face?" She could kill her wife right now for doing this to her.

"Yep."

"And the second reason?" She said taking a calming breath.

"It's the most important one." She chuckled. Seeing her wife's glare again, so she stopped laughing and told her why. "I want to hear the song 'Make me wanna' and act it out."

"What?" Callie scoffed.

"Don't laugh." The blonde pouted.

"Sorry, but you can't just say you wanted a truck because of a song and not expect me to laugh." She giggled. "What exactly is the song about?"

"You know...I want to be driving down some old dirt road with you and pull the truck to the side of the road." She said, getting out of the jeep. "I'll have you slide on over, let me hold you close and I'll tell you everything I'm thinking." She said, wrapping her arms around her wife. "And then we could hop on out and let the tailgate fall." She said, slowly repeating parts of the lyrics. "And I'd get drunk on you with no alcohol." She kissed her red lips. "Don't you see... You make me wanna, Calliope."

Shaking her head at her seductive wife, Callie placed her hands on the blondes hips as she kissed her again. "Wanna what?" Callie whispered.

"You make me wanna wake up with you, in the bed of my truck.. and start over again when the sun comes up." She whispered, brushing her nose against her wife's as their lips softly met again.

Grinning, Callie pulled back from the kiss before it became too heated. Cupping her wife's face. "Oh, Arizona Robbins." She kissed her on the tip of her nose and looked at her lovingly, eliciting a breathtaking dimpled smile from the blonde. "That's the biggest load of shit I've ever heard." She couldn't help but laugh when she saw her wife's smile fade. It wasn't a good enough reason although she really did think it was sweet, but if Arizona was going to play dirty so was she.

Arizona was being all super cute and romantic and she couldn't believe Callie didn't appreciate it. "You're such an ass." She pushed the brunette away.

"Yeah, but I'm your ass." The brunette grabbed her arms and pulled her close again as Daniel walked up to them.

"It's a good deal." He walked up to the couple.

Looking at her wife. "Tell him no." Callie said as Arizona wrapped her arm around her wife's back. "We don't want it."

"We're going to look at trucks." Arizona smiled.

"One truck and that's it." Callie corrected her.

"Okay, one truck and one SUV and whatever one is the safest is the one we'll get." She looked at her wife. "Deal?"

Letting out a big breath of air, she silently cursed herself and her wife. As much as she was against the truck, Arizona always had a way of changing her mind on things. Especially after what she just said, but Callie wasn't too worried, she still had one more SUV she knew her wife would love. "Deal."

Just a filler chapter to get moving along!
