AN: It's so sad to see all the negativity 'Guests' spread around on all of the stories as of late. I want to chalk to it to the current state Calzona is in on the show, but whose to say. Whatever the reason, it's so sad that some guests always have to be negative and criticize everyone's work. I sure don't see them putting their self out there. If only they knew how they made some people feel. I'd like to think that one day the world will be a better place.
Be the change you want to see.
Ahhhh... This is it. I have devoted over a year of myself to this story and I can only hope you've enjoyed reading it half as much as I did writing it. I put my heart and soul into these two characters and I already miss them.
SORRY, I got carried away with this. I'm sure most of you wont mind. :)
Epilogue
Flashbacks are in italics.
Stretching her body, Arizona groaned as she tried to push away the impending soreness. Last night her and her wife had a pizza and wine date in bed and then spent countless hours making love after putting their baby to bed earlier in the night. Each woman worshiping every square inch of the other. Finally they collapsed in bed in exhaustion around one that morning. She never once moved a muscle until seven a.m. that morning. Opening her eyes, she saw the sun shinning through the bedroom windows, cascading over the brunettes caramel skin. Callie was lying flat on her stomach as the sheet they had used for shelter during the night shifted and was now laying just under the Latina's back dimples, covering only her derrière as her bare legs were exposed to the cool air. Checking the baby monitor at her bedside, Arizona saw the baby still fast asleep on the small screen. Silently thanking God that the toddler slept through most nights now, she laid back down and snuggled into the brunettes side while her beautiful face was turned from her. Inhaling her wife's scent made Arizona's head spin. The smell of her wife mixed with sweat and sex quickly became one of her favorite smells through the years.
The more she smelled her wife, the more the familiar tingling sensation became a present need. Peeking her eye open, she saw brown hair strewn out all over the pillow. Morning Callie was a site to behold in her eyes. The puffy eyes and messy hair was her favorite sight to wake up to. Feeling the need shooting further down to her center, the blonde threw the sheet off her wife and slowly crawled onto the brunettes body. She smiled at the sight of the tanned skin under her. Taking one last whiff of her wife, she leaned down and slowly poked her tongue between her pink lips, running it over her wifes delicious back dimples before laying a light kiss on each indention.
The brunette hadn't stirred as her wife laid soft kisses all over the small of her back. It wasn't until the blonde nipped on the side of her hip bone did she become aware of her advances. "Oww." She moaned, kicking her legs, trying to push her wife away.
"Be still." She smacked the brunettes bare ass.
"What are you doing." Callie mumbled into her comfy pillow. "I was sleeping so good."
"No talking." Arizona raised up to smack her on the butt again.
"Quit hitting me. I'm trying to sleep." She whined, burying her head under her pillow to hide from the light streaming through the window.
"Okay." She whispered, leaning down to kiss her wife's back again. Arizona loved the brunettes back, it was one of her favorite places to explore. She would always take her time kissing every freckle she found on the brunettes shoulder blades. "You sleep." She said, poking her tongue out again and running it up her spine slowly, eliciting a pleasurable moan from the brunette.
"Stopppp... Callie. Is. Sleeping." She tried to roll the blonde off her back.
"I'm not telling you again." She said, smacking her wife's ass, causing it to redden slightly on the third smack. "Be still." She bit her bottom lip between her teeth as she thought about what she wanted to do to the brunette. "Go to sleep." She whispered as she reached down to part her wife's legs a little further so she could settle between her smooth limbs.
"It's kinda hard to go back to sleep when you keep moving me around." She mumbled half asleep. "What are you doing?"
"Just lay there and let me enjoy my ride." Arizona whispered, leaning down and kissing the brunettes neck. "Good morning, pretty lady."
"Mmm.." Feeling her wife kiss the shell of her ear. "Morning." She husked as Arizona licked up the hollow part of her neck, which caused the brunette to giggle and turn her head away when the blondes hair tickled her. "Give me a back massage. You bout killed me last night and my whole body hurts." She moaned.
"Oh, baby." Arizona said, pressing her bare front against her wife's naked back. "I'm going to give you a massage, but it won't be your back." She ground her center on her wife's derrière.
"What are you doing?" Callie questioned as the blonde thrusted her sex on her. It wasn't that she wasn't excited for what her wife had planned, it was just something new.
"I'm loving you." She laughed, as she trusted her on her wife again. Kissing between her shoulder blades, Callie let out a low moan when she started to bite on the skin.
"Well, let me roll over so we can both feel good." She said, wanting to feel her wife's center on hers.
"Shhh.." She placed her finger on her lips. "I told you, lay still."
"How am I suppose to do that when your nipples keep grazing my back." Callie protested. "It's fucking hot as hell."
"Shh..." Arizona said, kissing her shoulder blade again. "You're not suppose to be talking." She said, trailing her lips up to her wife's neck. "I woke up..." She breathed into the tanned skin. "And saw you laying there naked. That firm ass was all I could look at." She said, with a hard thrust with her hips on her wife's rear. "Then it occurred to me..." She trailed her tongue up to her wife's pulse point. "I've never fucked your ass before."
"Jesus, Arizona." Callie instantly became turned on at her wife's potty mouths. "Please." She whined, wanting to be able to turn around and let her wife take her.
"Lay still, Calliope." She purred into her ear. "I promise, once I fuck your ass, I'll fuck your pussy too.. If that's what you want." She giggled into her neck as she slid her hand underneath her wife's body and cupped her breast. "Do you want that, baby?"
"Yes!" Nodding her head vigorously, before shaking her head. "No. No. Arizona. I want you to make love to me, slowly." She turned her head. "Please?" She asked as the blonde captured her lips in a heated kiss.
She couldn't help but smile when she heard her wife's plea. "Put your hand between your legs." Arizona grabbed her wrist and brought it down to her wife's mound. "Keep it there." She whispered, thrusting her hips on her wife, her clit hitting just the right angle, sending pleasure through her. "I'm going to fuck you, Calliope." She kissed her wife's shoulder. "Then I'm going to make slow. Passionate. Mind blowing. Earth shattering. Sweet love. To you." She said, placing kisses all over the freckled back.
"Oh, God." Callie moaned when her wife's thrusts caused her center to push into her hand own hand.
"Feels good?" She asked as she did it again.
"Yes.. Yes.. keep it up." She breathed as her wife complied with her wish.
"Oh, Calliope." She moaned as she kept rocking herself on her wife's backside the brunette let out several light moans as she continued.
"Faster." Callie gasped as thrusts became faster and breathes became more ragged. "Shit..." She breathed.
"Oh god, Calliope. I'm going to.." She moaned, feeling her orgasm teetering. "Callio...peeee." She mumbled as she continued her attack on her wife. She wanted to come, she was just on the verge of letting go, but she wasn't ready. This was feeling too good. Yet, hearing her wife's own moans was making it nearly impossible for her to hold off her climax any longer. This was something new for them, not that Arizona hadn't orgasmed by rubbing herself against her wife before. The previous times it had happened they've both been clothed. Now, they were both stark naked and it was way more intimate then a quick lay, granted this is exactly what that was.
"Fuck... Arizona." She growled. "Feeling your tits on my back is driving me insane baby." She whimpered, dying to attack her wife's luscious mounds.
"And feeling your ass on my clit is sending me straight to heaven." She said, slapping her wife's thigh, before gripping it tightly with her hand as she felt her climax come to a head. Circling her hips on her wife, caused Callie's orgasm to rush forward as it did hers.
"You're an animal." The brunette couldn't help but grind her butt into her wife's sex as both woman yelled out the others name in fervor.
"Ariiii.. zonnnaaaa." Callie screamed into the pillow when her hand stroked her center causing pleasure to rip through her.
"Calliopeeee." The blonde moaned, biting down on her wife's shoulder to try to drown out her yells so she didn't wake her daughter up. There was no way she was ready to stop loving her wife right now. She held herself above the brunette for a few seconds after her high passed through her body before her arms finally gave out.
"Fuck me." Callie breathed, trying to catch her breath when her sweaty wife collapsed on her body.
"I did." She giggled, kissing the shiny tanned skin on her shoulder before rolling off her. "God." She groaned, stretching her body. "I'm so sore."
"Tell me about it." Callie yawned, rolling over on her back. "Every muscle in my body hurts." She mumbled. She felt like she could go back to sleep for another hour or two. "Now that I gave you a ride, give me a back rub." She said, turning away from her wife.
"My arms are tired."
"Arizona." She whined and bumped her wife with her backside. "Do it, you promised in your vows." She said, reaching behind her, grabbing the blondes hand and putting it on her back. "Scratch."
"Hey." She protested. "I said I'd scratch your back every night. Not every morning."
"Please." Callie turned to her and gave her her best pout.
The blonde rolled her eyes when she saw Callie's pouty face. That was one of the faces she could never say no to, no matter how much she tried. "I hate when you do me like that." She said, softly scratching the Latina's back.
The brunette couldn't help but secretly smile. She knew it was true, she could pull off a pout to get almost anything she wanted from Arizona. "No you don't. You love this face." She said, nestling her head into her pillow as her wife gently soothed her. She was just about to fall into a light sleep as she heard a whimper over the baby monitor. "Ugh... No no no. You promised." She whined.
"Shhh..." She hushed her wife by covering her hand over her mouth. "If she hears you there will be no more sex the rest of the day, and I really, really want to do you again." She said, letting go of her wife's mouth and quickly getting a squeeze of the Latina's bare breast before sitting up.
"Hey, now." Callie covered herself up with her hand. "No more of these today unless you make sure she stays asleep for the next thirty minutes."
"I'm going to go check on her." Arizona said, sliding her arms in her wife's robe and walking down the hall to her daughter's room. Thankfully the daylight was coming through the window and she didn't have to turn a light on and wake her. Walking up to the crib, she had to dodge two dogs that were sleeping by the bed. Leaning over she saw the little Latina sleeping on her stomach with her knees bent up her chest and her butt up in the air. The mother in her hated when Charlee slept like that, but the doctor in her new most preferred to sleep that way. Pulling the blanket back up over the sleeping girl, she grabbed the pacifier by her head and held it at her mouth when she saw her daughter's sucking motion indicating she would be waking soon if she didn't have her paci.
After the little girl accepted it in her mouth, she let out a small content sigh in her sleep. Her mother stood there a few more moments to make sure she was going to stay in dreamland before returning back to her bed.
Feeling the bed shift, Callie woke up from her light sleep. She was tired from their marathon love making, but she wanted to continue where they left off last night. Rolling over, she laid her arm across the blondes abdomen and her head on her shoulder. "She still asleep?"
"Yeah." Arizona said, wrapping her arm around the brunettes back. "She'll be up before too long though."
Taking a deep breath, she leaned up on her elbow and looked down at her wife. "I can't believe what today is." She said sadly.
"I know." The blonde stuck her bottom lip out in a pout. "So hard to believe."
"Was it everything you thought it would be?" She asked, lacing her hand with her wife's.
"Nothing like I thought, but at the same time, it's so much better." She shook her head. "You?"
"Same. Much more." Callie answered before bringing their laced hands up to kiss.
"So much more. If someone would have told me five years ago that I'd be in my dream home with a wife and child, I would have probably comited them to an insane asylum." She laughed, tightening the hold on her wife's hands.
"I know." Callie sighed, laying her head down on her wife's chest. She had something she had been toying with in her mind, but she had yet to vocalize it to her wife. "Love you." She whispered, placing a kiss on her chest, just above the swell of her mounds.
"Well then show me."
"You're suppose to show me." Callie raised back up and glared at her. "Remember?"
"I remember." She smiled. "Just wanting to save the best for last." She shrugged.
"You're a terrible liar." She said, leaning her head against her wife's. "Every thing is ready for today, right? We're not forgetting anything?"
"Not that I can think of. I think everything's set, but I'm sure we'll think of something we forgot."
"I can't believe it." She said, kissing her wife's cheek. "Time flies."
"It sure does." Arizona turned her head into her wife's neck and placed a kiss on the skin she found there. "And it will really fly in the next few minutes when your daughter wakes up, so I suggest we get busy."
"You're so romantic." She giggled as Arizona tickled her neck with kisses. "Hey." She pushed her away. "I thought you were first."
"I am." She laughed. "I was just pursuing you to lay on top of me." She laid back and pulled the brunette in place.
"Just like that?" Callie whispered as their fronts pressed into each other.
"Just like that." She agreed, lightly brushing her nose against Callie's before she sought her red lips.
Feeling the blonde brush her lips on the corner of her mouth caused Callie to turn her head slightly and captured pink lips in a quick kiss. Laying her arms by her wife's head, she tangled her hands in the blonde locks she found there. "I love you." She whispered against her wife's mouth.
"More than there are stars in the sky?"
"And fish in the sea."
"I love you with all my butt." Arizona replied, pecking red lips as her hands glided up and down her wife's back.
"You're butt? I give you all the stars in the sky and the fish in the sea and you give me your butt?" She pulled back and looked down at her wife.
"Yeah. I would say my heart but my butts bigger." She giggled into her wife's neck.
"You are such a cheesy moron." She too laughed as she slid her hand underneath them and cupped her wife's ass.
"But I'm your moron." She said, capturing her wife's lip in hers for a heated kiss.
Callie moaned in the passionate embrace as her hand traveled down her blondes butt and landed on her thigh as she pulled her leg up for her to wrap around her waist.
Taking the hint, Arizona circled her legs around the brunettes waist as they slowly explored each other's mouth while moans and whimpers escaped each one.
Callie decided to take it a little further, so she brought her hands up to her wife's chest and gave the mounds she found a hard squeeze as they continued their kiss. Slowly rubbing circles over her wife's nipples with her thumb she felt the blonde trying to buck her hips into her.
Feeling her nipples harden with the Latina's touch, Arizona slowly grazed her hands down the brunettes side and grabbed onto her waist, pulling the brunettes lower body to come into contact with hers. "Mmmm.." She moaned as Callie started to pepper kisses across her jawline and down her neck, landing on her pulse point before sucking the skin into her mouth.
"I love how you taste on my lips." She mumbled as she let go of her wife's neck and made her way slowly down her chest as she finally complied with the blonde, and willingly made contact with her sex.
"Mmmm.." She arched her back off the bed as much as the brunette would allow. "You're driving me crazy, Calliope." She fisted her hands in her wife hair as she took one of her nipples in her mouth and sucked on it gently. "God yes.." Her eyes rolled in the back of her head when her wife flicked her tongue over her bud. "Mmm, so good."
Callie slowly released the nipple, a huge grin evident on her face. She loved making her wife moan like that. Wanting to hear more whimpers from her, she attacked her other breast the same way, before slowly kissing her way down her wife's torso. She laid wet kisses on every inch of the blondes stomach before settling between her legs. "Well hello." She grinned up at Arizona when she saw her wife's glistening folds. "Someone's excited."
"More than excited." She bucked her hips up towards her wife's face, needing to feel her.
Callie backed away when her wife seeked contact with her. She loved teasing her like this. It always seemed to only make her climax stronger. Knowing that their daughter would be stirring any minute, she still decided to tease the blonde a few more minutes before she dug into her delicious breakfast.
"Callie." She groaned, tangling her fingers in her wife's hair that was sprawled over her hips. Feeling the brunette drag her tongue over her waist was driving her absolutely insane with anticipation. "Please."
Hearing her wife's plea, Callie slowly ran her tongue up the crease of the blondes left thigh before repeating the process with the other side. "You need to stay still." She whispered, placing her arm over her wife's hip bone hoping to keep her from wiggling.
"You need to stop being such a damn tease." Arizona sat up and grabbed her wife's face to kiss her red lips before laying back down on the bed. She loved when Callie teased her and most times she would just live with the torture, but she knew any minute Charlee would be waking and she wanted her turn at worshiping her wife's body so they were going to have to speed this process up a little to both women's discretion.
"But it's fun, I love making you squirm." She smiled as she started to kiss the edge of her mound. "I also love making you squirt." Looking up to blue eyes, she saw her wife's stomach and chest rise and fall rapidly.
"If you want your chance, you better put those beautiful lips on my clit." Arizona leaned up on her elbows to watch her wife again.
"But I want to take my time." She pouted.
"I want you to take your time too, but it's a choice babe. Do you not want to come? I know you do, Calliope. You love when I make you come with my tongue." She smiled and circled her hips underneath the brunette, hoping she would attack her center.
"I do." She looked down at her wife's center and places a kiss on her curls.
"Well, you could always turn around and we could do each other at the same time." She said, slowly licking her bottom lip, but knowing her wife wouldn't go for that.
"You know how I feel about that." She looked back up at her wife. "No." She said, leaning down and peppering kisses all over her mound.
"We'll get busy, because I want you too." She said, cupping the back of her wife's neck to guide her where she needed her most.
Callie couldn't help but giggle at the blondes eagerness. "Okay, okay." She pulled back. "You don't have to ask any more." Grabbing her wife's hand off her neck, she laced their fingers together. "Relax babe." She said kissing her hand before directing her vision to her wife's sex.
Arizona laid their laced hand down to her side as she was still propped up watching her wife. Seeing Callie poke her tongue out between her lips, she could almost feel the Latina's wet mouth on her. "So hot." She whispered to herself.
Callie was just about to swipe her tongue through Arizona's folds, but drew back just before coming in contact with the blondes center. "Calliope." She bucked her hips. "Damn it." She whined, needing to feel her wife's mouth on her. "I swear, I hate you." She huffed, flipping back on the bed.
"You love me." She couldn't stop laughing.
"No. I don't."
"Yes you do." She whispered as she slowly grazed her tongue over her wife's clit before looking back up to her. "Tell me you love me." She could feel the pleasure seep out between her legs just from teasing her wife.
Feeling Callie's tongue barely graze her clit sent shockwaves all over her body as the Latina's hot breath still lingered. "Calliope." She growled. "Please baby... Please." She begged.
"Tell me." She whispered, brushing her lips against the blondes clit, getting a loud whimper from her.
"Callie... fuck." She yelped, arching her back off the bed. She was so hot right now that her wife's breath on her sex was going to throw her over the edge.
Deciding to give in to her wife just a little. "Say it." She flattered her tongue on her clit, leaving it in place as she looked up to blue lustful eyes when she fidgeted underneath her.
"Goddamn it." She bucked her hips, feeling pleasure shoot through her body. "Calliope." She squeezed her legs around the brunettes head to keep her in place as she bucked against her wife's tongue.
Callie couldn't help but giggle at Arizona's aroused state which made the blonde wiggle that much more. Figuring the only way she'd unclamp her legs from around her head was to comply, she slowly began to suck on her throbbing clit, but it only made her squeeze her legs tighter as she bucked her sex into her face. Overpowering the blonde, she finally pulled back slightly. "You're gonna have to stop that unless you want to smother me with your vagina." She laughed. "My headstone would read, Death by vagina."
"Well, hurry it up or I'm going to flip you and fuck your mouth." She breathed, dropping her legs from around the brunettes head.
"Your mouth. Oh my god." She laughed. "You know, if I ever told anyone about your bedroom potty mouth they'd never believe me. Sweet, perky, innocent Arizona Robbins would never say things like that."
Hearing her wife was still doing a lot of talking and no licking, Arizona quickly turned the tables on the brunette before she even knew what was happening. Now Callie was the one on her back. "I'll do it." She said as she was on her hands and knees as her sex barely hovered over the brunettes mouth.
"No you won't." Callie wrapped her arms around the blondes waist and took dominance back as she flipped them back over so she was on top again. "You stay still or they'll be no coming for you." She growled, fighting the urge to fuck her wife into oblivion. Damn, she loved assertive Arizona.
"Callie." The blonde whined. She was driving her mad. No, she was beyond mad, this was a whole other level. Insane, furious, sexually frustrated, but yet so satisfied.
"This is going to be fun." She grinned, placing her arm on top of her wife's hip bones. "Relax baby." She kissed her mound. "Just feel me, okay."
"Okay." She panted, releasing the tension in her body as she flopped back on the bed to let her wife have her way.
"Just focus on my touch." She reached for her wife's hand and laid her arm back across her pelvic bone to try to hold her still.
"I'm trying." She whimpered, feeling her wife's fingers explore her folds before circling her entrance.
"This is going to be slow." She said as she ran her fingers back up through her wife's folds and around her clit before coming back down to her entrance. "No begging for me to go faster." She said as she gently entered her wife slowly with a single finger. "Just let me feel you." She said as she entered her wife completely. "And you feel me." She asked, wiggling her finger around inside.
"Ooooo." Arizona's body shook in pleasure. "Yes." She whimpered, sucking her bottom lip in between her teeth and biting down while trying to stem her release.
"That's my favorite spot." She curled her finger inside of her wife before slowly milking her spongy spot before withdrawing her finger and repeating the process at the same slow pace again, feeling her walls tighten with every slow thrust.
"Oh god." She moaned, thrashing her head side to side. "Calliope.." She panted.
"Just feel me baby." She whispered, laying a light kiss on her wife's clit as she kept up her slow pace inside her. "Let everything else go, love." She said, kissing the inside of her wife's thigh and adding a second finger inside of the blonde.
Arizona couldn't handle it any longer, her wife was going to cause her to blackout if she kept this slow methodical pace up on her. "Shit, Calliope." She moaned, fisting the sheet with her hand that wasn't clinched in the Latina's. "I'm gonna come, Calliope."
"Let go baby, let everything go." She whispered as she slowly laid her lips on the blondes clit and sucked it in her mouth helping the woman fall over the edge.
"Fuck... CALLIOPE.." She screamed as her upper body raised off the bed when she felt warmth from her release seep from her.
Callie felt her wife's orgasm before the blonde was even screaming her name. She knew with all the teasing, this was going to be an extremely gratifying task. Seconds before Arizona's climax hit, her arousal started to slowly pour from her. Knowing her wife's body well, Callie was in place and waiting on her delicious treat as she milked her for all she had.
"Oh...oooh... oh god. Oh god." Arizona cried when her wife continued to slowly thrust in and out of her drawling every ounce of pleasure out of her. "Jesus Christ." She panted, looking down between her legs, seeing her wife's face still buried between them. "I can't. I can't." She begged, feeling like her lungs were on fire. Tangling her hand in her wife's hair, she pulled a little forceful to get her to easy up. "Please." She whimpered. "I can't take anymore." She said, trying to back away from the brunette. Callie complied with her wife and withdrew her fingers from inside of her, but she couldn't stop lapping up the blondes arousal, causing her to flench with every lick of her tongue. "Please Callie, no more." She pushed her wife's face away from her center and finally crashed back on to the bed as the Latina came up and hovered above her.
"You're so beautiful." She smiled down at Arizona as the blonde had her eyes shut, breathing heavily while trying to come back down to earth after her splendid bliss.
"You were... trying to kill me." She said in between breathes.
"Just making memories, baby." She laughed, reaching for her hand. "Now it's my tur..." She was cut off by the sound of their daughter blaring through the speaker. "No. No no no." She whined, dropping her head on her wife's shoulder.
"She's just playing." Arizona quietly laughed, wrapping her arm around her wife's neck. "If you're quiet, I'd say we have another few minutes before she starts yelling.
"I can be quiet." Callie perked back up and grabbed her wife's wrist and guided it to her center. "It will only take a minute."
"But I want to take my time and love you." Arizona protested as she ran her fingers through brown curls.
"Tonight. You can love me all you want tonight, but please, right now just make me feel good." She whispered as she crashed her lips into the blondes.
Arizona moaned at the taste of herself on her wife's tongue as she invaded her mouth. After toying with the brunettes mound a few moments, she slowly brought her fingers down further and circled her throbbing clit.
"That feels so good baby." Callie whispered, pulling back from the kiss when they both became winded.
Arizona kept running her fingers around the brunettes nub as Callie's breaths became ragged. She wasn't ready for her wife to come yet, but she knew the louder Charlee became, the sooner she was going to be crying for one of them, so she kept on. Bringing her wife closer and closer to her high. "Come on baby."
"Oh god." Callie raised up on her knees as she straddled the blondes body still. Throwing her head back on her shoulders, she brought her hands up and squeezed her breasts as her wife quickened her pace.
"Come on, Calliope." Arizona laid under the brunette and watched her buck her hips into her hand. "Give it to me." She whispered as Callie threw herself back down on her and kissed the life out of her while her orgasm rolled through her in waves.
"Ari...zona." She whimpered, trying to keep her voice down after releasing the bottom pink lip she had clutched between her teeth. "Oh Jesus." She breathed, collapsing on the blonde.
"Arizona would be just fine." The blonde laughed circling her arms around the brunette as she came down from her high. "Happy Anniversary, Calliope." She whispered, embracing her wife. "Thank you for finding me."
"Happy Anniversary to you, too." She kissed her chest. "You found me." She mumbled into her neck as she wrapped her arms around the blonde the best she could. "So, thank you."
"How about we settle for we found each other?"
"Fine with me." She smiled. "You're my love, my life. Always and forever." Callie had said those words to her before, but for some reason they were making her a little emotional today.
"Me too, babe, me too." She kissed her shoulder. Today was a big day for them in more ways than one. They were up celebrating four years of being together last night and early this morning and today they were going to celebrate their daughter's first birthday.
"Who said your sex life dies when you have a baby?" Callie breathed, sliding off her wife's body and lacing her hand with the blondes.
"I don't know, but they lied." She laughed, reaching up to peck her wife's lips.
"I love you." She placed a kiss on the small scar on the blondes hand.
"I love you too."
"God that was so good. I wanna do it again." She said, pushing her wife down on the mattress and straddling her waist as they heard a cry come over the monitor.
"Ma-ie, Ma-ie."
"So much for that." Arizona laughed into her chest. "She's yelling for you."
"Ugh.. How come she says Ma or Ma-ma perfectly but I get Ma-ie."
"She's a baby, Calliope. She's trying her best." She giggled. "When she starts saying mommy correctly, you'll cry because you want her to call you Ma-ie."

"Honey?" Callie yelled through the foyer before she headed out to work. "I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute." Arizona yelled from the kitchen. "We made you a cup of coffee to take with you." She said, coming through the foyer with the eleven month old resting on her hip.
"Good, I need it today." She pouted. "I would almost call in sick, I'm so tired for some reason." She sighed, taking the travel cup from her wife. "Thanks." She leaned in and kissed her before doing the same to her daughter.
"You're welcome. Tell mommy bye, Char." She looked down at her daughter. "Say bye-bye."
"Bye-bye, buggy." Callie leaned in to give her daughter an Eskimo kiss, only to have her turn from her. "Ma." She slapped her mama's chest before burrowing into it, letting the brunette know she didn't want her. Charlee had been saying Ma-ma for over a month now and it was killing Callie because she wouldn't say mommy, which granted was a very hard word for a one year old to say much less an eleven month old.
"Easy." Arizona told her as she grabbed the infants hand. "Give mommy a kiss."
"Ma." She raised up to give her mama a huge open mouth kiss on her chin.
"Say mommy." Callie cooed to her as she sucked on her wife's chin. "Mom-my." She broke it down for her.
"Ma."
"Thank you, baby, now give mommy one." She leaned the little Latina closer to her wife. Just as Callie was about to get a kiss from her daughter, Charlee turned her head and giggled. "Someone's being ugly to their mommy."
"She's so stubborn."
"That's okay, mommy, I still love you." Arizona hugged her wife's side. "Go save other sick babies."
"I really have to go babe." She leaned in and kissed her wife's pink lips one last time. "I'll call you later, love you both." She blew one last kiss and picked her keys up off the table and was out of the door.
"Ma." Charlee's face turned sour when the door closed. "ie." She held her hands out towards the door and began to cry.
"What did you?" Arizona questioned. She wasn't sure, but she thought she was trying to yell for her wife.
"Ma." She whimpered after a beat. "ie."
"Callie." Arizona rushed out onto the porch as the brunette was getting into her jeep.
"What?" She turned when she heard her wife's call and her daughters cries.
"Ma-ie." Charlee held her hand out in front of her for her mother to get her.
She stood there frozen for a moment until she realized. "Did she just?" Callie rushed back to the steps where they were standing.
"It's not mommy exactly, but she was crying for you after you closed the door." Arizona said as Callie took the baby from her arms.
"Say Mommy." She held her daughter.
"Ma." She sniffed. "ie." Laying her head in the Latina's chest.
"She said it." Callie welled up with tears. "It's not mommy, but it's enough."
"She did." The blonde dried her wife's tears out of the corners of her eyes.
"Aww. Mommy's got you baby." Callie hugged her daughter tight and walked up the steps. "Ari, call Teddy and tell her I have to take a sick day. I've came down with a bad case of mommy." She said, walking into the house to go snuggle with her daughter. "My baby needs her mommy."
"Lord." Arizona laughed. "That girl has her wrapped." She shook her head before following them inside the house.
Present day
"I know." She said as her wife hovered about her. "Hey. What's wrong?" She asked when she saw tears collecting in blue eyes.
"My baby's growing up." She pouted as she let out a cry. "I can't believe she's one today, Calliope."
"Don't cry." Callie shook her head and looked away from her wife before she started crying too. "You're going to make me cry, she can't have two blubbering moms today." The brunette pouted too. "It's her day."
"I know."
"Ma-ie." Charlee began to pout when her yells went unanswered.
"Mommy's coming baby." She yelled out, crawling out from under her wife, slipping on her panties and an old shirt.
"You were defiantly coming a few minutes ago." Arizona laughed as she threw on a shirt.
"Shut up." She smacked her wife's ass as she walked away. "Change the sheets, you ruined the bed." She smiled as the blonde blushed. "You better hurry because we're getting morning cuddles before the birthday girl gets breakfast." Callie yelled over her shoulder.
Walking into the nursery she saw that Charlee had stripped off her clothes sometime during the night. The first time she had done that they were baffled but later Barbara explained how Arizona used to do that same thing. Her mother-in-law even said her wife would even take her diaper off and run around naked. She was glad her daughter hadn't realized that one yet, but she felt it was only a matter of time before there was a little naked girl running around everywhere. "Baby Buggy."
"Ma-ie." Charlee stood up in her bed with her quilt in her hand, bouncing in excitement when she saw her mommy.
"My nakey girl." Callie laughed when she walked up to the crib. "Happy Birthday, bug." As soon as she picked her up and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. "I can't believe you're growing up on Mommy so fast." Charlee dropped her blanket and held her hands out by her side. "Do you wanna fly?" She asked her, feeling that the baby had filled her diaper up sometime during the night. "Let mommy put a clean diaper on your little butt first, okay? And then we'll fly." She said, laying the wiggle worm on the changing table. "Are you going to let me change your diapy today or are you going to try to squirm away like usual?" She asked the little girl as she reached for her pacifier that had dropped down on the floor when she yelled for her mommy. "Guess not." She said, grabbing another pacifier off the changing table and handing it to her daughter and watching her stick the soother in her mouth. "You love that thing more than Mama and I." She said, quickly changing her daughters diaper before she decided to try to squirm off the little table.
Taking the soother out of her mouth when she heard her mothers name. "Ma." She said, throwing her hands around in the air.
"Your Ma is waiting on you baby girl." She said, picking her daughter up. "Wanna fly?"
"Fy."
"Okay you ready." She held her up in the air when Charlee held her arms out to the side. "We'll fly to Mama, okay?"
"Wa." The girl laughed as her mother carried her through her room like she was flying before leaving the nursery. Trying to make a plane noise with her mouth, the one year old only accomplished dribbling drool down on her mothers face.
"Charlee.." Callie couldn't help but laugh when the wetness fell on her forehead.
"Ma-Ma." She kicked her legs as her mom flew her into the bedroom. "Wa."
"Hey, there's my beautiful birthday baby." Arizona sat down on the bed after quickly stripping the matress of the wet sheet. "Are you Wonder Woman today big girl?" She asked as Callie faked a crash landing on the bed in front of her. "Happy birthday baby Charlee." She tickled her belly, only seeing the infants face turn sour as she picked her up and got her morning hugs. "Her arms are tired, give her a minute to rest and maybe she'll do it again, right mommy?" She asked as Callie laid across the bed in front of them.
"If you're a good girl, we'll play super hero while mama cooks you Mickey Mouse birthday pancakes." Seeing her mom laying in front of her caused her to wiggle out of her mama's arms and flop on her belly beside the Latina. Letting out a small grunt, she pushed her butt up in the air. It was something she did when she wants her back to be scratched.
"She's as bad as you are, Callie." The blonde laughed when her daughter started growling when the brunette stopped scratching her back.
"Don't you growl at me little lady." Callie lightly smacked her bottom before continuing to rub the little girls back.
"Hmm.. that's funny, you growl at me too. Just like that actually." She laughed.
"Shut up." She smirked.
"Num.."
"Are you hungry?" Arizona asked, tickling the little ones sides while she tried to bury herself into her mommy to get away from her mama.
"Nuhhh." She held her hand up. "Op."
"You don't tell your mama to stop, missy." Callie patted her butt.
"Op." She crawled away from her mommy and was now making her way up the blonde as Callie tried to grab her. "Op." She pointed the pacifier she had in her hand at her mother. "Ma-ie." She said after a beat.
"Don't be ugly to your mommy, she's just playing with you."
"Let's go get breakfast started before someone gets in a grumpy mood and ruins the day." Callie stretched her body before standing from the bed to start their busy day.
The rest of the morning was spent having breakfast together before decorating the house and back yard with pink and white Minnie Mouse party supplies for the one year olds birthday party. Daniel and Carlos soon arrived after breakfast to help the girls set up tables and chairs for the get together while the grandmothers helped keep the baby entertained while her mothers and aunt Aria finished making sure everything was perfect for the day.
Soon as they finished decorating they had Aria pick up the Minnie Mouse cakes while they quickly took a shower together before getting their daughter dressed in her one year old Minnie onesie with a light pink tutu just before their friends showed up. Charlee wasn't one for big crowds of people so she hung close to her mothers as the party kicked off. All their friends had showed for the celebration, including Meredith and Derek accompanied by the newest member of their little family, nine month old Zola. They had adopted her a few months back when she had showed up at the hospital after someone had found her in a restaurant dumpster. Derek had to run some tests on the little girl and fell in love with her immediately, so he asked Meredith if they could adopted her and she happily agreed. So now, the girls had play dates with the McDreamy's at least twice a month.
"Come one big girl." Arizona said, kneeling down in the grass as she tried to get Charlee to come to her so they can enjoy the cake. The child was no stranger to the sweet goodness because her mama would sneak her bites often from her plate. "Cake time." She asked as her daughter slowly wobbled to her. She still wasn't the greatest at walking especially on the fluffy grass.
2 months ago
"Calliope?" Arizona tilted her head over to peer down the hall of the foyer when she heard the front door open "Is that you, baby?"
"Yes." She said, throwing her keys and purse down on the table beside the door. "Honey, I'm home." She echoed out as she saw her little bug crawl past the entrance way of the kitchen following River. Charlee hadn't gave her mom a second glance as she was following behind her dog.
While crawling up behind River, Charlee heard footsteps as she was crawling to the animals water bowl, looking back she saw her mommy getting closer, causing her to squeal out in excitement.
"Come here you baby elephant." Callie chased her down and picked her up and threw her in the air gently before getting some kisses.
"I'm never going to live that down am I?" Arizona couldn't help but laugh.
"Elephant, watermelon and chunker are only a few of the names you called her when she was trying to come into this world." Callie laughed, leaning over to kiss her wife hello. "Although, chunker was my favorite one." She giggled. "And when she's old enough Mommy's gonna tell her how mama gave birth to said chunker." She teased.
"Shut up." She swatted the dish towel at the brunettes waist. "She's not a chunker. She's tiny."
"I.." She stressed. "..know that." She reminded her wife. "I wasn't the one calling her names as she was trying to make her entrance."
"You try squeezing something like that outta your vagina."
"Name the place and time, baby." She winked. "Have you been good for mama this evening?" She questioned, as the baby yelled and kicked her feet to get down.
"I think she was a handful for Mamaw today." Arizona said as she stood over the stove and readied their dinner. "Daddy said she kept getting into everything."
"I'm sorry I didn't get to pick her up from your parents. I know you had to work late too. My surgery didn't go as planned at all."
"It's okay. Daddy had to run to town, he dropped her off at the clinic as I was leaving, so I didn't have to pick her up."
"Well that's good." Callie sat her daughter on the ground. As soon as she hit the floor, Charlee was on the go again. She didn't really start what you would call crawling until a few weeks ago, for a month she would just scoot around on the floor, but after a while, she was all over the house exploring. "I missed you today." She came up behind her wife and hugged her around the waist.
"Missed you too." Arizona had a packed schedule during her day as well as Callie did so they didn't even get to share lunch together. "Dinners about ready if you want to wash Charlee and yourself up."
"What are we having?"
"Something you've been asking for for the past few weeks. My homemade mac and cheese."
"Mmmm... We'll wash up." She turned around to find her nosy daughter. "Love bug. Where are you?" She walked around the kitchen island. Seeing her daughter standing beside the kitchen table. "Arizona." Callie gasped, motioning for her wife to come. "She's trying again. Maybe she'll get it." She said as the girl held onto the table leg.
"Be quiet." She lightly smacked her arm. "If we say anything to her she'll get distracted and fall." Charlee had attempted walking a couple times in the past few weeks, but every time she would fall as soon as she let go.
"Come on, bug." Callie whispered to herself as Charlee slightly held her arm out from her trying to balance herself.
"It's already an improvement. She's not holding onto anything."
"Shhh.." She hushed her. Charlee had her eyes set on one goal and that was getting to the dogs dish bowl. For some reason the water inside fascinated her, but every time she'd get close enough to the bowl to explore one of her mommies would always stop her.
"She's going to do it." Arizona whispered as the baby lifted her right foot in the air. "She's gonna do it, Calliope." She said excitedly.
"Ohly because she thinks we're not paying attention. She wants that damn bowl." She watched as the little Latina placed her foot slowly on the floor in front of her.
"Just one more step." The blonde bounced on her toes from behind her wife. "Come on, princess." She said as Charlee tried to lift her other foot.
"She did it." Callie yelled out and threw her arms up in the air, causing the baby to look towards them and loose her balance, crashing to the floor. "It was only a step. But it was a huge milestone." She went and picked up her daughter. "You did it Mija."
"Yay, princess." Arizona clapped her hands as the baby squealed out, not really knowing what the excitement was all about but she was happy no less. "You did it, big girl." She pinched her cheek.
Present day
"We have to put your blanket down so you don't get it filthy. You don't won't cake all over it do you?" She said, trying to take the quilt from her daughter's hands only causing her to cry. Since she had received her cover, Charlee became attached to it and wouldn't go anywhere without it.
Christmas 2017
"Oh, hot damn." Callie flopped down on the makeshift bed she had made earlier in the night. Tonight was just like any other Christmas Eve night. As promised, after throwing a party with all their friends, she had made a bed of pillows and blankets for their little snuggled time by the fire while they waited for Santa to visit.
Both moms had been super excited to spend their first Christmas with the baby. They went all out and decorated the inside and outside of the house with Christmas decorations. It honestly looked like Santa's village by the time they were finished with the house. A few weeks before the holiday, all three of them went out and picked out the perfect tree for Charlee's first Christmas. As usual, they decorated the Douglas fir after Callie had went out and bought a few new ornaments for the occasion. Picking up a Mommy and me, and a Mama and me ornament, she also got a baby's first Christmas ornament. Arizona had laughed when Callie had bought extra clear bulbs. She told her wife one ornament was plenty for the baby, but the Latin mom couldn't decide which would be the cutest so she had to get a precious memories baby's first Christmas and some clear bulbs to make homemade ornaments.
After getting home with their purchase, Callie went about making a few ornaments. By the time she was finished, she had a bulb with Charlee's footprint, with the year on it and another clear bulb with her hospital bracelet and little hospital hat inside. After decorating the tree, Arizona had brought an ornament she had purchased without the brunettes knowledge. It was a white heart with a dove across the left side, carrying a banner that read, 'In our hearts forever.' With Nana and the year of her birth and death date on the bottom. When she gave it to her wife, there was some hugs and a few tears before the brunette hung it next to her brother-in-laws memory ornament.
"I don't know about you." Arizona breathed, wiping the sweat from her brow as she tried to catch her breath after spending a few rounds of lovemaking by the crackling fire on this late slightly snowy holiday night or early morning, however anyone wanted to see it. "I think we get better and better every Christmas." She grinned as she threw her right leg over the brunettes hips to straddled her.
"Oh god, not again. I'm too tired." Callie whined, shaking her head.
"Calliope Robbins." Arizona forcefully grabbed her wife's wrists and pinned them above her head. "Are you pussing out on me?" She hovered over her wife's face.
"No." She laughed. "I just have nothing left. I'm spent." She tried to wiggle out of her wife's hold. "You have killed me, woman."
"Are you saying I don't always turn you on?" She questioned, looking down at the brunette slyly.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. You are a sex feen."
"You're a damn liar." Arizona leaned down and captured her lips in a heated kiss, letting go of the Latina's hands she cupped her neck and deepened the touch.
Callie of course was becoming turned on yet again when her wife explored her mouth. Taking matters into her own hands, she wrapped her arms around the blondes back and quickly flipped them over as her hair cascaded down around them. "You always turn me on baby." She purred into her ear before nipping on the lob. "Not a day goes by that I don't need to change my panties when you look my way with that breathtaking smile you have. I know it's only for me." She grinned, pecking pink lips.
"I thought you were tired?" She said, flustered.
"I lied." She laughed, nudging the blondes nose. "You up for it?"
Looking over at the monitor when she heard a soft cry. "I was, but your daughter isn't." She laughed when Callie huffed and flopped back down on top of her.
"She's yours tonight." She mumbled into her chest. "I'm tired."
"Nope." Arizona smacked her on her thigh. "I did it last, it's your turn."
"I'm naked, my robe is upstairs." She rolled off her wife and pulled the cover up over herself.
"You're pjs are right there." She said, getting a growl from the brunette. "You're full of excuses tonight." The blonde said, sitting up and reaching for her silk robe. "Too tired for sex, your robe is upstairs." She mumbled, slipping the silk material on. "What's next? You don't love us anymore?"
"If you don't hush, that very well may be next."
Arizona stood from the bed and made her way out of the room, dodging presents on her way out. "Oomph." Slipped from her lips when she tripped over a small package. Hearing her wife, Callie couldn't help but giggle. "You suck." Arizona picked up a pillow and thew it at her.
"Ow.." Callie laughed as she buried herself in the bed of covers as her wife went upstairs to tend to the baby.
The brunette was just about asleep when her wife flopped back down on the pile of covers beside her. Arizona held the baby up near the brunettes head and let her grab a handful of her mothers hair.
"Owwww..." She groaned, grabbed at the annoyance. "Charlee." She whined, rolling over when she felt the little girls hand with a fist full of her hair.
"Do you still love us mommy?" Arizona couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll have to think about it." She yawned.
"Well I suggest you get your pajamas on while you think about it, because Charlee and I have decided to have a slumber party. Right big girl?" She asked, laying down in the bed and cuddling into her daughter.
"I think I can deal." Callie smiled, grabbing her red plaid 'Robbins Family Christmas' pajamas Arizona specially made for them for the special occasion. She could never turn down some snuggle time with her family no matter how wore out she was.
Before long the family of three were all cuddled by the fire and fast asleep. Callie didn't move an inch throughout the rest of the night until her wife woke her and the baby up the next morning so they could have their annual Christmas breakfast of coffee and fresh cinnamon rolls from Maria's recipe and some rice cereal for the infant. This was only the second time in her life that Callie was spending Christmas without her grandmother and when Arizona brought her breakfast this morning, she couldn't help but be a little bereaved.
After eating, the blonde suggested they get dinner on because before they knew it their family would be arriving and they didn't want to have to prepare everything while they were here.
Callie walked into the kitchen after giving the baby a quick morning bath before everyone showed up. Turning on Pandora on her phone and placed it in the iHome dock that was sitting on the counter, she placed the baby in her bouncer by them on the floor and she smiled when she heard the beat of the music. She knew they needed to get their Christmas dinner started, but she really needed to dance with her wife for a minute.
I, I been gone I been gone too long singing my songs on the road. Another town one more show and I'm coming home.
She sauntered up behind Arizona, who was currently chopping up vegetables.
Don't give a damn what these keys are for I'm gonna knock down that front door, and
Pressing her front up against her back, she blocked her wife against the counter. Inhaling her scent, she buried her face in the back of the her head, letting it linger just like her smell.
"What are you doing?" Arizona chuckled.
"Shhh..."
I'ma find out what that house is made of. It's been too many nights since it's felt us make love.
"Calliope, we need to get th..."
"Shhhh..." She purred again by whispering in her ear as she placed her left hand gently on the blondes waist, running her right hand up her side and down her arm, halting when hers rested it top of Arizona's.
I wanna rock some Sheetrock, knock some pictures off the wall. Love you baby, like a wrecking ball.
Taking the knife from her, she laid it on the cutting board before she slowly grabbed the blondes hand again and brought it up to her own neck as she ran her own hand back down her wife's arm and side, eliciting goosebumps all over her body.
You, Look at you send me one more shot sitting on a bathroom sink. Damn you really turn me on painting your toenails pink. Easy baby before you say but if I can make it just one more day, and
Stepping back when she felt her wife do the same. "Calliope." She whispered, turning her face into her wife's neck as the brunette softly ran her hand over her body. Her intimate touch was conveying all they loved that she had for her.
That old house is gonna be shaking. I hope those bricks and boards can take it. But I won't be surprised if the whole damn place just falls. I'm gonna rock you baby, like a wrecking ball.
"Just listen to the music, baby." She swayed them in their stance. "Move with me." Both hands were now placed on the blondes hips as they slowly moved their bodies.
And that old house is gonna be shaking. Rafter and rocking foundation quaking. Crash right through the front door, back you up against the wall. Love you baby, take it right there baby, rock you baby like a wrecking ball.
Arizona stayed in her wife's arms a few more moments after the song finished, before finally turning around and kissing her wife in a tender, yet loving kiss. "What was that for?"
"Just wanted a little slow dance with my girl before the day started." She kissed her on her cheek. "Merry Christmas." She whispered, pressing her forehead against her wife's.
"Merry Christmas to you too, baby." She hugged her around the waist when they heard a rattling beside them. Looking down, they saw their seven month old playing with her rattle that was attached to her seat.
"She's getting so big." Callie sighed.
"I know. I remember two Christmases ago when we only had aspirations of a first Christmas with our baby? I never thought it would take us two years to get here, but we finally did."
"I know. I'm just sorry I didn't want to do it sooner. I was stupid."
"Don't say that. As much as I wanted to have one as soon as we got married, I think we had her when we were meant to have her."
"You're saying that's why you had the miscarriage? Because it just wasn't meant for us to have one then?" Callie questioned.
"I am saying exactly that." She sighed. "I think what's meant to happen will happen, and she was meant to be in our lives first for some reason."
"Why do you have to be so reasonable all the time?" She looked down at the blonde.
Shrugging, she smacked her wife's butt. "Cause I'm cute, and I'm awesome!" She walked back to the counter to finish chopping.
"I hate you." She called out before kneeling down and picking the baby up.
"Yeah, right." She scoffed, chopping up the onions again. "Like I said earlier. You're a terrible liar." She looked over to her wife who was playing with the baby. "Calliope, get your ass busy."
"But she wanted me." She said, sitting at the island, playing with the baby.
"She did not, she was fine playing in her bouncer." She laughed. "Get over here and help me. I'll never get this finished by myself."
"But mama, it's Christmas." Callie turned Charlee around to face her wife. "We want presents now!"
"Oh god." She turned back around and huffed. "Is it going to be like this every Christmas?"
"Probably." Callie laughed, finally getting up to help her wife cook.
An hour later the turkey was in the oven and most everything was ready to put on, so they gathered around the Christmas tree to open a few presents before their parents arrived. Lucia and Barbara both insisted that Charlee couldn't open presents until they were there to watch, even though it would be Callie and Arizona opening the gifts while their daughter laid around and played with the paper if given the chance.
"My goodness, we've opened several of her presents and there is still toys and the gifts galore." Arizona said.
"Yeah." She laughed. "I knew she'd be spoiled with presents, but I didn't think they'd literally take over our living room." She shook her head. Each of their friends that were over last night had brought Charlee presents and they were all currently in every empty space there was available in the living room except on their makeshift bed.
"Your parents nor mine have brought theirs either." She chuckled. "Maybe we could take half of these and save them for next year?"
"Arizona Michelle, no way." Callie laughed while she sat on the floor by the tree with her wife seated in front of her with the baby seated between her legs playing with a piece of wrapping paper. "She's gonna be spoiled rotten." She leaned in close to her daughter. "Right buggy? No regifting."
"It's kinda odd, you think?"
"What?"
"Not buying each other stuff this year."
"Yeah, a little." Callie snuck her hand under the tree and pulled out a gift she had for her wife.
"Calliope." She rolled her eyes when the brunette handed her a gift. "We said no presents this year."
"I know." She shrugged. "But I didn't feel right. I had to buy you something, but don't worry. This is the only one."
"Well.." Arizona leaned over and grabbed a small box that was sitting on a lower tree branch. "Charlee may have bought something for you." She smiled handing her wife the box as she took the offered one from her.
"Arizona, no presents this year." She repeated her wife words.
"Shut it, mouth." She laughed and opened the gift box her wife had wrapped. "Calliope." She scolded her when she saw the Chanel gift bag. "This is expensive." She said, pulling the small pale pink purse out of its sack.
"Shut it, mouth." She laughed while watching her wife look at the purse. "I saw it when I was shopping for Aria and Teddy, and it made me think of you so I had to get it."
"Well, I love it. I've always wanted a Chanel. Thank you, honey." Arizona leaned in and pecked her wife's red lips.
"You're welcome." Callie replied as she opened the small box revealing mother and daughter necklaces. Callie's was a circle pendent with a small heart cut out, while Charlee's was made of the little heart that was cut from her mothers necklace. "Arizona, it's beautiful."
"Well it's no Chanel, but I thought it was so cute."
"It perfect." She smiled. "Thanks babe." She said, handing her necklace to the blonde and turning around for her to clasp it around her neck.
"Now it's perfect." She winked. "And when this little one gets old enough to not use it as a chew toy, she can wear hers." Lately when one of her mothers was holding her, Charlee tended to use their necklace to chew on while she was in their arms. Now that she already had two teeth at seven months old, they tried to keep her from doing it because she had chewed Arizona's until it broke.
"Thanks." She said, looking down at her necklace. "Thank you too, love bug." Callie picked her up and held her above her head. "Are you having a good Christmas so far?"
"I think that's a definite yes." Arizona laughed when the baby yelled. "Okay, how about we put her down and let her have some fun on the floor. There's something else I want to give you." She stood up and motioned for her wife to sit on the couch.
"No more presents, Arizona."
"Calliope, really?" She shook her head. "You bought me a Chanel and you're telling me no more presents. Sit your ass down." She pointed.
"Yes, ma'am." She grinned. She was all for more presents, but Arizona really didn't have to buy her anything. All that mattered to her anymore is that they were together and happy on this holiday.
"First off, I want to tell you a gift I have for you but it's still not here yet. I had it specially made and it came in but it was the wrong size so I had to take it back and get them to order another."
"Okay?"
"It was a display frame for your Nana's old quilt. I had it specially made to fit and I thought it would be nice to be able to display it on the wall. Maybe in our room?" She shrugged.
"You really did that?" She looked up at her wife.
"Yeah. If you don't want to hang it that's fine too, but we can at least store it inside so it won't get ruined."
"That's." Callie couldn't believe how thoughtful her wife was. "That's sweet. Thank you, Arizona." She leaned in and hugged her.
"You're welcome, babe." She sighed in relief. She didn't want her wife to get upset or mad even because she knew that Callie hadn't touched the box of items she had of her Nana's since the day they received them.
"Okay." She said, picking up two gift boxes. "Last two. This one is Charlee's, but I want you to open it for her." She said, sitting it on the brunettes lap before sitting on the coffee table in front of her. "After you open both, I'll explain."
Tearing at the paper, Callie opened the gift box and pulled out the tissue paper. "It's beautiful, Arizona." She took the blanket out of the box and held it up. One side was navy blue with polka dots, similar to the dress Callie had of her Nana's. The other side was white, pink and a few navy fabric pieces all sown together to make a quilt. "She'll love it." She said, folding it back up nearly and placing it in the box.
"She will." The blonde agreed as she handed her wife the next one. "This one is yours."
"It's heavy."
"Yeah." She chuckled, watching the brunette tear through the paper and open the box, again pulling tissue paper out to get to the gift. "I get a quilt too?" She grinned, taking the blanket out and holding it up. The quilt was white with black and white pattern squares all over with some teal accents. "Absolutely beautiful, Arizona." She smiled.
"Good. I'm glad."
"So, what's the significance of them both?"
"Well." She said, taking Charlee's back out of the box as her wife sat down. "First things first. I made them."
"You did this?" Callie questioned. "It's...it's..." She shook her head. "Really?"
"Yeah." She scoffed.
"No, I don't mean it bad. It's just... They're both amazing. You.. you did amazing. I'm blown away." She said admiring the pieces. "When did you do this?"
"Well on the days you worked and I stayed home, Char and I would go visit Mamaw and Poppy sometimes. Mama had to help me at first because I had no idea what I was doing."
"This is great babe, I love it so much." She leaned in and kissed the blonde. "Thank you."
"Well, don't thank me yet. You've not let me finish." She said, turning the baby's quilt over.
"Okay." She chuckled. "Sorry, I'm listening."
"All this blue material on the back." She ran her hand over the blue polka dot fabric. "And the four front panels here." She said pointing at the navy anchor patches. "That's material from some of Maria's dresses." She said as her wife's face dropped.
"What?" She furrowed her brows in confusion.
"Well, you received your Nana's blanket and you wanted to use it, but you couldn't. And after thinking about it, I thought, why not make you one, so I called your mom up and told her what I wanted to do, so she sent me some of her old clothes."
"That's... really?" She asked taking the small blanket.
"Yeah." Arizona confirmed. "And yours." She said holding some of the material.
"Mine is too?"
"Yeah. These black and white panels are from an apron she used to use your mom said. And those ones are from an old dress." She pointed at the other black and white pattern. "And the small teal accents are from a very old pair of her pants."
"I remember her using an apron that looked like that." Callie said as tears welled up in her eyes. "You.." She was in awe of her wife. "This represents two of my favorite things... you and my Nana." She looked up to the blonde. "You don't know how much this means to me, Arizona."
"I do, too." She said as she watched Callie sniff the material. "It probably smells like me now." She chuckled. "I've basically wore the thing for hours at a time trying to sow it all together while Mama watched Charlee."
"It smells like a little of both." The brunette chuckled, wiping her eyes. "I can't believe you made this for me and Charlee." She said, getting up off the couch to hug her wife. "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome." Arizona said as they embraced. "Now you both will always have a piece of her to cuddle with."
"Yeah." She sniffed in her wife's neck.
"You okay?" She asked, caressing her wife's back.
"Yeah. I'm okay." She kissed the blondes neck. "Will you cuddle with me under it before everyone comes?"
"Let's check on the turkey and then we'll snuggle on the couch and watch A Christmas Story until everyone gets here."
Present day
"Come on Linus, give the quilt up." Callie knelt down with her little family by the high chair they had placed out in the grass for her to eat her cake in.
"Nuuuh." She whined.
"Bug, listen." Callie said, picking her up and sitting her on her knee. "You want cake?" She asked. Charlee could never get enough of sweets just like her wife. "We will give you a whole cake if you let aunt Teddy hold your blankly and she'll give you the cake." She pointed at the woman who was walking out with Charlee's small Minnie Mouse cake they had made all for her to dig into.
The little Latina didn't understand her mother but when she saw a her aunt holding the cake she quickly let it go of the material.
"Come on, sweets." Teddy grinned at her niece as she walked up to her. "You're just like your mama." She laughed when she reached out for the treat.
Arizona lifted her daughter into the high chair without any fuss as Teddy lowered the cake down in the chair table. "Nummm.." She mumbled patting her hand gently on the cake top.
"Wait, baby. We need to sing happy birthday to you first." Callie said moving her hand away, thanking god they decided to forgo the candle.
"Num."
"We better sing while we have a chance." Arizona laughed at her daughter's grin on her face as she patted the cake.
"You two get on each side of her so we can take pictures." Aria said, stepping in closer so she could get some good shots of her niece devouring the cake.
After getting in place beside their birthday girl, they all sang to the baby as she sat there focused on the cake. Before they were even finished, she had already started playing in the quickly crumbling cake.
"Mama usually can't wait to dig in either big girl." She said as she was knelt down watching her daughter eat as soon the song was over.
"Op." She mumbled with her fist in her mouth as she pressed the other into her mamas face, getting chocolate cake and icing all over her face. She didn't want any distractions as she played in it.
"Charlee." Callie couldn't help but giggled at her wife's misfortune. "What have we said about that word." She scolded her daughter, but she couldn't help but turn her head and laugh.
"You think that's funny Calliope." Arizona scooped up a big handful of cake and reached around and smacked it right in her wife's pie hole, all the while Aria is snapping picture after picture.
"Ariz.." She gasped in shock as everyone looked on.
"Don't do it." The blonde saw the look in her wife's eyes. "This is about Charlee, so behave." She pointed.
"Me? You should.." Callie slowly took a handful of cake. ".. have thought about that before you smacked me in the mouth with a chunk."
Charlee on the other hand didn't care what her mommies were doing. All she cares about was stuffing her face with sugar before someone came along and ended her little party.
"Don't do it, Calliope." She warned her again. "I'd hate to have to hurt you right here in front of everyone. I'm not afraid to hit a woman." She said, backing up as Callie slowly paced forward. "Your daughter started it, so blame her." She tried. "If you love me you won't do it." She said, quickly turning and running from her wife.
"I love you, but not that much, battleship." She was right on her heels. Grabbing the back of the blondes jeans when she got close enough, she brought her right hand around and smeared the cake all over Arizona's face as their friends started yelling for Arizona to retaliate.
The blonde quickly turned after she got a face full of cake and grabbed Callie's face, wiping hers all over the brunettes smearing the icing everywhere as they all shared laughs when her wife picked her up and twirled her around.
"We should get back to the birthday girl." Arizona whispered, wrapping her arms around her wife's waist and licking the icing from her wife's nose after a few minutes. "Someone's going to be up all night from a sugar high."
"Now look, you ruined pictures." Callie huffed." Pushing her wife's shoulder.
"Well I could lick it all off your face if you want? I'm not sure how you'd feel about your parents watching though?"
"Shut up." She smacked her arm. "You will make this up to me later."
"How?"
" I have some ideas. I suggest you don't eat a lot of cake today, because you will be eating it off my body tonight." She said as she left her wife's embrace and walked back towards their daughter.
"Yes, dear." She grinned as she followed and wiped her face the towel her mother retrieved for them.
"Okay now that you two look decent again, kneel down so I can get a few pictures before you clean her up." Aria said waiting on the two.
"You're so bossy." Arizona leaned down beside her daughter as did Callie.
Looking over to her mama, Charlee held her hand out to her to offer her a bite. The blonde cringed when she saw her daughter's filthy hands but opened her mouth for a bite anyway. The little toddler had played in the cake so much it was beginning to look like a mud pie on her tray. "Yummy." Arizona laughed as she did the same to her mommy.
"You two look so ridiculous." Teddy laughed when yet again both woman's faces were covered in cake.
"Don't laugh, you're next Teds. You ready for it?" Arizona looked over to her five months pregnant best friend as she wiped the chocolate goo off her face.
"Oh god. I'm scared as hell." She said. She was anxious, but yet so excited. Thankfully Arizona had instilled reassurance in her. Teddy always wanted to be a mom, but now the time was nearing she was nervous. Especially for when her husband would be traveling for a few weeks at a time during baseball season, but Barbara and Arizona assured her that they would be there for support.
"You'll be fine. If I can do it, anyone can." She winked at her friend.
Callie found herself in the kitchen after everyone left that evening. She had just washed a few dishes that were left over from the party before putting all the food away. Drying her hands on the dish towel in her hands, she walked over to the French doors and looked out into her back yard where the treehouse stood that her and Daniel spent a long time finishing. Three years ago when her and her wife started celebrating the day they met, they never imagined how important this single day would become. They always imagined celebrating it at the river year in and year out. Now, their anniversary would always consist of celebrating their daughter instead of each other and to be honest, neither mother would have it any other way.
The brunette averted her gaze and watched Charlie and River run around as her daughter crawled after them. After everyone left, Arizona had took Charlee and went out to feed the chickens and then let the dogs out to play. Every once in a while the little Latina would try to walk after the animals, but she quickly learned crawling was still faster for her at the moment.
Hearing a shriek from her daughter she walked closer to the opened door and leaned against the frame as the blonde ran behind the little girl and swooped her up in her arms and threw her in the air while the dogs ran and jumped around them. "I got you." She heard her wife say.
Callie couldn't imagine a better life for herself. Four years ago on this day her life seemed great, but she knew it was lacking something, something that she couldn't put her finger on. When she finally took some time for her self, that missing something fell right into her lap, or should she say stumbled into her camping spot? She chuckled thinking back to their meeting. Little did she know, suturing up a hand could lead to the best thing in her life.
A few minutes later, Arizona had flopped down on the grass as she watched Charlee continue to chase after the dogs, not even noticing her wife walking up behind her. Seeing the taller woman's shadow, Arizona leaned her head back to see Callie standing behind her. "Hi."
"Hi you." She leaned down and kissed her lips before takin her place behind her wife.
"You finished?"
"Yep." She circled her arms around the blonde as she leaned into her embrace. They both sat their quietly watching Charlee lay down to rest with the dogs. Her head was propped up on Charlie's side as she put her feet on top of Rivers head.
"What are you thinking?" Arizona asked quietly after several minutes while they all rested in the grass.
Taking a deep breath, she shook her head before turning her nose in the blondes hair and inhaling. "Just how blessed I feel." She said, resting her chin on her shoulder as her daughter decided to crawl up her wife's legs and rest her head on Her mama's shoulder.
"Me too." Her daughter's butt rested on her forearm as she held her. "I can't believe she's one today." She said softly as the little girl buried her head in the crook of her neck. A sure sign she was ready to drift off to sleep.
"Me neither." Callie whispered.
"What's going on in that beautiful mind, Calliope?" She asked when she heard her wife sigh in her ear.
"Nothing."
"Bull shit." She said whispered, squeezing her wife's thigh. "Tell me?"
Callie had been thinking this for the past month or so and as the days kept passing by the subject took over more and more of her thoughts. Turing her head into the blondes. "I want more." She whispered, her lips grazing the blondes ear.
"More what baby?" She gently rocked side to side to smooth the little Latina. Charlee had been on the go since her little feet hit the floor after her nap before the party and she was exhausted.
"As much as I love that it's just us and bug, I want more. More of this. First birthdays, first words, first steps. I'm ready to carry your baby."
"My baby, huh?" Arizona asked, the imagines of her pregnant wife walking around barefoot in their kitchen with Charlee on her hip as she went about making dinner popped in her head.
"Our baby."
