I woke up the next morning after a rough night of sleeping. I had planned to go back to the hospital today to work on Arizona's leg and I know Sofia will want to spend time with Arizona since she will be back to school tomorrow and won't be able to see her as much during the week. Now I'm not sure what to do. I don't know if Michelle wants to see me today or not but I don't feel I should jeopardize my work just because she got upset. I know I should have called her but it's not like it never happened before she knows when I'm working I get caught up and forget everything. It was the only thing that kept me sane when Arizona and I where having problems. Just then the door sprung opened and in bounced Sofia.
"Mommy are we going to see mama today, please. I drew her a picture that she can hang in her room so she won't miss me when I'm at school and I want to give it to her."
"Sure baby we can go see mama today. Why don't you go get ready and we will stop and get breakfast first."
"Can we bring mama donuts, I know that will make her feel better." Sof says.
"Sure, now go get ready." I tell her.
After Sof left the room I decide to call Michelle and see if she would talk to me. I got her voice mail.
" hey it's me, just wanted to check in and apologize again for last night. I will be working again today but I will have my phone with me and it's fully charged if you want to give me a call later. Hope to hear from you. Bye"
When we got to Arizona's room her parents weren't there yet. Sofia went running in so excited to give Arizona her picture.
"Mama I drew you a picture , you want to see." Sofia says.
"Of course I want to see it. Come up here and show me." Arizona says.
Sofia climbed up on the bed with Arizona and started explaining it to her.
"This is me, and that's you and mommy" Sof tells her.
I peak over and see she has drawn a picture of the three of us together at the park with Arizona and I holding hands. Whenever she draws pictures whether it's for fun or school she always draws all three of us. She says she doesn't want anybody to feel left out because she loves us both equally. She drew another one for Arizona's parents that has all five of us in it.
"Do you like it, mama?" She asks.
" like it...I love it baby, thank you so much...this made my day I feel so much better already." Arizona tells her as she kisses her cheeks.
"Good, because you need to get better so we can go to the park for real." Sof says.
"Sof you want to give mama her other gift you got her?" I ask.
"Oh yeah I forgot, we got you donuts too." She tells her.
"You did where are they, what kind did you get" Arizona says all excited.
"Don't worry we got you your favorite, here you go." I say chuckling as I hand her the box.
"Thanks Callie" she says with the biggest grin on her face.
"Let's see what kind should we have right now Miss Sofia...wait did you have breakfast yet" Arizona asks.
"Yes mommy took me out for pancakes ...can I have one now please?" Sof says.
"sure I'm going to have the chocolate one what kind do you want" Arizona asks her.
"I want chocolate too." Sof says always wanting to be like her mama.
"What kind do you want Callie?" Arizona asks me.
"I'm good right now but you guys enjoy...so I'm going to head to the lab will you guys be ok?"
"We'll be fine, plus my parents should be here shortly. What are you working on?" She asks.
"I'm still trying to tweak your leg, I think I got it but there is just a few more things I want to do before you use it."
"I really appreciate you doing this but I don't want to cause anymore problems for you than I already have." She says.
"I told you it's no problem I wanted to do this."
"Are you sure, i can have David look at it tomorrow?"
"Arizona stop ok,I want to do this but if you don't want my help just say it"
"Callie you know that's not what I'm saying...I saw her face last night she was not happy, I also saw your face when you came back and I could tell you were upset. I just don't want to ruin anything else for you."
"You didn't ruin anything ok it was my fault I forgot to call her a couple of times in the last few days is all. You know what I'm like when I get in the lab I lose all track of time and I just forgot. It's no big deal."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure ok just let me do this. I should have it all set before the days over then later this week once you're healed more from the surgery we will get you in the therapy lab with David to try it out...ok."
"Ok, ...thanks.
"Your welcome, now I'm going to go. Have fun you two and don't eat all those donuts I don't need you to have a tummy ache tonight. I love you, see you later." I say as I head out.
"Bye mommy love you too." Sofia calls out to me.
"Bye Callie and don't worry I won't let her eat too many." Arizona says as she is tickling Sofia tummy.
I head off to the lab to hopefully finish this up today. Most people would think the prosthetic was good already but I just want it to be perfect. I know I can't give her her leg back but this will be as close to the real thing as I can get it.
