Pancakes.

Arizona could smell pancakes.

Shifting her position she opened her eyes and gazed at her surroundings. Why was she in Sofia's room?

Suddenly she shot up off from the little bed she had slept in all night. A small bear fell from her grasp, picking it up she realised it was Sofia's favourite teddy bear, Callie had brought it back from a conference she went to the previous year. How had she fallen asleep? Fallen asleep at Callie's house to be exact. She could briefly hear the sound of Sofia talking in the distance, Callie must know she stayed over right?

Looking down at herself, she noticed she was still dressed from the night before. She still had her shoes on, at least it would make it easier for her to leave.

Making her way out of the room, she followed the sound of her daughter. Walking slowly into the opened planned kitchen, Arizona saw Sofia sat on the worktop next to Callie as they laughed together.

Clearing her throat Arizona stood awkwardly against the door frame "Morning."

"Momma you woked up!" Sofia squealed as she turned her body to face Arizona. "Mami and I made blue pancakes."

The ped's surgeon was taken back by the information she had just been given. "Blue pancakes" were something she would make every Sunday with Sofia. During Callie's pregnancy she had a craving for blueberries. Everything had to have blueberries on them. She lost count how many times she made blueberry pancakes. Not long after Sofia's second birthday, Arizona started making it for her family again every Sunday before they went on a walk through the park. Callie stopped asking for pancakes two weeks prior to their separation claiming she had to get used to not having them in her life again. Arizona never understood what Callie meant, she knew her ex wife could make them herself so she knew Callie's reason was a straight up lie.

"I can smell bug." Arizona smiled as she made her way towards Sofia, she gently tickled the sides of her daughter before taking her in her arms.

"Momma you cuddled Ted the whole night." Sofia crossed her arms "I couldn't find him this morning and you had tooked him the whole night."

Callie laughed to herself as she went about plating up the freshly made pancakes. "Don't you mean Momma had taken him? Remember your proper words."

Sofia threw her arms up "That's what I said mami, momma had toked him."

"I wouldn't have cuddled him so long if mami had woken me up." Arizona said as she looked at Callie. She knew this impromptu night would need a discussion as it was the first time Arizona had stayed over since moving out.

"Mami would have but momma was so cuddle in with her little bug and Ted, she would have gotten grumpy when she was woken up" Callie replied with a firm voice.

"Mami's right, you grumpy when we wake you up." Sofia spoke.

Faking a hurt face, Arizona tickled Sofia's body "Mommmmmma stop!"

"Never! You're meant to be on my side." Arizona laughed as she continued to tickle the little girl.

Callie stood back and watched Arizona and Sofia. Hearing the mixture of the two laughs together brought the biggest smile to Callie's face. It had been a while since she heard Arizona laugh, sure she had heard it at work but not like this. Whenever Arizona played with Sofia, her laugh would echo through the halls and into each room of the house. It was the type of laughter that filled you with warmth. In their early dates of dating, Callie knew Arizona's laughter was something she wanted to hear for the rest of her life.

"Alright you two enough, breakfast is ready!" Callie interrupted the duo which was resulting in two groans.

As Arizona passed Callie towards the table, she gave Callie a look. A look she was all to familiar with. Callie knew it was the "we need to talk" look. Nodding back to Arizona, she sat down with the blonde and their daughter as she thought of ways to prolong the light atmosphere.

The trio ate with ease, both moms listened as their daughter told them stories about her friends at daycare. They often shared smiles together as Sofia would express a amusing facial expression. Sofia had shovelled in her pancakes within five minutes of sitting at the table, prompting the shocked but amused response of her mothers. They both knew Sofia loved her food, just like her Momma.

Sofia had asked to be excused from the table on the reason that "Ted is lonely" which left the ex wives alone to clear up the wrath of breakfast.

Both the doctors were clearing up in dead silence, the only sound that could be hear was that of their doctor playing with her toys.

"So.. you gave me the look." Callie started the conversation, she tripped the band aid off in one scoop.

"This can't happen again Callie."

"What can't happen? All you did was fall asleep with Sofia."

Shutting the cupboard door, Arizona lent back against it. "That what you and I think, but that little girl upstairs was so upset over not having both her mothers at home together." Arizona walked towards Callie "If I fall asleep every time I tuck her in and you don't wake me up, she's going to get into some routine of having us under one roof again. I can't bare to see her upset again."

Callie knew her ex wife was right, they couldn't risk getting Sofia excited again. It was hard enough trying to explain to the little girl that her momma was going to move out.

"I understand that Arizona, but that doesn't mean once in a while you can't stay here. Would it be so bad if Sofia saw her mother's actually getting along?"

Arizona looked down at her hands "It wouldn't be so bad."

Callie moved closer to Arizona and engulfed her in a hug. "Don't worry Ari, this is just a friendly hug between two mothers."

Arizona laughed against Callie's shoulder, it had been such a long time since she was in Callie's arms. The familiar smell of Callie's perfume over took her sense, she closed her eyes and tried to remain the moment. Rubbing Callie's back once, she pulled back and stepped away.

"I guess I should leave, I have go get ready before surgery at two." Arizona spoke as she pointed in the direction of the door.

Callie nodded to herself "I have to get Sofia ready anyway, you're still having Sofia tomorrow yeah?"

"I have surgery after lunch, so I'll come by and pick her up."

"Don't forget we've got her first day next Monday, you're still coming?"

"Like I would miss my bug's first day of Kindergarten. Mom wants photos to show at her weekly book club." Both surgeons laughed as they thought of the dedication between Barbara Robbins and her book club.

Exchanging a smile to one another, Arizona made a beeline for Sofia's room to say goodbye before making her way home.

I am beyond sorry that I have left it such a long time, this is just a filler update. I'm in the process of writing the next chapter, so hopefully it won't be a long wait. I'm sorry again and I hope you enjoy! x
