'Was going to invite you to a birthday gathering next week but by your blatant disregards about the nature of my plans, you can drop Sofia off for a few hours instead' Callie stared blankly at the text message. It wasn't often her ex-wife got nasty in an argument, but when she did Callie knew it meant something had really bothered her.

Callie had served Sofia her dinner when she heard the sound of her phone going off in her bag, she had thought it was Penny replying to her about a possible date. The last thing she expected was to get that text message from Arizona.

Making sure Sofia was preoccupied, Callie walked out onto her patio before dialling Arizona's number. Callie sighed when there was no answer. Her eyes widen as the realisation hit her, Arizona was probably on her date.

It was Thursday night meaning, tomorrow Sofia would go to her other mother's house for the weekend. Callie could just see how awkward the drop off would be on Sunday. Instead of trying to reach Arizona again, she rung the person she was in need of most.

Once she got through to Penny, she begged for her to come round, luckily Penny was just finishing up her shift. Callie went about putting Sofia to bed before pouring out a glass of a wine, if Penny wasn't available there was no doubt in her mind that she would have gone through the whole bottle.

…

"She really said that to you?" Penny spoke as she shook her head. She knew Arizona had put her girlfriend through hell after her amputation but she couldn't believe the level of rudeness she had shown Callie once again. Penny studied Callie's face, the brunette didn't have the glow to her she normally did. She looked defeated. Her shoulders were raised high, like she was holding the weight of the world.

"She has every right to though."

"Cal regardless of what you done, she doesn't have to be that rude to you."

Callie knew Penny had a point, she had chosen not to acknowledge that Arizona was going on a date so in her eyes Arizona was right in retaliating. Right now Arizona was with this woman, her super magical smile on show for the world to see. Callie couldn't handle these thoughts in her mind, even the slight thought of Arizona getting into a relationship with this woman made her sick to her stomach.

Shifting closer to her girlfriend Penny brought Callie into her arms, this position wasn't one they found themselves in often. Callie always liked to be the 'alpha', not that Penny objected but once in while she liked to hold her girlfriend.

Burying herself further into Penny's arms, Callie couldn't help but feel unsettled. Aside from her battle with her own emotion, she and Arizona had been getting on so well, there were no awkward tension surrounding them anymore. Well unless you count the awkward tension when Penny would join their conversations either by her presence or by mention. Bringing her hand to her face she quickly wiped away the tears that fell unevenly from her eyes, why was this affecting her so much?

"I've called her three more times after I spoke to you, she's ignoring me." Callie sighed as she began to pick the skin around her fingers. She knew Arizona wasn't ignoring her, she was on a date. A date. She couldn't wrap her head around it.

"She's not ignoring you Cal, she's on a date remember."

"You should have seen her face when I dismissed her date, I can't believe I did it."

"You haven't told me why you did that?" Penny questioned.

"I don't even know myself."

Callie's answer didn't sit well with Penny, how could she not know? There must be a reason as to why she got funny with her ex-wife dating again. Callie knew the reason, she didn't want Arizona to date. Simple as that.

"It's Sofia's weekend with her right?"

Callie nodded against Penny's chest. "Sofia finishes a little bit earlier tomorrow so Abigail is picking her up. Arizona has surgery till four so she'll come here."

"I have a split shift tomorrow, do you want me to be here when Sofia is picked up?"

"Would you mind?"

"Of course I wouldn't."

Normally Penny wouldn't offer to wait for Sofia to be picked up but she thought it would be a good idea to ask Arizona about the text message. It was a risky job, Callie's business with Arizona had nothing to do to her. However with the woman she was dating to be in such a state, Penny took it upon herself to sort things out.

Checking her time Callie noticed they had been talking for over three hours, she had an early morning filled with consult meetings as well as getting her sleep loving daughter to kindergarten. She placed her empty wine glass on the table before taking Penny's hand. All she wanted after the table turned evening was to fall asleep with her girlfriend. And that's what she did.

….

Penny was sat patiently on her girlfriend's couch watching Sofia play with two of her new dolls. Throughout the first part of her shift, all she could think about was this moment. Penny knew she didn't have the right to approach the situation head on, it wasn't any of her business but she still did.

Sofia was the first one to hear the slam of a car door indicating that her mother had arrived. Dropping the dolls she ran to the door waiting for the knock, when she heard it she looked back at Penny for confirmation that she was allowed to open it.

"Momma I missed you." The little girl squealed as she barrelled herself into Arizona's leg.

Arizona smiled and picked the little girl up. "You saw me yesterday!"

"That was aaages ago momma!" Sofia declared she reached both her arms around her mother's neck and squeezed tightly.

Arizona walked into the house with Sofia on her hip. "Is Abigail here? Momma needs to talk to her."

Sofia shook her head "Noooo but Penny is here!" she spoke as she pointed towards Penny, who was stood awkwardly at the edge of the couch.

"Blake." "Doctor Robbins."

Penny calling her mother doctor made Sofia laugh, she put her hand over her mouth and chuckled. Sofia always had a fascination with her mother's being doctors, when her Aunt Cristina sent over her very first stethoscope for her third birthday Sofia had told the world she was going to be like her mothers. Well that was until she discovered the world of ballet.

"Callie didn't mention you would be here." Arizona stuttered, she tried not to let it show that she felt ambushed about the random presence of Callie's girlfriend.

"Didn't she? Callie thought it would be easier for me to come home and watch Sofia, then make Abigail stay longer."

Home. Arizona felt like all the wind had been knocked out of her. Did she really hear penny call Callie's house home. There would be no way on this planet that Callie would ask Penny to move in without telling her. Penny moving in wouldn't be a quick conversation especially as they shared a daughter. She knew there was a sense of seriousness in Callie's new relationship but she wasn't ready for someone else to come into what was once her home.

"Home? I didn't know you moved in." Arizona tried to act calm, Sofia was still attached to her hip watching the adults talk. She seemed unaffected by the conversation.

"Oh I haven't yet, but I'm here enough so it's the next logical step."

"Oh, well I'll be having a word with Callie when the time comes."

"What on earth would you need to talk to Callie for? My moving in has nothing to do with you." Penny knew by getting into this conversation wouldn't end well, she didn't mean for her reply to sound so… bitchy. She just wanted Arizona gone from their life.

If they had been at the hospital, Arizona could have shut her down immediately using her status. Oh the look on Penny's face would have been priceless but unfortunately for Arizona, they weren't in the hospital so in this moment they were Callie's girlfriend and ex-wife.

"You don't think that Callie would invite some women she's known all of five minutes to live with her, in the same house that OUR daughter lives. Didn't it cross your mind that Callie and I still have a connection?" Arizona couldn't believe the audacity of Penny Blake.

Penny was way in over her head, she started to panic. Why couldn't she of let Callie handle it?

"Arizona you need to realise that the connection you and Callie have will only ever be through Sofia. She has moved on. We are happy together, I make her happy. You two will never get back together, you need to realise that. "

Arizona ignored the last comment from Penny, she transferred Sofia to her other hip and started to tickle her sides. The sound of Sofia laughter was what she needed to calm down, she owed it to Callie to show some manners of respect to her girlfriend even though she hated her guts.

"You're just going to ignore me? You're absolutely insufferable. Thank god you didn't have a second child. I couldn't bare to have your in our lives any more than you are." The minute Penny spoke those words she regretted it. She slapped her hand over her mouth as she tried to step closer to Arizona who took steps back.

The look on Arizona's face said it all, Penny knew she had ruined any chance of a potential truce between them. Arizona was just glaring at Penny, the second she blinked the dam of tears would be broken. She felt absolutely horrified, in a matter of speaking Penny might as well of shot her in the heart… it would have hurt less.

Continuing to glare at Penny she lowered Sofia to the floor "Bug go get your shoes on! I have a surprise waiting for you at home." Arizona stroked the back of her daughter's head before watching her run upstairs.

Making her way towards Penny Arizona stood directly in front her, she made sure Penny was looking at her before she spoke. "If I hear you speak of mine and Callie's other child again, I will have you fired. Got that?"

"I didn't mean it I swear, it just slipped out." Penny tried to apologise, she truly felt bad for what she had said.

Callie had struggled to keep her feelings at bay when she told Penny about their failed pregnancy. Penny knew how much her girlfriend had wanted the baby, she felt utterly ashamed of herself for bringing it up in the conversation. This was not how she had planned for it to go, she hadn't even brought up the text message yet she had managed to pissed of an attending in more ways than one. She knew once Callie got wind of this argument, she was going to be screwed.

"What gives you the right to comment on mine and Calliope's relationship?"

"What gives you the right to call her that anymore?"

Arizona stared at Penny as she tried to find the right words to say. Breathing out slowly Arizona piped up. "You crossed a line Penny, I can handle you calling me out for how I treated Callie but you will never again start something with my daughter present. You understand?"

Holding her hands up in defeat Penny backed down "That was uncalled for, I'm sorry. But have you even tried to talk to Callie, do you know how upset she was?"

"Why would my date upset her?"

"You'll have to ask her." Penny shrugged her shoulders. "I'll get her to ring you."

The two women just stared blankly at each other neither of them wanting to break the silence. Arizona still felt her blood boiling, she knew Callie had opened up to penny it was inevitable. She just didn't think Callie would have spoken about their miscarriage. Arizona went to speak again but the sound of heavy footsteps above them signified that Sofia would be gracing them with her presence in a matter of mintues.

Sofia came bouncing down the stairs with her bag in one hand and ted in the other. "You ready Momma? I want my prize!"

Arizona took her daughter's hand and walked out the house, she didn't bother to say goodbye to Penny. All she wanted was to get her daughter back home.

….

Walking through the front door Callie Torres was glad to be home, she was ready to go home three hours ago. That was until a patient was rushed into the ER after being partially crushed by a car. She placed her keys and bag on the side before walking into the kitchen to fetch a glass of wine, something she had been really looking forward to. The house was so quiet without Sofia and Callie couldn't wait to embrace it. She had a night of self-pampering sorted out, her first task was to sit and enjoy a glass of wine to wind down from work before taking a hot bubble bath something that was hard to do with a five year old running around.

After her bath Callie was on cloud nine, she hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. She could have stayed in mix of hot water and bubbles for longer, but from past experiences of falling asleep in the bath she thought not. Walking back downstairs in her robe, she pressed play on the stereo and poured herself another glass of wine.

Having the house to herself meant that she could do some seriously thinking, she had to come up with an appropriate to approach Arizona about the text message. In an ideal world she would have forgotten it just like she did with many situations in their marriage. However in this circumstance Callie knew she couldn't forget it.

She truly regretted dismissing Arizona's date, she couldn't handle the thought of Arizona dating again. She found solace in the fact her ex-wife didn't initially want a divorce, although it made her moving on harder. She knew it would be easier for her to move on knowing Arizona still loved her than to find out her wife had no feelings towards her. The more she thought what she done, the more she realised she had an underlying problem. It wasn't Arizona's seeing the women that was the problem. The problem was that Arizona had clearly gotten over her. Callie knew she was being selfish by wishing Arizona would chase her all the time.

Placing the half empty glass on the table Callie was shocked to find a white envelope on the table. Was that there earlier? Frowning slightly she reached for the envelope and began to open it. She immediately recognised the writing to be Penny's. The note inside simply said 'Ring Arizona ASAP, I'm sorry Calliope"

Callie dropped the note back down on the table, she sat there for a few moments. Her gaze was stuck on the letter, it made no sense to her. A sense of dread began to creep in her mind, was this Penny's way of ending their relationship? Callie made a quick note of the time, nine o'clock. She reached for phone and dialled Arizona's number, hoping that she was still awake. Spending time with Sofia often exhausted both of them out. Sofia had endless amount of energy and expected her mother's to keep up with her.

Dialling Arizona's number, Callie sought out to find some answers. After a few rings the sound of her ex-wife's voice came on the phone.

"Callie, Hi."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?"

"Penny left me a note apologising and telling me to ring you?"

Callie heard the blonde sigh before a short silence. She sat circling the rim of the wine glass trying to distract herself from letting her feelings get the better of her.

"Did she tell you anything about this afternoon?"

"No she's on the tail end of a shift so I haven't seen her."

"We got into an argument… hold on one second."

Callie could hear her ex-wife talking to someone in the background, she quickly felt embarrassed that she had obviously disturbed Arizona's evening plans.

"Sorry I was just saying goodbye to Mom and Dad."

"Oh. I didn't know they were coming down." Callie sighed, she felt relieved. Arizona having plans with her parents was better than Arizona have plans with someone else.

"I didn't either, Mom called earlier and said they were outside the apartment." Callie laughed at this, her ex in-laws had a tendency of just turning up without any warning. Most of the time, they would knock on the door while Callie and Arizona were alone.

There was a pregnant pause between the ex-wives. "Instead of doing this over the phone, do you want to come round tomorrow morning? Mom and Dad are taking Sof out for breakfast."

"I have surgery at 11 but I can be round for about nine, if that isn't too early?"

"I'll have the coffee waiting."

"I'll be round then. " Callie went to end the phone call but could sense the anticipation of Arizona saying something.

"Cal wait… I just want to say I'm sorry for that text? I was just angry ya'know."

"So um, how was it?"

"We'll talk tomorrow."

The pair quickly said their goodbyes and the phone call ended. Callie sat back against the couch and let out a huge sigh. She was not prepared for their conversation tomorrow, it didn't help that she was unsure on what Penny was talking about. Glancing at the clock, she knew Penny would still be working so she sent her a quick text before taking herself to bed.

*Waves* It's me! I wish I could write my assignments as quick as these past few chapters, I've been sat on the same paragraph of my assignment for a week. This one was hard for me to write, I'm still not liking it but I think this is as good as I'm going to write when Penny is involved. She was a bitch in this right?! Tut. Another thing, was you all able to click with the time jump between C/P talking then Penny being with Sofia or would you guys like me to write 'the next day' etc?

I hope you're all still enjoying the fanfiction, it was only meant to be a one shot! JJ
