Callie awoke Saturday morning to a loud clap of thunder and the sound of rain pelting at the glass of the patio doors. With the dreary grey sky, it was hard to tell what time it was and she was too comfortable to move and look at her phone. All she was certain of was she felt well-rested, refreshed, and…aroused. Her entire body felt inflamed, excited. She knew part of it was attributed to the rain, it just lent itself to a lazy day of sex and love-making, but when she turned her head she knew the true reason for her desire lay next to her. She sat up on her elbow and noticed that Arizona had kicked off the covers and was lying on her back, strong pale arms above her head tangled in messy blonde curls, milky white breasts with soft strawberry nipples sitting high on her chest, small patch of blonde curls at the apex of her legs, and her toned thighs were spread out straight. She was nothing short of magnificent and Callie's body ached to touch, lick, and suck every inch of the slightly sun-kissed skin, so much so that she could already feel the moisture pooling between her legs.
She took a moment just to enjoy the light snores coming from beside her and the rhythmic sound of the rain tapping at the windows in their otherwise silent home. There were no alarms going off, no phones ringing, no sounds of the television, or little feet padding around the house. It was just her and Arizona alone on a rainy dreary day with no plans whatsoever. She smiled as she recalled the last time she awoke to the rain, Arizona had barely been here a week, and while she knew they were both thinking of the many Seattle rainstorms where they spent the entire day in bed, they had yet to have sex at that time. Little did either of them know, though they both hoped, that would be the night they not only made love for the first time in four years, but it was also the night they declared their love, their renewed love for each other. It was hard to believe it had been less than two months since they decided to try again and exactly one week before they would become wives once again. Looking at the exquisite form in front of her, she knew she would be happy to wake up to this sight everyday for the rest of her life and after next week, it would be a certainty, though her soon to be wife was none the wiser.
Carefully, so she didn't jostle the bed and wake her sleeping girlfriend, Callie made her way to the end of the bed and nestled herself between Arizona's legs. Starting at the right ankle, she kissed and licked the inner portion while caressing the outside of her calf and the strong left thigh with her hands. Once she got to the knee, she could feel Arizona's body start to respond to her touch and could smell the spicy scent of her arousal. Switching legs, she kissed the length of the scar and reveled in the fact that she no longer felt the fear that once consumed her and Arizona no longer felt compelled to pull away from her. While she continued to massage the outsides of both legs, she kissed, licked and nipped at the inside of first the left thigh then the right. She could tell by the squirming and soft moans that Arizona was fully awake now, but she was enjoying herself far too much to stop.
They'd had sex recently, they'd made love, but she could never get enough of this body, it felt like she learned something new every time. When she licked the crease of the pale left thigh, Arizona arched her back and let out a sexy soft whimper, she'd never noticed that before. Lifting her head, she moved to the right side and got the same response. Slowly she moved her hands lower to part swollen pink lips with her thumbs, grazing just inside to collect the glistening moisture, then up curvaceous hips and over a taut abdomen rippling with need, until she reached the full pert breasts with dark pink nipples that were just beginning to bud from desire, longing to be touched and teased. Callie spread the moisture with her thumbs, watching as the tiny buds bloomed into hard tight nipples making Arizona gasp from the sensation.
Arizona faintly heard the clap of thunder but allowed the sound of the rain to lull her back to sleep. At one point, she thought she could feel Callie's eyes on her, but her mind was too foggy to care. At that point, she was enjoying her dream as her lover lazily made her way up her body kissing, biting, massaging. She could feel herself getting wet and rolled her hips, hoping to relieve some of the tension in her throbbing clit. When she felt two strong hands caress her hips, she knew she was no longer dreaming and opened her eyes just in time to feel soft full lips brush across the scar at the end of her leg and see the love, adoration, and lust reflecting in the mocha colored eyes she loved so much. Her heart swelled when she saw no fear, no hesitation, no guilt, or remorse. She also felt a strong sense of pride in herself that she had no inclination to pull away or hide that part of her. As Callie continued her trek up her body, Arizona arched and whimpered when that talented tongue came so close to where she wanted it. She sighed in relief when she felt her lips being parted and rolled her eyes in delight when two thumbs swiped at her inner folds then wanted to cry when they were gone just as quickly. She saw dark brown eyes watching her body's response when she swiped her arousal coated thumbs across her overly-sensitive nipples making her gasp with need.
Callie could see that Arizona was watching her through heavy lidded eyes and smirked just before she scraped her teeth across the top of her mound barely touching the soft blonde curls and dipping her tongue inside smooth lips to tease the sensitive nub that was pulsating with need. Arizona let out a sigh of relief as Callie's thumbs continued to flick at her nipples and her tongue taunted and teased at her clit. While she was happy to receive the attention, she needed to touch and taste as well. Putting her hand on Callie's shoulder, she begged, "Come up here." Callie looked down regretfully at the glorious mound she barely got to taste and started to climb up Arizona's body when she was stopped by the hand on her shoulder and Arizona ordered, "No, turn around." Callie's stomach flipped, this was another of those things she loved so much and she wanted to jump off the bed and scream with excitement. Instead, she quickly got to her knees, licked and nibbled her way up Arizona's hard abdomen, stopping to pay extra attention to the tight nipples, and hummed at the exquisite taste of the salty sweet juices as she lapped up every drop. She hovered over Arizona, slowly bent her head until their lips were barely touching and murmured, "Good morning." Arizona lifted her hands to short, tousled black hair and took no time in deepening the kiss as she slipped her tongue between plump red lips and hummed as she tasted herself on Callie's tongue.
Arizona lowered her arms and scraped her fingernails down Callie's back until she reached her firm ass, gave it a tight squeeze then a none-to-gentle slap indicating what she wanted. Callie broke the kiss, breathing heavily, and dutifully, but carefully turned around so her knees were straddling Arizona's head. She bent her head so she could see between their bodies and watched as the blonde lifted her head and gathered her hair so it was out of the way and laid back down. With Arizona's guidance, she slowly lowered herself down and cried out when she felt the first swipe of a warm wet tongue lap at her outer lips. Arizona smacked her lips and teased, "Mmm you're already so wet for me." Callie could only nod her head while she stared at the glistening folds in front of her. She parted the soft skin with her thumbs and licked Arizona's slit from the top of her clit to her seeping opening feeling her body arch beneath her and the echo of her moan vibrate through her own body. She pulled back and watched as more juices trickled from her pulsing core then lowered her head and circled the slick opening with her tongue.
Both women were so caught up in their own pleasure, more than once they lost focus on their task of bringing the other to ecstasy. Eventually, they found their rhythm and rolled their hips into the touch of the other. Callie took her time teasing Arizona's clit, circling it, sucking it, flicking it with her tongue, then leaving it to lick down to her core where she circled the opening, dipped the tip of her tongue inside, circled again, then returned to her clit to repeat her actions. She tried not to focus on Arizona's teeth grazing her lips then her clit, biting down just hard enough to make every nerve stand on end, all while tracing her throbbing opening with just the tip of her finger. She jolted backwards hoping to capture the teasing digit, but Arizona obviously expected that reaction and the finger disappeared, making her whine with displeasure. The two continued to tease and taunt until neither could handle it any longer. They needed more, they needed to give more pleasure to take each other over the edge, not just the cusp and they needed to feel the euphoria that was just out of reach.
Callie painstakingly slowly entered Arizona's slick tight channel with two fingers groaning as the hissed, "YES!" reverberated through her body. Aching to feel the same fullness, she started moving her fingers slowly at first, allowing Arizona to adjust while she drew broad circles around the swollen nub with her tongue. Arizona slowed her actions briefly to give herself just a moment to soak up the overwhelming pleasure, revel in the fullness of having Callie penetrate her. She added a second finger to her exploration of Callie's core, swiped them both through the creamy juices that were seeping from her girlfriend and dripping down her chin and thrust into the throbbing opening with a little more haste, knowing Callie loved to be entered quick and hard all at once. She was rewarded with a muffled, "FUCK YES!" screamed into her core and felt it deep in her abdomen which was already clenching from desire. She wrapped her lips around Callie's hardened clit and sucked roughly while setting a hard steady pace with the thrust of her fingers, feeling Callie's inner walls tighten around her. Callie matched Arizona's pace and both women's cries and moans echoed throughout the empty room joining the increasing sounds of rumbling thunder and hammering rain.
Callie was so lost in the sensuality, the carnality of what Arizona was doing to her, she slowed her movements and was quickly punished by a hard sharp slap to her ass which caused her to arch her back and lean into the touch screaming, "Fuck, again!" Arizona pulled her hand back and delivered another hard smack and was surprised by the gush of arousal that coated her fingers. She rubbed at the reddened area, swatted the inflamed cheek one more time and hissed, "FUCK ME CALLIOPE!" Realizing why she was being reprimanded, Callie did as she was told, added a third finger and pumped her hand as hard and fast as she could in that position while flicking her tongue at lightning speed against the blonde's clit. "Ahhhh! Yes, baby, that's it…don't…fuck don't stop." Arizona screamed while continuing her own ministrations on Callie's sex. She began scissoring her fingers and Callie groaned in anticipation knowing Arizona was about to add not one finger but two. Preparing herself for the jolt of pleasurable pain, she couldn't help but cry out at the euphoric feeling of being filled so completely.
As the contrasting scents of fresh rain and the musky aroma of sweaty sex filled the air, both women could feel their climax racing toward them. Arizona was certain the moment she heard the thunderclap and saw the lightning flash, she felt the jolt of electricity roll through her body as she screamed at the top of her lungs, stiffened and jerked, seeing nothing but the final flash of lightning play repeatedly behind her closed eyelids. Callie felt the thunder tear through her body like an earthquake and let out a low guttural moan and convulsed uncontrollably as she felt the intense orgasm take over her entire being, she barely had the strength to move but found herself flipping over onto her back so she didn't hurt Arizona when she collapsed. Subconsciously, both women reached out to grab the other's hand while they lie on their backs, end to end, breathing heavily as wave after wave of aftershocks ran through their exhausted forms. Seeing nothing but white bursts of light behind her eyelids, Callie opened her eyes thinking they would disappear only to find her vision was slightly blurry and the flashes of light had not faded but became brighter. Arizona was in no better shape; she was convinced her body had shattered into a million pieces and was still waiting for all the fragments to land and make her whole again.
When she could finally speak, Callie asked hoarsely, "What the fuck was that?" Arizona tugged at her arm, silently asking her to join her and responded, "Ah…amazing fucking sex?" Callie chuckled and groaned as she tried to sit up, her entire body felt boneless, like a limp noodle. Once she maneuvered herself next to Arizona, she pulled up the covers before their sweat slick bodies could catch a chill and quickly pulled the smaller woman into her arms needing the contact, the intimacy after such an intense experience. Arizona lay her head on Callie's chest and listened to her still racing heart and started making soothing circles on her abdomen until both of their heartrates slowed down and they were breathing in tandem. Content to just hold one another and listen to the storm rage outside the window, both women were lulled back to sleep in mere minutes.

The next time they awoke, it wasn't to the rolling of thunder but to the rumbling of their own stomachs. Callie looked outside and could see it was still gloomy and the rain was steadily falling, but the worst of the storm had passed. Arizona lifted one hand to rub at her face and asked, "What time is it?" Callie kissed the top of her head and answered, "I'm almost afraid to look." Arizona yawned and stretched while reaching out to check her phone, completely unaware that she had bared her breast. That was until she felt warm lips envelop it and a crafty tongue flick at her nipple. She moaned and scolded, "Mmm don't start that if you don't intend to finish." Callie rolled on top of her, effectively pinning her down and moved to her other breast while asking, "Who says I don't intend to finish?" Arizona protested weakly, "Callio…mmm…god that feels good." Callie smiled as she lavished the other breast with attention knowing her girlfriend wouldn't put up much of a fight. When she bit down a little too roughly, Arizona flinched and Callie's head popped up and she asked, "Did that hurt?" Arizona nodded and answered, "They're a little sensitive, I think it's the medication." Callie smiled brightly at that then groaned as Arizona shoved her off of her and ordered, "My purse, I need my purse." Without complaint, Callie jumped out of bed and left their bedroom stark naked to find the small bag.
While she was in the kitchen, she started a pot of coffee and decided they should probably eat something as well. While she waited for the coffee, she cut up some fresh fruit, grabbed some cheese, crackers, yogurt and two bottles of water. She opened Arizona's bag, found the medicine bottle, and put everything on a tray along with two perfectly prepared cups of steaming hot coffee. When she returned to the bedroom, Arizona was coming out of the bathroom with her robe in her hand. Callie arched her brow and asked, "What are you doing with that?" Arizona smirked and replied, "I was coming to see what was taking you so long." Callie lifted up the tray and responded, "Sustenance. Now put that down and get your naked ass back in this bed." Arizona tilted her head and argued, "Calliope, it's past 2:00 pm." Callie placed the tray on her bedside table, straightened the covers, propped up the pillow and asked, "Do we have somewhere to be?" Arizona pretended to think for a minute and realized where she really wanted to be was right back in that bed snuggled up with her lover. They had no kids, no emergencies, no pagers, and they hadn't spent the entire day in bed together in years. This was exactly what they both needed. Shaking her head, she dropped the silk robe to the floor and climbed back into the bed.
Once they were both settled, Callie placed her coffee on her bedside table, handed Arizona her cup, then placed the tray of food between them. Arizona opened her bottle of medicine, took out the white tablet and held it up as they both whispered, "Please work," smiled at one another, then shared a soft kiss after she swallowed the pill. Arizona looked at the spread of food between them and asked, "Getting hungry were you?" Callie picked up a strawberry, dipped it in the yogurt and held it up to Arizona's lip and responded, "Maybe a little." She watched as perfect white teeth bit into the plump berry causing juice to drip down her bottom lip and leaving a touch of creamy yogurt on her top lip. Before Arizona could dart her tongue out, Callie was swooping in to lick at the sweetness. The two continued to feed one another while sharing innocent kisses until their tray was empty. Arizona moved the tray to the floor, scooted down on the bed, lowered the cover and asked, "Where were we?" Without hesitation, Callie leaned over and carefully took a sensitive nipple into her mouth murmuring around it, "Right about here." Arizona's head rolled back on her pillow and she wrapped her arms around Callie's back raking her nails up and down, knowing it would turn her on.
Without lifting her head, Callie reached into the top drawer of Arizona's bedside table, felt around for a few seconds, found what she wanted, pushed the button to turn it on and chuckled into Arizona's breast when she heard her whisper, "Oh god." Callie shifted her body slightly, lowered her hand between Arizona's legs, parted her swollen lips with her middle finger, swiped the tiny vibrating bullet through the moisture she could already feel seeping from her channel, and began to make small circles around her sensitive nub until Arizona was writhing beneath her and digging into the skin of her back. Arizona wrapped her legs around the backs of Callie's thighs locking her in place and growled in frustration when the vibration disappeared just when she could feel the tingling in her lower abdomen. She sighed in relief when Callie inserted the small object into the opening of her sex and focused on the pleasurable sensations. When she felt her climax build again, she could feel Callie's arm start to move, gripped her bicep with all her might and growled out, "Don't you fucking dare" between clenched teeth. Callie smiled mischievously, held the small bullet with two fingers while she lifted her thumb and pushed down slightly on Arizona's clit making slow tight circles and watched in awe as Arizona arched off the bed from shoulders to hips, threw her head back, and beat the mattress with her fists, screaming, "FUCK, FUCK FUCK!" Then her entire body went slack and she gasped to catch her breath. Callie was so taken with the beautiful sight of watching her girlfriend reach her climax, she didn't realize she was still holding the vibrator to Arizona's sex until she arched again and begged, "No…fuck…God…no more." Callie quickly pulled the vibrator away, turned it off, and pulled Arizona's trembling body into her arms, holding her while she came down from her high.

The next time the couple emerged from the bedroom, it was well past dinner time and they were both famished. While Arizona scoured the refrigerator for something they could make quickly but would fill them up, Callie stepped up behind her, wrapped her arms around her middle playing with the knot on her robe, nibbled on her ear and suggested, how about we order a pizza, take a quick shower, and pretend to watch a movie on the couch?" Arizona closed the refrigerator door, turned in Callie's arms, leaned up against the cool steel, and replied, "Mmm that sounds amazing." She began walking Callie back toward their bedroom, picking up her phone along the way. Arizona turned on the shower and got the water just right while Callie ordered the pizza from the bedroom.
Callie walked into the bathroom just in time to see Arizona slip her robe off and immediately pulled her into her arms asking, "How can I want you so much after spending the entire day in bed with you?" Arizona tilted her head, lowered her hands to untie the belt holding Callie's black silk robe together, and answered, "I have no idea because I can't seem to keep my hands off you." Callie bent down and connected their lips together while she carefully guided them into the shower. Arizona turned them so she could sit on the bench and pulled Callie closer so she was straddling her legs with her knees on the seat next to her. Arizona wasted no time inserting two fingers into Callie's tight channel and watched as brown eyes rolled backward and Callie's head fell forward to rest on her shoulder and she rolled her hips to the rhythm of Arizona's thrusts. Feeling the tension in her lower abdomen, Callie lifted her head, braced her hands on the wall in front of her and chased her orgasm while Arizona continued to pound into her and brought up her other hand to pinch her clit. Callie threw her head back and screamed causing her voice to reverberate off the walls. Still shaking, she whimpered when Arizona withdrew her fingers, then allowed her body to slump into her lover's arms.
Instead of standing up, Callie slid off the bench, parted Arizona's thighs and buried her tongue deep inside her channel, already knowing she would be wet and ready for her touch. Arizona rested her head against the cool shower wall and tangled both hands in Callie's short tuft of hair keeping her in place. It wasn't necessary though because Callie had no intention of stopping what she was doing. She savored the tangy flavor that was pure Arizona and found that she could never get enough of it. Callie slid her hands underneath strong pale legs, lifted them over her shoulders, and wrapped her hands around that glorious ass tilting curvaceous hips just enough so she could thrust her tongue as deep as it would go. Arizona loved and hated this position, she loved what Callie was doing, how deeply she filled her, but she couldn't move her hips, she had to rely on Callie to know what she needed and to bring her pleasure. As her nerves hummed and her muscles clenched, she knew she had nothing to worry about in that aspect. Callie always brought her pleasure and knew just how to make her fall apart. Feeling the clenching in the pit of her stomach, she squeezed her legs together and tightened her grip on Callie's head forcing her to continue exactly what she was doing. Callie felt Arizona's legs wrap around her neck, indicating she was close and buried her face in her girlfriend's sex until she felt her convulse around her tongue and the grip on her hair and neck relaxed slightly. Callie continued to lap at the juices until Arizona finally pushed her away.
Realizing they were running out of time before the pizza came, Callie quickly lathered both of their hair with shampoo and couldn't help but giggle as Arizona sat limply and let her tend to her hair without so much as lifting her head. By the time she had rinsed all of the conditioner from both of their hair, Arizona was finally finding her strength and took over in lathering their bodies with their preferred shower gel while Callie rinsed them off. Arizona turned off the water and Callie wrapped them both in soft, warm, fluffy towels. Deciding they should probably not answer the door in just their robes, both women donned a t-shirt and sweats and made it into the dining room just in time for the doorbell to ring. Arizona grabbed her wallet from her purse and went to collect the pizza while Callie poured them both a drink and grabbed some napkins, deciding to forego the plates, and met Arizona in the living room.
They each settled against opposite ends of the sofa, tangled their legs together and bit into their pizza, both moaning at the exquisite taste. They then looked at each other and Callie commented, "It's definitely the sex that makes it taste better." Arizona agreed, "Absolutely." Callie picked up the remote, turned on the television and asked, "Do you have a preference?" The brunette had just taken a drink of her pop when Arizona replied, "How about Sleepless in Seattle? I haven't seen that in a while." Callie choked on her drink and wiped at her face as the pop came out of her nose. Arizona tilted her head and asked, "Ah, is that a no?" Callie shook her head, primarily to stop the burning in her nostrils and answered, "No, that's fine. It's just, Lorraine was talking about that movie yesterday and I thought it was odd that you brought it up today." Arizona shrugged and explained, "In an odd way, it kind of reminds me of us. Like we had all these chances to get it right and we finally do once we are both in New York." Callie thought about what she remembered from the movie and admitted, "I never thought about it that way. Sleepless in Seattle it is then."

Wednesday afternoon, Callie walked into her office and sighed when she finally sat down for the first time that day, though it felt like it was the first time all week. After their amazing Saturday, she and Arizona both woke up Sunday full of energy and decided to deep clean their house since they hadn't really had a chance to put everything in its place since their party. They caught up on all of the laundry, straightened up the pool house, and spent the rest of the afternoon doing research for her new prototype until Sofia came home. It took nearly an hour to settle her down after telling them all about how they got caught in the rainstorm in the tent Friday night and had to run into the house, but they were able to sleep out in the tent Saturday night and it wasn't nearly as scary as she thought. After finally getting her washed up and tucked in, they both decided they were exhausted and went to bed soon after. Monday morning she was called in for an emergency and spent six hours on her feet rebuilding a man's hand and arm because he thought it was a good idea to stick it in the garbage disposal to see what was causing the motor to stop without realizing it was still turned on. Tuesday morning, Arizona started the estradiol and they called the Cryobank to have the Sloan sauce delivered to their house on Saturday. Fortunately it comes in a nitro tank with an insemination kit and they don't have to use it right away. Tuesday night she worked late because she had already rescheduled next Monday's appointments so she could spend the entire day supporting her WIFE on her opening day and had to catch up with the patients she missed on Monday because of the unexpected surgery.
Today she was able to come in on time and hopefully leave on time as well. She did a simple procedure earlier in the day, completed her rounds, and planned to spend the rest of the afternoon making sure everything was in place for Sunday. She was still trying to work out the logistics of getting Arizona to the hotel earlier than the time the 'gala' starts so she could follow through with her first surprise. Just as she reached in her drawer for her secret notebook with the long to-do list, she heard that familiar knock and her whole body tingled with excitement knowing who was on the other side of that door. She closed the drawer and couldn't help but sing out, "Come in honey." Arizona smiled brightly when she saw her girlfriend sitting at her desk. She knew this was exactly what she needed to calm her nerves. Before Callie could stand up to greet her, she found herself with a lap full of beautiful blonde kissing the life out of her. Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around Arizona's waist, pulled her closer and returned the kiss with fervor.
When Arizona pulled back, she rested her forehead on Callie's and whispered, "Hi." Callie ran her hands up and down Arizona's back and responded, "Hi." Both women smiled and sighed in relief as they instantly felt their bodies relax knowing they were in their safe place. Arizona rubbed her hands through the soft stubble on the side of Callie's head and murmured, "You're getting furry again." Callie nodded, she knew she was forgetting something, but when the hell would she have the time? Arizona added, "That's one of the reasons I came over, I want to get my haircut for the gala and my grand opening, but I don't want it to look like it's just been cut so I was going to ask Jordyn if she could fit me in tonight. I was wondering if you wanted me to see if Stevie had anything open." Callie kissed her firmly on the lips and responded, "That would be amazing. I keep meaning to call, but I get distracted." Arizona traced the barely visible lines on Callie's head and asked, "Will you do this again? It's totally hot and badass." The brunette arched her brow and asked, "You liked that did you?" Arizona nodded her head fervently and answered, "Loved it." Callie winked and responded, "I think I can do that." Arizona gave her a smacking kiss and chirped, "Yay!" Callie chuckled and asked, "What else brings you over or did you just come to tell me I needed a haircut?"
Arizona tilted her head and continued to run her fingers through Callie's hair while she explained, "I think I'm being a little hormonal. I snapped at Nicole and then went to my office and cried because I spilled my coffee." Callie poked out her bottom lip and sympathized, "Oh honey, I'm sorry the medicine is playing with your emotions." Arizona rested her head on Callie's chest and said, "It's not even the fact that I spilled the coffee on anything, it's that I limited myself to three cups a day and that was my third cup." Callie bit her lip to keep from laughing but her body shaking gave it away and Arizona smacked her leg and ordered, "Don't laugh at me!" Callie sobered up and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I know it's not funny. But you didn't drink that cup baby, so you can have another one. It's not cheating." Arizona lifted her head, smiled her adorable dimpled smiled and asked innocently, "It's not?" Callie shook her head and asked, "Would you like me to have Lorraine bring you a cup?" Arizona thought about it and answered, "No, I should probably save that one until later. Thank you for making me feel better." Callie kissed her nose and answered, "Anytime."
Suddenly remembering what she was thinking about just before Arizona arrived, Callie asked, "What would you think about just staying at the hotel the night of the gala? I can have them reserve the Presidential Suite and we can just take whatever you need for the grand opening." Arizona started to nod her head then asked, "What about the umm…you know?" Callie quickly responded, "We could bring it with us. We won't need to rush home, we could order up champagne, light some candles, make it special." Arizona thought about it for a moment, she really wanted to do it in their own bed, but she liked the whole romance idea and it's not like she was getting knocked up in a Motel 6. Finally she nodded, brushed their lips together and admitted, "I like that idea." Callie did a happy dance in her head, smiled her mega-watt smile and answered, "I'll give them a call in a little bit then. Would you like me to call Jordyn and Stevie too?" Arizona smiled sweetly and asked, "Would you mind? I should probably get back to work and make sure they are packing all the little 'swag bags' PR insisted we have properly." Callie laughed, "I remember those stupid things. I think I still have a closet full of them somewhere. I'll make the calls and text you the time." Arizona nodded, gave Callie one last kiss and made her way back to her own center.
Callie called The Aria first to make sure they had all of the reservations for their guests taken care of and informed them she would need both the Presidential and the Honeymoon Suites reserved for her prior to the event, but Arizona's Parents would take the Presidential Suite afterward. Then she called the salon and asked to speak to Stevie directly. She waited patiently until her friend greeted, "Hey Cal, what can I do for you?" Callie responded, "Well, I kinda forgot I needed a haircut and Arizona decided she wanted a trim before the weekend so her hair doesn't look freshly cut and we were wondering if you could fit us in this evening." Stevie laughed and replied, "I was hoping you didn't forget, but I was going to text you tomorrow and remind you. Let me check the book. Oh! I was telling Jordyn about our conversation Friday and she came up with something. I'm going to put her on while I check." Callie nodded as if her friend could see her then greeted, "Hey Jordyn, what have you got for me?" Callie listened while their friend went through her entire idea and already started looking up information on her computer. When Jordyn was all finished, Callie sighed and declared, "Not only are you a lifesaver, but you already know her so well. She will love it! Thank you." Stevie got back on the phone and informed her, "We are booked solid until 6:30 pm, but if you can make it as close to then as possible, we will get you both in before we close at 7:00 pm." Callie sighed, "Oh bless you. We will be there by 6:15 pm. Thank you and thank Jordyn for me again too please."
As soon as she hung up, Callie sent Arizona a quick text, then called the number on the website and told them exactly what she wanted and she bit her lip nervously while they checked their schedule. She wanted to scream when the man came back and told her the one she asked for was booked, then relaxed when he offered their deluxe model and described it to her. She quickly jumped on that deciding it was even more perfect. Once she was finished with that, she called her father and laughed when he answered much the same way he answered when she was waiting for Arizona and Sofia to come to New York, "Yes mija, everything is all set with both jets." Callie sighed in relief and admitted, "I'm so nervous daddy." Carlos carefully asked, "Nervous how?" Callie furrowed her brow and asked, "What do you mean?" The older man sighed heavily and asked, "Are you wor…" "NO! I'm nervous that she will find out. I've never wanted anything more in my life daddy. I just know this is it for us. She's it for me. I just want to make it perfect. I owe that to her." Carlos smiled at his daughter's response and replied, "It will be beautiful mija. Your mother, Aria, and I will be in town Friday evening, but we will stay out of sight." Callie revealed her entire plan to her father and he could hear the love and happiness in her voice. This was all he wanted for his daughter and he knew from the moment he met the feisty blonde she would be the only one who could give her that joy and happiness, it just took him a minute to catch up to the idea. After disconnecting that call, Callie continued to make calls and confirm orders right up until it was time to leave for their hair appointment.

By the time they arrived at the salon, Jess and Steven had been dropped off by their babysitter and Sofia ran off to the back with them. Jordyn was just finishing someone up and Stevie locked the front door then called Callie back. As soon as Callie was seated, Stevie leaned down and whispered, "I could just shave it into the back of your head and you could get it over with tonight." Callie scowled at them and shook her head declaring, "Uh no…just the usual, but she really liked the three lines, so can you do that again too please?" Stevie shook their head and mumbled, "Not even married yet and already telling you how to cut your hair." Callie snorted and muttered, "Just shut up and cut my hair." Stevie laughed and gave their friend a mock salute in the mirror.
Jordyn called Arizona back and after hearing what Arizona wanted done, started spraying her hair with water before cutting it and they fell into casual conversation. Jordyn regaled them with the fiasco of the first night of sleeping in the tent making them both laugh so hard the stylists had to stop cutting for a minute or two. Once she finished her story, Jordyn asked casually, "How are you doing your hair for the gala?" Arizona huffed in frustration and answered, "Ugh, I haven't even thought that far ahead. You've seen the dress; do you have any ideas?" Jordyn tried to picture both dresses in her mind and come up with a style that would work for both. Finally she nodded and suggested, "I think some kind of up do with just a little hair left out on both sides curled to frame your face." Arizona scrunched up her nose and asked, "You wouldn't happen to be available any time that day would you?" Jordyn shook her head, she already knew how she was supposed to answer the question, but to be honest, she was booked solid because of the 'gala'. Finally she answered, "I'm double booked the whole day, but I could come to you at ummm…4:00 pm I think. We are closing early because we have to be at my cousin's bachelorette party. But we aren't leaving until 6:00." Arizona looked in the mirror at Callie and seeing her nod asked, "Would it be out of your way to come to The Aria?" Jordyn laughed inwardly; it wouldn't be out of her way at all considering she will already be there. She raised her brow and commented, "Ooh fancy. No, we have to go through the city so it will be no problem." Arizona smiled and offered, "I'll give you an even better tip than usual." Jordyn laughed and responded, "I'm in."
By the time the adults were finished, the kids were all complaining they were starving to death and realizing none of them wanted to cook, they decided to go to the burger place around the corner. Once their food was delivered, Stevie watched in disbelief while Callie and Arizona exchanged their pickles and tomatoes, swapped fries for vegetables and shared a pop. When they opened their mouth to say something, Sofia stuck a fry in her mouth and advised, "Don't ask, it's a thing they do and it's weird but they think it's normal." Stevie shook their head and whispered, "Kid, your parents are anything but normal." Sofia nodded and answered, "But ya gotta love 'em." Stevie and Sofia both laughed getting Arizona's attention and she asked, "What are you two laughing about?" Stevie pointed at Callie and Arizona's plates and answered, "That thing you just did." Callie and Arizona looked at one another then at Stevie and asked in unison, "What thing?" Sofia popped another fry in her mouth and declared, "See, not normal." Callie leaned over to brush her lips against Arizona's and responded, "We are perfectly normal." Everyone else at the table just nodded in agreement at the two women who only had eyes for one another at that point.
When the meal was finished and the plates were cleared, Callie gave the kids some money to buy tokens to play video games and watched as Arizona and Jordyn interacted with one another. Jordyn was twisting Arizona's hair trying different styles and they were both laughing and giggling about one thing or another. Callie loved seeing Arizona so carefree and building her own bonds with people here in New York. She was a little worried about that prior to Arizona moving here because she used to be so closed off. It took her years to get close to Teddy and April and whatever weird bond she had with Karev, but it took her no time at all to make friends and secure her own place in people's hearts here. While Callie knew both Stevie and Jordyn longer, she didn't really get to know them until Arizona moved into town. She liked that they had a couple they could hang out with and both enjoy their company individually or separately. She missed her friends from Seattle, she really did, but she couldn't discount how important these new people had become to herself or her family.
Once Jordyn and Arizona finally settled on a hairstyle and Stevie and Callie helped the kids turn in their tickets for little plastic toys that would be broken before they got home, the two couples parted ways and took their sleepy children home. On the way home, Arizona reached over and traced the lines in Callie's hair absentmindedly and commented, "I really love this." Callie smiled, reached up to take Arizona's hand in hers, kissed the back of her hand and declared, "I really love you." Arizona entwined their fingers, bent down and kissed the back of Callie's hand and replied, "I love you too, so so much."
A/N: To the guest reviewer, PolishCalzonaFan, and MondlerFanKay who were saddened that I cut back on the steamy scenes, you were right and I let people get into my head. I need to write my story my way. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Anyone care to guess what's next?
Finally, to the guest reviewer who went off on me about Callie not doing anything wrong being BS and CRAP, please reread that section in the context it was written. While Callie has admitted to many of her wrongdoings in my story, this specific scene was referring to how Callie's family treated her as well as Arizona's cheating. I will be the first to admit, and so will the Callie in this story, that she did a lot of things wrong, but her not being enough for Arizona or her actions after the plane crash were no reason to warrant Arizona cheating. So no, it's not crap and if you are going to anonymously disrespect me and how I choose to write my story. You are more than welcome to stop reading it.
