AN: Hi guys thanks for the reviews and interest in the story. Hope you enjoy this update.
Callie's POV
We just finished up with Aria's funeral. Arizona's been helpful. My father enjoys being around the kids. My parents are leaving after dinner tonight. We are all gathered at my house. It still feels so unreal. I can't believe that this really happened. Whilst we were all having something to eat, my parents were in my room watching the video Aria gave us. My father called up Arizona and I. When we got inside my room, my mother was in tears. I've seen her cry but not like this. The look on Arizona's face was hilarious. She looked so scared of my mother. My mother walked over to Arizona and then started talking.
"I don't trust that you won't hurt my daughter again but what I've learned is to forgive. At first I hated that you too are going against God will but now I realize that I'm just as big of a sinner for not loving my daughter unconditionally. It took me losing a daughter to realize that love is love. I'm happy though, that I have gained another daughter and three beautiful grandkids through this awful experience. Thank you for everything you did with Aria, Arizona. I don't know what you are to Calliope but you are the mother of my grandkids so you'll always be welcome in my house. Take care of them for me."
Arizona was sobbing. I was sobbing. Aria's death woke something up in my mother. I guess she's scared of losing another daughter. My mother finally accepts her bisexual daughter. I'm just afraid that she'll now only want Arizona as my wife. My parents left for Miami again. They will be back in a month to spend some time with the kids. All of the other guest left as well. It was just me Arizona and the kids. Tomorrow Mia is being released from hospital. We are not ready at all. We didn't expect any of this. We do not have anything at my house. Aria has everything at her house in LA. What she had at the apartment was just the basics to get by. She and the baby would have gone back to LA or maybe this was her plan all along. Maybe she knew she wouldn't make it. Arizona will come get me at the hospital after my shift tomorrow and together we will take Mia home. We agreed that Mia will stay with me seeing that the other two kids are already here. Arizona tucked in the kids and then she went back to the apartment.
I started my day with the usual Sunday routine. Arizona texted saying she'll drop by the hospital to get the key to my house so she can take some of the things Aria bought for the baby over to my house. I'm sure it's not much but for now the basics will do. When she got to the hospital I was with Mia. Mia looked so beautiful. She is just a mini Aria.
We stuck to Aria's wishes. We named her Mia Callie Torres. It's actually a great thing that one of my kids has my name added to theirs. My other two kids is all Arizona. I mean really Sofia Robbin and Aaron Timothy, damn I was so inlove with that woman. I love watching Arizona interact with Mia. She totally forgets that there are other people in the room. Sofia and Aaron were with Arizona. We actually looked like a little family enjoying their new addition to the family. After our little family moment Arizona went to finish up things for the day.
Arizona's POV
Aaron, Sofia and I were off to the shops. I told them about the surprise we have for Mia and Callie. I'm going to blast some money today. They were so excited. Aaron wanted a cars themed room. Sofia wanted something princess like. We agreed on a Sofia the first vibe. Sofia was over the moon about it. Aaron loved the fact that he could add to the basket. I just hope Callie don't mind me taking over her guest room. We were going to paint it pink. So for the first few days the baby would be sleeping with Callie in her room. I'm sure Callie would love it. We got everything we needed then we went to the house. Mark came over to help us set up. There was little time and thank God Callie called to say that she'll be two hours late due to a surgery. We were almost done and then I turned around and saw Aaron and Sofia messing around. Aaron was full of pink paint and so was Sofia. Callie will not be happy about this. I need to get them bathed but I can't. I need to go get Callie as well. Mark needs to be in hospital, he just got paged. Oh screw it we need to go and seeing them with paint stains will ruin the surprise. I let them put on a new set of clothes. Most of the stains were well hidden except the piece on Aaron's cheek. He has this super cute The Flash uniform. I took of his clothes and dressed him in that. Callie won't notice now.
We go straight to Mia's room. Callie just scrubbed out and she is changing. Sofia and Aaron are so excited. Sofia is holding Mia and Aaron is nagging to keep her too. I let him sit in a chair and help him hold Mia. Sofia is having that concerned look on her face again.
"What's wrong Sof, why do you look so worried?"
"Are you going to love Mia more than us now?"
"Never baby girl. I love each of you equally and all in a special unique way."
With that, Callie comes in. She looks tired but she is all smiles. We discharge Mia and off we were. Sofia and Aaron are struggling to hold their tongue. When we got to the house, I got Mia out. Callie waited for me but Sofia and Aaron ran to the front door. We were barely inside and then Sofia and Aaron pulled Callie by her arm. They took her upstairs. I was slowly following with Mia. I didn't want to take her into the room because I didn't want her to get some of the paint fumes. So I laid her down in Callie's room and then made my way over to Mia's room. I can hear Sofia talking. She's asking Callie why Callie is crying.
"Callie what's wrong I didn't mean to intrude."
"No Arizona you didn't intrude. This is perfect. It's so amazingly perfect. This is happy tears."
"Well I wanted to make Mia feel at home. I might have gone overboard for Sofia and Aaron again too today but who cares."
"I care. You shouldn't spoil them. They are already turning into picky brats."
"Or they are just like their Mama, I'd say."
I joked with Callie and she took the bait. We didn't even notice that Sofia and Aaron left them room.
"What do you mean like me? I'm not picky. I just like quality."
"Callie you are picky."
"Well whatever I make good quality choices. I picked you didn't I?"
"Technically you didn't. I didn't give you a choice. I kissed you in a dirty bathroom. I mean what woman would be able to resist that."
"Arizona are you thinking about starting to flirt with me?"
I was speechless. Of course I wanted to flirt with her but we are in such a good space right now. What if me saying 'yes I want to flirt with you all day everyday' just screws up this whole good vibes thing we have going? She could see that I'm a bit awkward and then she broke the ice.
"Don't look so startled. Where are the other two minions?"
"I don't know."
"I guess we got lost in the room and they decided to ditch us."
"I'll go find them."
"Arizona?"
"Yes Callie?"
"Thank you for everything today. It means the world to me."
I walked out of the nursery. My heart was warm. My heart was happy. Callie and I had a playful conversation and it might my day even better. The other two kids were in Callie's room looking at Mia. They looked so protective over her. Sofia asked me to tell them a story while we wait for the pizza I've ordered. I made up a story and they were hooked.
Callie's POV
The doorbell rang and I guess that's the pizza. Yes indeed, it was the pizza. I tip the guy and put the plates out. I made my way upstairs to my room to go tell everyone that the foods here. On my bed was Arizona holding Mia. Aaron was fast asleep between her and Sofia. Sofia had a protective hand over Aaron. Sofia was also asleep. I guess this day wore them out. It looked as if Arizona was about to fall asleep as well but me entering the room woke her up a bit. I think she might need some help getting up. I take Mia from here and she gets up. She gets Mia's cot ready for her. I put Mia in her cot that's next to my bed. We take the baby monitor and head down.
"I don't want to wake up the kids but we'll need to bath them before I leave. They have paint all over them."
"We can bath them in the morning they look so peaceful now."
"You'll struggle getting the paint off."
"Oh no you'll help. You not getting away with getting them dirty and then leave the mess to me to clean up."
"Okay what time do you want me here? Sofia has school, so probably before then? What time do you usually get up to get them ready? We are technically on maternity leave but I'm guessing you'll take your four months and then I'll take mine after that? I'll discuss it with Bailey tomorrow. So I can take the kidsto school and day care as well."
"Arizona you are rambling."
"I know I'm just so excited. So what time should I be here tomorrow?"
"Actually I was hoping you'd stay here. I don't know how you can stay in that apartment. I want you to stay here and help with the kids. I don't have a guest room anymore but we'll figure something out. Will you stay here?"
