A/N 1: Semi-smut, not dirty, but definitely sexy time warning. If you want to skip it, read to the 2nd set of XXXX then skip to the third.

Late Friday afternoon, Callie and Arizona sat cuddled on the double lounger on their patio watching Sofia, Bella, and Jess jumping and splashing around in the pool. Callie laughed as they all jumped in at once screaming "cannon ball" though neither of them actually formed a ball nor did they create much of a splash. She turned to Arizona and asked, "Tell me again how we ended up having a slumber party weekend." Arizona rested her head on Callie's shoulder and replied, "Maria and Miguel's anniversary trip was already planned for this weekend and they couldn't get a refund and when I went to pick them up, poor Jess looked like she was feeling left out, so I invited her to stay too." Callie kissed Arizona's temple and cooed, "My big softy." Arizona replied, "It was that or let them stay there and I'm not ready for her to be out of my sight overnight yet." Callie pulled her closer and answered, "Me neither. I'd much rather have them here." Arizona took a drink of her lemonade and watched as the girls all plugged their noses and dunked their heads underwater to see who could hold their breath the longest.

Callie reached over and started making small circles on Arizona's bare leg and asked, "How did your meetings go?" Arizona grinned and sighed happily, "Amazing thank goodness. Our day care is now fully certified and will be opening for staff the week after next and the representatives from the New York Medical Board audited all of our staff certifications and matched them with their records. The only one missing from the file was mine which I forgot to stick in my folder after I made copies of the originals." Callie chuckled, "That would have been bad. But you're all good to go then, staff wise?" The blonde nodded and responded, "We are. Orientation is Monday and Tuesday then on the job training for the next two weeks. Oh, and I actually have my first patient this Wednesday, it's the Senator, she's carrying triplets and they all have the same heart condition and apparently everyone she went to recommended me. If everything checks out, she will be my first surgery opening day." Callie kissed her temple and asked, "Would it make you nervous if I sat in the gallery? I uh…I never watched you before." Arizona furrowed her brow and answered, "You've seen me operate hundreds of times." Callie rubbed the back of her neck nervously and admitted, "When you were in peds yeah, but not once you switched over, I kinda rebelled. I've been dying to see you in action." Arizona chuckled and kissed her cheek then replied, "I would love to have you in the gallery for my first surgery." Callie turned her head and brushed their lips together and whispered, "Thank you." Arizona kissed her again and this time deepened the kiss. She was touched that Callie wanted to see her in action again.

Callie pulled back when she heard the girls laughing and splashing each other, reminding her she had to be PG for the moment. Arizona linked their fingers together and asked, "How about you? How did the rest of your day go?" Callie thought for a minute then answered, "Well, after my amazing presentation, I was kind of on this high and had all this energy, so I did my rounds, visited each floor, checked in with my department heads and worked on my special project." Callie knew Arizona would assume that special project was the prosthetic upgrade and she was perfectly fine with that even though she had spent most of her time on the phone and submitting orders. She added, "I have a few meetings set up already with prosthetic companies and some of the other grant foundations are interested in the pregnancy prosthetic as they called it, so as soon as I have more information, I will submit a request for funds." Arizona turned and excitedly exclaimed, "Honey that's amazing! Do any of these companies interest you? Do you think you'd want to work with them?" Callie spent some time telling her about Mr. Wilcher from Mobius bionics and how his vision seemed to align with hers the best based on the short conversations she had with each rep. Arizona lifted her hand to caress her face and sincerely offered, "I'm so proud of you." Callie brushed their lips together and responded, "Not half as proud as I am of you. You've worked so hard and I can see that place coming together so quickly." Arizona pulled Callie in for another kiss, she definitely didn't want to be away from their daughter but she would love to be alone with her girlfriend.

Callie whimpered knowing they couldn't even start anything, broke the kiss and lifted Arizona's arm to look at her watch then asked, "What should we feed the munchkins?" Arizona smiled and replied, "Oddly, they were all complaining about their camping trip being ruined, so we are going to give them a camping experience from the luxury of our own home. I don't want them to be afraid. It's kind of like, falling off a horse." Callie laughed and asked, "What?" Arizona smiled and said, "When you fall off a horse, you're told to get right back on. We still have a bunch of hot dogs and things left from the party, so I was thinking my big strong girlfriend would light the firepit and they could roast their own hot dogs and later make s'mores, then they could set up their sleeping bags in the empty spare room by the office."

Callie loved Arizona's childlike imagination and how great she was when it came to things like this, she kissed her again and stated, "So that explains the sleeping bags. You're pretty amazing, do you know that?" Arizona smirked and responded, "I am, but I have a hidden motive." Callie arched her brow and asked, "And what would that be?" Arizona leaned over and nibbled on her earlobe and whispered, "I promised you a reward and that room is very far away from ours." Callie shivered at the sensation and closed her eyes while Arizona continued to kiss and lick at her neck and husked out, "I believe I owe you a reward for modeling your leg too." Arizona nipped at Callie's pulse point and responded, "Hmmm that's right, you do." Callie's hand slipped under the hem of Arizona's shorts and asked, "Is it light's out yet?" Arizona giggled and stopped the roaming hand and suggested, "You start the fire and I'll get the food." Callie whined, "I'm trying to start the fire." But she hopped off the lounge chair and rushed to the garage to get wood, making Arizona laugh at her eagerness and take a minute to cool off, the fire had definitely started.

The sun was just going down when Arizona shooed the girls out of the pool and told them to get dried off and get cleaned up for dinner. She followed them into the house and helped them all lay out their sleeping bags, made sure they all had flashlights and laid their pajamas out so they could find them easily because there was no light in their 'tent'. Sofia ran to the light switch and said, "Un huh, there's a light right here mommy." Arizona shook her head and answered, "Nope! This is a real camp out, no light in the tent." All the girls giggled and Jess asked, "Do we have to go outside to pee?" Arizona laughed at the girl's seriousness and replied, "Nope, you can use the latrine across the hall, but no light in there either, you need your flashlights." All three girls nodded their understanding and did as they were told. Seeing they were all set, Arizona declared, "Okay, now we go into the kitchen to make bug juice while counselor Callie builds the fire." All three girls scrunched up their faces and asked, "Bug juice?" Arizona nodded her head and responded, "It's the official camp drink." She walked to the pantry, took out a packet of Kool-Aid and the container of sugar and asked Sofia to get a pitcher from the cabinet. When she started to mix it, Bella declared, "That's just Kool-Aid Arizona." Arizona poured them each a small cup and said, "This is Kool-Aid." She waited until the girls all drank the sweet liquid then took the measuring cup and added another cup of sugar widened her eyes, looked around and whispered, "Now it's bug juice." She poured another cup for each of the girls and bit back her smile as they all giggled at the overly sweet taste.

Once the bug juice was finished and put in the freezer to chill faster, she had the girls help her take out everything they would need for dinner and explained, "Now you have to put everything on your bun and on your plate, then we will cover it up and carry it out to the campfire with us." Sofia arched her brow just like her mama and asked, "Why can't we just wait until mama brings in the hot dogs?" Arizona shook her head and answered, "Because that's not camping. That's a barbecue. Besides, mama isn't cooking the hot dogs. Counselor Callie is going to help you roast your own hot dogs over the fire, then Counselor Arizona is going to show you how to build the perfect s'more." All three girls nodded and Arizona helped them pour chips on their plates and made sure they each chose a fruit or vegetable and carefully covered the plates with plastic wrap. After the girls were taken care of, she made plates for her and Callie and loaded the food in a foil pan to make it easier to carry.

Unbeknownst to any of them, Callie was standing just outside the door watching the entire interaction. She couldn't help but swell with love for Arizona. For someone who hated camping as much as she did, she was going out of her way to make sure the girls had as authentic of an experience as they could get. Deciding to get more into the spirit, she ran to the pool house and pulled out their canvas chairs and sat them in a circle around the fire and searched around the yard for long sticks they could use instead of the actual metal marshmallow forks they were going to use. Since it was starting to get dark, she didn't want any of the girls to have bad memories so she turned on all the fairy lights in the yard and set up a few other things for them. Finally, she ran back to the house and saw that everyone was just about ready, they were just waiting for Arizona to fill up their 'canteen' water bottles with bug juice. Callie clapped her hands and asked, "Alright campers, are we ready?" All three girls cheered and she said, "Okay, line up, we have to follow the trail out to the fire. It's a long walk." Sofia giggled and declared, "Mama, we can see the fire from here." Callie put her hands on her hips and responded, "That's Counselor Callie to you little miss and we can't just walk across the lake, we have to follow the path." Arizona realized Callie must have been listening at some point and decided to help her make this a big deal for the kids. She couldn't help but stare at her girlfriend with all the love she was feeling for her shining from her eyes. Callie winked at Arizona and took the pan that held the hot dogs and s'mores ingredients, then called out, "Okay, follow me."

Callie walked outside and led the girls down the walking path, explaining, "Be careful to stay on the path, there's a legend of an old cranky crocodile named Alex who steals food from young campers." Arizona and Sofia both giggled at the use of Alex's name because he actually did snatch food from people. As they walked through the rock garden, Callie pointed out, "This is Robbins-Torres falls and it is believed that if you make a wish and blow a kiss into the fountain, that wish will come true." Arizona's heart flipped upon hearing those words. This is where they had their first conversation and decided to try again. They continued on the path, and Callie pointed at the swing set saying, "That over there is the bones of a dinosaur, you don't find many of those around anymore." All the girls giggled because they all had play sets like that in their yard. When they walked along the back fence, Callie warned, "Okay, this path leading to the campfire is very treacherous." She ducked her head and said, "Watch out for that tree limb, it hangs very low. She turned and saw all the girls duck as they followed her lead. She took a huge step lifting her leg up and claimed, "Be careful of the hollow log, if you step on it, you could fall through." Arizona giggled as all the girls struggled to get over the imaginary log while they tried to lift their legs as high as Callie did.

Finally they got to a narrow trail she set up with pool noodles that led them to the fire pit which was set up in the middle of the back yard. Turning to look at her amused girlfriend, Callie asked, "Can you do a headcount Counselor Arizona?" Arizona nodded and called out each girl by name and they all answered back. Arizona winked at Callie and responded, "Everyone is present and accounted for Counselor Callie." When they finally reached the fire, Callie asked, "Okay, does everybody see this ring of rocks around the fire pit?" They all looked down and saw a circle of rocks that sat about a foot away from the actual fire and nodded. Callie instructed, "No one steps over those rocks. We don't want to get too close." Arizona smiled and watched as Callie helped each girl put a hot dog on her stick and showed her how to hold it above the fire and turn it slowly so it cooks evenly. She was quite impressed with her girlfriend's creativity, walked over and whispered, "You know, you're pretty amazing yourself." Callie put her arm around Arizona's shoulders and responded, "You were right, they needed to see that it was fun and I wanted them to feel safe being outside." The two women stood together offering pointers whenever they saw one of the girls struggling.

After everyone ate their dinner, they all sang a few songs which weren't really camp songs, but they were songs they all knew from their favorite Disney movies. Arizona showed them how to roast their marshmallows and they all giggled when their own fell into the fire on the first try. The girls were thoroughly impressed by Arizona's perfectly golden brown toasted marshmallow and scrunched up their noses at Callie's crispy black marshmallow. Everyone followed Arizona's instructions on how to make the perfect s'more and the girls struggled to keep from getting the gooey mess all over them. After cleaning up and putting their trash into the garbage bag that magically appeared from Arizona's pocket, Callie covered the firepit and they followed the trail back to the 'campground'. Arizona refused to allow them to turn on any lights and made them use their flashlights to brush their teeth and wash up for bed. Both Callie and Arizona waited until they all had their pajamas on and tucked them into their sleeping bags. When they left the room and shut the door, they smiled at each other when they saw the flashlights under the door and heard, "Your moms are so cool".

Once they got to the kitchen, Callie turned on the dimmer so the light didn't come on all the way but offered just enough light so they could see their way around. She pulled Arizona into her arms, kissed her softly and observed, "You know, for someone who hates camping as much as you do, you certainly got into that." Arizona sighed and decided it was time to tell her own reason for not liking camping. Looking into amused brown eyes she started, "First of all, growing up on military bases, every day is like camping. But the first time I ever went away to camp, The Colonel sat me down and told me all the 'secrets' he told Sof and I actually loved it the first couple of days. But then Timmy, Nick, and some of their friends snuck across the lake one night and put fake bugs and snakes in my sleeping bag and when I crawled in to find them, it scared me to death and I ran out of my tent screaming and everyone laughed at me. I called home and my mom came and got me the next day. I refused to ever go back and didn't find out until later it was the boys. Now, well, I don't like being in the woods for obvious reasons. But I didn't want the girls to be afraid to go back." All Callie could picture was a little 8 year old Arizona with pigtails and tears streaming down her face and her heart nearly broke at the image. Callie leaned in and brushed their lips together and whispered, "Mean people suck." Arizona giggled and answered, "They really do."

The two women stood in the kitchen holding one another and could feel themselves and each other relaxing for the first time all day. Callie looked into sparkling blue eyes and felt the need she'd been fighting all day rise within her. She bent down and nibbled on Arizona's plump bottom lip, still tasting the sweet mixture of chocolate and marshmallow. She was easily granted access and moaned when their tongues met and tangled together in a slow sensual kiss. Arizona snaked her arms around Callie's neck and lifted her hand to tug at the short tuft of hair pulling her closer still. Callie slid her hands under the waistband of Arizona's shorts and panties and walked her backward until she bumped up against the center island. Callie broke the kiss and made a trail of soft, barely there kisses until she reached Arizona's earlobe where she sucked and nibbled, making her gasp and whispered, "I want you so much." Arizona tilted her head to give Callie better access to the sweet spot just behind her ear and responded softly, "Mmm me too. Make love to me Calliope." Callie pulled her hands from Arizona's shorts evoking a small whimper, then tapped the back of her thighs to indicate she wanted to pick her up. Arizona hopped up when Callie lifted her and wrapped her legs around her waist and started kissing on the long tan neck sucking on the throbbing pulse point as Callie walked them through the darkened house.

By the time they reached their bedroom, both women were breathing heavily and could feel the moist heat emanating from the other. Callie closed and locked the door then stepped forward so Arizona's back was resting on the cool wood and connected their lips again in a deep languorous kiss. They each moaned when Arizona unlinked her legs and slid down Callie's body. Though they had thought of several ideas throughout the day of the dirty things they wanted to do to each other, at this moment, they felt the need to go slow, to connect on an emotional level as well as a physical level. The last few days have been extremely difficult for both of them and they craved the closeness, the intimacy that a hard and fast fuck wouldn't fulfill.

Callie slowly ran her hands up Arizona's back lifting her shirt along with it. Arizona raised her arms and broke the kiss long enough to allow Callie to pull the shirt over her head and connected their lips once again. While Callie unfastened her bra, Arizona slipped her hands under the front of Callie's shirt and slowly caressed up her taut abdomen until she reached the swell of her breasts and tucked her fingers underneath the soft sports bra and pushed both shirt and bra up at the same time while sliding her palms over hardening mocha nipples. Callie rolled her eyes at the sensation and could feel the goosebumps rise on her skin. She lifted her arms and broke the kiss so Arizona could remove the unwanted items and toss them to the floor. Callie pulled Arizona's bra off while barely brushing their lips together, teasing and taunting her until her bottom lip was caught between perfect white teeth and sucked into the blonde's mouth. Callie stepped closer and hissed when their breasts rubbed together and she finally felt skin on skin.

Arizona gently caressed Callie's back, appreciating the feeling of rippling muscles as her strong arms moved up and down, slowly caressing Arizona's sides, each time barely touching the swell of her breasts, causing small jolts of electricity to run through her body and moisture to pool at her center. Neither woman was in a hurry, enjoying how the soft sensual touches built the anticipation gradually. Arizona broke the kiss and looked Callie in the eye while she slowly slid her arms around, flattened her hands on the warm taut skin of her abdomen, rubbing and caressing, gradually working her way up until she reached her full pert breasts and continued with her soft touch, not kneading nor groping, just exploring and feeling, the warmth of her skin, the small bumps of flesh that arose at her touch. Callie mimicked her actions, taking her time, allowing her hands to wander and enjoy the rare moment, to revel in the experience, relish the intimacy.

Ever so slowly, their lips melded together once again and their hands began to move in sync, their touches becoming more deliberate, their need more demanding. Strong tan hands reached the waistband of beige cotton at the same time soft pale hands reached for the button of dark denim. Deft fingers patiently, painstakingly slowly unfastened one another's shorts and slipped their hands into the waistband of both shorts and undergarments and pushed at the fabric until it slid down muscular thighs and pooled around their feet. In unison, they each stepped out of their shorts and shoes and Arizona began walking Callie further into the room until the backs of her legs hit the cool downy fabric of the comforter. Callie sat down and scooted back just enough so Arizona could climb on the bed and straddle her legs. Arizona whimpered when her heated core brushed against Callie's tight stomach.

Arizona looked down and could see dark brown eyes turning nearly black with desire. She hissed when Callie dipped her head down and took one of her aching nipples into her mouth and gently licked and sucked at the turgid bud making both her other nipple and her clit pulse with need, ache with envy for the attention being given to the one small part of her body. Arizona arched her back and tangled her hands in short dark curls pulling Callie closer, silently begging her not to stop. Callie's hands, which were resting on curvaceous pale hips, lazily moved backward to grip the round tight ass she had been wanting to get her hands on all day. She lifted her head and kissed a trail to Arizona's other breast, licked the strawberry bud that was standing at attention and blew her warm breath on it, watching in amazement as small bumps of flesh rose around the areola. She traced the tiny bumps with her tongue then opened her mouth and took in as much of the mound of milky white flesh as she could, pulling back slowly until only the nipple remained and she lavished it with the same attention as she did the other. Arizona rolled her hips against Callie's sex making her buck forward and groan as she felt the moisture drip down her thighs.

She could feel Arizona pushing at her shoulders, wrapped one arm around her slim waist and used the other to help her scoot them both up the bed until they could lie down. Arizona kissed the length of Callie's neck and nibbled on her earlobe as she settled herself on top of her. Callie reached down and removed the artificial limb, gently resting it against the table beside her, then quickly returned her hand to cover the firm round ass and pull Arizona even closer to her. Though the desire was building and their bodies were thrumming with expectation, neither was in a hurry because they knew once they started, they would also finish shortly after and in this moment, they were enjoying the tenderness, the sweetness of the moment and if they were to be honest, the feeling of their soul connecting with its mate. So they continued to touch and feel, rolling their hips together, moving as one while staring into the eyes of the woman they loved.

Neither knew who moved first, but they found themselves on their sides facing one another. Arizona leaned in and traced Callie's top lip with the tip of her tongue, moaning as it was sucked inside. As their tongues danced together in a slow sensual rhythm, their hands moved more demandingly and finally reached where they wanted to be, where the other needed them most. Callie slid her leg under Arizona's residual limb opening them both up and they each hummed in relief as they finally felt the heat and moisture of the other woman on the tips of their fingers, they groaned in unison when they felt the soft touch of their lover part their lips and slowly massage their slick inner passage. Still taking their time, they moved their fingers up and down the length of each other's sex feeling the sweet arousal pool on their fingertips as they circled the throbbing opening, traced the path upward again and teased the swollen red nub with featherlike touches until their hips were rolling together and Callie broke the kiss for much needed oxygen and gasped out, "Inside, God Arizona I need you inside."

Arizona circled Callie's opening with her middle finger; adding her forefinger, she barely broke the barrier and began thrusting with just her fingertips, teasing and taunting until Callie was whimpering and bucking her hips begging for more with just the movements of her body. Finally without warning, she added a third finger and plunged deep into Callie's slick warm channel making her cry out from relief, from the ecstasy, from pure joy of finally being filled. The blonde began a slow rhythm and tossed her head backward, rolling her eyes, hissing, "Yes! Oh God." when Callie finally entered her and she felt the gentle prodding at the sensitive spongy spot just behind her pubic bone. The two found a rhythm that both satisfied their need and teased their senses, filling the silent room with low gasps, moans, and murmurs for more.

Arizona looked deep into Callie's eyes and whispered, "I love you so much." Callie brushed their lips together and responded, "You are my world Arizona Robbins." Feeling her need building, Arizona bit at Callie's pulse point and whispered, "Mmm…so close." Callie's nerves were on fire, they had worked each other up so much and so long, she just needed release and needed it now. She increased her thrusts and Arizona repeated the action until the two found themselves thrusting into one another at lightning speed. Callie rolled them over so Arizona was on her back, making them both cry out, feeling the other thrust deeper than they were able to on their sides. Callie could feel Arizona's walls clenching her fingers, as well as her own abdomen tingling with the imminence of her climax. She lifted her thumb to circle Arizona's clit and let out a low animalistic growl when Arizona pushed down on her own sensitive nub making her buck forward and thrust deeper into the tight channel. Both women felt their bodies go stiff and called each other's name as their orgasm ripped through them and they slowly brought each other down while their bodies trembled and convulsed together.

They each carefully removed their hands and wrapped their arms tightly around the other while they continued to shake from the force of their orgasms, and the intensity of the intimacy. After a few minutes, Arizona realized that Callie still hadn't stopped trembling and her heavy breathing had turned into sobs. She caressed her sweat-slick tan back and asked quietly, "What is it honey?" Callie shook her head and murmured, "These last few days, it just…I could have lost you Arizona…everything, Sofia missing, the presentation…everything reminded me that I could have lost you. I just…I can't imagine a world without you in it and I…it just hit me." She finally lifted her head and Arizona wiped away her tears then kissed her softly and responded, "It's okay, we're okay now, me and Sof are right here. You didn't lose me and you'll never lose me again." Callie sniffled and nodded her head then laughed at herself and asked, "When did I become such a cry baby?" Arizona caressed her face and responded, "You aren't a cry baby, you are a sweet amazing person with a big heart and we both have been crying a lot because we finally know how to show our emotions properly and let each other see who we are and how we feel. This is a good thing honey." Callie nodded then settled herself so she was resting her head on Arizona's chest and not putting all of her weight on her despite the other woman's assurance that she was fine.

Arizona stroked Callie's hair and revealed, "All day today I kept thinking of all these dirty things I wanted to do to you, but once we were alone, I realized all I wanted was to make love to you, just to feel you. I think…these past few days were just so emotional and I came to some harsh realizations too. I needed to show you I love you, make you feel how much I want you." Callie understood exactly what Arizona meant and answered, "I feel the same. I couldn't think of much else, but when we were alone and standing there in the dark, I just needed to go slow, take my time, give you all the love and tenderness you deserve." Callie shivered and Arizona maneuvered them until they were both covered up, pulled Callie tighter to her and asked, "How about we save the hot dirty things for another day and just hold each other until we fall asleep. Callie nodded and it wasn't long before both of them were fast asleep content with being wrapped in the arms of the woman they loved.

Callie awoke to the buzzing of her phone and reached out to see who was calling her so early. Her eyes snapped open when she saw that it was almost 10:30 am and she looked around and realized she was alone in bed. Finally looking back at her phone, she saw she had just missed a call from Stevie and quickly called them back. She had completely forgotten about their plan. The phone rang once and her friend picked up saying, "Please tell me you aren't still asleep and my daughter is running wild through your house all on her own." Callie laughed and responded, "I was, but Arizona is up with them. I don't know why she didn't wake me." Stevie laughed and answered, "Ah, because she's sweet and considerate?" Callie smiled at that, Arizona was indeed sweet and considerate and confirmed, "That she is." Stevie suggested, "I'll give you a minute to get yourself woken up and have some coffee, then I'll have Jordyn make the call." Callie rubbed at her eyes and said, "Bless you. I definitely need the coffee." Her friend laughed and replied, "Yeah, you're kind of grumpy and you don't say much first thing when you wake up." Callie knew she was blushing and responded, "Sorry, it was actually your call that woke me. Give me about a half hour then have her call and as soon as they are all gone, I'll head your way." Stevie agreed and then hung up. Before putting her phone down, Callie noticed she had a text from Barb saying, 'Not true, all set' and furrowed her brow in confusion then figured it was probably an accident.

When she finally had her wits about her, it registered with Callie she could hear giggling from outside and realized the kids were already up and out of the house. Looking down, she also realized she was still stark naked and went to the dresser to grab a pair of sweats and a t-shirt before heading to the kitchen to look for her girlfriend. Reaching the kitchen, Callie smiled when she saw her mug already prepared with cream and sugar sitting next to the pot of fresh coffee. Pouring her coffee, she followed the lilting laughter of her girlfriend out to the patio. Arizona looked up and said, "I have to go mom, my sleepyhead just woke up." She laughed again, disconnected the call then looked up at Callie and puckered her lips. Callie chuckled but happily obliged and kissed the beautiful woman before her. Taking a drink of her coffee, she relished the burn and asked, "Were you going to let me sleep this gorgeous day away?" Arizona scooted over so Callie could have her preferred spot on the sofa and reached out to pull her down next to her saying, "No, I was going to come wake you as soon as I got off the phone with mom." Callie kissed her cheek and asked, "How are they?" Arizona pouted and replied, "Dad has to keep his cast on for another couple of weeks. He has an appointment on the 29th, and he's hoping it will be off by then so they can come to the opening. The trip is just too hard on him with the cast on his leg." Suddenly Barb's text made perfect sense, but Callie played along and tried to console her girlfriend.

Callie took another sip of her coffee, pointed her cup in the direction of the kids and asked, "How long have the three musketeers been awake?" Arizona rubbed her face and answered, "Since about 9:00 am. Sof knocked on the door and asked for chocolate chip pancakes, I saved you some, they are in the oven." Callie kissed her cheek and asked, "So what's the plan for today Counselor Arizona?" Arizona chuckled and answered, camp is over, for the day at least. They asked if they could sleep in the sleeping bags again tonight. I figured we could just hang out around the house, there's enough for them to do here. Maybe take them out for pizza tonight." Callie yawned and stretched, pleased Arizona didn't have big plans that she wouldn't want to change or that would disappoint the kids. Rubbing her eyes, she offered, "That sounds good to me. I don't know why I'm so tired." Arizona felt her head and asked, "Do you feel sick?" Callie shook her head no and responded, "I think it's just the decompression, a lot happened last week and my emotions were all over the place." Arizona nodded in understanding then jumped when her phone buzzed in her lap. Looking down, she saw it was Jordyn, probably wanting to check on Jess.

Arizona picked up her phone and connected the call and Callie tried to hide her smirk behind her coffee mug. She was half listening to the conversation while focusing her attention on the girls who were playing some form of tag. Arizona listened to Jordyn then responded, "Hang on, let me talk to Callie for a sec." She put her phone on mute and told Callie, "Jordyn is going to be in her cousin's wedding in a few weeks and has to go shopping for a dress, she was wondering if the girls and I want to go with her since she has to get a dress for Jess too." Callie pouted then suggested, "I'll miss you, but I think it would be fun." Arizona got back on the phone and told Jordyn she'd love to go and got the details of where they should meet.

When she disconnected the call, Callie suggested, "While you're out you should look for a dress for the gala." Arizona's face lit up and she exclaimed, "Oooh I almost forgot about that. But don't you want to help me pick it out?" Callie thought for a minute, or pretended to and answered, "Actually, I really liked being surprised when we went on our date. Pick something out and surprise me." Arizona asked, "Black or white? Or a combination?" Callie didn't want to answer too quickly so she took a drink of her coffee and answered, "White I think. I'll wear black." Then she added, "Grab the platinum credit card out of my wallet." Arizona scoffed and started to argue and Callie tilted her head and gave her the Torres glare. Arizona huffed and mumbled, "I could buy my own dress." Callie nodded and answered, "Yes, you could and you are perfectly self-sufficient, but you went all out for our date and I know I'm not really planning this one, but I'd like to buy your dress and accessories, so please, let me?" Arizona melted, she could never say no to Callie when she got that tone and batted her big brown eyes at her. Finally she sighed and gave in, "Okay, fine. But don't complain when you think it's too expensive." Callie kissed her cheek and promised, "No complaining, I swear. You're worth every cent and I want everyone there to know the most gorgeous woman in the room is Dr. Arizona Robbins." Callie leaned in and murmured against her lips, "And she's all mine."

Jordyn was already at the dress shop and had the color swatches that were sent to her pulled up on her phone showing them to the saleswoman Mindy and was explaining to her what she needed, when Arizona arrived with the girls. She breathed a sigh of relief and called out, "Oh thank goodness you're here. Stevie has been absolutely no help at all and my cousin is on my case to send her the dress I picked out so she can show the others." Arizona furrowed her brow and asked, "Doesn't the bride usually pick the bridesmaid's dresses?" Jordyn nodded her head and answered, "Usually, but she asked me to pick since I was the one who had to wear it and to be honest, she has no sense of style." Arizona laughed and asked, "So do we at least have colors?" Jordyn held up her phone just as Mindy returned with a variety of dresses in various shades of pink. Arizona looked at all the colors and chirped, "At least she picked good colors." Jordyn nodded and looked at the dresses then asked, "What do you think?" Arizona tilted her head and responded, "Okay, the super fluffy ones and the fuchsia colors are definitely out of the question." Jordyn nodded and agreed, "Absolutely no fluff and fuchsia." Arizona looked at the dresses again and asked the saleswoman, "May I?" Mindy nodded and Arizona picked out a pale pink floor-length dress made of silk with a long slit up the side and a right shoulder asymmetric neckline and held it up to Jordyn. With her long black hair and slightly tanned skin, it would look gorgeous on her. Jordyn held the dress up and walked to the mirror, she had to admit, the blonde had excellent taste.

Jordyn looked at Arizona then at Mindy and asked, "One of the bridesmaids has red hair, would this be a good color for her too?" Both of the other women tilted their heads and Mindy finally called out, Sandy, can you come here for a moment?" When Sandy came out, both Arizona and Jordyn understood why she was called. Sandy was a fair-skinned woman with natural red hair. Mindy held the dress up to Sandy and asked the two clients, "What do you think?" Sandy looked down at the dress then in the mirror and responded, "Oh, I would so wear this. I had no idea this color would look like this on me." Jordyn answered, "I guess that settles it then." Mindy asked, "You don't want to see any more in this color?" Jordyn looked to Arizona then to the girls who were busy tying on hats and veils and said, "I guess it couldn't hurt." While they waited for Mindy to return, Arizona offered, "I'm so glad you called. Cal and I are going to a Black and White Gala in a couple of weeks and I need to find a white dress." Jordyn looked around the bridal shop and laughed, "Well you're in the right place." Arizona laughed as well and answered, "I guess I am."

When Mindy returned with the dresses, Jordyn and Arizona picked through every single one of them and neither liked the style or design as much as the first one. Arizona suggested, "I really like that one, it's just gorgeous." Jordyn nodded and gave Mindy her size and they waited again while she put the other dresses back and came back with the first style in Jordyn's size. While she waited for her friend to change, Arizona walked over to the white dresses and started looking through them, hoping something would pop out at her, all the while trying not to look at the row of gorgeous wedding dresses. It didn't work, when she got to the end of the row, she found herself staring at the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. The bodice was a white lace floral applique with tiny white pearls sewn in and the skirt was a trumpet style charmeuse fabric that pooled at the floor not quite making a long train. She couldn't help but get a closer look and noticed there was a sheer fabric covering the back that gave the illusion that the dress was backless. If she didn't think she would be jinxing herself, she would certainly have them hold this dress for her, but she was afraid to even try it on. Jordyn stepped out of the dressing room and noticed what Arizona was looking at and could see by the look in her eyes exactly what she was thinking. She knew that look because she had the same look the day she found her own wedding dress.

Hearing Jordyn come out of the dressing room, Arizona put the dress back and while her back was turned, the brunette nodded at her saleswoman indicating for her to look in the blonde's direction. Mindy winked at her then they continued on with the fitting. Once they got the measurements exact and Jordyn was happy with the fit, she asked Arizona to help her find shoes and accessories and the blonde happily obliged. Once the outfit was complete, Jordyn handed her phone to Arizona and asked her to take a picture so she could send it to her cousin and she could pass it along to her other bridesmaids. After that was done, they made quick work of finding Jess a flower girl dress. Once again, Arizona was instrumental in choosing the perfect white satin dress with a pale pink applique, oddly similar to the wedding dress she was looking at. Just for the fun of it and because they weren't busy, Mindy and Sandy indulged all three girls and took their measurements and let them try on dresses.

When they were finally finished with Jordyn's task, she turned to Arizona and chirped, "Your turn!" Arizona looked at all the dresses then asked, "Would it be tacky if I got the same style of dress as yours in white?" Jordyn laughed and responded, "Not at all, it's not like we are going to the same event." Arizona nodded and answered, "That's true." She turned to Mindy and asked, "Do you have that same dress in white?" Mindy furrowed her brow and replied, "Let me check." She then left and went to the back room. While she was gone, Jordyn casually roamed the store and stopped when she saw the same dress Arizona was looking at. Arizona walked up behind her and felt the fabric again and asked, "Isn't it gorgeous?" Jordyn took the dress off the rack and held it up to herself and looked in the mirror and casually commented, "I would so consider this dress if I ever got married again." Arizona smiled brightly when her friend held the dress up to her and she sighed dreamily and answered, "Yeah, me too." Jordyn put the dress back on the rack and turned just in time to see Mindy return with the dress Arizona requested.

While Arizona was in the dressing room, Jordyn handed Mindy two separate credit cards, the woman smiled, walked over to a rack of dresses and pulled the price tag from one of them and went to the register. She returned with the receipts and the cards just before Arizona stepped out of the dressing room. Though she thought the dress fit fine, Mindy proceeded to take her measurements, check the hem and go through the entire fitting process suggesting taking up the hem a little and letting out the seam in some areas to better show off her curves. Arizona agreed with the changes and they proceeded to help her find shoes and other accessories as well. Arizona purchased her dress and they both received the dates they could pick them up and they were on their way. Once they were outside, they agreed to take the girls to the pizza place around the corner so they could play games. Jordyn suggested they invite Cal and Stevie to join them. While Arizona was texting Callie, Jordyn also sent off a text of the picture Arizona took along with all the details. When she was finished, she texted Stevie and asked them to join them at the pizza place for dinner.

Callie, Stevie, and Steven were just finishing up with Jo when they both received text messages at the same time. Stevie looked at the picture Cal was holding up for them and responded, "Damn, your girl's got good taste." Callie nodded and smiled then pulled up her contacts and forwarded the picture and the details to the people in her group message. She laughed when she received two messages right away; one saying, 'Of course it has to be pink' and the other commenting, 'Pepto bismol is not my color'. She wasn't surprised by the names of either of the senders. Stevie slapped her back and said, "Well, there's no backing out now." Callie smiled and answered, "I wouldn't in a million years."

A/N: As always, you all are awesome. I have to admit, I shed a few tears myself when I was writing the last chapter.

I'm guessing the cat is out of the bag now…maybe.

Still not Shonda, but I keep wishing.
