Callie went up to her lab excited about today. This was the day that she was meeting up with people to get her robotic leg trial started. Nothing could bring her down today she was a happy camper as she unlocked the door to her lab taking in the smell. It's smelt like nothing in particular but if you ask Callie she'd say it smelled like future Harper Avery's. But that's not why Callie did it, no she started this because of a blonde women who just wanted her old life back. Smiling at the thought of Arizona as she turned on the light.

After an hour of work she felt hands snake around her waist. She leaned back into the touch expecting the scent of hibiscus to invade she sense but instead she got lavender.

"Penny," Callie tried her best to cover up any trace of disappointment in her voice.

"How did you know it was me," She could feel Penny's breath on the back of her neck as she pressed against her.

"The lavender gave it away and if anyone else did this it would be highly inappropriate," Callie turned around to give her a kiss.

"So big day," Penny wiggled her eyebrows.

"Yep big day my first is coming in two hours," Callie checked her watch and the clock in the corner of the room.

"Does the doctor get break," Penny tugged on Callie's lab coat.

"Maybe why," this is what Callie needed mindless sex to take the edge off today.

"I just want to take the future Harper Avery recipient to lunch, well lunch in the cafe," Penny smiled.

"Really," Callie couldn't hide her disappointment this time. At the beginning of their relationship it was all sex. Filthy, dirty, nasty sex they didn't go on their first real date till a month in, which isn't that bad when they only saw each other seven times in one month. Six of those times they weren't standing up right. And looking back Callie likes it that way. She wanted more of a sex buddy than a significant other.

"I just I haven't seen you as much because of my schedule," Penny got nervous because of Callie's tone.

"No I don't mean that, it's just you said future Harper Avery recipient, I don't want you to jinx it," Callie lied trying to reassure her.

"I didn't know Dr Calliope Torres was superstitious," Penny giggled.

"Technically Dr. Calliope Torres doesnt have any medical studies out. I just use Callie Torres, it what my colleagues call me it's only my name tag and my lab coat," Callie went off on a tangent "But yeah Dr. Callie Torres is superstitious ," Callie laughed at herself.

"Really," Penny titled her head to the side. It wasn't as cute as when Arizona does it.

"Yeah none of my academic papers have Calliope Torres on them just Callie," Callie admitted turning back around to the leg

"it's easier to pronounce and no one every calls me calliope except my dad and, um you," Callie almost slipped up as she fastened the last screw in the leg.

"Well I love your name," Penny smirked as watched. Callie work.

"Well I like the way you say it," it was half true it wasn't smooth and soft like when Arizona said it but it wasn't stern and choppy like when her father said it. It was a happy medium which she liked but preferred if Penny didn't use it at all. I mean Callie didn't call her Penelope so why did she have to call her Calliope.

"So I heard you just started your trial," Arizona smiled as she walked into the lab.

"I did today was the first day," Callie said looking up from the shell that went around the leg.

"You know I've never been in here I mean when you where working on the leg I'd hear about it but now it's real people are actually going to get one," Arizona smiled as she looked around.

"It's crazy to think that this started as a little idea in my head," Callie wanted to tell her why she really started, but she didn't want to ruin what they had going on.

"Isn't that how most things start?"

"Yeah, but I never thought other people would believe in it, but they did and hunt gave me the space to do it. And today someone tried on the leg and it worked," Callie pushed a stray hair out of her face as she beamed at her creation.

"That's definitely amazing," Arizona couldn't help but smile as Callie smiles gleamed.

"I mean it's half Derek Shepherd with the brain stuff and a bit of hunt with the va connects but everything else is me," Callie rambled.

"Well I'm proud of you."

"Thank you."

"So what are you going to do to celebrate."

"Pennys taking me to this little Italian place downtown," Callie spoke as she put away the equipment for tonight. Living with Arizona for a few years and you learn to be tidy.

"Oh nice," Arizona put on her best fake smile.

"It's the one we went to celebrate the trial remember,"

"Wasnt there remember," Arizona looked down at her leg, the guilt started to rise up.

"Oh yeah but I did bring you home those cannolis and we did go there for date night once or twice" Callie smiled trying to bring up the mood.

"Oh, I did really enjoy those cannolis," Arizona giggle at the memory it was what help Arizona and Callie hold on.

"I could bring you some," Callie lit up at the chance of making Arizona happy.

"Seriously," Arizona smirked.

"Yeah I mean you're giving me a baby the least I could do is get you cannolis," Callie put on the worst Italian American accent ever, which made Arizona laugh.

"Thank you," Arizona pulled Callie into her arms as she giggled. Taking in the scent of vanilla, until a center someone brought Arizona back to reality. Callie tapped her back to get her to let her go and when she came undone she saw Penny staring at them.

"Oh sorry, you two have a good night," Arizona smiled awkwardly as she walked away.

"What was that about?"Penny raised her eyebrows.

"I promised her cannolis from the restaurant," Callie shrugged as she moved the box of tools off the table

"She seemed super happy."

"I mean she pregnant with my child the least I can do is bring her a cannoli," Callie repeated her words from earlier as she moved to turn off the light.

"Okay," Penny threw her hands up as she exited the lab.

"So what would you like," the waiter turned to Callie.

"The Cacio E Pepe," Callie smiled handing the waiter the menu.

"No menu?"asked Penny slightly impressed.

"I've been here a few times," Callie shrugged as the waiter walked away.

"Yeah you told me about the celebration after the trial."

"No Arizona and I used to come her in date night, it's close to Meredith and Derek's old house and they would keep Sofia on date nights," Callie explained.

"Oh," Penny looked surprised.

"Look there is no where in Seattle that I haven't taken Arizona, except for maybe that Greek place," Callie tried to explain.

"Well we go to the Greek place them," Penny crossed her arms.

"Please don't be jealous or intimidate just talk, use your words," Callie could sense a bit of jealousy.

"I don't like that fact that you have history and I don't really like that fact that your history is having your baby and I especially don't like that fact that your history is hot and blonde and fit even though shes pregnant," Penny admitted.

"You're hot and I chose you. If I wanted Arizona I would have Arizona but i don't, I want you."

"Okay."

"Alright," Callie took a big swig from her glass of wine.

"Just a second," She heard as Arizona shuffled to the door.

"Callie, it's 10 at night what are you doing here," Arizona asked as she leaned against her crutches.

"I'm here to bring you your cannolis," Callie smiled peeking at Arizonas exposed shoulder.

"I thought you'd give them to me in the morning at work," Arizona took the box from Callie's hands.

"I'd probably forget them by then. And they're better when they're still warm," Callie scratched her head.

"Okay," Arizona smiled at how awkward callie was moving.

"Thank you," Arizona pulled Callie into a hug to try to alleviate the situation.

"You're welcome," Callie smiled inhaling Arizonas scent, instantly becoming more relaxed.

They jumped away from each other at the honk of the horn from pennys mini cooper. Arizona dropped the box luckily it hadn't opened up but Arizona almost fell off her crutches, seeing as she was using Callie to stand as they hugged and not the crutches.

"Are you okay," Callie gripped her upper arms.

"Tell her don't do that again she could wake up Sofia," Arizona got back on the crutches and Callie handed her the box back.

"Alrigjt I'll make sure she knows, see you tomorrow," Callie smiled.

"Bye," Callie waited till arizona closed the door to leave and Arizona peaked through the blinds to watch as she walked away.

"Hey Callie, the cannolis where awesome just wanted to let you know," Arizona smiled as walked up to Callie.

"Nice, you wanna grab lunch later and talk about vacation this summer because I kinda want to take little miss to Miami for a week after the baby comes," Callie asked?

"Um actually today's therapy day so I'm only on this morning I have a post op to check and a consult and then I'll be gone," Arizona mentioned.

"Oh," Callie scratched the back of her head.

"Yeah, so," Arizona awkwardly shifted.

"Sorry," Callie sighed.

"No there's nothing to be sorry for," Arizona brushed it off.

"Would you like for me to come over tonight," Callie offered, eagerly.

"No I can't take you away from Penny like that," Arizona declined.

"Trust it's okay she's on call tonight ," Callie insisted.

"No I'm good I have Teddy and April," Arizona smiled.

"April who's going through a divorce and has been nursing a bottle almost every night or Teddy who is going through something very publicly with Owen right now."

"Hey I don't shit on Meredith Grey."

"I wasn't trying to shit on them I was just trying to say that I'm here I'm wide open just put me in coach or whatever it is. When I said I wanted to be your friend I meant it. I don't just want to be cordial for the baby's and Sofia, okay," Callie smiled

"You have a shitty way of wording words," Arizona turned and started to walk away.

"Hey some ones mouthy," Callie followed behind.

"So when you say it, it's okay when I say it, it's a problem."

"No i just you rarely curse and only reserve it for important things so today you must be feeling feisty to just do it freely."

"Maybe April has taught me something."

"So would you like for me to come over," Callie asked again?

"Sure but you're cooking," Arizona sighed.

"Okay I get off at 5 today I'll be at your by 6:30 I think Sofia can just stay the night since I'll be over there and I'll just pick her up in the morning."

"Perfect."

"I think I'm pregnant," April blurted.

"What I thought you and Jackson got divorced," Arizona mentioned.

"We did but we thought we'd give it one last hurrah, we had sex a month ago and I have yet to get my period," April explained.

"You were on the pill," Arizona asked?

"Never took the pill, he wore a condom. And why did you automatically assume it's Jackson," April got offended.

"You maybe going through a crisis but your still a good church girl," Arizona pointed out.

"i need you help me with a test," April asked?

"Why not just take an over the counter test?"

"They can be finicky," April mentioned.

"I need Teddy this feels to Deja vu ish."

"No Teddy," April grabbed Arizona arm.

"Why not I need her for moral support and because I have to leave in like five hours and I still need to do rounds and a consult and some charting and paperwork before I leave," Arizona brought up.

"Therapy day," April sighed.

"Yep," Arizona confirmed.

"Dang it go page Teddy," April groaned.

"Wait you think your pregnant so you took an at home kit but want to be sure so you want a blood test," Teddy repeated what had been told to her.

"I know it's almost too real," Arizona smirked.

"What," April wondered what was going on?

"Like a month ago she was you," Teddy explained.

"But I was super in denial, I waited till I was ten weeks," Arizona added.

"It's true,"Teddy giggled.

"What can I say my lover had moved on before I even knew I was pregnant," Arizona sighed.

"What if Jackson's not supportive," April started to panic.

"Starting liking women and move in with Teddy she bi and half available, well all the way available and won't leave you with abandonment issues," Arizona teased.

"You're sick in the head," April huffed.

"That's why I go to therapy. Alright I'll leave you to lady's to it or I'll be late for rounds. And the head of the department can't be late," Arizona smiled.

"I had this amazing friend he was the most supportive man I've ever known. This friend started out as a hookups but it ended up being one of the best friendships I've ever had," Callie started.

"How was he supportive," Her therapist asked?

"He supported every decision I made, sometimes to bad ones too,"Callie smiled at the memories.

"And how did your ex girlfriend feel about him?"

"At first her lesbian friends hated me. But then she stopped hanging out with them and one day she just turned to me and said I don't like you hanging with mark. And of course that turned into one big arguement. She's always had this fear id leave her for Mark," Callie started to talk with her hands.

"Well you kind of did."

"When I got with Mark we were already broken up," Callie pointed out.

"I didn't mean in that way."

"She was gone for three weeks already. She left me in the middle of the airport. I was heartbroken. AndI didn't know she was going to come back. I found comfort in another man's arms so what."

"I don't think it's the man part I think it's the Mark part. Arizona expressed to you multiple times, from what you told me, that Mark makes her uncomfortable. And you shrugged it off and when Arizona leaves you go to mark," She connected the dots.

"I was drunk I didn't mean to have a kid with him. I just wanted some sympathy sex. And I couldn't even really get that because all I could think about what Arizona."

"But you did it, you had sex with Mark."

"I didn't mean to, I mean I did but I didn't mean to feed into Arizonas fears and prove her right. And it wasn't even good sex it was pity sex."

"It was still sex."

"You don't get to make me the villain, she left me crying in an airport," Callie yelled.

"I'm not trying to make you the villain. You came to me because you wanted to mend your relationship with her. And I don't know her, I don't know you either. But from what I hear, or rather what you're telling me she had genuine concerns and you disregarded them."

"I didn't mean to."

"I don't think you did."

"Hey," Arizona opened the door surprised at who was on the other side.

"Hi, can I come in," Callie asked?

"Sure, Sofia just went to sleep," Arizona let her in.

"I'm not here for Sofia, I wanted to talk to you," Callie switch her weight between both her feet.

"Oh," Arizona paused at the island.

"It's not anything bad, at least I don't think," Callie admitted.

"That's not to reassuring," Arizona sighed.

"I'm sorry it's not bad," Callie recanted.

"Still concerned, but could I get you something to drink," Arizona asked?

"No, I'm good, could we sit," Callie asked?

"Sure," Arizona made her way to sit on the couch, Callie following behind.

Callie sat down on the couch with a big sigh.

"So what is it that you wanted to talk about?"

She swallowed the lump in her throat before she started.

"I had my first therapy session today," Callie told her.

"Well good, I'm glad you went," Arizona smiled.

"We talked about you."

"Oh."

"Nothing bad, I promise."

"Okay," Arizona nodded allowing her to continue.

"We talked about Mark too. I don't really no how to start so I'm just going to say it. I'm sorry that I hurt you by not taking your concerns about mark seriously."

"It's okay that was a long time ago and he was head over heels for Lexie I know he didn't want you like that anymore."

"But I still ended up in bed with him after we broke up."

"You didn't know that was coming back."

"Yeah, still it's wasn't the best decision but we ended up with the best outcome."

"She made me read her two books tonight."

Callie smiled at the imagine of Sofia begging Arizona to read her another story.

"Even after that I never set boundaries. He would show up in our apartment anytime he wanted. And I never corrected his behavior."

"He was your best friend."

"If Teddy did that ask you to make sure that never happened again."

"Teddy didn't care enough to barge in our apartment and we didn't share a baby with her."

"Before the baby he would do it too."

"Again he was your best friend."

"Why can't you let me hold myself accountable."

"Because I've already worked through it, I'm okay now. I understand both sides and I've learned to live with it. Besides it the past and I'm ready to move on into the future. I love Mark and I understand why he did what he did and why you acted how you acted towards him. And know it's your turn to work it out. But just know you don't have to apologize to me," Arizona gave a small smile.

"Thank you," Callie fidgeted with the sleeve of her blouse.

"Of course."

(A/N: Arizona is around 18 weeks. I'm re-editing this and some of this is very unrealistic mind you I started writing in this in 11th grade before I really experienced anything so I'm editing this as a freshman in college. And honestly I'm a bit lazy to change something's like Arizona saying aprils late when that's around the time people find out they're pregnant and Callie and pennys sex part when in reality if you're working and in a relationship seeing someone seven times a month if you don't work with the person or live with them isn't that bad as I made it seem in hindsight.

Extra A/N: Sorry I kind of abandoned this or at least I feel like abandoned it. But I'm back I think. Also I'm on holiday break so you'll probably get more chapter out of me. It's not a promise but a probably.
