Gotta say one thing: I can feel it (love) coming in the air tonight, oh Lord! Hahah Thanks my dimpled beta MindlessStranger and AZsgirl, your reviews are awesome.
Callie's POV
"Dr. Torres, why are you here?" My brain began to wake up from my sleep cloud, I hear Arizona's voice and I quickly try to get up from the chair I was sat which stood beside the bed in room 625, when I feel a force pulling me down, Mathew was lying over me.
In a whisper I replied "You know how children are, now that you gave him the task of being your mini doctor, he felt a responsibility to be here when you'd wake up. Apparently he'll have to control this deep sleep before even trying to get into med school." They both laughed of the situation. I threw the blame on Mathew but deep inside I knew spending time with that blonde was good, I forgot how the world outside was.
Still under effect of the rest of anesthesia, Arizona looked directly to me and to the boy saying "You know, your son looks so much like my brother, if he wasn't your son, I'd think that my brother had left an heir here." Arizona laughed alone, I turned pale as the sky in early evening, my mouth opened but no words came out.
I had already noticed all the similarities between Mathew and Arizona, but it couldn't be possible, I was getting paranoid. A tear began to run down my cheek and I tried not to make too much noise to not wake my boy, because what would be spoken there wasn't proper to be heard by him now.
"Mathew's the result of a sperm donation, there's always the possibility of the donor genes be stronger than mine and he does not look like me at all." Arizona began to get uncomfortable on the bed with the subject brought to this conversation and I continued "Now he understands all this better, but at the beginning it was difficult to explain to him how was the whole process, because what really mattered was that he was loved by his mothers."
"Mothers?" Arizona asked and I prayed that the rest of anesthesia effect was gone as quickly as possible, though it wasn't uncomfortable being here talking to her about issues that have been so difficult to me. For a long time I didn't have this peace while talking about it, the conversation was simple, being here was simple, the boy loved her and for a few days he forgot to ask questions about Lucy due to him being so engrossed in pretending to be Arizona's doctor. And Arizona Robbins start to be an oasis in the desert for me, a relief.
"Yes, but happily I could annul my marriage after Lucy, Mathew's other mother, got outta city to God knows where... past is in the past for a reason." I said.
"You are a great mom, Dr. Torres." Arizona showed her dimples saying this while sleepy smiling and looking tenderly at the boy still asleep.
"Yes I am." I looked at Mathew then at the side, realizing Arizona succumbed to sleep again.
Later that day
"How are we?" I asked back in Arizona's room.
"Well, I can feel the impulses arriving at the muscle in my left arm." She joked, but it was what we really expected.
"And that is precisely why I came here, let's do the final tests and this time you will have to test with the robotic prosthesis attached to your arm." I said smiling from ear to ear and Arizona did the same at the news.
"What are we waiting for?" The blonde asked.
"I'll just have a nurse take your IV and electrodes on your chest. She'll page me you're ready, do not worry." I assured the blonde.
Arizona's POV
We lost track of time in the lab and it was already past midnight, we were testing everything that robotic hand could offer, it was like a new toy for a child. And the image of Dr. Torres celebrating my achieves like it was Superbowl didn't get out of my head.
"Arizona, you robotic arm is already in place, this time we will not need electrodes, the computer tracks the microprocessor which is in the prosthesis and I will have all the information. First of all, we'll test if you can move the robotic limb and then if you can send impulses of strength. Are you ready?" Dr. Torres said and anxiety did not fit inside me anymore.
Wanting to surprise the brunette, instead of answering verbally, I gave Dr. Torres a thumbs up sign with my prosthesis. She jumped from her chair with this sight and came towards me, I immediately got up and the brunette wrapped me in her arms.
"I can't believe it." That's what came out of my mouth. Callie pulled her arms around me and looked deeply into my eyes, I could feel again a shock running through my body. "You can't believe it? You proved that it's possible." She said in a whisper I just lowered my head and laughed, embarrassed with the situation and proximity.
When I raised my head again to face the brunette, she impulsively put a blonde tress behind my ear and her hand gently ran down the side of my chin. I closed my eyes at the sensation. Callie fixed her eyes on mine and I spoke almost choking with my own words "I should go and you probably would rather be with Mathew now."
"He's at his godmother's, Cristina, today. Do not worry, there's no other place I'd rather be but here." Callie said with a velvety voice and I felt that my heart would come out through my mouth (I was in the hospital anyway, it would be no big deal if that happened by the way).
I just couldn't help the closeness, without thinking I raised my right arm to cup her cheek, her hot and steady breath hitting my face. We were milliliters apart, I closed the gap between us, lips touching and sparks flying. Her soft plump lips, I can't describe what I felt when we started moving in sync, ours lips fitting perfect. We explored each other lips for a while, I sucked lightly on her bottom lip before opening my mouth slightly to peek my tongue out, the act brought her back to reality, realizing it was going too fast she pulled apart. I couldn't let her go, not now that I've crossed all the way, I had what I needed for life and I wouldn't let that go. My right hand reached her neck instantly and pulled her back putting a certain amount of pressure, she mumbled something I couldn't hear clearly. She pulled apart once more, perhaps this time the lack of oxygen had caused the action. She rested her forehead on mine and whispered softly "you realize what you just did, right?" I had no idea what she was talking about in such a moment.
"What?" I asked in confusion not knowing where this talk was going.
"When I pulled apart, your arm on my neck, you just... you just forced me back, Arizona! Everything's working, you regained your arm's strength back too." She explained in excitement and I couldn't form coherent sentences yet. "Just come back here and prove that I'm not wrong" Callie said.
All we need is loooove! Let me hear ya, suggestions and reviews keep me breathing!
