Am I your girlfriend?
Author: lilyme (aka. redslilstories aka. me ;))
Summary: Set sometime in New York. A cozy night between two old loves. Callie ponders something. Does trouble ensue?
Pairing: Callie/Arizona
Rating: PG

Merry Christmas, guys!
“Oh! Oh, right there! That's it... Ohh, God...” she moaned, as her body writhed on the living room couch. Her senses fully enraptured in the touches of strong, skilled hands.
It was a feeling she had long forgotten; and now she was growing dangerously addicted to it again.
“Shush, sweetie,” her companion admonished with a low chuckle. “You're gonna wake Sofia. Who knows what she'll think we're doing here”.
What they were doing was nothing spectacular, really. Just Callie massaging Arizona's foot after a long day at work.
A day that among other things had her standing at an operating table for ten hours straight.
It had put some strain on her today. Sometimes she found her foot hurting more than her residual limb. She wouldn't say there was an advantage to only having one foot. There couldn't ever possibly be. But she couldn't help but acknowledge that occasionally the superb prosthetic she wore and which was being well-maintained by Callie worked better than her own body.
“That girl sleeps like a rock. Just like her mother!” the blonde protested playfully, pointing out the adorable similarity the 12-year old shared with her birth mom. Nothing in the world could rouse those two once they were asleep. Which on the negative side of course bore the problem of getting them out of bed on a school or work day. “And can you blame me?” she inquired about her inability to stay quiet just now. “Your hands are magical”. Truthfully so, as she could feel her muscles relax significantly under Callie's expert touches.
The brunette chuckled at the compliment. “Admit you missed them,” she said knowingly, and put some extra effort into her ministrations.
“Not gonna lie,” Arizona sighed in agreement.
Seven years she had been without them. Seven years without Callie's divine hands. Without having Callie this near. Without being where she knew she belonged.
Of course she had missed this. Had missed her! And now that they were back together, sharing all these absolutely mundane moments of life with Callie again... it was heaven.
And Callie could only agree.
They both had been with other people through the years. Had loved other people. And even lived with other people for some time.
But nothing, no relationship had ever felt as right as this.
And she was so overwhelmed to be back with Arizona. So grateful for this new chance and their courage to actually let it happen.
She wanted to climb the highest mountain and shout out to the the entire world that Arizona Robbins was hers once again.
That she was once again her...
Huh...
“I'm wondering something,” she announced as the thought grew in her head.
“What?” Arizona encouraged and opened her eyes to look at the other woman. The fascination of watching Callie in though had never lessened. She often felt herself amused and aroused at the same time at the intense look Callie had when mulling things over, and the tiny crease her eyebrows formed at that.
The intense look with the creased eyebrows turned towards her “What... What are we exactly? The two of us?” the brunette spoke in all seriousness. What were they to each other, or to other people, in their new relationship?
And just like that Arizona's amusement faded. Callie's deep thinking sometimes conjured up... Where had that question just come from?
“We're... we're a couple. We're in a relationship,” Arizona frowned and leaned up on her elbows to look up at the woman, who not only currently held her foot, but also constantly her heart in her hands.
They were not yet living together again. Though they spent most nights together at Callie's place. Spending everyday life together and all these wonderful moments little that you could only have with that special someone.
The special someone that Callie truly was for her, despite everything they had to go through long years ago.
And of course spending this new stage of their lives with the person that was most special to both of them – Sofia. Their daughter had taken this development like the most normal thing in the world. Like it had been clear to her that this would happen again one day. That her parents would be together again one day.
And as clear as things were to Sofia and herself, Arizona thought they were clear to Callie too...
That the state of their relationship was nothing to question.
“No. I mean, yes! I...,” Callie shook her head at the confusion she was causing. That had come out way more serious and insecure than she had intended. “Of course we are,” she assured, stroking Arizona's shin in reassurance. “I just meant, what are we to each other? Like... am I your 'girlfriend'?” she stressed the word.
“Oh,” Arizona raised her eyebrows, finally the true reason behind Callie's question dawning on her.
True, they were many years older now than when they had first started dating. So maybe Callie didn't want to be referred to as her 'girlfriend' anymore.
“Well, you wanna be my middle-aged lady friend?” Arizona joked in mischief.
“Okay, that was enough foot rub for you,” Callie declared mock-offended, and dropped the extremity in question unceremoniously into her own lap.
“Hey, I'm sorry,” the blonde quickly apologized, sitting herself up fully, while Callie cleaned her foot as well as her own hands from remnants of massage oil. Arizona gained a bit of relief from the brunette's exaggerated pout. Because it showed her that she was not really miffed. Or if so, at least only a tiny bit. “I personally like calling you my girlfriend,” she argued.
Of course considering they had been married already, referring to each other as 'girlfriends' once more might at first seem strange. However, right now it was what they were, as far as conventional dating terminology was concerned.
“I could call you my partner, but that sounds like we're running a business together”, she grimaced, and Callie agreed. “But if you like it better, I'll gladly refer to you as my Care Bear, my Cuddle Monkey?” she tried and relaxed all the more when Callie smiled at this.
“Cuddle Monkey, huh?” Callie wondered, looking into Arizona's twinkling eyes.
“If that's what you like,” Arizona repeated.
“Okay, then you are... my Baby Blue Eyes,... my Sweet Cheeks,” she smirked, the back of her left hand moving up to track just those features of Arizona's pretty face. “My... Honey Buns?” Callie went on, knowing they were steering away from the intention of her original question, but this was fun.
“Oooh!” Arizona grinned at the implications of the last one. “Wait, wait, I know... my Kitty Kat,” Arizona tried terms herself, while busy grinning at the their affectionate and dorky attempts. “My Fluff Muffin...”
Callie guffawed at the last one. “Oh, my God,” slapping Arizona's leg affectionately.
At this the blonde couldn't resist and leaned in to kiss the amused cheek tenderly.
“Please don't call me 'Fluff Muffin' in public,” Callie lived out the rest of her chuckles and rested her head against Arizona's.
That was when the blonde remembered that they were looking for a term to use with other people.
“Well, how about 'My woman' for that purpose?” Arizona suggested and looked at the brunette expectantly.
“'My woman',” Callie let the word roll off her own tongue. While some people might perceive it as offensive using this to refer to your significant other, she'd actually prefer it over 'girlfriend'. May it be because it almost came close to another special term.
“What?” Arizona wondered intrigued, seeing that little flicker on Callie's face.
And Callie startled at the blonde's perception, having hoped Arizona wouldn't notice.
But then again they had known each other for over ten years. So, Arizona could read her like a book. “I...,” she began, almost not bringing herself to form the words. But Arizona's warm eyes and gentle dimples made her proceed with what was only the truth. “I always thought 'my wife' sounded beautiful”.
There.
There it was.
That fleeting thought that had crossed her mind for a second, maybe two.
It was a natural thing, considering what her and Arizona had been before.
But was it something they should ever be again?
Considering everything the thought of them as a couple alone should make them run.
And apparently Arizona had exactly that thought as she moved away from her, and looked about to fall off the couch in attempt to do so.
“Wait, d-don't go,“ Callie blurted, trying to stop her from running. Fearing she had just thrown everything they had rebuilt in the last years to the wolves.
“Not going,” Arizona reassured, as her hand reached an item on the floor. “I just feel like I want to wear some pants for this”. She pulled the piece on without putting her prosthetic on, indicating that she really was not planning on leaving.
“Okay,” the blonde exhaled deeply as she sat back up and faced Callie with a gentle and sincere look, and spoke softly, “Do you... Do you mean it?”
Callie gulped, as she pondered the question and how to reply.
As she wondered what she wanted her own answer to be.
As she wondered what Arizona might want her answer to be.
Did... was this something that Arizona wanted to be to her? Her face was so unreadable to her right now.
God, what had she just steered them into?
“I... do you want me to mean it?” she stalled.
“I... I'm,” Arizona stammered, most apparently unsure what to reply either. “Do you want me to want you to mean it?” she retorted. And despite the tension they both felt right now, the prospect of this game of avoiding an actual answer never ending made them both laugh wholeheartedly.
Callie slapped her hand onto Arizona's thigh and used the other to wipe her tears of laughter from her eyes.
And Arizona sat and watched her through her own joyful tears.
Finally the blonde clasped the hand on her thigh with both of hers. “Listen, Calliope,” she said lovingly, steering the conversation back to the elephant that had stumbled into the room. “I... I loved being your wife. I loved our marriage. The pride of being able to introduce you, this amazing woman, as my wife to other people. And...,” she sighed, “I hated how it all ended. That we hurt each other so much. That we weren't able to look at each other without disdain. And that was one of the most awful experiences in my life”.
She saw how Callie let her head sink and quickly continued.
“But I love the idea of us. Of experiencing all these moments with you, no matter how important or small. And I want us to have so many more, years, decades, heck, centuries together, alright?” she reassured.
“Yeah,” Callie smiled softly. She herself wanted nothing more than to grown old and wrinkly with Arizona. Cherish all the moments that could be ahead of them.
And maybe they should leave it at that.
Maybe they should do without labels and just focus on honoring what they had.
Hopefully decades of joy and love ahead of them.
Just when she had almost ended that topic for herself, Arizona surprised her, as she continued, “But I'm not saying no, you know”.
“What?” the brunette raised her eyebrows, not sure if she had understood correctly.
“I mean, not now. Because I think it's too early. ” she argued and Callie nodded in agreement. “But maybe in a year or two, we could talk about it again,” she promised. “Because it's not a horrible thought, per se. It's a thought that makes me grin with anticipation,” she confessed and did just that. “I just think we should give it time... Sound good?”
“Sounds perfect,” Callie signed deeply in contentment. Her fears of having ruined their new start by one scarily beautiful thought turning into delightful excitement.
“Besides for now...,” Arizona added with a look that soon made Callie excited for something else, “I like being your 'girlfriend'... or being your 'woman'...or, heck, Honey Buns. It's pretty, uh, it's pretty hot,” she grinned, as she casually climbed into Callie's lap.
“It's definitely hot,” the brunette agreed, as her hands instantly sought out the blonde's honey buns. “Come here,” she leaned up, desperate to taste some of that hotness. That fire and sass that had always been there with Arizona more than with anyone else she's been with.
And wife-y Arizona would never lose any of that. She knew from experience.
There were stories from their marriage. Stories you'd never believe if you only knew Arizona casually. Naughty stories that made her horny just thinking back on them.
Stories she would never let anyone else know, but was looking forward to fill an entire imagined book series with.
“What's that grin about?” Arizona asked challengingly, looking down into Callie's amused face.
“Think we can agree that you didn't really need those pants?” the brunette wondered, nestling at the waistband, ready to start writing.
The blonde chuckled at the welcome implications before leaning down and kissing her cheeky Fluff Muffin. “Play your cards right”.

Let's say you had a challenge to write a fic including 5 of the most popular but worst Calzona fic ideas: Arizona carries Mark's baby after his death (surprise: it's triplets!), Barbara and Daniel are Callie's biggest fans, Callie secretly develops a prosthetic leg and Arizona loves it, Lucia suddenly becomes the most supportive mother ever, Arizona changes her last name to Torres. You have to write a decent realistic fic but include all these things. How would you do it? How would you write around those things, what would be the circumstances that would make them somewhat acceptable? Would it even be possible?
hm okay amazing
i think you’d probably want to start with lucia’s reconciliation. like actually start pre plane crash. maybe after seeing mama o’malley callie reaches out. actually no arizona reaches out bc she feels awful about callie losing her mom. and also then bring in the robbinses a bit more and have arizona going to her mom for advice. and her mom who takes it upon herself to really be a mom to callie. and naturally daniel also is swayed by both sofia and callie and becomes quite friendly since callie knows more about football than either of his kids ever did and callie’s way more interested in his wood working projects vs arizona who hates the idea of splinters. so that’s two bits done and dusted
and now for the tricky part. marks sperm. which is a phrase i hate a little more every time i write it. so okay let’s say everything’s normal through mid season 9 or so and then we have a few things happening. first off, we have callie who starts developing a prosthetic in advance of arizona really being engaged with it. she’s at best distant about the prosthetic situation and she doesn’t want callie involved. but callie who needs to be involved in some way so she starts intensively researching prosthetics and wanting to know everything possible so she can help arizona in whatever way. and sort of by chance she starts actively developing one but it’s mainly theoretical at that point. and then then we have calzona who (rush) decide they want to have another baby. double points if they were actually planning on it beforehand and it’s more of a continuation than a brand new idea. maybe something about mark having left them his sperm (gross gross gross) so sofia could have a sibling - would probably pre establish that callie knew she couldn’t have kids after the crash and mark was also aware. maybe also toss something in there about how mark had made a point to tell arizoan that he wouldn’t want to be a dad to those kids if they used his sperm and only sofia would be his. just to make it slightly less weird (it’s still fucking weird team )
and add in some elements of arizona being too worn out with everything but also wanting to make callie happy so she rushes into the pregnancy and they have marks sperm and the kid will be related to sofia that way. and really, that’s how lots of people do ivf, they use the same dad so maybe it’s not totally weird.
and arizona is pregnant and depending on angst levels, miscarries once or not at all. lucia and carlos come on a surprise visit early on and it stresses arizona out but it’s also kind of a good bonding moment for her and callie who haven’t really been on the same page for months. (and thus we’ve missed the cheating)
and with arizonas pregnancy, callie decides to reveal that she’s been toying with developing prosthetics and she wants to help arizona. arizonas very resistant to it but she’s also having mobility issues bc of the pregnancy. they argue for like a month straight and arizona doesn’t want to be callies patient or test subject. and callie just wants to help her wife. callie even offers to not publish the research and it’ll just be for arizona not anyone else and arizona sort of agrees but with lots of conditions - like callie getting another ortho involved who will manage arizona’s case and callie only being involved with the actual development of the prosthetic and not arizona.
and finally, arizona becoming a torres - as arizonas due date approaches, and they’re discussing baby names, arizonas very aware that they will all have different surnames. callie’s a torres, she’s a robbins, sofias a torres-sloan and the baby will be a robbins-torres. and so arizona decides she wants to be a torres so they can all have the same name and they’ll use robbins (or robbin??) as a middle name. and probably toss in a fair bit of arizona who’s always struggled with the pressures of her name and how she wants to be a family yada yada yada
arizona has the babies and they all live happily ever after
so how did i do?

So sorry to be the one who broke the bad news!! I’m thrilled to see the community fighting and some media outlets write about the outrage. But I’m sure many feel that this could be another WN emotional roller coaster, so that’s not great.
All that said, I’m so grateful to have gotten what we got on screen from a network show. The cast and crew who have been so Team Kacy. And most of all, that the show sparked REALLY talented queer writers, you’re on the top of my list, to write amazing stories about Kacy and the ohana. So whatever happens, I’m glad you’re a part of this community and I get to revisit your work to soothe the sadness and anger that will bubble up for a while.
And fully with you when you posted about always getting knocked down my a Jemily gifset. I think my touchstone ships have been Jemily, Calzona, and now Kacy. Forever floored by a gifset that shows up on the dashboard of this perfect hellsite.
Ugh… what a shitty weekend
-AM goo friend
it’s cool, alex mack goo friend. it’s cool. it has unofficially given me permission to never consume new media though. i’ve got enough trust issues i can’t be adding network television. hashtag get fucked CBS.
i am grateful for the people i’ve met and the people who i’ve connected with. it’s always nice to be in a new fandom and find new people—or even “old” people from other fandoms in previous years. time and fandom are both flat circles. we’ll meet some of these people again. and i’ll gladly follow every one of these actors to whatever their next venture is.
jemily, my beloved. something is happening and on my twitter feed (i am such a lurker), there’s TONS of jemily tweets. i don’t know why. maybe god knows i need them in my life. but i am not mad about it and i will continue to read and watch and yearn for simpler times.

Another ask if you feel like answering: name your three favorite characters, three favorite canon romantic ships and three favorite friendships/family relationships from each of these fandoms: HP, Grey's, SPN, and Friends :)
I always feel like answering your asks, dearie! <3
HP:
- 3 favorite characters: Harry himself (which I feel is kinda rare? people tend to dislike him), Remus Lupin, Ginny Weasley
- 3 favorite canon ships: Hinny, Ronks (I understand the controversies! I understand the out-of-canon context for the ship! But I love them so much together omg), Romione
- 3 favorite gen relationships: Golden trio, the Marauders (I’m obsessed with them fr), Bronze trio (Ginny, Neville, Luna)

- 3 favorite characters: Dean, Charlie, Benny
- 3 favorite canon ships: Dean x Lisa, Dean x Cassie, Dean x Crowley (look I’m playing a little fast and loose with the word canon in here today I know but they had a “summer of love” did “amazing things to triplets” and had a breakup on screen we can extrapolate a little).
- 3 favorite gen relationships: Dean x Benny (which I also ship a whole incredible lot in a romantic way), the whole Apocalypse team (Dean, Sam, Bobby, Cas, Jo and Ellen) and Sam x Dean (ok I can be grumpy about them ik ik but in the end they have my heart).

- 3 favorite characters: Monica, Chandler, Rachel
- 3 favorite canon ships: Mondler, Rachel x Joey, Phoebe x Mike

Oh so you loved when everyone attacked me, what a nice friend you are.......🖕🏻
Now you choose amiga.
Alias or Ghost whisperer? Maya Bishop or Charlotte King? Charity and Vanessa or Maya and Carina? Hiking or writing?
dude bro... you nicknamed me "shit disturber" like month one of our friendship. Are you actually surprised that I was over here laughing my ass off at the unanimous decision to completely disregard your one request when you reblogged that post? 10/10 Marina fandom!
1. Alias or Ghost Whisperer?
Easy. Ghost Whisperer was a beautiful love story and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the show as it aired, but even when Melinda was being a total bad ass, someone (Jim) would come to her rescue. Sydney Bristow, on the other hand, was established as a woman who could stand on her own two feet in episode one of Alias. Sure, she fell in love eventually, too, but her autonomy was usually front and centre and I'd never seen a character written like that on TV before her. I choose Alias.
2. Maya Bishop or Charlotte King?
Easy again. Charlotte was iconic, but I never got truly obsessed with that show or her character the way I have with Maya. Station 19 stuck a hand through the screen and grabbed me by the throat to say, "Look! This is what you look like! This is what you could be! These are the dark paths you could tumble down if you don't do the work!" I've never felt more represented on screen. I choose Maya.
3. Charity and Vanessa or Maya and Carina?
A lot of the fun of Charity and Vanessa was the fandom, tbh. It's a weird privilege to have access to characters every day of the week and really see their story unfold, but the fandom - particularly the fanfiction - that was born of that time was just... like nothing I've ever experienced before. It pushed me so much to be greater and do more with my own work, for which I will never be able to truly express my gratitude.
With Maya and Carina, though, there's a different sense of community around the show. I think I'm more deeply invested in the storylines because I see so much of myself in Maya. My experience in the fandom is extremely curated, but I've had a lot of fun with the friends I've made and I'm so excited to see old friends from the Calzona fandom slowly joining the circles. It's a bonus, I think, to be able to get so much behind-the-scenes content from the team on Station 19. I choose Maya and Carina. (Biased because I've written my favourite fic ever for this fandom, but it's because of the time I spent with Charity and Vanessa.)
4. Hiking or writing?
This is the utmost cruel one of this bunch. Both of these things impact my health in different ways. Both of these things are integral to my understanding of who I am and how I fit in the world. I've done without hiking for much of this year, though, and even if my body feels strange and foreign... I'm mostly okay. Writing, however, I lived without for many years while my health was terrible and... I wasn't okay then. For a multitude of reasons, but I think writing was a big factor. If I lost every sense and all my freedom, I'd still want to tell stories.
ask game

Is there a specific episode where Station 19 jumped the gun for you? Deluca dying is when I knew that the show had no real investment in Carina and slowly started losing interest. Their marriage and that lame fight proposal was strike two and babies was strike three. Didn’t care with Calzona and didn’t care here. I stuck out this season because they moved on from kids a bit but all the drama felt forced instead of endearing them to me and like you I think it might be time to let go :( Rip to Greys Carina she will always be a top notch character.
Oh, but I'm still watching, and overall my opinion hasn't changed that much! I think it's still an okay show, scoring around an average of 7 (in comparison, Grey's at its best was a 9 at least). From the start there have been parts and characters I enjoy, and ones that I'm less interested in. I loved Maya from the start and I still do (the drama had its great moments too), but when it comes to her relationship with Carina I'm just not that invested anymore - which isn't a deliberate choice! In itself, they still have their cute, fun, etc moments, but within the bigger picture they've started to feel too detached from the rest to me, and I'm not thrilled about that. (Plus, yeah, babytalk... who needs it, really). My interest in Marina isn't what makes or breaks the show to me though. I wouldn't have enjoyed the first two seasons if it did. S19 is more than one character or ship. I've always enjoyed Vic and Travis (and I loved Vic and Ripley), I've got a real soft spot for Jack, and this last season Andy really started to grow on me. In general I just hope for more fun and action, and for less politics (incl the constant captancy talk etc). I hope to see them as a team again, instead of all these little, seperate storylines and (thus) scenes with their s.o.'s. Those folks can be waiting for them at home after a rough shift, or joining them on their anual bbq, I'm all good with that, but please, just let our heroes - finally! - be heroes again!

Even if we lost we did a good much
I'm still happy about this team
We had several chances
We must be more accurate tho
Obviously taking goal at 89' with also one man less it's not great...
Sometimes I think that maybe the revolution of Iceland must start from the bench, with no offense to the actual coach but maybe we need someone good with a nice international experience with this kind of teams
I mean like Belgium with Domenico Tedesco or Hungary with Marco Rossi or Slovakia with Calzona
They're all Italian 👀
Maybe we can try with an Italian coach 👀👀👀

About to enter the house, Callie was startled by her energetic daughter yanking open the front door and jumping out.
"Hi, Mama!" Sofia gifted her mother with a sideways hug, her head already on an entirely different matter, "I'm gonna feed the chicken and see, if they have any eggs for breakfast!"
"Okay," Callie smiled at the eagerness of her offspring and went inside. How anyone genetically related to her could be this perky in the morning, was a mystery to her. She herself most of the time was as cranky as a bear at this time of day.
But she knew whose notoriously good morning mood had rubbed off on the girl and soon found the perkiness personified in the kitchen of the house that kind of resembled this attitude as well. With its light colors, flowery decorations and overall pretty girly atmosphere.
It was the house Arizona had chosen to live in, and it fit her like a shoe. Including the coop full of chicken she had always dreamed of.
Callie had a mixed relationship with the fowl. The rooster of the bunch, King Louie, always tried to peck her, but only her. The chicks, Dolores, Selma and Agneta were nice enough, though. And the smallest of them, little Betty, seemed pretty fond of her and came fluttering over whenever she neared the coop. Which itself was a rare event, but if she did, she always found herself giggling at the little thing's antics.
The chicken owner smiled as she took notice of the woman's presence. "Hi! Did you get everything?" the blonde wondered, as she bustled about the kitchen.
"Uh, yeah, I did," Callie replied and held up two paper bags with freshly baked goods. "Even got some raspberry cream cheese danish". She knew they were Arizona's favorites, but not always available... because they were a lot of other people's favorite as well.
"Aww, you're so sweet," Arizona gushed, as she followed Callie into the dining room, where the brunette was arranging the assorted roll, croissants and danish on the table.
Since Arizona had relocated to New York as well, this Sunday breakfast was their weekly ritual. With their always busy schedules, caught between school, work and research, Sunday was often the only day that all three of them had off.
And they made sure to make the most of it. Callie bringing goods from the bakery, Sofia fetching eggs and Arizona preparing them a yummy breakfast they'd enjoy in all length together and talk about what was happening in their lives right now. Things Sofia was doing in school, talks about their projects at work and everything else they had on their minds.
And from the pensive look Callie wore on her face this morning, Arizona knew there was something massive on her mind right now.
"You look... kinda perturbed," Arizona tried carefully as she watched the brunette from the entrance to the room. She had known Callie long enough to notice that furrow in her brow. Even having been divorced for years she had never lost that ability to read her. Where other people maybe even saw a neutral expression, she could detect the slightest disturbance in her mood.
"Hm?" Callie looked up at the alarmed woman, smiling lightly at the blond emotion detector. Always on the lookout for the well-being of the people around her. A trait Callie had never failed to appreciate - even during their rockier phases. And now that they were on good terms again and she had Arizona as a constant presence in her life once more, she rarely hesitated to express her thoughts. "Oh, I just got a mail from Mer this morning. About things happening in Seattle and stuff".
"Huh," Arizona nodded at the explanation. They still kept in contact with their friends on the West Coast, as much as time and distance allowed.
Arizona still held pretty close bonds with April. April, who had settled in nicely with Matthew, Harriet, Ruby and their newborn son Philip and was living an uneventful and simple life.
And both of them still heard regularly from Teddy, Meredith and the others. But news from that front often more or less equaled a soap opera. A not necessarily well-written soap opera with too much what-the-heck drama and too many you've-got-to-be-kidding-me twists and turns for the worse. It would actually be funny to witness the ridiculousness of it all, if it wasn't happening in real life.
"Is something wrong?" Arizona subsequently wondered, and pushed herself off the door frame as Callie pulled out her phone, apparently willing to let her read the mail as well.
The brunette handed her phone after a few taps and Arizona began reading unusually long text, bordering on a rant she had received from Meredith.
And then she watched as Arizona read it, expecting to find the same emotions she had felt overcoming the blonde. Emotions of disbelief and a good part of anger.
After walking the length of the living room a few times while studying the text intensely, the blonde retreated to the couch, her face still surprisingly neutral. Eventually she let the phone sink into her lap and spoke softly, "Well... that's a major plot twist," her eyes still on the words written.
Callie was confused by Arizona's calmness. "Wh... That's all you're gonna say to that?" she asked as she sat next to the blonde.
"Well...," Arizona muttered, confronted with upset Callie, "as his mentor, I hope he finds a hospital that can really appreciate the outstanding doctor he's become," she spoke with a little sentiment, as she thought back on the years she had trained the man Meredith's elaborate text was about in peds.
Alex Karev had without a warning decided to leave behind Seattle and everything he had there to start a new life in the middle of nowhere. Or – as it was officially called - Kansas.
A move that in itself would be difficult to understand, since he had a promising career set in Seattle. But apparently there were reasons not in anyone else's control.
"As his friend...," she continued with a shrug, "I hope he'll find all the happiness he deserves. Though I have to say that ditching Jo via letter is so...," she shook her head, and finally Callie could see some emotion bubbling up in her, "God, I feel so awful for her. Believe me, if I had a brick right now, I'd hit him in the head from here!"
"Yeah!" Callie sighed, relieved that she herself wasn't just overreacting about all this, but that his behavior towards Jo really was a low blow.
Callie had seen him grow, witnessed the transformation from a fairly douchy intern who didn't particularly care about the women he slept with to not only a well-respected surgeon but also a man who had truly learned to invest into his relationships and cherish them.
And she knew that Arizona had witnessed it all even closer, having spent years working with him side by side on a daily basis. It had to be a letdown. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched the blonde's grip tighten around her phone as the woman's thoughts now clearly circled around this upsetting new development. Carefully she wrangled the device out of the tense fingers before it met its fate as a substitute brick.
Arizona looked at the brunette and saw the mildly warning look telling her to let her phone live and released it with a faint smile. "It's a load of crap," she summed up her thoughts about Alex and Jo. Jo, who had also become a much beloved friend to her over the years. Their wedding... or rather all the mishaps happening on the day of their wedding... were among the last active memories she had of Seattle, with her and Sofia having left later that night to come to New York. Now she thought that maybe all the hindrances that day had been a sign for them. That some Powers that Be didn't think they belonged together. And rather wanted him in someone else's arms. "But... I don't know... if Izzie makes him happy..."
Immediately Callie scoffed beside her, and Arizona pressed her lips together. She knew Izzie was a sore spot for Callie. Understandably, after all the humiliation she has had to face back at the hospital in Seattle because of her. And that didn't even only involve Izzie sleeping with George.
And then there was everything else... "The way she's treated Alex... I mean, she's left him in debt with her hospital bills and just disappeared. That's not what you do. I know how long it's taken him to get out of that and get over her. And now he's going back to the person who's hurt him more than anyone?" she shook her head before letting herself sink against the backrest of the couch. "I don't see why. Think he's just doing it for the kids?" she wondered about the twins that Izzie has apparently given birth to five years ago.
She looked expectantly at Arizona, who had turned towards her and sat with her leg bent, her head braced on her fist and her face... sporting two raised eyebrows and a pensive look.
Callie countered the expression with a soft "What...?", unsure of what it was supposed to tell her.
"You know... that a lot of that is exactly what can be said about us, right?" Arizona voiced her thoughts carefully.
"What...!?" Callie repeated, though fairly shriller now, startled at the statement her girlfriend suddenly confronted her with. "We're not... I...," she stammered as she sat up, afraid that Arizona still held a grudge against her. Even though she had reassured her that she didn't.
"Easy, sweetie...," Arizona tried to calm her with a hand to her thigh. She knew what Callie wanted to say. "I'm don't mean the fight over Sofia's custody. Though it was... really painful for all of us," she exhaled deeply, thinking back on it.
And Callie bowed her head, not able to look the blonde into the eye. Because she knew she was the main cause for all that pain, having had her lawyer throw the worst accusations at her then ex in court.
"I...," Arizona continued, "there are the things that let up to that... The way I treated you after my amputation. The way I yelled at you, threw things at you, verbally and literally... It was a low that I never thought I could reach. But then... I cheated on you. And I realized I could go even lower. And I will forever hate myself for that," her voice trembled.
Callie looked back up at the blonde, who was obviously struggling to keep her emotions in check as she remembered that time. That time she had broken her ever-so-supportive wife. And Callie remembered too. It was something that still hurt her deeply.
"That you were even willing to start new with me then... after the damage I've done... it was more than I could have hoped for," Arizona began to sob, as her tears finally overwhelmed her, and Callie cupped her hand in comfort, wanting to show her that everything was okay now.
Only to have Arizona's train of thought steer back to where it had taken off. "But I guess we weren't ready then and it consequently ended in divorce... with all its unfortunate consequences. And a lot of people would say that it all should have ended there. That we are just no good for each other".
"But who are they to judge?" Callie protested, her face a whirl of confusion and fear, still not sure where Arizona was going with this.
No one else had a saying in their being together. Yes, part of her was scarred from the betrayal. And she knew Arizona was still reeling from the custody battle too... among other things. But they had learned to cope over the years. And had even learned to heal.
And when the blonde turned her hands in Callie's to clasp them with a teary smile and replied "That's what I mean," Callie finally realized her intentions. "We've made mistakes. It's blatantly obvious, and we both know it. But... the moment Sof and I landed in New York, and I saw you standing there, smiling impossibly wide not at her, but at me... I just...I knew it had been the right decision," Arizona remembered the first time she had seen the brunette after over a year of having only communicated via texts and phone calls. "That I was coming home".
And while Callie had changed, most obviously her hair style, now cut short and shaved on the sides, she was still the same woman Arizona had fallen in love with way, way back in Seattle.
Callie smiled at this, remembering how elated she had been when Arizona had told her, Sofia would come back to New York. That she would finally be with her daughter again. And she remembered her nervousness at hearing that Arizona would accompany her. Unsure of how the blonde stood towards her. After all, Arizona was giving up her established life because Callie had fled to the East Coast to pursue a relationship that had failed after only seven months. It could be cause for resentment.
But seeing Arizona again in person and hearing how excited she was, it had calmed her. And listening to her tell her about everything she had planned for her new life and showing true interest in everything the brunette had experienced in New York so far... Callie had known it would be good.
As it turned out better than good.
While their main priority was Sofia and the girl's well-being in her old, new, old life in New York, this priority had inevitably drawn Callie and Arizona closer again. In the first two months in New York they had spent more time together than in the two years between their separation and Callie moving to New York.
First as parents, then as friends.
And at some point the friendly parents had remembered what they had once loved about the other. And still loved.
Of course there had been trepidation about starting anew. After all, they had already screwed up massively and made life impossibly hard on so many people. Especially Sofia.
But with exactly that past, they were wiser now and knew what it took to make it work. Talking to each other, listening to what the other woman was saying, and also get help from outside, if necessary.
And so far they were doing extremely well.
Arizona's heart smiled as she saw Callie relax visibly. Now that it was clear to the brunette that they weren't in any trouble. That this was the opposite of trouble.
She cupped Callie's cheek. "I still you so much. More than ever before," she reassured Callie. "You make me happier than anyone else ever could. Despite what other people might think. They aren't important. We are. We belong together. And there's really no one else I'd want to spend my life with".
"I love you too," Callie whimpered and leaned forward to engulf her love in a fierce hug, so grateful to have Arizona back in her life. Despite all the evils that had happened to them and that they had partly afflicted on each other. But Arizona was right. They belonged together, despite their past. "And I'm so happy to have you back," she continued, and received reassuring kisses to her cheek.
It was only two months ago that Callie and Arizona had moved into Arizona's dream house. And while the situation was still somewhat new, and she was still getting used to its girly charm and the pecking of King Louie, she never wanted to leave this place anymore,
Because it held her love. It held her life. Her dream.
"So... Alex and Izzie... think you can handle it?" Arizona questioned as she eventually released the brunette.
"Hm," Callie pondered, "if she makes him happy, I guess" she simply returned, Arizona's reasoning that an outsider's opinion to this couple was not that relevant still in her ear. "Plus, it's not like I have to interact with her. Kansas is far enough, luckily. Though I have to say, I'd love to meet the kids".
Arizona laughed at this. "I know! If his genes hit through, they're probably pretty..."
"... grumpy, smart-ass and foul-mouthed?" Callie offered tongue-in-cheek.
"I was gonna say, quite a handful. But... yeah, that works," Arizona giggled. "But definitely adorable".
"Mami, Mama! I got some eggs!" Sofia came rushing inside with a little basket containing four eggs. "And I fed the chicken too. But Selma and King Louie weren't hungry. I think they were playing piggyback. Or they are making a baby chicken. Which is... eww...," she exclaimed.
The women laughed wholeheartedly at their girl. Sofia knew all about the birds and the bees, the roosters and the hens or the mamas and the daddies by now. And while she was fascinated by the concept of creating life, the way to make it happen pretty much appalled her.
Which Callie and Arizona were very okay with. At her age of eight, turning nine soon, they much preferred that attitude over too much curiosity about the act itself.
Eventually that would come, and they knew that in a few years from now they would be having a more serious talk about how human babies were made. Arizona had already joked that they'd probably decide over a party of Rock, Paper, Scissors about whether her or Callie would have to have that talk with their daughter.
But they were so happy they could experience Sofia grow up and learn new things every day together.
They had been given this new chance. And they worked every day to cherish this chance, despite outside opinions.
They wanted to be their best together. And they wanted to be their best for their kid.
And that made them understand Alex' motivations. His need to be with his kids. And his need to be together with the woman he had learned to love again despite their past.
And despite ambivalent thoughts they had on it all, they wished him all the best.
