[ Part 1 & 2]
After two exhausting surgeries, two preventable incidents with interns, and a load of paperwork, Arizona was finally headed home to her apartment with Callie. The two women had finally moved out on their own to raise a family...but the apartment was convieniently one door down from Cristina's apartment, as well as Mark's. The two women firmly belived that all of them were a family of sorts and wanted to raise their first-born near everyone. Arizona yawned as she jiggled her key in the lock. She pushed the door open slowly, surprised to see tons of bags littering the living room floor. Callie was halfway through setting up a beautiful crib when she noticed Arizona in the doorway.
"Hey baby, what's going on?" asked Arizona, hanging her jacket on a chair and throwing her keys in a giant bowl on the counter.
"I went shopping today. I was just gonna get a few cute onesies, but I just kept seeing all these cute baby things. And I found the crib we were looking at online in the store. It was the last one and I just had to get it. Some of this stuff I don't even know what it is but it seemed neccessary. I just want our baby to have everything he or she needs," said Callie, just a tad out of breath.
"But Calliope, I'm only two months pregnant," said Arizona with a small giggle.
"I know, but I want everything to be perfect. It has to be," said Callie, shuffling around all the bags on the floor. "See here's some bottles. Bibs. Teething rings. Toys. More toys. Baby hair ties. Swaddlers, whatever the hell that is--"
Arizona swftly walked over to her lover, brilliantly maneuvering through all the baby stuff. The blonde caught Callie's face in her hands and looked her directly in the eye. "Calliope. Relax. I love you. You love me. We are going to be amazing parents."
"I know, I know but even the best parents can lose their kids..." whispered Callie, dropping her eyes to the floor, refusing to let unshed tears will the battle.
Arizona sat in front of Callie. "Oh, that's what this is all about. C'mere." Arizona pulled Callie into a tight embrace and began whispering softly into Callie's ear while stroking her dark locks. "It's true that children sometimes don't get the chance to grow up like they should. But we know that and we knew the risks when we decided to try having kids. I'm a world class peds surgeon. We know Addison, another world class peds surgeon. You're an orthopedic surgeon, and we both know kids break bones. We have doctor friends. I think we'll be okay. And if not, we'll get through it if it happens. You can't live in fear, you just look forward. You make plans."
"How do you always know what to say?" asked Callie, grabbing tighter around Arizona's waist.
"It's a gift," simply replied Arizona.
Callie sneaked her hand underneath Arizona's scrub top and placed her hand on the blonde's belly. "I can't wait to feel our baby move. And for you to start craving random, crazy things. I'm glad I'm taking this journey with you. I-I really love you."
Arizona smiled brightly, dimples in full display. "Well, I don't know if it's your declaration of love or my hormones or your hands on me but I am really, really wanting to have some dirty hot sex right now."
Callie smirked and stood to her feet. She picked up Arizona and held her firmly. "Can't deny the mother of my child what she's craving."
"Very true," replied a bubbly Arizona as Callie carried her to the loveliest bed on Earth.
