I only miss you when I'm breathing (21/?)
I want to go!
Arizona’s first trip back to Africa was coming up in about two weeks. Callie knew the date, so she decided to get a head start and book their tickets now. She was online about to do just that when Arizona came through the door.
“Hey beautiful, how was your day?”
“It was exhausting,” Arizona said as she came over and curled up to Callie on the couch, “What are you doing?”
“I’m booking our trips to Malawi for your clinic visit.”
Arizona had been meaning to talk to Callie about that. She was terrified of letting Callie go back to the place that had almost taken her away forever, she wanted Callie to stay here.
“Oh,” Arizona said quietly, “Listen, I have been thinking, I will probably just go alone this time.”
“Um what? I’m going Arizona, I want be with you and support you. Besides, I really can’t wait to see Allison and Trevor.”
“Calliope I know you want to go, but I just don’t know what I would do if anything happened to you over there. I want you to stay in Seattle where I know you will be safe.”
“Well I want to go,” Callie said raising her voice a little bit, “We are taking two armed guards from my father, nothing is going to happen. I’m going, that’s final,” Callie told her fairly harshly as she pressed confirm on the ticket order.
“You can’t just demand to go and say this discussion is over Calliope. I get a say too and I say my wife stays here.”
“And you can’t just tell me what to do Arizona. I’m a grown ass woman and if I want to go to Africa, I can go to Africa.”
Arizona began to tear up a bit as she softened, “I don’t want to fight with you. I just want you to be safe. I don’t know what I would do if anything ever happened to you again. Please let me protect you by having you stay home.”
Callie noticed the anguish in Arizona’s eyes and pulled her into an embrace, “What about you? You would be in just as much danger as me. I want to be there with you. If I stay here I will just worry the entire time. Please let me be there with you.”
“I’m scared Calliope. Last time we were there those men took you and only by some twist of fate were you brought back to me.”
“I know. It is scary, but I promise I will stay with the guard at all times. I will even stay with you in the clinic all day. I won’t even visit the market or anywhere outside of the compound.”
“Alright. It is so hard to say no to you. I’m not saying I like the idea, but I guess this time you win.”
“Yay!” Callie said as she jumped up off the couch and started towards the bedroom, “Well aren’t you coming doctor?”
“What?” Arizona said as she looked up at Callie who was already removing her clothes.
“I need a checkup before we go to another country again and I know just the doctor I want,” Callie said as she walked into the bedroom, throwing her pants out the door after her.
Arizona quickly jumped up and ran into the bedroom to give Callie her VIP checkup, All night long.
………………………………………………………………………………………….
They had been pretty busy the last two weeks and hadn’t seen much of each other. Arizona had to put in extra hours at the hospital to make up for missing time to go back to Africa. While Arizona was busy with that, Callie made sure everything was set up for their trip. She was bored now though because everything was ready and Arizona was still at the hospital. Plus she didn’t feel good. She had been throwing up the past few days and unusually tired, but she hid it from Arizona cause she knew it would give her an excuse to fight Callie going with her. They were set to fly out the next morning at 6 am, so Arizona had promised to try and be home early. Callie decided to skype Allison to pass the time while she waited for Arizona to get home.
“Hey,” Allison said as her cheery face came up on the screen.
“Well hello, I am so excited to see you and catch up. How is everything over there?”
“It is same old, same old. I miss you being here, it is definitely a lot more lonely without you and Arizona.”
“Ya I know what you mean, that is how I felt before you and Trevor came along.”
“Trevor works a lot more with Arizona gone, but he is doing a good job of trying to always make that up to me. I’m trying to convince him to plan a visit to the states soon. I just need a break.”
“Yeah it gets overwhelming there at times. You guys should head up to Spain. It is a shorter trip and it’s beautiful. Arizona and I did that right before you came.”
“That sounds nice. Anyway, enough about me, what is going on over there?”
“We have been so busy. Arizona is working a lot too, but at least I have my group of friends here.”
“That good, what about baby plans?” Allison said with glowing eyes.
“We’re working on it. No baby yet though. Hopefully soon.”
“Oooo I am so excited. I love babies!”
Callie started to think about it again. The baby plans had kind of taken a back burner the last month or so. They still did the treatments and tried, but they weren’t consumed by it anymore. Actually, Callie hadn’t taken a test in a while. Then it hit her, she was nauseous all the time, she had been puking every morning all week, and she was exhausted constantly. No, she couldn’t be pregnant. Allison then realized that Callie had zoned out and wasn’t really listening to her anymore.
“Hello, earth to Callie. What’s up? You totally spaced out on me. We never get to talk and now that we do you just ignore. RUDE!” Allison said playfully.
“Oh sorry. I was just thinking that I should probably take another test soon. I guess I have been having some symptoms.”
“Oh yes! You are totally pregnant. You have to go take a test RIGHT NOW!”
“I don’t think I have any left.”
“You are in Seattle, go to the store. Oh boy I can’t wait. Let me know when you find out.”
“Okay, will do.” Callie said as she signed off. She then took a short walk to the store to get another test. The last one had been negative and now she was nervous to have that disappointment again. At home she hesitated before taking the test, then paced around the bedroom while she waited. It was the longest minutes of her life, but then she went back into the backroom to check. She picked up the test and tears started to fall. The positive sign was showing.
“Oh my god, I’m pregnant.”
She couldn’t wait to tell Arizona and was now anxiously awaiting her arrival. Usually she would pass the time with a glass of wine, but now she was pregnant. Wine would have to be only for Arizona now. Just then she heard keys in the door and Arizona came in totally drained. She immediately jumped up and ran to her, pulling her into a hug and deep kiss.
“Wow. Not that I am complaining, but where did that come from?” Arizona asked as she caught her breath.
“I just missed you,” Callie said as she kissed Arizona again. “I need to tell you something, but I want you to be sitting down.”
Arizona immediately became concerned. She had noticed that Callie was off lately and definitely more worn down than usual, “Is everything okay?”
Callie make sure Arizona was sitting down on the couch and took a spot on the coffee table right in front of her, “Everything is absolutely perfect. Arizona, we’re having a baby.”
“What,” Arizona said in shock, “Really, you took a test?”
“Yeah, I just realized that I have been having symptoms and ran out to get one right before you got home.”
Callie jumped up and grabbed the test from the table, “See, its positive. We are going to be parents!”
Arizona grabbed the back of Callie’s neck and pulled her into a deep kiss, “Wow. I am so happy, everything is turning out perfect.”
“Yeah, I can’t wait to meet our little girl.”
“So sure it’s a girl huh?”
“Yup, that’s the plan. I have the girl, then you have the boy.”
Arizona just laughed, “Sounds perfect. But now we should take this to the bedroom and celebrate good news properly.”
“Mmm I like the sound of that, but we do have to make sure we get sleep tonight. Our flight leaves at 6.”
“Oh yeah, about that. Before I let you win, but now that you are carrying my child, there is no way I am letting you go to Africa with me.”
“What! I’m fine, its not like I am too far along. I’m going,” Callie said defiantly.
“Oh no you aren’t. I don’t care how much you pout or what you say, that’s my baby in there and I don’t want anything to happen to my baby.”
Callie secretly thought it was cute that Arizona was already so protective, but she wanted to go. She decided to try another tactic.
“Please baby,” Callie said as she began kissing down Arizona’s neck.
“Nope, turning me on is not going to make me change my mind.”
Callie then pulled her shirt and bra off and began playing with her breasts. She pushed Arizona down on the couch and took a nipple into her mouth as she unbuttoned her pants. She pulled them off and began kissing down Arizona’s body. Then, she ran her tongue through Arizona’s folds.
“Mmm yeah right there,” Arizona said as she succumbed to the haze.
Just then Callie pulled away and stood up, “Well Arizona, if you aren’t going to let me come, then I guess you don’t get to come either.”
“Whh-what!” Arizona said more than a little annoyed.
“I’m mad at you because I want to go, so no sex,” Callie said matter of factly.
Arizona grabbed her arm and pulled her back down onto the couch. “No way. You cannot just work me up like that and then leave me hanging. Finish what you started.”
“You got my hopes up about going with you and then just took it away. Taste of your own medicine.”
“That is so not the same thing,” Arizona argued, “I’m not letting you go because it’s not safe for the baby and I want what is best for our baby. That should earn me some bedroom points.”
“It is sweet, but I’m pissed because I want to go.”
“God you are so stubborn woman.”
“You love me,” Callie said as she left to go into the bedroom.
“Ugh,” Arizona groaned as she followed her. She was about to give in because she was so horny, but there was no way she was letting Callie go to Africa pregnant. No orgasm was worth that risk.
………………………………………………………………………………………….
The next morning Callie heard the alarm go off ridiculously early, but since she didn’t get to go anymore she just rolled over. Arizona began to stir and rolled towards her to bring her closer. Then she started placing lazy kisses on the back of her neck as she started to run her hands across Callie’s stomach.
“I’m still mad at you,” Callie said as she turned toward Arizona.
“I know, but I’m still mad at you too. I can’t believe you worked me up like that then made me suffer. You totally wore your sexy clothes to bed too!”
“Hm you should know better than to mess with me,” Callie said confidently.
“Ya ya, but at least give me some kisses before I fly halfway across the world.”
Callie was considering being really mean and refusing her, but she was going to miss Arizona and she couldn’t deny her goodbye kisses. Their goodbye kisses turned into an all out make out session, but eventually Arizona pulled away.
“Now I don’t want to go, but if I don’t leave now I will miss my flight.”
“Yeah I know. You want me to drive you?”
“No that’s okay, you need your rest, I’ll take a cab.”
“I am pretty tired, even though I can’t wait for our little surprise I have a feeling pregnancy is gonna suck.”
Arizona giggled a bit, “No pain, no gain.” Then she moved down to Callie’s belly and began to talk, “Hey baby girl. Take care of your Mama while I’m gone and try not to give her too much morning sickness. I love you,” she said as she placed a kiss on Callie’s stomach.
She came back up, kissed Callie and said, “I’m going to miss you. I love you.”
“I love you too. Promise you will call once you land.”
“I promise, I couldn’t go much longer without hearing your voice.”
They had one last kiss and Arizona was off for the next week.
