Dear Calliope,
I will start with Thanksgiving because I know you are going to skip everything and read that part first anyway. I know you well Calliope.
I flew in to Miami International the day before Thanksgiving and your Dad had a car and driver waiting for me, I think he was worried I would get lost or something. Anyway I got to the house and your father was there, your mother and sister were out shopping for something they forgot for dinner. He and I went to a small place for lunch and talked. It was good to talk to him without a computer or phone or something between us. He is a very charming man and I can see a lot of him in you. When we got back from lunch your mother and sister were done with the prep for dinner and were having a drink on the back deck looking at the water. Your father introduced us and I swear your mother broke a rib she hugged me so hard. She was very nice all weekend, but I had a feeling she wished you were with me for this. I felt the same way though. Your sister and I talked quite a bit over the few days I was there. I got lots and lots of stories about you from before we met but I promise I didn’t ask for too many embarrassing ones. I got to see some of your family photos and school photos. I am assuming you haven’t spoken to her in a while because she just finished her Masters up and you haven’t mentioned anything about it. They let me sleep in your old bedroom so that was really awesome, even if it was a bit sad that you weren’t there too. I hope you don’t mind me ransacking the place and looking at everything from your childhood I could. I loved seeing into your past like that. It was totally worth everything.
I will skip breakfast and all the boring stuff and go right into dinner. Your mother must have taken pity on me since I was seated with the younger generation and Roberto and Juan sat next to me. You were right about them, we hit it off very quickly. Roberto is very much like you with his dirty mind. He told jokes that had Aria and me blushing all night. Your cousins were all very nice. Jimmy and I both used to swim in college so we bonded over that. I got a little heat taken off of me because everyone found out his girlfriend and he are expecting. And they don’t plan the get married. Thank you Jimmy! :P
I’m sure you will be happy to hear that dinner was really nothing crazy or a huge deal. Everyone was very nice, a lot of questions about you and your work but I expected those. It was wonderful to meet your family and I am so glad I went.
Oh I have to tell you this. After dinner was over I walked outside for some air and your grandfather Torres walked out and handed me a Cuban cigar and a glass of really great tequila. We sat and talked as we smoked and drank. He told me a lot about the family history and things from his childhood that had me on the edge of my seat. We talked about you and about you and me, about my place in the family. He was very worried that we know that when your dad came back from Seattle the first time he didn’t tell them why he had cut you off. It took Carlos nearly 6 months before he ever told them what has happened. He also said the family stopped talking to you because Carlos had told them to and used his influence to imply they might be next. He then told me that he didn’t care I was a woman, gave me a hug and went back inside. So ya, I’d say they’re coming to the wedding :)
Smoking is a habit I hate. I hate smoking, I hate buying cigarettes, and I hate going outside and smoking them. I hate that it makes me feel better, that it reminds me of smoking my first pack with Danny when we were younger and used to share packs. I hate that I do it. I am a doctor, I know the health risks, I know how horrible it is. I’m trying to cut back, trying to slowly cut down so I can stop smoking again. Right now though it’s hard because everything is still so crazy and stressful but I am trying to stop, I promise.
Thanksgiving was great, but being home, and knowing I will be here again for the foreseeable future, is really nice. Rock is happy to be home and he is my little guard puppy. He makes sure I’ve got someone to snuggle to at night. I bought him a stocking for Christmas and will get him balls and toys so he has something to open on Christmas morning. I’ve already started to put together your gift box. The box is 3 feet long and 2 feet wide, at least 2 feet deep as well. You are going to love me even more when you open it.
The nightmares are still been happening. I get one or two a night, mostly you dying while you’re in Africa or you dying during the shooting. You running off with Mark and having kids is thankfully no longer in play. Mostly they just take away from my sleep and I get a little grumpy, though some nights I wake up and cry because I have no way of knowing you are still alright. I am getting some sleep, I promise, and having Rock to cuddle with is helping. I’m working a ton to stay busy so I’ll be too tired not to sleep and that’s helping a bit too. All in all it sucks, but I’m coping. Knowing you’re doing so much good work over there helps a lot.
So I know I haven’t been telling you what’s been going on with your friends so I thought I would give an overview. That alright with you? Yes? Good. :)
Mark and Lexie - The wedding is planned, set, done and they are just waiting for it to happen. Mark and she did a few couples therapy sessions and it really helped them. Lexie has declared for pediatric plastics, something that I personally think she will do really well in. Mark was more than happy to be her mentor.
Cristina and Owen - She’s pregnant, about 6 weeks I think is what they said. She went to an OB/GYN and they did the blood test and sonogram and everything. Owen is handing out copies as their Christmas card. They just closed on their house and Cristina got the Cardio Fellowship.
Bailey - She and Ben have moved in together. Bailey is living in sin with a man! We love to get on her a little about it but it’s cute. They are doing well and Tuck is as cute as ever.
Teddy - She is single at the moment, though the new Trauma Attending is an ex Navy doctor and
They’re giving each other the I-Want-You eyes all the time.
Jamie and Alex - Jamie has a miscarriage about three days ago. Alex is helping her though it as best as he can while he tries to not be angry she never told him she might be pregnant. She never took the tests, I think she got so nervous about it her body almost did it for itself. She’s not taking it super hard or anything, she and Alex were far from ready. She’s taking a week off and then coming back to work. Alex is my new fellow and I am SUPER excited about that.
I don’t know if I mentioned this is a past letter, I’m lucky if I remember what I emailed you in my last letter with how long it takes to talk to you again *pout* Anyway, Uncle Will has a game he wants us to play, he said that it will help us get to know each other more fully. It’s sounds good and I think it’ll be fun too. We each have to write down 5 questions for the other person to answer, but we have to answer them too. So we both end up answering 10 questions in each turn. He says we should do at least 500 questions but I think we should try it before we agree to 500. He said that they don’t all have to be ground breaking, 2 fun and 3 deeper ones is a good mix. So, here goes…
1 - What is your favorite color? A - Purple.
2 - What is the name of your first pet and what kind of pet was it? A - Georgie the Ferret.
3 - Who is your hero? A - Danny.
4 - One thing you would change about me? A - I would make you a little shorter so I don’t always have to wear heels to be taller than your shoulder.
5 - What is your biggest regret? A - Not joining the Navy.
I hope you are remembering to stay safe and not getting in trouble. How have your cases been going? I know I yelled at you for telling me but I am really sorry for that. I am glad to here that girl is going to be alright and that her husband? wasn’t hurt and will be in their child’s life. You are saving so many lives and making so many so much freaking better.
I love you Calliope Torres.

P.S. I took some photos during Thanksgiving and at your parent’s house. Enjoy.

Dear Arizona,
Thank you! You do know me very well, I've been wondering and worrying about how Thanksgiving went.
Lunch? Charming? Are you sure you were with my father? I joke. In all seriousness I'm absolutely thrilled that it went so well. As willing as I was to choose you over my family (and still am and always will be), I'm so happy to hear you got along with my parents. I should have warned you that my mother is a hugger…opps. I wish I’d been there too, next time I promise. Oh lord…do I even want to know what it is Aria told you? I'm never going to be able to show my face again am I? Goodbye reputation. I'm happy to hear you got along though. She got her master's? Really? Wow, I guess we really don't talk much. We used to be a lot closer, but then I got caught up in medical school and my internship and she went off to school too. You know how it is. You slept in my old room? Does it make me a total sap if I tell you that I actually 'awwed' out loud at that? I kinda love that you ransacked the place. I love it that you want to know that much about me. I'm kind of hoping you didn't find the playgirls I had hidden under the bed…:P By it being worth everything you mean going alone being worth it right? There's not something that happened that you're not telling me about? I'm sorry, it's just I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that you met my family and WW3 didn't break out.
I’m really glad you hit it off with Roberto and Juan, Roberto was always my favorite uncle. My mom would always try (and fail) to keep an eye on us so we wouldn't get into any trouble. He's actually who I talked to about how to give a guy a blow job. Not that you want to know that…Um…moving on…Jokes, ya he tells great jokes. Yup. Awesome jokes. Wow…Did Jimmy make it out alive? I mean sure I'm dating a woman and living in sin, but at least I'm getting married. They sort of cancel each other out a bit.
I'm so relieved and happy dinner went well. Meeting everyone at once like that was insane, but you're you so of course you handled it and won everyone over. Have I told you lately how much I love you? Or that I'm proud of you? Because I do and I am. And my feelings for you only grow everyday I think about you and the fact that you're really mine.
My Abuelo said all that? Wow. I…that's…just wow. He doesn't share his cigars with anyone. And I mean anyone. Let alone his tequila. I don't know what you did or said, but you're golden if you have his respect like that. He has some amazing stories, I used to love to sit on his knee as a child and listen to him. Although you should utterly disregard anything he told you about my childhood. Lies, all lies I tell you! Ok so they're not, but I'd really appreciate some of those stories not seeing the light of day.
I know you're trying to quit smoking, I believe you. And I know you will because when you set your mind to something it's damn hard to change it. Plus I'm hoping the whole wanting live a really long time with me and our future children is a powerful incentive.
I bet Rock was happy to have you back, you probably spoil him rotten. What's he gonna think of me when I get back and steal you back? Christmas gift box huh? You don't have to do that, I know it's hard to ship stuff here. But I'm super excited to see what you got me :D I know what I'm getting you I'm just still working on a way to get it to you. Silly scientists. Why don't they have teleporters yet?
Ya well a wedding ring on my finger better get rid of any nightmares involving me ever running off with anyone! As for me dying…it's just not going to happen. I am coming home to you. And we're going to get married, and go on an amazing honeymoon, and have a house full of kids and chickens. We're going to have the life we planned. The only way I plan on dying is when I'm old and grey and pass away in my sleep just after you do. So tell your nightmares to just fuck off because I. Am. Coming. Home. Full stop, end of story. I love you too much not to. Plus I know you'd kick my ass for doing that to you :P
Friends? Who are these friends you speak of?… :P I've been so caught up in our stuff I honestly haven't thought much about them or the hospital.
Mark and Lexie did therapy? Really? Wow, I'm impressed. Mark really did grow. Lexie will do great in plastics and I know Mark must be over the moon that she went into his field. Sounds like things have finally calmed down for them, which is great to hear after the whole illegitimate children thing. You know if they have kids it's going to boy exactly like him right?
Cristina’s pregnant? Wow…I mean I know they were trying, but…it's Yang you know? Kind of hard to picture it. Owen must be such a proud father. When's the due date? Will I be home? I'm tired and can't to math right now. They must be stupidly happy right now. Owen will be thrilled they got a house finally, and Cristina will be giddy about the fellowship. Or at least as giddy as she gets. Tell them I say congratulations.
Oh man, I wish I were there to see Bailey's face when you tease her. That is really, really great about her and Ben though, she deserves some happiness. You still babysitting Tuck and teaching him bad tricks? ;)
Oh Teddy…An ex-Navy trauma Attending and 'I want you eyes'? Now why does this seem familiar? At least he's not married or dating already right? So, is this candy bar material, or dating in the daylight material?
Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you sure Jamie's ok and not just doing the classic Robbins 'good man in a storm' thing? Although I agree that her and Alex probably aren't in the best position to have a kid. Sounds like Alex isn't running though which is big for him. Was there ever any doubt Alex would be your fellow? I'm really happy for you, I know you've invested a lot in his training. Tell him congrats from me, and that he better live up to expectations.
You didn't mention talking to your uncle, but it sounds like an interesting game. I'm a little nervous to be honest but I think it'll be good too. So, nerves aside, here goes…
1-Favorite color? Black…but that's not really a color is it? Um…red.
2-First pet? A rabbit named Smokey.
3-My hero? My grandmother who fled Europe alone, pregnant, and with nothing but a few dollars in her pocket.
4-One thing I'd change about you? Easy. I'd take away your nightmares. (By the way, you are the perfect height in my books)
5-Biggest regret? Getting married. (You wanted to join the navy? I guess I'm only surprised it wasn't the Marine Corps like your father and brother)
I'm always safe ;) As for trouble…I'm doing ok. I'm working lots so I don't have time to get into trouble. It's ok, I understand why you yelled when I told you about that case. I get it. My cases are going well. Lots of simple surgeries, but they make such a difference it's amazing. A breaker blew the other day though, while I was in the middle of surgery. There I am, elbow deep in blood as I try to repair a shattered femur, and bam! Blackout. I ended up finishing the surgery by candle and gas lantern light. That's not something I'm going to forget anytime soon. The pregnant girl and her future husband I told you about are doing great. She was discharged a few days ago. He wants to marry her but he wants her to finish school first since it's frowned upon for married women to go to school. So they're waiting. It's actually kind of sweet.
I love you too Arizona Robbins
Calliope
P.S. I didn't get tears in my eyes when I looked at those pictures. No way. I just had dust in my eye that's all. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself. Thank you so much for sending those photos. My heart melted seeing you and my family together like that.

I love you too much not to. Plus I know you'd kick my ass for doing that to you :P
Friends? Who are these friends you speak of?… :P I've been so caught up in our stuff I honestly haven't thought much about them or the hospital.
Mark and Lexie did therapy? Really? Wow, I'm impressed. Mark really did grow. Lexie will do great in plastics and I know Mark must be over the moon that she went into his field.

Oh man, I wish I were there to see Bailey's face when you tease her. That is really, really great about her and Ben though, she deserves some happiness. You still babysitting Tuck and teaching him bad tricks? ;)
Oh Teddy…An ex-Navy trauma Attending and 'I want you eyes'? Now why does this seem familiar? At least he's not married or dating already right? So, is this candy bar material, or dating in the daylight material?
Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you sure Jamie's ok and not just doing the classic Robbins 'good man in a storm' thing? Although I agree that her and Alex probably aren't in the best position to have a kid. Sounds like Alex isn't running though which is big for him. Was there ever any doubt Alex would be your fellow? I'm really happy for you, I know you've invested a lot in his training. Tell him congrats from me, and that he better live up to expectations.
You didn't mention talking to your uncle, but it sounds like an interesting game. I'm a little nervous to be honest but I think it'll be good too. So, nerves aside, here goes…
1-Favorite color? Black…but that's not really a color is it? Um…red.
2-First pet? A rabbit named Smokey.
3-My hero? My grandmother who fled Europe alone, pregnant, and with nothing but a few dollars in her pocket.
4-One thing I'd change about you? Easy. I'd take away your nightmares. (By the way, you are the perfect height in my books)
5-Biggest regret? Getting married. (You wanted to join the navy? I guess I'm only surprised it wasn't the Marine Corps like your father and brother)
I'm always safe ;) As for trouble…I'm doing ok. I'm working lots so I don't have time to get into trouble. It's ok, I understand why you yelled when I told you about that case. I get it. My cases are going well. Lots of simple surgeries, but they make such a difference it's amazing. A breaker blew the other day though, while I was in the middle of surgery. There I am, elbow deep in blood as I try to repair a shattered femur, and bam! Blackout. I ended up finishing the surgery by candle and gas lantern light. That's not something I'm going to forget anytime soon. The pregnant girl and her future husband I told you about are doing great. She was discharged a few days ago. He wants to marry her but he wants her to finish school first since it's frowned upon for married women to go to school. So they're waiting. It's actually kind of sweet.
I love you too Arizona Robbins

P.S. I didn't get tears in my eyes when I looked at those pictures. No way. I just had dust in my eye that's all. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself. Thank you so much for sending those photos. My heart melted seeing you and my family together like that.
