Oh Baby

"Uh, I should probably go," Callie says after they've been making out on the couch for a while.

"You could stay," Arizona says softly. "Would you, stay?"

"Are you sure?" Callie asks, "I mean, I want to. I just, it's too fast. Isn't it too fast?"

"Calliope, what if we just sleep? I just don't want to sleep alone tonight." Arizona replies, snuggling into her shoulder.

Wrapping her arm around the blonde, Callie smiles, "Okay, I'll stay but we're just sleeping right?" She asks.

"Of course," Arizona agrees.

"Arizona, I thought we were sleeping?" Callie says turning around to still her wandering hands.

"Sorry, I just haven't ... since... and we were kissing, and I'm sorry, this is a bad idea" Arizona says sitting up suddenly.

"Wait, you mean no one since, we... that was three years ago, Arizona." Callie exclaims.

"Uh, I know," she replies turning over to face away from the brunette and laying back down.

"Hey, I didn't realize, I just assumed that you had, you know..." Callie says pulling her close and spooning her.

Arizona closes her eyes and just let's herself feel the warmth of the embrace and she tries to focus on her breathing as Callie's hand slides over her stomach, sending a shiver through her core.

"Uh sorry I just, you feel so different," she says her voice giving her away.

"Calliope, honey if you don't move your hand, we are not going to be sleeping anytime soon," Arizona replies thickly.

"You say that like it's a bad thing..." Callie says playfully.

Turning over to face the brunette, Arizona begins kissing her neck.

"Uh, that's so not fair," Callie husks, then moves in closer and slips her hand down around to caress the blonde's ass.

"Hey," Arizona exclaims, reaching down to stop her hands from traveling.

"You started it," Callie says laughing.

"I'm pretty sure that you started it," Arizona says before tearing up.

"Hey, hey you're crying? Why are you crying?" Callie says confused.

Embarrassed, Arizona turns around.

Callie holds her, "Hey, it's just the pregnancy hormones, you're okay. We're okay." She says rocking her gently.

"I'm sorry, I just, I miss you. I miss this, I miss everything we had and now..." the blonde's voice fades and Callie gets it, she feels it too.

****************************

"Good morning," Callie says when she feels the blonde stirring.

"For a minute I thought I dreamed the whole thing, but you're here," Arizona says softly, turning into her and pressing her lips to Callie's neck.

"Hmm, we made it thtough last night but I can't promise anything this morning if you don't stop that," Callie says thickly.

Pulling back, Arizona looks at her carefully, "are you sure about this? About us?" She asks.

"There is no one who I want to have a family with more than you. Arizona, I learned a lot about myself in the past two years. Work has been great and Sofia keeps my life full, but I miss having you to share it with," Callie confesses.

"I have to admit not telling you that I was pregnant was hard, I was surprised how much I wanted to share it with you and I was afraid to tell you." Arizona admits.

"Why were you afraid to tell me?" Callie asks., sitting up in the bed.

Arizona struggles a little but finally gets in an upright position. "I was afraid that you'd be upset, afraid that you wouldn't care... afraid that you would care. Calliope we hadn't had a real conversation in so long, I just didn't know how to tell you."

"I get that," Callie replies thoughtfully. "When you told me, I felt so many things. I was happy, sad, disappointed, excited and pissed off all at once," she admits.

"I know, I saw all of that flash across your face. It meant so much to me that you wanted to go to the next appointment with me, but at that point I was still determined to do this on my own. But then I met Melanie and it was exciting to have someone to share it with, but it just didn't feel quite right with her. It made me realize how much I wanted to share it with you," Arizona explains.

****************************

"Torres brought you to work," Alex remarks as they pass in the hall.

"Hmm," Arizona replies still reading a chart.

"She took you home and brought you in," he says clearing his throat.

"Alex, is there a point to this conversation?" Arizona asks abruptly.

"Is there something going on with you two? All the sudden you seem more friendly than usual." He replies, "I worry about you, I don't want her to hurt you again. " he explains.

"Thank you for your concern, Alex but I'm fine and yes there is something going on with us, but nothing that I am ready to discuss," she replies, looking up at him and reaching out to squeeze his arm.

"Jo still wants to come over and paint the nursery, she has it all worked out to show you, so let's plan that soon, okay" he asks gruffly.

"We should all have lunch this weekend and plan it out then," Arizona suggests. "I'll set it up."

****************************

"The board meeting is this Friday, " Callie mentions over lunch in the cafeteria.

"Oh right, I need to officially notify the board", Arizona replies. "Don't you think everyone knows by now?" She asks.

"Webber and Jackson are probably still clueless," Callie points out.

"Webber knows, I told him this morning," Arizona admits. "I'll tell April to tell Jackson tonight, then everyone here will know before the meeting."

"Probably a good idea," Callie agrees, "but what about us? Have you told anyone about us?" She asks.

"No, but Alex knows. He saw us come in together this morning,"Arizona explains.

"What did you say", Callie asks curiously.

"He just asked if there was something going on, I said yes but that I wasn't ready to discuss it. Oh and we're having lunch on Saturday to discuss the nursery. Mom and Jo want to start painting it." Arizona adds.

"Oh, I was hoping that we'd be living together by the time the babies are born." Callie replies.

Arizona looks at the brunette speechless, "Oh," she says smiling, "I would like that too."

****************************

In the locker room, Arizona sits down to change out of her scrubs when April enters the room. "I'm having dinner with Jackson tonight, do you want me to drop you off on my way home?" She asks.

"Oh that would be great. I'm feeling really tired today and Callie's in surgery and Alex is on call tonight," Arizona replies.

"Callie's in surgery? So she's stepped up to help, is that all it is, or is there something else going on?" April asks sitting down beside the blonde.

"I'm not ready to talk about it, but she's definitely stepping up," Arizona replies carefully.

April watches her changing clothes and notices her hands are swollen, "Arizona, your hands are swollen, when do you see Dr Miller next?"

"On Monday," she replies looking at her hands, "April, do you have time to do a sonogram?"

"Yeah, I think that's a good idea," she replies.

****************************

The sonogram shows that one baby has a large amniotic sac and the other has a small one, the Twin to Twin Transfusion has advanced." Arizona states looking at the monitor.

"I'm paging Miller," April says reaching for the phone in the exam room.

Arizona pulls out her phone and calls Addison, "Can you Face time?" She asks when Addison answers the phone.

"Uh yes, Arizona, but are you going to tell me why?" Addison asks before switching the call over.

"I have fluid build up, here's the sonogram," Arizona says taking the wand from April and pointing the phone at the monitor."

"Who's there with you?" Addison asks.

"April is here, why?" Arizona counters.

"Have you paged Miller?" Addison asks.

"She's doing that right now, Addison, do you think it's that advanced?" Arizona asks worriedly.

"I think you should go to Miller's office and get the Doppler scan that is set up on the Webview, so I can see it. Get in a wheelchair and go there now, I'll call and set it up. Arizona, just go now, okay?" Addison asks.

"Of course, Addison," Arizona replies as April turns around. "Addison says we have to go to Miller's office and use the Doppler, would you get me a chair?"

"Uh, yeah do you want me to call anyone?" April asks pausing at the door.

"Not yet, but maybe I'll see if Alex will go tell Callie that I'm going to Miller's office," Arizona says pulling his number up on her phone.

April comes back in with a wheelchair and helps the blonde off the table and into it. On the way over to OB, they run into Meredith.

"What's going on?" She asks concerned.

"I have a little fluid build up, Addison wants to see it on the Doppler, so we're going to OB. Would you mind going to OR 3 and letting Callie know?" Arizona asks.

Meredith looks at April a minute as she considers this request, April shrugs, "Uh, sure do you just want me to tell her that you're going to Miller's office or that Addison asked you to go?"

"Just tell her that I'm going to Miller's office and she should come by there when she's done." Arizona replies.

"Uh, okay." Meredith says, still curious about why Callie needs to know where Arizona is going.

****************************

"Okay, that's not as bad as it looked on the sonogram. I still don't like it, though." Addison replies when Miller gets the Doppler set up and she can see the scan more clearly. "Angela, do you think we should go ahead and drain the fluid with amniocentesis or can it wait until Friday for me to come and do the laser surgery?"

Dr Miller takes a moment to examine Arizona's hands and leg for swelling, "I think if we put her on bedrest and watch her fluids, we can wait until Friday for the laser surgery," she replies.

"I'd rather wait for the laser surgery, so I will go on bed rest." Arizona quickly agrees.

"Okay, Angela go ahead and admit her and put her on the fetal monitors, I'll start making arrangements to fly down there. Book OR 4 Friday morning at 9 am." Addison replies.

"Wait, you think I need to be admitted?" Arizona asks.

"Yes, I want those babies on fetal monitors until I get there," Addison replies.

"Okay," Arizona replies, now much more worried than before. She's only at 13 weeks.

****************************

Callie gets out of surgery and immediately grabs her phone and there's a text from Arizona, "I'm in Room 5201, come see me when you can. I'm fine, it's a precaution."

"Precaution my ass," Callie mumbles to herself as she calls Addison.

"Callie I can't talk, I'm trying to clear my schedule to come up there. I'll call you back tonight." Addison says quickly and hangs up.

Callie ducks into the stairwell and rushes up to the fifth floor, turns the corner and Arizona is just getting settled into the room. "What's going on?" She asks entering the room and going right to the blonde's side.

"I have fluid build up," Arizona says holding up her hands. "Addison wants the babies on fetal monitors until she gets here and she's going to do laser surgery on Friday morning."

Silently Callie nods, she's just trying to let the information seep into her brain, but she's also fighting the panic of seeing Arizona in a hospital bed again.

"Calliope, it's a precaution. The babies are fine, Dr Miller agreed, they just want to monitor them and me until Addison gets here." Arizona repeats. "April, I need to call Mom and Dad."

"I already called them, they're on their way to pick up Sofia from school and then they'll be here." April reminds her.

"Okay, well you need to go, you have dinner tonight and you're not missing it on my account, so go." She says waving her out of the room.

"Okay, do you want me to come back tonight?" April asks looking directly at Callie.

"I can stay tonight, if Arizona wants me to," Callie replies turning towards the blonde and smiling.

"That would be great, I'd like it if you stayed," she replies, "April, go and have a wonderful evening and stop by in the morning to tell me all about it!"

"Okay, just relax tonight and take care of those babies," she says giving the blonde a quick hug and kiss on the cheek.

****************************

Callie is out in the hallway pacing on the phone when Daniel and Barbara show up with Sofia. Sofia immediately runs up to Callie and climbs up into her arms. The brunette ends her phone call and kisses her daughter. "How much did April tell you?" she asks Arizona's parents.

"Just that Dr Montgomery ordered her on bedrest until Friday." Daniel replies, "What happens on Friday?" he asks.

"Let's go in and see her, I'm sure she'll feel better after seeing you both," Callie says following them into the room.

"Honey, are you okay? What is all this?" Barbara asks stepping up to the bed and looking at the wires from the monitors.

"I'm fine Mom, they wanted to monitor the babies and me right now, I've retained a bit of fluid, more than you should at this point," Arizona explains.

"Is this the twin transfusion issue that you told us about at the last sonogram?" Daniel asks.

"Daddy, it is. And I may need surgery on Friday, Addison will be here to evaluate me and if I need surgery, she'll do it. This is why I have her on the case." Arizona reminds them.

"Momma are you going to stay in the hospital until the babies are born?" Sofia asks as Callie sets her on the end of the bed.

"No sweet girl, I won't be in the hospital that long. And the babies won't be here until around Thanksgiving." Arizona reminds her.

"Callie, you should go home and sleep in your bed. You have to work tomorrow," Arizona reminds her.

"I'm staying here. Do you really think that I could sleep tonight at home?" Callie asks her.

"I'm fine." Arizona says firmly.

Callie looks at her and says, "You're not fine. You're worried."

"This is just a precaution, I'm fine." Arizona repeats.

"Arizona, you realize that you're hooked up to monitors and I can see that your blood pressure is elevated?" Callie points out as she sits down on the bed and takes her hand.

The blonde chews her lip a moment and realizes that Callie's right. She is worried and she's going to spend all night looking at the monitors. "Maybe you can just stay until I fall asleep then you can go to the on call room down the hall and sleep in a bed," Arizona suggests.

"Here's the deal. I'm going to go across the street to the deli and get us some dinner. After we eat, I'm going to climb up in the bed and we're going to talk about the future." Callie says leaning over to kiss her. "Deal?"

Closing her eyes a moment, then smiling she opens them, "deal".
