Oh Baby

"Hey, what's going on?" Alex asks entering the room and grabbing a chair.

"Addison wants to do the laser surgery on Friday," she replies.

Looking over the monitors carefully, Alex replies, "okay, well that's good. That will resolve the issue, right?"

"It will," Arizona replies staring at him. They both know that this only resolves the issue if it works.

"Did you eat yet?" He asks. "Want me to go get you something? I'm on call, so I'm not going anywhere." He reminds her.

"Uh, well Callie went to get us dinner," Arizona replies.

"Okay, spill it. What's going on with you and Torres?" He asks leaning forward.

"We're talking about getting back together," Arizona says softly.

"You're serious?" He asks.

"Alex, it's been over two years, a lot has changed. We've both changed." Arizona points out.

"I hope you're right, because having more kids together is going to be a big change too," he counters.

"Oh hey Alex, I didn't know that you'd be here or I'd have gotten you some dinner," Callie says entering Arizona's room.

"Thanks, but I'm going to see if I can find Jo," he says getting up so Callie can have the chair. "Arizona, call me if you need anything, I'll be in upstairs. I'm staying here tonight, okay?"

"Yes, I promise. And Alex?" she says and he stops at the door and turns back to look at her, "Alex thank you."

"Yeah, of course, now get some rest," he says gruffly, then smiles at her as he turns to leave.

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

"Is everything okay?" Callie asks carefully.

"Everything is awesome, Alex was just checking in to make sure I wasn't going to be alone tonight," Arizona explains.

"Really? Wow, he's really grown up to be a pretty amazing guy," Callie replies.

"He was always a pretty amazing guy, he just didn't want people to know it," Arizona counters.

"Bailey and I thought that you were crazy when you took Karev away from Mark, we never thought he'd be cut out for peds, but he's amazing with kids. You did that, you know?" Callie says as she unpacks the food and sets it out on the table for them to share.

"He's my first, you know." Arizona says looking thoughtfully, "He's the first resident that I ever invested in."

"I hope that I can invest in Jo, now that she's come back to Ortho, she's showing real focus and promise and she's really surprised me," Callie explains sitting down and watching the blonde beginning to eat.

"Mmm, this is so good. Thank you for not making me eat hospital food tonight," Arizona says between bites of dinner.

"I know that you probably eat way too much hospital food, so that's going to change," Callie replies without looking up.

Arizona pauses and stares at the brunette, still amazed that she's here taking care of her.

Glancing up, Callie locks eyes with the blonde and then leans in and kisses her lightly. "I really missed you," she says softly.

"I'm still kind of wondering how we made it back here," Arizona says softly, "Can we really do this Calliope?" she asks.

"Absolutely, we're ready to do this. Everything's changed Arizona. We've changed, your parents are here and it's so great to have them here, especially now. But I'm starting to worry, since you keep asking me that. Are you unsure?" She asks.

"I want this so much, I'm just worried that it's too much to ask," she explains. "We're barely back together and now..."

"You didn't ask, I offered. And it's not too much, I love you and it wasn't so long ago that we both wanted this, maybe everything that happened was just to get us to this point?" Callie remarks.

Callie pulls the tray away and scoots closer to her on the bed, placing her hands on the blonde's shoulders, she leans in and kisses her, "I'm here because I want to be here, with you," she whispers as she pulls her into her arms.

Arizona closes her eyes and lets herself feel the warmth of the embrace, "maybe you could snuggle in here with me?" she asks softly.

"Yeah, let me take care of this stuff first." Callie says pulling back slowly and eyeing the remains of their dinner.

Arizona's phone rings and Callie hands it to her, "It's your mom."

"Hey Mom," Arizona says answering it. "I'm good. Yes, Callie's still here."

Callie turns around at the mention of her name and Arizona holds the phone out to her.

"Mom?" Callie says taking the phone and turning away from the blonde.

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

Arizona closes her eyes and rests, she's sure that her parents are just going checking with Callie that everything is fine.

Callie turns around to give the phone back to Arizona when she realizes that she's asleep. So she let's her parents know and then she hangs up the phone and finishes cleaning up the dinner. The nurse stops by and Callie waves her off, "she just dozed off, can you wait to give her the meds?"

"Yes, this is actually to help her sleep. Dr Montgomery didn't think she'd sleep much tonight, so this is a light sedative," the nurse explains.

"Well I'm going to stay the night. I'll let you know if she needs it," Callie explains.

"Okay Dr Torres, I'll let Dr Montgomery know that when she calls to check on her," she replies.

A few hours later, Arizona wakes up and realizes that Callie's wrapped around her. Looking up at the monitors she smiles, they're all normal, apparently the babies are happy to have Callie there too, she thinks.

The brunette feels the blonde stir beside her, but then she settles back down. Callie waits a few minutes before opening her eyes to steal a glance at the monitors. She can't help but smile when she sees that they're all good, really good.

"Hey, you're awake," Arizona says softly. "I need to roll over."

"Hmm, I can't believe how well we are sleeping in this tiny bed," Callie says laughing a little as she gets up to let Arizona adjust her position before laying back down beside her.

"Hmm, thank you for staying," Arizona whispers into her ear, "I love you Calliope."

"I love you too," Callie says into her hair and gently rubs her belly.

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

"Ahem," Bailey didn't believe it, but now she's seeing it with her own two eyes, Torres and Robbins are back together. "You stayed all night?" she asks when Callie opens her eyes.

"Uh yeah, why are you here?" She asks softly.

"It's 6:30 and I'm checking on my Chief of Maternal Medicine," she explains, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here because she's here," Callie whispers back.

"Miranda, everything is fine. I've had Norma reschedule my appointments and Addison will be here tomorrow." Arizona says opening her eyes and struggling to raise up a little.

"Arizona, what about the board meeting on Friday?" Bailey asks, she knows the blonde had planned to announce her pregnancy.

"Well, do you want to go ahead and send out an email, letting everyone know that I won't be at the meeting and why?" Arizona asks.

"I will, but it might be better coming from you," she points out.

"Oh, well I'll have Jensen bring my laptop and files from my office," Arizona replies as Callie slips out of bed behind her.

"If you guys are going to talk, I'm going to go shower and get ready for my shift," the brunette says kissing Arizona lightly before she leaves. "I'll be back after rounds to check in on you".

Bailey watches the brunette leave and then pulls up a chair, "How long has this been going on?" she asks.

"Not long, it just happened. But it's good Miranda, really good." Arizona replies smiling.

"Well, I can't say that I'm surprised. She was a bit of a mess after she found out you were pregnant without her," Bailey remarks.

"It's funny, I really thought that I could do this without her, but now it's so much better to do it with her," the blonde admits.

"Just take it easy today and don't over do it. I think you're the talk of the whole hospital today, everyone's worried about you and these babies," Bailey informs her.

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

"Everything looks really good," Dr Miller admits when she stops by on rounds later that morning.

"Do you think I could get up and just walk a little bit?" Arizona asks.

"Yes, but not much and no standing around, we want to make sure that you remain stable for the surgery tomorrow," Dr Miller reminds her.

"Right, I know. I just can't lay in this bed all day. I just want to go to my office and return some calls and emails." Arizona admits.

"Two hours, then you're back in bed," Dr Miller says firmly.

"What are we talking about?" Callie asks entering the room.

"Arizona wants to get up and go to her office for a little while," Miller informs her.

"Is that a good idea?" Callie asks concerned.

"It's not a bad idea as long as she doesn't overdo it. A little walking won't hurt her, as long as she doesn't stand for an extended period of time," Dr Miller replies.

"I will not overdo it. And two hours is plenty of time for me to get everything done," Arizona says swinging around in the bed.

"Wait, you're going now?" Callie blurts out.

"Why not now?" Arizona asks confused by Callie's response.

"Uh, well it's just I, uh, told your Mom and Jo that they could come by and show you their plans for the nursery," Callie explains.

"I thought we were going to hold off on that?" Arizona says nervously, a little uncomfortable having this conversation in front of Dr Miller.

"Okay, well I'm going to go and let you work this out without me," Dr Miller says smiling at them. "Arizona two hours and I'll be back this afternoon to check on you."

"Thanks Angela," Arizona says before turning back to Callie.

"Uh, your Mom wants to set up a nursery at her house and I told her that was a great idea," Callie explains. "So this buys us some time," she adds.

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

"What are you doing in your office?" Alex asks.

"I'm just wrapping up a few things, I'll be out most of next week," Arizona reminds him.

"Is Addison going to stay and cover for you next week?" He asks.

"No, I cleared my schedule next week," Arizona explains.

"What about that couple coming in from Portland?" He asks.

"I don't have them on my calendar," she replies concerned.

"They got put on mine, I'll send it to you. I think they'll need to be seen though, she's at 28 weeks with amniotic band syndrome," he explains.

"Oh, send that to me, I need to look at those scans," Arizona replies as her phone rings.

"Arizona Robbins," she says answering it.

"Please tell me that you're sitting down at least," Addison says into the phone.

"Yes, I am. Hey I have a case coming in next week, amniotic band syndrome, I'm waiting on the scans now. Can you stay and cover it?" Arizona asks.

"I'm not sure, send it to me and I'll see what I can work out," Addison replies. "Now I see that you're responding well to bedrest, is that what we're calling it?"

"Addison," Arizona exclaims, "Have you spoken with Callie or Angela?"

"Both and they seem to agree, that whatever you're doing is working," Addison replies playfully.

"I'm resting as directed by you," Arizona counters.

"Okay, okay, but there's something going on with you and Cal, right?" Addison asks, "I mean, she's texted me a hundred questions today and it's fairly obvious that she's got access to your chart now".

"Oh, yeah. I put her back on the list, Mom and Dad rely on her to help them understand what's going on," Arizona explains.

"Uh huh, sure that's all it is. You do realize that I'll be there tomorrow and see you two with my own eyes, right?" Addison reminds her.

"Okay, yes we're talking and working things out, but we're taking it slowly," Arizona replies.

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

"Hey, are you ready to go back to your room?" Callie asks stepping into the office.

"Not yet, I was thinking about going downstairs to see Sofia, she should be back from school," Arizona replies.

"Uh, no you're not. Your folks are going to bring her up to see you later. I'm here to walk you back to your room," Callie says crossing the room to sit on the corner of the desk.

"Did Addison put you up to this?" Arizona asks.

"No, but what did she say?" Callie asks worriedly.

"She may have mentioned that you've texted her a hundred questions today and she knows that you have access to my chart, so now she's figured out that we're back together... so much for being low key about this, Calliope." Arizona teases. "I'm right here, you can ask me the same questions that you ask Addison," she reminds her.

"Okay, I just don't want you to worry, so it's easier to ask her," Callie points out.

"I'm already worried about everything, it might help if we talk it through, you know, get it out of my head," Arizona admits.

"Let's get back to your room and I promise that I'll stop texting Addison and ask you instead, okay?" Callie replies helping her to her feet.

"Oh wait, would you bring my laptop. I'm waiting for scans that I need to send to Addison," she explains.

Sighing, Callie picks up the laptop and tucks it under her arm, "I'm not leaving it in your room though. I'm bringing it back here," she exclaims.

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

"Everything went perfectly, we're moving her to recovery and you'll be able to see her in about an hour," Addison says to Arizona's parents who are sitting with Alex and April in the surgical waiting room.

Relief spreads across their faces. "Where's Callie?" Barbara asks.

"I thought she was in here," Addison replies. "I'm going to go check on Arizona, maybe she got paged."

Alex looks at them and excuses himself. He knows there's only one place Callie would go if she wasn't with them in the waiting room.

"Hey, everything went well. She's in recovery," he says sitting down beside her. "Uh, are you talking to God?" he asks.

Wiping her eyes, she looks over at him and sits back, "I couldn't just sit there, I needed to do something and praying helps me, I know that it's not your thing," she replies a little embarrassed.

Alex looks over at her and scoots closer and slips an arm around her, "Whatever helps," he says softly, "but she's going to get through this, there's no freaking way anything bad is going to happen to those babies. She's had enough bad for one lifetime and so have you," Alex says pulling her closer.
