How Not To

The Last One

(Callie P.O.V.)

"Yeah, we're really going for it this time. It's going to be perfect. Addie came up. She's helped a lot. But it's still not the same. You know she tries her best." With a sigh I look around at all the other grey and sandstone headstones that surround me. It a bright day in Seattle. The sun is shining and it's decently warm. It's the perfect day for a wedding. Looking back down at the headstone, a lump forms in my throat. "I miss you Mark. It's not the same. I wish you were here. I know what you'd say though. Pull your head out of your ass Torres. You're getting all you've ever wanted. Then you'd make some comment about loving Lexie and not being able to get what you truly want in life. I love you Mark." A tear streaks down my face and I wipe it away as I kneel in front of the headstone. "Tell Lexie I said hi. Until next time. Wish me luck." I place a hand on the front of the headstone where Mark's face is engraved. Standing up I make my way back over to Addison who is waiting for me in her car. When I open the door, there is a tissue being handed to me. I take it as I slide in. "Thanks." Addison offers me a sympathetic smile as I dab my cheeks.

"You ready to go Cal?" With one last look to Marks's headstone in the distance I nod my head.

"Yeah, lets do this. I'm getting married today." I look over at Addison with a smile and she smiles back at me.

"You're getting married today. Now let's go get you ready." Addison puts her car in drive and we head to the wedding venue to get ready.

(Arizona P.O.V.)

"Mom…" I watch as my mom messes with the flowers that are placed in my fishtail braid going down my shoulder.

"They have to be perfect Zo…" She tweaks a few more and I let out a sigh. "Just perfect." The door to the bridal suite opens and I look in the mirror to see Teddy and The Colonel walk in. Excitement rushes through me when I see them walk in. I push up out of the chair and run towards my dad.

"Dad!" The second I get close enough I throw my arms around him and he pulls me into a tight hug.

"Hey bug." He pulls back slightly and looks me up and down. "I've never seen a soul prettier than you in this moment Zo…" The dress I picked is simple. It's a bright white V neck cap sleeve lace wedding dress with a crystal ribbon around the waist. It's long and pools around my feet when I stand. My mother clears her throat and my dad's eyes snap in her direction. "Well, except your mother of course." I smile slightly as I look up at him. "I love you Zo... so proud of you." He leans down and places a kiss on my cheek then he looks around the suite. "Now, where is my granddaughter?" I walk back over to the vanity and take a sip of my water through a straw.

"She is with Meredith, Maggie and Amelia. Sofia and Zola are flower girls for the day. I told them I could get her ready, but they insisted. They should be down the hall three doors to the left." With a thank you my dad leaves the suite and my mom mutters something about getting grandbaby love. Teddy walks over to me and looks in the mirror and adjusts pieces of her hair.

"How are you feeling?" She turns to face me with a bright smile.

"Butterflies Teddy… Like all in my chest, my stomach. Everywhere. But I can't wait for today to be over. I love my family. I really do but I completely forgot how exhausting they can be." Teddy lets out a laugh and plops down in the chair.

"I'm happy for you Arizona. I'm glad you and Callie worked out. You two have always been amazing together and I'm glad you're getting a second chance. Not many people get that." I lean into Teddy and wrap her into a hug.

"Thank you." I pull back and sit in the chair beside her. "I don't think I'd be here without you. So, on to more serious business, are you and DeLuca keeping my house clean? I let you buy it for a reason. I trust you not to trash it." When Callie asked me to move in with her I didn't see a point in moving back into the house. Yes, it held fond memories, but it was time to make new ones. Being with Callie was a new start so it was time for a new starting point. When I moved in, I put the house up for sale and Teddy offered to buy it. I couldn't say no because I knew it was in good hands.

"Well…" Teddy's voice drags out and I playfully slap her arm. "I'm kidding! It's fine. Just don't look in there today. It's like a bomb went off. Clothes everywhere. I couldn't figure out what to wear. But it's an easy clean up." Teddy looks over at me with a soft smile. "Callie looks amazing by the way. Her friend Addison caught me in the hallway and told me to tell you this is from Callie." Teddy hands me a black velvet box that for some reason looks so familiar. When I open the box, it hits me why it looks so familiar. I pull out the gold chain that holds a gold heart. It looks much like the old ones we used to wear. This one seems to have been upgraded. The chain has three diamonds spaced out on each side and there is a single diamond at the point of the heart at the bottom. I can't stop the laugh that comes out of my mouth. Teddy's eyebrows furrow in confusion. "What's so funny?" With a shake of my head I walk over to my bag and grab a matching black velvet box and hand it to Teddy.

"Nothing. Can you go take this to Callie? Tell her it's from me." Teddy takes the box and walks out of the room without another word. The suite goes quite with the exception of the chatter going on outside of the door. Looking in the mirror in give myself a once over. I lock eyes with my reflection and my faces morphs into one of seriousness. "Don't screw it up this time Robbins. You're lucky to get a second chance. Don't waste it…"

(Callie P.O.V.)

"Daddy it's fine! We don't need anymore pictures. It's okay." I hold my hands up as my dad moves the position of his phone to take another picture. Addison steps over and takes my dad's phone.

"Mr. Torres, why don't I take one last one of you and Callie then why don't you go check on Sofia and Zola. I know she's excited about seeing you. It's all she's been talking about." I see a switch flip in my father's head.

"Oh yes! I nearly forgot." My father walks over to me and places a kiss on my cheek. "You look absolutely stunning Mija. Just. Beautiful." He cups my cheeks and I take hold of one of his hands and look at him with a small smile. He pulls me into a hug then we stand side by side to take one last picture.

"Aaaand… We're good." Addison walks over to my dad and hands him his phone. He sticks it in the inside pocket of his suite jacket and claps his hands.

"Abuelo is going to get some love. I'll come check on you in a few minutes Mija." I watch as my dad heads towards the door. "Oh! Sorry. Dr. Altman. Come on in." Teddy walks in the door as my dad is walking out.

"Thank you, sir." Teddys comes in and shuts the door behind her. "I am here on behalf of the other bride." Teddy walks over to me and holds out a small velvet black box. A smile works on to my lips because I just sent a similar box to Arizona. When I open the box, I pull out a necklace much like the one I sent Arizona but this one is silver. "Oh, that's funny!" My eyes flick over to Teddy who has a broad smile on her face. "You two bought each other the same necklaces." Addison steps up and looks over my shoulder at the necklace.

"How darling! Here…" Addison takes the necklace and releases the clasp. Carefully, I pull my hair up so she can put it on. Addison puts it around my neck and closes the clasp. After I let my hair back down and walk over to the mirror. I run my fingers along the small silver heart and I can't stop the megawatt smile that washes over my face. "It's beautiful Cal. Just beautiful." I look over at Addison.

"Thanks Addie." Turning to Teddy who has her hands folded in front of her.

"How is she Teddy? Is she okay?" Teddy looks up at me with a small smile.

"Yeah, she's fine. She looks beautiful. Kind of nervous." My heart drops at her words and Teddy must've noticed the slight drop of my face. "Good nervous. Butterflies type of nervous. She's fine. She's ready for the parents to leave. Kind of like you." I chuckle slightly at the memory of how Arizona's parents we're when we got married the first time. A knock on thee door pulls our attentions away from the conversation.

"Come in?" The door opens and Meredith steps in.

"We're ready out here. Just waiting on you two. The girls are dressed and occupied. Are you ready?" I let out a sigh while I'm still smiling.

"Yeah, I'm all good." Teddy starts back out towards the door.

"I'm going to go get Arizona and get her all set. The Colonel should be back in there." I nod in Teddy's direction then walk over to the vanity to get my phone.

"Okay great." I unlock my phone and shoot off a quick I love you text to Arizona. Once it sends I place it face down on the wooden top of the vanity. Turning back to Addison and Meredith I smile. "Let's do this."

(General P.O.V.)

Trees draped with Spanish moss surround the area where the ceremony is going to be held. At the end of the aisle there is a white lattice structure with purple, pink and white flowers covering it. Just beyond the structure there is a great landscape of Seattle set behind a couple grass covered rolling hills. At the beginning of the aisle there is a mirror on a brass stand. Written in white paint on the mirror the words "Pick a seat not a side. Either way it's for a bride." The wedding property is scattered with people. Some are sitting in aisles, some are still standing. There's a constant chatter of people conversing while they wait for the grand moment. The moment of a once lost love finding it's happily ever after.

The people hush and watch as Richard Webber makes his way down the aisle towards the lattice structure. Once at the end, he turns to face the crowd with a smile on his face. Richard fumbles with his hands slightly as he tries to find where to put them. He settles for behind his back. Miranda Bailey is the next to come down the aisle with Barbra Robbins. They stop at the first row of chairs and take two of the offered reserved seats. Richard nods in the direction of the small quartet letting them know it's time to start playing. The sounds of stringed instruments fill the air, and everyone finds their seats. A set of wooden barn doors open, and Sofia and Zola walk through. Both of them with a small basket of grey flower petals and dressed in pastel pink matching dresses. The next to walk is Teddy. With a smile on her face she walks to her appointed spot next to where Arizona would be standing. Then Addison. She moves to stand beside where Callie is going to stand.

The quartet changes keys and the guests stand. Callie is the first to walk down the aisle with Carlos. There is a collective sigh as the guests' eyes fall on Callie for the first time for the day. Though nerves are wrecking her body she gives her best Mega Watt smile. The make it to the end of the aisle and she turns to face her father. Leaning up on his toes he places a kiss on Callie's cheek. "Beautiful Mija. I'm so proud of you." With tear glazed eyes Callie watches as her father moves to sit in his appointed seat. With one last smile Callie turns to face Richard who offers her a hand up to her spot. Arizona and The Colonel make their way down the aisle next. Callie's breath catches in her throat at the sight of Arizona.

"Don't trip. Don't trip. Don't trip." Arizona's eyes are focused on the ground beneath her feet as she mumbles to herself. The steady hand of Daniel Robbins lands on the small of Arizona's back.

"Look up Bug. She's watching you." Arizona glances at her father then her eyes fall to Callie. The world slows the second blue and brown connect. "You've got this Bug." Arizona doesn't answer. She just nods her head as a smile forms. They reach the end of the aisle and The Colonel places a kiss on Arizona's cheek and stands behind the brides. Richard looks between the two with a loving smile.

"Who is here to give away this bride?" Daniel raises his hand and steps forward slightly.

"I am Sir." With a curt nod from Richard, Daniel goes to sit beside his wife. Richard clears his throat and Arizona and Callie turn to face him.

"You look beautiful ladies." Richard speaks to just them before addressing the guests. "Hello everyone! We are all here today to show our love and support for these two. Through the years I've watches this love story unfold. Their story brought smiles, laughter, tears, they even graced the world with a beautiful daughter. There has been trials and tribulations for these two ladies and even when it was over for them it was never really over. They fell apart and waged a hefty storm but these two made it back. They were a bright beacon of light for the other. They were a place of refuge for the other. Even in the times they were separated they both managed to care for and be there for the other. Arizona and Callie have the love that with stood thousands of miles and years. It's a special thing to have the love these two share. So, without any further interruptions, does anyone object to this marriage?" Richard gives a short pause and when no one answers he gives a small smile. "Have the brides prepared vows to share?" Callie and Arizona both nod then Richard glances between them and steps back. Callie lets out a deep breath and smiles as she takes Arizona's hands.

"From the moment our paths crossed you've captivated me, challenged me, frustrated me and improved me in ways no person has before. And I have fallen in love with you again and again. I promise to be true to you, to support and encourage you and to challenge and frustrate you. I truly believe we are good for each other and that we will continue to grow stronger together. When I say I love you, it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity what you are. You are a hell of a woman. You're the one. You're the one Arizona." Callie's voice wavers but she says her vows, meaning every word and filling them with as much love as possible. Arizona's pulls a hand free and wipes a tear from her cheek.

"Damn it…" Arizona's voice is a whisper as she laughs. "I told myself I wasn't going to cry." Callie laughs with Arizona as she reaches up to wipe a tear from Arizona's cheeks. "I love you. I promise to encourage us to try new and unusual things. I vow to invest in loving you daily and to snuggle you as often as possible. I vow to be the best parts of me that fit with the best parts of you. Although I will be imperfect, I pledge to be sensitive and respectful of your unique talents, abilities, and quirks. I pledge to lend you strength for all of your dreams. I used to be afraid of falling in love, of giving my heart away. How could I trust someone to love me? To give me all that I wanted to give her? But when I met you, I realized how much we could share together. You have renewed my life. And I choose you Calliope. I choose you today, tomorrow and everyday after. Forever." Callie smiles at Arizona with a distinctive sparkle of tears in her eyes. Richard clears his throat and breaks the moment.

"Callie, do you take Arizona to have and to hold until death does you part?" Richard reaches into the inside pocket of his suit jacket and pulls the ring Callie is giving Arizona.

"I do…" Callie looks at Richard with a smile as she takes Arizona's ring and slips it on her finger. Richard now looks at Arizona who is looking down at the set of rings on her finger.

"Arizona, do you take Callie to have and to hold until death does you part?" Arizona looks over at Richard and a smile forms on her face as she takes the ring from Richard.

"I do…" Arizona slides the ring on Callie's finger and brown meets blue again. "I love you." Callie takes both of Arizona's hands and gives them a small squeeze.

"I love you too." Richard looks between the two.

"I now pronounce you brides. You may now kiss." Callie lifts a hand to Arizona's cheek as she brings her lips to rest on Arizona's. The sound of the guests cheering fade as Callie dips Arizona down. This kiss is different for Callie and Arizona. The love, the spark. It's all there. But it feels different. It feels like new promises have been made and old ones have been renewed. This kiss makes everything that has happened in the last few years feel like it was worth it. That the fighting, the divorce, the tears. It was all worth it because they made it back to each other. They made it through everything life had thrown at them and they came out of it stronger. They came out of it healed and with old wounds mended. They came out with a new found love and strength. Not everyone is lucky to make it back to the love of their life. But Callie and Arizona did and that's why this kiss feels different.
