Authors Note:

Well, alright… I know a lot of you couldn't wait for the next Chapter and I couldn't wait to write the next one, but it was a hell week and I just couldn't bring myself over writing the last Chapter. But finally here it is, and I hope it is a worthily end and I'm sorry if it's not… I guess there is a LOT to say to you, because I'm really really thankful to have you! I don't know if I had been able to write it until the end if I hadn't had you.

So thank you SO MUCH! It was a pleasure to write it and I can't imagine doing something else in the future! I can't promise if there's a sequel and if there's one soon and even you liked me for uploading so soon, unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that in the future.

But I'm doing my best and I'm a lucky girl to have you as my readers!

Thank you so much, I guess that's all I can say now and I hope you'll be there again if it says "I will follow you…".

Again, thank you very much. I'm just speechless right now and a little bit sad it's over. But I'm also very happy I had the time with you.

This will be, a last time, in Callie's POV, because we spent a lot time with her in this fic and as much as I love Arizona I thought it'd be right to have her as the last one speaking, thinking, and being a part of us.

I wish you all the best and remember in life you read/write/meet more than once.

Chapter 32 - Forever and a day

The night has passed too quickly.

Hours filled with our laughter, conversations, kisses, touching, joy, love and compassion.

We laid there our bodies and hands always connected, always together like our hearts.

We laid there and we talked about the past, about what happened to both of us, and we talked about now, about tomorrow and about next week, next year… about the rest of our lives.

She told me that now after she found to herself and to me again she wanted to work again, she wanted to be a real part of her old life again. She told me that she wanted to be the same again, and even I saw how happy she was, now, in my arms, completely remembering anything, I recognized something else, looking like fear and remembrance, bad memories, in her eyes. But even I asked her how she felt, she just smiled happily, telling me everything couldn't be better and so I decided to leave it, just for tonight.

I didn't want to think about the bad things that had happened, almost tearing us apart.

I wanted to remember all the things we got done so well together, just like her.

All we wanted to remember was our love, our commitment.

She smiled at me the whole time and her smile was radiating, like a gift god gave her.

A smile that made me realize that she was back again. She was mine and now… she ever will be.

We spent the whole morning in bed, kissing each other what felt like hours, but we couldn't get enough of each other, and whenever one of us pulled back to breathe again our lips ached to be together again, until we breathed each other's presence, each other's love and the air gets unnecessary for us.

Finally we stood up, forcing our bodies to leave the place where we wanted to stay for another day or maybe another week. All we wanted to do was standing with each other, just the both of us, before we were going to meet our friends and colleagues again.

We wanted time for us, just for us and no one else.

And I wanted to look her in the eyes for forever and a day, reading them, looking past them, right into her heart and into her soul.

But I also couldn't wait to go out, looking at the world again, but this time with different eyes.

I couldn't wait to see and feel the sun on my skin, after the storm and the rain passed by.

I couldn't wait to see a beautiful ring on her hand.

I couldn't wait to see the look in their eyes, feeling their surprise, hearing their congratulations.

I couldn't wait to tell them, to let the whole world know that she's going to be my wife.

I called Mark as soon as we left and I asked him to tell all of our friends we will meet at Joe's tonight and I took Arizona' hand in mine as we walked down the streets, together.

And as we enter the small shop, revealing us what we are searching for I also enter another world. I enter a world full of memories, full of feelings I thought I have long lost on my way of growing up and also learning all the hurt and pain. And while she is running around like a little girl in a candy shop, with her eyes shining and glimmering and a big smile permanent plastered on her face, never letting my hand go, I see the past in front of my eyes, remembering what we had… and how I felt in love with her. How she changed me, how she made me believe in love again.

There has been a lot of moments, a lot of touches and there has been said many words and I counted the days I spent with her, because it has been the best days in my whole life.

I hated to avoid her. I never hated to hurt and avoid someone that much before. But my body was tired and stressed and worn out. And I felt like I could start to cry each moment that passed, but I even was too exhausted to do that.

The past few days, the past few weeks had been the worse in my life… My dad shot me out of money and of my family.

And the last few days and weeks had also been the best… because of her.

Because of her blond curls and her navy blue eyes.

Because of the compassion, passion and growing love plastered on her face whenever she was talking to me, looking at me or touching me.

Whenever she was around me my body heated, my heart felt as strange as my stomach and I just wanted to tell her that I never want her to leave the place beside my again. I just wanted to let her know what I was feeling, that she was getting to close to the place where George and Erica left. To the place that was still damaged and hardly reachable. I just wanted to tell her that there has been a wall built up and that she was the one that came nearer and nearer… She came nearer than anyone did before.

But instead of all those things I told her different things. I was hard and unfair. I hurt her way too much than I wanted… But I couldn't control what I was saying.

"Maybe it is…"

And so I said 3 words. 3 words before I left her behind, confused with tears welling up in her eyes and I didn't know if I'd be able to feel something else than tiredness, blankness, fear and hurt again. I didn't know if I would be able to free myself from that feeling and if I'd be able to make her forgive me; and before I even started I had the feeling I already lost her.

But I never lost her. Whatever I was doing she was always there, talking, maybe screaming, crying, asking, and pleading. No matter what I've done, she always came back to me… And that was the reason why I felt so hard in love with her.

She came rushing after me when I lay on an uncomfortable bed, feeling as miserable as I never felt before, because I thought I haven't just lost my family but also the girl I was falling in love with. But there she was, talking again, never giving up on me, on us.

"I just want you to know that I'm hurt. I am hurt and I am angry, because I thought that we had something. I thought that we were going somewhere. And if you're just sleeping around, making some rounds of girl surgeons than I think that you should now that – "

I knew I should just shot my mouth and ignore her if I didn't want to open up. I know I could just chase her away from me, being lonely again and then she wouldn't be able to hurt me or I couldn't hurt myself by hurting her. But instead I spoke up and I cried, because I wanted to let her in like no one ever before. I wanted her to know every thing, every single detail of me, because I knew she could take it and she wouldn't leave me.

"WE went to a fancy restaurant."

"What?" She looked at me in confusement.

"WE went to a FANCY restaurant… the nicest restaurant in Seattle. The salad that I ordered… the SALAD… costed 26, 95… the wine that you ordered cost 125 a bottle… I don't even look at the things, because I knew I wasn't going to be able to order one, because I'm out of money… and I don't even like salad."

"Oh…"

"And then the bill came and you…"

"I… I paid…" She said flustered.

"Do you know what I was doing before they brought over the check? I was counting in my head, trying to figure out, how I was going to buy food for the rest of the week, because I don't have 57 bucks, because my father disowned me and has cleared up my bank account…" And that's when I started to cry, the truth rushing trough my body, making me realize that I had nothing left… And I was honest, no matter how it would end and how she would react… I just wanted and needed her to know.

"I am broke AND I am exhausted, Arizona… I'm working in the ER, because I need the money… 6 people died on my watch today and I'm… frighten… I wanted to stand last night… I thought that last night would be THAT night for us… you know… our night… but you wanted to go to a fancy restaurant and I can't do that…"

And I split out all the things I wanted to say while I'm crying, but she isn't running away, she isn't leaving without a word. Instead she's sitting down in front of me, taking my hands into hers.

"I… can't"

"It's okay… It's okay… hey… so we… stay in! And we'll eat sandwiches…"

"You don't even like sandwiches…"

"But I like the girl who has the sandwiches…" She replied, nodding furiously with her head.

"…okay?"

"Okay… but... no… you know what… I don't like sandwiches either… I like pizza…"

"I like pizza, too…" She replied smiling and that was when I knew that she was the one I wanted to be with…

And this night has been our night…

She's still searching for the right one, watching out, rambling all the time, but I don't hear one of the things she is saying. I watch her instead, I look at her mouth, and how she's biting her lips whenever she's thinking. I watch how the old Arizona is coming back so quickly, holding my hand like her life depends on it; and my life really does.

I don't let her go and my eyes are never leaving her body or her soul. I watch her all the time, my eyes are following each of her movements and I can't stop smiling.

I can't shake the thought of her, being with me, forever.

I can't stop thinking about us, about our future, about the way I'm watching her all the time and as I realize that it's going to be like that forever I almost start to cry.

And as she's searching for the perfect ring for both of us, showing our love to everyone, I'm running after a thought that makes my whole body tingle and my heart ache in a beautiful way.

In a way that makes me smile, grin, because of love, because of her.

It's a feeling that makes my heart flutter in an amazing way, because the first time in my life I realize that all I ever wished for is going to be reality.

I see myself sitting on one of that uncomfortable chair with her laying in front of me, her eyes still closed and her blond hair caressing her chin in the most beautiful way.

I can't stop starring at her, but I'm already used to that. I'm already used to her beauty, but what I'm not used to, but what I already love is this tiny human in my arms; sleeping like her mother.

I look at her tiny face, the dark hair grazing her small head and her small fingers around mine, holding my thumb in the sweetest way.

She has the skin of snow and her lips are red like a mellowed red apple you pull from a tree in the middle of a meadow on a beautiful and hot summer day and as she's opening her eyes so suddenly I look into baby blue eyes and all I can do is smile and cry. I start to cry silent tears as I look her into the eyes, realizing what Ari brought me.

She didn't just bring me love, affection and joy. She brought me a little girl; my daughter.

"Hey my little Snow White…" I whisper, while I'm playing with her tiny fingers. And suddenly there it is, a smile, and my heart is melting as my tears are caressing my cheek.

"You two are the most beautiful sight I've ever seen…"

I say to our little girl as I stand up, walking up to the bed where Arizona is laying, still sleeping. And I lay down with her in my arms and I kiss Arizona on the lips and our daughter on the forehead, before I make myself comfortable. I want her to see both of us when she's going to wake up again. And I want to see her, the woman I love more than life itself. I want to see her all the time… forever…

"Calliope…"

I spin around and look her into the eyes, feeling guilty that I wasn't listening, but at the same time I couldn't feel better.

I couldn't feel more pure and relieved. That never happened to me.

Well, in secret, I saw future in front of my eyes and I dreamed about how it would be. But there has never been someone who filled that hole, who made me believe that there will be a good future for me, that there will be love and the thing I imagined.

But there it is. My future, holding my hand, standing in front of me, looking at me in disbelief.

"Everything alright?" She asks and I simply smile and nod, like she's doing after I answered.

"Everything is perfect…" I answer honestly and she nods with a grin plastered on her face.

"Hey look there… isn't that a super beautiful ring?" She asks, almost jumping up and down in anticipation. I look at the ring and I nod slightly. It is perfect for her. It's simple golden, but it's with a beautiful white stone, a diamond, in the middle of it and as I look at it I already see it on her finger, gracing it and as I look up, look at her as she's completely fixated on the ring like a girl on her first Barbie in a toy shop and I realize again how much she's brightening my day.

How much I love her.

"It is…" I answer, still fixated on her and as she's spinning around looking at me in a strange, but also cute way asking me what's wrong in a shrill tone I just bring my lips to hers, kissing her slowly and as we are apart from each other again her smile is miraculous.

"I think this place is highly inappropriate to do this…" She whispers, but she is still grinning like a teenager who just got her first kiss and I love the affection I still have on her.

"I don't care… from now on; now that you're going to be my wife I have the right to kiss you whenever and wherever I want…" I say and she starts to laugh.

"Well… maybe you want to drag me home and show me what we are going to do for the rest of our lives…" She murmurs into me earlobe and that's when the rings are long forgotten… Well I guess tomorrow is another chance to buy a ring, because right now I just want to kiss her and show her how much I want her. How much I need her and how much I missed her.

I ever asked myself if there are moments you never forget in your whole life, and with her I realized there really can be. With her I realized so much more. I realized that there are moments you can't think about something else than how beautiful your life really is.

And such a moment is now.

I sit right next to her and we are holding hands and she's stroking the back of my hand while we are listening to Hunt and Christina, augmenting over something and it's crazy how easily she's affecting me with a simple touch.

We told them, I asked Mark to bring them here, all of them. And when we were sitting there with Christina, Hunt, Lexie, Mark, Derek, Meredith, Bailey and Teddy we told them that we were going to merry and we earned congratulations, hugs, laughter, comments that this really was time to happen and Arizona and I laughed, never leaving each others gaze.

And it felt pure awesome with her and them, our friends, celebrating after all what happened and as she stood up to go to the bathroom I immediately missed her touch and so I apologized myself and rushed after her, my mind already knowing what I was going to do.

I would remember each situation with her after what happened.

I would live all those things we did again to bring her memories back just like that, even she remembered.

I would make sure she really did.

And so I opened the door finding her in the same position I was almost year ago when we first met.

As she recognizes me in the mirror she wants to say something, but I shot her down before she's able to say something and I start a game.

"Hey…" I say and she spins around, looking at me confused.

"Hey…?"

"Peds, right?"

"What?? Calliope what's going on here?" She asks, but instead of answering I take a step forward, speaking up again.

"I'm Calliope… Torres… Ortho…"

She says my name another time, asking me what I'm doing before she realizes what I do. I do what she did a year ago.

"I've seen you at the hospital… Are you alright?"

"You know… I'm fine…" She replies, already smiling.

"People talk… where we work… they talk… a LOT… So for the sake of being honest… I… I guess I should tell you… I know things about you, because people talk."

"Oh… you mean… super terrific…"

"It is actually, the talk. People and the tiny humans really like you over there, and they respect you and they are concerned and they are interested. They really like you… some of them really like you… You just… you look upset and I thought that you should know that the talk is good and when you're not upset, when you're over being upset… there will be people lining up for you…" I say, smiling her way and also her smile turns to a sexy grin.

"Oh yeah, really? You should show me who is lining up for me just right here…" She says in a sexy tone, trying to pull me nearer and even I want to kiss her badly I take a step backwards.

"Hey! That's not a part of the storyline! Pull yourself together or you're not going to get a kiss!" I say in a teasing voice and she pouts right before she's correcting herself.

"You wanna give me some names?" She says, moving in anticipation and I simply nod, touching her cheek with my hand, right before I kiss her, feeling her lips on mine finally again and I just pull back to see her closed eyes and how she licks her lip after we kissed so she's tasting me just a little bit more.

"I think you'll know…" I say to her, but I'm not leaving, instead I pull myself forward, heading for another kiss and this time I let it deepen.

This time I drag her into the next stall, pushing her against the nearest wall before I close the brown door, hiding us as my hands are roaming over her body.

"Did I ever tell you that I love it how you kiss me?" She breathes in my ears, while I'm trying me best to stand up straight.

"Did I ever tell you how much I love it when you touch me like that?" She asks, taking my hands into hers, pulling mine into her jeans and we are both sighing as I touch her with all the power I have left in my body, after she made my knees buckle with her already hoarse voice.

We made love almost 5 times today, but I just can't get enough of her and so I push myself hard into her, so she cries out.

"Oh god…" She murmurs as silent as she can, but she has never been a silent lover and that's one of the sexiest things about her. I know what she likes by the way she's reacting with her body and her voice.

I push two fingers inside her and her walls are already tightening under my touch.

"I love it how wet you are…" I say to her in a way that makes her moan and I kiss her starving, right before kneel In front of her, pulling her jeans south, revealing me perfection and as my lips are hovering over her wet folds she's already shivering, her hands in my hair, forcing me to kiss her in the sweetest way. I kiss her and lick her slow, even I know that she wants me to pace up in the way she's struggling me hair, but I also know that she's loving this way, because it's slowly building up, giving her such a release her mind is almost blowing.

And as I start to lick her more furiously with my tongue she starts to gasp.

"Right there… Oh god… it feels amazing… you feel so good…" She whispers and I almost come right there as she's biting down her lips to hide a scream and I suck her clit hard as I'm entering her, helping her to find the perfect release and just a moment later she's coming in my mouth almost a thousand times.

I stay in the same position and I continue licking her, until I feel her relaxing under my touch. First then I stand up with shaking knees to kiss her, but all she does is looking at me.

"Well… I can't remember that happening…" She says huskily as her fingers are gliding over my still wet lips.

"That was the special feature…" I reply in a low voice before I kiss her passionately a last time before I pull her jeans up. I know we can't let them wait any longer, but I just want to kiss her, now and forever and a day.

As we leave the bathroom together, hand in hand, they are smiling at us like they knew and the way she's smiling, and the way her eyes are still shining the whole world could know.

20 Minutes later I drag her out of there, after I whispered her into the ear that I want to do all the things we did once again. And tonight I had two other things in mind. So we left telling them we had a lot to do and Mark just smiled at us, knowing what it was.

But he was wrong. All I did was driving to the next pizza restaurant, ordering a pizza margarita before I was driving to our favourite spot… the park.

And then we sat there, on the bench, eating pizza laughing together, talking how we imagined our future, how we wanted to marry, where we wanted to life. Together.

And all I think about is that I will give up what I once loved. My freedom.

But I win so much more. I win love and I win life.

She is my freedom and as she's looking at me, telling me she loves me, right before she is placing her head on my shoulder, crawling into my embrace I just realize that I'll love her all my life and I would follow her everywhere.

I will love and follow her forever and a day.

THE END
