CHAPTER 1

Arizona Robbins had always been a heavy sleeper. There was not much that could wake her up once she had fallen in to that deep sleep state. Except for her pager. One little buzz from that annoying little thing and she was wide-awake. But nowadays there was something else that made her feel a little uncomfortable when it came to be closing her eyes and drift of to a peaceful sleep. This wasn't big deal really and the reason was quite silly actually. But she couldn't help it. She could feel it every time she was in that state between sleep and awake. Those big, brown eyes that stared lovingly at her. And she knew that if she opened her eyes and showed Callie that she was awake that something loaded would pop out from that sexy, beautiful mouth.

"You want to pop the bubble," Teddy had said with a laugh when she had tried to talk to her best friend about it.

The truth was in fact that Arizona Robbins was scared. She was scared out of her mind that Callie would be saying something like "Marry me" or "Let's have those ten kids you promised me". It wasn't like she never would want to marry the sexy Latina or have those ten kids she in fact had promised her on the day of that horrible event when they finally had gotten back together. But for now Arizona was very happy how things were and she would really appreciate if things would stay like this for a while. Therefore it took all her strength to just keep her eyes closed when she felt Callie's eyes burn her skin when they lay there in their warm and safe bed this particular morning. Just like she had done the day before and the day before that. Because she could feel it. Something was up and whatever it was it made her nervous. She focused on keeping her eyes closed until their alarm was starting to make noise, telling her that it was time to get up, take a shower, eat breakfast and head to work.

She heard when Callie turned the alarm clock off and shifted slightly in bed.

"Morning beautiful", the brunette murmured.

Arizona felt a warm hand stroke her back and before Callie could say anything else the blonde had turned around and started to place small kisses on her girlfriends shoulder and neck. She made it very clear to Callie that talking was overrated this morning and what she wanted was not in either of their vocabularies. Just like she had done the day before and the day before that. She quickly straddled Callie's waist and threw her head back in ecstasy when Callie's warm hands came in contact with her stomach and continued it's journey up under Arizona's tank top. The blonde moaned loudly at the contact.

"Oh God" she thought. This was heaven. Pure heaven. As long as they didn't talk she was happy. She couldn't think straight when Callie's hands started to massage her body in all the right spots and places.

"Mmm" she sighed. "I love it when you do that. I love waking up being able to do this."

She finally opened her eyes and met Callie's. Those big brown eyes. Arizona let her self drown in them for a short moment.

"Touch me," she demanded. "Make me come". Hard, hot and fast."

She yelped in surprise when Callie suddenly flipped them over so the blond was no longer on top.

"Oh I intend to" Callie whispered in her ear.

Arizona shivered in response and took a quick glance at the alarm clock's big red numbers and exhaled in relief. They had time. It was an hour to their shifts started. And like the day before and the day before that she had yet again managed to NOT pop the bubble.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Why do you look so damn happy?" Teddy pointed out and poked playfully at Arizona's side.

"Well, let's just say that the bubble is still in one piece and that I had a really good morning. And by that I mean REALLY good."

"Oh God. I don't want details. Spare me" Teddy said with a smile.

Arizona smiled and shook her head.

"So, what do we got to work with this lovely day?" she asked and started to dip in to her charts. "I believe we have a wedding to attend to this evening. And one last question, are you okay with that"?

Teddy sighed.

"You've already asked me that question a hundred times already. I'm fine. I'm happy for Owen and for Yang. They deserve this after all that's been going on."

"I know. Just wanted to make sure," the blonde quickly responded. "So you and Andrew are good?"

Teddy immediately got a dreamy kind of look in her eyes.

"Oh yes. We are. Let's just say that I also had a really, REALLY good morning".

Arizona laughed.

"Okay, we're even. No details please. Let's get this day started."

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Callie let out a groan in frustration.

"Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it."

"Watch the words Torres" Mark Sloan said with a smirk. "What's up? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?"

Callie sighed in response.

"No. And please Mark, I'm not in the mood for your dumb jokes right now." she answered shortly. And not that it's any of your business but lately my wake ups have been more than good."

"Well, what's up then? You know you can talk to uncle Mark."

Callie raised her eyebrows and frowned.

"You know what's up. I haven't asked yet.

"Aaah. You mean that" Mark said. "But it's not even a big issue. Just do it. Do it now! Find that little sexy blonde of yours and do it."

Callie couldn't help but giggle at the plastic surgeons suggestion.

"You're crazy. I want it to be romantic and special. It's a big step for us. I want her to remember this for the rest of her life."

"Jeez Torres. It sounds like you're gonna ask her to marry you or something."

"You're not helping. I'm leaving you right this second. I'll see you at the wedding you big goof."

She could hear Mark chuckle as she left. He had a point though. It wasn't a big deal. Not really. But why was she so nervous? Everything was going so great between her and Arizona and she was so afraid to ruin that. She took a quick glance at the watch on her right wrist and saw that it was time for Derek Shepherd's big comeback speech in the main lobby. She sighed again. Mark was right. It wasn't a big deal and before this day was over she would have asked the question.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"What?"

Arizona shifted uncomfortably when she met Callie's gaze where they stood in the main lobby waiting for Derek Shepherds big comeback speech.

"Nothing" the brunette answered. "Just…you're awesome."

Something was definitely up. There was a tension between them that was unfamiliar to Arizona.

"Oh, you must be referring to this morning" she joked back. "I always knew that I was good though. But please stop Calliope, you're making me blush."

Callie laughed.

"Oh, shut up. You're so full of yourself."

Then it became silent in the main lobby of Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. Derek Shepherd cleared his throat. He was up in the stairs looking down at his employees that applauded him where he stood with several x-rays pictures in his hand.

"Well thank you" he hesitantly started. "It's so good to be back as chief…. Actually no, it isn't. I'm lying. I'm not your chief. Chief Webber is our chief".

Everyone was looking at each other all confused at this little twist.

"Now if you all excuse me I have a surgery to perform", Derek said with a smile and looked right at Dr Richard Webber.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Arizona was tired and suddenly she didn't felt like going to a wedding and a party afterwards. It had been a hard afternoon with a complicated surgery on a simple appendix that had burst inside of a fifteen-year-old boy right in the O.R. What had been easy from the start had quickly become complicated. Although she had fixed it, it had drained her from all her strength and all she wanted was to go home to bed and sleep. And it sort of reminded her of the tension between her and Callie. It was easy now but she had a strong feeling that it was going to get complicated before this night was over. She sighed when she changed out of her scrubs and in to her blue dress. What ever this night had in store for her she was going to have to get through it.

"Come what may," she thought as she headed out to her car. She was running a bit late and she knew that Callie had already cached a ride with Mark. She did her best not to think to much as she drove over to Meredith and Derek's house. When she arrived she spotted Callie with Mark and got rid of her coat, took a deep breath and walked up to her girlfriend and her best friend.

"Sorry, lame surgery, she said with a smile. "What did I miss?"

She heard Callie take a deep breath.

"I have something to ask you," the brunette blurted out.

"Oh no", Arizona said and closed her eyes to prepare herself.

"I want you to move in with me. I love you and you have a drawer and a toothbrush and I want you to have a whole dresser and a whole….blow drier or something more romantic than that" Callie rambled without even taking a breath.

Arizona quickly opened her eyes as her expression went from fear to confusion and stopped in pure relief.

"You're doing great. Push through." Mark said and leaned in to Callie before he went away and left the couple alone.

"Okay", was all Callie could manage to get out.

Arizona let her gaze move from Callie to Mark and then back to Callie.

"Unless, you're just totally hating the idea", Callie continued. "Which would…be okay."

"Is that it?" Arizona asked and raised her perfectly shaped eyebrows at Callie.

"Is what it?" Callie shot back and lifted her wineglass to her mouth.

"You just want me to move in, to a place I already basically live?"

Callie nodded in response.

"Mmm", she said before she emptied the wineglass in her mouth and continued to stare at the blonde.

Arizona sighed in relief.

"Thank God" she said and closed her eyes. "Yes, yes, Calliope yes. I would love to have a dresser or a blow drier or something more romantic than that".

She smiled and before Callie could answer the blonde's lips was all over her own. Suddenly all of the tiredness Arizona had felt earlier was gone and all that consumed her mind was in fact that she and Callie would have the apartment to themselves that night because Owen and Cristina was going to a hotel afterwards for their honeymoon.

The drive home with Mark was a pain in the ass. Arizona and Callie fought hard not to be all over each other in the back seat. They had decided to leave Arizona's Mercedes at Meredith and Derek's house and just go with Mark home. He was going to be on call for the weekend and hadn't been drinking so he was gladly accepting to drive his two favorite girls home. Both Arizona and Callie have had one glass of wine too much and the effect of the alcohol was settling in. The elevator ride up the building was also pure pain but it wasn't until Mark had said a quick good night and closed his apartment door that the action began.

"Oh God. Oh God", Arizona managed to squeak out when her back hit the wall right beside their own apartment door.

Callie started to plant kisses full of passion on the blonde's neck when she at the same time started to look for the door keys in her purse.

"I want you", she said with a determined look.

"And I want you too", Arizona panted. "Now, open the damn door so we can get this party started."

"Ha! Found them!" Callie said with a little scream before she popped them in to the lock and opened the door.

She dragged Arizona by the arm in to the apartment and shut the door with a bang. Instantly they were all over each other and clothes were flying around the room but neither one of them cared were they gone. Arizona landed on the floor with a thump and she was sure of taking Callie down with her.

"Oh, so we're not even gonna get to bed?" Callie murmured.

"No. There's no time for that", the blonde panted out. "I'm going to explode if you don't take me right here and right NOW".

And then they were done talking. They kissed like maniacs and hands were all over the place, exploring every little piece of each other's bodies. Panting, moaning and breathing were all that could be heard in the room. Arizona didn't know how but suddenly she was without both her bra and panties and she quickly threw her right leg and hooked it around Callie's waist. Both moaned loudly when they almost at the same time touched each other's breasts and squeezed gently. Callie kissed the blonde's neck, shoulder and continued her journey through the valley of her girlfriends beautiful breasts, down her stomach and when she reach her final destination she roughly parted Arizona's thighs and blew a warm breath out on her lover's core.

"Aaaaah", the blonde cried out. "Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't you DARE stop."

If the situation had been less tensed Callie would have teased a little before she got in to action but now…oh now, there was no time for that. Arizona arched her back and grinded her hips against Callie's wet a warm mouth and yelled again when Callie's hand at the same time managed to massage her breasts during that little tongue tornado she performed between Arizona's legs.

Arizona couldn't think. Couldn't breath. She felt as she was going to cry in that moment. All the tension and nervousness she had been feeling these last couple of days was only a hazy memory now stored in the back of her head. She made herself ready to let it all out when Callie suddenly stopped what she was doing and crawled back up her body.

Arizona frowned and was about to whine and pout but Callie smiled reassuringly, letting her know that she had no intention to stop what she was doing. And before Arizona even could say a word she felt the brunette's slender finger between her thighs again, pushing gently at her entrance.

"Oh God. You are so wet baby," she whispered in to the blonde's ear. "Is this for me?"

"God yes! Only for you. Always for you."

And then the blond moved her fingers to Callie's thighs and at the same time they entered each other's cores and moaned loudly at the sensation their actions created inside their bodies.

It didn't take long before they both exploded in each other's hands. They rode out their orgasms against each other's hands and it seemed to last forever. Eyes locked and their mouths were perfectly "O-shaped" during the feeling of pure pleasure.

Sweaty bodies collapsed on the floor in a flood of panting and breathing as they still were joined as one. As they came down from there highs Callie rolled over to lie beside Arizona on the floor. They entwined their hands together and lay there in silence until their breathing became normal again.

"I was so scared," Arizona said softly and turned her head to her girlfriend.

"What? What for?" Callie said in confusion.

"I-I thought that you were going to drop a bomb on me. Ask me to marry you or even break up with me," Arizona admitted. "I've felt that there have been something on your mind this entire week. Now I'm just so happy that it was the moving in thing that has been tortured your mind."

Callie let out a laugh.

"So that's why you have wanted to have sex every single morning this week? You have practically done anything but talking to me after the alarm clock have started going."

"Well yeah," Arizona said. "You have been watching me sleep. You never do that unless there's something going on."

Callie looked at her in surprise.

"You knew that? How could you have known that I've been watching you sleep? You've never once opened your eyes."

Arizona grinned back.

"Cause I've felt it. I always feel when you're watching me. It makes my body tingle and shiver. And when I feel that I just know you're watching me."

"Do you know how much I love you right now?" Callie said softly.

"Well, I guess. But I don't mind you showing it me," the blonde whispered back. "Again. And if you show me how much you love me then I'm going to show you how much I love YOU right now. Deal?"

"Deal", Callie said quickly and took Arizona's hand and dragged her up on her feet and in to the bedroom.
