What was that annoying buzzing? Callie mumbled some annoyance into her pillow. It was her day off. Sofia was going to go to Mark's and spend the day with Mark and Julia because she and Arizona… The dark eyes opened blearily, only to be caught by the sunlight shining through the blinds. There she was laid with her head on her own pillow, but her body spread diagonally across the bed. The majority of her body on her wife's side. Her wife. A tired smile graced her lips, followed by a creased bow. Where was Arizona? Rubbing the back of her hand across her tired eyes, she stretched out the tight kinks from her muscles. She had hoped to be suffering from a different type of muscle pain this morning. It was then she realised she was still in her sexy lacy lingerie. She'd fallen asleep waiting for Arizona to come home. She last looked at the clock…three-ish. Stealing a glance at the clock as she rose from the bed, she saw it was just after six. It explained the weight of tiredness. Three hours. Maybe Arizona came home and saw her sleeping…on her side. Crap.

Dragging herself from their bedroom Callie crept into the living room. Surely the sleeping blonde who was on the facing away couch wouldn't mind a wake up call. She was in her sexy lingerie after all. Sure it wouldn't be what she had planned but they could go a few rounds before Sofia woke. The Latina grinned as she moved around to the front of the couch. The crease in her brow was back. Arizona wasn't there. She felt that drop in her stomach and heart race. It was fine. Arizona had probably just gone to see to Sofia and fallen asleep in the rocking chair beside her cot. She often did on night where Sofia was restless or Arizona had had to work late. Everything was fine. Opening the door they left ajar she felt a cold chill dance its way down her spine. No awaiting blonde. Just a small beautiful girl whose chest rose and fell with each breathe. Panic set in now.

Stepping backwards Callie's elbow collided with the door frame of their daughter's room. She felt the shot of pain, but it felt oddly surreal. Like it was someone else's arm. A pain you could sympathise with. A pain you could understand, but it wasn't really yours. This could not be happening. Where was Arizona? Callie could feel her heart beating at what felt like an impossible rate. Like it might just beat right out her chest. She heard that buzzing noise again, and remembered with a jerk it was that had awoken her. Nearly falling on the polished wooden floor, the panicking woman rushed towards her cell which she had discarded on her bedside table at some point earlier this morning. Arizona's name flashed upon the small screen, causing a grin to appear on the brunette's face, so big it hurt. Everything was okay. She hadn't doubted it for a second. Pressing the necessary button, the cell was lifted to her ear. "Thank god, Arizona where…" Callie voice came out in a rush as she felt the serotonin flood her veins. The voice on the other end did all but stop her heart from beating as it spoke the words which may have just changed her life forever. Cause life changes in an instant.
