Miami

The morning air is muggy as everyone stands around the hole with sad and depressed looks on their faces,all except one, she has a look of contentment as she rubs her very round stomach. She looks around at the people standing with her, her parents by her side and his parents next to them. Her sister is standing behind her but holding her hand and running her thumb along the top for comfort.

It's pouring rain, umbrellas not doing much in keeping people dry. There's an eerie silence as a casket gets lowered into the ground, only the faintest of sobs are heard in the background. As it's finished being lowered the father of the man in the casket walks over to the shovel and chucks a little bit of dirt on top, before everyone quickly leaves to get out of the rain. The woman looks at the tombstone holding her husband reading 'Antonio Montez, loving husband'. She brings up a hand as if to protect her stomach and fights the urge to sneer at the name.

"Calliope." She snaps her eyes up to her father. "Are you coming with us?"

"No! she's coming with me." Aria says in a defiant voice. Carlos nods and heads towards their limo. "You're safe now." She whispers. Callie only nods and turns her back to the grave that she will never come to see again.

"Come on, there's still the wake and then you can give me a nice foot rub because I feel like my feet are going to explode." Callie tries to joke. Aria forces a smile but they both know it's fake.

Aria has had to watch her younger sister suffer in a loveless marriage and not be able to do anything about it except be there for her when she needed it. Callie won't talk about it, what went on behind closed doors, but Aria knows it's not good. But she also knows Callie will come to her when she's ready to talk.

'I'm free' is running through Callie's mind. It has been for the past four days when she got paged to the hospital. She doesn't know if she should feel sad or relieved. I mean I put on the facade of being the sad widow but honestly I feel like I can breathe again. 5 years of hell I've been living through and my sister Aria is the only one that thought something was wrong. I haven't told her what he did, she just knows from the bruises I use to try and hide.

Aria pulls up out the front of the Montez estate and gets out of the car. I don't really want to go but I have to. Wakes have to be the worst thing ever. And I know I'm going to get 'I'm so sorry for your loss', and have to try and not laugh in their face. Callie see the car door open and looks up to find Aria waiting

"Come on sis, an hour tops and I'll take you home. I promise."

"Ok." They make their way up to the door shaking the few rain drops off before stepping in side. There's a sea of people dressed in black moving around, eating, drinking, talking, and as they make their way to the bar Callie gets a lot of "I'm sorry for your losses," as she predicted. "Could I get an orange juice please." She turns to Aria and whispers. "I could really use a glass of wine right about now but no I have to be nearly nine months pregnant."

"You can have at least one glass cant you?"

"Oh please, all these people in here will think up a giant gossip story and I'll never hear the end of it."

Aria barely holds in her laugh and tries to cover it with a cough. "We can pick some up on the way home 'kay."

The hour passes slowly, people Callie doesn't know having mindless conversations with her. Her energy fails quickly as the time wears on. She rubs her stomach to try and calm her unborn child hoping to stop it kicking in her ribs.

"Calliope would you like to come home with your mother and me?" Carlos asks sitting down next to his youngest daughter.

She lets out a sigh. "No daddy, Aria's staying with me. I'd rather just be at my own place right now." She can feel herself starting to get angry again, she hasn't talked to her father properly for about five years, ever since he made her marry that man.: If you can even call him a man."She thinks "A pathetic piece of shit more like it."

"Ok Mija, we love you." He says kissing her forehead.

"Yeah." Is all Callie can reply because she's not so sure he does. Otherwise he wouldn't have ripped her away from the person she loved all those years ago, just so she could marry a man. Hot tears are brought to the surface at the thought of all the years stolen from her. Callie decides she needs to find Aria . "We have to go now." She say a little more harshly than intended but she nods setting down her glass and saying goodbye.

"Did you still want that red wine?"

"Yeah just get a bottle please."

Ten minutes later they pulling into the garage and making their way inside. Without a word Callie makes her way up to her room and chucks on some sweats and a baggy t-shirt. Sitting down on the bed she tries to rub my back, it's been aching all day and her feet are almost throbbing. As the pain starts to dissipate she makes her way to the bathroom to wash off her make up. Opening the door she sees the smashed mirror from four days ago. Images of Antonio punching the mirror and calling her an idiot send shivers down her spine so she turns and leaves the bathroom without washing her face.

"Cal I'm ordering a pizza your wine's in the lounge room." Aria calls out.

Callie heads straight to the couch, popping her feet up with she instinctively rests her hands on her round stomach . "Well it's just you and me now. What do you think, should we get a new place?" Callie feels a tiny kick in response to her question. "Yeah I agree with you this place is too big for us. Maybe we should move somewhere new. I might look at some hospitals and see what jobs are floating around." Aria plops herself down next to sister, automatically reaching a hand out to rub her stomach .

"Pizza should be here in an hour. You want to watch a movie?" Callie nods in response before getting up and choosing movie it's not long before she's settled back into the couch, her thoughts working overtime

"I've got lists of things running through my mind of what I have to do, I can't focus on the movie. I need to start looking for a new place, sell this mansion, maybe look for a new job, pack up or throw out Antonio's things, can't quiet decide what do with them."

"I can hear you thinking all the way over here. You need to just relax for tonight and we will figure out the rest tomorrow ok. You need to calm down for the baby's sake sweetie." Callie can't help but agree with her sister so she takes some calming breaths and lightly runs her fingers over her belly.. Aria passes her a glass of wine and they get pulled into the movie.

Seattle

He would know that noise anywhere. He hears it everyday and has heard it for many, many years. Smiling to himself as he gives a patient file to the nurse. "Thanks Carol." He says before he turns around and spots the same blue eyes, dimples and blonde hair as his own. "What's with the cheeky grin little sis?"

Arizona scoffs and rolls her eyes. " There's 30 seconds difference between us Tim. You're not older. And I'm smiling because I finally went out with that nurse Amy last night." He looks at her confused. "You know the one that kept saying no," he nods. "Well we had drinks last night finally."

Tim shakes his head. "Me and Teddy wondered where you got to since we didn't hear you come home." He laughs. "Was it worth the chase?"

"eh." She shrugs and Tim rolls his eyes. "Hey I'm young and hot, don't judge."

"I wonder if you'll ever settle down." He says thoughtfully. And after a second they burst out laughing.

"Uh oh, what are you two up to?" Teddy says handing her chart off to an intern to finish off. She walks up shaking her head at her fiancé and his sister. They will never grow up, always laughing any plotting jokes against people.

"Zona here was informing me of her latest conquest last night."

"Ahh finally got Amy did you. That poor girl." Teddy laughs.

"Hey, why is she the poor girl? She could have said no again. "And besides, you're my best friend no judgeys!" Arizona says placing her hands on her hips.

"Judgeys? Really? Judgeys isn't even a word." Tim raises an eyebrow. "You have to start hanging out with people your own age Zona." He laughs.

"There's nothing wrong with hanging out with my kids in my ward. At least they're nice to me unlike you two." Arizona disagrees with a pout.

"Aww Zona you know we love you. You just make it too easy sometimes." Teddy says rubbing Arizona's arm.

"Yeah, yeah. You two are lucky I love you to put up with this mocking." Arizona smiles showing her dimples. "So we still on for tonight? Joes at 8?"

"Yeah count us in. We will meet you there." Tim says grabbing Teddy's hand. "Were going to have some lunch. You coming sis?"

Arizona opens her mouth to answer.

"Robbins!" Dr. Webber bellows.

Arizona and Tim whip their heads around. "Yeah?" they say in unison.

"Oh just Tim. Incoming trauma, we need your hands.

"Ok coming." He kisses Teddy quickly and starts to head to there. "Enjoy lunch without me you two."

"We will." Arizona calls looping her arm through Teddys. . "I hope they have curly fries today."

"Oh fries sound so good, I'm starving, I didn't get any breakfast."

"I had the best doughnuts this morning from that home made place on my way in."

"So I take it you didn't stick around to say goodbye to Amy then?" Teddy asks already knowing the answer.

"God no. Awkward much." Teddy just laughs. Typical.

"Come on I want details over lunch." She drags Arizona to the elevator.

Arizona quickly pulls on her jeans and steps into her boots and races out the attending locker heading to Joes. Running across the street to get out of the rain, she quickly pulls the door open and runs into the back of someone.

"I'm so sorry." She looks up and finds Amy. Great. She plasters a smile on her face. "Hey Amy."

"Oh, hey Arizona, don't worry about it." She smiles at Arizona.

"Oh great, here it comes. She's got that smirk on her lips. The same one she had last night as I ripped her clothes off."Arizona thinks, waiting for what Amy will say next"Let me buy you a drink."

"Hey Zona, get over here." Tim yells. 'Thank you."

"I cant tonight, promised Tim and Teddy drinks. Sorry." Arizona squeezes past Amy and makes my way to the table. "Sorry I'm late, had a patient come in last minute." She takes Christina's tequila, downing it before she can protest. "Thanks for that by the way." Pointing back towards the door.

"Who else is going to save you from your own mess?" Tim replies before everyone bursts out laughing.

"True. I don't know what I would do without you." She gives her brother a wink. "Right time to hit the bar."

"I'll come with ya Blondie!" Mark gets up following her to the bar. "I heard you finally bagged Amy. I'm so proud. I want details."

"I'm not giving you details Sloan." She giggles. Sloan pouts.

"Come on I have to live vicariously through you, I'm in a committed relationship now."

"I know. That's why I'm not giving you any details except that I've had better."

"Oh that sucks don't you hate it when that happens." Aizona shrugs and orders a round of shots and beer.

"What about that red head over there. She's been eyeing you." Mark casually suggests

"I know. But I'm not hooking up tonight I'm just crashing when I get home." Grabbing the drinks, they head back to the table.

"… Believe it." Tim says.

"Believe what?" Arizona hands out a shot to everyone.

"Dr. Castle is finally retiring."

"I wonder if they will find another old dinosaur to run the ortho ward.?" Arizona asks making everyone laugh.

"Ha yeah I don't know but I think it's still another couple of months before it happens. I really hope we get someone good. I seem to be getting more and more broken bones in my ER." He shoots back his shot and stands. "Alright boys, its dart time." Tim, Derek, Mark, Owen, Alex and Ben make their here way to the dart board leaving the girls to get a new round of shots.

"We should have a house party soon!" Arizona exclaims. The night carries on as the girls plan a house party and the boys get worse at darts the more they drink.

Miami

Taping up the last box of Antonio's crap, Callie pushes it with her foot and it slides down the stair case and tumbles to the bottom.

"Cal! You ok?" Aria shrieks coming full bolt into the foyer.

"Yeah sorry I just pushed the box down the stairs." She smiles sheepishly.

"God you gave me a freaking heart attack." Aria complains still clutching her chest.

"Well all his stuff is boxed so do what you want with it, I'm fixing us a snack."

Aria watches her sister waltz into the kitchen, her little sister has been through so much and she doesn't even know the half of it. But in the last week she's seen little snippets of how she used to be, coming back to her. She walks without the weight of her marriage on her shoulders. She's becoming happy and Aria can't help but feel relief that Antonio's gone.

Callie quietly hums to herself pulling out ingredients to make Mac 'n' cheese. Just putting the noodles in the boiling water she hears her phone ring. Picking it up but not recognizing the number she answers. "Hello."

"Hello." A deep voice answers back. "I was wondering if I could talk to a Doctor Torres?" oh great another flipping lawyer.

"This is she." What the hell could they possibly want now. Callie wonders

"My name is Doctor Webber the chief of surgery at Seattle Grace Mercy West." Oh my god. "I'm calling about the attending position you applied for a little while ago. I've looked over you resume and credentials, I'm very impressed by your work and research for a person of your age." He says happily.

"Thank you sir." Aria walks into the kitchen giving Callie a quizzical look. Callie just shakes her head at her sister

"Our head of orthopedics is retiring and I remember the phone interview we did a little while ago. So I'm calling to offer the job to you personally." He states.

Callie freezes, she can't believe this is happening. It's the escape she's been wanting from Miami. It's perfect. She's brought out of her musings as she feels a slight pain in her lower back.

"Callie." Aria whispers. "Your water just broke." Callie snaps her head down to see water running down her legs.

"That's great sir thank you very much. I'm actually on maternity leave at the moment." She wants to hang up but has to finish the phone call. Arias' running around getting a towel as Callie leans on the bench.

"Not a problem Doctor Torres, doctor Castle isn't retiring for a couple of months maybe four or five so we won't need you till then."

"That sounds perfect. I'll take the job. But right now I really need to go. Sorry to rush but I will call back in a couple of days and …" she stops to take a breath as a contraction comes.

"You alright doctor Torres."

"Yup sorry, I'll call you and we can talk. Thank you again sir."

"I'll look forward to your call and congratulations on the baby. Good bye."

"Bye." She ends the call. "Aria!" she yells.

"Coming Cal just grabbing your bag." She races to grab the over night bag and back into the kitchen grabbing Callie's hand. "What was that phone call about?"

Callie takes a deep breath as another contraction hits her. Breathing through the pain and waiting for it to pass. Starting to walk again she smiles at her sister. "I'm moving to Seattle."

Callie lays back down exhausted and red faced with tears in her eyes. "I can't do it anymore."

"Yes you can sweetie, you're nearly there and soon we can meet your beautiful baby." Aria sweeps dark hair out of Callie's eyes and looks into them. "I'm right here. You can do this."

"I don't think I can."

"Ok sit up a bit." Aria slips into the bed behind Callie and lets her lean into her. "Ok on the count of the three you're going to push and squeeze my hands."

Callie nods and when they hit three she pushes. "The heads out. You're doing great Callie, just ease up for a second then when I say one big push and we can see this little person." Doctor Perry says.

She leans back into Aria again as she wipes Collies forehead. "I hate him." Callie says out of the blue. "I hate him so much. I'm happy he's gone. I finally feel safe." She cries.

"I know sweetie, I know." Aria looks at the doctor and Perry gives her a nod. "Ok one big bush and it's over Cal. Come on. On three. One. Two. Three." She pushes with everything she has and it's over. Two seconds later they hear a wail of a cry.

"Congratulations Doctor Torres you have a beautiful baby girl." Doctor Perry lays her on Callie's chest and finishes fixing Callie up.

"She's beautiful." Aria looks down at her niece.

"She's perfect." Callie states falling in love with the little bundle lying on her chest. "This is probably the only thing Tony did right."

Aria lets out a laugh. "You're right. Let me get up and I'll get the camera." After getting some pictures, the nurses take the little girl, giving her a wipe down and a quick exam before handing her back to her mother.

"So do we have a name for this beautiful girl?" Doctor Perry asks.

Looking down at the perfect little girl curled up in her arms, she smiles. "Indigo Grace Torres."
