Chapter 8

                                    

                                          

 
The time seemed to fly by the next thing I knew my pager went off, and I silently cured. I didn't want to leave. I was having such a good time.
"You have to go," Penny asked.
"Yeah, I'm sorry," I sighed, standing up and putting my coat on.
"It's okay, I'll walk you," she smiled, putting her coat on. With that, we left and walked across the street.
"I really enjoyed tonight." Penny smiled, and we stopped at the front doors of the hospital.
"Yeah, me too." I smiled.
 " So that mean I get a second date." So it was a date, 
"Unless you don't want to" 
"No, I would love to," I smiled. I hadn't realised how close we were standing till she place her hand on my check, suddenly our eyes connected and next thing I know her lips are on mine, it took me a few seconds to realise what was happening before I kissed her back. It was amazing. She tasted amazing smelt amazing, I had to pull away before I lost all control.
"I'll see you soon," she smiled before placing another kiss on my lips and walking away. I stood there for a few seconds, reliving the kiss it was amazing. It gave me butterflies. Suddenly my pager went off again and I went to get changed.
ARIZONA'S POV
I just stood there. I couldn't move, I can't believe what I have just seen. It feels like my heart it breaking all over again. I know it's over, and we both need to move on, but seeing Callie kissing that new woman and the way she looks at her hurts more than words can describe. I couldn't stop the few stray tears from leaving my eyes as I saw Callie walk away with a smile on her face. I quickly wiped them away and got in my car and headed to Meredith's, I had to stay a little late so she took Sofia to hers and I said I would pick her up when I finished.
"hey Mer" I half smiled as she opened the door.
"Are you okay?" she asked as she let me in. 
"Not really," I sighed as I sat down on the chair in the kitchen.
"Callie is seeing someone," I said before she could say anything.
"Well, see told me today that she was going for a few drinks with that new doctor, but she wasn't sure what it was."
"Well, I bet she's pretty sure now since they were making out."
"Ah," 
"Arizona, I know it hurts, but you knew this was going to happen. You knew Callie would find someone else, and besides, they only met today. It might not even go any further,"
"it will," I sighed again, fighting back the tears.
"How do you know?"
"Because I saw the way Callie looked at her, the way she used to look at me when we first got together."
"you need to move on Arizona I know its hard but its going to hurt more and be harder if you don't and you know that, you need to let it go, let Callie go, let her be happy"
"I know, is it okay if I stay her tonight, Teddy is at work, and I don't really wanna be alone."
"Yeah, sure, Sofia is asleep anyway she was tired, bless her,"
"Thanks." I half smiled. Meredith then went and got us 2 glasses and a bottle of wine. I got my phone out and messaged Callie.
"I had to stay later at work and only just finished, so Meredith took Sofia, and she's asleep. Is it okay if I spend the day with her tomorrow and drop her off at tea time?"
A few minutes later, I got a reply
"Yeah, no problem, I'm working anyway,"
While Meredith was making some food, I went upstairs to see Sofia being quiet, not to wake her. I gave her a kiss on her forehead and walked quietly out.
"Momma." I turned around to see Sofia looking at me.
"Sorry baby girl, I didn't mean to wake you," I said, walking back over, sitting next to her. She instantly crawled into my lap.
"How would you like to spend the day with me tomorrow?"
"Yeah," she sleepily smiled.
"Good now, go back to sleep, and we will have lots of fun tomorrow, okay?" she just nodded and snuggled closer to me. I held her tight, loving the way it felt having her in my arms, knowing that I would do anything for her. A few minutes later, she was snoring softly, so I gently placed her back on her bed and tucked her in before quietly leaving the room.
The next day I got up early thanks to Sofia jumping on me, I was tired a little hung-over me and Meredith got a little carried away last night but I would never get sick of getting woken up like this, its the best way to wake up. After having cuddles for a little bit, we had some breakfast and got ready, and then we headed out. It was such a nice summer day. I didn't have anything planned, just talking today as if it came.
First, we headed to the park and had fun on the swings and slide. This child has so much energy that she's only 3, but by God, where does she get it from. After a few hours in the park we went and had a little picnic by the river, it was amazing and Sofia seemed to enjoy herself. Sofia then wanted to go to the soft play centre around the corner, so we did, and she was crazy. It warmed my heart seeing her so happy, seeing her smile and laugh, it's priceless. 
It silly but when Callie left me I feared that she would take Sofia away from me, I think that was one reason why I held on because I didn't want to lose Sofia as well, I knew Callie wouldn't do something like that but it was always there in the back of my mind. I just hope who ever Callie gets with whether it be Penny or someone else doesn't take my place, I mean I'm not Sofia's biological mother or any blood relation, but to me she's my daughter, always will be, I help raise and she calls me momma, she see's me as her mum and I hope she always will because I am. I'll never let anyone change that I will always fight for her. She's the only thing I have left of Callie, of mine, and Callie's relationship, and I don't ever wanna let that go.
