The Aftermath of Callie and Arizona

Those Hot Summer Nights

Arizona's POV:

I love Callie so much, but sometimes she doesn't pick up on subtle, romantic, cues that may be brewing, right in front of her. I was sort of shocked she didn't even notice what had been going on all night between her sister and Renee.

"You seriously didn't see the way your sister and Renee were interacting tonight? It seemed palpable on my end."  We were in bed talking, at the end of the evening after hosting Ari and Renee for dinner.

"No. Should I have? Was it that obvious? To me, they just seemed to be getting along really well."

"You're fine Callie, maybe a bit clueless when it comes to people flirting, but still my gorgeous wife, nonetheless. Thank goodness I made the first move between us, otherwise I fear you might never have realized how much I wanted you back then. If I left it up to you, I might still be waiting!" I started laughing as Callie pounced on top of me and started relentlessly kissing my face anywhere she could.

She stopped torturing me after 10 seconds and laid her head on my chest, while she wrapped her arms around my waist. I felt her snuggle in as we continued to talk and I started softly running my fingers through her thick, jet, black, hair. I heard her let out a contented sigh after a few moments, so I kissed her forehead and continued to talk.

 "Even though I saw what happened, I must say though, I didn't see that one coming. I kept looking at you to see if you had noticed, but eventually gave up and just started watching with amazement. It felt like I was on some strange reality show after awhile. My ex and your sister? Wow. Just wow."

"I trust your judgment Arizona, and neither did I. Do you think Ari is Bi or Gay?"

"I honestly don't know Callie. What do you consider yourself to be? Still bisexual?"

"You always do that, Arizona."

"Do what, Callie?"

"Answer my questions with questions. Either that, or you give me a metaphor or some kind of complex conundrum that's thought provoking and makes me reflect on what I'm truly thinking. It would be annoying if you weren't so damn cute." I could tell Callie was smiling in the dim light, even though she was trying to give me a hard time.

"So then, what's your answer?" 

"I used to think I was bi, then I met you and my perspective of who I was sexually, completely changed. After dating you, I realized I didn't want to date a man again, because no other person had ever completed me the way you do. I know that's why I gravitated towards Penny, I was looking to replace you and epically failed. You have ruined my concept of what I expected and needed from a relationship."

"Well, it's a good thing we got married again then, isn't it?" I laughed as Callie tickled me, but then kissed my stomach. She does that periodically to tell the baby she loves them, it's too cute.

"I guess I don't really know, but if I had to label myself, I would say I'm more lesbian than anything. However, I don't necessarily like labels and just consider myself, me. Okay, I get what you are getting at, by the way. It shouldn't matter what Ari is, or who she likes that matters. What matters is that she is happy, right?"

"I didn't say that, you did sweetheart, but I agree with you. People should be happy and accepted for who they are in this world, not for how they are labeled. But, let's face it, that's a rare commodity this day and age."

"I agree Arizona. I am not sure why, but I always worry about Ari. Not because she needs looking after, but she's always going to be my little sister. I've always protected her my entire life. I just don't want her to get hurt, and will do anything I can, to always take care of her. I also wasn't aware that she was interested in women, that kind of threw me this evening."
