Chapter 43- Putting the Past Behind Us

A little later that night.....

Stepping away from our moment of romance, Callie took my hand and kissed the top of it before putting the ring on my finger.

When Callie and I finally walked back into the house, she handed me a different set of clothes to change into. It was a pair of jeans with a brown shiny belt, and a grey v-neck sweater with a darker grey shirt for underneath. The same outfit as one of our first dates, when we danced it out to "little pieces" in her apartment. As I walked up the stairs to change, I remembered getting ready for that date. It took me an hour to come up with an outfit, and I only went with that one because if I kept trying to find a different outfit, I would've been late. I remembered her bright smile when she opened the door for me, and how she gleamed when she greeted me.

Changing into the clothes, I remembered the looseness and fun of that date. I never knew what it would lead to. I never knew that it would lead to what I didn't want making me happy; kids of my own. I didn't realize that although I felt I was taking in Callie, really she was taking in me; making me better. Helping me come into what I was made to do. I was made to be Sofia and Thea's Mama. I was made to be Callies wife. I was made to be a pediatric surgeon. I was made to be a fetal surgeon.

Walking down the stairs, I saw Callie in a pair of jeans with a purple shirt on. It was the same outfit she wore to that date. That carefree and happy date. I greeted her at the bottom of the stairs in took her hands. She caressed my face with her hands. She beautiful, perfect hands. Mark was right. Her hands are amazing. As she brought herself closer to me, I expected a kiss, but rather received a hug. A hug I never knew I needed. The most meaningful embrace of my life.

I didn't know that something as small as a hug could tell you that the rest of your life would be okay.

As she stepped back from me, we instinctually grabbed each others hands while staring into each others eyes. Callie sighed, and then smiled. "We're okay" she said happily.

"We are okay" I repeated, copying her tone. She leaned past me and hit a button on her phone, and seconds later, little pieces came on from overhead speakers. As soon as I heard it, I grabbed her face and kissed her, but only briefly. I couldn't hold myself back. She always knew what I wanted, she always knew how to make me smile, she always knew what I needed. I just wish I wasn't speaking in past tense.

As soon as I released her from my kiss, which she was totally into, we skipped to the middle of the living room and started dancing our hearts out the same we we had years before on that one first date.
