Lynx: A Callie Torres Story

35

Callie was driving Jada crazy. Their friends had sobered up, each bringing a guy home with them and Lauren, Callie and Luke's coworker Penny. Jada was snuggled up on the chair against her lovers chest while Lauren and Penny, Luke and Lexi, and Luke's friend Tyler and Rachel took up the couches.

The movie the group was watching quickly finished and all of their friends and hookups headed out. Jada took note on who went with who to where so they could track down everybody in the morning. Jada informed everyone that they were to text her when the made it back safely and to use protection.

After watching all the cars leave the driveway, Jada locked the front door and came to join Callie back in the living room. "Now that I have you to myself, I'm going to get my revenge for all that touching you were doing during the movie," she teased.

"Go right ahead," Callie answered. "But first, I want to talk to you. I haven't really gotten to talk to you all day."

Jada sat back down on Callie's lap. "I know, I just didn't want to do it while they were here."

Callie offered a small smile. "I know, I could tell. I'm sorry I'm up your ass about this, but you said it really helps. And I want to keep helping as much as I can."

Jada nodded and hugged Callie. "Thank you Calliope."

Callie had been her biggest supporter throughout this mental health adventure. She was a doctor and most likely had to deal with the consequences of some decisions made by this touchy subject, but she was always there for Jada. Callie always made time to come with her to her appointments and her counseling sessions. Her depression and anxiety had gotten a lot better since they'd taken a break and she decided to try medication. But there were still good days, bad days, and very bad days.

Jada knew she really wanted to wife Callie up soon. She was the best thing Jada could've ever asked for and she wanted to make it official. And Callie was there for her for everything. She would always check up on her throughout the day, and she would take it when Jada lashed out. Jada would always apologize once the episode ended and always felt bad for her fiancée having to witness her at her worst. But Callie had learned to understand her when it was a bad day and what worked best to help her through it. Jada's counselor also suggested a new routine that her and Callie were now on. Jada found it very helpful to sit down and talk with her fiancée about how the day went and what she was thinking throughout the day.

"I really enjoyed tonight," Jada started. "I love being with you all the time, but I love how you always take care of me when we're at the bar. And I like our little bathroom excursions."

Callie laughed with her. "You know I'll always be at your side babe."

Jada nodded and pressed her forehead against her fiancée's. "I know I'm supposed to tell you what I'm thinking, but what I'm thinking right now is how in love with you I am."

Callie pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Jada also loved that Callie did the exercise with her. "I'm thinking the same thing," she answered. "About how I'm glad I'm not single anymore. And how lucky I am to have found you."

Jada cuddled up to her and rested her head on her shoulders. "While we were out I kept thinking about how much I want to marry you like tomorrow. What if we went and filled out the license and had the wedding when we were planning?"

"You want to do that?" Callie asked.

"We don't have to... it's just an idea," Jada rambled.

"Hey babe, I would love to."

"Really?"

Callie nodded. "Really."

Jada walked out with their marriage license in hand and Callie's hand held tightly in other as they made their way to the car.

Jada was a married woman now.

And she couldn't be happier. They filled out the paperwork for the marriage license and Jada's name change. And it had to be one of the best hours of her life. They had set a date for a fall wedding next month in October. The couple planned on waiting until the ceremony for their wedding rings which they still needed to get. And Jada had taken the love of her life's last name.

Jada was ecstatic when Callie opened the door for her and she walked into her home with her wife for the first time. Jada was still processing that Callie Torres was her wife. Callie was her freaking wife. And she was the amazing doctor and superhero's wife.

She had zoned out until she heard the pop of a cork and looked over to see Callie pouring two glasses of some expensive wine. Jada had no idea what the name of it was, but it was really good.

Callie brought over her glass wearing one of those sexy grins across her lips. Jada now didn't want the wine, and was eager for their first time as a married couple, as the sexual tension was obvious as Callie tugged at her necklace and took a sip of wine, all without breaking eye contact with Jada.

Jada chugged the small amount of wine in her glass while Callie finished hers as well. Jada flipped the glass upside down in the sink, grabbed Callie's empty glass, and pushed her back into the counter while pressing kiss after kiss to her wife's lips.

Jada thought she had her wife pinned against the counter, but Callie spun out of her grasp and threw Jada over her shoulder. She found herself looking over Callie's back as she was carried up the stairs and into their bedroom.

The kisses resumed as they both undressed without pulling away from the kiss until Callie pushed Jada back onto the bed and pulled her shirt, the last remaining piece of clothing on her, over her head.

Callie tackled her further onto her back and Jada found herself begging for her wife already. "Easy sweetheart," Callie whispered into her ear. "We're just getting started."
