Future

Chapter 10

Arizona's POV: I am jolted awake by the sound of my alarm clock. I rub my eyes and roll over to look at the time. 8:00. When did I set that? I don't remember setting it. I feel like I only got 3 hours of sleep. Oh wait. I did only get three hours. I grab my phone and check it. Nothing. I have to work today so I sit up, grab my leg and put it on, and then walk into the bathroom to take a shower. As I am showering, I go over the events of last night. Did that really happen? I think to myself. Am I possibly going to get one more chance to have the love of my life again? I ponder while I shower. I turn the water off and step out of the shower and am surprised by Carly sitting on the countertop.

"Hey. Good morning" she says.

"Oh dear god you scared the crap out of me. Good morning" I laugh. I dry my self off, slip my leg back on and head back into the bedroom to get dressed.

"Why are you getting ready?" Carly asks.

"I have to work..." I say

"Oh yea. Sorry. I'm so overtired." She says and flops down on the bed. "How was last night?"

I freeze, not sure what to say.

"Uh we just played Jenga and drank some wine and she left by 11:30." I say, trying to make it sound as boring as possible. "You should be glad that you had to work. It was pretty boring."

"Why?" She asks.

I didn't think she would ask. I would be boring for you because I realized that I'm still in love with her.

"We were both tired so the conversation was pretty lame." I say and go into the bathroom and shut the door so I can get dressed in peace. Woah. That was close. She probably sees that I was nervous and could tell that I was lying. Shit.

"I'm going to go to sleep. Give me a kiss before you leave." Carly tells from the other side of the door.

"Ok." I yell back and finish getting ready.

As I put on my jacket, the kids burst through the door.

"Hi Momma!!!" They yell and throw their bags on the table.

"Excuse me but put your bags in your room. They do not belong on the table." I say

"Ok" Tim groans and grabs his bag and runs into his room with Emma right on his tail. I turn to look at my mom. She is holding Ivie in her hands

"How were they? Good?" I ask

"Just the best. I can't get enough of them. That Emma, wow she sure is a spitfire. And Timothy, he reminds me so much of Tim. It's so nice having that goofy attitude again." My mom says.

"As much as I would love to sit and talk about my kids, I have to get to work. Carly is upstairs sleeping and I should be home around 6:30. If plans change I'll call you." I say and throw my purse over my shoulder and grab my purse. "Bye kids!!! Love you!!" I yell and they come running into the kitchen to give me a hug and kiss.

"Have a good day, Momma" Emma says and runs into the living room. I smile and then give Ivie a kiss on the nose and then head out to my car. I shut my car door and start the engine and head to work.

I pull into the parking lot and find my reserved spot. It feels good to be Chief of a department. I think and sit with my hands in my lap. I still have no clue what to do. That's all I thought about on the drive here. I love Callie. I always have and I never will. I have a daughter with her. But I also have three kids with Carly. But everyone knows that we don't work as well as we used too. After kids were brought into our lives, we kinda forgot about us. I don't want the kids to go through a divorce but I don't want to stay with Carly. I still love her but it's not the sa- I get cut off my someone climbing in my front seat. I look over and see that it's Callie and I instantly relax and a smile finds its way to my mouth.

"Hi" She says and smiles back at me.

"Hi. How are you?" I ask.

"Tired. But I'm good." She says.

"Me too. I definitely need some coffee." I joke and she laughs. We just stare at each other for a while.

"Uh well I climbed in here because I figured that this would be the only time I would be able to talk to you and show how I feel about you. I can't instantly smile and start rambling in front of Mer so I just wanted to give you this," she says and leans over and gives me a kiss on the lips. Not too soft and not too rough. Just right. Even after she pulls away, I hold on to the kiss.

"I don't think I need coffee anymore" I say and we both giggle.

"Oh also meet me when you get done with work in the tunnels. I have something for you." She says and I get butterflies.

"Is it anything like what you just gave me?" I can feel my face turn red.

"I guess you'll have to come and see." She says and with that she opens the door. She glances back at me and smiles. "Have a good day." And gets out and walks into the hospital. God I miss that so much. I haven't got butterflies like that in years. How am I going to focus on the my patients thinking about what she has planned for me.... I wonder what she could have set up.

(I'm so so so sorry for the late chapter. I got so busy with school and I was in the musical and now I'm starting soccer but I'll try to update as much as possible. Leave comments on what you think of the chapter and what you think Callie has for Arizona ;))
