Future

Chapter 11

(Someone 😏suggested that I do a double update because it took so long to do the other update so need another update :))
Callie's POV: I stand at the nurses station, staring at the clock. I get off work at 5:30, just enough time to get things ready for Arizona. 5:29. I stare. 5:30. I flip the chart that I was holding shut put it back in its spot and hurry to the attendung lounge. As I'm walking, Mer is walking towards me.

"Hey. Have you seen Owen? I need him for a consult and he isn't answering. And Amelia. I haven't seen those two." She asks.

"Uh I haven't seen them but they have been known to run off together. They are married." I laugh. "I would love to help but I gotta go"

"Did you get paged?" She asks.

"No...I uh... Have plans." I stutter. Mer looks at me, trying to figure out what I was up too.

"Ok. I'll see you later." She says and walks away. I left out a sigh of relief and look at my watch. 5:40. I'm gonna late. I walk into the attendings lounge, change my clothes quick and head down to the tunnels. My stomach already has butterflies. A little bit of nervousness and a little bit of excitement. I walk into a storage room and look around for a table. I find a dusty old gurney but it will work. I throw a table cloth over top it and start to set up. I'm so busy, I forget to check my watch. I quickly look at my wrist and read the time. 6:10. Arizona's gonna be here soon. I rush out and stand in the tunnel, waiting. There's no one yet but it takes a little bit to walk down here. 6:15. Still no Arizona. 6:30. Still no one. I sit down and lean against the wall.

Did she really ditch me? I can feel tears start to well up in my eyes. I thighs that she felt the same. I sit there and all of a sudden, I hear footsteps. I stand up quick and see blonde hair bouncing towards me. I quickly wipe my tears away and smile.

"I thought you stood me up." I admit.

"I know I know. I'm so sorry. There was a kid come into the ER. She's fine. Just a couple of bruises." She says and smiles. "I'm sorry I made you worry." She notices that I was crying a little and grabs my hand. "I won't do that anymore." I laugh and squeeze her hand.

"Thanks." I say and stare at her for a while.

"So what did you bring me down her for? I couldn't concentrate all day." She says

"Ok so since we have to be quiet about this, we probably won't be able to go out to dinner, so this will have to be second best." I say and lead her into the room. I have a candle light dinner set up for her. All I could get for food was some pizza. "It's not fancy food but I couldn't get a cooked steak down here." I joke and look over at her. She's smiling. She lets go of my hand and walks towards the table.

"Calliope. This is..." She trails off. She turns around to face me. "This is amazing." She says and walks towards me. She wraps one arm around my waist and her other hand around the back of my neck and pulls me in for a kiss. It's a tender kiss but turns into so much more. I run my hands up her back, under her shirt. I'm about to in clasp her bra before I stop.

"What? Is something wrong?" Arizona asks.

"I don't think we want to spoil our dinner." I say and smile. Our faces are so close.

"I guess we shouldn't." She says and gives me another kiss and walks over to the table. She sits down and puts her napkin on her lap. I look at her and smile, then head over to my spot across the table and sit down. I grab a slice of pizza and take a bite. Arizona smiles at me and then looks at her lap.

"What?" I ask, my mouth full of pizza.

"Remember the first time we had pizza?" She says and looks up from her lap with a gigantic smile on her face. I smile and look up at the ceiling, thinking about our first pizza. I laugh.

"I miss those times." I say and look at Arizona. She looks at her lap again.

"What are we going to do Callie? I want to be with you again so bad. But I can't spilt my family apart. And I don't want to rip you and Mia apart." She says.

"I know. But we would be happy. I want to be with you more than anything. I love you and miss you so much. I can't wait to go to sleep in the same bed and wake up next to you in the morning. I want to make breakfast on Sunday mornings for the family, listening to music and just be happy. I want that with you." I say.

"Then let's do it. I'll tell Carly tonight and you tell Mia." She says. I think and then nod my head.

"Let's do it." I say and smile crazy big. I reach across the table for Arizona's hand and she reaches for mine. We stare at each other.

"We...should...probably...eat our pizza." I say and giggle. We let go of our hands and start to eat.

"Oh wait. I forgot something." I say and run over to my bag. I pull out a speaker and plug my phone in and play some music. "Now we can eat." I sit back down and Arizona and I start eating and enjoying time together.

After we have everything picked up, we walk out of the hospital, holding hands. I check my watch. 12:01.

"I feel like we have a hard time keeping track of time." I say and laugh. We get to our cars and kiss goodnight.

"I had a really good time tonight. Thank you, Calliope." She says and I open her care door so her. She steps in and sits down and starts her car. "Goodnight. I love you." She says. 

"I love you too. Drive safe." I say and shut her door. She drives away and I get in my car and drive home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I unlock the door and step in quietly, trying not to be loud so I don't wake Mia. Sofia is still at Mers house. I walk through the hallway, past the living room when I notice a light in the living room still on. I stop and peek in. To my surprise, I see Mia sitting in the chair in the far corner, reading a book.

"Hey. Why are you still awake?" I ask and set my stuff on the coffee talk and walk over to her and give her a kiss on the forehead.

"I couldn't sleep. Had some stuff on my mind." She says and closes her book. "I have to talk to you, Callie" My heart starts to race.

"What's wrong?" I ask and sit on the ottoman across from her. She takes a deep breath.

"I uh. I have to tell you something. I made a mistake. I uh. God this is hard. I uh. I've been cheating on you." She says. I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest. I don't know why I feel this way, I'm about to tell her that I'm not in love anymore.

"I want a divorce. It's been a long time coming and I want a divorce." I say without emotion. She looks surprised.

"What? I-I don't understand. Can't we work this out? Can we talk-"

"How long? How long have been cheating on me?" I say, still not looking her.

"3 months." She says quickly.

"3 mon-" I say, completely speechless. I sit there, quietly. I don't know wait to say. I stand up and walk towards the stairs.

"Where are you going?" She asks. I don't answer. I walk to our room, grab my suitcase, pack it full with clothes and walk back downstairs and head towards the door. "Callie! Please! we can survive this. Please!" She begs.

"I don't want to. I don't want to be with you anymore." I say, not looking at her.

"Calliope, please." She says. I turn to face her, tears are running down my cheeks. She's crying too.

"You don't get the right to call me that." I say and slam the door.
