Home sweet Home?

I hear a faint sound in the distance, which is very annoying. Beep beep. Beep beep.
"Torres turn that shit off!" I hear Addison yell
I roll over and my whole body cracks odd I know, but hey that's what happens when you get old. I finally after searching for a few minutes hit the annoying machine, 20 minutes later Im ready fresh, smelling good and I'm on my way.
"You ready to go Sir?" A bus boy that Addison hired awhile ago for groceries shopping and stuff. "Yes I'm very ready." I say and throw my stuff in the back and get in. Before I know it I'm pulling up to the airport and on my way inside, finally after an hour of arguing with mangers and cops I'm on the plane and ready to go, headphones in book out and I'm off back to New York.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Ahh fresh New York air"
I probably look crazy right now with my arms up in the air breathing rather slow. After I'm finally done with my craziness I hail a cab
"Where you going lady?" He asks he kinda looks like Pheyten Manning weird.
"888 West Longbeach road, Babylon" I say as I stare at him from the backseat, "is there something on my face?" He says as he checks himself out in the mirror "Oh no! Sorry! You just look like someone familiar that's all" I say as I blush silently playing with my fingers. He just starts driving and I'm just staring out the window, I've always been memorized by the buildings and all the people. Before I realize we're here he says "Are you gonna get out or are you just gonna stare at the place? I know people who serve don't get home a lot but it couldn't have been that long since you've been home."
He says as he looks at me "I haven't been home in almost 2 years." I say as I look back at him and I can tell he immediately feels bad. " it's fine, I'm just excited to see my girlfriend. Here you go" I say and hand him his money and grab my stuff " Have a good day" and I close the door. I just stand there, staring, I don't know how long I've been standing here just staring and the big brick building with a big sign that says "Linwood Apartments". But suddenly I hear footsteps behind me and I hear "Torres is at you?" I swear if that's who I think it is I'm gonna cry. " Mark? Is this you?" I say and turn around. There he is white v-neck and blue jeans with the same grey hair and perfect teeth. "Hell yeah it's me ! Get your ass over here and hug me!" He says and I run and jump in his arms. He had been my best friend since pre-k he's the one who convinced me to go in to the Army, and for that I will forever be grateful, he finally puts me down and asks "what the hell are you doing here, dose blondie know?" I straighten out my shirt and say "No ARIZONA doesn't know I'm here I'm gonna go to her work and surprise her after I put my stuff away." He just smiles and picks up my luggage and carries it in the apartment building and up the stairs and in my house. "Wow" is all I can say I haven't stepped foot in this apartment for 2 years, "damn it's been to long" as I run and jump on my couch and just sigh. It's good to be home.
-------------------------------------/-----------------
"Do you still have your car?" I ask Mark who is currently stealing chips from my cabinet,
"Yeah why?" He says as he flops down on the couch next to me.
" Will you drive me to her job so I can surprise her?" I say as i steal a chip from the bag.
"Sure when?"
"Now please" I say as we grab our jackets and were out the door.
We pull up to a big hospital building and I smile as I see arizonas red comaro sitting in the parking lot.
" Go get your girl Torres I'll see you tomorrow." He says and hugs me.
"Thank you so so much." I say and hop out of the car and run in the hospital. I approach the nurses table and I immediately see everyone go stiff, I look questionably at everyone until I realize I'm still in uniform. I laugh at myself "it's fine, Can anyone tell me where Arizona Robbins office is?" I see one nurse hurriedly type threw the computer and spits out "4th floor room 213" I start walking off and yell back "Thank you dear, and by the way no need to be scared!" I hurry up and catch the next elevator and hit 4 and I'm on my way.
Now room 213 I say as I walk down the hallway, ah ha! Before I knock on he door I see a bouquet of flowers in a vase and run over to it, and quickly steal it. Hopefully no one will notice, "Hey are you Callie?" A blonde says to me, " That depends who wants to know" I say and look over curiously "Hi I'm teddy Altman remember? Arizonas New best friend?" "Oh shit! Hi teddy nice to finally meet you." I say and shake her hand. "Well it good to finally meet you too! Your all Arizona talks about, dose she know your here?" "No she doesn't I'm surprising her right now" I say and she smiles "Well what are you still doing here? Go!" I smile "oh Callie!" She yells I spin around and raise an eyebrow "I won't tell anyone you took the flowers" she winks and walks away, I just laugh and return to my current task, I am now at the door and knocking a few seconds later I hear that sweet voice "Come in" I take a deep breath and put the flowers in front of my face and turn the knob and walk in. There she is in her white lab coat and bright blue Nikes writing something down on a paper in front of her. " How can I help you?" She says still not looking up from her paper, " I'd like to get a hug and a kiss from my girlfriend, please." I say and her head immediately flys up and she gasps. "Can you still help me?" I say and set the flowers down on her desk and walk around it and open my arms and wait. "Calliope" she says and jumps in my arms with her legs around my waist and arms around my neck. "Hi baby." I say in her ear, and breathe in the smell I've missed more than anything. " What are you doing here?!" She says and I just smile and kiss her and say "I'm here to see my girl, but if she doesn't wanna see me I can go." I start to put her down she just laughs and pulls my face to hers and kisses me and whispers against my lips "If you move I'll kill you." I just smile and whisper back "that's what I thought."

-------------------///////------------/////---------
We hugged for another 20 minutes and after we finally let go I asked "Are you hungry ?" She just nods" Well what do you want?" "I want pizza" she says, I just grab her hand and intertwine our fingers and say "Then pizza you shall have" and we walk out of her office and I hear about a 100 squeals and I turn to Arizona and give her a weird look and she points to a little redhead and whispers "That's April she thinks we're adorable she really wants to meet you" I smile and walk over to the squealing girl. "Are you April?" I say and hold out my hand "Yes! I've been dying to meet you!" She shakes my hand "Well here I am!" I say and her and Arizona start talking and I'm in between listening and staring off into space, "ready babe?" She says "Yep let's go" after being stopped another 10 times by all her friends that I've never met, we are showered and eating pizza in our bed watching a good movie.
After awhile I hear faint snores and look to my right and see Arizona fell asleep and I smile and rub my finger down her cheek and kiss it. "Goodnight baby, I love you"
I say and put he pizza and stuff on the floor and lay down. I feel her cuddle up to me and whisper in her sleep "I love you too babe"
I smile and fall in to a much needed deep sleep.
