"Sorted?" Callie nods and hugs Sofia to her legs.

"She's gone. For good. I didn't know"

"It's not your fault"

"I should have-"

"You can't beat yourself up over it. Sorry I know it's not my place" Eliza says, joining me at the front door.

"No, don't apologize. I don't want to fight with you two. Arizona loves you and you make them both happy. That's all I've ever wanted"

"Good because I've asked Eliza to marry me"

"I'm happy for you. I know I nearly got in the way and I'm sorry about that. Jealously kicked in. Old habits I guess"

"Thank you Calliope" She nods, smiling.

"We should get going. I'll bring her back Thursday"

"Yea come here sweetheart" Sofia moves over to me and I crouch down slowly. "Be good for Mom Yea? Call me whenever you want and have fun"

"I will. I loveyou Mama"

"I love you too Sof" She hugs me tightly "I will see you Thursday" I kiss her cheek before standing up.

"Bye Eliza" Sofia runs into Eliza's legs and I smile as Eliza hugs Sofia quickly.

"Bye short stuff" Sofia groans and shakes her head.

"I love you"

"I love you too. Have fun Sof" Sofia nods and returns back to Callie and Callie says goodbye before heading back to her car, Sofia holding her hand. She looks back at me and Eliza and I wave before blowing her a kiss. She giggles and pretends to catch it before climbing into the car and putting her seat belt on as Callie shuts the door.

"So do you feel like lunch?"

----------

"That was a perfect lunch" I laugh and turn onto my side, facing Eliza, my fingers drawing random patterns on her hip.

"Glad you were satisfied"

"You always satisfy me" She purrs into my ear as I kiss her chest.

"Mmm, for dessert I was thinking of-"

"Dessert?"

"Well Yea, except you don't gain calories; you lose them" She chuckles "Win win" She nods as I lean up and kiss her. "I love you"

"I love you too" She pulls back, cupping my cheek "So much" I smile and pull her closer "You should sleep. I know you're tired"

"I'm OK. I can go another-"

"Babe. We have forever for sex, I think I can survive until you aren't tired"

"I can't" I whisper, grinning.

"Get some sleep. You don't need to be sick" Eliza states, pulling the blankets up over our shoulders. "I'll still be here when you wake up" I sigh but agree, moving closer to her, our legs entwining together and her hand coming to rest on my thigh.

Eliza's POV

I lick away the blood forming on the inside of my mouth and grab Arizona's flailing arms, pinning them to the bed as I straddle her.

"Arizona, it's just a dream. Wake up" I struggle to keep her arms down but eventually I'm able to wake her up and she sobs into my neck as I hold her. "Shh, it was just a dream. It wasn't real" She nods against me as I rub her back, tightening my legs around her lower back.
