Cupcakes and Tattoos

Chapter 17

"Oh Daniel we were right!"

Barbara Robbins smiled gleefully at the woman in front of her who had just thrown a kitten behind her to pull down her shirt over her underwear. She had noticed that the t-shirt belonged to Arizona.

"Was there any doubt?"

"She's so pretty!"

"Of course she is! Arizona has good tastes. Just like her father."

Run, Callie, run! Move! Talk! Say something! Callie was completely frozen to the spot. It was obvious to her who the older couple she found on the other side of the door were. The sparking blue eyes of the very scary man matched her girlfriend's perfectly. So did the dimpled smile and blonde hair of the very excited looking woman bouncy up and down next to him. She even has Arizona's excited peppy bounce. Callie would think it was cute if the situation were different.

"Barbara, I think we're scaring her."

Barbara grabbed Callie and pulled her in for a tight hug. "Oh my! Where are my manners? I'm Barbara Robbins and this is my husband Daniel. I believe you know our daughter?"

"Um... yeah. I'm Callie. Torres. Callie Torres." Callie finally found some words. "Come in, I'll go get her. There's fresh coffee in the kitchen." She waved them in and they followed her deeper into the house. As they passed the stair case Callie stopped short. Shit. I didn't think this could get any worse. Arizona's hot pink bra and Callie's lacy red panties were hanging over the bannister and various other articles of clothing were spread out across the staircase. How the hell did I not notice that earlier? She glanced at the couple behind her praying they hadn't seen it. Judging by the amused looks they were exchanging they definitely had. Fuck, fuck, fuck. "So, you know were they kitchens is. I'll go get Arizona." Callie took off running up the stairs making sure to hold her tshirt down to cover her butt.

Arizona jumped when Callie came bursting through the door, making her splash her coffee all over her down comforter. "Calliope! This is going to cost a fortune to get cleaned!"

"Your mother just hugged me in my underwear and your bra is hanging on the bannister!" Callie hissed.

"What are you talking about? My mother is in New York." Did she hit her head?

"No she's downstairs having coffee with your big scary father!"

"That's impossible, Calliope."

"What? You think I'm making this up for shits and giggles?!" They both jumped when the doorbell rang again.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me." Callie turned to go back downstairs to answer it.

"Calliope, pants!"

"Right!" Callie grabbed a pair of her jeans and pulled them on. "Arizona get up! You have to go talk to your parents."

Arizona frowned at her and climbed out of bed. She still had no idea what Callie was talking about. She just talked to her parents last night and they were definitely in New York. Arizona pulled on a hoodie and boxers and followed Callie towards the stairs. She ran into Callie's back when the brunette stopped suddenly at the top. "Calliope, what are you doing?" She followed Callie's gaze and sure enough, standing at the bottom of the stairs that were covered in discarded clothes were her parents smiling up at them. They had been joined by Mark, who was smiling like he had just struck gold.

"Arizona, honey! I hope you don't mind. We let this handsome nice young man in. He said he was a friend." Arizona's mom beamed up at her. Arizona and Callie still couldn't move or talk.

"Torres! Blondie! Did your dryer explode?" Leave it to Mark to point out the big gay elephant in the room. Barbara and Daniel chuckled. The expression on their daughter's face was priceless.
