Cupcakes and Tattoos

Chapter 44

"Calliope!" Arizona yelled into their house and slammed the door. She was livid and she needed to see Callie's face to calm her down or she was going to punch something.

"In the kitchen!"

"They threw me out of my own bakery! My bakery!" Arizona immediately walked up to Callie and buried her face in the brunette's neck. She could already feel her anger melting away as she inhaled the scent of her fiancée mixed with whatever was cooking on the stove. It was her favorite smell in the world. Even better than fresh baked bread and cookies straight from the oven.

"Who did?" Callie set down the spoon she was stirring her sauce with and wrapped her arms around Arizona.

"My parents! And Lexie and Meredith." Arizona huffed. "Damn traitors. They supposed to be on my side."

"Why did they kick you out?"

"They want to work on our cake. Why did you agree to let them surprise us? You were supposed to be the one to say no and now I'm not allowed in my own bakery."

"Like I could say no to your mom." Callie laughed. She trusted them to make them a gorgeous cake and didn't really care what they did. "Look on the bright side, you get to spend more time with me now."

"That's true." Arizona pecked Callie on the lips and went to get them each a beer out of the fridge. She didn't care what time it was. "Where's Teds?"

"Uh, she's with Addison." Callie hoped she didn't ask what they were doing.

"Doing what?"

"Some errands, I think." That wasn't really a lie. Addison had taken Teddy to an interview at the hospital the doctor hoped to work for. "I think Teddy was getting bored just sitting around here."

"So, we're all alone?" Arizona perked up. For the past two days their house has been full of her parents and best friend. She loved them, but her parents were starting to get on her nerves, especially after today.

"Yes and I know what you're thinking. No sex."

"But why?" Arizona sat on a stool and pouted.

"We agreed on no sex for a month before the wedding."

"Well, that didn't work out, now did it?" Arizona said with a smug smile.

"Then we agreed on no sex for two weeks before the wedding."

"That's dumb."

"You can wait two more days, babe."

"But-"

"Two days. It'll be worth the wait, I promise."

"Fine." Arizona slouched in her seat in defeat. She had no idea why she agreed to such a thing.

"Hello?!" Teddy called into the house.

"In the kitchen!" Callie and Arizona yelled back.

"Mmm, it smells amazing Cal." Teddy grinned widely she came into the kitchen. "I'm looking forward to being able to eat here at least five days a week."

"You got it?" Callie asked hopefully.

"I did."

"Congratulations!" Callie said as she gave Teddy a tight hug. "This is so exciting."

"I know!"

"Um, guys?" Arizona shifted her eyes between the two hugging women. "Want to fill me in here?"

"You are looking at the new cardiothoracic attending at Sierra Faith Hospital." Teddy said gleefully.

"Sierra Faith?" Arizona blinked dumbly. "The Sierra Faith that's like forty miles from here? That Sierra Faith?"
