Saving Calzona's Family

Chapter 20- Someone To Stay

Callie's POV:
It's been a few weeks and Arizona is still changing all the time. Sometimes, she's all for being with me, and other times she's so scared, she'll hide in the bathroom. "Arizona?" She's probably locked herself in the bathroom again. I walk in the bedroom, and I'm surprised to see Arizona sitting on top of it. "Arizona..." She holds up her hand. "I,I, I know you're Callie. A,an,and I love Callie so much. Um, and if I'm allowed, can I sleep in here tonight, with you?" I rush over and she shuffles back at the sudden movements. "Sorry." I step back. "Of course you can." She smiles, jumps up, and positions herself under the duvet.

***the next morning***

Callie's POV:
I'm woken by soft noises and ruffling next to me. I sit myself up against the headboard, and I'm met by piercing, blue eyes. "Callie?" I nod. "Hmm, that's me, I'm Callie." She turns herself over, so her body faces mine. "I,I..." She sighs. "I liked sleeping with you last night. Actually, I loved it. I wanna do it more. I love you Callie." She whispered with ease. Was I getting my Arizona back? "Do you have to go to work today?" A look of panic spreads. I touch her shoulder with my hand, and she doesn't flinch, but only watches it. "Yes, But if you want me to stay, I don't have to go in. I can call Bailey, and tell her-". "Isn't Bailey Chief?" I smile. "Yes, Yes she is." She sits herself up, and reaches for my hands. I hand her my hands, confused but relieved. "Can you call Bailey. Can we just stay in?" I nod and immediately get out of bed. "No,no!" She orders. "Can we stay here, in bed?" I set myself under the duvet covers once more, confused at her actions. "Totally, of course." She shows a small smile. "And can, can you hold me, I want to be close to you. I love you, I know that, that I do. But I need to... , so please, can you hold me?" My smile widens. I lay down, my arm thrown across the mattress. She gently eases herself down, and positions herself on it. The touch starts butterflies in my stomach. When I rest my remaining arm on her shoulder, she shudders before calming. A single tear falls. Oh, how I missed my Arizona...
I need to know now
Are you with me
Are you in or are you out
Are you with me
Are you drifting
Apart
Are you in or are you out
