When Arizona moves to New York with her daughter Sofia to be closer to her ex-wife Callie, she knows things may get complicated. She also knows what's best for her kid and she is willing to try and make it work between the two of them. What she doesn't know is if Callie wants to start things up again or if she'd rather just keep co-parenting.
This is a story about relationships, family, motherhood, friendship and all of the things in life that it's worth fighting for. Mostly, it's about love. Callie and Arizona never really stopped loving each other, we all know that. So the real question is: will love be enough?

This story takes place in New York after Grey's Anatomy season 14 finale. It includes characters that belong to Shonda Rhimes and others I made up.

"I want to be with you, Arizona, because you are the woman who shows up. [...] I want that. I want the person who will come back to me, no matter how messed up things get, no matter how hard we fight or hurt each other. Because I don't believe we are done. We are not done fighting, we are not done hurting and we are not done having to apologize for it, but we are also not done loving each other."
"I vow to love you, Calliope, in every way it is possibile for a human being to love another human being [...]. I vow to love you enough to stay [...]. I vow to love you enough to put your happiness before mine and my love for you before anything else. I vow to love you enough to be there, to be present, to show up, to encourage you, to lift you up when you are down and to lay down with you if you don't want to be lifted. I vow to love you so much that I will try to breathe for you if you need it, that I would give my life for yours at any time and that, no matter what, I will keep loving you."
Nothing good comes without a cost. I spent all my life fighting against what my family expected me to be until I proved them wrong. I fought to hold onto the love of my life. Hell I've even fought to live a time or two. In all of this I've learned one thing. As long as I have breath in my body then I'll always have another fight left in me. I just hope the next one is easier than the last.
