Together Again

Seeing

Arizona POV
Well I finally saw her again. Unintentionally. At work. I didn't know she came back to Seattle.
Things were obviously tense, and I didn't really know what to do, so I went to the house. Our house. That we still shared even though we had been through hell and back. I didn't want to stay at another hotel or Meredith's house or anywhere except my home. I wanted to sleep in my bed.
Callie wasn't home yet, I didn't see the car, so I unlocked the front door and stepped inside. It was quiet. Sofia must still be at Mer's. It was supposed to be Callie's night though tonight, so both of them would be home in an hour or two.
Flicking on the lights to the hallway, something caught my attention on the floor. I set my purse down on the counter before walking over to what seemed like an article of clothing.
It wasn't just any article of clothing though. It was a bra. A small bra though. Definitely not Callie's and definitely not mine though, I didn't wear bright colored bras. Slowly, I bent over and picked the undergarment up, inspecting it under the light. Then I heard the door open.
They were back sooner than I thought they would be.
"Alright Sofia, lets get you a snack and then time for a bath!" I heard Callie's voice. Quickly I threw the bra into the guest bedroom with it's open door.
My car was outside so obviously she knew I was home. Oh well, I hope she'll understand.
"Mama, I'm thirsty can I have some orange juice?" little Sofia asked politely.
"Maybe tomorrow, I don't want you all hyped on sugar, how about just some water for now?" Callie said enthusiastically. I couldn't see the two of them, but in my mind I saw Sofia's face form into a pout, but she submitted and they both went into the kitchen. Maybe I should go over there and say something.
I was in a really awkward situation right now and I had no clue what to do. Should I just go upstairs quietly and get into the bed and see what happens? Or should I go in the kitchen and say hi. It was almost a no-win situation, there were downsides to everything. Callie could have multiple feelings about this.
I decided to go with the first option. I wasn't really ready to confront Callie anyway, so I waited until I heard the sink running and I darted upstairs and into the bedroom. Yes, I was going to test it, I had to. I had to sleep in the bed Callie and I usually slept in. If I didn't, then what would be the point of me coming here? I wanted to sleep in my bed.
I quickly changed into my pajamas and climbed into my side of the bed. The pillows were arranged differently than what I usually had them as. Callie had been sleeping on my side of the bed.
Laying there, I heard Sofia downstairs and coming up. I moved the pillows over my head and waiting till she passed the bedroom on the way to the bathroom so she could have a bath. Callie's footsteps followed and I heard the bathroom door close, so I knew I was in the clear.
While I waited, I played over stuff in my mind. Technically, I had forgiven Callie. I was still mad at her for sleeping with a guy, but I had forgiven her for cheating on me. Mainly because I had made that mistake once and I knew what it felt like to be in her position. It definitely wasn't painless.
Then there was the bra I found. What was that all about? I mean, Sofia didn't wear bras yet! Callie must have had a visitor over.
Great. The thought pained me. But the guiltiness of what happened with Amelia and I flooded back into my mind, so I tried not to get angry about Callie seeing someone. For gods sake, I saw someone. But we're apart, so it's okay.
Right?
The bathroom door opened and Callie and Sofia walked to her room to tuck her in. I heard them say goodnight to each other and them read bedtime stories. A small smile crept onto my face as I listened to their voices, it was music to my ears. Soon I heard Sofia's door shut though and the footsteps travel over to the master bedroom. Quickly I turned over to face away from the door and pretended I was asleep. The door opened.
For a second, I don't think she noticed me, because she went into our bathroom and I heard her rummaging through the drawers, performing her nightly routine. Good, that gave me a little bit more time to think about what I was going to say to her.
I was going to start with, hi. And then I'm sorry. And then I missed you. And then I'm not sure what else. My mind went blank.
Then I heard her start to hum. Not any particular song, but soon, it morphed into one, and I heard soft singing from the bathroom. Not wanting to startle her, I crept up behind the closed door and put my ear to it, listening to the wonderful ness of it all.
I really did miss her. I missed everything about her and just her.
She turned off the water and I could tell she was about to come out, so I ran back to the bed and pretended I was sleeping again. The door opened.
I heard one...two...three steps and then she stopped.
"Arizona?"

Xxxx

While I was still pretending to be asleep, she stood there and then I felt her move to her side of the bed. Then she climbed in beside me, instantly the bed was warmer than it had ever been.
I pretended to stir then.
Turning over, I slowly opened my eyes, and saw her. Her luscious chocolate brown eyes and raven black hair absorbed me. My brain started to melt. I started to crave for her, my one and only, all emotions of anger leaving my body.
"Well, it's been a while," she spoke.
