This is AU as well as G!P, so I hope you enjoy the journey. This is my first time posting something so only constructive comments please. Some chapters will have perspectives from both Callie and Arizona but it'll mostly be one view or another.
Chapter One: Meet & Greet
Callie POV
It's been too long since I've been surrounded by anything but sand. Thinking to myself as I enjoy my window seat on Flight 313 to Seattle. Somehow the travel gods have deemed me worthy and I'm the only one in my row. I wonder what Tim and Teddy have been up to since his honorable discharge 6 months ago. Probably fucking like animals but who could blame them. They hadn't seen each other for over a year prior to his discharge. So yea, they're fucking like crazy and now that I think of it. When was the last time I...
"Can I get you anything to eat or drink soldier?" The beautiful attendant asks breaking me out of my reverie for a second.
"No. No Thanks. I'm good." I answer while smiling and peeking at the cleavage she's offering up to me by unnecessarily leaning towards me with her arm comfortably stretched across the back of the empty seats beside me.
She only stays like that for a moment before winking and continuing to the next guest. I have to chuckle because she has been flirting since I stepped on to the aircraft. Now don't get me wrong, Sadie the flight attendant is pretty fucking hot and there's something slightly badass about her, but I'm not interested. I could take her into one of these bathrooms and have a good time but I don't want to.
I want what Tim and Teddy have. I think to myself as I adjust my seatbelt." Yea maybe someday." I breathe out under my breath while relaxing into the rest of my flight.
Arizona POV
"Jamie!" I have no idea why it takes my child forever to grab his favorite Miami Dolphins hat and stuffed dolphin so we can go.
Reaching for my purse, I double check that I have my phone, pager and car keys.
"James Daniel Robbins, what are you doing?!" I yell through the kitchen of my two-bedroom apartment. When I don't get an answer, I start to say something else until I hear little three-year-old feet coming my way.
"I wight here momma." He announces while colliding into my knees.
"Is that right buddy?" I say with a giggle, leaning down to pick my little man up. "Do we have everything buddy?" I ask while a mental checklist. We should have left for Tim's house 20 minutes ago.
"Yep!" Jamie supplies his high pitched answer while shaking his head up and down causing his hat to fall over his face. I just let off a small laugh adjusting his cap and heading out the door.
After locking up the door to apartment 502, we bump into Mark coming out of his apartment across the hall.
"Hey Blondie! Hey kid!" At this point I've come to accept that he isn't going to call me by my name so Blondie it is.
"Hey Mark. Someone wants you." I say as Jamie attempts to launch himself at Mark. With a laugh he swiftly swings Jamie up onto his shoulders as we walk to the elevators.
Upon meeting the hospital's residential man-whore you wouldn't think he would be good with children but he definitely is. I guess I could consider Mark a good friend, it took a while for it to happen though.
Standing off to the side of the elevator I just...watch. You see it's Marks fault that my son currently sports Miami Dolphin gear when the Robbins family is mostly from the San Diego area. A couple of months ago, Mark took a trip to Miami and came back with the two new permanent fixtures for Jamie. I love that my baby has men like Tim, Dad and even Mark in his life.
"Where you guys headed off to Blondie?" Mark asks as walks with us through the parking lot towards my Land Rover, Jamie still on his shoulders.
"Spending this gorgeous spring day with Tim, Teddy and the boys. Tim's bestfriend is coming to visit so we'll probably just end up grilling and lounging out by the pool."
He smirks so I know something inappropriate is about to come out his mouth and I'm already shaking my head while opening the car door for Jamie. "Well as much as I would hate to miss you in a bikini poolside, I have surgeries and skin to grow..LIKE GOD!"
"Like God!" Comes Jamie's enthusiastic chant before I can even form a reply.
"That's right kid, like God."
Now Jamie just keeps saying it, making Mark laugh and me roll my eyes. Thanks alot Mark. Strapping my kid into his car seat. "Thanks alot for that Sloan! Now my kid is going to go around screaming that."
"No problem Blondie. Who knows that's probably a future Plastics God you got there." Smirking he heads across the street to the hospital where we work. If anything Jamie will be a Peds God. Doing a quick glance back at Jamie, making sure he's ok and that we're good to go. I do exactly that and we make our way into Seattle traffic.
Callie POV
I couldn't be happier to be off that flight. Don't get me wrong, I love to fly, it's just that unless I'm flying first class then I have the most uncomfortable experience someone my height can have on a plane. So right now walking to baggage claim, I do my best to stretch my aching and half sleep limbs. I've been in the Sea-Tac Airport on a hand full of occasions so finding the area to grab my bag isn't much of a hassle. Standing of to the side as I wait for the belt to move I pull out my phone, taking it off "airplane mode" I see I have a couple texts from my sister Aria and my bestfriend Addison.
"Have a good flight Cal and call me when you land. Love you." - Aria
"Hey Cal hope I get to see you while you're home. Miss you!" -Addie
I text them when I get to Tim's. I think to myself as I pocket my phone and search out my bags on the conveyor belt thing. What is that thing called? Does anyone know? With bags in hand I make my way out of the airport, it's a surprisingly nice day out and as I pause to take it in, I hear a Masculine but oh so familiar voice behind me.
"Hey Soldier! It's so damn good to see you Cal!" Smiling I turn to get a good look at one of the most important men in my life.
"T! You saw me last week." I reply sarcastically. He pulls me into a hug causing me to drop my bags.
" You know that 10 minute skype call doesn't count. So cut the shit!" I can't help but chuckle.
"I missed you too, T. How's the family?" Stepping out of our embrace Tim grabs my bags and leads the way to his truck. Always the gentleman. I think to myself while climbing into his beautiful black F250 pickup. He has a smile on his face as he buckles his seatbelt, so I just look at him with my eyebrow raised waiting for him to say whatever it is that has him smiling like an idiot.
"Teddy and the boys can't wait to see you Cal. It's been...what, like 2 or 3 years hasn't it?" Taking a minute to think back I realize he's right.
"Yea, I think it has. I didn't get to come out here the last time I was state-side. But at least I'll be spending most of this leave here with you guys. I'm sure Teds is loving having you home on a permanent basis." Laughing he continues to navigate through Seattle traffic.
"Yep. It's great being home full time and really being around for the boys. Plus Arizona lives here now, so it's even better having more family around."
That new information. "How long has Arizona been living here?" I've never actually met Tim's sister, only heard stories and seen a picture or two. If I'm being honest I really want to meet her. And I know how much he missed her while being deployed.
"She's been here about a year now. She works at the hospital with Teds. You'll meet her soon enough." I'm not sure I like how he said that last part. I can tell he's up to something. He's the closest thing I have to an older brother so I know him pretty well. But I guess all I can do is sit back and wait.
Arizona POV
"Hey Teds, do you need help with anything else?" I ask as I place the tray of vegetables and dips on the patio table. Glancing out into the backyard I watch the boys run around kicking the soccer ball. I'm glad Jamie and the boys ge along as well as they do.
"No. I think we're good for now as long as we keep an eye on the grill. Tim put a couple of small things on before he left and I was strictly instructed not to mess with his grill." She says with an eye roll and a laugh. I just shake my head.
"He is far too attached to that thing. He's more and more like the Colonel the older he gets." Teddy just laughs as she sits in one of the patio chairs and I follow suit, sitting across from her, staring at the boys play.
"Tim should be back with Cal soon enough." I nod my head in response.
This will be the first time I meet Tim's "other sister" as he calls her. They have been friends for years but with me living in Baltimore until a year ago, a chance to meet never presented itself. I've heard only good things from both Time and Teddy. Hell even the boys talk about her from time to time.
"This is the first time you guys will meet, right?" Again nodding my head.
"Yup."
Teddy nods as well. "You'll love her. She's -"
"She'll love who?" Tim's voice come from behind us cutting Teddy off, who gets up to give Tim a kiss in greeting. They are great together, always have been. I want that one day, but with the hours I work and Jamie, I doubt i'll ever find it.
"I was just telling Zona, that she'll love Cal." Teddy says sitting back down. Tim nods in agreement, steps toward me and kisses my forehead like he always does.
"You will definitely love Cal. She's the best and you'll see when she comes out here. The boys are crazy about their Tia Callie. Did I ever tell you she's been teaching them spanish?"
Wow really. "No but that's really awesome! How long -"
"Momma! Come look!" We all look over but I know it's Jamie so I get up and make my way into the yard.
Callie POV
After that long flight I needed a quick shower and a change of clothes. What should I wear? I ask internally as I look as the clothes laid out across the bed. I'm standing here in my bra and boxer brief underwear debating between jeans an cargo shorts. There's a good chance I'll end up running around with Brayden and Dominic anyway so I grab my gray cargo shorts and a white v-neck tee; finishing the outfit off with my black and gray Nikes. Once I'm all dress I drop my dog-tags around my neck and head downstairs.
I can hear talking and playing out back so I go through the kitchen and out the patio doors, where I find Tim at the grill and Teddy leaning against the railing watching the boys. Standing there for a minute I see my nephews playing soccer with a cute brown haired boy and a blonde who I can only assume is Arizona.
Nobody has noticed my arrival so I use the opportunity to sneak up behind Teddy. Once i'm in striking distance, I wrap my arms around her waist, lift her off the ground. "Hiya Teds!" I yell as she releases the loudest scream no marine should ever be capable of. Setting her back on the ground, I can't help but bend over laughing.
"DAMN IT CALLIE!" She yells as she hits me on the arm and I can hear Tim's laugh blending with my own. "SHUT UP TIMOTHY DANIEL ROBBINS!" That only makes us laugh harder. Now she's sulking with her arms folded in front of her.
"Did you hear the noise that came out of your mouth babe?" Tim asks while trying to sober up.
I pull myself together enough to pull Teddy into a hug despite her folded arms. "Awww Teds. It's ok." She eventually me back though a bit reluctantly.
"Shut up."
Still smiling I hug her tighter before letting go. "I missed you too." The only response I get is her sticking her tongue out at me which only makes me laugh.
"Fine be that way." Sticking my tongue out too. She's cut off before she can give any kind of reply.
"TIA CALLIE!" Looking to my left I see my boys running toward the patio, so I jump down the three steps to meet them at the bottom. They've gotten so damn big but I pick them up anyway.
"Hola! Como estas?" I ask while holding them to me. Hopefully they remember how to answer it's been a while since we've had a lesson.
"Bien!" They yell at the same time.
"Good job! You remember!"
"Si" Brayden adds and all I can do is smile. Setting them both down I can hear Tim trying to get my attention, so I turn to face him.
"Yea T, what's up?" He points to the blonde standing next to him.
"I just want to officially introduce you to Arizona. Zona this is my "other sister" Callie, Cal this is my favorite baby sister Zona." She rolls her eyes at the introduction but sticks her hand out for me to shake which I do gladly.
"Nice to finally meet you Callie." Her eyes are gorgeous and her hands are deliciously soft.
"Yea you too. I've heard alot about you." I know I'm still shaking her hand but I don't want to let go. She just smiles at me. Jesus she has some sexy ass dimples! I think to myself. Now I'm a little upset we hadn't met til now and she's just looking at me with those eyes.
"Ummm...Callie?"
Raising one eyebrow. "Yea?" She looks down at our joined hands that are still slowly shaking between us.
"Can I have my hand back?"
Feeling like a completely idiot, I can feel the blush crawl up my neck. Letting her hand go, I take a step back. "Sorry." I mumble and look down, hoping she can't see the blush. I can hear Tim and Teddy laughing to the right of us. I shot them a glare which really doesn't help.
As Teddy calls the boys up on to the patio to wipe their hands and face with a wet wipe, I feel a small tug on my shorts. Looking down in front of me, is standing the most adorable little boy I've seen since my nephews over there. His brown hair is lighter than I initially thought with blonde highlights and his eye are the craziest combo of brown and blue I've ever seen before. But then he smiles at me and I'm a goner. There on his cheeks are a set of simples that tell me, he is definitely a Robbins. Kneeling down so I'm eye level with him.
"Hi. I'm Callie." Giving a slight wave of his little hand, he answers.
"I James Daniel Robbins and I three" He's holding up three fingers so I know he's telling me how old he is. Daniel must be a family name, it's Tim's middle name too and I believe the Colonel's first name. I give him my best smile.
"It's nice to meet you James. Do you want to com have a hotdog with me and the boys?" Nodding his head, he raises his arms letting me know he wants to be picked up. I give a quick glance to Arizona, looking for permission, who is standing watching our interaction. Receiving a subtle nod, I bring James up onto my hip and make my way to the table with the boys and Teddy. Tim has already placed a plate of four hotdogs down for us, so i just sit and help James wipe his face and hands. "James do you mind if call you J.D. for short?" Shaking his head, swallowing the bite of hotdog he had just taken.
"Nope. Don't mind. I wike it awot. Ewerybody else calls me Jamie." Adjusting him on my lap, winking at him.
"Then it'll be our own special thing." He just smiles and eats his hotdog. Looking at my other boys beside me, I'm happy to be here right now. My eyes wander across the table to Arizona who has a look on her face that I can't quite place but she smiles and turns to talk to Teddy. "Tim? Are you done cooking and eating?" I ask as i'm finishing off my second hotdog. The boys seem to be done as well.
"Yea Cal, why?" Putting the last plate of burgers, hotdogs, sausages and corn on the table.
"How about a game of soccer old timer?" I say with a laugh because I know he hates being called that and it's exactly why I do it.
"Sure. Come on so I can school you young bucks." He's really not that much older than I am but he loves to remind me. He heads off toward the open area of the backyard. I stand up with J.D. and wave my free hand at the boys.
"Let's go guys!" Getting yells of enthusiasm, we head out to the yard.
Arizona POV
My god she's beautiful. I know she caught me staring a little while ago but I couldn't help it. She was sitting there so effortlessly with my child in her lap like they had known eachother forever. There's nothing sexier than a hot woman who is good kids especially my kid. Jamie never takes to someone that quickly nor does he usually approach someone new without being encouraged. Maybe it helps that he can see the reaction Brayden and Dominic have to her. It's the cutest thing ever to watch them smile at eachother. I can't wait to get to know her better eventhough I know alot already from Tim and Teds.
Sitting my glass of lemonade down; I watch Tim try to take the soccer ball from Callie but she is obviously way better than him and easily dribbles around him, all the while she has Jamie on her shoulders. She must be strong, just imagine the things she would do to my body. Now I can't stop thinking about her hands on me.
"She's a natural with kids." Not meaning ti say that out loud, I glance over to Teddy, who is nodding in agreement.
"Yea. She is. She's been really great with the boys since they were born. She's the same way with her sister's daughter...She'll be a great mom one day." I wonder how she feels about women with kids already? Letting what Teds just said sink in, I sit and watch the soccer game continue on for another 30 minutes at least. Tim has given up on soccer and is now wrestling around with his boys. Callie on the other hand is chasing my son around the yard and I can tell that they are going have the best relationship. I hope so. I shake my head while helping Teddy take all the food in and cleaning up.
"Hey Ted, you have the whole weekend off?"
"Yup. I wanted to make sure we had complete uninterrupted family time the first few days Cal was here. How about you?"
Placing the last of the food in the refrigerator, I nod. "Yea I'm off too. What do you guys have planned?"
"Nothing much really. Probably will sleep in a bit tomorrow but it's pretty open right now."
I walk over to the patio doors watching the cuteness that is Callie and Jamie. Soon after I feel Teddy beside me. " Maybe you guys should stay the night. I don't think Jamie is going to want to leave Callie anytime soon...Plus, I can tell you like her and judging by the blushing handshake I'd say she likes you too."
Damn I hope she does. Ignoring Teddy's comment for the moment I'm watching as Callie seems to be telling all the boys, including Tim, some kind of story with Jamie firmly glued to her back like koala. "I think you are very right that assumption." Laughing. "He is hanging off of her like a fricking baby koala." I would too if I had the chance.
Falling into a comfortable silence, we watch as our rowdy and dirty group come into the house. Teddy and Tim lead their boys upstairs to the showers leaving Callie, Jamie and I in the kitchen.
