Note: Nothing like a road trip to really talk things out. We're covering a lot of ground here, so hold onto your hats. Hope you enjoy!

Callie pulled into Arizona's driveway to pick the girls up for their road trip. Not a minute later, Arizona and Sofia emerged from the front door with their luggage in tow. Sofia had a rolling Cinderella suitcase just for the occasion.

When they all got settled in the car, Callie looked at Sofia in her rearview mirror and said, "Now, where are we going again?"

"Disneyland!" Sofia yelled out in excitement causing both of her mothers to giggle in the front seat.

"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot," Callie teased her daughter.

"Excuse me, Miss DJ, cue up the Disney playlist please," Callie requested with a playful look.

Arizona gave her a warm smile and hooked up her phone to the car speakers.

"What do we have for road snacks? Do we need to make a stop before we get going?" Arizona asked.

"I'm so glad you asked. There is a cooler and bag in the backseat filled with all kinds of sustenance. While you know I'm not usually a sandwich fan, what I've packed is the exception. We've got the best PB&J sandwiches ever made and possibly the best ham and cheese hoagies on the planet. We've got Mike and don't forget about his pal Ike. We've got Twizzlers. We've got water, soda, juice and I got your favorite coffee on the way over. Plus, who could forget the Funyuns?" Callie said raising her eyebrow at the mention of the snack Arizona always craved.

"You remembered," Arizona said sweetly.

"Of course. We can stop along the way for real meals when we feel like it, but I figured it would be good to be stocked up for those stretches when there is nothing," Callie said.

"You take such good care of us," Arizona remarked without really thinking about the weighted meaning behind that statement.

"My pleasure," Callie replied as she smiled at Arizona lovingly.

"Before we get this show on the road, let's do a family selfie. Everybody say Disneyland!" Arizona said as she raised her smartphone up and snapped a shot of the three of them before starting their trip.

Callie and Arizona wore Sofia out in the first two hours with a very energized sing-a-long to the Disney classics. Arizona loved it so much she found herself smiling so hard her face hurt. Since things were the polar opposite between them very recently, she found herself appreciating every little moment, from Callie's quick glances to hearing her imitate the different characters with her beautiful voice.

In those moments, whether she liked it or not, Arizona knew she was falling in love with her all over again.

"Twizzle me please," Callie requested.

"Coming right up," Arizona said handing her the candy.

As they exchanged a Twizzler, their hands grazed each other. They flashed each other an embarrassed smile, like two nervous teenagers.

"Oh, to be young again. If I slept in that position, I wouldn't walk right for days," Callie said observing the awkward way their daughter was sleeping in the rearview mirror.

"Right?!" Arizona agreed.

"While she's asleep, I just wanted to thank you," Callie said.

"For what?" Arizona asked.

"For the family dates. For coming to Disneyland with us. She's been so happy lately and I know that's a big part of it. Truthfully, she's not the only one. I haven't felt this happy in a long time," Callie admitted.

"… Me too," Arizona replied hesitantly. "I'm still not sure where my head is at on everything between us, but this feels so right. I'll admit… I love seeing you smile."

Callie's grin was ear-to-ear at this point. "Let's play a game," she said.

"What kind of game?" Arizona asked.

"There are plenty of family classics for later when she's awake, but I was thinking something that could help us catch up. Are you down?" Callie asked.

"Okay. I'm game," Arizona responded.

"Let's take turns asking each other questions. Anything we're curious about. Do you want to start?" Callie asked.

"Sure. Let's start easy. Favorite show right now?" Arizona asked.

"Hmmm probably Scandal. You?"

"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," Arizona responded quickly.

"I love that show. I need to watch the new season. I thought you might like it. When I watched the first season it reminded me of you," Callie said. "Favorite way to spend a Friday night?"

"Curled up with our daughter watching a movie and eating ice cream," Arizona answered.

"Aw sweet. I would say it's a tie between spending time with Sofia and eating a nice meal at the new Italian place close to my house," Callie said.

"I'll have to try that place sometime. It looks amazing, very romantic. How's your relationship with your family lately? Any change?" Arizona asked.

"Not really. My mother hasn't budged. My parents divorce was just recently finalized. I think her continuing lack of interest in Sofia was the final straw for him. I felt bad about it for a long time, like I caused it, but I know better. Aria sent me a letter at the holidays. It said she missed me, but there was no follow-up, so I guess she doesn't miss me that much," Callie said sadly.

"I'm so sorry. My mom still asks about you all the time. She misses you," Arizona said.

"I miss her too… I've been dying to ask you this. How in the world did you become such good friends with Webber?"

"Knowing me, I can see how strange that must seem. It took me by surprise too. At the time, he was missing Catherine and I was stuck in a rut. We ended up going to a trivia night. We had so much fun hanging out and he kind of gave me the little push I needed to put myself out there again. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I hadn't dated since our divorce and it had been maybe two years," Arizona looked down at her lap as she admitted this.

"What?" Callie asked shocked by that disclosure. "I assumed you were just dating discreetly."

"I have been dating a little recently, but it took me awhile to be ready to move on. When I was, I needed a little confidence boost and he was there for me. Now he's one of my very best friends. He's so easy to talk to and sweet and funny. I don't know why it works, but it does," Arizona said.

"I'm glad you have him… Two years? Really?" Callie asked again.

"If I'm being honest, it was a little more than two years," Arizona said. "Next question. Do you still sleep on the same side of the bed?"

"Actually, I sleep on the opposite side now. You?"

"Me too," Arizona said with a small knowing smile.

"Do you ever think about me," Callie paused glancing back to make sure Sofia was still asleep, "you know… when you're alone?"

Arizona blushed instantly at the intimate reference, "Maybe. You?"

"Definitely," Callie said and they started laughing together.

"Do you still want more babies?" Arizona asked.

"Uh that's tough to say. I've always wanted them, but I'm not sure if it's in the cards and I've accepted that. Sofia is pretty incredible and if she's my only child, then I can be content. What about you?" Callie asked very curious about her answer.

"I do. I've been thinking a lot about it recently. I would like to try to carry a baby again if the situation was right before my biological clock runs out. I'd like to have that experience if I can and I know I can handle it better then I did last time. I think I underestimated how fragile I already was at the time," Arizona looked out the window as she spoke.

"I wish I could go back and handle that whole situation differently," Callie said.

"I could say the same thing, but that's in the past. Being Sofia's mom fills me with such joy and purpose. Whether or not I have another baby, that'll still be true," Arizona said.

"Agreed. Could you see yourself getting married again?" Callie asked.

"I think so, again, if the situation was right. I think I have a much better idea of what marriage and being a good partner means now — all the dimensions and complexities. You?"

"Same. There is such an ebb and flow to life. I think there is a tendency as individuals to just wither into your own pain or grief instead of coming together with your partner. It's not something anybody teaches you how to do. There's that saying that people are hardest on the ones they love. I feel like it takes a conscious effort not to do that, but that's what I'd do differently next time," Callie explained.

"You're right about that. I'm really ashamed of how mean I was to you after the crash. I know we're going to start leaving the past in the past, but you should know that," Arizona said.

"You were struggling. I should've been more understanding. You weren't going to get over PTSD overnight. I shouldn't have pushed you so hard to get back to normal. I just missed you. Plus, I was a horny monster there for awhile. I'm embarrassed about that too," Callie concluded.

"I could understand where you were coming from. It was strange for me too. You know I always loved sex. I pretty much always felt comfortable with my body and was ready to roll day or night. Then, overnight, I felt this crippling insecurity and my libido took a huge hit. You were so reassuring, but it took me awhile to feel comfortable. It's one of those things you wish you could just flip a switch and fix, but no matter what you said, I couldn't get it out of my head for so long. I thought if I was weirded out by it how could you not be. And on top of that, we had such an um… adventurous sex life before the crash and I felt like I was starting from scratch. I was way too in my head about being compared to the way things were before the amputation and not being able to satisfy you," Arizona confessed.

"Just so we're clear — when we got back in the groove — I thought we had amazing sex after the amputation. Some of our stand out performances from our whole relationship. I'm not just blowing smoke either. I realized later what I really missed with you during that time was intimacy. When we were struggling, there felt like this huge awkward distance between us. Add in no sex and it was an overwhelming weight on the relationship. I just wish we could've talked honestly like this at the time. I think it would've made a big difference," Callie said.

"You're right. I want to do it differently next time," Arizona admitted.

"Next time?" Callie teased raising her eyebrows a few times in Arizona's direction.

Arizona pushed lightly on Callie's shoulder reciprocating her flirting gesture.

"I forgot whose question it is," Arizona said.

"Hit me with your best shot," Callie replied.

"Aren't you scared? That we could hurt each other again?" Arizona asked.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little afraid, but I know we're different now. We went our separate ways, but the love is still there. After being apart for so long, I think that we can appreciate each other now in a way we didn't before. It'd be amazing for us to grow old and grey and saggy together," Callie teased.

"Speak for yourself. I don't know if I'll ever go grey," Arizona joked with wink.

"I have no doubt you'll the sexiest grandma in town and I want you to be all mine," Callie teased.

"Good lord. Did you have to take it there?" Arizona said holding her free hand to her forehead in embarrassment.

"Hey, grandmas need loving too. Specializing in ortho, I know that better than anybody," she said playfully raising her eyebrows. "What are you scared of?"

"I think during certain points of our relationship, I made bad decisions out of fear. I was afraid to tell you things because I thought you would feel stuck with me or leave me. I don't want to feel that way again. It messed with my head," Arizona explained.

"Give me an example," Callie replied calmly.

"I hate to bring this up again — the miscarriage. I was so afraid to tell you that I wanted to stop trying to have a baby. You kept pushing and when I finally told you, I was sure you'd never look at me the same way again. I know you wanted more babies and I wanted you to be happy, but I was in a deep depression. I wanted to be strong and just push through it, especially because you had to take care of me after the crash, but it wasn't that simple. Honestly, at that point, I thought it was only a matter of time before you left me. I don't want to feel like what we have is conditional that way," Arizona revealed.

"I didn't realize you felt that way. That's fair. I'll admit it. I was selfish after the miscarriage. After everything we'd been through that year, it felt like the hits just kept on coming and I was mad. We finally had something to be excited about, something I wanted so badly for so long, and then that hope was ripped away. Part of me was still so angry about what happened after the crash. On some level, I thought your decision had something to do with you still resenting me over the leg. That's why I checked out," Callie said.

"I can understand that. I checked out too on you. I don't think we actually listened to one another. We were just mad at the world and taking it out on each other. I don't want to ever do that to you again," Arizona promised.

"If we do this again, I promise you I'm in this for good and I'm ready to do the work. No emergency exits needed," Callie said giving the blonde a soft smile. "That was heavy. Let's the lighten mood a bit on the next question."

"When did you know you loved me?" Arizona asked reluctantly.

"When we danced together in my living room on our second date," Callie answered quickly.

Arizona smiled, "That's good to know, but I meant when exactly did you know you wanted to be with me again… recently."

"Ah I always knew I still loved you, even when I was trying really hard not to. I haven't told anybody this, but before I met Penny I was thinking about you again. For the first time in years, it wasn't painful. I was remembering the good times. Even though the bad ones stand out, there were so many more good times in our seven years together. I thought about making a move then, but you seemed so happy. Every time I saw you, you had your real smile back and, after all these years, I know the difference. Since I walked away from our marriage, it didn't seem fair to pull you back in if you'd moved on. Then, I met Penny and convinced myself it was best to see her and not complicate our situation. Fast forward to a couple months ago, there was this moment with Sofia in the car that clenched it for me. I knew I didn't want to get on the plane," Callie recalled.

"What happened?" Arizona asked.

"We were driving away from your house to head to the airport. She asked why I was upset. I told her it was because I loved you and I wasn't sure what to do about it. She said, so nonchalantly by the way, you told her that you loved me too and that when you love someone you want them to be happy. That was it. I wasn't sure how you felt about me up until that point and I think I was hung up on that. That confirmed what I already knew in my heart. You were so selfless in letting me and Sofia go if it meant I'd be happy and that opened my eyes. I knew that while I could be with someone else, I'll never love anyone the way I love you. I chose you," Callie said with tears in her eyes.

Callie's hand was resting on the console and Arizona took her hand, intertwining their fingers.

"One last question and then let's take a break for awhile," Callie said with a smirk. "After that big sexy speech, how badly do you want to make out with me right now?"

Arizona shook her head with a smirk of her own, "So sure of yourself."

"You know you want to," Callie teased pulling their still clasped hands to her mouth to place a soft kiss on the back of Arizona's hand.
