Epilogue – 5 years later
"Dr Sloan, I expected Dr Torres when I paged for Ortho?" Arizona asked as she spied her daughter over the top of the chart she was studying.
"She's in surgery, I may not be the goddess but I am an orthopedic fellow Dr Robbins" Sofia teased. "I can always go and you can wait for Dr Torres if you want!"
"No no, you will do. Casey here is seven years old and fell from a tree, suspected hip dislocation and broken femur" Arizona winked at Sofia before putting on her business face. She adored working with her daughter who had just finished her Ortho fellowship and was awaiting word on whether she had been accepted into the plastics fellowship. Sofia had spent a lot of time too-ing and fro-ing over which specialty to go into when Callie had suggested she follow in Arizona's footsteps and double up.
Dr. Sloan would be the first dual certified in Orthopedics and Plastics and unknown to her, Chief Bailey had big plans for the not so young girl. Surgeries which required two specialty surgeons would easily be compressed into just one, fixing the bones and then flawlessly reducing scarring and the other visual signs of trauma would be her thing and the Chief had big plans for her.
Sofia flicked the x-rays onto the light box and studied them for a few moments. "Your assessment was correct Dr. Robbins, her hips are indeed dislocated and she has a fracture in two places on her right femur. No surgery required so lets get her on some gas so I can get these hips back in place and then we will cast her arm, now Casey… what's your favorite color?"

"Hey birthday girl" Callie grinned as she approached the blonde in canteen queue.
"Shhh… its no big deal!" Arizona chastised as she glanced around her to make sure nobody had heard.
"Sixty is a big deal" Callie giggled.
"Shut up Calliope Iphegenia!" Arizona glared at her girlfriend.
"Oh in that case I will return someone's birthday presents and cancel the surprise party"
"There had better not be a surprise party!" Arizona warned pointedly.
"What if there is a surprise party… you're not gonna cry again are you?" Callie asked teasingly.
"I won't be the one crying if I get home to find a house full of people!"
"OK, ok no surprise birthday party" Callie offered seriously.
"Hey guys" Stacey smiled as she joined the pair in the queue catching the tail end of their conversation "Wait the party is cancelled? But I bought a new dress to wear!" Stacy pouted playfully.
"I'm surrounded by jokers!" Arizona scoffed as she picked up her plate of chips and moved along in the queue, smiling when Callie picked a salad and then instantly stole a chip from the blondes plate.
"Who's joking?" Sofia asked as she pinched a chip as well before pecking Stacy on the cheek.
"Your all funny people. You know I hate surprises so no surprise parties!" Arizona warned seriously.
"Duly noted, no surprise birthday party" Callie winked.
The foursome sat at a large table as they ate their lunches, other doctors coming to join them as they did, each wishing Arizona a happy birthday as they did. Addison and Jo appeared hand in hand, quite the power couple, and joined the group questioning Callie about what time they had to be ready for the surprise party.
"I swear if there is a party… well there's not a lot I can do but I will not be happy!"
"Relax babe, there's no surprise birthday party" Callie scoffed at her girlfriends stroppiness.
-oOo-
"Tonight is going to be awesome!" Sofia grinned as she walked Stacy back to the peds unit. "Mum is totally going to freak when she finds out"
"Callie was starting to look a little unsure of herself"
"That's mom, she will be fine… she always gets nervous when she's planning things for mama" Sofia smirked at the memory of some of the tizzy's her mom had gotten into over the years.
"You reckon Arizona will be upset?" Stacy asked.
"No way" Sofia giggled.
"You heard her, no surprise parties"
"It's not a party it's a gathering of family and friends" Sofia offered with a playful smirk.
"Like that makes a difference" Stacy scoffed.
"Don't say that in front of either of my mothers" the brunette warned and added a playful wink in for the mix.
"Well this is me… I will see you at the thing?" Stacy motioned to the peds doors with her head and a lopsided smile.
"Ill be there, looking for my beautiful date" Sofia flirted as she pecked Stacy's cheek.
"and I will be there waiting for mine" Stacy smiled into the warmth against her face.
"your cute" Sofia smirked as she dabbed Stacy's nose.
"so you keep saying" Stacy sing sang.
"Enjoy your afternoon" Sofia offered one final kiss before pulling away.
"You too" Stacy called to the retreating back as she subtly watched a pert behind walk away.
-oOo-
"Ads… maybe this is a bad idea" Callie chewed on her bottom lip nervously.
"don't be crazy, you have spent months planning this, its going to be epic" Addison giggled as she flicked through the chart in front of her.
"and Arizona hates surprises! What was I thinking" The brunette doubted herself.
"she will love this surprise" Addison raised her eyes from the chart and offered a raised eyebrow in mock of her friends panic.
"what if she doesn't"
"she will" Addison reiterated with a smile.
"it's a surprise, she hates surprises, in what world did I even think this was a good idea!" The brunette gnawed on her bottom lip even harder.
"Well you were pretty drunk when you came up with the idea" The redhead laughed softly.
"Really helpful, thank you so much for your support Addison!" Callie rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Hey! I've helped so much you should be kissing my feet!" Addison laughed.
"You can kiss my ass" Callie scoffed.
"At almost sixty you should have grown up by now!" Addison pointed out.
"How many grey hairs are you hiding under that hair dye red?" Callie asked while making to look at the redheads hair for any stray grey's.
"You can go off people you know!" Addison glared.
"Oh please you've been my best friend for like three decades, by now I could say practically anything I want and get away with it" Callie mocked.
"Kiss my ass Torres!"
"In your dreams Montgomery" Callie winked.
-oOo-
"Wait… no one is here?!" Arizona frowned as she walked into the apartment and switched the light on, turning to Callie in question.
"I told you, no surprise birthday party… I do have gifts though, and we have plans for tonight so after gifts I need you to go and make yourself look even prettier than you already do" Callie cooed as she pecked her girlfriends lips sweetly.
"Ooh, where are we going?" Arizona asked full of interest.
"It's a surprise" Callie smirked, knowing that Arizona would hate that answer.
"But how will I know what to wear?" The blonde inquired with a slight pout.
"Ahh, well if you open this I'm sure that problem will be solved" Callie grinned passing Arizona a thin parcel that had clearly been professionally wrapped. She untied the bow and lifted the lid gasping at the red dress inside, she pulled it out and held it against her body and smiled.
"Baby its gorgeous… I know just which shoes to wear with this!" Arizona cooed.
Callie passed her a second parcel and Arizona knew by it shape and size what it contained, she eyed the brunette suspiciously who just shrugged. She opened the case and pulled out a pair of Jimmy Choo's that would match her dress perfectly.
"Baby… this is way too much" Arizona grinned as she eyed the shoes from different angles.
"Nothing is too much for my girl, anyway you only turn sixty once" Callie smirked.
"Ok last present for just now, I have one more you can have later" Callie passed Arizona a small box which opened to contain a necklace and earring set that would match the outfit perfectly.
"Now go and get ready, I will get ready in the spare room to save time" Callie dashed into the spare room, utilizing the shower off to the side, she curled her hair and put on a cream dress that hugged at her knees. She put on her black louboutins, placed on her jewellery then grabbed her clutch making sure that she had the final gift in the bag. She returned to lounge just in time to find Arizona pouring a glass of wine.
"No time for that, there's wine where we are going, come on princess" Callie winked, admiring how her outfit choice hugged at Arizona's curves.
"Where are we going?" Arizona asked sweetly, batting her eyelashes.
"It's a surprise!" Callie sang.
-oOo-
"Are we ready?" Addison asked Sofia nervously.
"Yep, everything is in place, we have ten minutes before they are due and moms just txt to say they are on their way. This is going to be epic" She couldn't force the grin off of her face.
"Ok everyone, we have ten minutes until the guests of honor arrive, make sure you've gotten your drinks topped up and get ready for the surprise!" Addison yelled to the large mass of people hovering around chatting.
"God you look beautiful in gold" Sofia spun around to find Stacy stood behind her wearing a charming smile and a long black dress.
"You look incredible babe" Sofia pulled Stacy into her and kissed her sweetly.
"Says you" Stacy smiled as she deepened the kiss.
"Oh get a room you too" Addy smirked.
"We would but I doubt we have time" Sofia winked, giggling at Addie's mock horror.
-oOo-
"Calliope, why the hell do I need a blindfold on, what's going on!" Arizona pouted.
"Just trust me will you"
"I told you no surprise party" Arizona began to fret.
"There's no surprise birthday party, I promise you" Callie laughed. "Ok we are here. Just wait a second" Callie held Arizona's hands to her lips and kissed them softly before getting down onto both knees, removing the final parcel from her clutch, she placed it in her fingers the right way up and cleared her throat.
"ok you can take the blindfold off"
"Oh my god Callie, what are you doing" Arizona asked seeing Callie down on her knees.
"You're the love of my life Arizona, getting to love you once was a blessing, getting to love you twice is incredible, so I'm asking you this time… will you be my wife?"
"Oh my god yes! Yes yes yes!" Arizona dove to her knees and embraced Callie. She pulled back as she felt Callie clutching her left hand and watched as Callie slid the engagement ring onto her finger.
"We're getting married" Arizona beamed.
"We are" Callie grinned.
"Oh we should get Bailey to marry us again"
"Whoa there, there's more to the surprise, do you not realize where we are?" Arizona glanced around her at all the twinkling lights hanging from tree's, there was a small alter edged by several dozen chairs. It was the venue of their first wedding, reenacted almost to the smallest detail apart from it being night.
"Why are we here?"
"SURPRISE"
"No! you promised!" Arizona pouted playfully.
"No I promised you no birthday party, I didn't promise anything about a wedding party" Callie cooed.
"You mean we are doing this now?" Arizona gasped.
"If that's ok with you?" Callie asked a little unsuredly.
"Your amazing" Arizona grinned, pecking Callie softly on the lips.
"I know… so I had to pick your maid of honor for you I assume Apes is ok" Callie smirked knowingly.
"Of course… wait you all knew about this!" Arizona mock glared at the redhead.
"For months, you have no idea how hard it was to keep a secret from you" April grinned.
-oOo-
"ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce for their first dance, Mrs and Mrs Robbins – Torres" Sofia grinned as she charged her glass and the mass of friends, family and colleagues charged theirs too.
Callie and Arizona entered the dancefloor as Shania Twain's 'still the one' began to play, Callie spun Arizona under her arm, beaming at the delighted giggle that erupted from her pink lips. She pulled her in close and inhaled deeply.
"Looks like we made it" Callie smirked as she sung quietly into Arizona's ear.
"Look how far we've come now baby, we might have took the long way, I knew we'd get here some day" Arizona sung back just as softy, reminding Callie just how sweet the blonde could sing.
"They said, I bet, they'll never make but just look at us holding on, were still together still going strong, your still the one" Callie cooed.
"Your still the one I run to, the one that I belong to, your still the one I kiss goodnight" Arizona leaned in and kissed her bride affectionately.
-oOo-
"Oh god they are so cute together" Jo grinned as she squeezed Addies fingers in her own.
"Don't even think about it Wilson" Addie winked at her girlfriend playfiully.
"Oh come on Aunty Addie, make an honest woman of her already"
"you mind your own business little Sloan, when are you and Stacy going to tie the knot"
"One wedding at a time my friend" Stacy grinned knowingly, the ring hidden in her jewelery box burning a hole as she awaited the right time to ask.
"Ditto" Addie smirked. "Aww look at them, they are so cute…"
"I reckon that will be us when we're in our sixties" Sofia cooed as she pecked Stacys lips sweetly.
"and in our eighties" Stacy winked.
Finally the song changed and Arizona and Callie motioned for the others to join the dancing as 'Moves like Jagger' begun to play. Addie grabbed Jo's hand, spinning her fancily under her arm as she led her into the floor. Stacey and Sofia grabbed hands and danced their way to the newly weds. Alex and Meredith soon joined. Bailey and Ben, Maggie escorted her father onto the dancefloor, Webber now in his mid eighties was a little doddery on his feet but he still managed to bust a move. Zola brought her boyfriend, Ellis her boyfriend. They all danced in a giant circle, mingling together.
