Later that night, Callie sat up in bed, her back resting on pillows stacked against the headboard in the guest bedroom of the Robbins' home. Arizona smirked when she entered from the bathroom, amused by the look of concentration on her wife's face as she typed furiously against the keys of her laptop, bright white teeth gnawing at her bottom lip.

Arizona sighed as she settled her weary body under the covers, the side of her arm brushing against the outside of Callie's pajama clad thigh. "Sorry," Callie said absentmindedly. "I'll turn off the light in just a minute. I'm trying to find the recipe for the stuffing your dad liked last year. I thought I got it from the Food Network website, but I can't remember which chef it was from."

Arizona stared at the ceiling, scrunching her face as she tried to remember. "I think we saw it on Paula Deen, but you thought it would be too heavy, so you substituted some ingredients from a Rachel Ray recipe."

"Oh, God. You're right," Callie exclaimed, quickly looking toward the pack-and-play where Sofia lay sleeping. Certain her outcry hadn't awakened the sleeping toddler, she turned back toward the computer. "Shit," she hissed. "I'll never be able to duplicate that."

Arizona chuckled. "It'll be fine, Callie. My dad will never know the difference."

Callie wasn't convinced and went about searching the internet until she was sure she had found the two recipes she had combined. Happily bookmarking the pages, she closed her laptop before setting it aside and sliding down under the covers to lie next to her wife.

So, you might as well go ahead and tell me," Arizona stated matter-of-factly.

Callie's eyes shifted toward Arizona. "We weren't really talking about you," Callie hesitantly replied.

"Spill, Calliope."

Callie sighed as she turned onto her side, leaning up on her elbow to look down at the wife. "She's just worried about you, that's all," Callie replied when she met her wife's knowing gaze. Realizing from the look in Arizona's eyes that she couldn't get away with supplying such little information, Callie sighed. "She said you don't call as much anymore, and when you do, sometimes you seem happy, but other times, not so much. She wanted to know how we are doing, and I just told her that we are doing better, but that you had been kind of. . .pensive for the past couple of days, and I wasn't sure why."

Arizona rolled onto her side to face her wife. Propping herself up to her level, Arizona reached her other hand out to stroke the side of Callie's face. "It's not you," she admitted after a while. "I promise, Callie. It's just. . ."

Callie watched Arizona's face fall, her eyes locking onto the striped design on the sheet beneath them. "Talk to me, sweetie," Callie softly urged as
