Ahh… Quiet Saturday evening… Even downpour outside can’t change my good mood. I guess I can sneak a couple of minutes to write some thoughts while Arizona rocking Amy to sleep. I can hear quiet singing from nursery. Quiet, but sooo off key. But for some strange reason it lulls our daughter to sleep perfectly! Not stories, not songs from CD’s, not whispering, only Arizona’s singing. Oh, well… whatever works… Amy just doesn’t know what is like to hear drunken Arizona singing karaoke. I’m just sooo glad that my wife don’t remember her “outstanding” performance! But I’m an evil woman ‘cause I have a good blackmail pictures just in case…
Ok. I need to stop distracting myself.
“So the of my graduation became our anniversary. First kiss, first “I love you’s”. And in couple of years this day would hold another meaning.
After my graduation we packed our things and just moved to Seattle. When I saw our new apartment for the first time my jaw actually hit the floor. It was not far from hospital, 2 bedrooms, little office and big, big kitchen! I was already imagining all recipes I could try!
At first Arizona didn’t want to tell me how she could buy flat. But after a little maneuvering from my part she surrender and told me that apart from Arizona’s savings our parents helped to make our wish come true. Sneaky, sneaky people…
But finally we could start our life together. One of the greatest chapters of my life.
At the beginning it was hard. One of the best teaching hospitals and one of the most demanding. I was exhausted half of the time! Thank God for Arizona. She fed me, reminded me when to sleep, and was making our apartment actually a place we could call ‘home’.
From the start I was leaning toward ortho. When I got my first solo surgery I was ecstatic! Some people thought I was high. But I didn’t care. I walked in the OR and rocked this surgery! All the time during procedure I felt Arizona’s eyes on me form the gallery. When I took scalpel in my hand before opening a patient I looked at her and saw nothing but strong confidence and warm smile. She was and is my rock, my good man in a storm. So after the surgery I found a note in my locker.
Tonight we’re celebrating.
Waiting you at home.
Love u
Let’s just say after my shift ended I rushed home like my heels were on fire! Arizona waited for me with a romantic dinner and a bottle of wine. It took us one hour to eat and almost all night to celebrate. It was heaven!
After first surgery was second, then third… We worked really hard to become the best in our fields. It was long road. And after five years Arizona became an Attending, and I became a chief resident. It was a really great achievement in rather short period of time. So when I was sure that we were stable financially, I decided to make a very big step. Even huge step! I decided to propose to Arizona.
It took me a couple of months of planning. Finally I found the perfect ring. Simple platinum ring with a little sapphire and ruby. Sapphire as symbol of loyalty (also it was the same color as Arizona’s eyes) and rube as symbol of passionate and strong love (my favorite stone). Beautiful ornament which represented eternity entwined two stones. It was just the right ring.
So I wanted to do this perfectly. I chose a date. I thought that our anniversary would be ideal. I picked an outfit. I really wanted to propose to her in quiet and comfortable atmosphere. That day she was giving presentation at hospital, so I had a lot of time. I cooked the most romantic dinner, decorated living room with Arizona’s favorite flowers, picked a CD with ‘our’ songs, lit the candles and waited for her.
And even if I knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me, I was a nervous wreck! When I heard keys turning in the lock I almost passed out! So Arizona opened the door, not noticing anything around her because she was searching something in her purse. Finally she raises her head and froze…”
Suddenly our house was plunged in darkness.
“Crap! What the hell?” I looked out of the window and saw raging storm. Guess no more writing for today. And bless my geeky self for turning on an autosaving on computer.
Amy is sound asleep now. So it leaves me and my beautiful wife in dark house. I guess I have an idea how to pass away the time. Oh, hello naughty thoughts! Now I only need to find a certain blue-eyed blonde.
“Calliope, could you find a flashlight? I’m in the bedroom.” Hm, perfect choice of location.
“On my way!” To hell with the flashlight! Bedroom is closer…
“Hey, where is flashlight?”
“We don’t need it. I know a perfect way to pass our time…” Oh, she knows. Her eyes instantly darkened.
She gonna kiss me… Why I’m so lightheaded? And why is she smirking?
“Oh, let me guess… We’re gonna knit?”
