《Callie and Arizona, simple love story.》Heaven was needing a hero

*4 months later**
Arizona POV;
It's been 4 months since I've started counseling. Things are going so much better. I'm doing better, Calliope is doing better. Our relationship is going better. Everything is getting better. I'm not magically cured of all my depression, but I never will be. That's going be a part of me for a very long time, but I see a therapist, and Calliope is there whenever I need her which is helping so much. In the beginning, I remember thinking that if Callie found out I had depression she'd leave, but she didn't. She didn't even hesitate to tell me she loved me and was there and she cared. I still don't know how I got so lucky with Callie. I really don't. I never ever imagined I would get to marry such a kind, caring, loving, compassionate, stunning and so many other things like Calliope.
Callie POV;
It's been a couple of months since Arizona started therapy and things are getting so much better. Arizona is getting better. I'm doing better. I've been back at work for these past couple months. I'm not afraid to leave Arizona by herself anymore. Our relationship is doing so much better. Just everything is better. Arizona still has depression, but I have a feeling she will have that for a long time. 4months of therapy isn't going to magically cure her of it, but its helping and that's what matters. She's getting the help she needs, she doesn't have to hold it in anymore. She has a therapist and she has me. I'm not going anywhere. I'm always here for her and I always will be. I love Arizona more than anything in this world. I got lucky with Arizona.
Calliope POV;
I'm at work when my phone rings. My phone never rings when I'm at work so I immediately get an unsettling feeling. I look to see who's calling and it says 'mama'
'why is my mom calling me' I think to myself as I click to answer.
"Calliope" my mom's voice is shaky on the other end. It sounds like she's been crying. "calliope, something happened to your father you need to come down here as soon as you can"
My parents are older, it could be anything. He could have fallen off the roof while doing work, he could have had a heart attack, it could literally be anything.
"mom, what happened?" I ask my voice beginning to shake thinking of all the possibilities
"your father had a heart attack" I can now hear her cries over the phone. "just get here as soon as you can"
We hang up and I go to find my boss, on my way to her office it hits me that this could be the last time I see my dad. He might not survive this heart attack. Like I said he is on the older side, I mean I am almost 35 which means he is 60. He was healthy the last time I saw him and this just isn't making any sense. I get to my bosses office, and open the door with tears running down my face

"chief, my dad had a heart attack, I need to go".
She gets up and gives me a hug and says
"go be with your family, you know how these can turn out"
That makes me cry more as I break the hug and faintly try to smile. I get in the car and call Arizona.
"Calliope? Why are you calling me? Aren't you at work? What happened?"
After she asks me 30 questions I answer without trying to give away the fact that I've been crying.
"My dad had a heart attack" is the simple answer I can manage to get out.
"Oh my love" is all Arizona says. I can hear the break in her voice as she says "I love you"
"I'm on my way home. I have to meet my mom at the hospital and figure out whats going on and all that"
"I'm coming with you" Arizona insists.
"you don't have to love"
"no, you're dad had a heart attack, our dad now actually since we are married, our dad had a heart attack and you need someone there with you. I'm going with you"
All I can manage to get out is an "I love you" as I hang up and drive home.
My dad and I have been through a lot together. As a kid, I was always close with him, and then I came out when I was around 15 or 16 and that's when things took a turn. We started to drift apart, he didn't get it or he just didn't accept it, or both I never really knew. We spent a lot of years not talking because he didn't accept me being gay. Then I met Arizona, and he met her and I think when he met her he finally realized that this wasn't a phase. It wasn't be going through something. Its who I am and who I will always be and Arizona was the woman who completed me and she was the woman I knew I was going to be with forever and we started becoming close again. But this could be it. This heart attack could kill my father and I don't know I'm ready for that or not.
Arizona POV;
Callie called me and told me her dad, or our dad now actually had a heart attack and we need to get to the hospital as soon as we can. I just met Callie's dad, and he seemed nice. He gave me that beautiful ring to propose to Calliope with, but I know her relationship with him hasn't always been the greatest. They've been through a lot together and I know they just recently started getting close again.
The door opens and its Callie, tears streaming down her face, she drops her bag on the floor and comes over to me, and pretty much collapses into me.

"I don't think he's going to survive this Arizona. He's 60, he's had heart problems his whole life. There's like a 10% chance he's going to make it. I'm a doctor Arizona I know how this stuff works and I don't know if I'm ready to see my father for the last time today"
I grab her face and make her look at me
"Hey, don't think like that. You can not be thinking like that. You have to find something positive in this situation, and I know that's going to be hard, but you have to do it, Callie. You can not just keep focusing on the negatives in this situation"
She gives me a kiss as she says
"I'll try. I love you"
We gather some bags with clothes in it in case we end up being there a few days and we get ready to go. I drive because Calliope isn't in a good state of mind to drive and I don't need to get in another car crash, so I drive. Calliope is so quiet the whole ride there and it's sad. It breaks my heart to see her like this.
We get to the hospital and walk in to find all of Calliopes family from her dad's side, her sisters are there. Everyone from his side is there and she immediately knows what that means. She has been on and off crying the whole car ride, but when she sees everyone gathered in the lobby of the hospital she loses it. I hold her as she sobs into my shoulder.
Calliope POV;
We finally get to the hospital after about an hour and a half of driving. We walked into the hospital and I see my whole family from my dad's side there, my sisters are there. Everyone is gathered in the lobby and I immediately know what that means. I've been on and off crying the whole trip here knowing that this could be the last time I see him. When I walked into the hospital and saw everybody gathered around I completely lost it. Arizona held me as I sobbed.
My mom came up to me, grabbed my hands and said with tears rolling down her face
"dad is gone"
That hit me like a truck. I didn't even get to say goodbye. I didn't even get to tell him I loved him. I didn't get to hug him or kiss him one last time.
"he is still in the room if you and Arizona would like to go say goodbye to him. I told the nurse to wait until you got here so you could say your last goodbyes" She faintly smiled as she hugged me.
Arizona and I walked into the room where my dad's lifeless body laid. That is when Arizona lost it. She broke down into tears and fell into my arms as she said
"he's really gone. Calliope, this is the last time we are ever going to see your dad"
I nodded as tears streamed down my face.
Arizona got up and said
"I'm going to leave you alone with him for a while. You need some alone time with him, honey"
Arizona walked out and shut the door behind her as I grabbed my dads hand.
"daddy, this is really it isn't it? This is really the last time I'm ever going to talk to you. I can't believe this really is it. I don't even know where to start dad. We've been through so much together. We've had some bumps in the road but I think every relationship has bumps in the road. We just had a few more than others. Daddy, you helped me become the person I am today, and I wouldn't be where I am without you. I wouldn't be who I am without you. You didn't always agree with my choices in life, but you never once gave up on me. You never stopped loving me. You never stopped caring for me. You never stopped believing in me, and you learned to love the person I was. You never once tried to change me or stop me from loving who I wanted to love, you may not have agreed with it, but you never tried to stop me or change me and that all meant more to me that you will ever know. I really can't believe this is it, daddy. Watch over me daddy, keep me safe, be with me in spirit. I don't know how I'm going to be able to live without you. I'm going to try my hardest but I don't know if I can do this without you. I appreciate you and all you did for me. I'll always be your little girl daddy. I love you, forever and always. I can't believe this is the last time I will ever be talking to you dad, I guess heaven was needing a hero. I hope heaven knows how lucky it is to have you apart of it now. "
