Hi! This is my first attempt at a Calzona fic and its AU (Alternate Universe.) The story takes place about 11 years after the 6th season finale. Arizona and Callie now have kids, and one of their kids, a 16 year old named Aaliyah, is facing difficulties in her personal life when she falls in love with one of her mother's patients. The story is all out of order, so it plunges you directly into the plot, and the catch up happens throughout. The lines are the break in "scenes." I have to apologise upfront, because I attempted researching HIV for one of the characters, and I'm not sure I have everything perfectly correct, but for the sake of enjoying this fic lets pretend I do =] Please critique as cruelly or complimentary as you see fit. Hope you enjoy it =]

Disclaimer thingy: Not sure why or if these are required but here it goes... I don't own squat except the characters that don't appear on the show. oki that should be sufficient :D -thumbs up?-

"Its Nattie... She's bleeding... there- there's a lot of blood. There aren't any lesions. Its from her mouth... No she's not coughing, she's- she's just bleeding. I don't know what to do!... She has cotton in her... it's not helping." Aaliyah Robbins hung up the phone and reached for the roll of paper towels on the counter above her head. "It's okay baby, you're gonna be fine. My mom is coming. She knows what to do. You're fine baby."


"Natalie, do you have any pain anywhere?" Dr. Robbins asked from behind the mask protecting her face. The pretty blonde surgeon nodded as the bloodied teenager motioned to her throat. "Okay, I'm going to need to take a look, Liyah, go wash your hands and get gloves on. This needs to be cleaned up." Arizona grabbed a small light from her coat and cautiously had Natalie open her mouth so she could peek inside. "You've got an open lesion in the back of your throat..." Arizona looked worriedly at her daughter. "We need to get you to the hospital so I can cauterize the wound and get you started on meds."

"She'll be okay thought right? This is just one lesion. She... She's fine right?" Aaliyah's voice was thick with apprehension.


"Okay, I've numbed you with an oral anesthetic, you wont feel a thing." Dr. Robbins beamed a smile at her daughters girlfriend from behind a plastic shield, before she cauterized the wound. "Karen is going to clean you up, and then you can be discharge." With that, the Paeds surgeon left to clean herself up.


Aaliyah was standing at the nurses station when she spotted her mom and she nervously walked up to her, tucking a lock of golden hair behind her ear before asking, "How is she... this.. this isn't "it" is it? This isn't AIDS... Right? She's always so good with her meds and-"

Arizona cut her off, "Liyah, did you kiss her today?" Aaliyah's eyes widened and her brows furrowed as realization hit her..

"Yes... but that was before she was bleeding... and-"

"You need to get tested immediately."

"So it... she's getting worse?" milky tears began to fill in deep blue eyes as the young woman asked the question she feared most.

"No... She's having an episode. This is normal stuff Li."


Aaliyah came back to the Paeds ward after having her blood drawn to find her girlfriend waiting for her in the playroom. She watched as Natalie rolled a ball back and forth with a mop of rusty blonde hair Liyah came to know as Billy.

"Hey Billy!"

"Hi Liyah!" The boy called out to his favorite "Dr."

"I see you met my very special friend, Natalie" She put her hand on Nattie's back and rubbed it tenderly. "You look like you're having fun."

"Yea, lots. Why weren't you here today?" Billy asked the candy-striper.

"Oh, I had school and then Nattie got sick just before I was going to clock in and come bother you." Liyah lead off with a giggle. "I'll be here tonight though, so I'll come read you the rest of that story." She smiled brightly before helping her girl up.

"OK! See ya Li Li" Billy had already turned his attention to another small boy as the girls made their way back to Callie and Arizona's apartment across the street.


Natalie hopped into the shower right away to get as clean as possible. Her clothes were thrown into the hazardous waste bin at the hospital, and she had worn a pair of scrubs back to the apartment. She let the steamy water run over her naked flesh as she lathered up in anti bacterial soap. She made sure to scrub every part of her body, and under her nails. After a bit, she heard the bathroom door open and so she glanced though the glass shower door to see her girlfriend placing a pile of clean clothes onto the sink.

"Baby, are you okay?" Liyah called out over the sound of the running water.

"Yeah... just a bit.. my mouth is numb. Its weird." Natalie retorted in a raspy voice, unusual for the brunette.

"Okay, I've got booty shorts and a cami for you and after much hesitation I decided to allow you to wear panties and a bra too." Before she could reply, Natalie saw the shower door slide open and her girlfriend admire her from just outside.

"Liyah, what are you doing!" Natalie exclaimed, shocked at her girlfriend's utter bad judgment as she stepped under the water, dressed in her own panties and bra.

"I'm not convinced they gave you a proper checkup before you left... I'm just gonna have to re-examine you." Liyah let her hands wander Natalie's wet skin before she was pushed against the cold tiled wall.

"Liyah, get the Hell out! Do you know how dangerous this is! I could get you... sick okay! If you have even the slightest cut Liyah!" Liyah felt rejected but she knew her girl was just looking out for her, so she stayed still and took her in with her eyes only.

"Nattie, baby, I just got really scared tonight... I need to hold you close. The closer the better. I need to feel you to know you're okay." Natalie closed her eyes a minute before looking back into the ocean blue of her girlfriend's eyes.

"Aaliyah, angel... this happens sometimes. Its an annoyance, an embarrassment, and a burden, but it isn't gonna kill me. I'm fine." She paused a moment before continuing her thoughts out loud, "I thought you knew what dating me would entail. Your whole life is about healthcare and becoming a doctor like your parents... I thought you knew what to expect."


Callie walked up to her wife and rubbed her shoulders lovingly, loosening the tension she knew would be there. "They shouldn't be seeing each other." Arizona spoke with a pen pressed against a chart, though she had not been able to focus enough to write anything. "I know we came to terms with it but..." Arizona trailed off. Callie moved her hand to cup her lover's face and turned it to look at her.

"She's fine. The blood work came back negative, and she's stubborn like you Ari. Even if we say no, she wont
listen. And Natalie is really good for her-"

"When she isn't bleeding all over her." Arizona was out of her daze, and her expression was set to a determined stare.

"It scares me too but Liyah is smart. She knows to be cautious. To take precautions. Its not like she can accidentally get HIV from her like she could a stranger..." Arizona softened again before cringing at her next thought.

"You don't think they're having sex do you?"

"She's sixteen, Ari. Weren't you doing the McNasty at sixteen?" Both women followed the voice to none other than Mark Sloan, and they both cringed now.

"Let me talk to her. No one wants to talk to their parents about sex."

"And she'll talk to you, why? You're her uncle. I don't think most kids like talking to their uncles about sex either," Callie stated.

"Because Marc Sloan knows how to make a girl talk." The words came out before he had time to think them over. Both women looked disgusted as he heard what he had said and tried to recover. "No, not that, she's my niece for Christ's sake. I just mean I know how women work. After having four daughters you learn this stuff. Survival of the fittest and all." Arizona looked at her Calliope wearily.

"He better not scar our daughter for life."
