"Did you see my wife?" Callie looked down at Bailey who was sitting at a desk and looking at some charts.

"No," Bailey just answered without looking up.

So Callie continued looking for her. She was worried that something had happened to Arizona and desperately needed a kiss. "Where the hell are you?" She watched outside and could see that the storm had finally arrived. Definitely a heavy storm and she knew that Arizona wasn't actually fond of such weather. With a smile on her face she kept looking for the love of her life and thought about an incident that happened years ago.

Callie was exhausted. A 24 hour shift wasn't actually something that she enjoyed. Honestly, she hated them. All she could think about while operating on one patient after another was her beautiful girlfriend. They had planned to eat dinner together, watch a movie and then just cuddle but here she was, sitting in her car at 3 am and driving home while it rained like hell. And of course she didn't have an umbrella and ended up being soaked from head to toe when she entered the apartment. Carefully she closed the door soundless and tiptoed into the bedroom. She expected Arizona to be sleeping like a stone but instead Arizona was sitting nervously on top of the bed and watched outside the window while it looked like she would cuddle Callie's pillow to death. Arizona didn't even realize that Callie was home now.

"Hey babe," Callie whispered but shrieked when Arizona started screaming which ended in seeing her girlfriend falling down the bed. "Oh shit, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Callie answered with an apologetic look but couldn't help but smirk a little when Arizona looked up at her with the cutest pout she had ever seen. "Are you okay?" Callie didn't expect Arizona to jump up that fast and hug her tightly. "Are you all right, Arizona?"

Arizona was almost on top of Callie and snuggled deeper into Callie's embrace. She didn't even care that Callie was soaked from the weather. "Yes," Arizona whispered while she closed her eyes and hoped her heart would stop beating that fast.

"Are you sure? You look a little pale," Callie put her hands around Arizona's face and kissed her softly on the mouth.

"Yes, now that you're here everything is great," Arizona smiled and took a deep breath. She hated to admit that she was not okay. She hated storms and thunders, they just made her feel uncomfortable and scared.

"Okay, I think I have to shower warm now or I'll catch a cold," Callie kissed her again and walked to the bathroom. She turned around stunned when Arizona had followed her like a puppy. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, I just…um…missed you," Arizona lied a little and leaned back at the wall.

Callie looked suspicious at her and nodded, "Well, I missed you too, honey. I'll be fast and then we can cuddle a bit, huh?"

Arizona smirked and nodded but didn't go back to the bedroom, instead it seemed like she was glued to the bathroom walls.

"Do you want to shower with me?" Callie then asked and didn't understand Arizona's weird behavior. Sometimes Arizona could really surprise her with her behavior. She act like an adult and be focused for a long while but on the other hand there were times that Arizona looked and behaved like a kid, even saying the words "awesome" and "yay" way too often. But Callie loved their differences.

"Okay," Arizona said in a cute voice. She couldn't even focus on her wife's great body while she heard the storm outside. Nevertheless she went inside the shower and put soap into her hands to massage it onto Callie's body, something that she loved doing. She loved every curve on the Latina's body.
"God, that feels great," Callie moaned when Arizona finally put shampoo into her hair and massaged it as well but suddenly Arizona stiffened up as a loud thunder was heard. With a small shriek Arizona jumped forward and hugged Callie tightly as she closed her eyes. Suddenly it hit Callie and she couldn't hide her huge smile as Arizona clung to her like a scared child. She turned around and lifted Arizona's chin so that the pediatric surgeon had to look at her.

"Are you afraid of thunderstorms?" Callie already knew the answer but she also knew that her cute girlfriend would never admit that.

"Me? Nooooo! Callie, please, I'm not afraid of thunderstorms," Arizona always was a bad liar and blushed a bit.

"Are you sure?" Callie smirked and kissed Arizona's nose softly.

"Calliope, I would know if I was….aaaaaaa," Arizona screamed loudly and jumped up as another thunder was heard. Unfortunately she slipped and crashed down to the floor, hitting her head not really softly. "Owww."

Callie couldn't help but burst out into laughing. Seeing her naked and scared girlfriend on the floor of the shower was just hilarious and when she saw another pout on Arizona's face, she laughed even louder.

"Stop laughing at me," Arizona whined and took Callie's hand to stand up.

"You know that you're too cute to be true, right?" Callie hugged her tightly with a smile but her smile faded when she saw the blood on Arizona's shoulders. "Shit," she looked at Arizona's head and could immediately tell that her girlfriend needed stitches. "We have to get you to the hospital."

"What? That's just a little blood," Arizona said and touched the wound but winced in pain and was stunned to see that there was really a bit too much blood on her hands now.

Both of them went out of the shower and Callie immediately put a bandage around Arizona's head and then both of them got dressed. She didn't want to panic but seeing loved ones hurt was always not easy for Callie.

"Callie, I'm not going to die. It's just a little blood. I don't even need to go to the hospital. I don't need stitches." Arizona tried to protest and held her head in pain as Callie put on her shoes but Arizona took them off again.

"Arizona! I'm 100% sure that you need stitches, so stop arguing with me."

"I am a doctor and I know when…"

"I am one too and…"

"But Calliope, can't we just…" Arizona didn't finish her sentence but jumped into Callie's arms as another thunder hit the city.

"It's just a thunder," Callie caressed Arizona's shivering back.

"But what if we get hit by a tree or a car rams into us and we die in the rain and…" Arizona rambled and could feel the tears rushing into her eyes.

"Hey, hey, look at me. Nothing is going to happen to you and…"

"But…"

"Arizona, it isn't even a big thunderstorm. Nothing is going to happen, okay?" Callie held tightly to her scared girlfriend and helped her up.

"How did you hit your head like this?" Alex asked Arizona who was stitching the wound.

"I just fell," Arizona blushed and held Callie's hands tightly.

"Okay, as good as new, boss," Alex told Arizona who nodded and suddenly fell into Callie's arms crying hard. Alex looked shocked at Callie who just gave him a sign to leave them alone. Callie had no clue why Arizona was acting like this. Sure, she had a head wound and was afraid of thunders but that didn't explain why she was now crying heavily in her arms. After a while Arizona started talking, "When I was five I ran away from home."

"What?" Callie asked unsure what Arizona talked about.

"I ran away because I wanted a dog but mom and dad told me that I'd be too young, so I decided to just run to my aunt because I was really, really mad at them," Arizona wiped her tears and definitely didn't look like a grown woman now.

"Okay," Callie smiled softly and gave Arizona a glass of water when her hiccups started.

"I…my aunt didn't live that far away but I had to climb over a fence to get to her but…um…I slipped and somehow got caught in the fence. And…it was raining real hard and there were loud thunders and mean looking trees."

"Mean looking trees?" Callie asked softly.

"I was five, okay!" Arizona snapped a bit and pouted. "Well and nobody found me for hours and I couldn't get off that stupid fence."

"Oh shit," Callie answered worried imagining such a small girl outside alone. "So that's why you're scared of thunders?"

"I guess and I just had a really bad day today. We have so many new sick children." Arizona leaned into Callie's embrace and closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, honey. But now I just have to protect you, huh?" Callie smiled and kissed Arizona bandaged head. "Let's go home."

Back at home Callie looked down at her sleeping girlfriend that was lying totally exhausted in her arms. After realizing that Arizona really woke up by every thunder, she had turned on classical music, which obviously worked like magic because now Arizona was sleeping like a stone. "I love you!" Callie whispered and kissed her girlfriend's nose. This was the woman she wanted to spend her future with. Forever. "I love you too," Arizona mumbled and cuddled closer to Callie. Their bodies just matched perfectly.

Callie was definitely frustrated. Where was her wife? When she opened the next door from an on-call room, she immediately knew that the one sobbing under a blanket was her wife. Callie wanted to turn on the lights but obviously that didn't work, so she closed the door and walked over to Arizona. "Don't panic, it's just me, sweetie." But it was Callie who shrieked when Arizona pushed her away.

"No, don't touch me. Don't touch me." Arizona was sobbing uncontrollably and jumped away from her wife.

"What…what is wrong, Arizona? What happened?" Callie asked softly and wanted to touch Arizona again who just went a step backwards.

"I don't…I don't deserve you," Arizona said through her sobs.

"What?" Callie asked totally confused.

"You are…you are…the most amazing woman I've ever seen. You are…you are so beautiful and lovely and I love you so much. You are…oh god, Callie…I...I…I am not…I don't deserve you," Arizona couldn't continue talking when a thunder was heard and she screamed. "No, don't touch me, Calliope!" But Callie didn't listen to Arizona's protests and pulled her onto her lap and held her tightly as her wife shivered and cried.

"Don't Calliope. I…"

"Arizona, I am here for you. No matter what. And you don't decide if you deserve me or not but I do and I love you, you are my wife," Callie took a pause and then continued," What happened, honey? Is it your leg? The thunder? Please just talk to me. I want to help you and I'm there for you but you need to talk to me."

"I…I…cheated on you, Callie!" Arizona jumped up and practically screamed at her wife although she was angry with herself and not with Callie, "I am a cheater, Callie. After everything we went through and after I told you that you must not run and after I was horrible to you and…I cheated on you with…Lauren…I…I…I'm so sorry!" Arizona ran as fast as she could with her prosthesis out of the room.
