A/N This story was my first dabble into writing anything down never mind letting anyone see them. I have to thank JCap for encouraging me to go through with it. The story may not be everyone's taste and yes I admit it's insane, but it will always have a spot in my heart as it was the beginning of my addiction. I have tried to fix as much of it as I can myself, the first few chapters where never beta'd until JCap agreed to do it for me, I will always be grateful for that Toodles!
Please be aware that there are CHARACTER DEATHS in this and has violent tendencies but it is a dark comedy. I don't mean to offend anyone's beliefs this was written as homage to my love of ghost stories and I get to use my favourite characters. If you read I do hope you enjoy, thank you for your time. In line with time it was written around the begining of season 7 so everything as is the same except the car crash that was Africa...that never happened :)
Chapter 1 "I see a bad moon arising, I see trouble on the way"
Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising
"Mark. MARK come on bud we need …" giggling at the drunken floppy frame of her best friend, Callie couldn't help but shake her head and roll her eyes towards Joe the bartender.
"Thanks for calling me Joe; I've just finished my shift so if I'd made it home, he was screwed!"
Grateful that she had her car at work today, she looked back towards Mark who now had his forehead flat on the bar, shot glass still in hand.
"I've got the car out front so let's get this drunken ass SOB out of your fine establishment." Callie smiled kindly at Joe, he just smiled back wished her luck and gave a small chuckle as he threw his dish cloth over his shoulder. The amount of times she and Mark had carried each other home from Joe's, he'd lost count.
"Suck it up, old man let's get you home!" Callie hated seeing Mark like this, this was not his best side …although very funny when you weren't the one trying to deal with it or had that amount of alcohol in your system too. Taking another glance at his she came to the conclusion Mark must have seriously pissed off Lexie, yet again. She was always the reason he ever got in this mess.
"You know the only reason I do this is I'm your person work wife thingy, ok not at work beside the point. You know you're just like my pervy older brother that I need to look after" Mark's head shot up at Callie's revelation
"ttttTorres, Hhow dare you! I'm the best, the best you've had and you know it! Don't say brother cause that's wrong, wrong in soooo many dirty DIRTY ways, errgh!" slurring shaking his head as he makes his point.
"MARK! Not that I want to state the obvious, in your delicate state but YOU…" Callie lifted her hand and jiggled it in front of his face "LAST. MAN. I'VE SLEPT WITH." She slowly punctuated each word to prove a point.
"I now bat for the other team as you so elegantly put it! What does that say about you, ma friend?" Mark raised a finger and opened his mouth in reply to Callie's increased tone.
"I'm theee Bessst FUCHiccup you've ever had…I floated your boat, knocked your socks off… POUNDED your…" Luckily for Mark, Callie's attention was taken by the familiar tones of her girlfriends laugh. Luckily for Mark, as the obscenity that continued to flow from the slurring mans mouth. It would have only ended with a punch to the shoulder, which wouldn't have done anything other than sting a sober Mark but insanely drunk Mark would only have resulted with him in a puddle on the floor.
Arizona, Teddy and Cristina bounded through the door deep in conversation. They were in hysterics over the image of Bailey who had freaked out earlier. She had reacted to a spider that had managed to lower its self-down into her line of sight. This was while she was explaining a procedure to a 5 year old girl's parents for a surgery that they were all in on.
"Get it get it getttt iiittt" Cristina flailed as she proceeded to repeat Bailey's earlier actions. Yet again all three surgeons erupted into laughter as they continued over toward the empty booth in the corner.
Arizona didn't know how but she felt the warmth from her girlfriend's eyes and looked over with a full dimpled smile when she saw Callie smiling back. It had always amazed her that she could always sense when Callie watched her, not in a creepy way it was a look that just radiated love.
"Let's go party boy, bring your drink!" Not really waiting for Mark, Callie dragged him over with her to the three other women.
"Calliope, I thought you were going home?" Arizona smiled from ear to ear as she asked "You did get my texts that we were coming here didn't you? Oh god… after you said you were going home I thought you'd might want to come and meet us instead…" Arizona couldn't stop the words, even if Callie had wanted to say something she would have to wait.
Callie knew that there was no point stopping her girlfriend mid ramble, so she just smiled and made eye contact with Teddy whose brow immediately scrunched and mouth opened so wide that Callie was sure she could catch flies. Christina watched the interaction, rolled her eyes and walked off towards the bar less than amused.
"But… because I never heard anything I just took it you were going back to the apartment, and you're here… with Mark!" Arizona's face changed quickly to a questioning look with a small flash of jealousy. Green was not a good colour on the Blonde.
"Ok, firstly breathe sweetie! Secondly, I was called by Joe to pick up Mr Soft here…"
Mark cut Callie off as he heard this as a dig to his manhood "Hmmm Torres Mr Soft I am NOT! Mr Fun Time cause I'm THAT good with this thing." Mark pointed at his crotch as he nodded his head in agreement with himself. "And you two know what I'm talking about..." Mark winked at Teddy and then cockily smiled at Arizona.
"You don't know what you're missing Blondie I could make you screHiccup..." Arizona screwed her eyes shut and shook her head furiously trying to remove that image from her head.
Before Mark talked himself into the verbal bashing from the very creeped out blonde, a voice was heard from across the bar.
"Hey, Callie could you PLEASEEE!"
As the women turned around toward Joe's voice they quickly spotted a very intoxicated Christina Yang. She was sat on top of the bar trying to snake her arms around Joe to the awaiting bottle of Tequila.
"WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?" Teddy exclaimed when she caught sight of an intoxicated Cristina Yang.
Callie let out a throaty laugh and went over, grabbed the smaller woman and pulled her over her shoulder. It had been a fireman lift, but Callie didn't get the resistance or reaction she thought she would from Cristina until she realised that Cristina had managed to get what she had wanted.
"Put it on my TAB Joe!" Christina shouted as she held the bottle above her head in celebration.
Walking back to the table Callie grabbed Marks ear "Wooow! Torres if your horny you shouldn't go all cave man, I'm quite sure Yang doesn't like girl on girl like I dooo! Hey BLONDIE when am I gonna get a show…" Callie cut him off mid-sentence and yanked his ear harder, she didn't worry if she pulled it off, surely he could fix it himself, as she giggled internally she turned to the remainder of the table.
"Looks though I'm the responsible adult tonight, I'm gonna get these two back to the apartment baby. Have fun and I'll see you later, look after her Teddy. Goodnight." With that Callie winked and gave her girlfriend a kiss on the cheek.
With Christina still over Callie's shoulder and with Mark dragged from the pub all that was heard was the shout of "YeeeeeeHawww!" from Cristina as she kicked her feet into Callie's ass.
Shaking her head at the sight of the three friends leaving together, Arizona turned to Teddy and with a nod of her head towards Joe" I need a drink"
Teddy walked to the bar she replied "Hmm Me too!".
Outside, Callie felt like she was playing the real life version of Tetris trying to get two people into a car that seemed to have lost all sensible motor function. Finally climbing into the driver's side she let out a sigh, as she thumped her head down on the steering wheel in exhaustion.
Cristina who now lay l flat across the back seats as she bobbed her head in time to the music rattling about her drunken brain. "I'm trouble, Yeah trouble now, I'm trouble ya'll, I disturb my town. I'm trouble, Yeah trouble now, I'm trouble ya'll. I got trouble in my town…"
"Yang! Zip it!" Looking back toward the very irritating smaller woman Callie shook her head.
Mark, who had sat quietly for once, sat in the passenger seat fiddling with a bit of thread on his sleeve, his tongue sticking out deep in concentration.
"Put your seatbelts on." after hearing the mumbled response that was grumbled from both parties Callie received the engine before moving off.
As she drove along Callie decided she was going to ask the question she had been avoiding, "Ok, spill it Mark! What did you do?" Mark also tried to avoid this conversation completely and since he had the maturity of a child he started to press random buttons on the dash. When he was rewarded by a slap from Callie he held his hands up in surrender. When Callie returned her hand to the steering wheel he stuck out his tongue towards the Brunette.
"CHILD!" Callie breathed out as she rolled her eyes unamused as gruff snores rang loud from behind them.
Callie quickly turned with an arched eyebrow before she turned her eyes back to the road. Silently she told Mark to fess up; a couple more minutes and they'd be back at the apartment block and Callie didn't want to drag this out any longer than it needed to be.
Mark still fidgeting quickly pressed the lighter and giggled as it popped out, as he continued to play around with it he sighed as he readied himself to tell his best friend what he'd done this time.
"You know the hot hot hottie nurse on Blondie's Peds service, I kind of flirted with her right in front of Lexie, god Cal you know how hard it is for me to turn off the charm" smiling smugly to himself "Lexie told me to fuck off, that she was done watching me perv, I wasn't perving, I was appreciating" with a nod of his head he agreed with himself.
With the movement of his drunk body Mark managed to loose grip of the hot lighter and dropped it into Callie's lap. "Fuck, sorry Cal"
Callie panicked and took her eyes off the road for seconds but veered onto oncoming traffic. Callie looked up just in time to see the vehicle and he body instinctually braced itself for the collision. Moments later she felt herself being thrown forward until the seatbelt locked which whipped her back until she felt something solid hit her from behind. Through the noise of broken glass and the noise that rang in her ears, she felt woozy until all that was left was darkness.
As she stirred from unconsciousness, her eyes flickered. Callie could feel that very familiar feeling of butterfly kisses around her collarbone to her pulse point, as it continued down to the top of her breast and stopped at the fabric of her night dress.
"Mmmmm, baby you know how much I love it when you wake me like this" as the kissing stopped she opened up her eyes to the smiling blue ones that hovered above her.
Arizona closed the gap, she took Callie's lips into a gentle kiss, as she repositioned, she knelt at Callie's side.
They had done this dance so many times that it was second nature. They knew all the moves hell they had practiced enough. Even still something about this seemed really familiar to Callie.
She pushed that thought to the back of her mind, hell she didn't care. She had Arizona on top of her and she wanted to feel that all of the time.
Arizona slowly lifted the soft material before discarding the nightie on the floor and moved to straddle Callie. Once she knew she wasn't hurting her girlfriend she brought their lips back together this time with more urgency than before. Callie grabbed Arizona's vest top and pulled it over her head, trying to change the pace that the blonde had set.
Callie felt the heat coming from Arizona's material covered centre, the black boy shorts being the only part of her bedtime attire left. Arizona showed with a sly grin that Callie couldn't remove anything else without her help, she knew she had control of this situation and was going to use it to her advantage.
Arizona being the control freak that she was, loved the fact that she could get her tough talking badass girlfriend to completely comply to anything.
As Callie watched Arizona smirk she couldn't help but laugh when the blonde pushed her on her forehead which caused the brunette to return to the pillow underneath. Callie pulled Arizona by the neck down with her, mouths connected again, tongues fought with each other for control. It was a game, they both tried to get the upper hand. Although it was a good game as even the loser felt good by the end of it.
Callie was happy this morning as she relinquished all control to Arizona, though she couldn't help but moan a little as she pushed her hips up to bump the blonde enough where it mattered. This had caused Arizona to lose composure for a second and she swiftly ground down onto the squirming body below her.
Callie may have let her girlfriend win this battle of control but that didn't mean she couldn't play dirty.
Not happy with the fact that Callie had seemed to forget who was in charge. Arizona grabbed both of the brunette's wrists from behind her neck and relocated them above the Callie's head. Normally Callie would put up more of a fight when she knew Arizona's rule of move them and I'll stop came into play, Callie was happy to obey.
Slowly working her way down the beautiful darker skin she licked and nipped till she got the reaction that she wanted. Arizona stopped her decent and claimed each nipple in her mouth giving each one the desired amount of time till they stood at attention.
Callie knew this feeling so well, she lived for this feeling of being completely loved. She was completely giving herself to the love of her life, her trust and her heart.
Arizona finally made her way to her destination; she paused slightly and waited for Callie as she regained her senses a little. The blonde loved the reaction she could create in Callie, believe it or not the Latina was quiet in the foreplay front, little moans of pleasure here and there gave a little buzz, encouraged the blonde.
Callie had a habit of being able to get lost in the moment; she would try to concentrate but would kind of forget to do anything else. Remembering to breathe had become an issue on a number of occasions. However the closer to her core Arizona would get the sounds from her writhing girlfriend would grow. That sound Arizona could create from the brunette only spurred her on.
Once Callie seemed to be a bit more alert Arizona made herself comfy between her girlfriend's thighs, she smiled as she placed a kiss on the inside of each thigh.
It was something that had been worked out between the two lovers, it gave Callie a warning. Very quickly in the relationship Arizona realised that she had to do something to save herself from having to explain some very unfortunate bruising to the side of her face. First time it happen she thought she maybe been a bit too enthusiastic… drove right in there to be precise.
Second time she knew they had to come to some sort of understanding cause Mark was getting far too many jokes in at her expense about their sex life. Though Arizona had taken it as a compliment for how awesome her skills are. She knows she puts Mark Sloan to shame.
Arizona slowly flicked her tongue to Callie's pulsing clit and couldn't stop the smile at the response she had got. "Oh god, Ari, oh fuck keep going mmm…" Arizona knew from how much Callie was twitching that she would not be able to take too much. Normally she would have slowed and strung it out but she wanted her, this was just about need at the moment so she teased Callie with two fingers, coating them in her arousal before pushing in slowly building a rhythm, while still she continued to suck and flick the now throbbing nerve.
Feeling Callie's walls contract tighter, Arizona with the addition of another finger knew that this would send Callie crashing through waves of release, it wouldn't be long before Callie would be saying her name in ecstasy. The whole time the moans from the brunette started to grow in noise as Arizona now quickly curled her fingers gently grazing that spot that she knew would send her girlfriend over the edge the whole time her fingers fighting against the tight muscles before she was rewarded by the wonderful sexy tones dripping from her mouth as she finally came.
"Arizonnaaaa, that's, oh god!" her body jerked until the senses had calmed and relaxed her body, Arizona stayed there until she could no longer feel Callie's wall contract and her muscles had relaxed enough for her to remove herself carefully.
Arizona moved up the bed till she knelt at the out of breath woman before she changed position so she was sat with her legs crossed elbows on them and her hands were under her chin as she looked at Callie with the cockiest grin ever.
"I think that's my personal best" she giggled; Callie pulled herself upright so that she sat looking at Arizona and smiled.
"You know I think I might just have to give you that!" Arizona leaned over and took Callie's lips in hers, tasting herself in the process as things quickly started to heat up again.
"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP" it has to be the worst sound in the world Callie thought to herself. Arizona knew it was hers as the annoying screech came from her side of the bed; she awkwardly shifted backwards so that her legs were still underneath, but she had lay with her back on the bed as she reached for the pager.
"Damn 911"
Callie couldn't resist the position that was far to inviting and she quickly jumped at the blonde smacking a kiss on her neck. Arizona's head dangled over the side of the bed and she managed to straighten out her legs underneath Callie. They both closed their eyes and got lost on each others lips as they started to lose themselves in the moment again.
"Wow, Oh my god, I need soap, wash my eyes out! Arrggh!" the door swung open to reveal a grossed out Cristina, who quickly covered her eyes. Luckily enough for Cristina there position covered the girls modesty though it left little to the imagination of what was about to occur. Cristina showed her disgust through gagged noises and bending over at the waist in pain.
Looking up Callie burst into laughter at her ridiculous friend "MOVE it Roller girl, we gotta goooo! 911"
By this time Arizona still upside down with her head laid over the side of the bed, smiled sweetly at the resident.
"I hear the noises that come from you, don't you give me that sweet girl next door I'm so pure, I save tiny human smile, I know what you are!"
"Bite me, Yang!" Arizona protested
"No obviously you get enough of that from Miss Dark and Dangerous over there, seriously Torres you need to get control of you Twilighty urges, move it! Tiny in pain human's" Cristina left the room shaking her head.
"Let them suffer!" Arizona huffed quietly; Callie raised an eyebrow at her girlfriend's ridiculous tone.
"You know, you look like a baby that's just had its ice cream taken away from it" Arizona giggled and bit her bottom lip.
"Yes but it was reeealllllly good ice cream!" she wriggled out from underneath Callie's body just as she was about to get off the bed. Callie managed to grab her leg and pull her back into her grasp as she kissed her
"You know I really want ice cream later and will make it up to you, all the ice cream you want, I love you so much" Callie smirks as she spoke to Arizona's who just gave a dimpled smile.
As she watched the retreating form of her girlfriend, Callie thought that this was definitely a deja vu moment and then realised this isn't new, She had already done this, Yang doesn't live here anymore! This was the moment that in her heart she realised that she didn't want to be anywhere else, this was home, this already happened! As Callie looked back towards Arizona she started to fade out again.
"This is a memory!" then all that followed was darkness again.
Arizona looked at the unconscious figure of her girlfriend as she lay in the hospital bed, Arizona was beside her self. She was tired and agitated; Callie was alive but had not woken up. It had Derek and the other doctors completely stumped.
The thing with the brain is it's such a complex organ, in the medical profession you are always finding new stuff out, this, this was different.
"Any change" Teddy asked as she leant against the door frame.
"It's been three weeks Teddy! Derek's confused, there's loads of brain activity, actually he's says there's more than there should be." As she lowered her head, she looked at the hand in hers.
"You know its weird cause looking at her she just looks like she's sleeping, she seems... it's almost as if she's dreaming, but still she won't wake up."
When the car had hit most of the impact had been on the passenger side, it had left Callie with the majority of her injuries just cuts and a lot of bruising. Mainly because of the seatbelt she was wearing, however she did hit her head badly on the steering wheel when the air bag didn't deploy and as her head was forced backwards she was met with the legs of Cristina Yang who wasn't wearing her seatbelt.
Looking at Callie now 3 weeks later just looked like she was sleeping, there was hardly any indication that she was even in the accident. When she was brought into the hospital she had a brain bleed but that was controlled, she was stable, after a week she was breathing on her own and they were just waiting for her to wake up.
It was the light at the end of the tunnel during this sad time, yet again the hospital had lost some of their own, but yet here they were. They still had to wait for something good to come out of the accident.
"Do you want me to sit with her for a while, you need something to eat, even just get yourself a coffee. You need to take care of yourself because when, WHEN she wakes up she's going to need you!" Arizona looked up with sad eyes and agreed hesitantly with Teddy before rising to her feet.
She really didn't want to leave but she knew that Teddy would get her in a heartbeat if anything happened.
She turned to Teddy as she was about to leave the room "How do you tell someone that their best friends are dead and that they survived, I just don't know how!" she lowered her shoulders and left the room.
Teddy looked to Callie who seemed to be having a good dream, "I hope you're enjoying that!" she breathed out quietly.
Callie stood at the back of the room and watched memories of herself and Arizona…
As the key's hit the table it brought her from the dark "oh… I'm awake… I I'm… see I'm I'm totally awake…I'm…there's hats and giftsss an…and doughnuts and lingerie 'bleugh,bleugh,bleugh' , really…'bleugh'" Callie laughed to herself that's when Arizona knocked her over "I love you" Callie just looked like a dear in the headlights as she thought where did that come from! "You do" that look she gave Callie just; it's all she ever wanted, the first time Arizona told her she loved her
"I love you too".
When Arizona turned all she was met with was the cold gaze of the man thats when she notices the gun "There are only children here!" quickly she turns to shield Ruby. The man's reply is quiet but I hear it "they shot me".
Seeing Arizona quietly repeats her words over and over. Callie watches herself move toward the man.
"Mr Umm" raising her eye brow Callie waits for his answer.
"Clark… Gary Clark" Callie watches as she slowly moves between him and Arizona.
"Mr Clark" picking some bandages off the trolley Callie walked slowly towards him.
"Um here are some…urm bandages…..press them to the wound, it will stop the bleeding" nodding towards his shoulder. "Ok, take them…just take them… just take them and go" placing them on top of his outstretched gun filled hand Callie remembers she flinched but all she thought about was just getting him to leave.
"Thank you"
"Right, I've not said anything up until now but you are really pissing me off Torres!" Callie spun around quickly after watching the scene in front of her.
Mark stood in his scrubs arms folded across his chest right in front of her; they were no longer in that room but in one of the OR's. Mark shifted himself up onto the table.
"What… why are you here, I'm having happy dreams!" Callie smiled goofily.
Mark raised an eyebrow and wiggled it, "Yes well I'm aware of that, and while I am enjoying watching each and every one by the way…you really are quiet dense Cal, she needs you! Why do you think she's all you've been dreaming about?"
"Well that and that guy with the Cheese slices that keeps popping up, that's…well that's just freaky!"
"Yeah I watched a bit too many re-runs of Buffy the other night!" Callie scoffed.
Sliding off the table Mark moved and grabbed Callie by the shoulders "Come on Cal, shake it off and get your ass out of that bed, it's too late for us two but you… you can make it you just need to snap out of it!"
With that Mark turned around tipped the table causing it to crash to the floor, the noise was deafening and it was followed by bright white light that burned her eyes.
"Arizona, where is she!" Callie snapped up in the bed which scared the heart surgeon to death, which in itself was hysterical.
"Jesus… What the hell… Callie relax please, my heart needs to calm down…Please!" Teddy moving round the bed presses the nurse's button quickly checking Callie out, all the while trying to keep her in the bed. Although Callie was feeling sore she really needed Arizona.
As the nurse entered the room her jaw pulling along behind her at what she saw "Dr Altman what did you do!" Teddy growled at the nurse and shouted at her to page Dr Robbins and Shepherd.
"Come on Cal, you really need to calm down, she'll be here in a minute" As she relaxed back into the bed Callie looked straight to Teddy "Their dead, aren't they, they're gone!"
Callie looked towards the door in time as she watched Arizona turn into the door frame in her haste "Mark and Christina they're gone aren't they" Arizona grabbed Callie's hand as her tears broke down her face.
"Oh baby, I'm so sorry".
