I Guess I Have A Thing For Blondes
Chapter 1
Since the rapid departure of Erica Hahn, Calliope Torres had tried her damndest not to notice, let alone start to like, any women around her. She didn't need that again. Erica had changed everything she thought she knew about herself, life, love. Confused her, permanently altered her and then ran off on her, leaving her beaten, broken and feeling like a hollow shell. Since she left, Callie had slowly begun the process of building herself back up again and the last thing she needed was any girls coming along and messing with that process. She figured if she put walls and didn't let herself start to like anyone, she'd be set. She was doing pretty well too until a certain blonde doctor rolled by her in a pair of heely's.
"Who is THAT?" Callie questioned Dr. Miranda Bailey, who happened to be standing next to her at the nurses station.
"THAT would be Dr. Arizona Robbins. Our new head of Pediatrics."
"Arizona? As in, the state?" She laughed. "Who names their kid after a state?"
"The same kind of people that name their child Calliope?" Bailey said as she walked away to do her rounds. She put extra emphasis on Callie's full name and smirked. Callie knew Bailey was just kidding, but she still hated it when people used her full name. Just as she was plotting her revenge, her pager went off. 911. Probably an incoming Trauma. She thought to herself. Good. I'll be busy and therefore NOT thinking about a certain hot, blonde, doctor.
Callie all but ran to the ER, almost colliding with the very person she had been trying NOT to think about. "I was paged?" They both said at exactly the same time. "Yes you were." Bailey stated simply before explaining the situation as they followed her. "We have a car accident victim. Age 9, name is Jessica Powell. She was in the car with her father when a drunk driver blew through an intersection and hit them. Car flipped twice. Father's already been rushed down to surgery, Jessica is unconscious has a broken leg and arm, possible internal bleeding. We're doing an ultrasound now to find out." She finished, pulling open a curtain and revealing a very banged up little girl with long dark hair and light olive skin. She looked just like Callie did when she was that age.
"How's the ultrasound?" Arizona asked the intern conducting the test as she looked back and forth between her patient and the screen, checking vitals. Meanwhile, Callie checked the breaks in her arm and leg and checked for additional fractures.
"It looks like she has some internal bleeding in the abdomen." The intern said pointing it out on the screen. Arizona quickly thanked him before yelling for someone to get Jessica down to an OR right away.
Both Callie and Arizona rushed away to scrub in for the surgery. While they were scrubbing in Callie decided now was as good a time as ever to introduce herself.
"Hi, I'm Callie Torres. I heard you're the new head of Peds?" She flashed what she hoped was a winning smile.
"I'm Arizona Robbins, and yep you heard right! I am in fact the new head of Peds."
"How long have you been here now?"
"Oh, only about a week. I like it here though." Callie was about to say something else when Arizona cut her off. "Well, I'm all set! Let's go fix a kid!" She gave Callie the same winning smile she had been trying to convey earlier, then quickly spun around and walked away to the OR. Callie quickly followed suit, but not before mentally chastising herself for checking out the blonde's ass as she walked away.
