Restless Nights

Arizona entered her apartment it was about 11:30pm she had a long day but was lucky enough to get off before midnight. The place was dark she assumed her wife and daughter had already gone to bed, Callie had also worked that day so Arizona knew her wife must have been tired. She set her stuff down at the door and begins to walk towards her daughter's bedroom. She was a little sad she missed putting the little girl to bed; she wanted to see her daughter before she herself went to bed. As she passed the living room couch she realized that a tiny human was sitting there. What is she doing up? Arizona thought as she walked over toward the couch. Sofia was looking at a book she hadn't noticed her momma walk in.

"Hey big girl, what are you doing awake at this hour?" The blond questioned her daughter.

"Momma!" Sofia jumped up and ran into her mom's arms she couldn't sleep because her momma hadn't put her to bed and she missed her.

"Momma, I couldn't sleep… Mommy forgot to check in my closet for monsters," the four-year old simply stated.

"O did she?" Arizona asked

"Mommy always forgets to check the closet, I think it's because she doesn't have to check in her room because she knows you are there to keep her safe." Sofia said

"Well lets go check your closet then so you can go to bed, because I'm off of work tomorrow and I have a super awesome surprise planned." Arizona gave her daughter her super magic smile.

"What is it momma? Please, please tell me!" the excited child asked.

"Nope I can't it would ruin it." Arizona said just as her pager being to go off

Shit 911, I hope this doesn't take all night Arizona thought she really needed a day off she hadn't had one for about three weeks now. PEDS was short two attendings now so as head of the department she was picking up the slack but it was starting to wear on her.

"NOOO," Sofia yelled, "NO momma don't go please I can't sleep if you're not home and if you go then you'll miss the super awesome surprise." The little girl begin to cry it was breaking Arizona's heart. She didn't want to leave her daughter but she knew that there was someone else's kid that needed her to save them right now.

"Hey, how about this, you go lay in bed with mommy she doesn't like to sleep without me either so you go give her snuggles and hopefully I'll be home by the time you wake up and then we will have the super awesome surprise day, okay?" Arizona asked hoping allowing the child to sleep in their bed would be enough to get the girl to calm down.

"Okay momma" Sofia pouted and went into her mother's room

Arizona went and got her coat back on then walked into the room and saw her daughter snuggled up next to her wife. She missed them so much it felt like she hadn't gotten to have a conversation that lasted more than five minuets with either of them in forever. Arizona walked into the room and kissed her daughter on the forehead "Good night baby girl." She said and then placed a kiss on her wife's head, "I love you Calliope." She said to her sleeping wife then left to go to the hospital.

Walking back through her front door it was now 3:30AM, so much for being off before midnight, Arizona thought as she removed her jacket and shoes, she was happy she made it back before the sun came up. She walked into her bedroom seeing her girls laying there it was a mess of dark hair and arms and legs sprawled all over the bed, Sofia had managed to twist herself upside down and Callie was almost falling off the bed Arizona couldn't help but giggle at the sight as she walked to the dresser to change in to one of Callie's old college t-shirts and a pair of shorts she had showered at the hospital because she didn't want to wake up her wife or daughter at home. As Arizona climbed into bed she picked up her daughter placing the young girl between herself and Callie so glad they had a bed big enough to comfortably fit all three. As she was trying to get comfortable she looked over and saw Callie's beautiful brown eyes looking at her.

"Hey, sorry I didn't mean to wake you go back to sleep babe." Arizona apologized

Callie smiled and moved closer to her wife being cautious of the sleeping child between them. "Hey, I missed you," she said, "why is the Bug in our bed?" Callie questioned. She was not complaining it was just unusual for Sofia to be in her moms' bed, at this age she was really good about sleeping by herself.

"She was awake when I got home, you didn't check the closet for monsters, and I was going to put her back to bed but I got paged." Arizona looked down her wife was mindlessly playing with the blonde's hair, "She kind of freaked out she stated crying about how she didn't want me to leave, so I told her to sleep with you because you like snuggles at night." Arizona finished she felt so bad that she had to leave her daughter earlier.

"Hey, why do you look sad? You did the right thing, she just misses you but its okay she knows that you love her more than anything." Callie tried to comfort her wife not positive she was correctly guessing what was wrong with Arizona.

"I know she does, it's just I miss her too I feel like a bad mom I'm always at the hospital and our kid is sitting up at 11:30 at night reading in the living room because I wasn't here to put her to bed." Arizona said, "I just feel like I'm failing her, and you I…. I miss you so much Calliope." Arizona admitted still not looking into her wife's eyes.

"No…Arizona.." Callie breathed, "you could never fail us you are our everything, you're the best thing in the world to us," Callie said, "hey, look at me," she placed both hands cupping Arizona's face pulling it up so she could look into her wife's beautiful blue eyes. She could see the sadness in them all Callie wanted to do was take away all the pain there. "I love you Arizona, Sofia, she loves you too, She loves you the most it's so obvious you are her favorite," Callie laughed, "you do everything for us you work for 48 hours and come home and still stay up to play with her… Or with me." Callie said that last part in a low voice a suggestive smile on her face. "You are so amazing I can't figure out how you do it these last few weeks you have been working so hard. It's okay to feel bad and to miss us because we miss you too but don't ever feel like your failing or you're not enough for us." Callie said looking deep into Arizona's eyes trying to make sure her wife was believing the words she was saying, "You are more than enough for us okay? You are AWESOME." Callie finished with extra emphasis on Arizona's favorite word.

Arizona was exhausted she had, had a bad couple of days and she knew she was just caught in a moment she knew Callie was right but she still wasn't feeling much better. She began to open her mouth to protest when all of a sudden Callie leaned over kissing her passionately, having to remind herself Sofia was in the bed Arizona fought the urge to pull her wife on top of her. Callie pulled away and said, "No, no protesting I love you and Sofia loves you, you don't get to protest that." Callie said and she leaned over giving her wife another kiss this one filled with love and adoration.

"mmm", Arizona monad into the kiss, pulling away she said, "I needed that, your right I'm sorry I just had a really bad day and I miss you two. I just need to snuggle with my girls." Arizona finished and kissed Callie one last time.

"That can be arranged." Callie smiled and shifted so she was laying in bed again her arm reaching over her daughter and wife her had placed at the small of Arizona's back. Arizona lying in the same position with both their foreheads touching and their daughter safely snuggled between them this is how they fell asleep.

Arizona was standing in the O.R. gallery she couldn't move she could see Alex Karev he was operating he was making mistakes lots of mistakes, he was losing the patient. The patient on the table looked so small the child couldn't have been older than 6 and Alex making simple mistakes. Arizona was trying so hard to get down there she knew what he had done wrong if she could get there she could fix it and save the kid, but her legs were not moving at all she fought to go she fought so hard trying all she could do was watch as Alex was letting this kid die. "I… I don't know what I'm doing," he said, "Robbins never taught me this, she didn't prepare me." He continued then the monitors flat lined. "BEEEEPPPP" was the only sound in the room. Arizona was still stuck she managed to move her legs only to find the door to the room was locked from the outside. She knew she had to get down there in a matter of minuets otherwise it would be too late. She slammed herself against the door trying as hard as she could to get it to open but it wasn't working then suddenly she heard Alex speak again, "Time of death eleven forty." He said just as the door opened Arizona ran down to the O.R. and burst in just as they were pulling the drapes off of the patients face, "NO!" she yelled as she saw her daughter lying on the table. She collapsed she hit the ground.

With a jerk Arizona woke up from her dreams she was in a bit of a panic she rolled over quickly to see her daughter still lying in bed with her and her wife. Arizona put her ear to Sofia's chest listening for breath sounds and a heartbeat. Once she was satisfied both were normal she breathed a sigh and pulled the sleeping girl as close to her as she could get.

Callie knew the second Arizona woke up she knew her wife had nightmares sometimes about work and although Callie was not a light sleeper she always woke up when her wife was having a nightmare. She looked over watching Arizona check Sofia and pull her close to herself closing her eyes again. Callie also moved closer to her girls. She knew Arizona wouldn't want to talk about it but she wanted her wife to know that she was supported Callie let her hands slide soothingly up and down Arizona's side until she felt the blond drift back off to sleep.
