AN: So, here we are again. Faster than you expected? Well, don't get to excited because the updates probably won't be as quick this time. I have to get outside of my head and go be social this weekend. Yes. I do have a life, despite what you may think from how fast I wrote my last fic. I miss Grey's, so this is my way of dealing. Anyway, this is the beginning of the second story of my series. Yes. It's gonna be series for those of you who hinted to wanting one. Enjoy the ride, and remember, I thrive off the reviews. I also except Rockstar as incentive.

Cheers.

Callie's POV

The cafeteria at Seattle Grace Mercy West was extra busy that day. I had just got out of a grueling 8 hour emergency surgery after being paged at 3:00 this morning and I was spent. And I was hungry. The line was so long to get food that I walked right on by and headed for the coffee cart instead. Caffeine always made me a better person, and after not sleeping at all last night, I needed to be anyone better than who I was now. I was the sleep deprived, food deprived, tragedy of a surgeon that didn't want to do anything right now but hide in an on call room and sleep. I blamed Arizona for not sleeping. Well, I guess I couldn't really complain. She had just come off a successful round of pretty intense surgeries and whenever that happened, all she wanted was sex. So last night instead of sleep, Arizona decided to put stamina to the test and see which one of us could last the longest. Even though we were out of the honeymoon phase of the relationship, we had been together for almost a year now, the sexual tension between us was still on overdrive. I liked that. I really liked that.

I handed the girl behind the coffee cart some change and turned to head out and find that on call room I was dreaming about when I felt a pair of arms grab my waist.

"Hey baby" Arizona said tip toeing up to kiss my cheek "How was surgery?"

I loved how perky she was, even after our little marathon last night and her having to be here for 6 this morning, she was still full of energy.

"Went well" I replied taking her into my arms, making sure my coffee stayed up right. I needed that caffeine. I wonder if I could just have it injected into my veins?

"I got you some lunch over at our table and we were just making the final plans for our weekend excursion" she was practically jumping as she took my hand and pulled me towards the back of the cafeteria where Mark, Lexie, Owen and Karev were seated.

Oh right. Camping. Yay. Last month, Mark and Owen got it in there heads that we needed to get out of the city and planned out this whole weekend of wooded bliss. Arizona was so excited that if we weren't sleeping, or doing other bedtime activities, she was sat up making lists. Lists of what we had to pack, and what we were going to do on our wilderness adventure. I, personally, just wanted to stay in the city and sleep in my own bed and have access to running water. But she was so manic about this trip, I couldn't help but feel a little excited to see her in all her glory putting up a tent. I most certainly would not be putting one up, that's for sure.

'Your still alive are ya Cal" Owen asked in between bites of his apple. Food. My stomach growled at me. He had obviously heard all the non-sleeping that had gone on last night as I sat in a chair and pulled Arizona down into my lap. My senses were raging from the smell of her shampoo as she lay her head on the side of mine.

"Do you two every sleep?" Mark asked also eating an apple. Hunger. I want an apple.

"You guys are just jealous that my girlfriend is the hottest surgeon this hospital has ever seen and her appetite for the finer things in life is very healthy" Arizona chimed in proudly as she took a bite of her apple. What was up with the apples today? And why didn't I have one? Whhhyyyy?

"Ahhhh, I might have to fight you on that one Robbins" Mark said putting his arm around Lexie as her face turned 10 shade of red. They had become really close over the last year, and I'm pretty sure he knew a lot more about my sex life now, thanks to Arizona of course. We all laughed, well except Lexie, who was burying her face in her apple. Seriously, this has got to be a joke. There must be a tree around here that I hadn't seen yet.

"So anyway" Arizona said obvioulsy trying to change the subject. "I picked up a fishing pole yesterday after my shift and I have to say, It's the cuttest fishing pole I have ever seen"

"Fishing pole" I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Now she was a fisherman was she.

"Yes Calliope. I want to experience everything there is about camping. I've never been fishing before you know, and I saw this great pole on-line, so I went down and got it, and I even put a few butterfly stickers on it to brighten it up" she rambled as I saw Karev stand to leave.

"Butterflies on a fishing pole" he laughed as he took a bite of his apple. OK. I had to find this tree. "Now I have heard it all"

"What?" she questioned looking around at our friends "I happen to think its cute"

She was cute. She was more than cute. And as hungry as I was at the moment, thanks to my apple eating friends, all I wanted to do was find that on call room and continue where we had left off this morning. Stop Callie. You need sleep. Especially if your gonna be on your game for this weekend. I was sooo looking forward to sleeping on the cold, hard, damp ground. Soooo looking forward.

"And on that note " Owen says checking his pager that had just went off "I'm off to save lives. We are still on for 6am?" as he backed away from our table.

"Yes." Arizona jumped off my lap. I tilted my head at the view that was now in front of me. Stop Callie. Now.

"And if you guys wouldn't mind" he winked at me "I'd like to get some sleep tonight. We have a big day ahead of us, Don't we Dr. Robbins?" He was teasing me now. He knew I wasn't thrilled about this trip, but would do anything for Arizona.

"Oh yes, yup" she sat back down and put her arm around my neck. "We will be going to bed early tonight, won't we Calliope?"

I wast sure if she meant we had to get to sleep early, or if she had some crazy surgery this afternoon that she was planning on rocking and that we were going to be celebrating early. The one thing I did know was I was gonna need a lot more coffee before my shift ended today. And an apple.

Arizona's pager went off almost simultaneously with Marks.

"And lunch is over" She said jumping up again as she leaned in towards me. She looked at me with lust in her eyes as she pressed her her lips against mine. Kissing her never got old. It never ceased to amaze me how just kissing her sent my head into a spin. She pulled back and then pressed her lips to my ear.

"On call room." She whispered "20 minutes". So much for sleep I thought as her she interlocked her arm into Marks and walked away.

"Dr. Torres" I head Lexie's voice which made me turn back to where it was just her and I left at the table.

"Lexie, I told you to call me Callie when we weren't on the floor" I said to her pulling my chair into the table as I saw the tray that Arizona had left behind. Apples. Finally, as I reached for the shiny object I had so desired.

"I know" she looked down at the table and I could tell something was bothering her. She picked at the remnants of her lunch with a fork.

"What going on Lex?" I asked in between my intake of caffeene and apple.

"It's just..." she was hesitant "I know Mark's your best friend and I know I probably should be talking to him about this right now and not you, but I don't know how to tell him and I thought because you know him better than anyone..."

"Lex" I grabbed her fork wielding hand "Its okay. What's wrong?" Her and Mark had been married for 4 years now and she had kinda become like a little sister to me. Not to mention the fact that if I ever needed to research a case, all I had to do was go to the book of Lexie Grey. That girl was genius.

She took in a deep breath and let it out as she spoke.

"I'm pregnant"

"Lexie" I instinctively jumped to my feet pulling her out of her chair and into my arms. "That's so great. I'm so happy for you guys" My feelings of joy where overwhelming as my thoughts went to Mark and how much he was longing to become a father. Why hadn't he told me? And then I knew.

"I haven't told him yet." She said with sadness in her voice as she pulled back from me. "I don't know what to do Callie. I don't know if I'm ready. I know he really wants this and I do too, but I feel like its just not the right time for us" she sat back down and returned to her fork and food game.

"I don't understand Lex" my heart was in my throat. Why was she doubting this? She knew Mark loved her more than his own life and they did both want kids.

"Please don't tell him. Please don't tell anyone" she looked at me with pleading eyes. "I'm gonna tell him, I just want to get through this weekend first"

I was a good friend. I prided myself on that. I wasn't gonna tell him. I just wanted to understand why she was so distraught. I didn't question her. She would tell him when she was ready. So I let it rest.

"Its okay Lexie" I looked at her as she finally put down the fork and smiled at me. "I'm not gonna say anything to anyone. You'll tell him when your ready. Lets just go and have fun this weekend, and figure it out when we get back." As much as I had watched her mature over the last number of years, she looked so young to me in that moment. I felt like I had to protect her.

"Thanks Callie" she beamed at me, and this is what gave me the sister feeling all over again. "Do you have any room on your service this afternoon. I really don't want to be around any of the other attendings right now"

"Sure Lex" I looked down at my watch remembering that I had to meet Arizona shortly. "Come find me in and hour." I hugged her once more as she continued to sit in her chair.

I walked away with mixed feelings. I didn't know why this had to be a secret. I would be estatic if Arizona and I were going to be having a baby together. I hadn't really thought about it till just now, but it just reaffirmed to me how much I loved her, thinking about having children together. I tried to put the pending news out of my mind as I headed to the on call room to meet Arizona. Secret Callie. Its supposed to be a secret. But how could I keep this from her. We told each other everything. As I opened the door to see her lying on the bed, eyes closed, one arm across her stomach, the other across her forehead, I realised she was more than my girlfriend. She was my best friend. I didn't know how to keep this from her, but I knew it wasn't my place to share it. I lay beside her and pulled her close to me as she instinctively wrapped her arm around my waste.

"I'm tired" she mumbled, her face now burried in my shoulder.

"Me too babe" as I realised I wasn't tired anymore. My thoughts overtook my need for sleep. My thoughts of keeping something from her. I thought back to what she had talked about earlier. Butterfly fishing poles? Did she actually say that?

With that in mind and keeping Lexie's news to myself, this was sure to be an interesting weekend.
