"What If/Suddenly"

Arizona's POV

Arizona takes a fall. When she's unconscious she wakes up in an alternate reality to find her world completely changed.

I promise to update my other stories but when I saw the spoiler pics for 8x13, I got this idea in my head. Hope you enjoy! xx

"Whoah!" came Callie's stern voice as she merely dodged Arizona on her heelie parade.

"Sorry!" Arizona's meek reply came as she swivelled expertly on her heelies to stop by Callie's right hand side.

Callie was giving her a look of warning "I told you to be careful on those things or you're gonna end up being my next surgical patient"

"Well that wouldn't be so bad condering you'd be my doctor" Arizona winked at Callie.

"Better yet, couldn't you just get rid of them?" Callie begged and Arizona gave her a puppy dog look.

"No! Come on! They complete my look, they're part of me"

"Whatever!" Callie rolled her eyes, giving her wife a kiss on the cheek and walking away.

Arizona smiled before wheeling away on her special shoes. She was weaving in and around the corridor, approaching the door around the corner when she suddenly saw a door block her way. She tried to manouver away from the path of the door but was too late as she collide, head-first into the wooden door. She fell to the ground with a thud, her head smashing off the ground. Everything suddenly turned black.

Arizona woke up to a pounding in her head, so severe she felt like her head was going to split.

"Doctor Robbins? Are you okay?"

The pounding became worse as the voice got louder.

"Doctor Robbins?"

"Ouch!" she groaned and felt a strong pair of hands pull her into a sitting position on the floor. She opened her eyes to see Mark Sloan staring at her with genuine concern written in his eyes.

Arizona eyed him "'Doctor Robbins'?"

He laughed "Well that is your name, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is" she replied, rubbing her head.

"That was quite a fall, there. I've paged Doctor Sheppard to come give you a once over"

"That's not necessary. I'm fine. I just lost ontrol of the heelies for a sec"

"Heelies? Your high heels you insist on wearing"

Arizona looked at him weirdly "I don't wear high heels to work. My heelies, the trainers with the wheels?"

"You don't wear those" he answered "You wear these" he said pulling up a pair of black, 5 inch high heels.

"What?" she said aloud to herself. She would never wear those to work. They weren't allowed for starters.

The door opened behind them and Arizona looked to see Callie walk in. Arizona noticed how different her wife looked from this morning. Instead of her navy-blue scrubs, she was wearing a flowery, black and white top under her lab coat, black suit trousers and large high heels similar to hers.

"Callie...you look different" Arizona mused and she saw Calliw shoot her a look.

"I look the same as I always do Doctor Robbins" Callie chuckled.

"Why are you calling me Doctor Robbins?" Arizona shot, extremely confused.

"That's your name"

"I know that but you don't usually call me that"

"Yes we do, you told us to call you that"

"I did?" said Arizona, rubbing her head in aggrivation. As she looked down, it was then that she noticed the huge, glittering rock on Callie's finger.

"Whoah, that thing is blinding me"

"What?" Callie said, looking down to spot what Arizona was looking that "Oh, yeah. Owen really went all out with this"

Arizona froze 'Owen?'

"Owen? Owen Hunt?"

"Yeah. My husband" Callie chuckled.

'Oh My God This isn't happening

"Oh, right" said Arizona with fake understanding "Of Course. Sorry"

"It's fine, but I think we should really get Sheppard up here" Callie explained.

"I can walk to his office"

"You're hurt. It's best if you sit" Mark argued.

"I'm fine. You can watch me walk there if it makes you feel better, but I'm going" she said.

"Alright" said Callie suspiciously "We'll walk you"

Arizona tried to remain calm and steady as she walked out of the hospital room, Callie and Mark eyeing her the whole way. She took a careful look around the hospital. It looked the same. Everyone she knew was there, but it just didn't feel right. Up on the surgical floor Arizona was the first to see Doctor Derek Sheppard as he made his way down the corridor towards them.

He stopped in front of them "Hello, there. Mark, you paged me"

Mark sighed "Yeah, I did. Doctor Robbins took a fall and we think she hit her head pretty hard. She's having trouble remembering some things"

Derek gave Arizona a once over "Really? What things?"

"Well, she can't seem to remember that I'm married to Owen despite the fact she was at our wedding"

Derek smiled at this "Well it's a random thing to forget, but okay"

Arizona watched them all give awkward glances to each other. She realised she would have to play her part a little more fully. Whatever was going on, wherever she was they weren't the same people she thought they were. She hoped this was just a weird dream. She wasn't married to Callie in this reality.

"Mommy!" she heard the excited voice of a little boy behind her. She turned around just in time for the child to jump into her arms, almost falling back from the force of it as she did.

"Mommy!" the boy said again. Arizona stuttered. Why was the boy calling her 'mommy'?. Who was he?

She took a closer look at the boy. He was young, maybe three or four years old and he had short, blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. Like hers. He had the same smile and dimples adorn his face. His smile stretched wide as he sat in her arms.

"I-ah..." she spluttered in absolute shock. She saw the surprised look on all her colleagues faces at her own surprise and quickly changed it to the bestsmile she could muster.

"Hi baby! How are you?" Arizona mused, swallowing the saliva gathering in the back of her throat.

"I'm good!" he said happily and the others chuckled in delight.

"Hiya guys!" said a deeper voice approaching.

"Hey Michael!" the Doctors chorused.

Arizona looked up to see a tall man with light brown hair move forward. He walked right up to Arizona and smiled, leaning in to kiss her cheek.

"Hey Babe!" he said.

Arizona took a second to collect herself and smiled again "Hi...Michael" she greeted.

Arizona looked at him again, more closely this time. Michael, as was his name, was wearing a dark, grey suit and had quiet muscular shouders and a smile that matched the young boys' in her arms. Michael had a child in his arms also, a baby girl with rosy cheeks and fair hair. Arizona assumed that with the engagement and wedding rings placed on her finger, that the man standing before her was her husband. The child possibly her child like the boy.

Not wanting to appear even more awkward she leaned into the girl with a smile on her face "Hi!" she said gleefully and the girl's face lit up and reached forward with her baby fingers for Arizona.

Michael smiled and looked at the girl in his arms "Paige missed you" he said.

"She did?" Arizona said.

"Billy and Paige are okay to stay with you?" he spoke ro Callie and she nodded.

"Of course! The twins and Sofia are dying to have them over" Callie assured.

"Are you ready to go?" Michael asked.

"Go?" Arizona said uncertainly.

Derek stepped in "Uh...Michael. Arizona took a fall earlier and she's having a little trouble remembering some things"

Michael's face turned to one of concern "Oh My God! Are you okay?" he said, turning to Arizona.

"She should be okay. Just give it a day or two to reboot her memory. She doesn't appear to have a problem with motor functions or talking or anything" Derek explained.

Arizona turned to Michael and smiled "I'm fine!" she assured "I'm ready to go"

"Are you sure? Because we can just stay home. It's fine" he exclaimed.

"No, no. I'm really fine. Thanks" she said, turning to Callie. She didn't want to go off with a guy she didn't know, but he seemed to be the person who knew her best and maybe she could learn about this life her alter ego lived. She knew nothing about anything here. She didn't even know her husband's last name.

"It's fine" Callie replied.

Arizona turned to the boy who had sat patiently in her arms "Alright! will you be good for Doctor Torres?". The boy nodded "Okay" she smiled and kissed him on the forehead and then kissed Paige.

She put Billy down and Michael gave Paige over to Callie and they waved their goodbyes and headed to what Arizona stil hoped was her office. Thankfully her office was still the same and once she collected her things they headed out the hospital and where in Michael's car.

It was dark when they got outside. Arizona didn't remember it being dark when she was in her own world or whatever. But she figured that the time of day wasn't the weirdest change since she woke up so she brushed the thought away.

From the hospital to the car, Arizona had been fully aware of Michael's gaze on her constantly. Watching her. In the car was the same. She started to get even more nervous than she already was.

"Michael...would you please stop staring at me? If theres something you want to know..ask" she said.

"Okay" he sighed "I'm glad you're okay, for starters. I told you, you shouldn't wear those heels. They're not really appropriate for running around in a hospital. Anyway, Derek said you were having trouble remembering some things. I'm just curious, what things?"

Arizona heard the alarm bells ringing in her head. The problem he didn't seem to notice was that she didn't just forget some things, she had forgotten everything. Or rather, it wasn't that she had forgotten anything, she didn't know anything.

"Just a little something here and there" she swallowed "Like Callie and Owen being married"

"Haha. Really? That's weird" Michael laughed.

"How?" she asked.

"You were Maid of Honour at their wedding. You were the one that introduced them to each other"

"Really?"

"Yes"

"It's mostly work things then?" she directed "Is Owen still Chief of Surgery?"

"No. It's Ellis Grey?"

"Meredith's mother?"

"Yes"

Arizona was obviously oblivious to a lot at work, but she needed to know what she didn't know about her new alternate family. Starting with Michael.

"Please don't be mad or anything at what I'm about to ask"

Michael smiled gently "I wont. What is it?"

Arizona cringed asking this next question "How did we meet?"

Michael gave her an odd look "You don't remember?"

"Sorry" she said quietly.

"It's okay. We met in Africa. Ring any bells?"

"Malawi?" she said quickly, hoping she was right.

"Yeah" he said happily.

"The Carter Madison Grant?" she continued.

I still went to Africa in this reality.

"Exactly. I was part of your surgical team in Malawi. We met there when we were twenty seven, stayed there till we were thirty" he explained.

"Wait. What's your specialty? Peds as well?"

"No. Cardio"

But Teddy's Head of Cardio.

"What about Teddy?"

"Teddy Altman?" mMichael questioned.

"Uh- huh"

"She went back to serve in Iraq after Henry died. We all tried to talk her out of it, but she insisted. She used to be the Head of Cardio"

"Oh"

"You okay?" Michael said, taking her hand gently in his.

"Yeah..I'm sorry I don't remember any of this"

"It's okay. Like Derek said it'll come back. It already is, just give it time"

Arizona didn't know if she was dreaming now. What if this was her reality and the one she thought was hers was some crazy concoction? She didn't like not knowing but luckily her husband seemed nice enough to help her figure it out. She just had to get through one night and hopefully it would get easier. The part that was worrying her right now she realised was the fact that she was going on a date with a man, it was her husband, but still...
