No, Calzona is not crazy or in a mental institution but maybe I should be because I had a new, crazy idea for a crossover fic with the L word and Grey's Anatomy. It's a bit of a AU in where Nadia (played by Jessica Capshaw on the L word) changed to identity to Arizona Robbins in order to escape an abusive girlfriend, Joanne. Callie knows nothing of Arizona's past life so like with this is normal. The plane crash did happen but now Arizona cheating with Lauren. Bette and Nadia haven't seen each other since the semester that Nadia took Dean Porter' s class so she has no idea of the tremendous changes with her until Tina brings Angelica to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Chapter 1
Mondays were always hated by Arizona Robbins. The usually bubbly and overly optimistic peds surgeon was never quite herself on Mondays, she was a mix between tired and bitchy for no other reason than except it was Monday, meaning her weekend was over. Blue eyes scanned the sleeping form of her wife and what she saw made her smile, she could never make it through Monday or any other day without Callie. Calliope Torres was so much more than her wife; she was her best friend, the mother of her daughter and the love of her life. Never before had she had a love as pure and true as she has with Callie. As her eyes grazed over tan mounds that formed her wife's delicious chest Arizona felt her own body began to heat up. Callie was simply sleeping but the sight of her sends the blonde into a frenzy, never in her life had Arizona been so attracted to someone. Callie was obviously beautiful to anyone who saw her but to Arizona she was miraculous, breathtakingly stunning and she couldn't keep her baby blue eyes over her. Sure she was attracted to past partners and lusted after them but none of them compared to what Callie did to her. For the blonde it wasn't just a physical or sexual attraction but so much more, she was attracted to Callie's mind and personality as well. The raven haired beauty was so intriguing to Arizona that she never wanted her to stop talking. Callie always joked that for the first three months of their relationship she was dating a stranger because all Arizona wanted to talk about was her, which was still true. The way Callie saw things was like no one else, her passion for the things she cared about was strong and beautiful, every time Callie shared a feeling or opinion it opened up Arizona's mind and heart a little more. Before Callie, Arizona's world views, thoughts and opinions were black and white, right and wrong but now her world was full of color. Arizona is so in love with this woman and the freedom she gives her to not only be who she is but to change and grow into the woman she wants to be. The blonde knows that she is completely safe with Callie; she just wished that she could be completely honest with her about her past. Deep down she knows that it wouldn't really change anything between them and that Callie would understand everything. But the fear of letting out the secret and somehow being found was forcing Arizona to keep the secret. Reliving her past was was something she never wanted to do because of all the pain it holds and she never wants Callie to know how weak she once was. It took her so long to rebuild her life from nothing and now that she has everything she ever wanted she's not letting anything ruin it. She deserves this love and happiness so shaking away the past she lays a delicate kiss on her wife's full lips.
"" Mm, morning babe" Callie said as she opened one eye to peek at Arizona.
"Morning love" Arizona replied as she kissed her lips again. "You're irresistible."
"Yep and that's with morning breath, just wait until I brush my teeth." Callie teased as she pulled her wife closer.
"I do like when you're minty fresh" Arizona giggles as she relaxed into Callie, never had she felt so safe in a lover's arms. The last time she thought she was safe with someone was when she was with Joanne, they had dated throughout high school and Joanne had even met her family, everything with her was fun and easy but it was real love. Arizona thought they were too young to have a serious relationship so when they graduated she broke up with Joanne. It was a few years and a lot of one night stands later that Arizona ran into Joanne again, giving their past and how easy it was with Joanne Arizona decided to give it another go and the two quickly became serious but Joanne was different in a way the blonde didn't recognize before it was too late. The second time their relationship ended with Arizona running away from her with a battered face and broken ribs, she had been tossed around like a rag doll every day for a year.
"You okay?" Callie's voice was full of concern as it cut into Arizona's thoughts.
Arizona did her best to put on a happy face and focus on her wife. "I'm great, why do you ask?"
Callie frowned a bit in confusion. "I, um, was asking your opinion on the case I'm stuck on but you were zoned out and then I felt you tensing in my arms. What were you thinking about?"
"It doesn't matter; you have my undivided attention now." The blonde lowered her voice into a husky whisper as she trailed kisses along her wife's tender neck. "But I'd rather not talk about work now."
Callie gave into her wife's antics and after having both of their worlds rocked they finally got of bed to start their day. Once they got Sofia situated in daycare the two wives went their separate way. Arizona had a packed day with back to back surgeries on the tiny humans. She had just finished a three hour surgery to repair a small Bowel Atresia in a little boy when she was paged to the ER. Once she got their she was met by Alex.
"Robbins, over her." Alex said as he waved her over and quickly gave her a briefing. "Eight year old girl with nose bleed and frequent vomiting. Mother said she fainted after her soccer game and when they got her conscious she began throwing up, complaining of a head ache and her nose just started bleeding."
"Hey there Angelica, I'm Dr. Robbins and we're going to find out what's going on with you, okay?" Arizona gave the little girl her best super magic smile before turning back to Alex. "Okay, get her up to radiology for a MRI and CT"
"Excuse me?" Arizona turned to see a blonde woman running up to her. "Do you know where they took Angelica Porter, I had to call her mom."
"And you are?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I so…I'm all over the place. Usually Bette handles things things better than I do and she keeps me calm but she's not here and my baby is really and I-"
"Ma'am?" Arizona gently put a handing on the babbling woman's shoulder. "It's okay, just take a deep breath and tell me who you are."
The woman did as she was told. "I'm sorry; I'm Tina, Tina Porter, Angelica's mother. I brought her in but step out to call my wife to tell her what happened."
"Okay, I see. Well, Angelica was taken for scans and should be back in a couple minutes. You-" Before Arizona could finish her sentence she was page 911 to Radiology.
"You can go if you need to." Tina said, she had calmed down a bit since learning where her daughter was.
"I'm being page to where Angelica is, I'm not sure if it's because of Angelica or not but I'll update you as soon as I can." Arizona took off running in the direction of Radiology. When she reached radiology everything seemed normal so she was confused as to why she was being paged. "Alex, what is it? There's no emergency?"
"Not now but there will be if we don't get her into surgery now."
"What are you talking about?"
"Angelica, can you try walking to Dr. Robbins for me?"
Angelica nodded and slowly lifted herself out of the chair to move towards her target. She felt as though she was walking perfectly normal but the more she walked, the further away Dr. Robbins became. "What's going on?" She asked in a scared voice.
"Sweetie, you can stop now." Arizona had quickly made her way to Angelica for fear that the girl would fall any moment now. "Your balance is really off and with your previous symptoms we need you to see a brain doctor right now, okay?"
Hazel eyes grew wide with fear as the girl took in the words. "What's wrong with my brain?"
"We don't know yet but we have the best Brain doctor here and he'll take good care of you." Arizona promised with a smile. She paged Derek 911 and gave him a detailed briefing on the case so far and what she thinks it may be. After leaving the child in good hands she was making her way back to Tina to give her an update on her daughter's condition.
For Callie everything was going smoothly, she had the typical, easy fix broken bone cases with no major surgeries. So by the time lunched rolled around she was a bit bored with this day and wanted, no needed to see her wife. She had just checked the third wing of the hospital looking for Arizona and was beginning to get worried, she had checked the surgical board and Arizona wasn't in surgery so where the hell was she? A wave of relief washed over Callie as she saw a bouncy blonde ponytail down the hall and quickly ran up to her. "Arizona! There you are." The blonde stopped walking when she heard that familiar voice calling her name. "Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you. I thought we could have lunch together"
"That sounds great Cal, I just need to give a parent an update on her daughter and then I'm all yours."
"Okay, I'll come with you."
"Mrs. Porter, Angelica is being seen by our head of Neuro. We gave her a balance test which she failed and along with her earlier symptoms gives us reason to believe that she may have a brain tumor."
"Oh my god." Tina slumped into her seat as the shock of what was just said hit her.
"Please try not to worry, we're going to do more test and if it is a brain tumor most of the time it isn't cancer so there's no need to panic."
"Tina!" Tina jumped to her feet when she heard he wife but she didn't move, she just stared at Arizona.
"I, uh, can't say. I can't tell her. I gave birth to Angelica, what if- what if…" Tina began to sob.
"I will tell your wife but this isn't your fault. It isn't anyone's fault. " Arizona stated while handing her a tissue. She quickly shot Callie a help me look which caused Callie to come comfort Tina while Arizona talked to her wife.
"Tina, what happened? Where's Angelica?" Arizona slowly turned around to address the paniced woman behind her.
"Ang-" Arizona couldn't believe her eyes. All the color had drained from her face and heart sped up. Someone from her past, her secret past was standing right in front of her. In front of her and Callie, Oh shit, how am I going to explain this to Callie? Arizona thought as she felt Callie's eyes on her. She blinked as she took in the woman standing in front of her; she was as gorgeous as ever and looked exactly the same. Bette's face was drained of color also and her eyes resembled those of a dear in head lights, the blonde had never seen her like this before and if this was a different situation she would have laughed. "Dean Porter…"
"Nadia?"
