Prelude

It was just another day at Seattle Grace Mercy West, but it was much more peaceful than any other day. The ER's were almost empty, not much work to do. It was a slow day. Just when everyone thought that the day would end up being peaceful, it all began. None of the doctors knew that it was the beginning of the end of the hospital's most loved couple.

Chapter 1

"Calliope have you seen my blue shirt?", frantically searching for the shirt in the cupboard.

"Arizona, it's right in front of you. Now I know you're stressed regarding this meeting with the chief but you shouldn't. You're the best paediatric surgeon in the country. You shouldn't worry about it."Callie replied

"Calliope I'm not it's just that I hope he's not firing me you know."

Callie sweetly pecked Arizona on her lips and pulled her closer. Embracing her she said, "Darling you're the best. He wouldn't want to fire the best he has!"

Arizona pulls away from Callie and says?," I don't know babe I've been getting a weird feeling lately."

"What is it babe? Are you alright? And why didn't you tell me about it?", Callie says worried.

Arizona doesn't answer for a while. She just stands still as if thinking of something. Suddenly, the clock draws her attention. It was 8:50AM and the meeting with the chief starts at 9. She was really late.

"Oh God! Cal, I'm late! I have to leave. I'll see you at the hospital."

She reached forward to kiss Callie but Callie just smirks at her. And then Arizona realizes that all the while she was topless. She rushes and grabs a top. Puts it on hurriedly, pecks Callie lightly and rushes off saying goodbye.

Callie smiled at her but her mind was still revolving with the fact so as to what Arizona was thinking about. What was she so worried about.

Never did she think that it was the last time she was smiling with her girlfriend.

Seattle Grace Mercy West

Arizona nervously entered the conference room. She saw the chief and a brunette woman. She looked tired and exhausted but beautiful at the same time.

"I'm taken, doesn't mean I'm blind." Arizona thought.

"Ah! Doctor Robbins, just in time. This is Mrs Mitchells, she's here for her daughter. Let's discuss. "

Over the next two hours they discussed about the case but she soon realized that there was very little she could do. After the meeting was over Arizona spoke,

"Chief, could I talk to you for a second?"

"I know what you're about to say . But you're their last hope. They travelled all the way across the country because you're the best paediatric surgeon. You should at least try once."

"I don't know Chief. I don't think there's much that I can do. But I shall try if you say so."

And with that she left the conference room. She went up to the Ortho floor in search of her girlfriend. She quickly found her near the nurse station scribbling into a patient's chart.

Arizona went and wrapped her arms around Callie,"Hey!", said Arizona

"Hey babe, how did the meeting go? Did the chief really fire you?" Callie asked with a hint of humor

"Very funny Calliope. But no he didn't fire me instead he has a huge case for me. But seems like I wouldn't be able to do anything. The kid has gone through a lot and she won't be able to handle another surgery. She's too weak."

"Since when did the AWESOME paeds surgeon say I can't do anything about any patient? Zona I thonk you should try. Imagine if it were someone from our family or someone's friend. You should help them baby."

"That's what the chief said Calliope. I'll try but I'm not sure if she'll be able to pull off. I'll speak to the mother soon. She's a widow Calliope. I guess you're right. I should help cause that girl is the only memory she has of her husband. You're such an awesome girlfriend Cal. Hmm I love you soo much!" Arizona said kissing Callie softly on her lips.

"Well then that calls for a celebration?"

"Oh, not now. I'll go and speak to the mother and then maybe we can continue the celebration at night at home, in bed probably naked with chocolate covered strawberries. Just you and me." Arizona said smirking.

"I'll hold you up to that. Now go be awesome."

" I already am Calliope."

Neither knew that Mrs Mitchells was observing them from a corner.

"I lose my daughter, you lose your precious girlfriend, world famous Dr Robbins"
