Song:
All Fall down- One Republic
Arizona had been having a bad day. One of her long term patients was deteriorating fast and she no longer had control of the disease, there's only so much medicine can do. Callie was also giving her the silent treatment over a small row over breakfast. She knew it wasn't anything serious, but right now she needed a shoulder to cry on.
She was making her way over to ward 6, to where Alicia was. She was going to tell her 10 year old patient and her father that after years of fighting, cancer finally won. She, perky, bubbly, Dr. Robbins had to tell her father that his daughter, not long after her mother, was going to die. That in a matter of weeks she would be dead.
She walked into the room and the sight she saw broke her heart in two.
Alicia was sitting on her bed with her father facing her. They were playing scrabble and she must have spelled a long work as she threw her hands up and squealed in victory. She looked so happy and positive and content.
She felt like an evil monster, an intruder into their happy, safe lives.
After giving Alicia a high five Robert, her father, noticed Dr. Robbins rested against the doorframe, staring intently at Alicia with sorrow in her eyes.
This wasn't a good sign. No. He knew this by experience. He knew the day Dr. Robbins shared the news that there was a mass found in Alicia's brain. The day Dr. Shepherd said it was back for a second time.
Yes, he knew this was not going to be good.
He stood up and kissed Alicia on top of her head, not giving away the dread he was feeling in the pit on his stomach.
"I'll be right back baby girl."
He walked out the stood, with Arizona following behind.
She led him into the nearest on call room to have some privacy.
"Mr. Rumary I-" She started but was cut off.
"It's Robert, please."
"Robert, I'm…I'm afraid it's time. The cancer has spread to her liver, and it's too far gone to operate. We have tried everything we could, if you want you could request to take her home for a while so you can-" She was cut off again.
"How long?" His tone was firm, but she couldn't blame him. She wasn't sure weather to answer him or leave him to think.
"Dr. Robbins, how long?" This time his voice was raised as his eyes filled with tears, anger beginning to show through his tone.
"With the medication she's on now, it could be 2-3 weeks but that's without complications. I'm sorry Robert, I could talk to her if you'd like?"
"If I'd like? Why the hell would I like to tell my ten year old daughter that she's going to die? No, you're not going to tell her anything because she's not going to die. I'm NOT going to let you kill her! You're going to march back into that room and you're going to tell her that everything is going to be okay because you're going to do everything in your power to make her better. Understood?"
"Robert you know that cannot happen. We have tried everything we could, there is nothing more, medically, we can do. You have to undertsa-" And for the third time she was interrupted mid sentence.
"No! Dr. Robbins. If she dies you have her blood on your hands, you will have killed that do you want that Arizona, do you want to that?" He started moving closer and closer, backing her into a corner. She felt so small. Deep down she thought he was right, that it was all her fault and she had let Alicia down. Tears began to form in her eyes.
At that moment, Christina interrupted and saw the situation.
"Um, Dr. Robbins, I need you for a consult, now."
Mr. Rumary stepped away from Arizona at the moment and began to walk out the door, not before turning to Arizona with unshed tears,
"Don't let her die Dr. Robbins. Do not let her die or you will pay."
With that comment, he walked past Christina, leaving a distraught Arizona. She took a deep breath while letting a small tear run down her face. She didn't wasn't to show Christina her vulnerability, but she couldn't stop the helplessness she was feeling.
She slid herself down the wall and put her face in her knees, then she felt a pair of arms wrap round her. She was quite taken aback by Christina's sudden car for her, but she didn't mind it either.
"Arizona, are you okay? Do you need anything?"
"Calli...Calliope. Get me Calliope… Please." She couldn't say anything else, but all I knew is that she wanted Calliope close to feel safe again.
It had been a few minutes since Yang had paged Callie, they knew it wouldn't be long before she was rushing in the door, since she paged her 911.
"So… you wanna tell me what happened with that mad man?" Arizona presumed her sensitivity would soon wear off, and the questions would begin.
She was just about to answer when a tired looking Callie burst through the on-call room doors.
"Yang, what's wrong? Arizona? Oh my god are you okay? What happened, are you hurt…?" She gave them no time to answer before she was kneeling beside Arizona, checking over her.
"Christina, you paged me 911…?"
"I'm sorry; I didn't know what to do... Arizona was upset… and she was asking for you… anyways I'll leave you two alone." And before Callie could ask for a better explanation, she was out the door.
"Arizona, baby, are you okay?"
Arizona lifted her head, showing her red rimmed eyes from sobbing. This was enough for Callie, as she pulled her into a tight embrace.
Arizona hung on for dear life. She didn't want to let go from this, just stay in her lovers arms forever. Smelling that sweet scent that was pure Calliope. For a few seconds, the occurrences that had just happened were forgotten. But only for a few seconds.
