As Arizona looked down and tied her shoelace the light caught her wedding ring. She stared at it for a minute before the woman sat on the bed behind her moved. What had she done?

"Arizona."

She stood and walked away from the bed.

"This was a mistake. I can't believe I... Oh God Callie."

"It's okay."

"No, she's never gonna forgive me."

"She doesn't have to know; I won't tell her."

"Maybe you're okay with this but I... how can I look her in the eye after this?"

As the reality of what she had done grew in her mind, the room began to spin. Arizona ran out of the room and started walking. She didn't know where to go. It was still night time but the hospital was busy because of the storm. She lost herself in the crowds until Alex paged saying he needed help with a patient. The rest of that night and day she avoided everyone she could. Especially Lauren. Especially Callie.

Eventually though her wife found her and started to walk towards the nurse's station where Arizona was charting. The blonde ran into the bathroom and locked the cubicle door. She leant her head against it and tears began to roll down her cheeks. Callie had followed her.

"Hey honey; are you okay?" The silence on the other side of the door made her really worried. "I know this can't be easy. The power going out and everyone panicking."

"It's not that."

"Then what?"

"I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"It was a mistake."

"Okay seriously Arizona, open the door."

Arizona watched her shaky hand as it moved towards the lock. She heard the sound of her wedding ring on the metal. She had to tell her. The door opened slowly and it broke Arizona's heart to see the concern on Callie's face.

"It didn't mean anything. I'm sorry. It was a mistake."

"No." Callie began to realise where this was going. "No." She repeated.

"She didn't mean anything."

"Who didn't?"

"Lauren. She didn't..."

"Don't you dare. Maybe it didn't mean anything to you but... I can't." The Latina felt like she'd been punched in the stomach. "When?"

"Last night."

"That's why you disappeared. I was worried!" She'd started yelling. "How could you do this?"

"Calliope..."

Slap. Callie's hand hit her wife's face like a whip. Arizona put her hand up to sooth the blow as her tears started afresh.

"Don't call me that. Not anymore. I can't deal with this right now."

And with that she was gone. The blonde locked the door again and slid down it till she was a crumbled miss on the floor.

The two women avoided each other until the storm passed and they could leave. Lauren kept her distance too. Callie collected Sofia from day care and took her back to the apartment not sure of what was going to happen. She couldn't believe her Arizona had cheated.

The lights were off in the apartment apart from their bedroom. She put Sofia in her room; with all the disruptions of the last few days she was already asleep. Then she went to the other room and found Arizona packing a bag.

"Typical." Callie whispered to herself but her partner heard her.

"I'm not bailing."

"Sure looks like it."

"Do you want me to stay?" Arizona looked up and into Callie's eyes. She took the silence that followed as a no. "You need space. I'm trying to make this easier for you."

"Not sleeping with someone else would have made things easier."

"I'm not so sure." The blonde said under her breath.

"What the hell does that mean?"

"Nothing. I'm gonna stay at Alex's for now; until we figure out what's going to happen."

"You think we can figure this out?" The Brunette was almost insulted by the very idea.

"Fine well until I sort myself out then." She zipped up the bag and through it over shoulder. "Can I say goodbye to Sofia?"

"No."

"Callie..."

"No." She interrupted. "You didn't care enough about this family to stay faithful so you don't get to say goodbye."

Arizona lowered her head and walked out of the room, past Callie and towards the door. Before she opened it she turned back around.

"I get that you hate me and maybe you always will. I don't even have an explanation for you but even if you never forgive me, I need you to know that I really do love you. I'm sorry."

Before her wife could respond Arizona left.
