A/N: This story is something I started awhile ago and I have most of it finished. If you guys like it I'll continue on from what I have already done.


Chapter 1

Standing at the nurses' station pretending to chart, Callie was watching her girlfriend. She had snuck up to the PEDS floor hoping to talk Arizona into going to lunch with her but she could see she was busy talking to a patient's family. Callie watched Arizona holding her patient, a small baby as she smiled, she couldn't wait until the day she could have a family with Arizona, she hadn't verbalized it but she knew she loved Arizona more than anything else in life, even surgery, and was looking forward to the day they could have a family.

"Hey what are you doing up here?" Arizona asked as she approached her wonderful girlfriend.

Callie was pulled out of her daydreaming as Arizona laid a quick kiss on her cheek. "I came to see if you were interested in some lunch." Callie smiled

"I think I can be talked into it." Arizona took Callie's hand and they made their way to the elevators. Arizona was on a high after just saving a patient who had survived against the odds and the amazing woman standing next to her only made things better. She was so happy to have Callie in her life; she couldn't believe sometimes how awesome her life was turning out.

"So I was thinking you get off at six tonight right?" Callie asked.

"Yup." Arizona smiled as they sat at a table to eat.

"So we should go out tonight, we have been so busy lately we haven't been out in a while."

"mmm that sounds fun, what are we doing, can we get dressed up and go to dinner… oh maybe a movie too!" Arizona said getting excited to have a night off with her woman.

"That sounds good maybe I'll kick Cristina out tonight and we can have the apartment to ourselves." Callie said rising her eyebrows suggestively.

"That sounds even better." Arizona kissed Callie, "maybe we should go to an on call room and I can give you a preview of all the things I plan to do to you tonight." Arizona suggested.

Callie stood up quickly, grabbing Arizona and leading the way to the nearest on call room.

"You are so hot." Callie said as she begin to kiss Arizona passionately as soon as the door closed behind them.

"So are you," Arizona replied as Callie begin to nip down her neck. "I want you so bad right now." Arizona quickly spun them around and pushed Callie onto the bed kissing her stomach and slowly moving her lips up Callie's body as she lifted the shirt of the beautiful brunette. Locking lips again, Callie pulled Arizona's scrub top off quickly, moaning into the blonde's mouth as their bodies make contact, tongues stroking each other's. Just as Arizona was reaching to unclasp Callie's bra both pagers begin to go off. "Uh you have to be kidding me," Arizona groaned as she reached over to grab her pager. "It's the ER."

Callie found her top and looked at her pager, "same," she said as they stood and begin to make their way to the ER.

"Twenty-eight year old male multiple crush injuries." The paramedic told Callie as they brought the guy into the hospital. Arizona had stopped moving and stood frozen in the doorway. How could this be happening, she thought he was still gone, she didn't even know he was on an assignment in the country let alone in Seattle

"Why did they page you too?" Callie asked as she moved around Arizona.

"Because she is my wife." The man stated.

Callie stopped all her movements, not knowing what to say or do.

"Cal, it's not what you think it is, but I need you to fix him, please fix him." Arizona couldn't explain to Callie - she didn't have time she could see his sats were dropping.

"You need to leave then so I can do this, because I can't, I can't do this with you in here right now." Callie said, trying to hold it together. How could she keep something like that from me? How is this even possible? No I would know if she had a husband right? She has never even been with a man we talked about this did -she lie to me. "I need an O.R. now!" Callie yelled as the interns started to push the bed out of the room.


"Callie what happened to him?" Arizona asked

"He um… He… you?" Callie asked

"No… I mean it's a…. but no just no." Callie felt her world being crushed; she didn't know what this meant. "I need you to save him Callie please, please I need you to fix him." Callie just stood there dumbfounded staring at her girlfriend not knowing what to do. "CALLIE!" Arizona yelled at the still unmoving woman.

"Uhm yeah, he um... he will be fine if we can get the internal bleeding under control his left arm and leg are crushed I will be able to save the arm I'm not so sure about the leg though." Callie said, slowly setting aside her feelings and going into doctor mode.

"He needs his leg - do whatever you have to do to save it, please." Arizona said, almost pleading.

"I need someone to sign the consent forms, who is his emergency contact?" Callie asked, secretly hoping it was not Arizona.

"I am, give me the forms I'll sign them, I am his durable power of attorney." Arizona could see the devastation on Callie's face as Callie assumed what the man said was true. "Please go and save him, he needs his arms and legs to work like normal Callie, he is a soldier - it's all he knows, he won't know how to live if he can't keep doing what he does." Now Callie really felt worse, she was cheating with the wife of someone whose life was dedicated to keeping the country safe.

"I have to call my parents and my brother, if he is here then my brother won't be far, was there any other people who came in with him?"

"No." Callie responded coldly.

"I don't get it, why would he be here without Tim." Arizona was starting to freak out now about more than just the misunderstanding with Callie.

"I have to go, I'll do what I can call your family." Callie said as she walked away.


Walking into the O.R. just as they were about to put the patient under.

"Hey doc. You gonna fix me up?" He asked clearly feeling good from his pain meds

"I'm gonna try," she said trying to keep the hurt and anger out of her voice, "Arizona went to call her family."

"Oh good, it will be easier if her parents are here. I love her so much - I couldn't imagine breaking her heart." Those were his last words before he was out.

"Okay let's do this people." Callie announced to the room. Tying to suppress all her feelings so she could do what needed to be done.

Arizona had just gotten off the phone with her parents, they were on their way, but she couldn't get hold of her brother, maybe she was wrong, maybe he wasn't back yet. At least that's what she hoping. What is he doing here and why did he have to say that to Callie, I know he was joking but still Callie doesn't know! She thinks I'm a cheater now -great, I can't deal with that I need him to be okay Arizona thought. Pacing in her office, she couldn't bring herself to go watch his surgery she couldn't face loosing him or face Callie.

"Okay nice job people lets keep observing him overnight, it looks like he will be fine though." Callie said to her intern, "I'll go inform his family." With that she scrubbed out and walked toward Arizona's office. "Dr. Robbins?" Callie said as she knocked on the door.

Arizona noticed the formal tone in Callie's voice but she couldn't deal with that right now, she needed to know how everything went. "Callie, please." She didn't know what she was pleading for, her best friend to be okay, for Callie to not be angry with her, she didn't know, all she knew was that Callie was the only one who could fix it for her.

"He is fine, physical therapy will be a nightmare but he should regain full function to both his arm and leg. He had a bleed ...it was touch and go for a while but we got it under control we have to see when he wakes up but it should all be okay." Callie said trying to remain as professional as possible.

"Thank you. Can I go to his room?" Arizona asked

"Room 204 recovery."

"Calliope I know we need to talk and we will please don't jump to conclusions before we talk. Please Calliope." Arizona said moving closer to the brunette.

Callie immediately took a step back, "I can't do this Arizona, not now, I can't be his doctor and your…. Whatever… I just I can't."

"You are my girlfriend Callie not my whatever you are the person I love, I love you more than life so please just give me a chance." Arizona said as she left the room.

There it was - the first time either one of them had said it they both felt it but neither had said it yet. Callie couldn't hold it in anymore she broke down right there in Arizona's office, this was wrong, all wrong and not how that was supposed to go, she was supposed to take her girl out and tell her she loved her and make love to her all night. But now, all of a sudden, Arizona wasn't her girl.
