Note: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING ALL RIGHTS GO TO THERE PROPER OWNERS! This is my first fanfic, ever. I've acturally pretty happy with it, but please be nice on the reviews, since this is my first one. To be honest I don't even know how to work the site yet, so I hope this works. There will be Chapter 2 in the coming days (I only have school for 3 days this week then I have winter break, so Chapter 2 will be on it's way very soon) I hope you like it!
"Callie, do I really have to go today, can't we reschedule?" Arizona whined, not wanting to start the process of getting her prosthetic leg fitted.
"Arizona, please just try" Callie replied back. She hated seeing her normally bright and bubbly wife like this. These past few months had been so hard for Callie, losing her best friend Mark, Arizona constantly taking strikes at her for what happened, she wasn't sure how long she could take this.
The ride to Seattle Grace Mercy West was silent, Callie wasn't fully awake yet since Arizona wanted a morning appointment so no one would see her practicing with her prosthetic. Arizona was thinking over how the appointment would go and was acturally quite nervous. Callie and Arizona walked through the front door, and Callie placed her hand on Arizona's arm, hoping she wouldn't move away
"Good luck babe" Callie said as they took separate paths after dropping Arizona off at her appointment.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Ethan Clark, and I'm here to fit you for your prosthetic." The kind doctor said to Arizona. "Don't you work here too? I think I've seen you around"
"Yes" Arizona said quietly. "I'm the Head of Pediatric surgery".
"Oh yes I've heard of you Dr. Robbins, well let's get started shall we?" Dr. Clark said noticing how quiet Arizona was.
Dr. Arizona Robbins smiled for the first time in months through tears as she stood up on her prosthetic. It took her a few times to find her balance and she actually managed to fall, but she got back up. She told the doctor slowly about the few problems she had with it. Dr. Clark just smiled and said "Okay, we'll get it all worked out. Then we can start physical therapy."
Arizona was feeling well enough to cook dinner, as she was setting the table, her wife Callie came home.
"Hey, you made dinner!" Callie said, smiling to herself hoping the appointment went well.
"Yeah, well I can still cook, and I wanted to surprise you" Arizona said, as Callie kissed her cheek, and didn't move this time.
"So, um how did your appointment go?" Callie asked cautiously as they sat down. Arizona took a deep breath, "I fell, and I felt embarrassed, but Callie, I got back up. "
Arizona started to tear up "I looked at myself in the mirror and I was standing on my own for the first time in months".
Callie was starting to tear up too, feeling so happy. "This is working" Callie said to herself. The pair ate dinner, and Arizona invited Callie to sit next to her while they watched TV. This was progress.
It would be a while before Arizona went to bed with Callie again, but just sitting next to her without arguing was enough for both of them. American Bake Off was over and the only thing left was a lingering silence.
"I should be heading off to bed" Callie said sleepily. "Callie" Arizona said suddenly, "Good night, and thank you".
"Thank you for what?" Callie asked as she turned around and looked into her wife's big blue eyes.
"For putting up with me"
