AN: Hello everyone, new story here. Please don't hold it against me that I never finished my other two stories.. but the pairings are quite old now and I just can't get into them.. although one day I want to finish them. I love Grey's Anatomy and I've been watching it ever since it began almost 10 (yes TEN) years ago! Disregarding the current storyline… I love all Callie and Arizona pairings so here we go..

I have a rough idea of this story but feel free to message me any ideas/suggestions.. I am well and truly open to them. Also I have no beta, so any mistakes are just small ones I hopefully. Hope you enjoy!

Callie hurried down the hallway from OR1, head down, in search of the nearest on-call room she could find. She had just finished a long six hour surgery which had resulted in the death of her favourite patient, 9 year old Abigail Thomas. After a long week, and four deaths within the period of the day due to a school bus crashing, she had seen enough, and wanted to be alone as soon as possible before anyone could see the tears threatening to fall.

She rounded the last corner to the on-call room when she crashed into something hard and went flying onto her back, crying out in pain.

'Oh my god, I am so so sorry. I wasn't looking at all. Here let me help you..'

At this point, Callie looked up through the tears in her eyes to hear where that smooth voice was coming from, only to be met with the piercing blue eyes of the blonde beauty above her, concern etched onto her face. 'Huh?'

The blonde beauty scrunched her face up before kneeling down beside Callie. 'I said I'll help you up?'

Callie immediately sat up, not without feeling the pain in her back, to see the amused faces of nurses and patients who had gathered after hearing a commotion, and Callie knew immediately that the gossip would be spread throughout the hospital like wildfire within the next hour.

The blonde beauty stood up and reached her hand out for Callie, pulling her up once she had taken her hand, and positioning her on the bench that was set against the wall. Callie smiled but soon rubbed her back after feeling the pain once again shooting through her.

She looked up when she head the person beside her clearing their throat, 'again I'm so sorry, I knew something bad was going to happen on my first day, and your upset and now I've made your day worse and you'll think I'm such an idiot because when I'm nervous I ramble…'

Callie touched her arm, much to the other persons delight, and with a slightly amused face, decided to put a stop to her rambling, as she was too drained to let her carry on, 'it's ok honestly, we all have bad days right, clearly', pointing to her eyes, 'this is one of mine, but at least you didn't leave me on the floor, cos that would have been really bad. I'm Callie Torres, Ortho', sticking her hand out for the blonde to accept.

Smiling, she shook the hand back, 'Arizona Robbins, Paeds'.

Arizona halted for a second, 'hold on, Ortho… as in Calliope Torres, world renowned rock star with a scalpel Calliope Torres who rebuilt the legs of that little girl'.

'It's Callie, and yeah, you could have said that before today'. Callie faltered, and the tears came back, which Arizona was quick to see. And although Callie hated for anyone to call her Calliope except her father, because he would do so whether she liked it or not, Callie liked the way her name had rolled out of Arizona's mouth.

Arizona reached over and placed her hand on Callie's arm, 'hey, are you ok?'

Callie got up and tried to leave before her tears turned into sobs, yet when she went to turn around to get to the on-call room, the pain made it almost unbearable and she fell back against the wall, only for Arizona to catch her and stand her up, 'where can we go?' she whispered to Callie.

Arizona struggled to hear but heard the sad voice of Callie tell her to go to the on-call room. Arizona led her down the hall, arm around her waist for support, other hand rubbing Callie's arm around her neck, and opened the door to the on-call room, and proceeded to sit her down on the bed, making sure she was comfortable before sitting back beside her and taking Callie's hand in her own.

'So, I know this has been a very bizarre twenty minutes of our lives, but I've been told I'm a really good listener, so if you feel comfortable, please do talk to me'.

Callie's sobs started to calm down and she leaned her head against Arizona's shoulder, 'I'm sorry, this it absolutely the worst first impression to ever give someone', and with that Callie gave a small chuckle, before sitting up against the wall and rubbing her eyes, 'she died today'.

'Who died?'

'The little girl whose legs I saved. I just spent six hours in an OR working on her legs only for her to die because of a stupid rupture that should never have happened. Oh god her poor parents, oh my god I haven't told them, oh god, oh god..'

'Callie, calm down please. Honey, you know this, you've got this. Here, come on, let's stand up', and with that Arizona stood up, slowly standing Callie up and wiping away her tears.

'You go out there and be that rock star I've heard about, and you tell the little girl's parents there was nothing you could do, and then you go and make sure your back is okay. You've got this!'. Arizona smiled, and Callie hoped she would see that smile again, because to her, it was the only ray of sunshine she had seen all week. Not wanting Arizona to be unappreciated, Callie wrapped her arms around her and brought her into a hug, 'thank you so much, you don' t know what it meant to me', and with that pulled away, walked to the door, and before she turned the handle to leave, looked back at Arizona and smiled, 'I hope I see you and those dimples again Arizona, thank you!', and with that she left, in search of little Abigail Thomas' parents.

Twenty minutes later, Arizona found herself walking past a conference room to see Callie talking with a man and a woman, who after seeing them choke up at the news they were currently being given, assumed they were the parents of the little girl. As the parents comforted themselves, Callie looked out the window and saw Arizona, giving her a small smile before turning back to the parents to explain exactly how they had just lost their only child to an operation that was meant to help her walk.

Sooo, I'm not sure about this.. but please do leave any criticism, I really would like to know what you think!
