Arizona POV
I remember a time when my life was awesome, it may have been for a short while but I remember it, Now it feels like my life is crashing down around me and I couldn't stop it if I tried, Riley has Leukaemia with a little survival rate, and Calliope was shot she was fucking shot, Police say it was wrong place wrong time but how does a fire fighter get shot? because people can be animals that's why
''Mom I don't like these needles they make me feel sick all the time'' Riley complains to me and my heart breaks for him
''I know buddy but they.. they'll make you better'' I say as I kiss the top of his bald head, He lost his hair not long starting chemo, it never really bothered him he kind of likes it says it makes him look like 'highsburg' I laugh as I reminisce I can remember coming home one day and Callie was watching Breaking Bad with Riley, even though I told her loads of times not to but she says it's 'their' favourite show
''If it makes me better why don't you give it to Mama? make her better then she can come see me... I miss her mom'' He says with a sigh
''It doesn't work like that baby, Mama needs different medicine to you, but she'd be here if she could and she loves you Riley''
''Too the moon and back right?'' He murmurs with a grin
''That's right Riles, are you feeling Okay?'' I ask
''Hmmm.. sleepy and sick.. how long left mom?''
''Not long, I promise'' I say as he rests his head on my shoulder
*Flashback*
''I.. I don't get it.. Did we miss something, was it something we did?'' Callie asks pacing back and fourth
''Cal.. It just happens sometimes babe, there's no way to explain these things'' I try and calm her
''But.. But why him?! Why is our son sick! It's not fair! it's not fair Ari.. I-'' and then she breaks, like I've never seen her break before and I feel helpless because nothing I say is going to make her feel better
''Baby you need to breathe or your gonna pass out'' I say rubbing her back ''Please.. try and calm down and then We'll go and see him yeah'' she just nods at me whilst trying to steady her breaths
*End of flashback*
Riley has been asleep for a while now and Mark is staying with him as I go and check on Callie, It's been a week since they brought her in and she's been unconscious since, she was shot in the chess when attending to a house fire in one of the 'ghetto' side of town's house, Mark was with her on the call and saw it all it's shaken him up, he still apologises a lot to me saying he should have seen it coming and all that but it's like the police say, wrong place wrong time
Cristina say's that there's a lot of damage done but the bullet just missed the heart, practically skimmed it but she won't be able to tell what the long term is until Callie wakes up, and my wife waking up doesn't look to hopeful either, life right?
''Hey You'' I say as I hold my wife's hand ''It's about time you woke up don't you think, Riley and Ellie ask about you all the time but I don't know how long I can keep seeing them like this Cal... And I think Mark needs you to wake up too so you can tell him it wasn't his fault, he does everything for us cause he.. blames himself'' I say as I wipe away a few stray tears ''And.. I need you to wake up Calliope, I need you to come back to me I can'r loose you, do you hear me I've almost lost you too many times now, you'd give a fucking cat a run for their money! so just wake up!.. P-please'' I sob and then I hear the one sound I didn't want to hear, The heart monitors go wild and before I can do anything the room is filled with doctors, nurses surgeons the whole hospital by the looks and then I feel arms around me pulling me out of the room.
baby you should stick around...
