CHAPTER 1

Sleepless nights seem to be a staple attribute in the lives of gifted surgeons, especially those who care deeply and unconditionally about their patients. Arizona Robbins is one such surgeon. As she lay there staring at the ceiling waiting for slumber to overtake her body, she replays over and over again the surgeries of the previous day. She thinks about the baby girl she was forced to deliver at 30 weeks due to a teratoma on her neck, this was by far the smallest baby she had operated on in a long time.

Mark Sloan had insisted on scrubbing in with her, Arizona found this completely unnecessary but conceded when remembering that Mark is not only a plastic surgeon but an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon. It couldn't hurt to have another experienced surgeon assisting her, and Mark turned out to be very useful during this procedure. For such a big guy he really does have a steady, delicate touch. She knows this because Mark has been shadowing her for the past week and a half, scrubbing in on her surgeries, helping her with a particularly difficult diagnosis and just generally loitering around in her vicinity. Come to think of it she can't recall a case in the past few days that Mark hadn't been in some way involved in and she wondered what was up with him. As she lay there contemplating all the possibilities of why Mark Sloan was surgery stalking her she hears Callie's voice break her thoughts.

"Sleep!" she hears the gorgeous brunette cry out to her. Arizona looks over at her girlfriend who is sprawled out messily on her stomach facing the wall, she had recently had to get used to sleeping next to someone who takes up the entire bed, someone who hogs the covers and intermittently talks in their sleep. She thought about ignoring Callie's outburst, not wanting to get into another sleep taking conversation that would confuse Arizona and of course that Callie would not remember in the morning, but instead she answered softly.

"Did you say something?" Arizona whispered placing her hand lightly on Callie's back, hoping to get no answer so she could go back to her contemplating.

"Yes. Go to sleep Arizona" Callie spat out, remaining in the same position.

"How did you know I was awake?" Arizona questioned with a smirk on her face, still not one hundred percent certain that Callie wasn't talking in her sleep.

Callie abruptly rolls over onto her back and looks right at Arizona. She was definitely not sleep talking. "I can here you thinking. The whole of Seattle can hear to thinking" Callie shoves a pillow over her own head as if to drown out the sound of her girlfriend's ticking brain and Arizona begins to giggle.

"It's not funny Arizona. You're driving me crazy" Callie says as she throws the pillow that was covering her head at Arizona. She shoots her girlfriend a stern look but can't keep a straight face when she sees the stunning blonde giggling softly and holding her sides as if to keep herself from exploding. Callie begins to giggle too and the more they look at each other the more they giggle until they can't hold it in and their giggles become hearty laughs.

Suddenly they hear a loud "BANG! BANG!" on the wall behind them and then a very cranky Cristina yell at them "SHUT UP YOU FREAKS!" Callie and Arizona snuggle up to each other and try to suppress their laughing until they hear a loud thud followed by a man's throaty laugh. Cristina had fallen over something lying on her bedroom floor whilst on her way to the bathroom and the man's voice they heard was Owen Hunt. Both Arizona and Callie burst into fits of laughter once more until they are startled into silence by the sound of their bedroom door being swung open. They both jump up and notice a dishevelled Cristina standing in the doorway rubbing her shin.

"You're going to pay for this. You hear me Torres?" Cristina screeches as Arizona nudges Callie and laughs. Cristina points an angry finger at Arizona.

"You too Roller Girl" are the last words Cristina shouts at them before leaving the room and slamming the door behind her. They stare at the door in shock for a moment before looking at each other and collapsing back onto the bed laughing once more. As the laughing subsides Arizona snuggles up to her lover who is now lying on her back leaving room for Arizona's body to meld into her own and she notices Callie's breathing deepen and her body become relaxed as she drifts off to sleep. Arizona realizes in this moment that now that she was used to all of the eccentricities of Callie's sleeping patterns, she found it hard to sleep without her there and with this thought she drifts off to sleep easily.
