A one-shot based on the Sneak Peeks for 9x24

Callie is making her way into the ER pit, cell phone in hand and worry written all over her face. As she scans the crowd looking for Arizona…she sees Avery walking towards her.

Callie: Avery!

Then the lights start to flicker in the Hall and few booms are heard.

Avery: I need to find Hunt, see where we are with the disaster plan…

Callie: You guys have been out of surgery for what? a few hours? Where the hell is Arizona!

Avery: I don't know. Dr. Boswell's staying up in one of the PEDs on call rooms tonight, she might know where she went off to.

Callie: Alright, thanks.

PEDS FLOOR – MOMENTS LATER

Callie is now calling Arizona's cell phone, the lights are still flickering in the PEDs wing..Callie stars checking a few on-call rooms and finds them empty. She dials Arizona's cell one more time as she heads to the last on-call room door. She then hears the faint ring of Arizona's phone. She presses her ear to the door just to make sure, she goes to open the door. It's locked.

INSIDE THE ON CALL ROOM

Arizona and Lauren are still feverously kissing one another not caring or rather not hearing the ringing cell phone over the heavy breathing and soft moans.., hands are roaming everywhere. As Lauren goes to grab hold on Arizona's neck to pull her down onto the pull out cot. Her fingers catch Arizona's necklace and it snaps off her, in between the kisses and touches Arizona feels the break and pushes back off Lauren.

Arizona: I can't…we can't..

Lauren: It's just a necklace, I'll buy you a new one…

Lauren goes to pull her into her again and they continue their assault on one another - it gets heated, it gets heavy, they go there - all the while Arizona is in a trance during this whirlwind of feverish passion the next thing she knows is that her pagers is going off…..

Lauren: Mmmm… just turn it off already.

Arizona: It's my pager. I have to …

Arizona looks at the pager and then takes a moment and looks at Lauren and the lab coats and scrub tops that have been discarded. She shakes herself and quickly picks up her top and coat and starts dressing herself.

Lauren is taking these moments to scan her eyes all of Arizona's exposed skin..

Lauren: God, you're beautiful.

Arizona now fully covered, takes a step away from Lauren and with authority says..

Arizona: Stop. Just shut up and stop. I'm married. Do you understand that?

Lauren now bows her head down knowing the moment with Arizona is over and the reality has now hit her.

Lauren: Yes.

Arizona: You aren't going to leave this room until it's time for you to catch your flight home. You hear me? You aren't to be seen, because until I know how I'm going to explain..Until I figure out what to do. I can't have you anywhere near me. You got it?

Before Lauren can even answer her, Arizona's pager goes off again and she is out the door.

ER – BUS ON FIRE

The doctors that ran outside to check out the bus are believed to still be out there. Arizona has ran down into the pit, just in time to see the explosion of the bus happen. She stands next to Owen who is watching this all go down.

Owen: Oh my god.

Arizona: Owen where's Callie! Owen you tell me right now. Was Callie out there?

Owen is still watching the massive flames and sees April in the distance screaming her head off.

Arizona: Owen!

Finally Owen turns to her, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, Callie comes bursting through the double doors with only a few cuts on her arms and face, soaking wet. Arizona rushes over to her.

CUT TO – ER Hospital Room

Callie has now changed into new clean and dry scrubs as she sits on the end of the Hospital bed as Arizona is cleaning and stitching up some cuts on Callie's arm.

Callie is watching Arizona intensely as the blonde puts all her focus into tending to the wounds on the arm in front of her. Keeping her eyes on the arm, trying to forget about the damage she herself has done moments earlier.

Callie eyes then move to the blondes neckline.

Callie: You broke my heart.

Arizona is stunned and holds still as she takes a breath in and closes her eyes…

Arizona: Callie…I…I…

Arizona locks eyes with Callie and is about to speak again until Callie's gaze shifts to her own necklace and then back to where Arizona's should be hanging from.

Arizona breathes a heavy sigh of relief for a moment.

Arizona: Oh, no I didn't break it..

She reaches into her lab coat to reveal it's still with her.

Arizona: See? The chain… it just sort of snapped off, but totally fixable.

She gives her best smile as Callie just looks down at her arm as it still bleeds a little.

Arizona: …and so are these cuts here, let me finish these up.

Arizona resumes her intense focus on the task at hand.

Callie starts shaking her head and softly starts speaking as if to herself, but loud enough for Arizona to hear her.

Callie: Busses crashing and exploding. Trucks coming out of nowhere. Planes falling out of the sky. And we keep surviving. We stand by each other and we keep surviving, don't we?

Arizona looks at Callie and softly smiles at her, her guilt forgotten for a moments as she sees the love in the eyes of her wife.

Arizona: We do. But maybe we shouldn't risk it by running into the burning busses. What were you thinking, Callie?

Callie: I wasn't. You see a disaster right in front of you and you don't think. You don't think about how it could ruin you or take away everything good in your life, you just do it and hope for the best.

Arizona: I guess..

Callie: Is that what you were doing with Dr. Boswell in the locked on call room?

Arizona: Wh..wha..what?

Callie: You just did it, right? Were you hoping that I would just understand? Or were you just hoping I wouldn't find out?

Arizona: Callie..I.

Callie: What were you thinking? It couldn't have been about me or Sofia. You were thinking about yourself, right?

Arizona: Callie..

Callie: I stayed, Arizona. Even when you pushed me away, even when you hated me so much you pushed me out of our bedroom. Even when you couldn't stand to see my face, let alone let me touch you. I stayed. For what? Was it so I could see this? For us to go through another disaster?

Arizona: I never meant to hurt you… I don't know what I was thinking, I can't explain it…All I know is that it happened and I can't.. I can't … I don't know who I am anymore, Callie. I'm not a cheater. I don't cheat. I don't. I'm … I don't know who I am anymore… But please, please know that I love you. I love you, Calliope. You and Sofia are everything to me.. please know that..

Callie takes her hands and cups Arizona's face, trying to hold back the sobs as the blue eyes before her full of tears as the blonde shakes with sobs.

Callie: Then you and I are going to hold it together and go up and be with our daughter. Because we are going to survive this storm together….

For moment Arizona is full of hope and then…

Callie:…and when the storm is over – so are we.
