So I've been secretly shipping Jo and Callie since season 9 ever since she flirted with her to get in a surgery, and I gotta admit, they're cute together. And after watching the episode "You be Illin'" I got the feels of writing a fanfic so, if you don't like the idea of Jolie (Callie&Jo), then it's cool. Don't know where I'm heading, but it'll hit me as I type. If you're intrigued like I am, then read on! The time period of this fanfic is when Callie and Arizona took some space, but here they broke up and Arizona is now with Lauren (I know, gross, but it needs excitement) I took some of the scenes Callie and Jo had from the surgery they were having on the last episode to emphasize their relationship. (If you see Williams instead of Wilson, totally my fault.)
Another day, another pain. Callie thought. Ever since the storm passed and Callie caught Arizona and Lauren together that night, she felt nothing but miserable. Of course Mark was there to cheer her up, but it will take a long time for her to get over what the blonde threw away. Sofia's comfort made her feel better sometimes, but Sofia was exactly like Arizona. All the traits she got weren't from Mark and her, but from Arizona. So now, every time she sees her daughter, who was now crawling to her mother's bed, it reminds her of the person who she wanted to forget, who she wanted to shun for the rest of her life but can't, all thanks to a freaking storm and a leg. She sighed before she could open her car, but was stopped by her best friend who was grinning right in front of her. "Good morning Torres, I can see you're having a great morning!" He grabbed Sofia from the back seat and kissed her everywhere he could possible kiss, "And good morning to the cutest baby ever! Who's the cutest bayba evaaaa? Juuuuuu are!"
"Can you drop her off the day care? Tonight's her night, and I don't want to see her," Callie requested still not changing her terrible mood.
Both Mark and Sofia faced Callie with an acting pout, "Looks like mama has to get laid Sofia, yessss and sooner that's right baby!"
Callie threw a smack on his arm, completely forgetting that he was holding Sofia. "Mark! Sofia can hear you!"
"So? It's not like she can understand me?" Sofia giggled looking right at his dad who was now shocked.
"See, she has the Torres brain, she can perfectly understand you smart one," their conversation was interrupted when Callie's pager went off and listed 911, "I gotta go, it's an emergency."
Right when Callie got to the emergency room, it was filled with teenage boys who were whimpering due to their broken bones and spilling blood everywhere. Callie smiled, a great way to start a morning, something to fill her mind with, and lots of surgery to do. She walked over to the nurses' station and looked at the labs, "What do we have here?"
April Kepner came running with excitement filling over her smile, "Today's the national skating competition and it's just great!" She looked around the room and saw boys whimpering while some already passed out due to the lack of morphine, "Well maybe just for us, and not for them, I should go help."
Callie laughed at the innocence the attending had to offer, "Yeah you go do that." Right when she got to the nearest patient, she saw a blonde enter the room with enthusiasm. She can see the motivation she was having as she entered one of the rooms in the E.R.
Reality hit Callie when she remembered that her ex-wife was a pediatric surgeon and for every boy she has to fix, a pediatric has to be there. Great, just what she needed. Alex was out of town and there was no one else besides Arizona who works for children.
Another brunette came rushing in the room with a smile cracking on her lips. Her, there was no rule for a resident to attend a surgery without an attending of the same field. Jo, Jo had to be the perfect pediatric out there to help her. "WILSON! Call for an O.R. you're scrubbing with me!"
Right when they got to the scrub room, the place was quiet and both women were patiently scrubbing their selves. Callie hated awkward silence even if she didn't know the person. Well, it wouldn't be awkward if Jo hadn't flirted with her a week ago just for a surgery, which makes her curious if the resident was a lady lover. She got pulled back from her thoughts as she finished scrubbing. "Clear your plans today Wilson, you're scrubbing in with me for every surgery, c'mon, we got a surgery to kill."
After thirty minutes of stopping the bleeding, it was now time for Callie to drill over the broken bone, but first, she had to break it. She decided to give the other brunette the hammer, but Jo hesitated to grab it from the Latina. "What are you doing?"
Callie laughed at the resident who was now stood a back from the patient. "Uh...you're going to break the bone? What else?"
"Really?" Jo asked hesitantly.
"Yes, really," she grabbed the right hand of the brunette that was holding the hammer, "So what you're going to do is hit it, hit it HARD."
She shook her head while laughing, "No! This is just, it's just wrong! I'm not in ortho!"
"Oh c'mon on, don't be a winnie."
Jo inhaled and hit the scrapper in a medium weight. Of course nothing happened since it was too soft for the bone to adjust. "Is that all what you've got Wilson?"
"I can't!"
Callie stared at the resident who now looked embarrassed, "Look, you're stronger than you think!"
"I'm stronger than you think! I put guys in the hospital before," the resident argued.
"Yeah, I know. The guy from O.B.?"
"And the two guys before him!"
Callie gasped but couldn't help but to smirk under her mask ultimately impressed at the brunette. "Wow, okay, WOW."
Jo sighed and continued talking, "Exactly, I can't do this Dr. Torres! I don't want to hurt people, I want to fix them."
"Well...this is the only way to fix them! And it's an easy fix! Look Wilson, that's the nice thing about ortho. All of them are easy fixes, but...they take strength and power that not a lot of people have...or the fearless-" Callie was stopped from her speech when a hammer hit the scrapper hard enough to break the bone. "Wow...see!"
Jo dropped the hammer on the tray demanding some more. "So what's next?"
Callie stood with an eyebrow raised effectively impressed at the resident who was now interested at ortho, "What's next? Uh next..." She grabbed at the drill that was sitting on the tray beside her and gave it to the brunette, "We drill!"
The whole day went from back to back surgeries whereas Callie and Jo had a lot to talk about. Callie learned a lot from the brunette, which brought her to a good mood. Unfortunately, Arizona had to disrupt their third surgery to disagree with what Callie was doing which made her furious but Jo made her calm down precisely. Even the residents saw the bond the two were having but gave no further attention to them until lunch came along.
Callie was sitting alone eating her sandwich till Mark Sloan came and took the empty seat with his tray. Jo could notice that the Latina's stress melt down when he sat down and accompanied the woman. She observed her body from head to toe, no skin missed.
Jo herself, had no idea what she was doing checking the older woman, but she found it amusing to see how mysterious the Latina was. She felt a light jab from her ribs causing her to look the other way seeing her friends laughing at her. "If you stare at her for too long, she'll probably melt," Leah teased.
She turned around and stared at the Latina who was now laughing with her mouth open enjoying her conversation with Mark, "It's not like I can do something else." Before anyone could speak, they all noticed the sudden move Mark and Callie made. They were now squinting at Jo's table trying not to be obvious but surely the other table was spying on them too. Jo leaned in and whispered as quietly as possible, "Uh...why are they looking at us?"
Shane scooted forward and scratched his forehead before he spoke, "I kinda told Dr. Sloan that you have a crush on Dr. Torres. Now before you kill me, let me ex-" before he could finish his explanation, he felt tight hands pulling him from the rim of his collar and down on the floor, not even noticing dozens of eyes luring at them. "PLAIN JO!"
As the two got in the nearest on-call room, Jo didn't even wait for Shane to get back on his normal heart rate, she stared him down finally wanting for his explanation. "EXPLAIN!"
He stood up and patted down his shirt and laid on the nearest wall he found, "Dr. Sloan and I were just enjoying our surgery till he asked about the residents and we shared some secrets now and then till yours slipped. I DIDN'T-"
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT SHANE? YOU KNOW HE HAS A BIG MOUTH! AND MOST OF... HIS BEST FRIEND IS THE WOMAN IN THAT SECRET!"
Before she could do anything else, her two friends came rushing in finding Shane completely pale on the floor with Jo ready to kill him any second now, "Now now, we don't want to kill our nice, friendly, nosy friend here Jo. He can be used for something else other than filling a space in a morgue."
Leah nodded and walked over to Shane who looked like he was about to pass out on the floor, "And besides, we need him on the times we run out of tampons."
Jo fell directly on the middle of the bed with both of her hands covering her face. "What am I gonna do now? She knows..." She felt a vibrate coming from her waist, looking down on her pager she already knew who it was. "And now I'm about to face her."
Callie stared at her sandwich reminiscing at the same meal Arizona would order her when they used to be together. She didn't know why she ordered it, but she remembered how she used to love the taste of the hospital's tuna sandwich. Even though she's trying to get rid of the old habits she used to make with Arizona, eliminating the sandwich was not on her list. Another minute passed by and the meal was not yet touched by the brunette, she rather had it lay on the table just right how she dropped it the first place. Not a moment later, she sees the seat in front of her taken by Mark who was now confused at why his best friend was having a staring competition with her meal. "You know...maybe if I stare at it too, it'll melt."
Before Mark could blink, the Latina grabbed the sandwich and quickly took a handful of fries and stuffed it in her mouth all at the same time with no pauses in between. He laughed once again causing for the brunette to laugh with him but with her mouth open showing the complete view of the munched meal Callie had. He stopped in disgust taking the vision of Callie's mouth away from his mind. "Keep it up and your future girlfriend will never be your present girlfriend Callie."
She paused, completely shocked at what Mark had just told her. She dropped her sandwich on the tray and cleared her mouth by using a napkin and cleared her throat. "Future girlfriend?"
Instead of saying another word, Mark turned around and looked directly at the resident's table who he found staring at the same direction the two were. "You know who I'm talking about."
Right when Callie shifted her eyes on the other brunette who had just leaned in the table, she became astounded as a peaceful scene became completely violent in a short moment. All eyes were now focused on Jo who was dragging Shane out the cafeteria. All Callie could do was laugh and find how adorable the little surgeon was. "And where did you get this information?" She brought her attention back to Mark who shrugged completely covering for the source of this secrecy. She took a second to think about it and well...Jo was a tough woman which Callie found attractive in women. But was she ready for a new love life? Before she could sink in to the new discovery she just found out, her pager went off startling her from her day dream, she looked at it and in fact Jo would be there. "My carriage awaits in the E.R. don't wait up."
It didn't take too long for Callie to get into her patient's room. When she got there, she already saw the whole action happening but with Jo doing all the work. She felt proud, proud that a resident can revive a patient in a short matter of time. Back in the days where Callie was a resident, she would usually have to do CPR for at least 20 minutes before she would call it. She felt like giving Jo a hand, which she did and caused for everyone to pat Jo in the back and quietly left the room having no other reasons to stay there leaving Callie and Jo alone with the patient. As the last person got out, Jo was the first one to speak. "You didn't have to do that."
She walked over to the patient's labs and scribbled some information while she looked back at Jo who was now checking his monitors. "You deserve it...not a lot of us have the magic touch like you do Wilson." She looked back finding light brown eyes staring at her own, not breaking the connection the two were having.
"I'm sorry about what happened-" she was stopped by the patient coughing and finally sitting up from his bed. He looked directly at Callie asking what just happened and took the Latina a couple of minutes to explain. Before Callie could leave the room, she slipped a note on the resident's hand and left the room without looking back.
Meet me tonight at Joe's 9 p.m. -C
Jo watched the clock moving on its slow pace and felt like the time itself was going slower. Ever since Callie gave her that note, she's been counting down the hours she can clock out and zoom in to Joe's. Of course she didn't want to sound overly excited about the invitation, but deep down she was. She knew the invitation was nothing but to congratulate her for saving her patient's life and nothing more. Jo knew not to get ahead of herself and just calmly get over her adrenaline rushing on her nerves. As the time ticked on 9, she stormed off the nurses station and quickly went to the residents room and changed. The next thing she knew, she was standing in front of the bar catching her breath. She could feel the loud beat coming from the speakers and people talking. She took another minute to gather herself, and reminded her self conscience that it was just a celebration of her great job.
She looked around to search for the Latina as she entered and found her sitting by the bar already drinking. As she got closer, she could hear the brunette talking to herself, "So I guess you started without me."
Callie turned around reminding herself that she invited someone to come along with her tonight. "Well, I thought you were coming sooner Jo," Callie hissed. Jo could notice the alcohol was already controlling the Latina. Behind her were a dozen of shots that laid empty beside her purse. She felt nothing but empathy for the woman, mostly because she had a crush on her and seeing her in pain was plain horrible. "Look Wilson, you have nothing to worry about. It's-s okay that you like meeeeee. I mean...who doesn't? Well...I-I know who...my stupid o'l ex-wife named Azona Ribbons! The stuped Pedrotics sorgeon in Settle Gruce. She's prubably duing the naaasty with her new giiiiirlfriend named Louren Bossssswell infront of my dauuughtor Sofa."
Within seconds Callie fell on Jo that made the two of them collapse on the cold hard floor. Good thing the bar was dark and no one noticed the women fall except for Joe who helped them up. "Yeah, I should go drive her home." Getting Callie in her car was the hardest thing she have ever done. She never knew moving a body to one place to another was the most weight lifting exercise a person could ever do. Now and then she would hear Callie murmur but the words were too blurted to understand what she was saying. She drove back to the hospital planning on seeing Mark somewhere but turns out he was flying out the city for an organ transplant. She had to go directly at the chief's office to ask for Callie's address which she got quickly.
When the two arrived at Callie's apartment, it took a lot of weight for Jo to carry her up the elevator, which she was thankful for. When they finally got to apartment 502, Jo forgot about one thing...Callie's keys. She tried looking for the keys but she remembered that Joe took them just in case Callie decides to run off. She started freaking out till Callie reached for the knob slowly and turned it which led them to a nice quiet apartment. "Wow..." she whispered.
She helped the Latina get into her room and lay her down as she took off the woman's shoes. She saw Callie flip to the other side of the bed which suspected was her side and the vacant used to be Arizona's. She felt bad. Bad that Arizona took all the good things Callie used to have, happiness. That was something a lot would have to be done to get it back. Every time Jo gets the time to observe Sofia and Callie together, all she could see on the Latina's eyes were sadness, reassuring her that she sees Arizona every time her daughter was in sight. She wished that she could be the person that could bring those sweet smiles the Latina used to own. The person that could learn form her how to be a great doctor, but she knows it will never happen. She's not over Arizona yet and hell she knows she would never have feelings for a younger woman. Looking back at her watch, she realized it was too late to drive back home. She was on-call and it's only a couple of hours left till she has to drive back to the hospital. She went out the Latina's room and headed to the couch and silently fell asleep within minutes.
So there's an introduction of my the fanfic. Lots of ideas popping now and then, but I hope you guys like it!
[Here's a funny joke. In Grey's Anatomy, the first girl they introduced us with Arizona was her date named Julie. If you mix Callie's name and Jo's name it would be JOLIE. Hahaha see what just happened? ;) ]
