-Present Day-

"Calliope! Baby, can you hear me?"

Arizona ran alongside the gurney holding the unconscious body of her lover. She was frantic with worry as her heart's rapid beating threatened to cut off her air supply.

"You can't do this to me! Please wake up! Calliope?"

"BP is elevated, 160/110, 30 systolic. She's unstable! The baby could be in distress! Let's get her to a room!"

Dr. Miranda Bailey's clipped and authoritative tones cut into Arizona's thoughts and shattered any and all semblances of reality. How could Callie's base line blood pressure be so high? It had been elevated when she'd checked it at their home a few hours earlier, but to have raised so quickly? The new information only suffocated her all the more. Something was wrong. Terribly wrong.

Continuing to run beside the hospital gurney with Dr. Bailey and the paramedics, Arizona's mind worked in overdrive to understand what was happening. As a doctor herself, she knew what everything meant medically. As the partner, the lover, of the woman whose life hung in the balance, she found that she couldn't make sense of anything.

"Dr. Bailey, her BP was 140/90 a few hours ago. She's been complaining of heartburn and headaches, but that's common. She had abdominal tenderness and that's when I decided to bring her in, but she...she... Did we miss something? Did I miss something?" the blonde doctor asked. Her mind was reeling. She was trying desperately to remember every minor ache, pain, or disturbance Callie had experienced the past several weeks.

Throwing open the door to an avaliable exam room, Dr. Bailey quickly started to check Callie's vital signs.

"Arizona, I'm sure you've done everything you can. This, right here, has nothing to do with anything you did or did not do. " she said curtly.

Listening to the Latina's faint pulse, she looked up with worried eyes and briefly looked at the woman standing in front of her.

"Her pulse is weak. The baby's in distress! Somebody page Dr. Montgomery. Now!"

Arizona couldn't believe what she was hearing. She could barely fathom what she was seeing. Several machines that had been monitoring her lover's life signs started to beep in a cacophonous symphony of dire consequences.

"She's coding! Where is Dr. Montgomery?" Bailey yelled. Seeing the scared and lost expression in the blue eyes of her colleague, Miranda continued. "You need to leave, Dr. Robbins. You can't be in here. You know that. Go! I'll take care of them."

"Calliope! You listen to me! This isn't how things are supposed to be for us! You're a rockstar and you're going to be an amazing mother! Don't let this win..."

"What do we got?" a new voice sliced through the chaos of the room.

Miranda glanced up and a wave of relief washed over her face. Addison Montgomery was standing behind Arizona and pushing past her to read Callie's stats from the machine above her head.

"BP is 160/110. It's elevated from 140/90. Pulse is weak. Baby is showing increased heart rate. Pittng edema in the hands."

"She's pre-eclamptic." Addison said. "Let's push one of magnesium sulfate to stabilize her. We can give her steroid injections to promote the baby's lung maturation once she's no longer critical."

Everything was a haze of confusion. Nurses and orderlies were running in and out of the room. Machines were screaming loudly at anyone who would listen. Dr. Bailey and Dr. Montgomery were running their hands and several instruments over Callie's body while, at the same time, continuing to check her and her unborn child's vitals.

" Dr. Montgomery? She's bleeding vaginally. The baby's isn't receiving enough oxygen."

"No, no, no...this...no. Do something!" Arizona yelled.

No one was doing anything! Everyone was content to just stand around and swap Callie's and their baby's vital signs around. Callie was bleeding, her pulse was weakening, her BP was through the roof and their child wasn't receiving enough oxygen and what were they doing? Nothing!

If Callie was pre-eclamptic and was now losing blood, everything pointed to just one thing. Arizona felt her heart stop beating in her chest. This couldn't be happening to them. Life couldn't be taking away everything it had bestowed upon them. It couldn't. She'd risked everything to be with Calliope Torres. Everything. They were supposed to be happy. Their life was supposed to be perfect.

"Get her out of here!" Addison yelled.

Arizona felt her body being removed from the room but she fought against the hands on her shoulders. She couldn't leave them. She wouldn't.

"I can help! Let me help you save her! Please! Addison! Don't let her die...please! I can help...I can...Calliope!"

The blonde's words came out in a rush of air and tears. Her breathing was choking off the larger parts of her sentences and her tears were making it difficult to keep her eyes on the woman she loved. When she'd been removed from the room, her body slid to the floor. Before the door fully closed, she heard Addison speaking to Dr. Bailey.

"...placental abruption. We need to try to stabalize them if we're going to have any chance of saving them both."
