Hey guys, I know that the readers of my other Callie and Arizona series, You Found Me, have been asking for this and was more than willing to comply. If you haven't read my series that could be considered a prequel to this story I would just doing so because it has some background information. This story won't be updated again until I finish that series; I'm only three one shots away so it shouldn't be to long. I really hope you wait for it! And other than that I just really wanted to say I hope you enjoy this!

This is prologue is written from Callie's point of view. And for timeline wise it would take place around season eight if there was to be one.

Prologue. Dark Blue

"Have you ever been alone in a crowded room,
When I'm here with you."
- Dark Blue, Jack's Mannequin

"Remind me again of how you convinced me to do this?" I can hear the joking tone of Arizona's voice as she looks at herself in the mirror.

"You didn't need any convincing at all. It was your idea." I wrap my arms around her as much as possible "Plus you know you wouldn't have it any other way." I kiss her temple knowing she'll agree with me.

"Yes, Calliope, you're right. I was only kidding." her laughter starts to fill the room and I can't help but smirk. "Kidding, you get it."

I give her a 'You've got to be joking' look. "Seriously, Arizona?"

"This is what happens when you work with children, your standards in humour go straight down the toilet." An evil grin creeps across her face.

"Hey! You say I'm funny all the time. You take that back." I say in the most serious tone possible without laughing.

"I was joking, Calliope. Lighten up." she says with a smile. "I love you, you know that?"

"Yes, I do know that. And I love you too." I pull her as close as possible and kiss her before focusing on Arizona's baby belly. "And Mommy loves you too and she can't wait to meet you in three more weeks, because Mommy and Momma are going to love you so much. When you get older we're going to make you eat your vegetables, we'll make sure you wear your helmet when you ride your bike, and we'll accept you for who you are. We're going to do all those things and so many more because we love you." I kiss Arizona stomach quickly before I look back up at Arizona.

Her pristine smile is gone, replaced with a trembling lip. Her sparkle in her eyes is gone, and replaced with tears that are streaming down her face. "Hey, hey. Arizona what's wrong?"

I sit down on our bed, pulling her into my lap and taking her into my arms. She buries her face in the crook of my neck; I can feel her hot tears running down my chest. It's killing me not knowing what's wrong, why she's crying. "You can tell me anything, you know that, don't you?" I can feel her nodding against me. "That means that you can tell me what's wrong and we figure out together, okay?" I run my fingers through her hair like she did to me all those nights I was upset.

She leans away from my neck, looking me in the eye. "I have a feeling. It's not a good feeling, Calliope. Something is wrong, I just know it. Something feels off."

"Honey, its okay you're just nervous. You've you got yourself made as white as a sheet." It was true, Arizona's usually rosy cheeks where wiped away and her entire face looked as if she'd seen a ghost.

As she begins to speak she picks up my left hand and starts playing with my wedding band. "Calliope, you don't get it. I had the same feeling the day, the day that he" Arizona doesn't finish her sentence. She looks down and focus and the rings on my finger.

I know how hard it is for her to talk about him so I don't push it. I know that it's now time for putting on a brave face. "Arizona, you're going to be fine. The both of you are going to be perfectly fine. We're going to see Addison today, and she'll tell you the exact same thing, sweetie. You know I'm going to be there for you the entire time. Just relax, Arizona." I kiss her temple reassuringly.

"Okay, I still feel like something's wrong but like you said we're going to see Addison and she'll tell us what's going on." She looks up at me and I can see the fear in her eyes, I wish I could make it go away.

I wrap my arms around her protectively, which causes her to wince. "You okay?"

"My stomach is kind of tender, it's okay." She says faking a smile.

"Okay, Arizona. Let's go see Addison." I say, knowing that it's possible that she's right.


As I open the passenger door to Arizona's jeep, I hear her exhale a deep breath. "It's going to be okay, Arizona." I give her my most convincing smile, hoping she doesn't see through it like she always does. I take her hand in mine and help her out of the car.

"Thank you." She has a look of discomfort on her face; I give her a look hoping I don't have to ask. "My stomach hurts, its just nerves that's all." She gives me a smile that was just as fake as my own.

"Do you want me to get a chair so you're more comfortable?"

She quickly shakes her head, "I can handle it." She squeezes my hand as I shut the car door after her. I hope she's right.

Something about walking through the doors to the hospital holding her hand felt surreal. I can't quite think of why but something about it seemed like I was in the middle of a dream rather than reality. But I shake it off.

As we approach the nurses' station I notice a certain redhead down at the end of the hall. I can't help but smile. It felt good having Addison here for Arizona and me. There was something about having her here that made me feel that Arizona and the baby were safe. And that was all I needed.

"Addison! Addison Montgomery!" She turns around and gives me a smile that I haven't seen on her face in years. "Come here, girl!" I can't help but chuckle, it was good seeing one of my best friends again.

As Addison starts walk towards us, I feel Arizona squeeze my hand firmly. "Calliope." Her voice is wavering and I can tell something's wrong. I look at her to find an absolutely terrified look on her face. "Calliope. I'm, I'm" The fear causes her to be unable to finish her sentence.

I look down. Her light wash pants are stained with a growing blood stain. Blood is beginning to create a puddle on the flood around her shoes. Her grip on my hand is gone before I know it. I manage to get my arms around her to catch her as we both make our way to the floor.

Her teeth are clenched in pain, as gut-wrenching cries begin to leave her mouth. My heart feels as if it's stopped. "C-Calliope, C-Calliope. I'm s-scared." She manages to get out between her cries. It's a dagger in the heart, because I can't fix this. I do the only thing I can do.

I grab her hand, "I'm here. I'm here. I'm not letting you go. It's okay." I say as calmly as possible. "You're not alone, I'm here." I kiss her forehead, because it's all I can do.

"Don't leave me." Her words are barely more than a whisper.

"I'm not going anywhere. I love you."

They are the last words out of my mouth before we're surrounded. Surrounded by reminders that tell me she'll survive this, they both will. They have to. I won't be left alone in this crowded room.
