Hey everyone! I only have like two stories with Callie and Arizona in them, and I'm pretty experienced in writing Emaya, but I love both couples and I thought of this idea so I just wanted to write it. Hope you enjoy!
Maya smiled as she and her fiancé walked hand in hand into Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. They had both just graduated from medical school and were now starting their residency training. "Ready to meet like 12 other people fighting for this job?" she asked the taller girl, laughing a bit. "Relax babe. I am fully confident that our abilities are better than the others. We wouldn't have been allowed to graduate med school early if they weren't," Emily promised. The two walked back to the room they were told to go to and stood anxiously in the front, tightening their grip on each other's hands. "Alright, everyone settle down," a stern but gentle voice caused the small chatter that was going on in the room to cease as everyone looked up to see a tall red headed man walk in.
"My name is Dr. Hunt, and I'm glad to see so many of you here today. As you all know, residency training is the final step to becoming a surgeon, and not all of you will make it. Every few months there will be evaluations. If you don't make the cut, you're out. Only five of you will finish this program. Today will not be anything spectacular. You won't be saving lives, and most likely you won't even be performing surgeries. You are to listen to everything that you are told. If you disobey we have the right to cut you from the program if we wish. Now I know not all of you are here for the same specialties, so a member of each branch of surgery is going to guide you," with that a few more doctors stepped into the room.
"Alright, if you are attending for pediatrics, follow me," an averaged height blonde woman called. "Well that's me babe, I'll see you tonight," Emily smiled, kissing her fiancé briefly on the cheek and following the blonde out of the room. No one else went with them. Over the next minute or so a few more specialties were announced. "Alright, orthopedics, you guys are lucky enough to be with me," a tall Latina woman smiled. Maya followed her out of the room. She, like Emily, was the only resident in her group. The shorter girl cast another glance back at the room, took a deep breath, then followed the doctor in front of her to the elevator.
"Well, I guess you are the only one in this field, so you're chanced are already better than the others," the blonde woman smiled at Emily. "I'm Dr. Arizona Robbins," she introduced, holding out her hand. "Emily Fields, nice to meet you," the resident shook the doctors hand generously. "So what made you chose Peds?" the blonde asked as she led the intern down the hall. "I don't know, I guess I just always had a love for kids. I've known since I was 16 I wanted to be a surgeon, and this just fit," the swimmer explained. "Well it'll be nice to have a new face around here," Arizona laughed. Emily grinned and nodded.
For a few hours they walked around the floor, the doctor showing her intern where everything was and explaining some basic surgeries that we're going on. The surgeon gave her a few tests every once in awhile, and the intern passed each one with flying colors. "You really paid attention in medical school didn't you?" Arizona chuckled. "Aren't you supposed to?" the athlete responded. "Well, you certainly know your stuff," the older woman complimented. "Thank you Doctor Robbins," Emily smiled. "So, I can't help but notice I see a ring on your finger. Are you engaged?" the blonde asked with a wink. The swimmer blushed and nodded. "Who's the lucky guy?" the surgeon asked. However, before the intern had a chance to answer, they were interrupted. "Dr. Robbins?" a taller man suddenly walked frantically up to the pair.
"Alex what's wrong?" she asked, suddenly getting worried. "We have a problem, Jason Parker can't breathe he's suffocating," he explained quickly. The blonde grabbed her intern's hand and pulled her through the hallway. The three entered a small room where indeed a boy was in his bed suffocating. "Alright I need you to get a mask ready now," Arizona instructed, looking over at Emily. "I need you to help calm him down, there's something wrong in his chest," she informed her. The resident nodded and made her way to the child's bedside. "Hey, it's going to be OK, it's alright," she comforted him, taking his hand and rubbing his arms gentle. He looked at her frantically and looked down at his chest. "It's going to be alright, you're in good hands," Emily continued, rubbing the boy's back softly.
Suddenly she saw what looked like the boy's chest was being hit from the inside. "Dr. Robbins there's blood in his lungs," she realized. "Oh my god Alex she's right," the older woman cried, pushing the boy down on his back and holding up a thin blue curtain that Emily knew was to prevent him from seeing what they were doing. She continued talking to the boy in a soothing voice and keeping him calm. Within about an hour they had stopped the bleeding and Jason was stable again. He had fallen asleep and they had just finished sewing his skin up. Emily sat in a chair by his bedside watching as they finished the last stitch. "I want to thank you," Arizona smiled.
"For what?" the resident asked, squeezing the little boy's hand gently. "For helping calm him down. That's always a hard job, but you were great. I think you'll make a fine pediatric surgeon someday," the blonde complimented her honestly. "Thank you Dr. Robbins, it means a lot to hear that from you," Emily responded. "Well it looks like we can call it a day," the older woman noticed the time. "Really? Wow that went by fast," the swimmer laughed. "Well hey, time flies when you're having fun," the surgeon chuckled.
Maya watched intently as Dr. Torres cracked a man's bones with her bare hands. "Wow... You must have had quite some practicing," she complimented. The Latina woman smiled and broke another bone. "Do you know which bones I'm breaking?" she quizzed the intern. "Yeah, the femur, the tibia, and the fibula, right?" the musician answered. "Another test passed with ease, well done," the surgeon complimented. "Thank you Dr. Torres," the resident grinned. "Any specific reason you chose ortho?" the older woman asked, cracking another bone.
"Well, my brother was once in a really bad car accident and broke most of his bones, and an ortho surgeon saved his life. By then I already knew I wanted to be a surgeon, and I guess that just helped me choose what I wanted to specialize in," Maya explained. "Well your chances are definitely better than the other interns, considering you are the only one in this field," the surgeon informed her. "So what are you prepping him for?" the artist questioned, standing up and watching. "He has a tumor that needs to be removed in his leg. Actually, I think we're good to go. Want to come watch?" Callie asked with a smile. "Definitely!" Maya responded instantly. She followed the doctor to a small O.R. where two other surgeons stood waiting.
As she explained how they were going to remove the tumor, the musician stepped back and watched the surgery in awe. After a few hours she already understood everything they were doing and why. She just happened to look at the man's fibula and noticed it was slipping downwards. If it hit one of their hands it would cause them to completely mess up and the tumor would sink deeper into his body. Acting quickly, Maya threw on a pair of gloves and ran to the surgeon's side, holding the bone up and out of her way. "Good catch St. Germain, thank you," the older woman thanked the resident and the artist nodded. A few more hours passed and the doctors had finished the surgery. "You did good in there today kid, you're a promising intern," the surgeon complimented to the musician. "Thanks Dr. Torres, that really means a lot," Maya smiled. "Of course. You deserve it," Callie smiled.
"Well, I guess I better be heading home," Arizona sighed as she and Emily walked towards the front of Seattle Grace. "You sound disappointed about that," the swimmer noted. "I guess I'm just tired of spending all my nights in bed watching old TV shows," the blonde attempted to laugh but the athlete could see the hurt in her eyes. "Did something happen recently?" the intern questioned. "I just... I'm just getting over with a divorce... And it's been hard," the surgeon admitted. "Well that's horrible. And you don't need to sit at home all night. Come out with me tonight. My fiancé and I are going to this bar we heard about for the first time. I'd like you guys to meet anyways, and it would help keep your mind off things," Emily offered with a smile.
"You sure you want me to come?" the blonde asked. "Of course Dr. Robbins," the resident grinned. "Thanks, I have one last thing to take care of and we can go. And I know that I am kind of your boss now, but we're done with work today, so call me Arizona," the older woman informed the swimmer with a smile.
"So you're sure you don't mind if I come?" Callie asked as she and Maya walked towards the lobby. "Of course not! Dr. Torres, I don't want you sitting home alone all broken up about your divorce! Besides, I want you to meet my fiancé anyways," the musician explained. "Alright, I have some papers to finish up, and I'll meet you guys at the front in a few minutes. But the day's over, call me Callie," the surgeon informed her intern. "Alright, see you soon," the artist smiled and walked up to the front, grinning widely when she saw her fiancé looking at her phone. She walked up behind the taller girl and wrapped her arms around her from behind.
"Guess who?" she whispered in the swimmer's ear. "Hello my love," Emily giggled, turning and placing a gentle kiss on her lover's lips. "So, hope you won't be mad, but I kind of invited someone to come with us tonight," Maya started. "Well I can't really be mad cause I invited someone too," the athlete chuckled. "Chief of Peds?" the musician guessed. "Yep, and I'm gonna bet your invite is the chief of Ortho?" the swimmer giggled. The shorter girl nodded and kissed her fiancé softly on the lips. "Emily?" the two broke apart at the sound of an older woman's voice and turned to find a blonde walking towards them. "Dr... I mean, Arizona, hi!" Emily grinned. "This is your fiancé?" the surgeon asked, both surprised and pleased. "Yeah, is that... Uncomfortable for you?" the athlete questioned.
"No, I'm a lesbian... I just didn't expect you to be," the older doctor laughed. "Well then-" the swimmer was interrupted by another woman's voice. "Maya?" the girls turned to see Callie walking up. "Hey Callie," the musician greeted. "Wait, your fiancé is a girl?" she asked, noticing the couple's linked hands. "Sorry if that's... Weird to you," Maya looked down. "No not at all... I'm bisexual..." the surgeon trailed off when she saw the blonde woman. "Arizona?" she asked, trying to keep her voice calm. "Callie, uh... Hey," she responded nervously. "Oh you two know each other?" Emily asked, looking at the to older women. "Yeah, uh, we, yes," Arizona answered nervously. "Is it still OK that we al go together?" Maya questioned.
"Sure, that's fine," Callie answered before the silence got too long. "Great, then come on," the artist grinned. The four made their way out of the hospital and down the street. "So what bar are we going to?" Arizona inquired. "Some place called Joe's, have you guys been there before?" Emily asked. "Yeah, most of the hospital staff has been there lots of times," Callie answered. "Cool," Maya grinned. She kissed her fiancé on the cheek softly and the couple smiled at each other, getting so lost in each other's gaze that they didn't realize the uncomfortable tension that was brewing between the two women behind them.
So? What did you guys think? Please review and be honest, I appreciate it! Thanks!
