She looked up from the crying little girl. There in the door way stood the reason why the whole hospital was on locked down, the reason why this little girl couldn't get into OR.

He looked stunned

"There are only children here." Arizona cried shielding the child, the fear in her voice put Callie on edge. She stood, and slowly approached the man.

"They, they shot me." He gasped, shocked that he was injured.

Callie walked toward the man "Mr.." She trailed off, hoping that he'd answer her question.

"Clark" He replied.

She grabbed a few gauze pads from the tray next to the bed, she babbled off the basics when it came to stopping bleeding. She reached for his open hand, where the loaded handgun sat. Sound of the little girls cries filled the room, and the hushed voice of Arizona.

Arizona Callie thought, This gorgeous woman who I love, who I was just fighting with is now in harms way, this guy could kill her he could take her away from me forever."

Her eyes wide, suddenly she stomped on the mans foot then grabbed the pressure point on his wrist causing him to drop the for the few moves her dad showed her when she was young. She kicked the gun behind her and tried to bring him to the ground. But the man was stronger than she was and she lost control of his hand.

"You're going to regret this bitch." The shooter said pulled Callie into a headlock, using her as a human shield. He could get pass the SWAT team now using her to block anymore bullets. Callie felt a sharp pain in her side and his hot breathe against her ear.

"Move again and the next thing I'll cut will be your throat."

Arizona whispered in the little girls ear as she stood up. "Don't move whatever you do."

She then slowly turned around to see the situation that was unfolding. Callie looked at her with fearful brown eyes. There was a knife against her throat, this man had hate in his eyes.

"Calliope" She gasped.

"Come any closer and I'll kill her, I'll do it, I already killed the chief." His words washed over the two women, Derek was dead and they were next.

"Just-just look away Arizona, It's- I'm okay." Callie begged, her plan had failed and now both of them might have to pay the ultimate price.

"Just do as he says, I love you."

Tears were streaming down her face, she wasn't sure if this would be the last time she would see Arizona, every event that led them to this point seemed so pathetic. What she wanted now was to hold the scared blonde, even if it meant giving up the idea of children, she didn't need them for as long as she had Arizona and she needed her alive.

"Take me, and let her go, she's harmless she's done nothing to you." Arizona spoke with anger and authority in her voice.

"You're a doctor aren't you?" He sneered

"Let her go." Arizona demanded.

Callie's brown eyes peered into Arizona's she wanted to tell her she was sorry, that she just wanted to protect her. Arizona's once soft blue eyes were now hard with anger and hate, but when she looked at Callie for a moment they flashed to fearful and sad. They couldn't lose each other, not like this, not with so many things left unsaid.

Arizona took a deep breath then looked at Callie one more time, she nodded the looked at Mr. Clark again.

Her movements were fast and flawless, from her lab coat pocket she pulled out the gun that he had dropped when Callie attacked him. It had slid next to her giving her the chance to grab it and hide it. She aimed, she pulled the trigger just the way her father had showed her. The firm grip on Callie suddenly became loose as the shooter fell to the floor, she turned towards him watching him fall to the ground, a single gunshot wound to the head. She then looked towards Arizona and ran to her as the small blonde fell to her knees, the gun dropping besides her. Callie met her on the ground and pulled her into a hug.

"Arizona! Arizona, look at me are you okay? It's okay now he's gone, you-you saved me." Callie said trying to shake the woman out of her daze. She moved her eyes from the dead man on the floor to Callie, she put her hands on her sides.
"Calliope I thought he was going to kill you." Her voice was barely a whisper

"He was baby, I'm so sorry I thought I could have stopped him, I didn't want him to hurt you." She kissed Arizona's temple bringing her closer to her, but then winched at the pain

"You're bleeding" She said as she looked at her hands from where she held on to Callie.

"I'm okay, I'm okay." She said standing the blonde up. "You need to help her Arizona." Callie said looking at the little girl who was now screaming.

Arizona nodded then turned around, Callie limped to the other side of the bed, holding her side trying to stop the bleeding. She sat down next to the little girl, and with her free hand led hers.
"I want my mommy!" Ruby screamed
"I know you do." Callie said surprisingly calm "But until she can get her you have the best doctor in the world with you right now, yeah Dr. Robbins in the best doctor, in this entire hospital I-I think in the whole world, yeah people feel so much better after she helps them. Sometimes people feel better after she walks into the room because she has got this super magic smile." Callie stopped and looked at Arizona who was holding the small girl, tears streaming down her face. Ruby had calmed down now and watched Callie " Yeah when she smiles at you everything gets better, you don't know that because you have your back to her right now but she's giving you, wow, she's giving her best super magic smile." Callie smiled at Ruby then looked back up at Arizona "Isn't that right Dr. Robbins?"

"Yeah" She whispered trying to stay strong for her patient "That's right Ruby I am."

The sound of boots running down the hall enter filled their ears, as the SWAT team swarmed into the small exam room.
The women threw up their hands as the men enter, one bent down to the body laying on the floor. "Dead" He called out, then grabbed him by the arms and dragged him into the hallway, a trail of blood followed him. One of the officers came over to the doctors, who were now standing next to each other.

"We need to get her out of here, her appendix is about to burst." Arizona told him

He nodded and motioned for two of his men to take her out of the room.

"Go with them to transfer her to the ambulance bay, then head to the police tents, we need to get a statement from you both."

The girls nodded in agreement and started to pack Ruby up, As they exited the room Callie put her hand over Ruby's eyes so she didn't have to see Mr. Clark laying in a pool of blood in the middle of the hallway.

The sun was bright as they left the hospital. They were told the whole hospital was closed and everyone was getting transferred out. Ruby would be okay, she would go in to surgery right away. The two doctors wished her good luck before the shut the ambulance doors and watched as it speed away.

Callie turned to look at Arizona, she wanted to tell the blonde how much of a hero she was, how she was sorry and wanted nothing more then to be with her. But the adrenaline was draining form her system, and suddenly her body remembered that it had been stabbed and she had lost a lot of blood.

"Callie?" Arizona said looking alarmed at her

"I -I" was all she managed to say before her eyes rolled into the back of her head, and her body went limp. Arizona rushed and caught the taller Latina before she hit the pavement, and slowly brought her to the ground.

"HELP SOMEONE HELP!" She yelled franticly, then remembered the blood she had seen earlier. Quickly she lifted Callie's scrub shirt to see the stab wound. She took off her lab coat and applied pressure to it, the cut looked deep but she wasn't sure how deep, or if it had punctured any of her organs.

Arizona put Callie's head on her lap and sat hopelessly crying as the woman she killed a man for bled out on the sidewalk outside of the hospital. The hospital that was like their second home. All of her skills as a doctor were over come by her need to be a girlfriend.

"Callie just stay with me, please, please Calliope" She begged as she touched Callie's motionless face. She held her tightly and let the wave of emotion wash over her. The last thing she had said to her before a man with a gun came into the exam room was that she didn't trust her, all because she liked both men and women, and now Callie would die thinking she hated her. Arizona was shaking with emotions, and let them consume her as she buried her head into Callie's neck and let her tears wash over her. She had killed someone, her patient might not make it, Callie was dying in her arms.

She didn't see the paramedics rush over to them, or feel them as they carried both of the doctors to the ambulance, she was numb, she was lost.
