"You need to stop!" Callie shouted. "I am sick of listening to your pleas and I don't want to listen to how much you love me. If you truly loved me you would have never gone to Africa in the first place" Arizona was speechless. "I'm with Mark now and we're happy" The elevator stopped and Callie walked out immediately leaving no time for Arizona to react. Arizona watched as the Latina walked away. The tears began to pool in the blondes mesmerising blue eyes.
As soon as Callie got inside her apartment she collapsed to the floor. Overwhelmed by emotion all she could do was curl up in a ball and cry.
- 4 hours later -
"Torres?" Mark whispered as he opened Callie's bedroom door. "You okay?" he asked creeping over to the bed. "Uh…yeah I'm fine" Callie whispered back trying to disguise the sadness in her voice. "I sent you like 20 text messages and called your cell like a hundred times" Mark said as he lifted the sheets and climbed in behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Sorry, I turned off my cell" Callie replied before turning onto her stomach. "Goodnight" Mark whispered kissing the top of her head. Before long Mark was in a deep slumber and Callie slipped out of his arms and headed for the door.
- The next morning –
"Blondie!" Mark shouted as he jogged down the hall. "Ugh!" Arizona groaned as she rolled her eyes and turned away. "Wait" He said stopping a few paces ahead of her. "What Mark?" Arizona didn't bother to disguise her disgust. "Do you have anything to do with this?" He asked shoving a piece of paper in her face. "Gone to Miami for a few days, tell the chief I'm sick" Arizona read aloud. "Mark, what is this? I've got patients and I'm not in the mood for your stupid games" she said as she pushed the paper into his chest. "Callie left it on my pillow before I got up this morning" Mark said folding the paper up and shoving it in his pocket. "So, what does that have to do with me?" Arizona said stepping around him and heading towards the elevators. "I saw you talking to her last night, what did you say to her?" Mark said easily matching her stride. "Not that it is ANY of your business, but I didn't say anything! Calliope told me that she doesn't love me anymore. She said that you two were together now and you are happy" Arizona pressed the up button on the elevator and concentrated on the red light above – hoping that Mark wouldn't notice the tears that had begun to form in her eyes. "Whatever. If you hear from her tell me immediately" Mark said as he stormed off down the hall.
- 5 days later –
"Blondie! You heard from Torres yet?" Mark said placing his tray down next to Teddy and taking a seat. "She made it very clear that she didn't want anything to do with me anymore the other day Mark. So how about you stop asking me for the whereabouts of YOUR girlfriend" Arizona practically shouted as she picked up her lunch and walked briskly out of the cafeteria. "Nice one!" Teddy said as she took one last bite of her sandwich before getting up and leaving the cafeteria too.
"Callie?" Teddy walked over to the raven-haired beauty. "Hi, Teddy" Callie smiled. "Where have you been? Mark has been harassing Arizona for the last 5 days trying to find out what was wrong with you and where you went" Teddy said. "What? How would Arizona know? I left Mark a note saying I went to Miami. I just needed to get away for a few days" Callie furrowed her brows "Why would Mark harass Arizona over it?" Callie was obviously confused. "Mark thought that Arizona had said something to hurt you or piss you off and he figured you would've told Arizona where you were going" Teddy looked down at her beeping pager. "Crap! I have to go – please talk to Mark!" She yelled over her shoulder as she jogged towards the stairwell.
- That night –
As soon as Mark opened the door to his apartment he knew someone had been there. "Torres?" he called out as he went through the apartment. Finally he opened the bathroom door to find Callie sitting next to the toilet with a wet cloth in her hand; she looked like she had been vomiting. "Babe, are you okay?" Mark rushed to her side and put his arm around her shoulder and used his other hand to brush a few stray hairs from her face". "Turns out morning sickness isn't limited to just mornings" Callie croaked out before emptying her stomach into toilet once again. "You're pregnant?" Mark smiled. Callie wiped her mouth, slowly turned her head and glared at Mark. "Cal, I'm really happy for you but if I stay in here with you, I'm going to be sick as well" Mark said barely looking at her before leaving the bathroom and closing the door behind him. Callie didn't bother to leave the bathroom that night. Instead she stayed next to the toilet and cried until she exhausted herself into sleep.
- 2 days later –
Arizona was washing her face in one of the bathrooms on the paediatrics floor when she saw someone rush into the bathroom. She turned around to see Callie with a hand over her mouth rushing into one of the cubicles. Arizona opened the door to the cubicle when she heard Callie emptying her stomach. "Are you okay?" Arizona said as she held Callie's hair and rubbed soothing circles onto Callie's back. Arizona watched silently as Callie made her way over to the sink to rinse her mouth out. "Thank you" Callie finally looked up at Arizona. She could see the tears welling in Callie's eyes, she wasn't sure whether to stay or go until the tears began to fall and Callie fell into her arms. Arizona just stood there holding her while she wept.
