"Callie, please open the door" Arizona knocked again. There was no answer. She needed to explain herself to Callie. She had made a mistake and she had to fix it.

"I'm sorry. I can't even begin to explain how sorry I am. I don't recognize myself. I know this doesn't change anything but I need you to listen to me, one more time. Please Callie!" she knew Callie was home. She sat on the floor and she waited, with tears running down her face. She thought nothing in her life would be more painful than losing a leg but then there was Callie's face when she opened that on call room door.

She had been sitting there for a long time. It was always her standing outside the door trying to apologize for something. And it was her fault, she knew that.

"It has been a week Callie, please open the door. Let me in. I live here too." Arizona heard footsteps and she got back up. The doorknob turned and she saw Callie for the first time in a week. She expected her to be crying but Callie had a smile on her face.

"You don't live here anymore. You lost that right. This is my house and I only share it with my daughter…"

"She's also my daughter!"

"No, she's not your daughter! You didn't think about her when you were with Lauren, did you? Did you remember you had a wife that was worried about you because hell was breaking lose and I didn't know where you were? No, you were busy cheating on me!" Callie exploded. In the past months she had been keeping everything to herself because she didn't want to hurt Arizona. But right know she wanted her to suffer, she wanted her to disappear and never come back.

"What are you doing here anyway? Is your new girlfriend gone?"

"She's not my girlfriend!" Arizona didn't want to cry. She had no right to do it.

"Well, from what I've seen I think you could call her that. Was it easy for you? Because it took you five months to let me touch you again but then there were you, ripping her clothes off like there was no tomorrow."

"I know you're hurt and…"

"You don't know a thing. What have I done to deserve this? I was by your side the whole time even when you were blaming me for everything that happened to you. But I loved you and I wanted you to be okay, I wanted my wife back. I guess that was a battle I was destined to lose" Callie watched as Arizona tried to stop crying.

"Don't cry. You brought this on yourself. I hope you're happy." Arizona took one last look at Callie before she closed the door. She stood there waiting for something to happen while Callie's words were replaying in her head:

"She's not your daughter"

"But I loved you… I wanted my wife back"

"Karev …" Arizona looked up from her charts when she didn't get an answer.

"Dr. Karev, are you hearing me?" Alex's eyes shot up to meet Arizona's glare.

"What do you want?"

"I need to know if the exams from the Morrison kid are ready."

"I'm not a freaking intern. Go ask someone else." Alex turned his back on Arizona and started walking away.

"Just stop right there! That is no way to talk to your superiors. I demand respect" She was surprised to see Alex laughing while looking at her.

"You demand respect? I'm sorry but I can't take that seriously. Your wife also deserved respect but well… You know how the story goes."

"You have no right to talk about my personal life…" Arizona was angry. She didn't need anybody remind her of what she had done.

"As a matter of fact I have because Callie is my friend. She is the one I have to respect. She put up with every crap from you in these past months. You even blamed her for cutting your leg off when I was the one holding the scalpel. I hope she finds someone better than you… but then again that's not very hard, is it?" Alex started walking away again leaving behind a shocked Arizona. She didn't know what to say. She didn't have anyone to talk to, everyone was judging her. She was no longer a good man in a storm. She was no better than George or Erica.

"So how are you feeling today?" Addison had been calling every day to check on Callie. She was worried about her friend but she couldn't catch the next flight for Seattle because she was working in a very important case.

"She was here yesterday"

"Why didn't you call me? How was it?"

"She said she was sorry but I didn't let her talk too much. Just her voice alone makes me sick" Callie adjusted herself on the couch and looked at Sofia who was playing with some toys on the floor.

"Did she try to see Sofia?" Callie could feel the anger in Addison's voice.

"I told her she was not her daughter anymore."

"You know I'm not the best person to talk about cheating but I've learnt from my mistakes and I would never do it again. I'm in a happy place now. But I can't stop feeling that this is different. Derek didn't love me anymore, our marriage was doomed. But Arizona… you were trying to help her get back on her feet… Sorry, let me reformulate this sentence." Callie laughed genuinely for the first time in days. She wasn't laughing at Arizona. But Addison had a way with words she would never be able to understand.

"Sorry, please continue."

"As I was saying, you were trying to help Arizona being her old self again and she throws everything out the window because of a blonde bimbo… Sorry, I know Arizona is also blonde." Callie laughed again. There was no better therapy than talking to Addison.

"I may need to change my hair color Addie. Izzie was blonde, Lauren was blonde… There must be something wrong with me."

"I'm a redhead, I have no soul. There's nothing wrong with you. You are a latina, you're hot."

"Okay, stop. You're making me cry from laughing so hard" Callie was cleaning some tears while trying to hold the phone at the same time.

"I'm going to get some sleep. I get back to work tomorrow and I need my strengths. Thank you Addie, for everything."

"Shut up, you don't need to thank me. Get some sleep and I'll call you again tomorrow. I love you."

"I love you too Addie". Callie hung up the phone and picked Sofia up.

"It's time for you to get some sleep, baby"

"Mama, I want mama" And there was it again. The laughter from moments ago forgotten and she could almost hear her heart breaking again.

"It's just you and me now, mija." She kissed the top of Sofia's head and got up from the couch. Another long night awaited her.

I'm sorry again for every mistake I may have made. I hope you've enjoyed this second chapter. I'm not very good at writing dialogues in english because in portuguese we have a different way to do it.
