The Detective 2
there will be talks of medacations in this chapter and I will ask that you keep in mind that I am not a doctor lol.
But I did look it up and from my understanding hyrocodon is the same as lortab.
Now I say this now because it important to the story BUT you just have to wait to see why. Because it may disapper at the end of this chapter its not gone like pollen it comes on strong in the summer then the cooling rains wash it away but you just know its coming back, your just not sure when.
Callie
I can swear that was a look of hunger on Arizona's face, the way she licked her lips. I can see the living room from my shower and I saw her walk across to the small bar that we had. She had on a pare of baggy gym sweats and a sports bra. Showing off her long torso and amazing abs. When she backed up i quickly looked away but I watched her through the veil of my wet hair.
Her blue eyes widen and she licked her lips I wondered what she was thinking about to get that when I reached for my body wash to find it empty I saw my own reflection.
"She can see me." I whisper
I never knew that, I never before took a shower with both my bathroom and bedroom door open. Now here I am thinking about the look that was on her face and how she couldn't look me in the face. and a smile covered my face.
"And here you thought Arizona was straight." I say
Arizona never said anything about dating anyone and I never assume anyone is anything I just went with it. If I couldn't be with her I'd be her best friend and when time came I would be happy for her and not let her see that my heart was breaking.
I turned off the water and wraped a towel around me,I made quick work of putting something on before going to meet her in the living room.
"So what did..."
"Melanie set us up." She says quickly.
"Melanie? Nurse Melanie, My kinda girlfriend Melanie? Thats not funny Arizona." I growl at her.
I know she's not lying, she would never lie about work or the way she says her name lets me know she doesn't like her. She never did and now I know its because she wants me and we had...
"Shes been in here." I say
"What?" Arizona looked up at me.
"when you left and I pulled up, you was talking about the case and a lead. when you left she said she had to pee I was going to change for dinner and I pointed her to the hall bathroom. when I came out she was in your room. Thats my I was so mad when you got back it pissed me off that she was in your room I didn't think much of it because I didn't see her looking at anything."
My stupidity nearly got Arizona killed and a little girl lost her life.
"This is my fault." I say.
"Calliope no this isnt your Fault."
"Yes it is I should have said something."
"Callie wait here just sit and don't move."
I was freaking out but I did as I was told.
"Addison I need you to get here as soon as you can." Arizona says
She pulled up the security cameras on the laptop. she went back two weeks and found what she was looking for. There on the screen was Melanie going through her dresser. She pulled out a file and I knew what it was, Arizona never brings work home but that just happened to be the time she does.
"Callie this isn't your fault s stop thinking it ok you had no idea that she would do that, you couldn't have known." She says
"But that means that person was watching me, and I let her touch me. With those hands those hands that made it possible for a monster to do horrible things to those babies."
"Shhhh its going to be fine Calliope I promise." Arizona says pulling me into her arms.
"I got a little girl killed how can you want to touch me?"
"Because its not your fault and because I love you."
I froze before looking up at her.
"You love me?"
"Yes I love you I have since day one, well I knew it wouldn't take long for me to fall completely in love with you. But that Saturday I knew for sure."
its one thing for me to know that Arizona was crushing on me, but to know that she loves me, that was more than words.
"I understand if you don't feel the same and when everything is all sorted out I will go back to see if its not too late to get my apartment..."
I cut her off with a kiss, it was the best kiss I have ever had in my life. I knew from this one kiss I was and am forever going to be addicted to Arizona. Nothing in the world will ever change that.
"Oh wow." Arizona says when we pull away.
"I dont want you to go anywhere, I want you with me at all times when we can spare the I could I would attach myself to you and never let go." I say softly looking into her blue eyes.
She popped those dimples at me and that was it for me. I went to kiss her again when the sound of the key in the door stopped us.
"Hey." Addison says walking in with River and Phoenix
"Hey what's with the bags?' I ask
Pipes busted in my apartment building again along with it taking out the power. I was hopping I could stay here til its fixed." She asks
"Sure you can take Arizona's room."
"Callie we are close but not that close." Addison says taking off her vest.
"I know I mean you can move in here, that place is a dump now that you have new owners." I say
"I plan on sleeping with Callie tonight and for the rest of my life."Arizona says.
Arizona
For the rest of the night Addison kept giggling at us with this big goofy smile. Since meeting Callie I talk about her all the time and Addison has spent many hours in a locked car listening to me. She always told me that I should just tell her.
And I finally did, the worst night of my career turned into the best night of my life. And when we all settled own Callie and I had our first argument 3 hours after our was pissed that I wouldn't kiss her anymore, but I was scared to the what ifs popped into my head when I had to take the medication I was given.
I know I know.
But you can't blame a girl for being careful.
But now, now I lay in bed with the most amazing and down right perfect woman known to mankind. I started to think back to the first date she went on after we became friends.
Five Months ago
"What are you doing here?" Addison asks walking over to her desk
"Callie has a date." I say looking through the file.
"I dont get you."
I look up into the blue grey eyes of my best friend.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you are a badass Detective you've been shot beat up by men twice your size if not bigger. You've been in fires shoot outs a plane crash and you cam to work with food poisoning, and thats all since working with me. I'm sure a few more things happen in New York, but my point is after all those things and facing down Monsters every day you still cant tell her how you feel." She says
Addison sat back in her chair and ran her hands through red hair before pulling it back into a ponytail.
"I can't she hasn't shown any sign that she even likes me Addison, I'm not going to make an ass of myself."
"Maybe she would if you didn't hide the fact that you are gay."
"I'm not hiding everyone here knows I gay."
"You're hiding it from Callie."
I opened my mouth to say something when my cellphone went off.
"Hello Detective Robbins." I say not knowing the number.
"Arizona?"
"Calliope?"
"Arizona please help me." She says
She sound strange and far away from the phone.
"Callie whats wrong where are you?"
I was already up and out the door with Addison right behind me.
"I don I don't know."
She was getting quite.
"CALLIE TALK TO ME...Where was you last?"
"Ummm a place a place called Ringers."she says.
I knew that place it looked great from outside but it was nothing but trouble once your inside.
" Ashton Locked me in a room she said not to make a sound."
"Ringers Addison the bouncer locked her in a room.
"I can't breath Arizo..."
"Callie...CALLIOPE!?"
Addison flipped on the flashing lights as we flew through the streets of Seattle. And as we pulled up so did our back up, I dont even think I waited for the car to stop before running through the door.
I pushed my way through the sea of people not sure where I was going. I'm sure I kicked in every door in this wannabe restaurant before finding Callie laying on the floor.
"Please dont do this please I love you please stay with me." I say doing CPR
There was never a sweeter sound as Callie gasping for air at that point.
"Arizona!?" Addison called
"Back here!?"
I gathered Callie in my arms and ran her out side, I didn't have time for them to fight there way in with the gurny.
"She need oxygen." I say
"You go with her I'm going to get all this under control." Addison says.
Present Day
"What are you thinking about?" Callie asks.
"About that horrible date you went on..That was the first time I said I love you out loud." I say then kissed her head.
"Oh god I thought I imagined that, that maybe you only said that because you thought I was dieing." Callie says sitting up
"NO I meant it...Wait you heard me?"
"Yes."
"Five months and you heard me why didnt you say anything?" I ask
"Really." she says
Callie gave me a are you shitting me look.
"Yeah I didn't...Ok thats my fault."
Callie just curled up next to me and kissed my cheek
"We are quite the pair aren't we." She says into my neck.
"We are."
"I was so scared that night, I never thought a place like that exested." Callie says after a moment
"Sex clubs oh yeah, I've been after that place for months a that time."
"Who the fuck thinks being drugged makes sex better, and why the hell was it set up like that?" Callie asked
"Stupid people think that, and it hard to prove anything when they mask everything as a restaurant. They have a special night for there special members. You walked into something unknowingly and the bouncer did the right thing by locking you away." I say pulling her closer.
Callie
I wish I could say that Arizona and I had a chance to enjoy our new found relationship, but work pulled me out of bed shortly after we woke. I really wonder what people are thinking sometimes really I understand that people do all kinds of things for charity but this really?
Addison and Arizona are off trolling the city and trying to keep people calm with the hundreds of idiots on bikes zipping through the streets.
"You know this is the third year in the row that I have set the same arm on you." I say to the woman
"Its for charity and maybe if you say yes to a date with me this wouldn't happen." She says flirting with me.
Every year her and her boyfriend well now husband come into the ER and every year after putting them back together and shooting down there advances I send them home.
"One do not blame this on me two you have a husband and I don't do men. And Three and the most important of them all I have a girlfriend, one that I'm sure would not be happy about you too hitting on her woman." I say
"Oh shes more than unhappy with them."
I turned to see Arizona standing just outside the door.
"OMG WHAT HAPPEN?!" I yell
She had some kind of bar jammed through her shoulder.
"Rico Suave here and his wife slammed into me and Addison going about 45 mile per hour. Addison got a few cuts and a broken wrist says Jo and I got his handle bar in my arm. They had to cut the rest off so add burns to that." Arizona Growls at them.
"Sorry."
"Really 'sorry' is all you got?!"
I had to jump infront of Arizona.
"Arizona come on lets get you looked at." I say gentlly moving her away from them.
I knew the second i got a good look at it that I had to go in and rebuild her shoulder.
"How are you walking around like this?" I ask her.
"Adrenaline?" She ask.
That didn't last long because once the words was out of her mouth she started to tear up and her body started to sake in pain.
"Ok breath Arizona breath."
"It hurts." she says
"I know baby." I say
Before I could say or do more she passed out.
"Well that is one way to deal with that." I say as a nurse helped me get her onto the bed.
"This is a mess." Jo says
I look up at my prodaje as we worked, her eyes lit up the second I asked her if she wanted to help me rebuild Arizona's shoulder.
"I mean not her shoulder not but what these people that run around this city doing this race and they say its to help kids, but they are doing more damage than good. Do you know a group of them jumped out in front of one womans car and now shes crying because she thinks it her fault her child is dead." Jo says with a growl.
She was working hard at becoming an Orthopedic Surgeon but she loved kids just like me.
"It is and thats why we try to get as much information that we can about the people that come in so they can be charged its never held on the same day and we don't know who starts it thats all we can do. You cant take away the rights of the responsible bike riders because of these idiots." I say.
I look up at Arizona's face, even now she looks so at peace. You would never think this all american blonde blue eyed woman was more at home running down bad guys then being danty and girly.
"Its going to take everything I have to keep this woman from overdoing it." I say.
"Why do you say that?" Jo asks.
"We just kinda gave into our feeling yesterday."
"Wait can't you get in trouble for this?""
"No, now if we had been together longer than they would ask that I didn't but it wouldn't be a big thing. But if we was married or in a civil partnership then yes I would." I say.
Jo's eyes moved to Arizona's face.
"Well I have to say she is very beautiful." She says.
I heard a grunt then a sigh before the sound of Arizona slowly adjusting her body. That was a sign that she was about to wake up, something I have learned from the few times I had the pleasure of being awake before never slept with her door closed saying it was because she wanted Phoenix to walk around to patrol at night. So when I had the chance I would wake make coffee and just sit with Phoenix next to me and listen to her.
Creepy I know but I couldn't help it.
She let out a giggle.
"Pretty kitty." she mumbled
I looked up from writing in her chart to she sleepy blue eyes looking at me.
"Since when do Cats wear doctors coats?"
It took every thing I had not to laugh as i put the chart down and moved over to her right side.
"How are you feeling?" I ask sitting net to her and leaning in closer.
"Grrrrrrrrreat!" She says loudly.
That made me laugh.
" I'm going to pet you now." She says looking at me.
her right hand came up and started to run through my hair before starting to scratch the bace of my skull.
"That feels good." I moan
she smiled and kept scratching until she fell back to sleep
Arizona
Pain shot through me without warning and woke me from my sleep when I tried to roll on my left side, it felt like an hot spike was jammed into my left shoulder. It was almost paralizing but I saw Callie curled up in the chair next to me fas to sleep.
"Callie."
She moved but didn't open her eyes,I smiled at her arched eyebrow.
"Callie." I say again
"I hear you I just found a good spot." She says.
"I'll share the bed with you if I can have some water and you can stop the pain."
Callie sat up and moved over to me looking at my IV she pushed a few buttons then walked away to get me some water.
"You should feel it now." She says smiling at me.
"Yes." I say
I grabbed her hand when she tried to sit back in her chair. She looked at me with a question in her eyes.
"Arizona..."
"You can be my big spoon, if it makes you feel better you will keep me from rolling on my left side." I say
I was starting to feel the pain killer take hold and I gave her a hard blink before opening my eyes wide, trying to stay awake.
"Ok."
Callie moved around the bed and helped me roll to my right before she climbed in behind wrapped herself around me before kissing my ear.
''You happy now?" she asked
"Yes I am." I say before intertwining my fingers with hers.
I felt her relax into me just before I fell to sleep I slept through the night without any problems it was the waking up to fine Callie gone and the nurse standing at the foot of my bed.
"What the hell? GET OUT!" I yell
I never felt the type of anger that I felt at this point.
"Dr Torres wanted me to take a look in on you."
I was a complete terror until about 12:30 when the pain started to kick in .That also brung a visit from Jo Wilson.
"Hey Detective Robbins." She said smiling and going for my arm.
"Hi call me Arizona please."
"Ok well to get it out the way I will be watching you tonight and tomorrow morning."
"What where is Callie?" I ask
"She was called to LA this morning on a consult." Jo says
"ok." I say frowning.
"Are you in any pain?"
"Yes but I don't like how it makes me feel."
"How does it wake you feel?" Jo asked
"I don't know."
"I'm going to give you your antibiotic and other medications from the other day. Do you think you can make it through lunch before I give you your pain medication?" Jo asked
"I really don't want to take it."
"Arizona you have to take it then when Callie gets back tomorrow she can change it ok." She says.
"Fine...Anything you say worden." I say smiling.
"I thought so Callie said you are stubborn and will try everything to get out of taking the painkillers,of any kind."
And Callie was right but I still felt strange about it, something just wasn't clicking. I didn't know what it was I just knew that I was a cranky monster all morning but no more then any other time I wake up feeling like I got hit by a bus.
Callie
I hate that I had to leave Arizona alone to go to LA and it lasted longer then what I and the other Doctor had now I'm just getting off the plane at 10pm when it should have been 10 this morning.
I turned on my phone and it just started going crazy.
I hit the button to stop the vibrating and answered the incoming call.
"Hello?"
"Oh my god Callie thank good ."
It was Jo and she didn't sound too happy, she sounded panicked.
"Jo what's wrong?"
"Arizona...The New Girl didn't listen to me and she gave Arizona the Hydrocodone I told everyone NOT to."
"Ok why whats wrong with the hydrocodone?"
"I'll explain later right now you need to get here as fast as you can. She won't let us in her room she's asking for you and its really bad." Jo said.
The girl is as hard as they come, just like me, and not much shakes her. But I could hear it in her voice. I started to make my way through the air port.
"Give her the phone."
"What?"
"Give her the phone, tell her I'm on the phone let me talk to her."
Why is there so many people here at this time?
"Arizona I have Callie on the phone do you want to talk to her?"
I hear Jo's muffled voice there was the rustle of what I guessed was her slipping the phone through the door.
"Calliope?"
Her voice sound so foreign and her panting was a clear sign that something was really wrong.
"Yes it me I'm coming right now I'm on my way now." I say starting the car.
I popped the phone into the bluetooth holder so I could keep talking to last thing I needed was to get pulled over for talking on the phone. I could get away with speeding because of my tag and the flashing cop like light that all hospital and private practice doctors have to have now. Its really cool you don't even know it there until its on.
"Where did you go?" she asked
"I had to go and talk to a family about there twins. They both have extra limbs that need to be removed." I say
"Ok babies babies are good they are great, tiny humans...Do do you want kids Callie?"
"Ye...
"GET BACK!"
"Ok I'm sorry." someone says
"Arizona listen to me."
She was yelling at someone and I could hear Jo trying to make the person leave the room.
"Arizona answer me." I say
"Yes"
"Do you want kids?" I ask
I could hear her struggling to get her breathing under control.
"I...I ...I want a boy and...and a girl." she says panting
"Arizona can you do something for me?" I ask
"I'm al most there just a few more blocks
"Yeah."
"Let Jo give you some oxygen."
It was quiet but I could hear Arizona moving around
"ok." she says.
"Im almost there Arizona I'm pulling in now...I want you to count to 100 ok will be there before you reach 100 ok."
"OK." She says through the mask.
"1..."
I took off across the parking lot and by the time r reached the door.
"20..."
past the nurses station and up the first flight of stairs.
"35...''
I haven't ran so fast in my life, I mean I run a lot in this hospital but not as fast since I have the elevators to help .
"59...''
I bust through the doors nearly tripping over my own feet
" 95"
"MOVE!"
''96''
I slam in to another doctor sending him falling to the floo.
"97"
this wasn't just a run this was an all out my lungs are burning run for your life run.
"99"
"100!" I say sliding into the room.
Arizona was sitting on the floor covered in sweat holding the phone up close enough to the mask so I could hear her.
"You made it." she says.
"I always will." I say
"What the hell happen!" I yelled and Jo jumped
I know she thought I was yelling at her but I wasn't, I looked at her chart and it clearly says NOT to give Arizona the hydrocodone.
"Arizona told me yesterday that she didn't want to take it that it made her feel strange and since you daid she was a person that never took anything stronger the an Aleve I thought thats what it was. So I lowered the dose just to be sure if that was the issue. She fell to sleep and I gave specific orders to be paged if Arizona wakes up before I made it back around to her. Lucy did what I asked and it turns out that She was having a reaction to the hydrocodone, it makes her all kinds of pissed off and mean. I looked through her file and she is allergic to just about all of the pain medication that me have here so I moved her from Hydrocodone to 1000 mg of acetaminophen and she was fine." Jo says.
"Then how in the hell did she go from that back to 180 mg of hydrocodone?" I ask. "Thats more than double the dosage."
I was nursing a black eye after someone had scared Arizona and she lashed out hitting me in the face and Jo in the mouth when she tried to jump up. once it was safe enough we sedated her and left Addison to watch over her while I tried to find out what the fuck happened.
"I'm sorry Dr Torres I had a bad day at home... my boyfriend lost his job and sleeping with my sis..."
"Jamie I am so sorry you had a bad day and I am really sorry that your boyfriend is well hes a dick. But you can't bring that to work I would much rather you call in with some lame excuse and come to me the next day to tell me whats really going on. If I feel that its something reasonable I will back you up with your supervisor. But because you came in and was so scatter brained I cant help you, because you can't bring your bad day to work three of my patients are sick because you didn't pay attention. And the fourth damn near died because you wasn't thinking when you filled the syringes and you wasn't thinking when you bypassed her chart."
"Wait this is my...I didn't mean..."
"I know you didn't Jamie you're a good nurse, I've watched you work and you love your always have a smile and you are always willing to cover for anyone. But you and the hospital hast two choices. You stay on and we both get sued or we fire you you take time to get your life together and you use that veterinary degree you are so happy to have. You have always been about honesty and telling the truth Jamie, so I know when asked and the hospitals will ask you will tell the truth." I say my eyes had long lost there anger
Jamie Brockman is an over achiever and all around good person. Good with kids hard worker and always seemed to be everywhere at once. When things got backed up she wouldn't leave until it was done, following Jo and I around for days at a time. Jo tryed to keep he distance because she didn't want to get close to her always calling her the new girl, but a name that was once said out of Jo's inability to handle new people and change very well turned into a nickname of love and support from my Mini me.
I looked over at Jo and I could see tears filling amber colored eyes and when I looked back at Jamie she was looking at Jo.
I had always thought the two was a lot closer than what they put off, but I never thought about it since Jamie had a dick of a boyfriend that she just won't leave.
"I understand and Im sorry I really am, I didn't mean for anyof this to happen." She says softly.
"We know you didn't." Jo finally says.
We watched her get up and leave the room on her way to gather her things. The supervising nurse followed after her and I sat down to let out a sigh.
"How long." I say running my hands through my hair.
"How long what?"
"How long...Jo how long have you been sleeping with Jamie?" I ask
"I haven't we have made out like two teens but we haven't done anything."
I grunted and stood.
"Go home we have nothing on the board."
"Can I look in on Arizona?"
