I was literally sobbing as I write this chapter. I still am.

And THANKS to the reviewer who remembers Fix You! Haha.

Anyways, this is going to be a multi-chaptered, Teddy-centric fic. I wish I could bring Henry back to life, but he's gone, but won't be forgotten. Teddy will find happiness, I promise. This could go so many ways: Teddy/Owen, Teddy/Mark, Teddy/OC. There might be some Teddy/Henry flashbacks. I'm not sure which direction this will go. So please review, and I'd love to hear (read) your feedbacks!

Also: I have a LOT of Teddy/Henry fics on my phone that I started months ago. Hopefully I'll get to finish some of them, but I just can't right now. Sadface. I miss Henry.

By the way, this chapter is filled with Arizona/Teddy friendship. I wish they show this relationship more on the show.

Chapter 2

Teddy wiped the tears streaming down her face. She reached out for his face and stroked it lovingly.

"I'm here, Henry." She whispered. "I love you so much." Her voice started wavering as tears threatened to fall again. He looked so at peace. She was jealous. He won't get to feel the pain. She, on the other, will eventually feel every little bit emotion. She hasn't yet. She can't accept the fact that she will be walking out of the hospital without her husband by her side. She will go home to an empty apartment. She refused to accept the fact that he's dead.

She can stand there forever and stare at her husband's face.

"No more pain, honey" She continued to whisper "I'm so sorry I couldn't be there. I'm so sorry I couldn't do more. I'm so sorry I let this happen, honey"

It was then when she started to let out a whimper.

"Wherever you are now, I'm sure it's a better place. Wait for me, okay? When it's my turn to get there, your face better be the first face I see." Tears cascaded down her face "Honey, what am I going to do without you? I'm alone. This isn't fair"

She sighed. "Goodbye, Henry" She chuckled bitterly and looked around. There's no use in talking to a lifeless body. Henry's not there anymore.

Henry's not there in that body. Henry's not in the OR. Henry's not anywhere.

Henry's gone.

She stood straight and wiped her tears. She walked out to the scrub room, passing by Webber and Owen without saying a word, and walked down the halls of Seattle Grace towards the Attendings' lounge to gather her stuff.


She got to the Attending's lounge and sat on the couch. She was planning on going home, but she couldn't. Not yet. She hugged her knees and buried her face on them. She stayed like, not moving, not sleeping, nothing. A few tears fell, but it didn't feel like she was crying. She lost track of time and couldn't remember how long she's been sitting there. She couldn't move. She couldn't breathe. She couldn't feel.

She heard the door open, but didn't bother to look up to see who it was. She suddenly felt someone's presence and a hand on her back.

"Teddy" Teddy knew the voice really well. She peeked at her friend who gave her a warm, comforting smile.

"Hey" She said softly and smiled sadly. "Henry's gone"

Arizona nodded. "I heard. I'm so sorry to hear that, hon" She leaned in and wrapped her arms around her friend. "How are you?" She asked after a few moments, as she lets go of Teddy.

"I don't know." Teddy said, "What do I do now?" she sighed. "Do I even contact his sister? What do I do with his stuff? What do I do?" Teddy asked Arizona "I don't know what to do"

"We'll figure that out tomorrow. But right now let's just get you home. You need to get some sleep." Arizona said, rubbing circles on her best friend's back.

"I don't want to" Teddy said, barely above a whisper. She couldn't find the energy to talk, or the will to form words. "I can't. Not yet. I just want to sit here. I don't want to move"

"Okay" Arizona said "That's okay. We can sit here"

"You don't have to sit with me, you know. You can go home to your family. I'll be fine." Go home to your family. It hurts Teddy to say those words. Henry was her family. She has no one to go home to. She forced a sad smile, her tears were at the brink of falling from her eyes again, and turned to look at her friend "Go home. I'll be fine. Your daughter's waiting for you"

Arizona wiped the tear on Teddy's eye and tucked her hair behind her ear. "She's with Callie and Mark. They know where I am. I'll sit here with you"

Teddy nodded "Okay. Thank you. I really appreciate it."

Arizona smiled. "Anytime. I'll always be here. You can sleep on my couch if you'd like."

She shook her head. "It's fine. I wouldn't want to impose. I'll go home after awhile, maybe clean up"

"I can go with you" Arizona said carefully. She didn't want suffocate her. She really just want to help as much as she can "...if you'd like. I'm off tomorrow, so I can help you sort everything out."

"Sure" Teddy said, surprising herself. She didn't really want company, but maybe it won't be so bad "I have scotch at home, so we can do that too."

Arizona was surprised at Teddy's answer. She was glad she wasn't shutting people out, but Arizona could see that there was something unusual about this. Arizona was waiting for Teddy to breakdown, because that seemed like a more normal reaction. She figured maybe she hasn't processed it yet. She's glad that Teddy's letting her sleepover. She doesn't want Teddy to be alone when it hits her that Henry's gone.

"So, that scotch. Do you want to get on that now or do you want to sit here and not move a little bit longer?"

Teddy laughed softly "let's sit here for a little bit longer"

They heard a knock on the door and Arizona looked up to see Owen peeking in, while Teddy stared at her hands. "Hey, Teddy."

Teddy kept on staring her hands. She can't look at Owen. Not yet.

Arizona and Owen shared a telepathic look, as if saying that Arizona's got it covered. Owen nodded and closed the door, leaving Teddy and Arizona in the room.

"There's a difference between lying by omission and blatantly lying" Teddy said quietly, picking on her nails. "I would've understood lying by omission, but he lied. I understand what he's trying to do, but… I just can't talk to him. He didn't have to stand there in my OR and tell me that my husband is doing well. He could have waited. He could have not said anything."

Arizona was unsure of what to say. She just nodded at her friend, understandingly. She mimicked her friend's position, and sat next to her for a little bit longer.


Arizona woke up on Teddy's couch, an empty bottle of scotch on the coffee table, while darkness enveloped Seattle. She didn't drink more than a glass and she really wasn't sure when she fell asleep, but she was surprised that Teddy emptied the bottle. She looked around Teddy's living room for signs on Teddy and she saw a light gleaming from the kitchen. She walked over and saw Teddy hands and knees on the floor, scrubbing.

"Teddy?" She said softly, trying not to startle her friend.

Teddy jumped a little and looked up at her friend "I was… I was thirsty so I went in here, and I saw the blood" She said and choked a sob. "There was blood everywhere and I just can't leave the blood—Henry's blood—on my floor." She rambled drunkenly. Tears were streaming down her face.

"Honey…" Arizona said, trying to calm Teddy down

"There's just blood on the floor, on the sink, everywhere" Teddy sobbed "Henry….Henry's blood." She closed her eyes tightly and shook her head violently. "Blood doesn't bother me. I see blood every day. But there's blood in my kitchen. My husband's blood on my kitchen floor!"

Arizona took the rag off Teddy's hand and pulled her friend into her arms. Teddy sobbed while Arizona held her until she's calmed down.

"Shhh" Arizona coaxed and rocked Teddy back and forth "It's okay, the blood is gone."

She pulled Teddy up and walked her to the couch, where her friend sobbed continuously until she fell asleep. She placed Teddy's head on her lap and ran her fingers through her hair. Teddy will be fine. Eventually.

She picked up her cell phone and called Callie. She didn't care that it was 4 in the morning. She just needed to hear her voice.

"Hey" Callie answered groggily.

"Hey. I love you" Arizona said "I'm sorry I'm not there tonight"

"Teddy needs you. It's okay" Callie mumbled, half asleep. "How is she?"

"Finally broke down. She just fell asleep" She sighed "I don't ever want to lose you, Cal"

"You won't. I'll always be here. Now try to sleep. I love you."

Arizona smiled at the sound of Callie's voice. She hung up and looked at her best friend sleeping on her lap. You could see the trouble in Teddy's face, and she wished she could chase it away. She took a moment and silently swore to Henry that she will take care of Teddy.
