A/N. Okay second chapter is up, and just so we're clear: Arizona hasn't lost her leg.
Disclaimer: Grey's isn't mine.
It was around 9 AM that they heard it, a big pile up on the freeway, something that they knew would bring them a lot of work. When the first ambulance came into the bay, they were hardly prepared for the incoming flow. "Wilson. On me, now!" Arizona called from the door, while running to the ambulance with the little girl in it. "On my way!" Her protégé called back, making her way through all the surgeons at the door. "Hi sweetie, my name is Arizona. What's yours?" She made sure to flash the girl a bright dimpled smile. "My name is Danielle." She said in a small quiet voice. "Okay Danielle, this here is Jo and we're going to take super good care of you, is that okay?" But before the little girl could respond she went unconscious. "Crap, get her in there now!" Arizona and Jo took the girl to an emergency room and quickly got to work, cutting open her shirt to see that her belly was extended and hard with internal bleeding. "Wilson! Call an OR right now, we're going up." Jo nodded and called ahead of Arizona who was running to the elevator at that point.
"Dammit, her insides are totally shredded I'm not even sure how she could've been responsive when she got here." Arizona muttered under her breath after finally having stabilized a giant bleeder. "She was probably running of adrenaline or something." Jo offered. The blonde made a non-committal sound and continued to work on the little girl's liver.

Meredith finally had a chance to take a breather, she stood by the nurse station in the ER waiting for her resident to return with the test result. Suddenly EMTs came rushing in the ER with a woman sitting on top of an unconscious man on a stretcher. "Can I get some help here?! I literally have my finger on one of his major arteries." Meredith rushed forward while snapping on some gloves. "Bring him to room two, now." She ordered the men pushing the stretcher. "DeLuca, come over here." She called for her resident. "Okay DeLuca, she's going to get her finger of the artery, you have to replace that finger immediately, if you don't, this man will die." She looked around the room and asked if everyone was ready. "Okay. Three, two, one. Now." The woman pulled her hand away from the patient and DeLuca rushed to replace her. "So… You're our new head of Ortho, am I wrong?" Meredith asked while working on the patient on her table. "I am, actually. I think I'm at a disadvantage not knowing your name though." Eliza smirked. "Doctor Meredith Grey, nice to meet you. I suggest you get some scrubs to change into and meet us in OR 1." The brunette nodded and went for the door. "I'll see you in a few then."

Arizona sighed in relief I when she made the final suture. "Wilson, take her to recovery. I'm going to talk to her parents." The resident made an affirmative sound, while the blonde went for the door. "I'll see you in a few then. We're probably going to be in the OR the entire day." She briskly walked to the waiting room, scanning the crowd for the parents of the little girl. "Mr. and Mrs. Dennis?" She saw to heads snap up towards her and began to make her way towards the anxious parent. "Let me begin with telling you that Danielle has made it through the surgery successfully, the first 24 hours are always critical but we have high hopes for your daughter." The mother fell in her husband's arms crying tears of relief while the husband looked at Arizona. "Thank you, thank you so much." He breathed out. "Of course, if you'll follow me I'll bring you to her room. She's still in recovery but she should be waking up soon."

Jackson, Meredith, April and Alex stood together in the parking lot discussing events of the day. "I worked with Minnick today. Arizona will totally have a crush on her after being in an OR with her, I know I almost have one on her." Jackson frowned and looked at his wife. "What? I said almost, you know I love you." Jackson just shook his head at that while chuckling quietly at his wife's behavior. "She's really amazing in an operating room, I have to agree with you on that one. But I think it'll be the confidence she exudes, that's the reason Arizona will be attracted to her. She has a thing for strong women." Alex said, he knew his best friend well and was her wingman more often than not. "So, do we want to make a betting pool on when our beloved friend ends up on a date with Minnick?" Jackson asked, grabbing a piece of paper and a pen. "I say end of the week." Meredith offered. "What? No way! I say at least three weeks." April said. "Well that's not really logical either, is it? I say it's two months. She'll wait until Torres is gone before making a move on our favorite blonde." Alex wrote on the piece of paper that was passed around. "Two months and a week, she'll have to win Arizona over and if she'll only make her move when Torres is gone she's going to have to do her best to get Zona to agree." It was then that they saw Arizona walk out of the hospital. "Well, talk of the devil and he shall appear." Jackson muttered. "Hey guys, you ready to go? I need to catch a ride with one of you, Wilson drove me here this morning." Alex was quick to agree and they said their goodbyes to each other before getting into their separate vehicles and driving off. "So how was your day today Arizona?" The blonde groaned before answering. "Horrible, I spent all day in the OR and I'm sore everywhere. When I get home, I'm getting in the shower and after that I'm going to sleep." They soon stopped in front of Arizona's apartment complex. "I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow. Sleep tight." She gave them a quick smile before disappearing into the building.
