Wooo, here's chapter three :3

Also, to that mean anon that decided to be all mean about my long author's note, it was only long because it was the first chapter and I felt the need to babble. I love babbling so STFU and deal. (: (Just kidding, I still love you. And my babbling.)

Callie made her way to her son's room after unsuccessfully searching for Owen.

"Hey baby boy," Callie smiled as she enveloped her son in a light, tender embrace.

"Hi Mama," Gavin grinned at the sight of his mom, but she could tell he was still pretty groggy. She stayed with him for a few hours, just running her fingers over his incredibly pale skin or through his beautiful blonde locks.

For the rest of the night she remained by his bedside.

Once she noticed he was completely asleep, his little chest rising and falling, she began to speak to him.

"I know this isn't what was supposed to happen to you, mi hijo."

Arizona scanned her patient's charts as she made her way to the entrance of room 303. She stopped herself as she heard Callie's soft voice.

"I was supposed to protect you, baby. And now you're in the hospital. You know Daddy didn't mean it right? Gavin... he loves you so much. Do you know that when you two were born, all he could think about was being able to take you fishing and... well other manly things that I'm not exactly too fond of."

Arizona smiled and rested her head behind the door frame as she listened to Callie talk to her son. Arizona never wanted to be a mother, but Callie made a great one. She was incredibly caring and kind. Non-judgemental and sweet. She was amazing.

Of course she had to develop feelings for the 'Married with Kids' Latina.

Arizona sighed internally as she continued to listen.

"And Dr. Robbins? She'll take super good care of you while your leg gets better. You don't have to stay here much longer, either. We'll take you home to rest up as soon as Dr. Robbins says it's okay. Did you know that she and Mommy helped repair a little boy's lungs together? We made a really great team. I bet if you had any idea as to what I was talking about, you would be proud of me, just like I'm proud of you."

Arizona felt her heart flutter at the sounds of her name and the compliments Callie was giving her.

"You wouldn't be proud of me for what I did to Daddy though. I didn't mean to tell on him. I did it for you baby boy, so you wouldn't get hurt again. I just wanted him to get better so he could be there for you because he loves you and your brother and sister so, so much. And you know that. He didn't mean to get mad at you and I hope you still show him you love him everyday. He knows his visions and dreams and everything from there are back and I can't tell anyone but you because you're sleeping and you don't understand what I'm talking about. But that's okay."

Callie's eyes welled quickly with tears and lowered her head on her son's chest. She stayed there, crying silently until there was a rustling of papers at the door.

Callie lifted her head to see Arizona walking in, flipping through the chart in her hand.

"Well, Callie, he seems to be doing pretty well from this point on. You can take him home any time." Arizona smiled comfortingly.

Callie sniffled slightly, trying to adjust her emotions as best she could.

"Thanks, A-Arizona."

"Do you want to talk, Sweetie?" Arizona crouched down to Callie's level.

Callie could feel her heart rate begin to speed up as Arizona became closer to her.

Callie's brown eyes looked up into Arizona's. Her eyes started drifting off onto the other features of Arizona's face. Her nose, lips, chin, cheeks, and finally back to her eyes.

Before she knew it, her face was suddenly growing much closer to Arizona's, her eyes fluttering shut. Before her lips could touch Dr. Robbins, Gavin shuffled in his bed, sending the two jumping back slightly.

Arizona looked down, while Callie cleared her throat as the two tried to recover themselves from the kiss that almost was.

"I... uhm, I didn't mean to... that wasn't what you thought. I was just... just caught up in the emotions and everything. That wasn't a real kiss. Well, it wouldn't have been."

It was Arizona's turn to clear her throat as a slight feeling of disappointment settled into the pit of her stomach.

"I know, it's alright. No big deal. Let's say you and I get some paperwork ready and you can get your boy home?" Arizona plastered her best fake smile onto her face.

Callie grinned and nodded, kissing Gavin's forehead before getting up to follow Dr. Robbins.

For some reason that Callie couldn't understand, she too felt a twinge of disappointment from the almost kiss. Not because she almost kissed someone she wasn't married to or because the recipient would have been a girl, but simply because it didn't happen. But that didn't mean she wanted it to happen, did it?


Arizona waved at Callie and Gavin as she watched them leave the hospital and head home.

It was about eleven thirty at night at this point. She was simply exhausted and filled with disappointment. For some reason, everything just seemed wrong in that moment. Very, very wrong.

Luckily, her shift was over in a half hour and she really needed a good pick me up.

"Hey!" A voice called from behind her.

"Maya! Look at you... all, uh, covered in... blood?" Arizona stated with a hint of a questioning tone.

"Yeah, trauma patient who was really bleeding out. It's no big deal, everyone got everything under control and I should probably go and change. But my shift's over in about a half and hour, so I just figured there was no real point to changing now. Besides, it gives me that 'I'm a real doctor' edge." Maya grinned at Arizona.

"You do indeed look like you have attempted to doctor someone," Arizona smiled back.

Maya made her way to the desk and propped herself up against it, putting all of her weight on her left foot as she slouched over the counter top.

"So what are you doing tonight, Arizona?"

"I don't really know. I was debating on whether going out for a drink would be a good idea or just heading home for some rest."

Maya looked up at Arizona.

"Would you maybe consider going out? For drinks? With me?" Maya asked nervously.

Maybe that's what Arizona needed. A night out, a date, a girl. Someone to get her mind of Callie, because as much as she wanted it to happen, it didn't seem like it was even a possibility. She needed to move on and get her life up and running again.

"I think that would be a great idea. I'm totally in. I'm super totally in," Arizona nodded as she smiled.

"Great! That's great! Well, I'm going to head to the lockers and see if I can find some clothes. I'll meet you outside the hospital in twenty?"

"Sounds great. See you then..." Arizona watched as the red-head bustled off down the hallway.

Hopefully this would get her mind off things. Things being Calliope Torres: Head of Cardio, of course. She sighed as she made her way to the office behind her to quickly file the last of the charts she had in her hand before making her way to the staff change rooms.
