It's now 2:00 pm and rain a little as the plane lands in Little Rock. The flight had been a little turbulent, so everyone was ready to get off.

" Attention passengers, please make sure you grab all your belongings and exit carefully. Have a nice day."

Callie helps the now stiff Arizona out of her seat, and they get off the plane. Then they head to baggage claim, where Arizona waits for

her on a bench. Finally Callie comes back with the suitcases.

" Ready Arizona ?"

" Yeah Callie let's go."

Callie picks up the rental car and Arizona gets in with her. It's a red Dodge Charger, Arizona's preferred car.


Within twenty minutes, they arrive at the cabin. Getting out, Arizona takes a good look at its beauty. A two-story cabin made with dark wood,

large windows for plenty of sun, and a beautiful staircase to the entry door. Callie smiles seeing Arizona is pleased with the cabin they had.

" Um, Callie. Can you help me up the stairs, you know with it being wet ?"

" Sure, I'll help you then I'll comeback for our things. Come on."

Callie helps Arizona climb the stairs, grateful she asked for help. Once inside, Arizona takes a look around. The living room has a big fireplace,

with three couches, and a big flat screen TV. The floor was done in beautiful light-colored oak wood that matched the walls. The kitchen a steel

stove and refrigerator. With wooden counters full of kitchen tools, as well as a stocked wine rack above the end counter. The bathroom is really

nice. It has a whirlpool tub and shower, with one sink and toilet. Then there's the bedroom. Contains a dark oak king size canopy bed, TV,

and dresser with a mirror.

" Hey there Arizona."

" Hey Callie. Um, will we be sleeping in separate rooms still ?"

" No only because we came up here to fix problems not make them worse."

Arizona felt like she had been hit hard. Those words hurt and it hurt worse knowing it was her fault.

" I'm...I'm sorry I've made you feel that way Callie. I remember a time when all you wanted to do, is sleep with me."

Callie looks down in sadness, it was true. At one time this was impossible.

" I remember a time when we trusted each other. Way before..."

" I know Callie."

Callie clears her throat and shakes head, wanting to change the subject for now.

" How about I fix us some dinner Arizona ? Dad has this place stocked with food, he stocks it every month."

" Uh yeah sure. What do we have ?"

" Well we have steak, chicken, hamburger, ribs, shrimp, and fish. Then we have different side canned foods such as corn, and green beans."

" Ok, can you fix a good steak Callie ?"

" Sure can. Hey while I'm fixing dinner, you can watch TV and rest. We have complete cable and array of DVD movies."

" Ok Callie... thank you."

" For what Arizona ?"

" For all of this...being here...working with me on our marriage."

" Your welcome, I'm glad you came too."

Callie begins cooking in the kitchen while Arizona watches TV. Every now and then, she steals looks at Arizona.

Was this woman worth her time ? Yes, most definitely because there is only one Arizona.

Finally dinner is ready, so they sit down to eat together.

" You did a good job Callie, this is good."

" Thank you Arizona. Glad you like it."

After eating, they clean up and sit by the fire-place that's burning. Callie speaks up in a tear laced voice that catches Arizona's attention.

" I tried. I really tried to save you but somehow the old Arizona died still. Sometimes I wish I had been there with you, so I would know what happened."

" I...I told you Callie. I told you how Lexie died, how Derek got hurt, how I splint my own leg, how I kept Mark alive..."

Before Arizona can finish, Callie takes her hand and speaks to her softly.

" You never said any details about the nights in between. You never told me how you felt Arizona."

" I...I don't wanna go there Callie...it hurts too much."

" That's the problem Arizona. You refuse to deal with it. You refuse to let me help you."

Arizona rips her hand away and gets up quickly.

" You can't help me Callie."

" Arizona please..."

Arizona runs into the bedroom and locks the door. She slides down the door and silently cries. Callie knocks on the door after finding it locked.

" Arizona please open the door. We need to talk. Come on open the door !"

After several minutes Arizona opens the door but backs away from Callie. Callie alarmed at her behavior, looks at Arizona carefully.

" Arizona...I won't bother you no more tonight but we will talk about all this. Let's just go to bed."

Arizona nods in relief and slowly gets in bed with Callie still guarded. Shaking her head, Callie turns out the light.


By 11:30 pm, Arizona finds herself in a nightmare yet again. She can feel everything. Her leg pain, being hungry, and being thirsty. She can hear Meredith's wails of grief.

By this point, Arizona is shaking in bed, sweating from the images and feelings.

" Ahhh!"

Arizona springs up in bed startled. Callie wakes up instantly worried. Turning on a light, she sees Arizona's eyes are wild and full of fear.

" Arizona...your ok. Your ok. Your safe."

" No...no the plane...I'm..."

" Shhh. Your safe now. We are here in my dad's cabin in Arkansas."

Slowly, Arizona reaches out for Callie's hand. The moment they touch, Arizona breaks down completely. Not knowing what to do, Callie pulls Arizona in her lap.

" I'm...I'm sorry...Callie...Im so sorry."

Callie rocks Arizona back and forth.

" Shhhh. We'll figure this out I promise."

When morning came the next day around 7:00 am, Callie slowly began to wake up. She stretches, but is surprised to find Arizona not in bed. So getting up, Callie walks to the bathroom. Arizona is not there. Soon she finds Arizona is not in the cabin but somewhere outside. Worried, Callie puts on her coat and grabs her cell phone. Walking outside she begins searching for Arizona. Finally she sees the blonde sitting by the lake and walks to her.

" Arizona...you scared me. What are you doing out here ?"

" Thinking about how I ruined everything."

Sighing, Callie takes a seat beside her.

" Arizona, I'll admit things have not been good for us lately and yes you made a mistake, but it was a mistake right ?"

" Yes, very much a mistake Callie."

" Then I still love you."

" How can you after what I did ?"

" Because you chose me not her. You came here with me and left her Arizona."

Arizona turns to Callie in tears.

" All I wanna do is make it up to you. I promise Callie, it'll never happen again."

" I can only really believe that when you start talking about the accident. Because really that is what caused this. Bottling up your emotions, the constant need for control."

Arizona swallows hard and closes her eyes against the ugly truth. She felt so broken yet numb and still lost. All she wanted was to take it back, the whole ordeal but she can't.

" How do you know that Callie ?"

" Because I see you struggle internally and all I wanna do is help Arizona. I won't judge you, I promise."

" No don't "promise" me anything. Last thing you did..."

" I cut off your leg."

" Yes, but I should have never made you promise the impossible. I knew it was impossible."

" Arizona don't ok ? I understood you needed to have hope and I stupidly gave you that. So I am the one who is sorry about the promise."

After a few more minutes of talking, Callie helps Arizona up. Suddenly she get's an idea.

" Arizona, let's go out on my dad's yacht on the lake."

" Do you even know how to drive a boat Callie ?"

" Yeah dad taught me when I was seventeen in Miami. Come on it'll be good for us."


Arizona agrees to go, so Callie packs them a bag of water and snacks. Going out to the dock, she helps Arizona on the boat then gets the fishing poles.

" Callie, are we going fishing ?"

" Yup sure are. We can talk while we fish."

" Uh...I don't about this...maybe..."

" Arizona...no more running. It ends today. Now just sit back and ride till I get where I want us."

" Alright whatever."

Callie unanchores the yacht and stirs away from the dock slowly. Within fifteen minutes, she finds a spot and anchors the yacht. Sitting down beside Arizona, she prepares to hands Arizona a pole, and they begin fishing.

" Ok enough stalling. Tell me everything that happened Arizona, everything."

Staring out at the calm water Arizona takes a deep breath and begins talking.

" Ok well I told you about the first twenty-four hours. The next day everyone was stressed, all of us we were worried about dying out there. I tried to find distractions, like

thinking of you and Sofia but it only made it worse. Then I realized none of us had water or food. So I done the only thing I knew to do. I peeded than drank it and threw

up a little. I realized it would have to be mind over matter if I wanted to live. So I took one look at Lexie's decomposing body and decided I would do what it took. Most

of the time it was hard to think with Christina and Meredith arguing. Eventually I yelled at them to both shut up. I sat and thought of how to keep bugs out of my leg, but

nothing really worked. By nightfall Christina was trying to calm a breaking down Meredith over Lexie's death. I was starting to get a fever, so I used cool mud deep in the

ground to cool myself off. Derek stayed quiet trying to keep his mind off the facts Lexie had died and Mark was dying. The next day was pure hell. I was so sick and in

pain, I considered suicide. Luckily, I didn't have the guts and passed out. Later on that night, I was awoken by Derek saying medics in choppers had come for us."

Callie's heart was beating so fast, she feared a heart attack. She takes Arizona in her arms.

" Yes we found you. Well Owen actually but Arizona I'm so sorry. I had no idea, I'm sorry."

Arizona begins to cry with such force, Callie moves to the floor with her. Callie can feel the hot tears on neck as her wife loses all control in a good way. Track of time was lost.

However Callie did not care. Then realized neither had eaten lunch. Pulling back, she looks at a now more calm Arizona.

" Thank you Callie."

" No need to thank me Arizona. Come on, I caught some catfish. I'll grill it on dad's mini grill on here downstairs."

Getting up, Callie puts the fish in a bag then helps Arizona down the stairs. Arizona sits down and watches Callie cook. Soon the fish are cooked and Callie heats up some corn. They eat lunch then go back upstairs. Arizona looks her wedding band in tears, Callie notices.

" Hey what's wrong Arizona ?"

" How could I ignore this ring ? I never took it off yet I cheated on you. I'm a horrible person."

Callie sighs.

" Look at first yes I believed that, but Arizona I know you love me. That is what matters. With George I knew he didn't. He didn't try to make it work.

Your different, otherwise you wouldn't be here."

" Are you telling me you forgive me ?"

" I'm still hurt but yes. We still have a problem or two though. When we made love for the first time in five months, you didn't completely let go.

It was almost as if you were afraid to. Were you Arizona ?"

" Yes, only cause I felt so much. I felt so self conscious."

" I still think you sexy. Having one leg doesn't change that Arizona. All I wanna do is love you, touch you."

" Then do it, it's ok. I want you to."

" Here, now ?"

" Yes. Take me. Please Callie. I don't wanna lose our flame."


Callie could see Arizona was serious. So without anymore worry, she began kissing Arizona. Her tongue exploring her mouth. Then moving to suck on Arizona's neck.

" Downstairs is a bed. Let's go."

Callie carries her downstairs her to the full-size bed. She slowly gets on top of Arizona, and removes both their clothes. Callie kisses Arizona's thighs, then her stomach causing Arizona to moan. Then begins kissing her chest. Callie can feel Arizona's heart beating fast, indicating the blonde's excitement. Slowly her hand moves down, finding Arizona wet and warm. Smiling she rubs gently, causing Arizona's hips to buck. Then Callie enters with her tongue, and Arizona gasps. Callie then inserts two fingers and moves slowly in and out.

" Oh...oh Callie that feels so damn good. Faster please !"

Callie moved at speed that shook the bed. she climbs on Arizona one full leg and grinds hard. Finally they both cum screaming so lud the walls echo.

" Oh Callie...I...I needed that so bad.

" Tell me Arizona did Lauren make you feel that way ?"

" No...God no. Not even close. I love you Callie I really do."

" I know I love you too. Always and forever."

They get up and get dressed. Callie sails back to the deck. They get off and Callie's cellphone rings.

" Hello ?"

" Hey Callie. It's Miranda. Everything ok ?"

" Yes, everything fine. We'll be back in a few days. We just need time together."

" Ok then good. Bye."

" Bye."

Hang up, Callie takes Arizona's hand and they walk back to the cabin happy at last.


Oh, you and I the time we spent together ends too soon. Like sun sets to the moon,
so breath my beautiful. I often find that I've been losing time,cos what you said last night that play upon my mind like thoughts of you and I...you and I...

It goes round my head like a carousel and round and round my mind.
You and I...you and I.

A simple need of love is what you bring, it plays on my hearts strings. Songs of love to be loved, got me thinking of our moments that are gone but will not fade. We live to be replayed,in my mind overtime like thoughts of you and I...you and I.

Well I know we'll make mistakes but that's just the chance we take. I hope you ll never say, cos I'll never say goodbye...say goodbye... to you and I...you and I.
