A/N: Finally got all moved to new place and found some time to write. Hope this was worth the wait.
And to the guest review who asked why this story was all about babies... It's not all about babies, but I love kids, I always have and I love writing about kids. I rarely have a story idea that doesn't involve a child somewhere. So that's your answer.
Chapter 4
With a very satisfied smile, Arizona rolled off her wife, curled into Callie's side. Once she caught her breath, she looked up into deep brown eyes. Callie's head dipped to place a light kiss on Arizona's lips.
"I'm so glad we decided to nix the no sex in the hospital rule," Callie smirked.
"That was the dumbest idea I ever had," Arizona admitted.
"Definitely," Callie agreed. Although Arizona had her reasons at the time, neither one of them could remember what they were.
Dr. Calliope Robbins walked through the halls of Seattle Grace with a bounce in her step. Today was going to be an excellent day. She was finally a resident and her wife was now an intern. They would finally get to spend time together again.
The last year had been a hard one for the couple, trying to make it through Callie's internship, Arizona's last year of medical school, and take care of their two daughters, who were now both in school. They'd barely had time to see each other. She couldn't remember the last time they'd shared more than a few kisses before crashing into bed exhausted.
This year would be another hard one with Arizona now being the intern, but at least they'd get to see each other around the hospital. She was on her way now to greet all of the new interns for and find out which ones were assigned to her. Since many of the surgeons already knew of their marital status, she wasn't holding out hope that she'd get put on the same service as Arizona. Especially since they were interested in different specialties.
Turning the corner towards the nurses' station where the interns were waiting, she immediately spotted familiar blonde hair in a line of over a dozen interns. Her body was begging her to walk up to her wife, grab her ass, and place a kiss on her neck, but her mind told her what a bad idea that was.
Spotting Mark, she moved around the interns, sending a quick wink to her wife when their eyes connected, and took a spot beside her friend. Mark graduated college with Callie, but had gone off to a different medical school and they'd lost touch. So she'd been more than a little surprised to see Mark her first day of internship.
Mark and Lexie had managed to maintain their relationship over the years, and were recently engaged. She was currently standing beside Arizona as one of the other new interns.
"Our women look good in scrubs," Mark whispered to Callie.
Her eyes never leaving her wife, "That they do," she agreed. All she could think about was getting Arizona alone and tearing that lab coat and those scrubs right off her body.
"Get your head out of the gutter, Callie," Mark snickered.
"Shut up," she grumbled, trying to focus on what Dr. Bailey was telling the interns. Callie had worked with a lot of surgeons in the hospital, but she was never more excited than on the days she got to work under Dr. Bailey and Dr. Altman, the two women who had saved her daughter's life. She knew Arizona was equally as excited to work with Dr. Bailey, her own focus being pediatrics. "Besides, I'm sure you're thinking the same thing about Lexie."
Knowing his friend was right, Mark kept his mouth shut.
Callie was barely able to mutter a quick a hello to her wife before they were both pulled in different directions. As the day drug on and they still didn't get to see each other, Callie was starting to wonder if she'd called it wrong. This was only Arizona's first shift and it wouldn't always be so hectic she tried to tell herself.
When the end of her shift finally rolled around and there was no case holding her at the hospital, she smiled once again and headed towards her locker to change. Her smile faltered when she remembered Arizona wouldn't be coming home with her because she would be working until sometime tomorrow.
Switching directions, she quickly went in search of the other woman, wanting to at least see her and wish her luck. "Hey, Lexie, have you seen Arizona?" Callie asked her friend.
"It's kind of slow right now so she said she was going to try and find some place to rest for a few minutes. Try the on-call rooms," Lexie suggested.
Callie thanked her before continuing her search. An empty on-call room could be perfect to steal a few moments. The first two rooms she tried held no sign of her wife, the third one was locked and she received a loud, manly "go away" at her knock.
She headed up the stairs to the next set of on-call rooms. She was about to lose hope when she finally spotted a familiar face on one of the bunk beds. Sneaking quietly into the room, she made sure Arizona was the only occupant before locking the door behind her.
Tip-toeing to the bed, she leaned down, torn between waking her wife up or letting her rest. She knew the other woman needed the sleep if she was going to get through her shift. At the same time, she really needed some time with her if she was going to be spending the night in their bed alone.
"Don't worry about it, I'm awake," Arizona whispered, startling Callie.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want to head home without wishing you a good night," Callie told her.
"Seeing you is better than some missing sleep," Arizona smiled, scooting back on the bed so Callie could join her.
"You're going to rethink that at three in the morning when you're stuck suturing some drunk guys hand, wishing you could take a nap," Callie teased, kissing Arizona lightly on the lips. "Mmm, I've missed you."
"Missed you too," Arizona admitted, kissing Callie again.
Several innocent kisses quickly turned into a full-on make-out session. Rolling on top of Arizona, Callie kissed her even harder, pressing their bodies tightly together. "I want you so much," she whispered, moving to take her shirt off.
Arizona stopped and pulled away, halting Callie from her goal. "I don't think that's such a good idea."
"Why not?" Callie questioned, feeling more than a little disappointed.
"Because, sex in the hospital is a bad idea to begin with. This is our workplace, not our home. And besides you're a resident, I'm an intern."
"So! We're married," Callie argued. It's not like Arizona was sleeping with her boss to get favors. They were wives. They had a home and family together.
"It's my first day. What kind of impression will that make? I just don't think it's a good idea," Arizona explained.
Callie groaned, lying back down next to Arizona. She knew she wasn't going to win. When Arizona had her mind made up, it was hard to change it.
"No sex in the hospital. Agreed?"
"Agreed," Callie mumbled. She briefly wondered if she'd get to touch her wife in the next year, but before she could say anything Arizona's pager went off.
"Guess I'll see you tomorrow," Arizona told her, climbing over Callie and off the bed. Giving her wife one last kiss, she was out the door.
"Stupidest idea she ever had," Callie moaned to the empty room.
"Do you have any idea how horny I was that day?" Callie asked, pulling herself from the memory.
"You? What about me? I still had like 15 hours of my shift left. At least you got to go home and take care of yourself. And don't even deny that you didn't do just that at the first opportunity," Arizona quickly added. They'd been married 12 years, she knew Callie as well as she knew herself.
"I most certainly did not," Callie denied. "I had two little girls that needed help with homework and then I had to fix dinner and get them to bed."
"And as soon as they were asleep and you were in our bed…"
"I fell right to sleep," Callie lied, knowing Arizona wouldn't believe her. That day may have been almost five years ago, but she could remember every night they spent apart, because on those nights it was always hard to sleep.
"Liar," Arizona teased, kissing Callie quickly before sliding off of the bed to get her scrub top. The two women had barely managed to pull their scrubs off before they were making each other come, bras and panties still in place.
Callie smirked, "You love me anyway."
"That, I definitely do," Arizona answered. Picking up Callie's top off of the floor, she threw it at her partner. "Now get dressed. We need to get back out there before someone realizes we're both missing… again," she added. It wouldn't be the first time they'd been caught, and it likely wouldn't be the last either. All these years together and they were still just as into each other as they'd always been.
"We still haven't had a chance to talk about our maybe baby," Callie said as she pulled on her pants, tying them back in place.
Running her hands through her hair, Arizona was really wishing there was a mirror in here. She worried about leaving the on-call room with sex hair. "I know, I know. Maybe tonight? If we both get home at a decent hour," Arizona offered. It had been two weeks since their date night and they hadn't had more than a few moments alone. "Or maybe not," Arizona groaned as her pager went off, shortly followed by Callie's.
"ER?" Callie asked as she looked down her at pager.
"ER," Arizona confirmed, shutting off her own.
"Maybe we get a case together," Callie commented.
"Or maybe it's all hands on deck," Arizona countered as she unlocked the door and led the way to the elevators.
Several minutes later they entered the ER together and were immediately stopped by one of the new interns. Neither of them could remember the young guys name. "What do we got?" Arizona asked him.
"Five-year old boy fell on the playground. He's in a lot of pain and looks like he may have a broken femur."
"May have? Did you order an x-ray, Dr…" Callie trailed off, trying to remember his name.
"Thompson, Dr. Thompson," he quickly filled in. "And no I didn't."
"Why not?" Callie asked angrily. Interns seemed to get more incompetent by the year.
"The mother hasn't made it here yet. Apparently she had to go out of town for the day and we haven't been able to get a hold of her. The nanny was the one to bring him in," Dr. Thompson informed them.
"Did you ask her if she could make medical decisions?" When the young man shook his head no Callie grumbled and headed for the bed the intern had pointed out. Before she could even pull back the curtain, she could hear the little boy's wails. He was obviously in a great deal of pain.
"Hey there cutie," Arizona greeted the little boy in a soothing manner. "I'm Dr. Arizona and this is Dr. Robbins and we're here to make you feel better. What's your name?" As predicted when they got married, having two Dr. Robbins in one hospital got a little confusing, so Arizona had adopted using her first name instead.
"Nicky," the boy sniffled.
"Nicky, nice to meet you. I know you're in a lot of pain and we'll make it better just as soon as we can," Arizona promised.
Callie gave the boy a smile before turning to the young brunette in the room. She couldn't have been more than 25 at the most. "Are you allowed to make medical decisions in the mother's absence?"
"Oh yes, of course. I have the paperwork if you need to see it," she offered reaching for her purse.
"Not at this moment, although keep it handy in case we need to place it in his file," Callie suggested. "We need to get him x-rayed. We'll know more once we get the scans. What is your name?"
"Oh sorry, I'm Holly. And do whatever you have to," the nanny told them.
"Alright, Dr. Thompson get this boy up to radiology and page us when you get the scans back," Callie told the intern. Turning back to Holly, "We'll come speak to you when we have a better idea about our course of treatment."
The next time they spoke to Holly was over an hour later. Based on the scans, they felt the best course of action was surgery to try and correct the break. Casting would be decided later, depending on the outcome of the operation.
"I got a hold of his mother. She says to go ahead with whatever you think is best. She should be back within the next hour though hopefully," Holly told them.
"Should we put off surgery until she gets here?" Arizona asked both Callie and Holly.
"No, no," Holly quickly shook her head. "She wouldn't want that. She'd want to see him getting fixed up as soon as possible."
"Alright, we'll get him prepped then. Have one of the nurses tell us when she gets here and I'll come out and give both of you an update," Arizona offered. She felt bad Nicky's mother wasn't there, but knew if it was her own daughters she wouldn't want them to suffer longer than they had to either.
"Looks like we do get to work together," Callie smiled, as she and Arizona headed off to prepare for surgery. They hadn't gotten to work a case together in a while. It was too bad because their connection made them a powerful team.
About half way into the procedure, a nurse came to inform them that Nicky's mother had finally arrived. Scrubbing out, Arizona made her way through the halls toward the waiting room. She stopped suddenly, not expecting the woman who was sitting next to Holly. A face she would recognize anywhere.
Shaking it off, she stepped into the room and quickly introduced herself to Nicky's mom and updated her on her son's surgery. "We should be done in about an hour or so and we'll let you know more then," she finished.
Scrubbing back in, Arizona took her place across from her wife once again. She gave a few vague answers to Callie's questions about her chat with Nicky's mother. She didn't want anything to take Callie focus.
Closing Nicky up, the two scrubbed out together, but before Callie could leave the room Arizona grabbed her arm. "There's something I need to tell you about Nicky's mom."
"What is it?" Callie asked without much concern.
Arizona wasn't sure how to tell her wife, but she needed to know. If she hadn't of been sure her wife was in surgery, she would have thought she was talking to her in that waiting room. They were almost identical. Which only left one possibility in Arizona's mind. "I think she might be your sister."
