A/N: First of all: WOW! You guys are awesome, your reviews really made my day! Second: Don't hate Arizona for hanging up on Callie before you heard her part of the story. Third: Hmm.. I don't really have a third, so let's just skip that. =D Forth: This is the second chapter I uploaded today, so I'll probably upload the next one tomorrow. But, since I don't really have anyting to do (except for cleaning up, but writing this story definitely trumps that), it's possible that I'll finish writing the 7th part today and in this case I will upload the next part before I'll go to bed. But I won't promise anything, especially since my sleeping pattern is a little off lately and I could fall asleep before I finish writing part VII. Fifth: I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Disclaimer: Don't own anything.


Part IV

Arizona's POV

"Callie, why are you calling?" I asked angrily, effectively ignoring her question. Why did she suddenly care how I was? A few hours ago she didn't seem that interested.

"You okay? Where are you?", she insisted to know.

Might as well tell her, I thought. "I'm at Seattle Presby...", I started, but she interrupted me.

"I love you!", she all but yelled.

"What?" Are you freaking kidding me? She couldn't be serious. I was very tempted to hang up right then.

"I love you", she repeated, "and I wanna be with you.." Only then I realized that her voice sounded a little off. I knew her voice well, so I could tell something was up. Her words were slurry and I actually had a hard time understanding her.

"Are you drunk?", I asked, not even trying to hide my anger. She calls me after telling me she hates me, only to drunkenly profess her love? Is this a joke to her?

I didn't even listen to what she was saying. "Callie! I can't do this right now!", I told her before I angrily shut my phone and shoved it back in my pocket. I was furious. How could she call me like that?

My hands were shaking as I started to scrub in. Closing my eyes I tried to calm myself down. I needed to ban her from my thoughts. Taking slow, deep breaths I somehow managed to control myself. I wouldn't allow her to have this power over me. I am Arizona Robbins, a good man in a storm!

With that thought I stepped into the OR. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to operate on Ruby myself, but I watched the attending Ped's surgeon very closely, trying my best to focus on the procedure.

Mark's POV

Callie was on the phone talking to Arizona, at least I hoped so. When the ambulance came. I told them to wait a minute to let them finish their talk.

"I don't wanna have kids, if that..", she stopped mid sentence. I looked at her inquiringly. Her mouth was still open and in her eyes glistered tears.

"What happened?", I asked. She looked up at me, swallowing hard.

"She just hung up", her voice sounded defeated.

"Is she okay?"

"I.. I guess. She's at Seattle Presbit.. Preybe.. Pres..", she stumbled over the word, the morphine was still obvious in the way she talked. I started stroking her hair again as the first tears made their way down her cheeks.

"Hey, at least we know now that she's out of the danger. And now we'll go to Seattle Presbyterian and find her, okay?", I comforted her like a child, and from the look she gave me I knew it was exactly what she needed.

"Okay", she mumbled. Her voice quiet and broken. I continued stroking her hair as I waved the paramedics over. After we'd gotten her safely in the ambulance she closed her eyes, tears now streaming freely over her beautiful features.

Callie's POV

I was laying on the gurney in the ambulance. In my mind I went over the conversations I had with Arizona today. I couldn't believe that I actually told her I hated her. She looked so hurt afterwards and I wish I could take it back now.

I felt so tired. My fight with Arizona had worn me out. No wonder I didn't feel the pain of my wound so bad. I was already hurting in the worst way possible. After Arizona told me she didn't trust me or our relationship I was stunned, had I never expected this. Couldn't she see how much I loved her, that she was my world?

I tried to tell her on the phone, but she wouldn't listen to me. I wondered what happened to her during the lock down. Did she see the shooter? Did he come to the Ped's wing, holding his gun at her head? Unbearable images were cursing through my head. No, no! Don't think like that. I told myself. You talked to her, she sounded fine. Just angry.

That thought made me even sadder. Arizona wasn't usually an angry person. She was always bright, shiny and perky. Knowing that it was me who got her so mad almost made me sick. I need to find her. I need to make her listen to me. I need her to understand. Because I knew now. I knew I couldn't live without her.

I felt the ambulance stopping and as the paramedics unloaded the gurney I opened my eyes, which felt heavier again, looking for Mark. He was still by my side, he was such a good friend to me and I could never thank him enough. I just needed to ask one more thing of him.

"Mark?", my voice sounded weak. He instantly looked at me worried.

"I'm here, Callie", he spoke softly, never letting go of my hand.

"Can you find Arizona, please? See, if she is okay?", I pleaded.

"I can do that. I can definitely do that. But you have to promise me something too", he told me.

I nodded, fighting now to keep my eyes open.

"You'll be going straight to surgery and you're going to be alright. You need to promise me that you'll be okay too!" I could see tears in his eyes. The day had been hard for him too.

I nodded again. "I'll do my best", I tell him before he let go of my hand and some doctors took me away.

Mark's POV

We finally arrived at Seattle Presbyterian. They rushed Callie away to prepare her for surgery immediately. After knowing that Arizona was safe she had been much calmer. Before they took her to away I promised her to go and find Arizona myself, to make sure she was alright.

I desperately wanted to stay with Callie, but I knew she was in good hands now and there was nothing more I could do for her. I took a minute to compose myself again. Patching up Karev today was one of the hardest things I had ever done. I'm a doctor, I save lives, it's what we do. But saving Karev today, putting in a chest tube, while hearing him scream, I don't know how I did that. Adding to that the fact that he was with Lexie now, the woman I loved so much. It was almost too much.

But I couldn't think of that now. I had promised Callie to look for Arizona, so that was what I was going to do. I made my way through the hospital looking for familiar faces. In the lobby I found Teddy. She was already wearing red scrubs.

"Teddy!", I called. She turned around, her eyes showing relief as she saw me. I know our recent history wasn't that good, but I couldn't resist hugging her. I genuinely liked her and was glad she was okay.

"Is it true? There was a shooter?", she asked me.

"Yeah, I saw him", her eyes went wide at that, "Alex has a GSW to the chest and is hopefully in surgery right now and Callie was shot in the shoulder and lost a lot of blood, but I hope she pulls through."

"Oh my god. Do you know anything else?", she asked, needing to find out about all our friends.

"No. Have you by any chance seen Arizona? I'm looking for her.", I asked, remembering my promise, "She must be around here somewhere."

"She got out?", Teddy asked hopefully. I knew they were close friends by now, so I nodded, knowing she needed the reassurance.

"Callie talked to her on the phone, but she wanted me to find her anyway to make sure she's alright", I told her.

"Have you tried the Ped's ward, yet?", she suggested.

"No, but I'm going to head there right now. You wanna come?"

"No, I'll go down to the ORs and see if they need help. Can you call me when you find her?"

"Sure." I hugged her one last time and continued my search for Arizona. I followed the signs to the Ped's floor, but before I reached it my phone rang. It was Teddy.

Teddy's POV

After Mark walked away I turned around and started looking for the ORs. I offered the chief of surgery my help and he thankfully accepted. The hospital was swamped and they needed all the help they could get.

I finally found the OR board. I studied it quickly, it was a mess. Alex Karev was in OR 1, OR 3 to 5 were occupied by other gun shot victims. A resident added something to the board, only increasing the the mess. After the resident was done he headed into OR 2. Teddy saw, that the young surgeon had put Callie's name on the board. Her surgery was scheduled in OR 2, which was currently occupied by an emergency appendectomy.

I stepped into the scrub room, which connected OR 1 and 2. To my left was OR 1, where Alex was laying. I was about to step into the room, when I shot a quick glance to the other OR.

I stopped dead in my tracks. There was someone with dark blue scrubs standing between the other surgeons. I recognized immediately who it was.

I quickly pulled out my phone and called Mark, before stepping into OR 2.

The operating surgeon didn't even look up when I entered the OR. "I told you, I need 15 more minutes, then you can have the OR", she told me sternly. Obviously the resident had informed her, that they needed the OR.

I looked to Arizona. She stood there, completely calm, watching the procedure. Does she even know Callie has been shot? I couldn't help but wonder.

I step next to her. "Arizona", I addressed her quietly. She jumped, obviously she didn't notice me before.

"Oh, hey Teddy", her voice sounded normal, almost perky. "What are you doing here?", she asked, looking back down to the girl on the table.

"Well, I came to check up on Karev, but then I saw you and wanted to make sure you're okay." Why was she acting like nothing had happened?

"I'm fine. You know, considering the circumstances", she shrugged it off. "What's with Karev?"

How can she possibly handle this so easily? I stared at her in shock.

Arizona's POV

The surgeon did an excellent job. Not that I hadn't expected that, but I had promised Ruby's family to take care of her, so that's what I did. Focusing on the procedure also helped getting my mind off of Callie.

Towards the end of the surgery a young resident came into the OR, telling us to hurry because they needed the OR for a gun shot victim. I didn't really give that any thought and went back to observing the other surgeon.

Slowly my mind drifted off to Callie again. Our earlier argument, or rather fight, was playing over and over in my head, like a broken record. Her words really hurt me so much, that I was beginning to wish I never went after her into that bathroom at Joe's. Don't think like that, Arizona! I told myself. Focus on Ruby. Focus...

"Arizona", a soft voice startled me out of my thoughts and made me jump slightly.

I looked up and found Teddy looking down at me concerned. "Oh, hey Teddy. What are you doing here?" My voice was far from it's usual perk, but I had decided on not letting to show anyone how broken and hurt I really was. I was genuinely surprised to see Teddy here. Maybe she had an emergent patient transferred here as well.

"Well, I came to check up on Karev, but then I saw you and wanted to make sure you're okay." What is it with everybody asking me if I'm okay?

"I'm fine. You know, considering the circumstances." No, don't think of Callie, I ordered myself and quickly changed the subject. "What's with Karev?"

When she didn't answer I looked back up again. She stared at me as if I had grown a second head. "Teddy, what's wrong?"

"You.. you haven't heard?", she stuttered out.

"Heard what?" I was beginning to get worried. What's going on here? Is there something wrong with Karev?

"I think we should talk in private. You're done here, right?", with that she pulled me out of the OR.

Mark's POV

After Teddy called me to tell me she found Arizona I quickly made my way to the OR floor. It was swamped. Patient beds were everywhere. Doctors and nurses were running around, yelling at each other. The OR board was a mess.

I looked through a glass door into the scrub room, that connected OR 1 and 2. It wasn't hard to spot Arizona. Her dark blue scrubs were shining through the red ones like a neon sign at night. Teddy had taken her by the hand as they stepped into the scrub room.

Arizona looked confused and slightly angry at Teddy. I stepped into the room, drawing Arizona's attention to me.

"Mark? What are you doing here? What's going on?", she demanded to know.

Hold it! Doesn't she know what happened? I looked at Teddy but the cardio surgeon's gaze was directed to OR 1. I follow her gaze and saw Karev laying on the table. Arizona realized we were staring behind her and turned around. As she saw what we were staring at she yelled out in shock.

"Is that Alex Karev?"

Arizona's POV

Teddy's weird behavior confused, worried and angered me. What the hell is going on? Why wouldn't she just tell me?

As we entered the scrub room I turned to face her. "Will you tell me what's going.."

But I was interrupted by the door opening. I looked up to see Mark coming in. "Mark? What are you doing here? What's going on?" My voice grew louder and angrier. He didn't look me in the eye and instead shifted his gaze to Teddy. I looked at them, my anger now in full force. What are those two up to?

But my anger subsided, when I followed their gaze in the OR behind me.

"Is that Alex Karev?", I yelled, although I was pretty sure it was him. I could see his face clearly but I couldn't believe my eyes. What was Alex Karev doing in an OR? "Why is he here?", I demanded to know.

Mark looked me straight in the eye. I could see he was thinking about what to say to me.

"He was shot", he finally said. My mouth dropped open in disbelieve and shock. Before I could say anything he continued.

"There was a shooter in the hospital."
