Callie: When she smiles at you, everything gets better. She's giving you her best super magic smile.

Callie's POV

"Alright, baby. See you around," I said as I bid farewell to Arizona as we got to work and went our separate ways.

We kissed and she was off to be her smart doctor self.

"Good morning, Dr. Torres. You are just in time. We just had a little girl come in. She dislocated her ankle playing soccer," Bailey said, reading over some charts.

"Me? What about the PED's orthopedic surgeon?" I asked.

"Out sick. Girl's name is Hayden. Now go!" Bailey ordered.

"Yes ma'am!" I said.

I was excited. I got to work with Arizona!

"Oh, and Torres, behave yourself!" Bailey said.

I laughed and started towards Hayden's room. As I was walking to her room, I saw Arizona looking over her binder.

"Arizona! Baby! How's you been girl!" I practically yelled.

Arizona looked at me, looked around, and then looked back at me.

"What are you doing here, Calliope? Don't you have patients you should be getting to?" Arizona asked a little nervously, almost as if she was afraid I was going to get into trouble.

"Sure do." I planted a kiss on her cheek and walked into Hayden's room.

A little brunette girl in pigtails and a red soccer uniform was sitting on the bed, clutching her ankle. Her two parents and baby sister were watching over me carefully. The father had a dissaproving look on his face.

I picked up her charts and looked them over.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Torres. I am the orthopedic surgeon. I will be assisting you today," I said as I held out my hand.

No one moved to shake it so I took it to my head and ran my fingers through my hair.

"So, you dislocated your ankle at soccer practice?" I said, looking over her x-rays.

"Yes, ma'am. It hurts a ..." Hayden started to say, but her father cut her off.

"Hayden, you do not talk to this doctor. Now, will she need surgery?" the father asked, not looking at me.

What?

"Yes, some bones in her leg were misplaced, also. The major ones I can pop back into place. The little ones will need surgery. Some ligaments were torn, also, so they will need fixing, too," I explained, looking him straight in the face.

He still looked away.

"You won't be working alone, will you?" the father asked.

"Ummm, no. Dr. Robbins will be assisting me," I said, smiling, as I read the surgery form.

"May we meet her?" the mother asked.

"Of course! I'll go her!" I said.

I put Hayden's charts back and went out into the hallway to get Arizona.

I found her in the same place as I last saw her.

"Ummm, the patients parents would like to meet you. So they know who will be performing her surgery," I explained.

She followed me into Hayden's room.

"Hello! I am Dr. Robbins. I will be performing surgery on your daughter with Dr. Torres," Arizona said, as she also held out her hand.

The father glared at us.

"There are no other doctors who could do the surgery? Anyone other than...you two?" the father asked.

The way he said 'you two' made me just want to punch him in the face.

"I'm sorry. Is there a problem?" Arizona asked in her sweetest voice.

"Yes. Yes. There is a HUGE problem! You two are lesbians! I cannot, I will not, let two scum bag fags operate on my daughter!" the father yelled.

I looked at the floor, trying to control my anger. I was about to beat the shit out of this guy.

Arizona grabbed my shoulder and squeezed it.

"I'm sorry, sir. We are the only surgeons available to do this procedure," Arizona explained.

How can she be so calm?

"Then we are going to a different hospital. No fags are allowed in our presence!" the father yelled.

I pushed up my sleeves. I was not going to let this guy destroy me.

"Calliope..." Arizona said, getting a better grip on my shoulder.

"Alright, excuse me, sir! I am a grown woman. A doctor. Who gives a shit if I am lesbian? I sure don't. Dr. Robbins sure doesn't. No one at this hospital does! My relationship with Dr. Robbins is no different than you and your wife's relationship. No one deserves to be talked about the way you were just talking. Dr. Robbins sure as hell doesn't. She is one of the best doctors you will ever find. So go to another hospital...Hayden's procedure just won't be as well done!" I yelled, using all of my energy.

"What is all the commotion about?" Bailey asked as she came through the door.

"I'm done here for now. Let me know what they decide," I mumbled as I stormed out of the room.

I walked down the hallway and threw open the door of the on-call room. I sat down on the bed and buried my face in my hands.

"Hey."

I looked up and Arizona was standing in the doorway. She came in quietly and shut the door behind her. She sat next to me.

"What you did in there, the way you stood up to that man, that was very brave of you. I want to thank you, for sticking up for me," Arizona said.

I looked her in the eyes.

"You know that I've always got your back. I love you more than anything and nothing can change that. If we are not accepted I would run away with you. You're the only thing I need to happy," I said.

Arizona put her arms around me.

"I love you too, Calliope."
