A/N: So we're after finale. How are you everybody? I changed events a little bit and I'm thinking about changing it to Laurzona fic! Have fun and rewievs are always welcomed!
Arizona entered to NICU as she noticed that there were less stuff then she had expected. Karev, Edwars and Wilson came to her and listened what they had to do. Arizona explained them everything, she was scared, she was scared as hell but she needed to be strong. She still couldn't handle what had just happened but she decided not to think about it. Suddenly Lauren appeared.
"You need some help?" she asked. She wasn't that smiley Lauren from three or four hours ago, she was just sad.
"No" Arizona responded. "I... I thought that I told you..." she started without looking in Lauren's eyes. She knew that she would see pain in those beautiful green eyes so she decided not to torture herself.
"I'm not gonna sit on my hands while there's a room full of babies that need help. What can I do?"
Alex explained her how she could help and she left the group. She indeed was hurt but then all that matters was babies which she could save. She still cared about Arizona but she was so mad at her for leaving her in that position.
During the night they both were focused on work. They avoided each other but when it came out that there was a problem with batteries, Lauren decided to comfort her new friend.
"Found another red light on the hitchens baby in the back." Stephanie said.
"That makes two more so far." She was so afraid that she might lose all the children, she wouldn't handle it. She lost everything that night and she just couldn't lose her job.
"Three. I just found another one, too, but it's fine." Lauren wasn't mad anymore, she wanted to help Arizona. "I'll just jump in and bag my baby when it's time and Dr. Edwards can bag hers." She was confident with her words.
"We don't know how long the power's gonna be off. We could be bagging these babies all night."
"We'll bag all night." Lauren and Arizona caught eye contact first time since the on-call room. And all their madness went away. They again was there for each other. "It's fine. We can do this."
"Thank you." Arizona said with a smile. 'Jackson was right about Lauren that she was one of those people that just make you feel like you're capable of anything.' Arizona thought. She felt so save with her and she knew that everything would be just fine as long as Lauren would be around.
It was crazy night there were no time for talking or flirting but when everything was under the control Lauren decided to talk to Arizona.
"My baby's doing great. I extubated her. She's on a nasal cannula." Lauren said softly. "We gonna talk?" she looked deeply in those blue eyes.
"I made a mistake" Lauren felt like her world was going to rip apart. "I don't wanna talk about this right now." Arizona said, she just didn't want to make decisions she just want to go to bed and sleep. And never wake up.
"I'm not gonna leave things like this, though" she gave her one of her magical smiles. "I like you. A lot. So if you change your mind, then..." Arizona didn't have a chance to respond as she heard a familiar voice talking to her.
"You will not believe the night I have had so far." Callie looked tried, really tired. She was up for more than 24 hours she needed some sleep.
"Hey Callie" Arizona responded nervously.
Light went back to work, everything was just so bright and clear. Lauren placed her hand on hip and then Callie world fell apart.
"Hey, is that is that Arizona's ring pinned to... your scrub top?" Callie knew the answer. She was cheated on for the second time. She couldn't hear Lauren's respond. She knew what had happened. She knew.
"Yeah. Oh, I mean, it must be." She didn't want to make that choice for Arizona. It was all up for the blonde doctor. Lauren wanted to help Arizona. They didn't do anything wrong. "Um, we had a pyloric stenosis baby. Projectile-vomited all over the place. I got soaked. " Lauren took off the ring and handed it to her almost lover hands. "Arizona... was nice enough to lend me some scrubs. Thank you, by the way. You're a lifesaver."
Callie couldn't spoke. She was frozen. She stared at them. She saw the guilt. But she didn't know everything.
"I thought... I thought we were past the hard stuff." Callie was angry and frustrated and she couldn't breathe. "I thought... I thought we were finally good."
"We were. We... we are. Between me and Lauren didn't happen anything I promise you. I promise you with my whole heart." Arizona had tears in her eyes but she couldn't broke. She had to stay strong, she had to be sure what she was saying to her wife.
"We're married!"
" I know."
"We... God, we have a child!"
"I know!"
" How could you do this?"
"I didn't do anything wrong Callie" Arizona was yelling.
"So why the hell YOUR RING, your sign of love was on her scrub top?! How you can explain that?" Callie cried, she didn't care about tears she was humiliated twice. "After all that's happened this year everything we've been through, everything we've survived... the bankruptcy, Mark, the plane..."
"Oh, you weren't on the plane, Callie! You weren't in the woods, and you did not hear Meredith crying for Lexie and Mark moaning in pain or hearing me scream in pain. You weren't there, and you keep acting like you were, but you weren't, and it wasn't your experience!" she broke.
"I lost Mark. You almost died. You..."
"You almost died. You weren't on the freaking plane! You want it? The street cred? The badge of honor? The warrior wounds? Then great. Stick out your leg, and I will go grab a bone saw, and let's even the score!"
"It always comes back to the leg" brunette couldn't believed that all her acting was because of her freaking leg.
"I trusted you, more than anything, more than anyone... in my life. And you decided to cut it off. " she meant all word but she needed to took this off her chest.
"To save your life!" Callie yelled back.
"You didn't lose anything! I did! I did!" Arizona was blaming her wife for every bad situation that came after the plane crash"
"Apparently, I lost you." Callie said that and she wasn't crying anymore. Her wife was still in the woods.
"Callie, I didn't cheat on you. I promise" after calming down Arizona started explaining. "We only kissed, we took each other's clothes off but we didn't have sex" As the blonde was telling the story the images came back to her mind.
"Arizona" Lauren lost her hope, she doubted if hot blonde would have listened "You are allowed to lose a little bit of control."
Arizona had a million thoughts in a minute but she was sure that Lauren didn't want to hurt her, Lauren wanted her. Lauren got her so well so she turned around to the green eyed doctor and started kissing her like it was no tomorrow. Arizona's lips were so soft and so sweet that Lauren didn't want to leave them, never. Arizona pushed the coat from Lauren's arms as she wanted to take off Arizona's trousers. But then Arizona hesitated, she wasn't beautiful. She was damaged, she hadn't had the leg, she wasn't sexy. She was broken. Arizona pushed her lover away and said
"Lauren, I'm so sorry but I can't, I just can't"
"Arizona, you're beautiful!" and she meant that. "Don't you ever dare thinking otherwise, you hear me?" Lauren knew that it was all about the leg. But she really didn't mind, Arizona was breathtahing pretty, with or without the leg.
Arizona took her clothes and left the room. When the doors closed she started crying, she wanted do that, she wanted to lose control with Lauren. She trusted Boswell but she wasn't a cheater. Lauren sit on the bed and she knew that Arizona wanted her but she wasn't sure about her feelings.
"Just because you didn't have sex, it doesn't mean that you don't cheat on me!" Callie was surprised how shallow her wife was there in that moment.
"I think we need a break. We just can't talk to each other" Arizona admitted.
"I don't think it's break, it's over Arizona" Callie decided. "I won't forgive you, never! You hurt me! You knew how George betrayal hit me and you still did that. It was an amazing relationship I thought that we could grow old together but I was wrong. You're not a bad person but you're in a dark place and I can't put myself and my daughter into this. I am so sorry that it's going to end in this way" Callie said, she was sure about her feelings.
"I am so deeply sorry Calliope" Arizona said through the tears and left the room.
She needed to talk to Lauren, she had to make everything right. She saw her next to the coffee machine she took her hand and they headed for on-call rom. Lauren was surprised but she was glad that Arizona finally wanted to talk about this. Arizona closed the door and looked deep in those green eyes.
"Lauren, we need to talk" Arizona said, she was calm and confident.
"Before you say anything hear me out" Lauren said. "First of all, I can go to Callie and tell her that it was only my fault that we kissed. I pushed you, I overstep." She took a breath.
"Lauren…" peds surgeon started but she was interrupted.
"Don't. Hear me out please. Jackson just offered me a permanent job here. I can stay here but I need to know if there's a ray of hope for us. I won't ask you to leave your wife and a child." Lauren said, now she was almost crying. "Arizona, just give me the reason to stay and I'll stay. I don't want to make you uncomfortable at you place of work. I want that to be good for both of us but I just want to be around you. We don't have to be in a relationship, we could be friends right?" she was mumbling. "Just please, please give me the reason to stay"
Arizona sat on the bed, she was so tired and she couldn't believe that her marriage was over and she started falling for new person. And it all happened during one night.
"Stay" it was all she could say. Lauren sat next to her and took her hand into hers. They fitted perfecty. Arizona head rested on Lauren's shoulders as the craniofacial specialist put her arm on Arizona's back. Arizona started crying and Lauren had also tears in her eyes because she couldn't handle that Arizona was in pain mostly because of her. However she didn't regret anything. She put her head onto Arizona's and they sat like that until the sun was rising up. It was new day, no storm around. Now they had to figure this whole thing out.
