...

"Callie. Callie. Wake up." those were the words Callie heard as consciousness slowly embraced her body. She felt droplets of water hitting her face as she willed her eyes to open up.

"Hmmm." Callie replied still groggy.

"Hey! She is up." Meredith's voice was the one that collided with her ears and finally registered in her brain as a coherent meaningful sentence.

"Oh! Callie sweetie! Are you okay?" a very distressed Barbara asked the same moment Callie felt someone take a hold of her hand. Judging by the texture and the soft hold of the hand, it was easy to ascertain that Barbara Robbins was the owner.

"Yeah! Yeah! I am okay." Callie finally emitted her first comprehensible words after achieving consciousness. She looked around and suddenly became very confused and self-conscious. Her living room was filled to the brim with people. All of them being her friends and family. The atmosphere was very tense and the silence was equally heavy. She was lying awkwardly on the couch with Meredith hovering over her and Barbara sitting next to her. She could feel all the eyes boring at her façade trying to determine how she was, how she would react. But she had no idea why she was here and the feeling of vulnerability was increasing by the second.

"What happe…" she started speaking as she compelled her body to bear its weight and sit up. All the tiredness she was feeling was perplexing. But before she could finish her sentence her eyes landed on the stranger standing in the far corner of the room with his spic and span uniform and a calm yet strict stance.

All air left her body as reality took its place, crashing right into her soul and almost making her succumb to the world of unconsciousness again.

"Mija, breathe. Everything is ok." Her dad came to stand right in front of her, capturing her attention, distracting her from the harsh reality. While, Barbara gently squeezed her hand.

That is when she realized she was surrounded by her people. And felt their support and fought the rising bile in her stomach as she looked at them questioningly. Trying to silently communicate her urgent need for answers. Words were not going to support her in this moment and she knew it.

Before anyone could speak or answer, the messenger of the dark news, the officer, purposefully walked towards the center of the room and stood right in front of Callie, his dark, hard gaze directly meeting Callie's distraught one. All the occupants now had their gazes locked on Officer Miller.

"Miss Robbins is okay." he stated in a flat but strong tone, his voice commanding attention. "She's at Seattle Pres'."

"What are you talking about? We know the car blew up..." Callie interjected, looking at the others but receiving no support. Looked like they already knew what had happened while she was busy indulging in her art of being weak and fainting.

"It did, but the paramedics and recur services arrived before it happened and got Ms. Robbins out of the car on time. She's been sent to Seattle Pres'. She's injured, but she's not dead." The officer finished his speech, by placing a much needed emphasis on the last line.

A feeling of relieve filled the living room, and Callie gasped in between shock and misunderstanding.

"See she is okay. I told you she would come with a crappy excuse!" Alex said, smiling at Callie trying to make her laugh.

"What happened exactly? You already told us that she is alive but what exactly took place?" Daniel Robbins asked, in his ever curious and stern colonel style, but still in a worried voice.

The officer looked at the colonel and maintained a steady eye contact as he replied. "Well the initial reports and the driver of the other vehicle suggest that, she apparently tried to overtake a car and lost control of her vehicle. Apart from that she was going at a very high speed that caused further damage." The cop relayed what he knew.

"Another car was involved? What about the passengers?" Bailey asked worried for other lives that could have suffered in the other car.

"There was only one person in the other car, a woman. She's not really injured. She's been sent to the hospital to be checked out, that's all I can tell you. She's not in danger at all." He added the last line as an afterthought to calm down the agitation he saw rising in a few occupants of the room.

A contemplative silence took over the room as everyone processed the new information and tried to understand what might have happened. Some reflecting on why Arizona would be driving at a high speed or how she lost control of the car. While others were just thanking God for her being alive. But Callie was in a different world of thoughts. She couldn't process even a single word properly. All that was echoing in her mind over and over again like music from a broken record was 'she is alive'. But her mind was failing to wrap itself around the statement and believe it. Her mind was reeling with memories from a few years before when she was told Arizona was dead, then told she was alive, and then again her being in a hospital bed fighting for her life.

"As the car blew up seconds after we got her out, we weren't able to get any sort of identification papers. A nurse at Seattle Presbyterian hospital later recognized her as Dr. Arizona Robbins. we tried to contact miss Callie Torres as she was the emergency contact but her cell phone was off and then things got very complicated at the accident site, so after getting that under control I was sent here to personally inform you." The officer then supplied, explaining the reason of the delayed news. Callie couldn't understand how is voice was so calm while Callie felt herself breaking into pieces.

"This is totally insane!" April exclaimed all of a sudden making a few people jump. "Arizona would have never taken any risks. She wasn't comfortable with driving, so she would never drive at a high speed..."

Callie didn't even register the sharp and loud voice of April Kepner as a thought pushed itself in her mind taking root and started growing exponentially by the second. 'She is alive but injured. What if she is injured badly and might die.'

"I have to see her!" Callie suddenly said aloud, halting Kepner in her speech of outrage.

"We are going to the hospital, you should rest a little Callie. You just fainted a few minutes ago. We will call you when we get there and tell you everything." Daniel Robbins said, grabbing his jacket.

"I need to see her!" Callie snapped at him, yelling loudly and creating a scene which as a result made Ethan cry. Thankfully the girls were asleep.

Teddy stood up and walked to the couch where Callie was sitting.

"Let's go Callie!" Teddy said, grabbing her friend's hand. "We have to leave right now. She must be waiting for you!"

Callie stood up robotically with a stoic face lacking any sort of feeling, letting herself be led by Teddy and Stanley.

"Take care of the kids Mer!" She said to her friend as they were walking out of the house.

"Don't worry, I have got them. Go to your Arizona."

Her Arizona. Yes she needed to get there as fast as possible. She didn't think she could handle loosing Arizona again.

Without any detail on Arizona's state or injuries, the ride to Seattle Pres' was more than a little tense. Callie was totally lost and unable to think straight. The only thing she had in mind was that the love of her life was alive somewhere, but surely hurt, again. But she had no idea how badly hurt she was. So Callie did the best thing she thought she could do, she prayed, she prayed for the mother of her children to be safe; as safe as she could be.

It was like a recurring thing in their life. Each time they were happy and everything seemed to finally be alright, fate started playing some dark twisted game with them. And she was getting tired of it.

"She's going to be okay Callie." Teddy said, rubbing her back slowly while Stanley was driving. "She's strong, you know that by now! She's immortal!"

The words made Callie smile as tears rolled on her face.

"I should call the hospital. They might give us some basic information on her state." Every word that Callie spoke was laced with desperation and she looked so broken that it shattered Teddy's heart into pieces.

"We'll be there in less than 5 minutes. Don't worry. Barbara and Daniel are on their way too." Teddy explained as she engulfed Callie in a hug so as to create some sense of comfort; even a false one. "Don't freak out before we know what's going on, okay?"

"Okay." She whispered, wiping her cheeks.

As soon as Stanley parked the car, Teddy and Callie rushed out and ran to the admittance desk. The hospital was not like SGMW. The doctors, nurses and staff were wearing different color scrubs then what they were used to. The layout of the place was quite different. The ambiance inside alone made them feel alienated. It was a foreign place, and they couldn't barge in where they wanted because here they were the patient's family and not doctors.

"We're here for Arizona Robbins." Teddy said as fast as she could. "A police officer told us she was in an accident and she was sent here." She didn't want to waste even a single second.

"And you are Miss Torres?" The nurse asked in a monotone voice after she had finished typing and getting the basic required information for Arizona.

"I'm a friend and this is Dr. Callie Torres. Can you give us some news please?"

Right then a petite balding man, wearing a white coat approached the group. "Hello Dr. Torres and Dr. Altman, I'm Dr. Nelson. Dr. Bailey called me and told me about your arrival. Please follow me, I will take you to Miss Robbins and I will explain her condition on the way."

And just like that, after sending a silent thank you to bailey, the group started following Dr. Nelson.

…...

A few hours later, Callie was sitting next to Arizona's bed in a private room. She was holding her hand tenderly and kissing it occasionally. While Arizona was lying in the bed still unconscious. She had a few minor cuts and bruises on the face and body but apart from that there was no physical evidence of any accident. But the sight of the peads surgeon, unconscious and helpless on the bed was enough of a reminder of the gruesome event for Callie.

But Arizona was safe and it was the only thing that mattered. She had been injured, but she was safe. And she was going to be okay. Somehow she had come out of the mess less hurt than what was expected. And for her part, Callie couldn't be more thankful.

Eventually Callie noticed that the sleeping beauty was waking up, so Callie scooted closer to the bed and placed a hand on her cheek softly.

"It's alright honey, take your time." Callie whispered tenderly, her eyes reflecting all the love that she felt for this woman. "It's alright."

The blonde's eyes blinked several times before the finally opened them properly and focused on Callie's adoring brown gaze. The spectacle of the most beautiful blue eyes, almost melted Callie's heart. And for a few moments the dazzling smile of Callie and mesmerizing brown eyes that could reach the very depth of her soul, was all that Arizona could focus on. But after a few seconds Arizona tore her gaze away from Callie and tried to look around and recognize her surroundings.

But her mind came up empty. Until suddenly in a split of second everything came rushing back to her mind, breaking whatever dam that her unconscious mind had constructed. The view of the over speeding car flashed before her eyes and she was taken back to that time and place when the accident occurred. Callie felt the panic in her blue eyes and it didn't take her mind even a second to realize what was happening.

"Hey, hey! Look at me!" Callie said as she grabbed her hand. "It's okay. You are safe. It's all okay." Callie didn't know for whose sake she was repeating the line, to calm Arizona or to make herself believe.

Callie's warm soothing voice did the job and Arizona came out of her stupor and the panic attack was defeated before it could even commence. But then new questions began forming in her head as she started worrying about the court date and her family.

"What? Where... Kerry?" Arizona mumbled, wanting to ask too many things at the same time but failing miserably in even voicing a single one. Her desperation increased and she started to strain her muscles commanding them to assist her to sit up.

"Hold on honey! The kids are alright and I'm here. Just lie down and I will explain everything." Callie immediate stood up and held Arizona's shoulder, forcing her to lie back down and she tried to calm the raging protective mother.

This was all too familiar and Arizona didn't want it to be real. Waking up in a hospital bed and meeting Callie's worried but loving face, smiling and telling her everything was alright. She felt an intense sense of Déjà vu. After Callie's assurances she fell back down on the bed and abandoned her tries of getting up. After helping Arizona calm down, Callie sat on the bed and gingerly kissed her forehead avoiding any cuts.

"You've been in an accident. But you're okay." Callie explained. "You were having an internal hemorrhage, so they had to remove your spleen, but everything went well. You're out of danger. I checked all the charts myself."

"Where am I?" Arizona asked as she knew this was not their hospital.

"You are at Seattle Pres', but you're okay... I'm here babe." Callie said while stroking her hair softly.

"What happened?" Arizona asked timidly though she already remembered each and every moment of what had transpired a few hours ago.

"Your car crashed in a wall just off the road and toppled over." Callie explained. "Apparently, you were over speeding and tried to overtake a car and you ..."

"Oh no!" Arizona stopped Callie mid explanation with her almost shouted words of disagreement. "I … I didn't do that. This car, this grey car was... pushing mine out of the road..." Arizona explained frantically, her hands gesturing wildly and flailing in all haphazard directions.

"Arizona." Callie said softly. "It's not important. You lost control of your car, but you're alive and that's the only thing that matters."

Arizona rolled her eyes and touched her forehead where she had a bandage, exasperated. "I did not try to overtake it..." she mumbled, trying to explain what really happened but Callie was having none of it.

"The driver of the other car is alright. You crashed into the other car and ended up in that wall." Callie explained. "You must have had an epilepsy crisis and lost consciousness for a moment. You don't need to worry, it was not your fault. We will make sure not to let you drive and we will get a proper workup done so as to make sure that such a thing never happens. Thank God the other driver is okay though. And the officer said that the other driver was very nice and understood your condition and didn't press any charges. You don't need to be ashamed of this." Callie kept on rambling without looking at the blonde who was not agreeing with her words at all. Callie was suddenly thankful of how things had turned out that she could not stop herself from voicing all her thoughts.

"No... I didn't... it wasn't my fault." Arizona yelled, which brought Callie's rant to an abrupt stop. "I saw it bump in my car, trying to get me out of the road! The other driver was deliberately trying to hit my car." Arizona insisted, sure of what she remembered.

"Callie's right." Daniel Robbins said, making his presence known. He had entered the room right when Callie started her rant and had heard the last part of their conversation. "I just spoke with the officer who is in charge of the accident investigation. That's exactly what the other driver said."

Arizona rubbed her eyes, infuriated. Her own family was not believing her. She didn't want to argue at all. She was still under the effect of anesthesia, her whole body was hurting but most of all her headache was killing her. But she was sure of what she saw and remembered. She was right.

"That's not true! I swear, they pushed my car! I would have never..." Arizona stopped midsentence because of the intense wave of pain that suddenly took over her bruised body.

"Take it easy babe..." Callie pleaded, helping her lay back in her bed. "It doesn't matter what happened. You were stressed because of the adoption and everything, you were exhausted, and that's when the crisis occurred." Callie didn't know why Arizona was insisting on being correct even though being doctors, they both knew that this was an accident caused by an epilepsy episode. She was more worried about why it had occurred after such a long time and didn't really care about who did what.

"I wasn't exhausted Callie. And I haven't had any crisis in months!" Arizona defended herself. "Can you believe me for once?" Arizona said in voice filled with fury and betrayal.

"Arizona Robbins!" her father interjected loudly. "Accept your mistake and deal with it! The other driver saw everything according to the police officer. Why would they lie?" he asked trying to knock some sense into his stubborn daughter.

"Colonel, please..." Callie begged him. "She just had a surgery and she's tired..."

"She needs to accept her mistake and stop being crazy. I taught her better than to force her faults on others." Daniel replied in a stern tone.

"Hey! I'm not broken or crazy! I know what happened!" Arizona broke their argument with her loudness.

But the colonel was not ready to give up. He wanted his daughter to own up to her mistake.

"So you remember everything. If that is true then tell me how did does the other driver look like. What was their hair color or what were they wearing. You surely would remember that if you were conscious and in control." He asked in a clearly challenging tone.

This made Arizona halt on her rage filled talking. "I didn't see the driver's face. He was wearing a black hood that was covering his face." Arizona replied as she tried hard to focus on the details of her memories. But her answer came out very unsure even to her own ears.

"She" Daniel corrected.

"What?" Arizona asked confused.

"The driver was a she. Not a he." Daniel explained. "And she was wearing a bright red shirt that any person in their right mind would have noticed." Arizona's face fell with this new information and she started doubting her own memories. Maybe she did have an epilepsy attack and her brain was filling in the gaps with false information.

Before anyone could say anything further, Stanley entered the room and smiled at Arizona.

"So, you're trying to scare us again." he tried to tease her, receiving death glares from everybody. "Wow... I'm sorry... But I wanted you to know that you won't have any trouble or charges pressed."

Arizona sighed and looked at all the people around her, understanding that nobody would believe her right now. Even she was starting to doubt herself in the face of such compelling evidence. And if her headache was any indicator then it could have been her brain that was at fault.

"I think I need to rest a little." She said. Trying to separate reality from imagination but failing miserably which was causing her extreme distress.

"Okay... Everybody out." Callie said pointing to the door for Daniel and Stanley to leave. "Are you alright here?" Callie asked lovingly after the couple was alone in the room.

Arizona simply nodded too tired to form words. Callie moved forward and lied down next to her carefully. She started stroking Arizona's hair softly which earned her a content sigh.

"I'm sorry…" Arizona's small and broken voice was heard after a few minutes of silence. Tears appeared in her eyes as she looked down at her hands joined with Callie's.

"Hey! Don't!" Callie said.

"It was supposed to be a good day."

"And it is now. You're here with me and that's the only thing I need." Callie replied with a soft smile followed by a kiss.

"What about the kids? Kerry must be so disappointed..."

"Don't worry, we already rescheduled everything." Callie explained, adjusting her head on the pillow. "We'll just have to wait for you to get out of here and in 3 weeks, and then we will sign the damn papers."

And soon Callie and Arizona entered the land of dreams holding each other as closely as they could, with a thankful smile on both of their faces.

"Hello Miss. I'm Officer Greene, I'm going to ask you a few question. May I see your ID First?"

"Of course officer." the blonde woman replied politely giving him her Identity card with a big smile.

"So Ms. Kennard... Can you tell me what happened?"

"Well, I don't know, I was just driving, and suddenly a car came at a very high speed. At first I was not worried as the car was in the other lane. But then the car started swerving left and right like the driver had lost control but they didn't decrease their speed. In fact in my assessment the speed of the car increased. And then suddenly the car was next to mine and tried to cross me. I didn't see it coming. The driver seemed weird. I mean, she wasn't really focused, you know what I mean?"

"Not really, but go on please..."

"She accelerated again and then she got behind my car, wheeling really close to it. I was about to turn when she changed her direction again, got on the other side of the road. That happened a few times. I think she was trying to keep her vehicle in control but then she suddenly swerved at the last moment... She bumped on the side of my car and I had the reflex to stop it. But it was too late for her and she hit the wall I think. I didn't see the impact and I was under shock."

"I understand. Is that why you didn't contact the authorities?"

"I'm sorry about that, I didn't know how to react... I just didn't know what had happened. I couldn't think at all."

"I can understand that mam. The shock must have been big. It happens. But why were you walking away from the scene when we arrived?"

"I was... I don't know, I didn't even see your car... I wasn't acting normally. I don't remember half of the things that took place after the accident."

"I get it Miss Kennard, don't worry. Your medical report suggested that you were in shock when you were received at the hospital. You're going to be examined by a doctor again to make sure that you are mentally stable now."

"Oh no, thank you, I'm okay!" she cut him off. "I have to go, I have an important meeting..."

"It's the procedure Mam. Just to follow me, it won't take long. Once the doctor clears you. You will be free to leave."
