Chapter 15
Climbing out of the pool. Arizona can't believe how amazing she feels. Although she ran cross country in high school and continued to run through college and med school, she never really enjoyed it as much as she did swimming. Swimming was always her favorite escape.
Grinning, she can't help but smile at Melanie as she holds up another prosthetic to try. "This one felt really good, but I didn't feel like I was getting much movement," she says as she removes the flipper and hands it up to her new friend.
"Yeah? Well, that is exactly what I thought of it too. I keep it in my bag because I can wear it if I'm just playing in the pool with my niece," as she talks she fits the flipper to her stump and is about to slip into the pool, when she realizes Arizona needs help getting this one on. "Here let me help", she says as Arizona comes up the ladder and sits beside her.
Heads together, Melanie shows the blonde the trick to getting this one on, the fit is almost perfect.
Sitting side by side, Arizona looks down, then sideways. Then she looks up embarrassed. "I have to confess, I've been avoiding this for months. My ex, she tried to get me to go to a support group at the YWCA for amputees, but I couldn't do it. It just makes me sad to think about a bunch of broken people sitting around talking about being broken." Pausing she looks around, then continues. "Thank you for showing me what 'not broken' looks like."
Taking a deep breathe, Melanie looks down at the water, then up to Arizona's face.
"You are so lucky to have people who support you. My first year as an amputee was spent angry and on the floor. I wouldn't let anyone help me. I tried to do everything myself. The turning point was when my brother brought another amputee over to my apartment to meet me. Can you believe, that he went to the Seattle Triathlon club and asked if any of them knew an amputee?
Then he tracks down this poor woman, explains my situation and convinces her to come to my apartment to talk with me." She pauses here and wipes the tears from her face. "It completely changed my life." Reaching over to touch the blonde's arm, "When Rebecca saw me swimming laps and told me about you, I didn't even hesitate when she asked me to meet with you, I knew it was my opportunity to share what was shared with me."
Slipping into the pool, she adds, "Now lets see what you've got Blondie!"
Wiping the tears off her face, Arizona slips into the pool and takes off after her.
Leaving the locker room, Arizona and Melanie hug good bye just as the elevator opens and Rebecca steps out. Melanie and the brunette chat a moment and hug goodbye and Melanie steps into the waiting elevator and leaves. Arizona grabs Rebecca's hand and moves to a bench to sit down. The blonde's eyes are a bright blue that Rebecca hasn't seen before. "You look amazing, good work out?" she asks, putting her arm around her.
Leaning into her, Arizona can't help but smile with tears in her eyes, she looks up and says, "Thank you. I feel amazing. I didn't realize how much I missed swimming. How did you know?"
Biting her lip, she hesitates, "Several times in med school, I saw you coming in to the pool when I was leaving. When I met Melanie at the Tri training group and we started working out together since we both live here, I mentioned you to her and she wanted to meet you".
Putting her fingers on the Rebecca's lips, the blonde looks her eyes, "I said thank you and now I'd like to show you"… standing up she pulls her up and towards the elevator, pushing her in she starts kissing her fiercely.
Closing the condo door Rebecca turns around and Arizona pushes her against the door, kissing her deeply. The brunette responds, pulling the damp t-shirt over the blonde's head and running her fingertips over her back to find the clasp of her bra. Arizona pulls at the Rebecca's tank top lifting it over her head and spinning her around, backing her up to the couch. The both fall over and Rebecca grabs her tightly so they don't fall off. Then using the momentum of the fall, Rebecca rolls Arizona under her and straddles her. Pushing her hands over her head, she teases the blonde with light kisses on her neck, working her way down her breasts. Pausing to tease each nipple.
The blonde laughs deeply, "Oh, I am going to be on top soon! And you will enjoy every minute of it...I assure you." she threatens playfully.
"We'll see. I may not let you." the brunette returns playfully and adjusts her position so that her thigh is well placed between Arizona's legs. She can feel the heat of her against her knee and she pauses for a moment. "I think we need more room…" she exclaims as she helps the blonde up and pushes her towards the bedroom.
Twisting around, Arizona pulls her towards her and Rebecca takes a few more steps and then pushes her onto the bed. She pauses a moment, just to looks at Arizona laying in front of her. "My god, you are so beautiful", she exclaims as she crawls up the bed. Smoothly, the blonde reaches down and removes her leg, as Rebecca falls on top of her and removes her underwear easily.
"Nice technique there Dr. Bernard", she says thickly. Stretching out so they are skin to skin, Rebecca reaches around her and releases her bra. "Just wait," she husks, as she begins kissing her way down her body. Trailing her long fingers down her side, the brunette finally crosses over her thigh, parting her slightly, Rebecca pauses and looks up at Arizona, smiles and drops down to taunt her with her tongue.
Arizona gasps at the contact, then moans and asks, "more, please!"
Rebecca complies and plunges two fingers in as as she pulls and sucks on her swollen clit.
Building quickly, Arizona cries out and her whole body trembles and she gasps and pulls at Rebecca's arms as she says shakily, "Don't move your hand, but please baby, please come up here beside me."
Rebecca moves up and kisses her, gently cupping her wetness. Shock waves erupt and the blonde trembles again, with both hands she cups the brunette's face and kisses her gently trying to catch her breath.
"Um, that was amazing," she says tasting herself on Rebecca's lips. Taking an exaggerated breathe, she adds "But now it's my turn,"
And without warning she leverages herself and pushes Rebecca onto her back. Impressed by the maneuver, the brunette rewards her with a deep sexy laugh, "Nice technique Dr Robbins."
Arizona looks up and flashes her amazing dimples and with eyes twinkling, she begins teasing the taunt brown nipples with her tongue and teeth, carefully placing her leg against the other's thigh and moving her body to trail her own taunt nipples teasingly down.
Working her hands down Rebecca's toned body and then underneath her, cupping her toned ass and lifting her slightly, then breathing in the scent of her before nosing into her folds and gently parting her with her tongue. Rebecca cried out, moaning deeply, both hands clutching the sheets.
Encouraged, the blonde plunges her tongue deeper and then moves her hand to allow her thumb to massage her clit. Feeling her catch her breathe, Arizona slips two fingers in and begins thrusting. Moaning the brunette, grabs Arizona's hair and pulls her mouth up to her, with her other hand she slips her hand into wetness and begins thrusting in sync with the other.
Arizona pulls away from the kiss to protest, but it is lost as the simultaneous motion get hypnotic as they both reach climax. Breathing heavily, they lay together just savoring the intimacy and then they smile and kiss. Arizona starts giggling, then Rebecca can't help but join her, confused she ask, "this is funny?" "No" Arizona tries to explain, "it was sexy. You're sexy." "And sexy is funny? I'm trying to understand this Dr. Robbins," she says as she begins tickling the blonde who squirms away and with Rebecca in pursuit, they both tumble off the bed laughing.
Chapter 16
"Arizona?"
Turning around, she sees Callie standing in the open door. "Hello, um, what are you." She starts to ask, then laughs, "you're early." she looks at her watch and clasps her hands together.
"Sorry, is that a problem? I just wanted to see your new place." She says walking in with their daughter. "And Sofia has been talking non-stop about swimming… are you swimming?" she asks as Sofia drops her hand and runs up to hug her Mama.
"Yes, I am, and I'd like you to meet Melanie, my new friend and she is the reason that I am swimming again". Melanie, Callie Torres." Arizona introduces the two women and Callie notices that Sofia walks right up to Melanie and has obviously met her before.
Distracted by her daughter for a moment, Callie is confused. The rumor at the hospital says Arizona is seeing Dr Bernard, but this woman is obviously comfortable in Arizona's condo already. Walking over to her to shake hands, she asks "So Melanie, what do you do?".
"I am the director of a non-profit agency, maybe you've heard of it "Girls on the Run? We promote physical activity as a lifestyle for girls at the grade school level."
"Oh, wow. That sounds amazing. I'd love to hear more about it," catching herself she adds, "sometime." Moving back to the center of the room to face Arizona. "This place is gorgeous. Wow, I just. I thought, you'd buy a house. We never even looked at condos…"
"Well, this building has everything, there's a play ground on the roof, along with a roof top garden, not to mention an amazing view of the bay. I was hoping that you'd have time for a tour," she can't help but be excited about everything.
"Um, yes. But do you have time?" She looks over at Melanie, who stands up and now Callie realizes that she is an amputee as well. Interesting she thinks, I could barely get her to talk to another amputee and now she's dating one?
"Yes, I can show you around and Mel will head up to the pool with Sofia." Arizona states nonchalantly, then to her daughter. "Sofia, let's get your swimsuit on!". The little girl squeals excitedly and they go into her room. Arizona motions to her ex to follow them. So Callie goes down the hall to see her daughter's room. It is very purple and girly, she can't help but smile watching her ex-wife and daughter together. Remembering for a moment, how reluctant Arizona was to be a mom, but how amazing she is at it.
Walking back down the hall to the living room, she sees that Melanie has 2 bags by the door.
"Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting?" she asks the smaller woman.
"Not at all. Today is pool play day, not a training day." she explains.
"Training day?" Callie asks.
"Yes, Melanie is training for the Iron Girl." Arizona explains walking back into the room. "It's in three weeks. She and Rebecca are training together. They both live here, in the building." she adds.
Just then there's a knock on the door. Melanie is standing right there so she opens it.
"Bec!" She exclaims and gives her a slight hug. Gabe walks right up to Sofia and does the same thing, then he goes to Arizona, who bends down and hugs him back.
"Hey, little man." she says. Then moves over to greet Rebecca with a light kiss. Rebecca sees Sofia and her face brightens, then she looks up and sees Callie and her eyes dart back to Arizona surprised.
Smoothly, she walks over to Callie to greet her, "Oh, hello Dr Torres." I didn't realize that you were here, she looks at her watch.
"Yeah, I'm a bit early apparently…" she trails off, now she gets it, they are totally dating. Rebecca knew that she was early. Now Callie feels very awkward. "Um, Arizona can I talk to you a moment?" she motions to the open kitchen area away from the others.
"Of course." Arizona says as she looks quickly from Melanie to Rebecca and excuses herself.
Nervously, she turns around to face "Sorry, I'm just…" she pauses, then continues, "wow, it's a little overwhelming to see you like this, you have a whole other life without...uh, I don't want to intrude, I feel like I'm intruding. Am I, intruding?" she asks nervously.
"No, you were invited to come by. I wanted you to see the new place. I had planned to invite you up to the pool with us, but was going to warn you so you would have a choice and I didn't want this to be awkward. I'm sorry." she looks carefully at Callie's face, trying to read her but she is looking towards the floor.
Looking up, her smiling eyes surprise Arizona. "It is good to see you happy and settling in to a new life, it's sad that its without me. But no, it's good for you." she says as she walks back to the group, over her shoulder she adds. "Now you said something about a tour…".
Rebecca and Melanie go ahead up to the pool with the kids, while Arizona shows Callie around, takes her down to the doorman and introduces her and gets her a visitor's pass and temporary parking sticker, so she can drop off and pick up Sofia more easily.
When the elevator opens, Callie can't help but whistle. The view of the Port of Seattle is amazing.
Arizona takes her arm and pulls her over to the daycare, "Callie, I want you to meet Jennifer, she works weekends. "Hello Dr Torres." Jennifer greets Callie and takes her over to show her the facility, while Arizona goes into the locker room to change into her swimsuit.
As she is pulling out her crutches, she hears the door open and turns around to see Callie.
"Wow, wow… Arizona, you look...great." the brunette has to pause to take it all in, seeing Arizona in a swimsuit, the flipper, the sport crutches. She tears up.
Moving closer to Callie, Arizona reaches out to touch her arm. "You were right, you know. I should have gone to the Y."
"You weren't ready. It wouldn't work until you were ready." she concedes, putting her arm lightly around the blonde's shoulder as they turn to head into the pool.
"Mama, Mommy… Watch me!" Sofia calls to them as soon as they enter the pool area.
"OK Mija, be careful." Callie can't help but call after her. "Well, she is swimming like a fish, Arizona, that's amazing. No wonder she talks about it so much." Callie beams at her ex.
Laying her crutches near the ladder, Arizona slips down the ladder and into the pool. She swims easily over to Rebecca and Gabe. Gabe immediately swims over to Arizona and Rebecca goes over to the swim lane to get in some laps. Sofia, swims over to Arizona and Gabe goes to the wall near Melanie. He wants his flippers and snorkel, so she sets him up on the side and Callie brings them over and helps get them on him.
Gabe takes off to the swim lane to snorkel, and as she comes back down the lane, she notices him and rolls under the rope to surprise him, swimming underneath him for a moment. She comes up for air and he raises his head to look for her. Laughing he pulls off his mask and she tickles him lightly. He squeals with delight. She looks over and sees Callie bending down by the pool kissing Sofia goodbye. She pauses a moment and Gabe and Rebecca wave to her and then Rebecca calls out, "bring your suit next time and join us!"
Callie pauses a moment to look back at them. Gabe and Sofia are now sharing a float, Rebecca and Melanie are talking, and Arizona has begun swimming laps.
"Meredith, you should have seen them. She's already unpacked her condo. Do you know how long it took us to unpack at the house?" Callie went straight to Meredith's house after dropping off Sofia.
"Well, Callie she has less stuff now. Plus she bought all new stuff. That is really the only way to move by the way." she adds, topping off their glasses of wine. Setting the bottle down, Amelia comes downstairs in running gear.
"The kids are napping, I'm going for a run." she says pausing, to stretch a bit on the stairs.
Callie can't help but check out Derek's sister in running tights and tight tank as she walks past her and slips out the front door.
"Watch out for bears!" Meredith calls after her, then throws a pillow at Callie. "Down girl. That is my sister!"
"Sorry, I just well. Damn, maybe I need to start working out again. Have you seen Arizona?"vshaking her head a bit, "She used to swim all the time when we first dated, before Africa."
"Just put in a workout room, that's what we did. Of course, now that my husband has left me, I have all kinds of time to work out," she says harshly, then adds "Thanks Obama!".
Chapter 18
"It has been 10 days since we extracted blood and DNA from the umbilical cord to isolate the proteins and prepare the bio-patch for implantation..." Arizona and Dr Herman are discussing the case via teleconference with the researchers who published the journal article and developed the process. As they continue to review the results of the testing, Dr Herman shows symptoms of obvious distress. Arizona picks up her phone and sends a text to Amelia.
Az: please come to exec conf rm 2, NH needs pain eval?!
Arizona tries to take Dr Herman's hand under the table to get her pulse rate, but she pulls away.
Masking her concern, Arizona looks at the clock and decides to wrap up the conference.
"Doctors, I believe that we need to wrap this up for now. If you can review the reports from this morning and advise if you concur that we are on track for implantation, we will schedule the procedure for first of next week. Thank you for your time today!"
Dr Herman gives her a dirty look, but as the screen goes blank she doubles over. Dr Shepherd busts in the door and goes to her. First she pulls her penlight out and checks her pupils, then she takes her pulse. "Dr Herman, you are done for today. I recommend that we stop putting off this surgery. I am admitting you and we are doing this tomorrow!"
Dr Herman stands up slowly, her face is angry, but before she can reply, she collapses to the floor.
Arizona steps out into the hall and calls for help. "We need a gurney in here! STAT!"
Dr. Bernard is down the hall and runs in to assist. The three of them get her up in a chair and she is very weak and agrees to have the surgery.
"I was going to ask how the meeting went but I just heard about Dr Herman," Callie stops Arizona in the hall.
"The meeting went well. Nicole agreed to the surgery, but then postponed when we started the bio patch project", Arizona explains. "Before the meeting she looked like she was in a lot of pain and she's just been pushing too hard. I could tell she was getting worse, so I texted Amelia and ended the meeting. As soon as Amelia arrived, Nicole collapsed, so she's scheduling the surgery for tomorrow."
"What is the implantation schedule? Do you need me to assist?" Callie asks concerned.
"We are waiting for the researchers to review our latest reports and we are planning to implant the biopatch next week." Arizona looks at Callie thoughtfully, "Can I let you know? Bailey has contacted Addison and we have sent our reports to her. We should know today if she is available next week."
"Wow, that makes sense. If it was our, I mean my baby, I'd totally want Addison in to consult," Callie looks down and mentally kicks herself, good Lord she thinks where did that come from? Our baby. I haven't thought of us having a baby in a long time.
Shocked by that misstatement, Arizona takes a deep breath, starts to turn around to leave then stops herself. She knows Callie is verbally assaulting herself for it, so she reaches out and puts a hand on her shoulder and lifts up her chin with the other hand so she can see her face. "Callie, its okay. I know what you meant."
Arizona approaches Rebecca's office and hears her talking on the phone, so she stops short and waits and checks messages on her phone. Rebecca sees her and smiles. "Yes, Dr. Montgomery, I believe I can have you set up on the portal by this afternoon. I'll have IT send you the details."
Arizona looks up from her phone when she realizes that she's talking to Addison. Rebecca waves her in to the office and Arizona looks very pleased.
"Actually, she's right here. I'll let her know. Yes, thank you and I look forward to working with you again Dr Montgomery." Hanging up the phone, Rebecca stands up to greet Arizona.
"Hello. It looks like Addison Montgomery is available and very interested in the Bio-patch project." she says as she lightly kisses Arizona's lips.
"Yes, I'm sure that she is. I am sure that she will be great asset to the project." Arizona says as she sits on the corner of the desk. "I feel very confident but with Dr Herman out, it will be great to have her in there with me, just in case." the blonde adds as she folds her arms across her chest. "so you've worked with Addison before?"
"Yes, her whole practice had privileges at Good Samaritan. And she is an excellent perinatologist. She trained under Nicole actually, so I think it will be a smooth transition. Not to mention, bringing her in will get Catherine Avery off my back when she finds out Nicole is undergoing brain surgery tomorrow." Rebecca replies smiling and licking her lips as she realizes that she is now eye level to Arizona's cleavage and can't help but wonder which bra she is wearing.
"I was surprised that Jackson agreed with the Board to wait to drop that little bomb. But then they haven't told her about the Osteogenesis Imperfecta yet either." As she talks, she notices Rebecca looking at her chest and smiles. "Is there a problem, Dr Bernard?" She teases.
"Um, no problem Dr Robbins, no problem at all", the brunette licks her lips and moves a little closer. Damn, this office for not having walls, she thinks. But maybe we should move this conversation to a more private location?"
"More private than your office, Dr Bernard?" Arizona pauses, she can't help but feel the brunette's eyes undressing her. Licking her lips and leaning closer they are just about to kiss, when both pagers go off.
"Arrrgh," Rebecca groans as she grabs her pager off the desk.
"Duty calls over booty calls," Arizona breathes into her ear and gently kisses her neck as she pivots away and out the door.
Chapter 19
Sitting in the gallery watching Dr Herman's surgery, Arizona is surrounded by eager interns who are talking too much. Then all the sudden it quiets down and the blonde looks up to see Rebecca entering. Smiling to herself as the interns shut up and move away from her.
"How is it going?" Rebecca asks as she sits down.
"She's resected about 75% of the tumor so far…" Arizona replies nervously staring straight ahead.
"OK, well now it gets interesting." She says leaning into the blonde and putting her hand on her arm. Arizona jumps slightly, surprised by the contact, but delighted, she can't help but smile.
"Hey, don't bring those dimples out, you know they are my kryptonite." she says thickly, facing forward, but giving some hot side eye.
Arizona puts her head in her hands and sneaks a look at Rebecca through her fingers.
"Hmm, well I'll just have to keep these hidden until I really need them.." she whispers back.
Suddenly there's a cacophony of pagers and a mass exodus from the gallery. Rebecca looks at hers and says "ER. Mass Casualties." she turns to leave but pauses a moment, looks around and sees the chaos, then decides no one is watching, so she leans over to the blonde and gives her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Let me know if you need me," Arizona says after her. Sitting alone now in the gallery, Arizona takes a deep breath and looks down at Amelia, who looks up and smiles.
Out loud to the OR, Dr Shepherd says, "We're getting to the good part now folks, just hold on tight for the next few minutes while I resect this last bit of the tumor."
Down in the OR, Meredith and Callie are standing outside at the ER entrance waiting for the Ambulances to arrive.
"ETA is 3 minutes", Dr Avery says as he takes his place beside them.
"Jackson? What the?" They both say in shock as the turn to look at him.
"I can't… Look, this I can do. People injured in a bus accident I can help. I'm tired of sitting around waiting for help to arrive." He says just as the first ambulance pulls in.
"Possible broken pelvis, 28 year old male, conscious, stable, no known allergies" the EMT begins as Callie falls in step and calls, "mine".
Next ambulance pulls up and Jackson sees a woman with facial lacerations and he calls it. Rolling into the ER, Rebecca sees him and smiles. 'Good to see you Dr Avery. Thanks for pitching in", she adds.
Next ambulance brings two small children, Meredith looks at them and falls in with the EMT.
Rebecca goes out as the next ambulance unloads another patient.
Meanwhile up in the OR, Arizona is in the scrub room for Amelia. The little brunette enters and gives her a big hug. "I did it! I got the whole damn thing," she exclaims excitedly.
"That was amazing." Arizona replies. "You are amazing." she adds and leans into deliver a soft hip check.
"Where did everyone go? One minute I looked up and the gallery was full, next time I looked it was empty," the brunette inquires as she tears off her surgical gown and puts it in the disposal.
"Bus accident." Arizona explains as they walk out together. Just then Arizona's pager buzzes, "well, looks like I'm needed in the ER." She says, then pauses. "Keep me posted?" she calls over her shoulder as she heads for the stairs.
In the ER, Jo waves her into the trauma room.
"What do we have? she asks as she enters, seeing Meredith intubating a small child.
"Seven year old twins. The girl is unresponsive, possible internal injuries. I'm taking her up to CT, can you work up her brother?
"Got it," she says as Jo helps slide him off the gurney and onto another one. "Let's get him off this backboard", she says to Jo.
"Hey buddy, what's your name?" Arizona asks.
"Jonathan," He says crying. "Where's grandma?" He asks.
Arizona calms him down, sends a nurse to find his grandmother and gets him squared away. He doesn't need surgery, so she tells Jo to stay with him until his parents arrive.
Now that she has a minute, she steps over to the ER board to see what else is going on.
"Dr Robbins. Dr Robbins, can you assist?" she hears her name and pivots around to see Jackson in a trauma room. Running over immediately she asks, "What do you need?"
He shows her the lab report. "Oh." she says to him, then stepping up to the patient she adds "Miss, my name is Dr Robbins and I am a Perinatal specialist, do you know that you are pregnant?"
The patient nods yes. "I am about 20 weeks, I think. I don't have insurance so I've only seen the doctor twice." she says through tears. "Is the baby alright?" she asks.
"Well that's why I'm here. I'm going to do an ultrasound and find out. Ok?" Arizona smiles as the young woman nods OK.
"Let's get that Ultrasound in here." she says turning around to see Edwards bringing it in.
Hesitating for a moment when she realizes Jackson is there too, Edwards pauses.
"Get it in here, quickly." He shouts waving her into the room.
Quickly the doctors set up the equipment.
"Everything looks fine." Arizona says as they complete the ultrasound. "But we need to admit you for observation for at least 24 hours," she adds.
"I don't understand?" The young woman looks confused. "I don't really have insurance to stay in the hospital and if the baby is fine.." she adds.
"The baby appears fine now." Arizona explains, "But the next 24 hours you are at an increased risk for premature labor and preterm delivery is not uncommon after pregnant mother has been injured in motor vehicle accident. Don't worry about your insurance issue, we have a foundation that assists the under-insured.
Dr Avery, go ahead and finish up here and I'll have her admitted to the Perinatal Unit." Arizona puts her hand on the woman's arm to reassure her and walks out to update the chart.
"Everything OK?" Rebecca asks, seeing Arizona at the desk.
"Yes. Dr. Avery's patient is 25 weeks, so I am admitting her for observation. Oh and she has no insurance, so we'll need board approval for the admission." She adds mischievously, signing the chart in both places, as Doctor and Board member.
"That must be an amazing feeling?" Rebecca says leaning in to the blonde doctor.
"I didn't think it could get any better, being a doctor and saving babies. But now that I own the hospital where I save the babies, some babies that haven't even been born...That is beyond awesome. I'm just saying", she smiles brightly and tears up.
"You are beyond awesome." Rebecca says pulling her in for quick hug.
Across the floor Callie is moving her patient into the elevator, glancing up she sees Arizona and Rebecca's hug, then she see's Wilson. "Hey, get in here. I've got a pelvis fracture and you're scrubbing in."
Handing the chart that she's holding to Edwards who is walking by, she asks, "Give this to Dr Bernard please and tell her the parents are here in Trauma 3."
Annoyed, Edwards starts to protest, but Jo's in the elevator and the door is closing. She and Callie smile and wave.
Walking over to the desk, she sees the slightly intimate moment and clears her throat.
"Dr Bernard, Dr Robbins" she acknowledges them both and they move so they are side by side.
"Yes, Dr Edwards?" Dr Bernard replies.
"Jo just got pulled into surgery with Dr Torres and she handed me this chart to give you." she offers the chart.
Arizona snatches the chart, "I told her to wait for the parents!" she says sharply.
"Oh, the parents are here. They are waiting in Trauma 3." Edwards adds.
"OK. Well, I'll go talk with them about their son," then to Rebecca she asks, "Can you check with Grey in CT and get a status on the daughter? Oh and I think the Grandmother is here too. She adds over her shoulder, then turns back to flash the dimples as she walks off.
Rebecca looks at Edwards and before she can ask, "So I'm going to go up to CT and check with Dr Grey…" Edwards says with a sigh.
Rebecca turns around to look at the board again to look for the possible grandmother. Then asks the nurse at the desk to find out where the others from the crash were taken so they can get a status for the family. She sends a quick text to Arizona, letting her know that they need a name on the grandmother. And satisfied that the nurse will handle the rest, Rebecca decides to visit the recovery room to check on Dr Herman.
As the elevator doors open, she sees Dr Shepherd waiting to get on. She stops her, "How's Nicole?" she asks.
"Still sedated. A little swelling, which is probably normal, but I don't like it, so I'm keeping her under until I can be sure that its nothing."
"How's everything downstairs. I heard there was a bus accident?" the young doctor asks.
"We're in good shape, only a few cases and none were critical. Dr Grey has a seven year old in CT, we're waiting on those results." She adds.
Just then Amelia's pager goes off. "Well, looks like I'm needed in CT for a consult." she states getting on the elevator. Rebecca steps back in as well and Amelia looks at her confused.
"Dr Robbins is with the parents, their son is in the ER too, so I may as well come with you so I can provide them an update," she explains as the doors close.
"Thank you for letting me scrub in for this pelvic fracture," Wilson says to Callie as they scrub for the surgery.
"Yeah, sure", Callie says a bit testy.
Jo glances at her a moment, trying to decide if this is normal Dr Torres agitation or if something is actually bothering her, because if something is bothering her, asking her about it would not be a good idea. But asking when nothing is wrong, just gets her bonus points. Before she can ask, Callie offers.
"Nothing is wrong. I'm just. Its just. Damn, I broke us up. She moved on first. I just need to move on. That's all, I need to move on. Right?" she glances nervously at Wilson.
Unsure how to respond, Wilson hesitates, then says, "Yes, you do and I'm going to help," she nervously looks to see Callie's response. "Let's have a girls night?" She adds a bit more confidently.
Surprised by the suggestion, but immediately liking the idea and the change of direction. Callie embraces it. "Girls night sounds perfect!" she says as she finishes up and charges into the OR with Jo right behind her.
