In For The Long Haul
The surgery would start in an hour. Callie was ready, well ready to perform the surgery not so much to be in an O.R. with the perky peds surgeon. Nonetheless Callie shook off her nerves. As she thought before maybe she would grow to like this surgeon maybe she would even be the partner Callie has been searching for. The time passed. Callie headed for the scrub room. She began to wash her hands. She heard the door swing she looked over seeing Arizona. "Hey!" Arizona greeted with her usual perky smile. "Hi." Callie greeted back as her eyes shifted back down to her hands. Okay, okay forgot about how perky she is! And that her scrub cap is pink with little flowers on it! Okay...I have to admit she is pretty cute.. Callie grinned to herself. "So you're ready to help little Nick out?" Arizona asked "huh?" Callie was still off in her thoughts. "Nick, you're ready to help with his hip." Arizona asked again "oh yeah!" Callie chuckled "I'm so ready!" Arizona nodded "Great!" I'll see ya in there." She said holding her arms up entering the O.R. Callie looked inside hesitate to go in. She took a deep breath and entered.
The monitors beeped. everything was steady and stable. "suction." Robbins stated. A resident went in suctioning. "How's it going with his hip?" She asked. "it's going fine, easier than I expected." Callie smilied. Her smile showed through her mask. Robbins nodded "how we doin' with the spleen Doctor Bailey?" Bailey sighed "having a little trouble with it I'm not sure we'll be able to salvage all of it." Robbins thought for a second "I think you're right, we'll have to resect part of it." Bailey sighed "what was this boy thinking?" Robbins shrugged "don't blame the kid I mean sure it's was his idea to skateboard off the roof like that but his parents weren't watching him or even asking themselves where he was till they heard their screaming out in pain." Bailey half chuckled "yeah well it was a stupid idea this boy could have done more damage to himself." Callie stayed quiet she listened only thinking about if something like this happened to Tori.

"I wouldn't do something like that." Tori said trying to reassure her mother.
Callie laughed "I know, you're smart. It was just the thought of you getting hurt in general."
"Tori it's getting late! I can't sleep knowing you're out there alone, wrap up whatever you're talking about." Aria called from her bedroom window. "I'll be up soon!" Tori cried back.
"Okay mom wrap up really quickly what you needed to tell me!" Tori said even more anxious than before. Callie's laughed "alright, where was I...oh okay! So.."

"You know if I had a kid I would probably die if something like this happened to them." Arizona said. Callie looked at her not saying anything yet. "I mean it's just human nature as a parent I guess but his parents didn't look too worried when they came in." Bailey tilted her head and scoffed "probably because they're mad out of their minds. I think I'd be more mad at little Tuck if he ever pulled a stunt like this." Bailey added on. "well I guess so but I mean still it's scary to think something like this could happen to such a tiny human. It's kind of the reason why I don't have kids I love to work with them but I don't think I could ever handle having one." Callie finally some out "Well I think anyone could agree to that especially if you had one really young like me." Callie laughed a little "I thought that the slightest movement would break Tori that she would shatter into a million pieces but after a while it gets easier to hold them to care for them to...to let them be on their own even thought they could be on the other side of the country you that they will be fine." Arizona nodded listening it was true was Callie said. It made Arizona smile a bit as did Callie. "well we are all finished up I say that this surgery went pretty well."
Everyone scrubbed out. Callie took off her mask tossing it into the disposal bin. She was exiting the scrub room only to be stopped by Arizona "Oh Doctor Torres wait." Callie turned facing Arizona "You know what I said about not wanting kids doesn't apply that I don't want any ever or that I don't like kids I clearly love them!" Arizona laughed Callie nodded not sure where she was going with that "also I don't want you to think that me not wanting kids means I won't go out with really incredible women who already have equally as incredible kids." Callie raised her brow with a slight smile "uh okay so what you're saying is..?" Arizona straight in "I would like to go out with you sometime." Callie was a bit surprised not much though as she figured Arizona would probably, hopefully ask her out again in the near future. Callie stuttered at first "uh well uh–yeah, sure, okay why–why not." She laughed shyly. Arizona smiled brightly "Great! How about this Saturday at around eight o'clock?" Callie smiled "yeah that's perfect Saturday, eight o'clock!" Arizona nodded then turned to the sink beginning to scrub out.

Victoria squealed softly trying to contain her happiness for her mother "mom that's amazing! I'm so happy for you! That was last week right? Have you guys hung out or gone out again since then?" Callie laughed "uh we've had lunch about three already and we went out on Friday since I was busy preparing for you to come back." Tori squealed once again "okay you have to fill me in more if there is anymore news once I get back okay!" Callie nodded "okay we'll go get some sleep you have an early flight tomorrow also don't forget to thank abuelo and abuela again for the presents they got you oh and Aunt Aria!" Tori smiled "I won't don't worry! Night mom!" Callie smiled "Night sweetie." Tori then ended the call and turned her tablet off. She headed back inside to the guest room to finally get some sleep.
The Next Morning
Tori got in her grandpa's car as he stuffed her small suitcase in the trunk. "Ready to head back home, Mija?" He asked. Tori smiled "Yes abuelo I'm really missing Seattle and Mama." He laughed he loved Tori's little Spanish accent "well we better not keep your mother waiting." They laughed.
They got to the airport in an hour. Tori boarded the plane she was excited to head back home and to see her mother and all the doctors back at Seattle Grace. In three hours Tori was back home. She got off the plane entering the airport. She looked for her mother. She walked around a bit still not spotting her mother. Tori sighed. She reached into her pocket for her phone about to call her until she got startled again she screeched then heard a familiar laugh she turned seeing Callie, Mark and Arizona "Rude! Hoe many times do I have to tell you that!" She hit Marks arm "I'm sorry it's just too funny not to do." Tori frownded then hugging her mother "How was Florida?" Callie asked "Great!" Tori smiled "Oh Doctor Robbins you're here!" Tori smiled "yeah I am I've been meaning to catch up with you! And since you mom told me she's gonna pick you up I had to come" Tori laughed "So I see my mom brought you two she didn't bring the whole hospital here did she?" The three laughed "No but everyone did want to come, everyone is missing ya kid." Mark added "Well then let's not keep everyone waiting! I've been dying to go back!" Callie nodded "Let's go then!"

It had been a while since Tori arrived back home and at first not much happened until she along with Arizona and Mark started helping Callie prep for her boards. Callie was nervous just as any other fifth year. "Okay women rushed into the E.R. after having been hit by a car she presents multiple fractures and bruises, complains of neck pain, her back aching and she can't feel her legs you do what?" Tori asked "I uh do a few X-Rays, page neuro, order a C.T. then I'll go from there." Tori nodded turning to Arizona to continue "she has a dislocated neck, a fractured arm, and some pressure to on her spine which leds you to conclude what?" Callie snapped her fingers "Crap I know this! Oh! Oh! The pressure is her not having the right blood going around which is why she can't feel her legs as well!" The girls looked at Mark "Right then you what?" Callie replied as quickly as possible "go fix her neck then rush her into surgery!" They applauded her "that was the last one we had for you you did good only one bad outcome." Tori smiled. Callie smiled back "You've got this Torres." Mark reassured "No, no, I didn't even get to explain how I'd fix said patient in surgery and I had a bad outcome I can't have any!" Callie protested "Callie you're fine. Plus anyways you can go back once you've answered a question you can't go back so just be happy you answers everything but one right." Arizona tried to encourage Callie. She sighed.
"It's been a long night it's been a long few months actually but you've got this! You have two more days till you fly over to New York for your boards." Tori tried to encourage her mom and comfort her. Callie began brushing her teeth. "I know it's just...I'm nervous i mean if I don't pass this I'll have to wait an repeat fifth year or get fired and I can't handle that!" Callie sighed "you'll do fine, you're an ortho goddess!" Tori smiled "okay so we still have to make plans for when your gone." Tori brought up. "oh right!" Callie said "let's talk about in my room I'm tired." Callie said leading Tori. They both hopped onto the bed. "okay so you're staying in your room and Cristina will be watching over you, but if she gets called in–" Tori finished for Callie "I head over to Mark's." Callie nodded "and if he's not home?" Callie asked "then I go over to the hospital and wait for either Cristina or Mark to finish." Tori chuckled. "right. Who's picking you up from school?" Callie asked her finally question "Arizona." Tori smiled as did Callie "alright good girl, oh and we said you can call or text me on the day of the boards you can call me the night before but not after that until I call, got it?" Tori nodded "got it!" She jumped off the bed heading out the room "night mom." She closed the door. "Night sweetie." Callie called back. She smiled. She felt at ease 'I've got this in bag' she thought I've got a great daughter, girlfriend, and best friend helping me through this. She again smiled I've got this.
Two Days Later
Callie began to stuff the trunk of the car with her luggage. "I got it." Mark said helping her out. "Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to the Airport?" Arizona asked feeling bad she didn't even offer ahead of time. Callie laughed "its fine." Arizona's face scrunched up with guilt "I'm a terrible girlfriend I didn't even offer to take you I just let you call a cab!" Callie stopped her "it's fine you're helping me out with Tori for most of the time while I'm gone." Arizona smiled "hey what about me?" Mark added "shut up and stuff the trunk!" Callie smiled. Tori without warning gave her mom a tight hug "you've got this mom, you're gonna kick some A-S-S!" Tori laughed as did Callie. Tori never failed to make Callie feel joy. "I probably will knowing your in my corner." Tori smiled. "Well I better I before I miss my plane!" Callie smile nervously they all have Callie a hug and last good luck and goodbye. Callie got in the cab. She looked through the back until she couldn't see them anymore. "She's gonna kick ass." Mark said. Arizona and Tori smiled. "Well now that moms gone, Arizona can you take me to school now I've got like ten minutes left until I enter." Arizona nodded "sure." She began to walk Tori to school. "you've got the spare key I gave you?" Mark cried out "I've got it!" Tori yelled back as she and Arizona got out of view.

"What grade are you in Tori?" Arizona asked
"eighth and I still need someone to walk me to school." She laughed. "Mom thinks some weird is gonna take me."
Arizona played along "Well you are a very beautiful young lady I thinks she has the right to be scared of someone taking you." Tori smirked. "I guess I'm not the best looking but there are a few creeps out there." She admitted. "well you know I'm picking you up from school as well and I'm not on call today so you want to hang out? Girlfriend yo girlfriend." Arizona teased "gasp! Arizona are you asking moi out on a date? You're dating my mother and you are so much other than me! Oh it wold never work out!" Arizona laughed nudging Tori "hey don't steal my jokes." Tori laughed again.
"Well there's my school..." Tori said not wanting to go.
"it'll be over quick, don't worry so remember I'll be picking you up as well."
Tori nodded. As she walked through the school doors.
Arizona made sure Tori went in. Then she walk off back home.

Callie walked through the airport. She sat in a bar. Doing some early drinking. She scanned the bar. She felt knots in her stomach. It felt so weird knowing she would be an attending soon; that is if she passed. She sighed. Callie scanned the bar she saw Bailey entering the bar. Callie sat her glass down and approached Bailey "Okay, alright, thank you Tuck, I love you too, mommy will do good, okay bye." Bailey hung up her phone as she saw Callie approaching her. "Torres, you're here early too." Bailey said "yeah I was hoping It ease my nerves if I did some early drinking." Bailey said "Me too."
