I own nothing, I wish I would ^^

Arizonas POV

"Robbins", Mark rounded the corner, a large smile on his face.

She stood up instantly and nearly spilled the rest of her coffee to go Teddy had brought over – again. She turned out to be one the best coffee delivery services Arizona had ever known, just because she refused to close her eyes as long as Callie was not awake. To get her out of her hospital room, had cost Teddy a good deal of persuasion.

"She's awake", Mark finally said and added something the blonde was not even a little bit interested in.

She had a place to be, so she took off and made it to Callie's door in record time - also known as Doctor mode. But she stopped abruptly in front of her room, the door handle firmly in her hand. Calliope was awake, but...would she want to see her? Suddenly, doubt crept its way through the blue-eyed body into her brain. Of course she came back for her. And in her half-conscious state, she'd told Arizona that she loves her. But, what if that was the reason. She was not thinking. She was not herself. She was not thinking rational. She hasn't been present, the loss of blood had made her sleepy.

"You'll never find out what she thinks when you stay out here, Arizona", came Teddy up behind Arizona. "And you should talk to her before Addison shows up and cuts off you head."
"Addison Forbes Montgomery?", Arizona asked wide eyed.

"That would be the one."
"Who called her?" Mark? Maybe Yang?

"I did."

"Teddy! You want to see me dead or what? Is this your revenge for me leaving for Africa?"

"I had no other choice, Arizona. I have a heart transplantation on a newborn in the evening and Addison delivered the babies the couple had, except for this one. She was requested." Teddy waited a moment before adding: "Go in. Talk to her. Even if she wants to, she's too weak to bite off your head."

"What a pep talk, Altman", she called after her best friend. "Okay, Arizona, you can do this", she said to herself. "You are a Robbins and Robbins men and women don't flinch and don't back down. We are good men in a storm." She shook her head. Nothing about her seemed to be a good man in a storm. They had their fair share of little fights and arguments. And they got out stronger in the end. But the bigger problems? Arizona knew, she was the one that practically ran away when Callie mentioned the want for a baby. And she had needed a lunatic for her to realize how important Callie was to her. And then? Then came Africa and she'd bailed once again. Her reasons may have been good and maybe right, but she knew now, she hadn't tried hard enough.

"Okay, Robbins...one, two...three." She turned the handle and walked quietly into Callie's room. The Latina lay still, staring stubbornly to the wall and hold onto the bandage with the other hand. "Calliope?"

She jerked and looked at Arizona. Her eyes went wide as she took in a breath out of pure shock and hold it "It was not a dream. You are here."
The blonde nodded and moved forward to the bed. "Calliope...I...why?"
Callie turned her face and looked at the ceiling, away from Arizona.

The Peds surgeon could see her swallow an obvious large lump and just a moment later tears fell unabashedly from her eyes.

"Sssshh, it's okay", Arizona whispered and with her thumbs wiped some teardrops away that were instantly replaced by new tears. She saw that Callie was trying to keep herself together, but gave in to her emotions and started to cry relentlessly. Deep sighs filled the otherwise silent room, sometimes combined with a fraction of her beautiful voice.

Arizona could barely stand the sight. It was all her fault. She pushed off her shoes and climbed into bed with the Latina as both hands cupped her cheeks. Each new tear gathered under her palms and she fought with everything she had, so she did not start to cry too. Please, let me be a Good Man in a Storm for once.

"Why?", she heard the tear choked voice that belonged to her heart.

"Why what?"
"Why did you come back?"
"Because I love you, Calliope."

"Then why did you leave me in the first place?"
"Because people make mistakes. I am so, so, so sorry, Calliope. I-" now it was her time to swallow a lump. "All I want is right here." There were so many words in the English language, but none seemed to adequately explain how truly sorry she was.

"I don't know if I can believe you", she admitted and buried her face in the crook of Arizona's neck.
"I know", she whispered. "I know." She kissed the top of her head and inhaled the scent that was so much Calliope.

The fingers of the brunette clung to the blondes back and her legs intertwined with hers. Maybe she was not ready to believe her yet, or to forgive her. But she wasn't ready to let her go, too.

"I'm not leaving you, Calliope. Never ever again.

AN: Some of the next parts will hold Callies POV of course. She just have to get a little better first.

AN2: R&R ;)

AN3: It'll take some time to get a new chapter done, so, I am already sorry for that.
