I won't even go there... I know it's been ages since my last update. My apologies to my readers! My head has not exactly been in update mode. This chapter is not exactly what I had in mind, but I figured I should get something out.
"So how was the honeymoon? Did you even bother setting foot outside the hotel?" Mark asked, a devilish grin spreading over his face.
"Suck it Mark. My father's wedding gift to us, as if the wedding wasn't enough, was a 10 day stay at the magnificent Finca Pino… huge, private property, infinity pool, exotic gardens, spa, amazing scenery with a view of the Mediterranean and a quick drive to the beach, all the sangrias we could possibly want, and more. My wife and I had an incredible, unforgettable honeymoon. After dealing day in and out with the stress of our work schedules and constantly being on call and the planning of the wedding, it was just what we needed. Knowing how that perverted mind of yours works, that's all you're getting." Callie said, walking off.
"Oh come on Torres! You gotta give me something! You can't possibly leave me hanging after that!"
"You have Lexie to fantasize about now! But fine, if you really must know something, I'll tell you, and remember, you're the one that asked for it!"
"So did Robbins and you do anything other than have hot lesbian sex?" Mark asked, once again intrigued.
"I will tell you this Mark. Throughout the course of our honeymoon, my very hot, very talented wife pleased me in ways you can't even imagine. It leaves your Sloan Method severely lacking, with much to be desired. I mean seriously, after Arizona Robbins, who in their right mind would even consider having…"
"You're mean, you know that? MEAN! I don't want to hear any more!" Mark said, running off in a huff.
"I thought you wanted details…" Callie said, smirking as she saw him round the corner probably in search of Lexie to once again prove his manhood.
"Details on what babe?" Arizona asked, coming up to Callie and giving her wife a quick peck on the lips.
"Oh nothing, Mark just wanted details of our honeymoon…"
"Calliope…"
"Don't worry Arizona. After what I just told him, Mark won't be asking us about our sex life any time soon."
"Don't tell me you actually said something to him." Arizona said, her face quickly turning into one of shock.
"Of course I didn't. I might've told him that his skills were severely lacking when put up against yours and that no woman in their right mind would want to be with a man after having you my love."
"Poor Mark. That was a low blow Calliope. The man will be scarred for life." Arizona laughed.
"Maybe it will teach him a thing or two. Besides, what happened on that honeymoon is just between us mí amor."
"That it is my beautiful better half." Arizona said, giving Callie a deeper kiss. "I've got rounds. I'll see you for lunch?"
"You sure will. I'll see you later baby."
"Bye."
The rest of the morning went by rather uneventfully. It wasn't until halfway through their lunch break that both Arizona and Callie got an emergency beep to the ER; both left their meals halfway finished and ran towards the waiting patient. It turned out to be a 15 year-old girl who had taken a fall while mountain climbing and was now covered in blood and with several fractured bones. It wasn't until nearly 10 hours later that they scrubbed out; and though this girl's life as she knew it was over, she was now stable and resting in the ICU.
"What a horrible thing to happen to someone so young. Poor girl; I wish we could've done more for her Calliope." Arizona said as they walked to the locker room; head in defeat.
"There was too much time between her fall and her arrival here; we are lucky we were able to keep her alive. Her spine had damage that was beyond repair Ari; I wish we could've done more as well, but there was nothing else that we could do. Once she regains some of her strength and is stable enough, I can go in again to see if she can regain some leg function, but things don't look good." Callie said. It was always difficult to deliver this kind of news to patients, especially ones whose lives were just beginning. She'd gone into the waiting room and given the restless parents the bad news: their daughter was immobilized from the waist down, and the chances of her walking again were slim to none. This girl's life, regardless of whether or not she could regain leg function, would never be the same again.
Callie could not rid herself of this nagging feeling from within. She felt horrible at the fact that she'd just had deliver some of the worst news a parent can hear, yet something within her would not leave her be. There was something she'd forgotten to do, yet she couldn't place it.
"Baby, are you ok? What's the matter?" Arizona asked, a worried look masking her features.
"I don't know Ari. I've been getting this feeling lately; I can't describe it really. I feel like there's something I'm missing, something I'm forgetting; I just can't put my finger on it. It feels important, but if it were, I should've remembered, no?"
"Well we have had quite busy schedules these last couple of days because of the honeymoon. I wouldn't worry so much about it baby, it'll come to you."
"I hope it does; because whatever it is, it's getting on my nerves! Are you ready to go? I can't wait to go to bed. Today has been a really long day, and I'm counting the minutes before I can get into bed and wrap my arms around you."
"Hmm, that sounds wonderful my beautiful wife. Let's go home."
Hands intertwined, they left the hospital and headed across the street to their apartment. They entered the living area and put their respective purses and coats aside and headed into their bedroom. After a quick shower, both changed into pajamas and got into bed. Arizona groaned slightly once her head hit the pillow.
"How tired are you Ari?" Callie asked with an air of suggestion in her voice.
"I'm tired but most importantly, in pain. My lower back has been killing me all day. I'm so glad we were able to get through the honeymoon without having to worry about that time of the month; but now it's coming with a vengeance." Arizona grimaced as she felt another pang in her lower back.
"I'm sorry baby. Here, scoot closer and I'll give you a massage." Callie said as he readied her hands to soothe her wife's pain.
Addison. She'd completely forgotten to call Addison.
Making a mental note to call her tomorrow, she placed her hands on her wife's body, ready to try to alleviate her pain.
