Hello everyone! I'm sorry for the long delay… but I hope you enjoy. This is a filler for what is yet to come. It's a career focused chapter. The next chapter should be up fairly soon because I have half of it done already and my fingers are itching to type out the rest. All mistakes are my own…and there are probably a lot of them. Sorry.

Arizona POV

I hadn't opened my eyes yet but I could feel Callie stirring next to me. She still had one arm slightly draped over my stomach. During the course of the night we managed to separate a little, but she still kept a slight hold on me. I knew that she was awake because I felt her reach for her phone, but I didn't want this to end so I didn't move. That is until one of our pagers went off. Calliope pulled her hand off of me roughly and jumped out of bed toward the noise. Both of our pagers were on the dresser.

"Shit." Callie whispered as I lifted myself off the bed and looked at her. I was assuming the pager that was going off was hers.

"Is it you?" I asked, pushing the covers off of myself.

"Yes." She sighed. "I have to go. Do you mind if I use your shower?"

"No, of course not. There are towels in the closet right there." I pointed to what I was referring to. She thanked me and walked away. I decided to get up and go make some coffee.

I could hear Teddy cursing as I walked into the living room. She had her head covered with a pillow and was trying to situate herself.

"Good morning sleepy-" I stopped as her pager sounded.

"Oh god. Make it stop. Please, I can taste the page in my mouth, I shit you not." She didn't attempt to move.

"Where is it?" I asked confused at her words as I came closer to the couch.

"My bag." She lazily lifted her hand toward the object. I went for the pager.

"It's 911 to the ER." I said as I stopped the pager from making any more noise.

"I'm dead. I can't go." She removed the pillow from her head and looked up at the ceiling. "My head is killing me. I can hear myself blink."

"You were pretty drunk last night." I stated as I threw the pager at her and walked back into the kitchen, getting ready to make a pot of coffee.

Teddy groaned and stood up slowly. "I need to shower. Stat."

"You can't right now, Calliope is showering."

"Oh yeah, she stayed the night, too." She raised her eyebrows at me as she approached the kitchen. "My mouth tastes like I've been eating garbage all night, and gargling diarrhea." She shivered at her disgusting words.

"That's gross. Callie should be out soon, your toothbrush is the blue one." I stated as I started making the coffee.

"I remember which one it is. I'm hung over, not brain dead."

"If you say so." I stopped as I heard the ortho surgeon call my name from my bedroom. "Be right back. Have some." I pointed to the coffee pot that had yet to produce any coffee.

"Need me?" I asked as I opened my bedroom door.

"Yeah." Calliope walked out of the bathroom in only a white towel. I couldn't help but look. Her body was glistening wet from the shower. "Can I borrow something to wear?" My eyes snapped up to meet her gaze.

I just nodded, never taking my eyes off of the stunning woman's deep brown eyes.

"Like…now?" She laughed.

"Oh…um. Yeah. Sorry." I blushed and went to grab her something to wear. She thanked me and went back into the bathroom.

"Ugh…I've got it bad." I groaned as I came back into the kitchen where Teddy had her face on the cold island marble top.

"Duh." She stated without moving. "Did you get any last night?"

"No." I shook my head. We're not really together, remember?"

"Oh yeah…" My best friend scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Good morning all." Callie smiled as she entered the living room. "Teddy, how are you feeling?"

"Like death." My best friend lifted her head off of the table and got out of the stool. "I'm going to shower, 911 in the ER."

"I got the same call." The beautiful woman stated as she sat down on the chair Teddy was occupying only moments ago.

"This may be weird… but." I stopped. This was a weird thing to ask, but I didn't have to be into work until two and it was only just after eight. "Can I come with you guys? Check out the hospital. I haven't been there in a long time."

"Really?" Calliope looked surprised.

"Yeah." I nodded my head and raised my eyebrows.

"Sure." She shrugged, fighting a smile.

As soon as we entered through the ER doors, we were met with chaos. There were doctors everywhere, yet it seemed so organized. There was a red headed woman who was directing people where to go and everyone was listening, it seemed to work perfectly for them. I couldn't help but be enthralled with everything that was going on. It was as if everyone knew everyone else's move before they even made it. People were being wheeled to different rooms and only the people who needed to be there, were there. It was so much different from Seattle Presbyterian. There was no order to anything that we did, especially in the Emergency Room. There were people always fighting about what was the better thing to do. People argued at Seattle Grace, but it was a different kind of arguing. This kind of arguing worked.

"All hands on deck." Dr. Hunt yelled as he pushed past me. "Somebody page peds. Now!" He yelled.

"I've tried more than a dozen times, Dr. Hunt. I'm getting nothing." A nurse stated, with a phone to her ear. Calliope had disappeared when a man had come in with two broken femurs. The pain was so severe that the man ended up passing out because of it.

"Well, try again!" He bellowed.

"I can help." I stated quietly, lifting a hand so I could be seen.

"What?" He asked as he grabbed a chart from the desk.

I cleared my throat. "Um…I can help." I stated firmly so he could hear me over everything going on.

"Dr. Robbins?" He stopped what he was doing and came closer to me. "What are you doing here?"

"I came with Callie."

He looked at me for a few seconds, "Okay, yeah we could use you. All hands on deck. Go to the locker room down the hall first door on the left and change into some scrubs. Meet me back here in no longer than five minutes." He nodded with a smile and turned around to finish what he was doing. I took off at a run for the locker room. This was going to be fun, I couldn't wait.

Within a few minutes, I was dressed and in front of Owen Hunt. "I'm ready to serve." I smiled.

"We need you in room three. Just down there." He pointed behind me. I nodded and ran into the room.

"You paged peds?" I asked as I entered the room and closed the door. Two doctors and a nurse looked up at me.

"Dr. Robbins?" Lexie Grey asked, stunned to see me. I smiled at her and nodded.

"Yes. I'm here to help." I stated sternly. "What do we have?" I could tell the second doctor in the room was uncomfortable with my presence because he didn't know who I was.

"You're not Dr. Thorne." The man furrowed his brows and looked me up and down.

"No, she's not. She's better." Lexie cut in. "We have a twelve year old boy, Adam Price, who went to bed on Tuesday and has yet to wake up. We've tried everything. He isn't responding to anything."

"Okay." I stopped to think. "Did the parents report any peculiar behavior in their son?"

"Only drowsiness." The grumpy doctor interjected. "We're wasting time. We need to take him to get x-rayed."

"No, wait." I bit my lip.

"Doctor Robbins. This is ridiculous. Don't just stand there he's been unconscious for a couple of days. Something weird is going on."

"I know that!" I screamed at the young doctor. "Just give me a second." I approached the boy. "We need to give him a lumbar puncture." I nodded to myself.

"He probably has inflammation in his brain. We should take him to get an MRI. It could be a tumor." He put his hands on his hips.

"No. We're doing a lumbar puncture. It could be inflammation to the meninges." No one attempted to move. "Now! Go!" I yelled. Finally they started moving.

"This is so stupid." The grumpy doctor said under his breath as they wheeled the boy out of the room. I didn't care; I had seen one case like this before. I had a hunch as to what was going on.

As they were wheeling him out, Lexie walked back into the room. "You'll be doing it, won't you?" I nodded and followed behind them.

"Dr. Karev, help me turn him over." I looked at the man as he moved into position. After the anesthesia was administered, we proceeded. "Has either one of you done this before?"

They both shook their heads side to side. "Well, who wants to learn?" Lexie spoke up but I wanted Dr. Karev to do it.

"Karev, it's all you." I smiled, showing my dimples. He sighed but grabbed the needle from me.

"Be very careful. You'll need to insert that into the dural sac and collect some cerebrospinal fluid. Make sure you don't make a mistake, you don't want him to be paralyzed."

After Alex collected what we needed, we sent the sample to be tested while they took Adam to his new room.

"If it is what I think it is, we need to start mechanical ventilation." I stated as we were standing around the boy's bed.

"No. That's not what he needs. This is stupid. I'm out of here." Dr. Karev pushed past Lexie and walked out of the room.

"Let's do it."Dr. Grey puckered her lips. I liked her more and more as the day went by. She was definitely someone that I could work with, and not just because she did everything I told her to. But then again, there was something about Dr. Karev that I couldn't shake. It was almost as if I could see through him. I knew I could make a believer out of him, if I had the chance.

"Meningitis." I beamed as I dropped the results in front of Dr. Karev. He looked up at me with a blank expression.

"Dude, I don't care." He said, irritation evident in his voice.

"Just letting you know I was right and you were wrong." I couldn't help the huge smile I was wearing. "Yay!" I sang as I walked away.

"Arizona?" I heard Calliope call my name.

"Calliope." I smiled as the woman approached me. "It has been such a great day!"

"Yeah…has it?" She scrunched up her forehead. "I heard you've impressed a lot of people here."

"I might have. But that's because I'm awesome." I said, standing up tall.

"Too bad the chief isn't in today. He would have been impressed, too." Calliope smiled at me. "Lunch?"

"Absolutely." I smiled back at her, dimples in full force.

"Dr. Robbins." I heard a voice from behind. As I turned around, I spotted Alex Karev weaving through the crowd. I stood in place, waiting for him to catch up.

"Dr. Karev." I stated plainly.

"I owe you an apology." He massaged the back of his head with his hand. "I shouldn't have said all of those things to you. I was way out of line."

"It's okay." I smiled. I had worn him down a little bit. I was proud of myself.

"Are you leaving?" I nodded. "Can I buy you a drink sometime?"

"Only if it's friendly." I replied, holding up my hand so he could see the engagement ring.

"Oh, um…Of course. Yeah." He nodded and looked around the room. "Does he work here?"

"She does."

"Who?" He looked at me with surprise in his eyes.

"Calliope Torres." His eyes went wide.

"No way." He shook his head. "I didn't even know she was with anyone. She's cool. Congrats."

"Thank you."

Callie POV

"I heard lover girl kicked ass today." Mark stated as he sat down next to me in the locker room.

"Yup." I beamed with pride. "She's a great doctor."

"Have you thought about asking her to apply for a peds position here?" He asked as he started to undress. I had finished and was sitting on the bench.

"No, it didn't occur to me. But people seem to like her." I liked when Mark had good ideas.

"You should see if she'd be interested. Dr. Thorne's contract runs out really soon and he's like almost 90." He shrugged.

"I wonder where she is in her contract with Seattle Presbyterian…" I pursed my lips in thought. We hadn't really talked much about her work there. She usually wouldn't dive deep into the work she did at that hospital. She asked me a lot about my job and I tried to do the same but she didn't really want to talk about it. I made a mental note to ask her about her status there. Her working at Seattle Grace Mercy West wasn't just for my enjoyment. We really did need a new head of peds. The guy that we had now was an old man who should have retired two years ago.

It was 5 o'clock and as I exited the hospital I decided to pay Arizona a visit at work.

Within 20 minutes, I was at her hospital. "I'm here to see Arizona Robbins." I stated to the man that was sitting at the front desk. He looked at his computer for a second.

"She's in surgery." Someone behind me stated. I turned around to see a good looking blonde woman in her mid thirties. She had a black dress on with a lab coat over it.

"Oh." I nodded. "Okay. Do you know when she'll be out?"

"I'm not sure." She looked me up and down. "You're Dr. Torres?"

"Yeah." I smiled and extended my arm toward her. "You are?"

"Dr. AJ Edison." The woman smiled. "I've heard great things about you."

"You have?" I asked, surprised.

"Arizona and I are close." She stated, pulling her lab coat around herself, with a smirk. "I can take you up to the gallery so you can watch her surgery, if you'd like?"

"That would be great." I replied as we began walking. I had only been to Seattle Pres a couple of times a long time ago. I had forgotten how different it was from Seattle Grace. A lot of the doctors kept to themselves. They weren't as family like as the rest of us were, or so it seemed. Things seemed a little tense here but the hospital itself looked very nice. Not as nice as my hospital, but it wasn't bad. Once up in the gallery, I took the first seat I saw. There were a couple of people sitting there, looking un-amused. I thanked Dr. Edison, assuming that she would leave me there but she ended up taking a seat next to me.

"She's repairing a newborn's heart." She stated, looking down into the operating room. I followed her gaze, eyes falling upon the stunning Arizona Robbins. She had on a butterfly scrub cap. I had to hold in a laugh. Butterflies weren't my thing. I liked black, and red was as colorful as I got, but Arizona seemed so colorful. It didn't bother me as much as I thought it would have. I never made it a habit to date women who were nothing like me, but there was something about this woman that made me question everything I once believed.

"She's amazing." I was mesmerized. She looked so at peace. Like she could do this with her eyes closed. Every movement flowed perfectly. There weren't a lot of doctors who could put on this kind of show and not even know they were doing it.

"She is." AJ agreed with me. "So, has Teddy had the talk with you?" She air quoted the word talk.

"Ahh." I thought for a moment. "Kind of."

"Okay then…My turn, what are your intentions with my friend?" She turned to look at me.

"Um." I stopped, a little intimidated by the stare she was giving me.

"Um?" She asked.

I assumed she didn't really know what was going on, so I decided to play along. "I love Arizona. I intend to treat her as best I can. She's everything I didn't know I was looking for and I want to spend the rest of my life getting to know her and being her wife. She makes me a better person and I would never intentionally do anything to hurt her. She may be so different from me, and I may not know what I'm getting myself into, but none of that even matters. She's kind, thoughtful, she's smart and so beautiful. Every woman in this world would be lucky to have her and I thank god that he put her in my life instead of someone else's. Every single day I am grateful." I looked down into the operating room. This woman was miraculous, everything about her was miraculous. And almost all of the things I said to Dr. Edison were true.

"Wow… Okay." AJ raised her eyebrows. "I believe you."

"Good." I said, not taking my eyes off of Arizona. We didn't talk much after that. I kept my eyes on my woman and so did Dr. Edison. I noticed that she was almost drooling just as much as I was, over the surgeon in the OR. I decided to let it slide, not knowing what the situation was. They could have been former lovers, which I found very unsettling.

"She's closing up." AJ pulled me out of my trance. "Let's meet her down in the hall." She stood and I followed her without speaking a word.

We arrived just in time to see the peds surgeon step out of the scrub room. She had on light green scrubs and looked breathtaking, but I couldn't help but note that she looked a lot better in dark blue scrubs.

She smiled as AJ came into view. The smile made me a little uneasy, that was until she looked beyond her and spotted me. That smile, the smile that she gave me, took my breath away. I could see something in those bright blue eyes. Something I couldn't place.

"Calliope," She squealed, "what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." She stopped inches from me. I could feel Dr. Edison's eyes on us, so I did what I felt was necessary. I grabbed Arizona by the waist and pulled her toward me, dipping my head so that I could capture her lips in a soft kiss. She quietly moaned into the kiss and I couldn't help but smirk as we parted. Once we were apart, our eyes never left the others until a pager went off.

"Oh, that's me." AJ stated. "Uh…I'll see you guys later."

"Nice touch." Arizona smiled as I let go of her. I felt a little upset at the fact that she thought what I did was for show. Well, it was a little bit, but only because I wanted the other blonde doctor to know that Arizona was all mine.

"Can we talk?" I asked as I took her hand into mine and led her toward a different hallway.

"Sure, here." She stopped in front of a door. "On call room." She said as we walked in.

I sat down on the bed and she followed. "What's up?" She asked, putting her hand on my thigh. I couldn't help but shiver.

"Are you happy here?" I blurted out without even thinking. She turned her body toward me with a confused look on her face.

"What?"

I cleared my throat, I was more nervous than I needed to be. "Are you happy at this hospital?"

She pursed her lips and thought about it for a second. "I guess."

I could see right through her. I could never usually read someone like I could read Arizona. "You're lying."

"I am not." She made a funny face.

"You don't like it here." I squinted my eyes and looked at her.

"Calliope… I made a commitment." Arizona bit her lip and looked down at the ground. She started playing with the strings of her scrub pants. I could tell that she wasn't comfortable talking about this, but I wanted her to consider Seattle Grace, and I was willing to make her uncomfortable to do so.

"Yeah, well when does your commitment end?"

"I have two weeks to renew… or find another hospital that'll have me." She looked up at me for the first time in a while.

Arizona POV

"Have you thought about any other hospitals? Or do you want to stay here?" Calliope asked me, staying a respectable distance away.

"I… I don't know." I kept eye contact.

"I'll just cut to the chase." Callie grabbed my hands into her own. "I think you should apply for head of peds at Seattle Grace Mercy West."

"I've thought about it." I shrugged as she rubbed circles on my hand with her thumb. I wasn't lying. I had thought about it for a long time, even before I met Calliope. That was my first choice but some things came up and I wasn't able to make the deadline. I wanted to tell my fiancée that I had already filled out the necessary paperwork to submit to Chief Webber, but the words wouldn't leave my mouth, so I just stared at the stunning woman, looking into her beautiful brown eyes. Her hair was up in a messy bun and I broke eye contact to stare at her deliciously creamy tan neck.

"It isn't too late." She squeezed my hands. "You can tell Seattle Pres that you're done, and I know for a fact that the chief would love to have you. I already told you that he was a big fan of yours, and Dr. Thorne retires really soon. This job was made for you." Calliope paused, my expression was blank. "And you'll be working with me, your really, really hot fiancée, what more do you want?" She winked teasingly at me. I couldn't help but laugh. She had a point. The trip that I took to SGMW was one of the best times I have had at any hospital. It was everything I thought it would be and more. Everything was organized and just how I liked it, it was organized chaos. I knew I would be a good match for that hospital.

"Let me think about it." I gave her a weak smile and let go of her hands. "I'll look it over, and I promise, I'll let you know what I decide."

"Okay." She looked satisfied. "I emailed you the application, just in case." I looked at her with a slightly cocked head. She blushed at my action.

"Thank you," was all I could say. We stayed silent for a couple of seconds before my pager went off. "I need to take this." I gave her an apologetic smile, forgetting about the page as soon as our eyes connected again.

"Will you come over tonight?" She looked like she was surprised at the question that came out of her mouth.

"Yeah." I answered a lot more confident that she looked. Her smile spurred me on. "I get off at eight. I can be over by nine."

"Perfect." She stood up as I did. I don't know what it was, but I wanted to kiss her, with no one looking, we weren't trying to convince anyone of anything, and I still wanted to plant a good one on her.

"I want to kiss you." I blurted out before my brain fully caught up. "Um…you know…for practice."

"Practice…right…then do it." She barely whispered. I didn't say anything, but took a deep breath and inched closer and closer until I could feel her breath on my lips. She closed her eyes as our lips met. The kiss was so electrifying, I couldn't control my actions, so I wrapped my arms around her waist as she snaked her arms around my neck. I deepened the kiss, pushing my tongue into her mouth, which she accepted willingly, too willingly. I wasn't complaining though. One of her hands grabbed a hold of my hair and I moaned unintentionally as she tugged on it. As our tongues danced and slid together, everything else melted away. My lungs were screaming for air but I couldn't pull away. She felt so perfect in my mouth, between my lips, there was no way that I would end it first. Calliope pulled her tongue out of my mouth for a second so we could take a deep breath, knowing we would be right back at it, but before we could reconnect, my pager sounded again.

"Fuck." I said, still centimeters from her lips.

"You should probably get that." Calliope acted like she was going to kiss me again, but pulled away at the last second. I looked into her eyes. I had no idea what this kiss meant, but I knew that I wanted to have more of them, many, many more of them.

"Yeah I should." I shyly pulled away from her and yanked the pager from my scrub bottoms. "I have to go."

Let me know what you think.
