It was only ten minutes but for Callie it had felt like hours. She couldn't do anything at that moment, just wait. She had been pacing around the place, she knew she had things to do, she had to make sure everything was ready and that there stuff was here. But James had insisted in doing it for her, knowing that she couldn't focus anyway.

"Callie.." he said softly as he walked towards her. The Latina didn't respond, just kept pacing around the place.

"Callie." He said a little louder this time. The woman now started speaking in Spanish, it was barely audible but he recognized the language. She was rubbing her fingers over her temple, trying to calm herself down.

James stood up and stood in front of her. He grabbed her arms and shook her a bit. Startled, Callie stopped talking and looked him in the eye. His eyes seemed calm, totally in control. She was sure that hers were a mess of emotions and tears.

"You need to calm down and focus. I'm sure it's not her and if it is, we need you to be calm so that you can help her. Got it?" Callie nodded and use one of her now free hands to wipe away the tears. She sighed deeply.

"Okay."

They heard loud sounds and looked at the door of the trauma room. A bed came in with a soldier on top of it. They heard him talking to some of the other soldiers so that was a good thing, he was still alive. Callie hadn't heard how many people had died but she knew that at least two soldiers were dead, two of the guards. She just hoped that all the children were safe. And Arizona.

"Single GSW to the shoulder. Through and through." One of the other soldiers said. Callie rushed over towards the man who was now placed in one of the beds.

"Hey. What's your name?" She asked him, it was always good to bond with them.

"Matthew. My name is Matthew." The man said. Callie smiled at him and started cutting out some of the clothing that was blocking his wound. She gave him some pain killers and used gauze to stop the bleeding. It looked like their wasn't too many damage, he needed a surgery definitely but for now, he could make it. Back in Seattle she would have operated immediately but they only had two OR's and they had more people coming in and they were probably in a better shape than he was.

She left the man in his bed and nodded towards one of the nurses to keep an eye on him and make sure he wasn't bleeding too much, there had to be enough pressure on the wound.

She walked to the next bed where she saw a female nurse. James was already working on her. "Charge to 300. Clear!" He yelled as the only other nurse that was standing by the bed, clearly from the other camp given the fact that she was crying, raised her arms in the air. Callie could see on the screen that the woman's heart didn't respond to any of the shocks he gave her.

"James is there anything-" She was cut off by James himself. "Time of death eight pm." He said calmly, looking down at the woman.

The other nurses started crying harder, and buried her head in her arms. Callie wanted to comfort her but she knew that she had to move on. James was already by the third patient. She knew that this was hard for him too but he just kept on moving on.

"Get an OR ready, and tell and Torres to be here in 5!" She heard someone yell. She turned around to see her captain walking by and giving them order. She saw the nurses run towards the room to get it ready. That must be for the one injured doctor. She really didn't want to operate on Arizona.

The nurse came over to her and told her to be in OR 1, which she had already heard of course. She went to stand by the doors, waiting for the next patient. Other doctors from other camps had come in to help them so that they were with more people. They had luckily also arrived new supplies so for once they were with enough doctors and supplies.

Another car arrived and Callie sighed nervously. This was it.

The doors pushed open and showed a woman in very bad condition on a gurney. The woman, however, wasn't Arizona. It was Madison.

Callie felt a rush of relief was over her as she saw the woman. She knew she shouldn't feel that way, it was not fair and unprofessional but she couldn't help herself.

"Dr. Madison Walker, three GSW. Two to the chest and one in her arm. Looks bad." The soldier said that had pushed her inside. Callie nodded and asked some more questions about Madison as they rushed her over to the OR. "Blood type?"

"A-positive." The man responded.

Madison had been unconsciousness for 20 minutes and her heart had stopped beating multiple times, she was strong though and had come back every single time.

As the doors to the OR pushed open and Callie rushed to the room next to it, to scrub in, she looked back ones more into the trauma room, just catching the blonde locks rushing through the doors. The woman had some blood on her face and her eyes scanned the room in complete panic. Arizona.


The surgery had barely started before Madison went into v-fib ones again. Dr. Briggs used the peddles to restart her heart but this time it took a little longer. "She's back." Callie said as she watched the screen.

The two doctors and sighed. James continued working on her heart. He was quick with removing the first bullet, which had been pretty far away from her heart. It had broken a couple of ribs but besides that it luckily hadn't caused too many damage. The other one, however, was harder to get.

"Damnit." James said. Callie looked over from the arm to the woman's chest and then over to James. "What is it?" she asked.

He gestured her to walk over and look. Her eyes widened and she gasped. "Yeah. See that? The bullet is so close to the aorta, I know that if I remove the bullet, she'll start bleeding immediately and before I even have it properly removed, all of it, she'll bleed out. I need two more hands."

The nursed usually helped with suction and stopping bleedings and that kind of stuff but they couldn't perform actual procedures. They were kind of like interns here. "Callie?" He looked over at her. Callie had thought that he was talking about the nurses but he wanted her to help.

Her eyes widened and she took a step back. "No, no. I can't do this." She shook her head. Fixing the woman's arm, fixing up the nerves in the woman's arms so that she could operate again, that was her job. Not this.

"Yes. Yes you can Callie." James said calmly, looking deeply into her eyes. Callie hold his gaze a little longer before she let out a deep sigh and moved over to the other side of the table. "Okay." She said a s she walked over towards the other side of the table. One of the nurses moved aside a bit so she could see what was going on. James handed her the instrument. "I want you to go very slowly in the beginning so that we won't rupture anything else. But ones that you have it away from the aorta get it out as soon as possible so that I can stop the bleeding. Got it?" She nodded. She wasn't sure if she had ever felt this scared before in her entire life.

James asked one of the nurses to go and check if the cardiac surgeon from camp 4, Dr. Rodgers was done with her other patients. He needed all the help that he could get, but right now, he couldn't wait for the other doctor. He needed to get this bullet out as fast as possible before she started coding again.

"Okay, do it." He said as the nurse ran out. Callie slowly grabbed the bullet and started pulling very slightly. She was surprised her hand wasn't shaking like crazy. Ones it was away from the vein she pulled out quickly. Like James had thought the bleeding increased and her blood pressure dropped immediately. The nurses used as much suction as they could as James struggled with a suture.

The OR doors pushed open and Dr. Rodgers came running in. Callie updated her of the situation and the woman, who Callie had never met before rushed over towards the other side where Callie had been a minute before and started helping Dr. Briggs. Callie's attention went back to Madison's hand.


The operation had took two and a half hours but Madison survived. She had done it. She probably would be in bed for a long time after this but at least she was alive, she had made it.

Tiredly she walked into the scrub room and washed her hands off. She slowly pulled her mouth cap and scrub cap off and tossed them both in the trash. She leaned on the sinks as she thought about the tough surgery that they just had. Only then the memory of Arizona rushed back into her mind and she pushed the doors open, walking in to the trauma room again. She scanned the room but couldn't see Arizona. She quickly ran around the corner where she caught the woman sitting besides Madison's bed.

As she heard footsteps approaching the woman looked up.

"Calliope!" She said on a loud tone and rushed over towards the woman. She wanted to say something but before she could she was crushed against the other body. she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her side that hadn't been there before but she figured it must have been from the fall that she made earlier.

"I was so afraid, Arizona." Callie said into the woman's neck, holding her tightly. She hadn't even realized how scared she had truly been now that she saw Arizona. She felt the butterflies in her belly as she held the woman but ignored them. She figured she was just glad that she was alive, that's it.

"I thought it was you." The brunette said, stroking up and down the woman's back.

"Calliope." Came a very quiet reply, too quiet. Had she said something wrong? She pushed the blonde slightly away, staring in to the familiar blue eyes that seemed distant, distracted.

All of the sudden the blonde hissed and bucked forward. "Wow, are you okay?" Callie said, worried.

The woman stood up straight again. "Yeah fine, I just have a little stomach ache, it's nothing." She said, looking away from Callie.

The brunette didn't trust it and moved her hands slowly to Arizona's scrubs. She looked into the blue eyes, asking permission without speaking. The blond nodded and Callie slowly lifted the shirt.

She immediately caught the big bruise on the woman's side, but Callie knew that there was more to it. This wasn't just a bruise, Arizona was bleeding internally. She felt her breath quicken and panic crept over her ones again. "Shit!" She said as she stood up straight again.

"I need a gurney over here and prepare an OR. I have a doctor with an internal bleeding." She yelled across the room. She saw nurses running over the place and she caught James rushing over with the gurney.

She then felt a heavy weight crash down on her and she knew Arizona had passed out. "Arizona!" She screamed even though she knew the woman couldn't hear her anymore.

"Help!" she yelled ones again. James was quickly by her side and helped Arizona on top of the gurney. Callie noticed her cheeks had gotten wet, she was crying.

James and Callie started pushing the gurney to the OR. The doors were held open by two nurses who took over the bed. Inside the OR she could see three doctors standing, one of them was clearly Sam and there was Dr. Jefferson, their general surgeon and another general surgeon from camp 3. Callie wanted to rush in herself two but James stopped her. "No you can't go in there. She's your friend."

Callie gave him an eye roll and pushed him aside, trying to get through those doors again. James grabbed her arm and yanked her back, using more force than Callie was used from him. "I mean it, Torres." He said. Callie looked up to him and realized that she couldn't really do anything else than obey him.


It was already after midnight but she wasn't planning on going to sleep before she knew Arizona was going to be okay. So she had convinced James to go outside with her. It was a lot cooler at night but this time she actually enjoyed the fresh air.

They were sitting against the tree that they had sat against a little longer than two weeks ago. She didn't want to be vulnerable and she knew that James knew as much as she did but she needed to ask the question.

"Do you think she's going to be okay?" She asked, without looking up at him.

James sighed. "I hope so Callie." He could tell her that the doctor was going to be okay and everything but that was a promise that he might not be able to keep. He knew internal bleedings were bad, especially if they were caught so late.

"My wife called me today." James said. He wasn't sure if Callie was up for the distraction but he knew she needed it. He was relieved when the woman looked up at him and gave him a light smile, her eyes red from exhaustion and crying.

"How is she?" The Latina asked.

James smiled at the memory of their phone call. "She's okay. Megan just started to go to school and she's doing perfectly. She keeps asking when I get back so that she can tell me what she already learned." He said. It was tough not being there to see his little girl go to school for the first time but he knew that he wasn't far away from going home and soon he would see them again.

"It must be hard." Callie said as she looked into the eyes of the doctor.

James didn't answer, he just looked away and stared into the darkness. Callie did too and let her head rest on James' shoulder. She couldn't sleep though because her mind kept wondering to Arizona.


It was around 2 am when a nurse rushed outside to meet them. She was panting. "She's out of surgery. Everything went well, you can see her if you want to." A smile crept on the woman's face as she watched Callie jerk up and ran into the building. James followed behind her, but much slower.

Callie reached Arizona's bed. The blonde was asleep of course. They had put her in a separate patient room, they only had a couple of those but they barely used it. Now, however, they came in handy as they had given the soldier and the two doctors all separate rooms. She heard something behind her and turned around. She could see James standing in the opening of the door, rolling an extra bed. He pushed it into the room without saying something and rolled it next to Arizona's bed, careful not to pull out any wires.

"You need some sleep Callie." He said before he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Callie mouthed a tired thank you before she pulled herself on top of the bed. She grabbed Arizona's hand and ignored the shiver that she felt through her entire body. She quickly fell asleep, Arizona's hand still in her own.


Tell me what you think about it! See you soon. (Sorry for the grammar, it's 3 am :S)
