4.
Arizona finally opens her eyes and she finds Alex sit a chair beside her hospital bed. She couldn't help but feels a lil bit disappointed, she wants Callie to be here not Alex. But yeah, Callie said she's done.
"Hey, Alex, what are you doing in here?"
"What do you think I'm doing?"
"Why you ask me back?"
He smiles, "congratulations, Robbins. You really are pregnant."
Arizona rolls her eyes. "Was it so hard to believe that I'm pregnant?"
"You really ask for that?"
"No. It's rhetorical."
Alex chuckles. "I mean it when I said if you need me, I'm here. So, what you need now?"
"Going home?" It's more a question than a request. She knows the hospital protocol and she hates being a patient. She wants to go home, lays in her own bed.
Alex pauses a lil bit. "Okay, I take you home?"
"Really?"
"Sure. Where's your home anyway?"
"Umm, my old apartment when I was with Callie."
"You kidding, right?" When Alex knows she's not, he just shakes his head in disbelief. "Alright then, let's get you out here."
Alex went to take a wheelchair, Arizona gets annoyed. "Seriously, dude? I may have one leg, but I'm not a crippled. I'm pregnant!"
"Hey, now. I know. It's hospital protocol. You wanna go home or not? Come on, hoop on," he smirks and knows that will makes her annoyed.
Alex pushes Arizona's wheelchair to a parking lot. "Arizona, do you have, you know, a support system when you give a birth?" He asks.
"Why you ask?" Arizona can feel a pure attention he gave, he called her with her first name.
"Well, just asking. I can be your support system if you want."
"Aww, sweet. You care and you want to take care of me," she teases him.
"Shut up. Okay, I'm taking back my offer!"
Arizona laughs. "Thank you, Alex."
"Whatever."
…
Callie went to Arizona's room and found it empty. "Where's Arizona?" She asks a nurse.
"Doctor Robbins just discharged, Doctor Torres."
"What? By who?"
"Doctor Karev."
Again, she feels anger. "Freaking Karev. He's not even an OB!" She walks away.
She then decided to go to Arizona's apartment right away.
…
In front of Arizona's apartment door, she heard her laugh and a male's voice that she knows it Karev's. She opens the door, make the two of them look at her. "What? Am I interrupting something?" She asks sarcastically.
"Torres, what are you doing in here?"
"Alex …" Arizona warns him. "Do you need something, Callie?"
"Yeah. You owe me an explanation. A lot of it."
"Guess what, Torres? Can you stop being a jerk?" Alex confronts her.
"Alex! Stop. It's between me and Callie!"
"Yeah, Karev. It's between me and her." Callie echoed. "It's not your business."
"It is my business if you hurt her again."
"Alex, I'm not hurt." Arizona confused by the sudden change of tense. "Come on, you ask me what I need? Now I need you to cooling down and let me talk to Callie. Can you?" If there's a kind of talk anyway.
"Fine, you call me, okay?"
"I will. Thanks again," she smiles and Alex leaves her and Callie.
"I don't know you have a bodyguard," Callie says still in her sharp's tone.
Arizona sighs. "I'm sorry if he was bothering you, Callie. But I can't have a conversation if you won't listen and yell at my face again," Arizona rubs her belly.
Callie looks at her. She feels guilty. "Okay, let's have a nice talk and a civil conversation."
…
They sit in a couch, Callie couldn't help but stare at Arizona. She eats ice cream, red velvet cake and chocolate pudding. That's a lot of sugars.
"Do you want some? I'm craving for a sweetness," Arizona says.
"No, thank you. I still want an explanation."
"Alright, what you wanna know?"
"Everything. Your pregnancy, your moving back to this apartment."
Arizona takes a long breath. "I'm moving back here because this was my happy place. Is my happy place. I mean, beside the hospital. I don't wanna live in the hospital, I kinda lived there with Nicole Herman."
"You kidding. Last time I remember, you don't like live in here because of the shower and the hospital bed in our bedroom. That's why we bought a house."
"I did. There was a crappy memories too, but a happy memories was a lot more. I tried to rent another place and lived there with Andrew,"
"Andrew?" Callie cuts her.
"Deluca, the intern."
"Right, go on."
"I need to come back here because I need a place that not too far away from the hospital. In case my pregnancy needs a lil bit special treatment, I fainted twice. I know my own condition."
"So, your pregnancy. Why change? You never want a kids in your life. Hell, it has been our issue. We broke up because of that."
Arizona sighs and takes a deep breath. "I was, Callie. I did never want kids. But if you remember it right, it has changed even before you were pregnant with Sofia. I wanna have a kids with you .."
"No, you don't!" Callie cuts her again. "I begged you for our second child for God's sake! Guess what? You said you can't take another lost!" Callie's voice rise.
"Please, don't yell. I won't have any other conversation if you keep yelling." Arizona rubs her belly again. She seeks for comfort and is comforting her baby. Although it just a blob now.
Callie takes Arizona's ice cream, she needs it. She doesn't know what happened to her, she feels the anger easy to takes her logic. "I'm sorry," she mumbles. "Please continue."
"You put your words to my mouth, Callie. I did want to have our second child. I was pregnant, then miscarriage. Yes, I can't take another lost, and then I still offered to carry our child, remember? As I recall, you said we were unstable, you didn't want destroy us if something happened. What you didn't know, what I want was, you keep support me if something happened. That we still in this together, but you didn't. You put your words to my mouth," Arizona repeats the first sentence.
Callie speechless.
"I decided to get pregnant because I was lonely. I am. But I won't in eight months later. I'll have my baby," Arizona rubs her belly again.
