Callie returned to Arizona's room early the next morning with the discharge papers. She opened the door to see her girlfriend lying on the floor.

"Arizona?"

"Calliope thank god...please can you help me up?"

Callie bent down and picked up the blonde with ease placing her back on the bed. "What happened Ari? How long have you been on the floor?" questioned Callie.

"You have to promise not to get angry ok?"

"Um ok"

"Half an hour –"

"– Arizona!"

"I'm sorry I...I just wanted to check up on some of my patients and when I stood up I fell over because I forgot my leg was broken" winced Arizona "And then I couldn't sit up because of my stupid ribs and now they hurt again."

"Arizona...you, you have to be more careful, you're hurt and in pain you can't just go walking around" said Callie softly.

"I'm sorry Calliope I'll be careful next time" mumbled Arizona as she looked at the ground.

"Hey Arizona its ok I'm not mad at you I'm just worried about you ok. Now let me check your rips considering you fell on them".

Callie gently lifted up Arizona's top. "Ouch that hurts" mumbled Arizona

"Sorry, look you're bleeding" sad Callie as she started to unravel the bandages around Arizona's ribcage.

"How but -OUCH! Calliope...that hurts" yelped Arizona as she latched onto Callies arm.

"In the car crash you had a big cut under one of your ribs I had to stitch it up, and now the stitches are broken"

"Oh...ok. Uh Calliope - what are you doing with that? It better not be for me" stressed Arizona as she pointed to the rather large needle Callie was now holding.

"I'm Sorry Ari but I have to numb the area before I can re suture"

"No Calliope please don't"

"Hey, it's ok Arizona, it will be ok"

"No it won't Calliope I'm scared of needles"

Callie laughed. "How can you Ari? You give them to kids all the time"

"I know but that's different"

"Ok then Arizona if you let me fix your stitches when we get home I'll give you a nice surprise"

"Really?"

"Really really"

"Oh...um...ok fine, just be quick" mumbled Arizona very much embarrassed.

Callie smiled at her girlfriend then helped her lie down, she then lifted up Arizona's scrub top. "Ok I'm going to put your arm over your head ok so it exposes the area more, it's going to pull on your ribs a bit ok?"

"Ok..." Arizona winced as Callie gently moved her arm.

"Good job Arizona" said Callie as she kissed her girlfriends cheek. "I love you"

"Oh Calliope, I love you to – OWW, ouch, ouch, ouch, Cal, Cal, Calliope, stop please that hurts" cried Arizona.

"There we go all done"

"Your mean" grumbled Arizona.

"You love me" smiled Callie as she began work on re suturing Arizona's side.

"Ok all you have to do is sign here" said Callie once she had finished stitching up Arizona.

"Yay now i can go home" beamed the blonde.

Callie pushed Arizona on the wheelchair out into the parking lot. She stopped at the passenger side of the car and opened the door.

"Um Calliope"

"Yes baby"

"I cant"

"You cant what?" said Callie as she knelt down in front of Arizona

Arizona looked scared as her eyes scanned the car. Then Callie realised. "Are you afraid of the car because of your car crash?" asked Callie softly.

"yes" whispered Arizona.

"Oh baby, come here" Callie outstretched her arms and pulled Arizona into a gentle hug. "Its ok Arizona I only live across the street we will be there in two minutes"

Arizona looked scared but complied any way and let Callie help her into the car. She then placed the wheelchair in the back.

That when it hit her, the night Arizona was in the car crash she was staying at Callies house, why did she crash on the high way going into town? She let the thought go remembering to ask Arizona about it later.
