...

It was Arizona's first day that she was home alone after the accident. They had a great weekend, spent together as a family doing all sorts of fun stuff, going out together, cooking together and making a mess in the kitchen, reading, drawing, playing games. In short they did anything and everything they could and the weekend was nothing short of being heavenly. Arizona had relaxed after Callie had agreed to help Arizona get rid of her doubts about the accident. After talking, Callie had agreed to go with Arizona to the police station and ask for all details. And she had also made a point that her girlfrend had to see and consider all the medical tests she had undergone. That way she will be able to see both perspectives and the facts would help her make the right decision. So, after this discussion Arizona had relaxed a lot and had let go of all her fears and had ended up enjoying a lot. The nightmares though were another story, they had haunted her every night.

But now Monday was here, Callie had gone to the hospital while Sofia and Kerry were at school. She had taken Ethan with her, because she didn't want Arizona to exert herself much taking care of the baby. And due to the sleepless nights Arizona was very tired and thankful that Callie was this considerate. So, the blonde was sitting in the living room, in front of the TV, continuously changing channels, trying to find something worth watching.

And outside the house someone stood watching herand she was fuming with anger. Her plan had failed. Arizona was supposed to be dead. And then the part 2 of her plan had to start. But now everything had been ruined. All the planning that she had been doing for months was blown away due to her stupid mistake. She needed to control her emotions. She needed to stay focused.

But seeing Arizona sitting there all happy and safe after what she had to lose because of her, made her see red. The peds surgeon will have to pay. She just had to find another way. She had to come up with a new plan. She had waited so long already, she could wait a few more weeks if it meant that she would finally get rid of Arizona.

…

Callie had just entered the hospital with Ethan in her arms, when Teddy spotted her and made a bee line towards her with a coffee cup in her hands.

"Hey Callie. How are you?" Teddy asked as she got closer to the pair.

It took Callie a minute to locate the direction the voice came from. "Oh! Hi Teddy. I am fine. How are you? And what are you doing here?"

"I am great. How is this little guy doing? Seriously he is growing up way too fast." Teddy said in a baby voice, all her attention focused on Ethan. She finally straightened up and looked at Callie, moving the coffee towards her. "I actually wanted to ask you how Arizona is doing before I go to see her."

Callie took the coffee smiling thankfully at Teddy. She wondered for a moment if she should tell Teddy about Arizona's insistence about the accident being a deliberate attack to hurt her. But she immediately dismissed that thought.

"Arizona is getting better every day. She was really tired in the morning though." Callie explained. "I am still a little worried about leaving her alone. She is still recovering."

This was the moment that made Teddy wonder if Callie knew that Arizona had asked for the police report, she was about to ask Callie but she stopped herself. Stanley had told her about her friend's weird request a day ago. But she decided she would ask Arizona first before talking to someone else. So she just smiled.

"Well don't worry then. I am going over to your place. And I will make sure that your girlfriend is well taken care of."

Callie was thankful that Teddy had decided to check on Arizona. Maybe she would talk about her memories with Teddy and she would tell her how absurd they were. She could hope. Both women said goodbyes and went their own way.

….

Arizona had fallen asleep on the sofa after she could find nothing to watch. But as always the dreams were haunting her. But this time it was different. This time it wasn't her who was getting hurt. She was standing on the side of the road as she saw Callie driving with the kids in the car and soon she saw the gray SUV coming in full speed. All her nerves went on overdrive. She ran towards the road shouting for Callie to drive faster and go away. The gray car was still far but she knew it would pick up speed soon so she did the only thing she could think of to protect her family. She ran and stood in the middle of the road, creating a hindrance in the SUV's path. She would rather give up her life than see her family hurt.

The SUV picked up speed and rushed towards her at a frightening pace, she started to sweat, and she realized she was going to die, but at least it would save her family. Before the car could make impact, she closed her eyes, too scared to see her fast approaching death but nothing happened. She felt nothing. She thought maybe the other car had stopped. She opened her eyes but there was nothing in front of her. But then she heard screeching of breaks behind her and then the loud noise of the crash. She turned around and saw the most petrifying scene ever. The car that Callie and the kids were in had hit the wall and was upside down, the other SUV was next to it. She felt her blood run cold. She tried to run, to help but she couldn't move. She couldn't see anyone around. She started shouting Callie's name but she got no response. Soon the EMTs arrived at the scene and she was still stuck to her spot crying and shouting Callie, Kerry, Sofia and Ethan.

First she saw Callie's bloody body being pulled out of the car, followed by Kerry, Sofia and Ethan. Their bodies were covered in blood and cuts. They had bones broken at multiple points. But it was their eyes that caught her attention. They were all open, but they were lifeless. They had no light. And the reality sunk in. she fell to the ground, sobbing helplessly. She felt her world crashing. And then she heard that laugh, the laugh that had been haunting her since the accident. And someone placed their hand on her shoulder from behind as they shook her.

She jolted up straight, her vision blurred. She couldn't understand what was happening, her brain was still stuck in a different world.

"Arizona are you okay?" Teddy asked.

She had come almost half an hour ago. She had been continuously knocking on the door but received no response. After 10 minutes of knocking and waiting she had gotten worried. She had then gone around the house to see if the back door was unlocked but it wasn't. Looking in through the window, she found her friend sprawled on the couch, sleeping. She remembered Callie telling her that Arizona was tired. She decided to leave and come back later but before she could go, she saw her starting to thrash around making muffled noises and that alerted her.

She had instantly started calling Callie, so she could ask about extra set of keys. After trying for a few minutes Callie picked her phone but she was in surgery so Teddy didn't go in the details and just told her that Arizona was sleeping so she wanted to know about the keys. Callie informed her about the spare key being in the pot of flowers on the left side of the door. After disconnecting the call Teddy had hurriedly gotten the key and opened the door.

When she had entered Arizona was crying in her sleep and was shaking badly. Thing got worse and she started shouting for Callie and the kids. Teddy tried to calm Arizona down, not waking her up instantly, but nothing worked. But when Arizona started outright sobbing Teddy got very worried and shook her shoulder gently while softly calling her name.

But instead of calming down, Arizona jolted up and looked around confused. She was frazzled, shaking and the tears were still falling down her eyes. This all had worried her a lot.

Arizona turned around when she heard Teddy's voice. Her brain finally succeeding in registering the right surroundings. She tried to right herself and look cheerful but the look in Teddy's eyes showed that she was not fooled.

"I'm okay. I'm okay. Just had a bad dream." Arizona replied, trying to keep her voice strong.

"You were crying Arizona!" Teddy exclaimed. "What was the dream about?" she asked softly when she saw the crestfallen look on her friend's face.

Arizona wanted to lie and pretend that everything was fine, but she knew she couldn't do that. "It was about the accident." She replied with a sigh. "But it wasn't me who was in the accident, it was Callie and the kids and… and I saw them, Teddy..." Arizona again started crying. "They… they didn't make it. I tried to help but I couldn't move. I couldn't do anything."

That was Arizona's biggest fear. That someone would try to hurt her family and she wouldn't be able to do anything. She wouldn't be able to save them. And seeing the whole thing in her dream had frazzled her a lot more than she would like to admit.

Understanding flashed across Teddy's face and she hugged her crying friend tightly. "shhh. It's okay. It was just a dream. They are all fine. Callie is at the hospital rocking a surgery and Ethan is there too, babbling and making friends. Sofia and Kerry are in school probably irritating their teachers and whatnot." Teddy said as she kept on rocking the crying woman.

"They are all fine."

Eventually Arizona calmed down. Teddy didn't bring up the topic of the police report. Now she understood what Arizona meant when she told Stanley that she needed closure. Apparently this accident had affected her more than anyone of them thought it would. They proceeded to have a fun day, lazing around and laughing. And Teddy was happy to see Arizona smiling after what had happened before.

…

She was anxiously waiting for her Teddy to join her in front of her building. She had taken a cab, too scared to drive at the moment.

She was walking on eggshell with everybody lately, avoiding to talk about the circumstances of the accident. She was sure that she was right, but everybody around her kept saying the opposite. And she was tired of it all. Her every move was being questioned. It was like everyone thought she wasn't good enough to function properly. And she hated this baby treatment she was receiving because people thought she was crazy.

"Hey!" Teddy pulled her out of her daydreaming. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah..." Arizona said quietly as the two of them walked to Teddy's car. It was a movie night and Arizona wasn't really comfortable going out, but Callie had insisted she should go out with her friends so she had agreed.

"So how was your week?" Teddy asked as she started the car. "Sorry I've been busy like hell, I couldn't come to visit after Monday."

"It's okay Teddy, I can take care of myself." Arizona replied a little coldly.

"I know that. I was just saying I should have been there to help you with the kids..."

"I can take care of my kids too..."

"Arizona... I didn't mean that at all... you are taking things the wrong way."

"Well what did you want to say then?" Arizona snapped.

Her eyes were avoiding any contact and she was staring at the roadside, visibly tense.

The rest of the ride remained silent and Teddy didn't really know what to do to cheer her up.

"So what's your pick?" She asked Arizona when they arrived in front of the cinema.

"I don't care." Arizona replied, still distant and apparently not at all remembering that the night out was planned so she could relax with Teddy.

As the taller woman sighed and took a look at the movies playing that night, Arizona suddenly felt someone observing her. She didn't know why but she was sure someone had their eyes on her. She felt her skin burning by the unknown gaze that was settled on her. She looked everywhere, anxiously, feeling her heart beating faster and her hands becoming sweaty.

There were a lot of people around them and loud noises everywhere. It was almost impossible to see or hear anything clearly.

She didn't know where to look, who to look at and was turning her head everywhere.

"What are you doing?" Teddy worried, noticing the strange behavior of her friend. "Is everything okay?"

Arizona didn't reply and suddenly locked her gaze with a person not so far from her.

It was them, with their dark hood hiding their face.

She swallowed and stared at them, not really sure what to do but unable to stay there. She was being spied on, it was confirmed now. And this person wanted to destroy her family. She couldn't let that happen.

And on a whim, she began to run towards the person she was sure was pursuing her, pushing and shoving people out of her way forcefully. She had to catch them to know what they wanted from her.

"Arizona?" Teddy yelled looking at her running in the opposite direction. "What the hell..."

She followed her as fast as she could. Luckily for her, because of the prosthetic the blonde wasn't able to run very fast.

"He was here..." Arizona said when Teddy reached her, standing in the middle of the sidewalk, trying to catch her breath.

"Who was here? Who are you talking about...?"

"I..." She bend her body, her hands on her thighs and grumbled loudly. "I'm sorry I can't stay here..."

...

It was later that night that Arizona came home.

She knew Callie had tried to call her several times but she had been so lost in her fears that she had shut her phone off.

She opened the door, quietly and without switching the light on, avoiding waking up Callie or the kids. But she was surprised to find her girlfriend sitting on the couch, visibly anxious and pissed off.

"Oh my god you're back!" Callie said, relieved to find the love of her life safe.

"You've been waiting for me?" Arizona asked cautiously.

"Of course I have." Callie said, standing up and taking her in her arms before scrutinizing her from head to toe. "Are you okay? Everything is alright?"

"Callie..." Arizona mumbled, feeling ashamed.

"Teddy called and explained what happened, and you weren't picking my calls... I freaked out!" She said, holding Arizona tighter.

"I'm sorry, I..."

"SSssshh... You're here with me, that's the only thing that matters.

...

Arizona and Callie were sitting in the police station waiting for the designated officer. They didn't have to wait long as they were soon being ushered to an office and were asked to take seats. Minutes later the door opened and an officer walked in moving towards the chair behind the desk. He smiled at the ladies.

"Hello. I am Officer Greene. How may I help you?"

"Hi. I'm Callie Torres and this is my girlfriend Arizona Robbins." Recognition seemed to dawn on the officer after hearing Arizona's name. Callie looked at Arizona encouraging her to talk.

"I was in the accident near the courthouse." Arizona started, her voice shaking a bit.

Callie immediately took hold of Arizona's hand to give her support.

"Ah yes! I remember that. But your statement has already been taken and no charges have been pressed. The case has been closed. Then why are you here?" the policeman inquired.

"I just wanted to know what exactly had happened at the accident. I… my memories… it's just that…" Arizona couldn't form sentences. She didn't know what to say and what not to. Callie picked up on her struggle and squeezed Arizona's hand that was in her own and started speaking.

"Actually she doesn't remember much of what actually happened, and her memories are not exactly how the police report is. But that could be due to her medical condition as was explained before by the doctors. But can you please explain the events of the accident so that she knows what actually happened and can remove her confusion."

The officer looked taken aback by the request. It was not every day that people would come back for a closed case especially when they were at fault according to the report. He sat there looking at the two women, analyzing them, like he was trying to figure something out. The more the silence prolonged the weirder Arizona felt. She felt like she was being put under a microscope and observed because people thought she was unstable or something.

"Well then, let me get the report for you so that we can talk about everything you want to know." The officer finally said. He used the intercom to ask for the file to whoever was on the other end.

"I just don't want to read the file. It will be very helpful if you could explain things yourself in detail. I want your professional view on the events." Arizona requested. She had already gone through the report herself and wanted more details. She found that the report wasn't as detailed as she had expected.

Just then a knock was heard at the door and another officer walked in and handed a file over to Officer Greene. Callie immediately recognized him. He was Officer Miller, the rookie on the case, the one who had come to inform them about the accident at home.

"Hello miss Torres." Looked like he had recognized the other woman as well. "How are you doing now?" and he remembered what had happened when he informed her about the accident.

"Officer Miller. I am good now that I know my girlfriend is ok." She said pointing towards Arizona who smiled at him.

Their chat was interrupted by Officer Greene. "Well here is the file. Officer Miller would you stay here as well, as you worked the scene too."

And then he started reading the report. Arizona knew all that already. She looked at Callie who was listening intently to every word being said. Arizona could see that she was trying, she was trying to listen to Arizona's side, and she was trying to be as supportive as she could. And Arizona loved her all the more for that. But she also knew the truth, the report would at the end make Callie's believe stronger in what they all think happened and she wouldn't believe Arizona. So Arizona decided to cherish the moments in which someone was ready to believe her, because she didn't knew how long they would last. But she had to try to find the truth, she was determined.

"So that is all there is in the report. If you want a verbal report, Officer Miller was there on the scene first." Officer Greene said and soon Miller was talking.

"When we reached on scene, there were two cars, upside down. The gray SUV was on fire, while Miss Robbins' car had an oil leak. Miss Robbins was passed out in her car while the other driver miss Kennard, was responsive but in shock and going away from the scene. We had to drag her in the right direction because she had no idea what was happening. She was totally in shock. The rescue teams started getting you out and seconds after we pulled you out, the car exploded." Officer Miller gave the shortened version of things.

"So the other woman was walking away. Wasn't she injured? The accident had been pretty bad." Arizona inquired.

"No she wasn't. She had a few cuts and bruises but she was fine otherwise." He said but officer Greene jumped in instantaneously.

"She was fine physically but mentally she was a mess. Plus we can agree that even you were lucky to survive it. So looks like both parties had luck on their side."

Callie felt overwhelmed by all the information. This was all too much. She could have lost Arizona.

"Can you please tell us about the things you found in our cars, like you would have made an inventory or something?" Arizona asked and Officer Greene sighed.

"Mam the cars blew up. There was barely anything left. It was a big explosion." He stated in an irritated voice.

Arizona turned her attention towards Officer Miller. He was new and was likely to slip up. "You were first on the scene, and you are a trained officer right?"

"Yes I am a fully trained professional mam." the officer replied not knowing where the line of questioning was going.

"So it is a part of your training to fully analyze a scene in an instant before you take action. Isn't it?" she asked again.

"Yes it is." Officer Miller replied again feeling a bit fidgety under the direct line of questioning.

Callie felt like Arizona was going overboard, they had already been given all the information. She tried to get Arizona's attention but the other woman had her gaze fixed on the young officer.

"So that means you must know what things were there in my car or the other car. You were one of the people who got me out so you must have seen things. Plus if the things were burnt. You must have an idea about what materials they were or something of that sort." Arizona fired ahead. The young officer looked scared and confused for a moment and even officer Greene looked uncomfortable. "Or are you just an incompetent young kid, trying to play police?" Arizona said trying to instigate.

Callie squeezed her hand and gave it a little pull to make Arizona stop but Arizona wasn't giving up. And when the young officer felt his credentials being questioned, he immediately became overzealous to prove himself and started listing off things.

"When I got at the scene, the first thing I noticed were the cars on fire and ran towards them to see who was in there. I had already called in for backup. I got to the other SUV first as it was burning more badly than yours, so I wanted to get people out of that vehicle first. But there was no one inside. It was easy to guess that the driver of the SUV was a woman because all the compartments of the car were open probably due to the impact, and the makeup was strewn around everywhere along with a few other items; all the things you might find typically in a car owned by a female driver."

"Other items like?" Arizona questioned. She wanted to know if there was a chance that the black hood or the glasses she remembered in her memories were in there.

"items of clothing, tissue papers, sun glasses, some printed papers, pictures, a cam…" the rookie started explaining but was interrupted by officer Greene.

"I think Miss Robbins wants to know more about her car. She wants to remember what happened to her, not what happened to the innocent victimmiss Kennard." He said placing emphasis on the words innocent and victim.

This threw Arizona for a loop. Items of clothing, he didn't mention what they were and then the sunglasses and was he about to say a camera. But looked like Officer Greene was not open to giving a lot of information. So she just kept quiet. The jab that the officer took didn't go unnoticed by her as well.

"They were both victims in the accident. It wasn't Arizona's fault. It was a medical issue." Callie said trying to defend Arizona. Apparently she had felt the hatred as well.

"I agree Doctor Torres, that's why I don't understand why you are here when all the medical files are available to you and you clearly know what they say." The officer replied, like his time was being wasted. "As for Miss Robbins' car, I came there soon after. I was second on scene followed by the rescue teams. Me and Officer Miller helped get you out. You were passed out. Your seat belt was still on. So we had to release you of that." officer Greene was then cut off by the enthusiastic rookie.

"Yeah, we had to cut your seatbelt ultimately because it was stuck. That took us some time, we were…" his rant was cut off as he received a glare from his superior.

"As he said, it took us time, we barely dragged you a few feet away and the cars blew up seconds later. You were quite lucky. Even your injuries were not that extensive. Looks like somebody was looking over you from the heavens. Probably a loved one." Now officer Greene's tone was affectionate.

Callie on the other hand was a mess she had tears running down her face. And it all actually was finally hitting her, how bad the accident was and how close she was to losing Arizona.

…..

After coming back home Arizona and Callie had been sitting on their bed for an hour now, none of them had said a single word. Both of them were trying to process the information and form conclusions. None of them knew what to say. Arizona finally broke the silence, she wanted to know what was going on in Callie's head.

"So what do you think?"

"I think that officer is an ass" Callie replied which made both women laugh out loud.

"That he is." Arizona replied with a smile as she got up and sat closer to her girlfriend. "But… you know what I mean."

"I do." But she had no idea what she thought. The medical evidence was still too strong. But then again her heart wanted to trust Arizona completely. "My brain and heart are at a war right now."

"I can understand that. We are doctors, we believe in physical proof. We believe in scans, reports and tests. And right now they all don't support me." Arizona replied with a huge sigh, her gaze lowered to the floor.

Callie hooked her finger under Arizona's chin and gently lifted her face up. Slowly and gradually their eyes met and Callie saw the loneliness and burden that was there in the blue eyes along with the insecurity.

"It might take me some convincing to fully believe this. But I do support you, I will do whatever makes you feel more comfortable. If you think somebody wants to harm us, we will be more careful, we will make sure to pick the kids up on time, and we won't go out after its dark. We will take care of each other. It's not necessary for us to see eye to eye, but you will never be alone. I am here and I will be here. We will do things your way. I love you so much and I could have lost you but you are here and you are safe. And that's all I need. We can get through anything."

By the end of the speech both women had tears running down their faces. Though Callie did not believe her but she was ready to support her and that was more than what she had expected. Her girlfriend was trying and she loved her. She didn't think she was totally crazy. And that meant the world to Arizona right now.

"I love you too." That was all a crying Arizona could reply before she crashed her lips with Callie's, soft caressing touches were exchanged and soon they lost themselves in each other.

…

A few days later, Arizona was still on leave. Her injuries weren't really extensive, but she needed rest before getting back to work. Callie had been really happy with the progress they had made. She hadn't had a panic attack after their talk and that had made Callie breathe a little easily.

So, now Callie had dropped her at April's place to enjoy and have fun before driving the kids to school and Arizona was happy to spend time with one of the few people who seemed to believe her.

They were in a coffee shop, having late breakfast and were mainly talking about the latest gossip from GSM.

"That's is something I don't really miss..." Arizona pointed.

"It's fun to say bad things about people. Makes you feel better." April joked with a wink.

"I'm not ready to tolerate all the curious looks..." Arizona said. "I hate when people stare. Everybody around me already thinks I'm crazy..."

"Give them some time. They're just worried about you."

"Maybe I am... I feel like somebody is following me... It's just a feeling but it feels so real...Like those dreams I have about the accident... It's so weird April. I'm paranoid all the time. It's driving me nuts!"

"Just try to relax ok? We're here, you have nothing to fear. You're going to sign the papers for Kerry in a few days and everything will be behind you."

Arizona smiled at her friend. She had said the words she needed to hear and she was grateful to have April in her life.

"So, what about the baby! Tell me! When are you going to announce it?"

"We don't know... After Samuel, we prefer to be sure everything is perfectly fine before..."

April stopped as she noticed Arizona staring at something behind her, her face pale.

She turned to look at the crowd walking in the streets and then back to her friend.

"Arizona? Are you okay?"

The blonde was petrified, her eyes staring at something April was unable to identify.

"Arizona? Hey? What's wrong?"

She had to violently shake her shoulders to gain her attention.

"Hey, what happened?"

"I... heard some camera sound... And there was that ... I thought..."

Arizona was mumbling and sweating so hardly April worried immediately.

"Okay, it's okay. We're going back home alright? Or to the hospital? I'm sure Ethan would love to have a walk with Auntie April and his mama... Come on, let's go..."

...

After arriving at the day care, Arizona rushed to Ethan and sat in a quiet corner, holding her son tight.

April was in the hallway, looking through the window, worrying about Arizona's extreme behavior.

"What are you doing here?" Callie asked as she was about to visit her son after a long surgery.

"Hey Callie..." April replied.

"Where's Arizona?"

April raised her head to the corner where Arizona was settled on a rocking chair, the baby on her chest, stroking his blonde curls, looking into space.

Callie gulped at the view. She immediately knew what had happened.

"Oh god..." She whispered... "She had another panic attack didn't she...?"

"She froze and she became so pale... She was shaking and mumbling..." April explained. "I managed to get her back here but she was so upset..."

"I thought that was over..." Callie said, clenching her fist in frustration.

"She's under a lot of pressure though..."

"I know, but I'm trying to give her the space and the love she needs, but she's escaping April. I don't want to push her but I don't want to mother her either..."

"You should talk to her and maybe believe her..." April said.

"Maybe I should... But I don't know if it's a good idea..."

"What isn't a good idea?" Teddy asked as she walked to the two surgeons accompanied by Bailey.

The four woman looked at the shadow of Arizona who was visibly losing control of her life.

"She's been so stressed lately." Teddy said. "She is not telling us what she's thinking, she's giving us what we want to hear and that's not good..."

"I know..." Callie whispered. "What can I do? I'm so lost here..."

"You have to give her time." Bailey explained. "She's been through a lot and I think the accident triggered something in her."

"What are you talking about? Some kind of PTSD?" Teddy asked.

"No, maybe just a fear. She's been so upset because of the Roney drama, she almost lost everything and when she had her life back, and even more than she could have expected with you and the kids Callie, she almost lost it all again."

"You think she's right about the accident?" Callie worried.

"I don't know. But you have to talk to her." Bailey said while the four of them were still looking at Arizona, rocking her son in her arms.
