Chapter 6

Previously:

"I agree. I been laying here thinking as well. And I agree, we have all been complete jerks to the one person who deserves more happiness then anyone I know. Without even knowing I failed my sister and I need to fix this. I need her to know that I want NO need her in my life. And Not just Arizona but Lexi as well. Also I need for Lexi to see the true nature of Mark Sloane." She said.

"Wait sister? What are you taking about?" Amelia asked confused as hell

Now:::

Meredith and the others looked like deer's caught in head lights at Amelia's question.

Amelia just kept looking from on doctor to another confused as to what she just heard Meredith say.

"Ok someone please tell me what's going on!" Amelia finally said

Derek cleared his throat and retold Amelia everything from what happened to Mer till now.

Amelia was left speechless. Then she said "Huh! No wonder I used to see certain mannerisms and traits that Mer has were so similar to that of Arizona's. It used to confuse me but now it makes sense."

Everyone look at her for a moment, each retracing every interaction they have ever had with Arizona and Meredith and then like a light bulb went on somewhere, the look of realization overcame them all and the all looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Ow. It hurts to laugh. Gosh I never realized but Amelia is right Arizona and I have a lot of similarities and no one even noticed." Meredith said.

Just as she said this Arizona herself walked in to the room "Dr. Montgomery! I have been paging you for over 15 mins. Why the hell aren't you answering your page? I know you are worried about Dr. Grey but you must realize that this hospital has other patients, ones that need your attention. Now if you are done socializing I suggest you start doing what you are being paid to do or I will revoke the offer this hospital has made to you. I do not have time to deal with people who don't take their job seriously. And I suggest that the rest of you do the same. Dr. Grey needs her rest as well." Arizona said coldly and with that she walked out.

Everyone in the room exchanged looks then the 4 doctors scrambled out of the room yelling that they would see Meredith later. Meredith just laughed (wince due to the pain) thinking for all their talk, they are terrified of Arizona Robbins. My sister is fucking cool.

Few hours later….

Addison walked out of the OR and headed straight to the Attending's lounge. She was getting a bottle of water from the fridge when Arizona walked in talking to someone on the phone.

"Yes dad I am fine. I have my meds and my wounds are healing really well…..yes I got it checked out at Seattle Pres…Noo no Dad we are not talking about this right now. I can't. Look I have to go I will call you and mom tonight and we will talk then. Yes I will. Love you too. Bye" Arizona ended the call and looked at her phone for a while then shook her head and pocketed the phone in her lab coat the made her way to the fridge to get her yogurt. She dint notice that she had not one but 5 people in the room with her and they all were staring at her with confused and hurt looks adorning there features.

She turn around and paused as she then noticed that Addison, Amelia, Bailey, Lexi and Alex were staring at her. After a few seconds she shrugged her shoulders and set down on the sofa and continued eating the yogurt like no one was in the room.

Bailey broke the silence "You went to Seattle Pres for a check-up when you own a hospital full of doctors? Why would you do that Arizona?" she asked

"I don't trust anyone in this hospital with my life, well except for Sandra but she was in surgery at the time so yeah." She said and shrugged her should again as if that were the answer they needed. With that she stood up and walked out without a glance back. If she had look back she would have seen the look of devastation adorning the features of the doctors she left behind.

About 5 mins later she walks back in to find that the 5 doctors were still standing in the same position they were in when she first walked out. But she just shrugs it off and turns to the person she was wanting to talk with initially. She waves a hand in front of the doctor to get her attention and when Addison finally looks at her, Arizona doesn't acknowledges the unshed tears, she just continues to say what she wanted. (It's not like she saw the tears, cause Arizona doesn't make eye contact in the first place, she is looking off the side of Addison's head to the wall behind her. It's a way that Arizona has made it so she doesn't give into her emotions. These people have hurt her and she needs to protect herself. She doesn't want to see the hate or disgust in their eyes which she has been seeing ever since the divorce. So no she never makes direct eye contact. But what she doesn't know is that there is no hate or disgust just remorse, sadness, shame, regret and also admiration and respect, all this for her but she is unaware of it.)

"Dr. Montgomery, if you have a few minutes I would like to speak with you along with the rest of the board in conference 2. It won't take long we just have somethings to discuss." Arizona says politely yet her voice still hard.

Addison just nods then she notices that Arizona isn't looking at her for some reason so she adds "Yes sure Dr. Robbins I will be there in a few minutes." She adds a smile and tried to catch Arizona's eyes but Arizona gives a terse nod and walks out again.

Addison watches her leave then shakes her head and slumps on the sofa with her head in her hands. The rest of the doctors do the same in their seats and bailey breaks the silence.

"she doesn't trust us with her life? What does she mean by that? We are the best surgeons this country has. And we are her friends why doesn't she trust us but she trust the chief who is new?"

"Bailey tell me, if you were Arizona would you trust the people who have shunned you and treated you like a worthless piece of garbage because your ex has taken up all the sympathy and loyalty from them and you are left alone with no one to turn to. What would you do if you were in her position? What would you do if you felt abandoned by the people who you thought were your friends and family only to find out that you meant nothing to them? Only to find out that the friendships you thought you had were not as strong enough or genuine enough for someone to stick by your side? Tell me Miranda what would you do?" Addison said her voice rising in volume.

"I… I …..Wouldn't trust us either" Bailey finally manages to say in a broken voice when she realizes what Addison means.

Everyone is stunned. But Addison just stands and walks out to go to the conference room. When she reached the room she take a deep breath and walks in. everyone is there except for Meredith. So she takes a seat in an empty chair and waits for someone to speak.

Sandra speaks first "Thanks for coming Dr. Montgomery. We won't take much of your time, we just want to discuss your possible move to Seattle for a more permanent position."

"We know that you have a partnership in a private practice in LA. But we wold be honoured if you would accept our offer and take up the position of Chief of Fetal and Neo-Natal Surgery at our hospital Dr. Montgomery." Arizona added this time her tone was Genuine and warm "We have the contract here and we would like if you would take time to read through it and let us know in your own time if you accept our offer." She added this with a smile.

Addison just looked at Arizona. Having heard the tone of her voice and the warm smile directed to her. She just took the contract and signed it and handed it back to Arizona. She didn't need to read the contract. She had already decided that she would take the offer.

Everyone just look at her in amusement at her eagerness in signing the contract. Callie thought Addison was looking like an idiot with that goofy expression adorning Addison's face.

"Well that was quick. Don't you want to read the contract first before signing it?" Callie ask sarcastically still a bit mad at her for defending Arizona and confused at why Addison just signed the contract so fast.

Addison sharply turned to Callie and levelled her with a cold stare and replied "When the Lead Director of the hospital board ask you to consider an offer such as this, you would be a fool not to consider it." Addison turned to look at Arizona and deliberately made sure to make eye contact and add "Besides I had already thought it over and had decided prior to this meeting that I would accept this offer. I may have ulterior motives. I need to make amends and get back someone's trust and friendship and I am determined to do everything I can to make it happen." She added a wink towards Arizona and turned to Sandra "I look forward to being part of the hospital. I also look forward to working with you and Dr. Robbins more."

"Uh. Well ok... Thank you Dr. Montgomery for accepting the position. We all look forward to working with you and having you part of our team. If that is all I think this meeting is now over. You are all dismissed." With that everyone got up and started leaving

Addison paused at the door and turn back to face a still sitting Arizona who had a confused look on her face and said "I meant what I said Dr. Robbins. We started off on the wrong foot, but I will do all it takes to win your trust and friendship. You may think no one cares but if you look hard enough you will see there are a few who have realized their mistake and are willing to bend over backwards to earn your forgiveness, trust and friendship. And we will win it and prove to you that this time we won't leave you alone. Please Arizona give us a chance and let us prove to you we mean what we say. I know for a fact that soon very very soon you will have 4 bestest friend in the whole world and we promise not to ever let you down again. Just give us a chance."

Arizona looked like she was having world war three in her head. There were so many emotions swirling in her eyes. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and looked at Addison still not making eye contact and said in a soft but stern tone "Um Dr. Montgomery I think I made myself very clear in the cafeteria. I um I can't do this. I'm sorry but... It's great to have you here permanently but I don't think I can be your friend or whatever that means… just I got to go." With that Arizona pushed past Addison and walked away.

Addison just smiled as she left the room and made her way to the new hang out (Meredith's hospital room). As she entered she saw Callie ranting to Meredith but also noticed that Callie was missing the look of anger on Meredith's face.

"…And who does she need to make amends with and whose friendship is she determined to do everything to get. And what was that wink she gave Arizona. I can't believe Addison is trying to be friendly with a bitch like Arizona. Addison is my friend she is not supposed to be friendly with Arizona…"

Before she could continue Meredith cut her off her voice though tire due to the pain she was in was still portraying her anger and the glare she had directed at Callie could have melted an iceberg.

"ENOUGH! Dr. Torres you may be Addison's 'Friend' but that does not give you the right to dictate who she interacts with or how she speaks and acts towards other people. She can be friends with whoever she wants and you should seriously start minding your own goddamned business!"

Addison had already walked fully in the room and had seen Meredith's heart rate increase in the monitor she was about to say something when another more dangerous voice cut in.

"What the hell is going on here!?" all three occupants in the room turned towards the door with wide eyes to see an enraged looking Arizona Robbins standing in the doorway.

"DR. TORRES DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING? I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE MEREDITH'S BEST FRIEND, I AM WARNING YOU NOW YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR PERSONAL LIFE OUTSIDE OF THIS ROOM. MEREDITH IS A PATIENT HERE. SHE JUST HAD A BLOODY ACCIDENT FOR FUCKS SAKE. DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT SHE DOES NOT NEED ANY ADDED STRESS RIGHT NOW? THE LAST TIME YOU CAME IN RANTING ABOUT USELESS THINGS SHE STARTED CODING. LOOK AT HER, SHE IS IN PAIN AND IS UTTERLY EXHAUSTED AND HER HEART RATE IS GETTING ERRATIC. YOU BEING A DOCTOR SHOULD KNOW NOT TO PUT STRESS TO A PATIENT LIKE THIS. SO MOVING FORWARD UNLESS YOU ARE HERE TO CHECK ON HOW SHE IS FEELING AND RECOVERING YOU WILL NOT COME IN HERE. OR I WILL NOT HESITATE IN REPORTING YOU TO HR FOR RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS A PATIENT! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" Arizona was livid. She could not believe that Callie would behave this way. And to make it worse ever since she found out the Meredith was her sister, her protectiveness towards the younger blond had grown 10 folds. She could not help but let her mama bear instincts take over.

Addison was grinning widely and Meredith was swooning at her sister's protectiveness.

"I ASKED YOU A FUCKING QUESTION DR. TORRES!"

Callie looked at Meredith for help but saw she wasn't going to get any from her so she looked at Addison and saw the same so she spoke hotly to Arizona defensively not noticing the crowd that had formed outside which included Derek, Amelia, Christina, Bailey, Webber, Lexi and Sandra All of who were smiling at the protective and authoritative Blond (Arizona)

"Who do you think you are Arizona? You have no right to tell me what to and what not to do. I am Meredith's best friend and I can do and say whatever the hell I please to her and I can do it anytime! YOU have no right or authority over her or me. Besides no one here wants you so why do you just run off and hide already!"

Just then another voice was adding his unwelcomed comment from behind her "Yeah Blondie just run away like you always do like a cowed and leave everyone alone. You have no say here." This was Mark Sloan.

Everyone was silent and holding their breath they all knew Callie and Sloan had now crossed the line.

That was it Arizona had had it with Callie Torres and Mark Sloan. Now she was going to show who she was and these two people were in for a surprise of their life. She turn her attention to Meredith she walked up to her and checked her vitals and made sure she was ok "Meredith are you in any pain? Do you need anything right now?" she asked in a soft caring voice which sent everyone except the ones who knew the truth in to shock.

"I'm a little sore all over but nothing too bad. The drugs are helping." Meredith relied here voice equally soft but filled with awe and she looked at Arizona with so much adoration and hope that Arizona gave her one of her super magic smiles.

Before turning to Callie she looked at Meredith in the eyes and softly said "I am sorry to do this and I hope you can forgive me but please don't hate me anymore then you already do."

Meredith took her hand and gave it a squeeze and said just as softly "I don't hate you Zona."

That was all the encouragement Arizona needed, without letting go of Meredith's hand she turned to look straight into Callie's eyes. Arizona's eyes held so much fury and fire that if it were possible the entire building would have been in flames by now.

When she finally spoke her voice was so dangerous that it could rip out a person's soul.

"Torres, Sloan, I have more right and authority then either of you can even imagine. First I am the lead Director of this hospital because I hold the majority of the shares and second and most important of all is the I am Meredith's SISTER and I will not tolerate anyone causing her more hurt and pain and stress than she is already in. You may be the best friend but I am her FAMILY and so is Lexi so you are the one that needs to run away and hide because you have now put your fucking career on the line by cross me. I will sue you for everything you have Dr. Torres because you cause my sister to go into cardiac arrest and then you came in here a second time and nearly caused the same thing to occur again. You think I was a cold hearted bitch before, you will see the Devil In me now that you have crossed the line by endangering my sister's health. And until further investigations are completed I am suspending you. And YOU have no say in this decision as my position overrides everyone else's in this hospital" She turned towards Mark and said "As for you Dr. Sloan, I am suspending you as well for your man-whorish ways. You have been cheating and sleeping around with every nurse and drug rep in the hospital and having an affair with Dr. Torres behind Lexi's back which I will not tolerate any longer." She felt Meredith squeezed her hand and turned to look at her.

Meredith tugged on her arm a little so she bent down to hear what Meredith wanted to say. "Can you get Lexi in here please, Zona" she said softly with a smile.

Arizona just smile and straightened up and turned to called "Lexi can you come in here sweetie?" she said sweetly

Lexi walked in with tears in her eyes. As she crossed the threshold of the room Mark moved to grab her wrist but Arizona saw the movement and said dangerously "You lay a finger on her Sloan and I will rib you to shreds" this cause Mark to drop his hand and Lexi walked quickly over to Arizona and Meredith. Arizona pulled her in her arms and hugged her tightly "Hush little one I am here now. I've got you" She let go of both Lexi and Meredith's hand and told Lexi to sit on the bed next to Meredith while she finished this up. Meredith grabbed on to Lexi's hand and the both smile at each other

Arizona address everyone now "This show is over people better get back to work. Chief if you will please process my orders to the HR department and get a hold of My lawyer cause another show is going to air soon and two Doctors just became shark bait." She turned to Cristina and asked "Is it shark bait or Dog food I am uncertain?"

Cristina just laughed and so did everyone else minus Torres and Sloan and said" Whatever you say this shit just hit the fan and you made the rain turn to Ice. Fucking hell roller girl you just shot this thing out of the park."

"I'm confused what are you two talking about?" asked Sandra while everyone that knows Cristina and Arizona just laughed at the inside joke that they all had once shared which seemed to be a long time ago in another life.

"Nothing you need to worry your pretty head about Chief just do as I have asked please" Arizona said sweetly with a wink. Making Sandra blush. Arizona turned to Torres and Sloan who were now standing together both stunned and speechless. Her voice instantly turned Icy "You two follow the chief and hand in your ID's and all that. All your hospital access will be revoked. You are to leave the hospital premises as soon as the Chief and HR are done with you. Everyone you are dismissed get back to work. Drs. Montgomery, both Shephard's and Yang please stay back and chief hurry this along and come back here as well" as she was turning around Callie spoke

"You are making a huge mistake Arizona. You do realize I'm also part of the board and also by doing this you will lose Sophia?"

"Actually Dr. Torres I did not make myself clear. You may be part of the board but I OWN this hospital. Read your contract you will see I have every right to do this because from where I am standing even though I don't need it, I have the support of the majority of the board. Isn't that right Yang, Shepard, and Grey?"

"Yes" they all said in union

"And as for Sophia. We will see who loses her. You messed with the wrong person Torres. No One messes with my family and gets away with it. You may think you know me but I assure you. You do not have a clue as who I really am. Sandra please take them away and get the guards to escort them of the hospital premises" Arizona said calmly

"Yes dear" Sandra Replied and ushered both Torres and Sloan away. Bailey and Webber followed them and everyone else went back to work.

Arizona turned to her sister and half-sister and said over her shoulder

"Derek, please close and lock the door. And everyone sit down. We have much to talk about." Derek did as he was told and so did everyone else.

"Let's not get into the heavy stuff just yet. We need to wait for Sandra. For now let's get Meredith to relax and take a moment to rest. Lexi please push the medicine pump so our sister can be relieved of her pain." Arizona said in a soft warm tone and ran her hand over Meredith's forehead and brushed some of her hair out of her face, which melted everyone's heart and made the two sister swoon at the care that Arizona was showing Meredith.

Woah! I know I want over board here but I love seeing Badass AZ. I have a few surprises that will come in the next few chapters. Let's see where this goes.

What do you think will happen next?

What do you suggest should happen?

Ideas would be much appreciated.
