Chapter seven : I'm sorry

Later, Callie comes back home. She directly goes in the room where Arizona is resting, a bit worried for her girlfriend. All the afternoon she wondered why Arizona was so upset about that Joy, why she cares so much for that girl she doesn't know. She also has some news to tell her and the situation complicates things a little.

"how are you?" simply asks Callie

"I'm fine, I'm fine" quickly replies Arizona, obviously repeating over and over what she really has to tell to her girlfriend. Then she adds, "look, I have to talk to you"

Callie starts to get really worried at that point, she can't even control herself. She knew her girlfriend hasn't been herself lately, she didn't want to think about it, but, she was worried that she'd done something wrong. Not that she believe that Arizona was able to do such a thing, but still, a part of her couldn't help but to be scared about it. At that moment the news that she had to give her girlfriend came back in her mind.

"Look, honey, I also have to talk to you" Callie adds.

Arizona looks at her girlfriend with concern, and when she's about to talk, Callie cuts her off, "Don't worry it's nothing major, it's just something that involves you, I…" Callie stops as the looks of her girlfriend keep showing her more and more worries.

Arizona looks down, and almost whispers "I did something wrong"

Callie couldn't hold on all the worries inside her, "did you kill someone on purpose? Did you cheat on me?..." She was going to continue but Arizona stops her prior and yells "No" that cause both women to look at each other, "I would never ever do such a thing." Arizona adds more slowly.

"I…" then Arizona look down again.

Callie couldn't understand the sad look of her girlfriend, she come closer to her cupping her face. "What's wrong?" she asks, encouraging her to go ahead.

"I signed a paper to be Joy's legal tutor"

"What?" exclaims Callie with surprise. But it wasn't a bad feeling, it was relief, she thought her girlfriend really did something wrong, instead, she just helped a lost teenager. She even felt a little bad not being able to trust her girlfriend. Arizona, in her side, is trying to find something to say, panic invading her. But before she could find anything to say that makes sense, Callie is already speaking.

"No, it's fine, I'm totally cool with it" Callie reassures her, "don't take my reaction the wrong way, I really thought you did something wrong and when you said..." she pauses for a while trying to find the right words, "It was a relief, but you know, I like the kid, she's awesome. And I don't know why, but I know you feel close to her, it's ok. Really"

Arizona looks at her girlfriend confused, "really?"

"Really!"

"Thank you" she breaths before hugging her girlfriend.

"I also have something to tell you, and I'm not very proud but" Arizona is going to interrupt her, but Callie put her hand up to show that she should let her finish. "Christina asked me if she could leave the place. I mean, make the flat, just ours. And I said yes because I was so excited that we could have the place just for us. And I'm sorry because I know I should have come to you and asked you about it, and I don't know about the rent and everything if you'll be ok. I was going to tell you, but you were sick and I was worried…" Callie is talking really fast, but Arizona stops her "stop talking" she whispers to her, coming even closer, then kissing her softly on the lips. "I actually love the idea of me and you alone here" she whispers in Callie's ear.

"You do? You're not mad?"

"Why would I be, for you wanting to be alone with me, how could I get mad?" she says, giving her a reassuring smile.

Callie kisses Arizona again, before pulling apart and tells her that she will have to go see Christina the morning after, and Arizona answers telling Callie that she'll have to go and see Joy as well.

They finally fall asleep after a tough day.

Arizona is now dreaming, but it's not a real dream, it's actually more of a flashback. It was during her first year of residency, she was under Dr Rosery's responsibility this night.

"We've got a major car accident, four people are involved, two adults, two kids. The parents are severely injured as well as the older kid. The little girl is in shock state. Arizona you take care of her." Doctor Rosery says in a very directive way. Arizona is not so happy that she will probably not assist a surgery tonight, but happy in way that she might help a little girl.

The ambulances finally arrive.

An ambulance man drop off the truck a little girl, obviously extremely scared, hard-breathing, "seven years old, she's having a panic attack, we don't know her name" he states before leaving to help his colleague with the other patients.

Arizona finds her way to the little girl, "hi, I'm doctor Robbins, breathe, it's goanna be good, we're going to try everything we can" she says, but the little girl doesn't look at her, her gaze stay still, her eyes wide open, so that Arizona doesn't even know if the girl heard her or listened to her. She finally hugs the little girl, trying to make her feel better. She feels the girl's breathing getting a little slower and realize that it worked a little.

She ushers the girl inside the building and help her sit down on a high chair.

"So, Can you tell me your name?" Arizona asks lightly. But the girl doesn't move, her gaze still lost in her mind.

Suddenly a stretcher carrying a woman stops in front of us. The woman turns her head and her gaze finds the one of her daughter. And then addressing herself to Arizona she cries "this is my little girl, please you have to protect her, from our family. This wasn't an accident! Please take care of her, you'll be great, you'll be her mom. It's her eighth birthday in two days…"

Then she is moved to the OR. Arizona is still trying to figure out all that she has just heard, it's too much information at the same time for her to take in.

She tried to reassure the little girl that is starting to panic again. She hugs her tight, to make her feel safe and it works. Fifteen minutes later, the little girl was quiet and calm, almost falling asleep.

"okay sweetheart, you'll be ok, I promise. What's your name?" Arizona asks in a whisper.

And for the first time the little girl answers, looking straight in Arizona's eyes. "I can't remember, I can't remember anything" she stammers, obviously worried about that.

Arizona worries a bit, maybe she have a trauma, I hope it's not too bad.

"I'm goanna run some test to see if everything is alright, okay?"

The little girl simply nods, then delicately puts her head on Arizona's shoulder, closing her eyes, obviously wanting to sleep. At first, Arizona liked the feeling of this little girl in her arms, as if it was her child. But then she quickly realized that she should not fall asleep, if indeed she has a bad trauma. She moves her, getting the little girl to look at her again, but this time she didn't see worries or pain in her eyes, but gratefulness and little bit of surprise. The little girl wonders why she couldn't sleep.

As if Arizona read her mind, she just informs her that she can't sleep until they know for sure that there is not some internal bleeding that could damage her brain.

Then Arizona gets the little girl to walk to the IR.

Later, Dr Rosery comes back with the result of the test, giving them to Arizona. She takes a close look at it.

"Dr Rosery, the results of the test are clean, there's nothing wrong, but she still doesn't remember" she states.

Dr Rosery nods, agreeing with what said his intern, then he questions her, "what do you think it is?"

"Maybe it's the state of shock, it could come back anytime, or it's something else." She answers, knowing she is right

"Exactly, but I think it's come back, just wait." Then he adds, "choose a name."

Arizona looks at Dr Rosery, with surprise, wondering why he would ask her something like that. "um… wh.." she starts, but is quickly cut off by Dr Rosery explanations. "She doesn't have a name, pick one"

"oh" then she stops, not knowing if it is really her place to decide such a thing, she looks at the serious face of the doctor in front of her, and choose not to argue about that. "well Joy is my favorite first name." she answers shyly.

"Joy it is" he replies with a smile. "Write it on the folder and put your last name or anything you want instead of hers."

She takes the folder, hesitates for a moment then writes, 'Joy Arizona'

The dreams jump to the scene where Arizona gives the little plastic stars bracelet to the little girl.

"You keep it as long as you don't want to forget about me" she warns the now-named-Joy girl.

The little girl give Arizona a smile, which is a way of thanking her for the bracelet, then as Arizona's words hit her, her smile fades out. "You won't leave alone, will you?" she asks concerned

At that question, the words of the little girl's mom come back in her mind.

"I'm not going anywhere, I promise" she tells her sincerely, determined that she will keep Joy as hers.

Right at this moment Dr Rosery decides to intervene.

"Dr Robbins, you have to bring her to the social services."

"But I promised her mom that…" she start, a bit hopeless.

"I know, but you have your residency to care about, and you can't have a child to take care while doing your residency, so you bring her there or I'll do it." He says, a bit too coldly for Arizona's liking.

He does have a point though, she wouldn't be able to give the little girl a decent life while being a surgeon resident.

So she decided to bring her to the social services, even if it is the last thing that she wants to do. Two men are waiting for her, well, Joy. Prior to letting her go, she hugs her tight and whispers in her ear "I'll come back, I promise"

"Don't let them take me!" the little girl replies, on the verge of crying

"I'm sorry" Arizona says, already wiping the tears that are falling down on her cheeks, stunned, feeling horrible. She watches the girl leave. The little girl keep turning around to watch Arizona, but the social worker guys keep pushing her out of Arizona's sight.

Arizona didn't stop repeating I'm sorry.

She wakes up, whispering I'm sorry to herself.
