Callie's POV
I awake the next morning and she is still in my arms. I feel completely rested and I can't remember the last time I slept so well. I check the time and its 9am, Arizona is still fast asleep and I don't want to wake her. I kiss the back of her head and slowly get out of bed being careful not to wake her. I quietly get dressed and head to the kitchen. I decide to go collect her gear from the locker-room and I leave a note just in case she wakes up and is wondering where I am. I collect her stuff and I pick up some breakfast too and I am back to her in less than an hour. She is still asleep. I sit on the bed by her and watch her sleep for a few minutes. She is so beautiful. I take her hand and slowly begin stroking it to try and slowly easy her from her slumber. Her eyes flutter open, big blue eyes stare at me. 'Hey, how are you feeling' I ask. She yawns, 'Crap that hurt, I totally forgot about my stupid ribs' she says, 'Im ok, I guess, any update on Teddy? 'I called this morning and she is as well as can be expected. Visiting hours are from 5 so you can go see her then. I brought you some breakfast, juice, coffee and a croissant...and, I went and collected your clothes and stuff' I tell her. 'You are amazing, what would I do without you' she say sincerely.
Arizona's POV
I sit up in the bed and she passes me a croissant and some juice. 'This is becoming a trend, you feeding me food while I am injured in bed' I joke. 'Well, I quite enjoy it, except for the you being injured part' she flirts back. I laugh but have to stop again because of the pain. 'Im going to get you some painkillers, you are going to be really sore for a few days' she gets up and heads to the kitchen and I begin to think that I may have been too rash in my judgements about her. She is kind and compassionate and has been nothing but honourable towards me. Whereas I have been nothing but trouble for her. I should give her a chance, I should give us a chance but I'm not too sure she will want to get involved with me considering the train-wreck that is my life has been since I arrived here. I quickly get changed and check my phone, 20 missed calls and 16 messages, I don't even know where to begin to deal with that. I head into the kitchen and she is sitting on a stool, looking pensive. 'Hey, um, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind dropping me back to my apartment, I think I have taken up enough of your time' I really don't want to leave but I don't want to suffocate her and she has already done too much. 'No problem' she replies and grabs her keys.
Callie's POV
We arrive to her apartment and I insist on carrying her stuff up for her. I put them in her room and return to the kitchen area. She has just taken her painkillers and offers me a coffee. I agree, not that I really want coffee, I just don't want to leave her. We sit down on the sofa and begin to chat 'So, what are your plans for the rest of the day' I ask her. 'Well, I think I will just relax here till it's time to go visit Teddy. Lots of bad day-time television, maybe a DVD and maybe a nap because these painkillers are making me a little drowsy' she replies. I don't want to leave her alone if she is going to be all drugged up and out of it. I head to her bedroom and return with a blanket. She looks at me 'Callie, you don't have to stay here and babysit me, I'll be fine'. I sit back and indicate for her to come join me. She sits next to me and I wrap the blanket around us. She leans into me and I wrap my arm around her. I take the remote and turn on the tv. I hold her hand and look into her eyes 'Look, its fine, I'm off today and I could do with a relaxing day. Plus, I really lik spending time with you'.
Arizona's POV
I'm all snuggled up with Callie on the couch, she has her arm wrapped around me and her other hand is resting on my knee. The painkillers have really kicked in and I feel all warm and floaty. I have no idea what is on the tv and all I can feel is her pressed against me. I slowly let myself drift off to sleep, I feel so safe in her embrace. I dream about her. All I see in my dreams is her. I can hear her voice 'Arizona, Arizona, hey you got to wake up' Wait, that's not part of my dream, she is actually trying to wake me up and I can feel her gently shaking me. I open my eyes and she is smiling at me. 'Sorry to wake you, but its 4.30 and I figured you would want me to wake you so you could go visit Teddy' Crap, I have been asleep on her for hours. I reluctantly remove myself from her and go to freshen up.
We hop back into the car and she drives me to the hospital. 'Give me your phone' she states, she programmes her number in. 'Call me when you are done and I'll pick you up, and no arguing' she smiles and I can't say no. 'See you later Calliope' I chirp as I leave the car.
