Year Four cont.

Callie's POV

I held Arizona as she cried. I don't know why, but I couldn't bring myself to cry. It seemed like if I did, it wouldn't make Addy better, if there was anything wrong. Duh Callie, your daughter is hooked up to a machine and no one can tell what's wrong, something is wrong!

I sat there with Arizona until Shepard and Dixon came out.

"Torres, its her heart."

"Her heart?" I was shocked, what was wrong with her heart?

"MVP, mitral valve pro lapse" He said, I jumped in at pro lapse.

"Shit! Hoe's I miss that? They always check her heart at doctor appointments. How'd she even get it?" Now Arizona was sobbing harder. Shepard and Dixon looked puzzled at the mess that was my wife.

"I think she has something she wants to tell us." I said, making way for Arizona to come up to the doctors and explain.

"I… I have MVP." She shot out.

I looked at her , I'd never known this.

"Since when?" Since they knew about it at age 12."

"You never complained about pain or anything." I said, worried.

"It doesn't bother me, only when I'm in A LOT of stress, and I mean a lot." She said, wiping her eyes.

"So what can we do?" I directed my question to Dixon.

"Not much. Watch her. Goes well, no problem, not well, bring her back." She said and then left. Shepard patted me on the back and told me I could go in and see her now. She was better. Shepard, I knew had some sympathy, he had Claire and he knew that it would permanently break Meredith if anything happened to her. Claire and Addy played together at the daycare center, they are the same age and all.

We go into Addy's room and she is animatedly talking to Mark about who knows what. Arizona squeezes my hand and I squeeze back.

"Momma, why are you crying?" Addy asked, her eyes growing wide with worry.

"I was crying 'cause I love you and if you ever scare me again, well I'll be out of tears." She said, leaning into me. I wrapped my arms around her neck and kissed her head and we hopped up on the bed with Addy.
