Hi All! I just wanted to give a quick update. Thank you so much for all the reviews and followings. I know some people have stated they are confused, this is a flashback and present day story. In the present, there are still flashbacks. Basically we know Arizona is hurt, but the majority of the present is how she got that way. I hope that explains it. Also, yes Erica will still be around for a little bit and there won't be another present day chapter posted until chapter 13. Sorry! Thank you again!

Shattered Chapter 8

The next morning Callie and Arizona were shamelessly flirting at a nurses station in the ER, while Bailey looked at them in disgust.

"Don't you two have someone to cut into or charts to complete?" She huffed and rolled her eyes.

"Nope! We are both working the ER this morning until our surgeries scheduled later today." Arizona said as she wheeled around the desk and plopped down in the chair. She answered the phone that was ringing and took down information on an incoming trauma. "Ok we will be waiting." She hung up and immediately began barking orders.

"Ok we have a multi-car accident coming in. At least four critical patients and one DOA. Ross, Kepner get extra bags of O-neg and chest tubes. Let's make beds available. Move all non-critical patients to the the right wing. Cmon people lets move!" Arizona barked as she, Callie, and Bailey threw on trauma gowns. Owen joined them on the docking bay as they waited for the ambulances to arrive.

As the wailing of sirens grew closer Mark and Little Grey came running out to join the other doctors. Once the back doors of the ambulances started to fly open, everyone leapt into action. Callie and Bailey were wheeling a middle aged man with a long piece of metal lodged in his chest into the ER.

"Page Cardio stat, and call up to get an OR ready!" Bailey screamed to an intern who was frozen in place staring at the rod. "Avery move your ass. NOW!" She directed as Callie tried to stabilize the metal as best she could.

"It went straight through, I can't tell what organs are compromised. Patient is conscious and stable for now." Callie advised as Erica came through the doors.

"I'll take this from here, Callie you're scrubbing in with me, let's get to OR 1 now." Erica demanded before Callie could protest. They wheeled the gurney onto the elevator and headed up to the surgical floor. When the doors had closed Erica turned to Callie.

"So does Blondie know your past with Sloan? Have you broached that sensitive subject yet?" Or Karev for that matter? You sure get around Cal." Erica snorted.

"The patient is conscious Dr. Hahn, can you at least try to be professional?" Callie shot back and gave a glaring stare. The nurse with them let out a small chuckle. "Really?" Callie glared at her as the doors opened and they pushed the gurney off the elevator.

The two doctors were scrubbing in when Erica opened her mouth yet again.

"It would be a shame for Blondie to find out about all your indiscretions from someone other than you, like say me!" Erica laughed.

Callie turned to face the blonde. "Listen Erica, first her name is Dr. Robbins to you, and there is nothing that you could tell her that is going to change what we have. Try to mess this up for me and I will have no problem taking you down. In fact I'm talking to the Chief today to see exactly how you slimed your way back in here." Callie finished scrubbing and walked into the OR.

"I shouldn't have let you go Cal, I'm not going anywhere." Erica said to herself as she wiped her arms down.

...…...

Downstairs Arizona had just called time of death on the second victim from the crash and was tearing her trauma gown off. She threw it in a bin and headed for the exit. She needed some air. She didn't want to be jealous, but she couldn't help the feeling that Erica was going to be a wedge between her and Callie. Erica wasn't standing down and it annoyed her that she could just boss Callie around at work. Erica was the head of Cardio and had seniority over her girlfriend, but it was the abuse of power she could foresee being the issue.

"Robbins, we need your help in here!" Mark barked as Arizona ran back into the ER.

After five more hours in the ER, and four in an OR performing a complicated surgery on a three year old, Arizona was exhausted. She still had not seen Callie and assumed she was still in surgery. She was headed for the on-call room on the Peads floor for some much needed sleep, when her pager beeped. She grumbled as she ripped the box from her hip. She looked at the page confused and headed for the third floor.

Arizona walked over to the nurses station and asked who had paged her. They all looked at each other, clearly not knowing what the doctor was talking about.

"No one paged you Dr. Robbins. Do you want us to call the other departments and check with them?" The confused nurse asked picking up the phone on the desk.

"No, no Lindsay that's ok. Thank you." Arizona waved and walked off in the opposite direction. Her pager went off again and as she read the page she broke into a knowing smile. She turned down the hall and headed for the second door on the right. As she opened the door she saw a body laying on the bed facing her. The light that peaked through the door fell on the most beautiful face she had ever seen. She immediately relaxed, shut and locked the door.

"Come here beautiful, leave the lights off." Callie said as she held the blankets open for the blonde. Arizona crawled into the small bed and cuddled against Callie facing her. Callie kissed her lightly and wrapped her arms around the smaller woman's neck. Arizona rested her hand on Callie's hip and kissed her back a little deeper.

"Hi baby. How was your surgery with the ice queen?" Arizona asked while yawning.

"Annoying, but amazing at the same time. We actually pulled a rod out of a mans body and he lived. Amazing." Callie said groggily. Arizona turned around and pressed her body back into Callie's front. Callie wrapped an arm around the blondes waist and puller her closer. She buried her head into the soft hair that still had a faint smell of lavender shampoo.

"You are amazing, and I will fight for you. No matter what." Arizona whispered as she heard Callie snoring lightly. She drifted off to sleep thinking of a future with Callie that didn't involve Dr. Hahn.

Two hours later, Callie jumped in the elevator just as it was about to close and groaned as she realized who occupied the space with her.

"Callie, how are you?", Erica asked sarcastically, inching closer to the curvy woman.

"Leave me alone Erica. I have nothing to say to you." Callie replied hitting the already lit floor button several times.

"How are you and Blondie doing?" Erica asked as she glanced at the brunette she used to fall asleep with, touch and kiss. She felt the blood rush to her head as she saw the dumb looking grin that spread across her ex's face at the mention of the perky blonde. "You know, your girl toy is the topic of many conversations going on around the hospital." This got Callie's attention although she didn't want the surgeon to know.

"I'm sure there are a lot of people who think my rockstar, pediatric surgeon, GIRLFRIEND is worth talking about." Callie snarled with an arched eyebrow. Erica cringed at the word girlfriend and snapped. She pushed Callie against the wall and the brunette could see the fire in her eyes. She actually felt slightly nervous with the aggression her ex was showing. She had never seen the blonde this angry.

"She's your girlfriend now! You've been dating for what, a hot minute? Are you serious Cal? What the f-" she cut herself off when she saw the fear in the Latinas eyes, and realized she had her ex by the collar of her lab coat. She was about to back away when the elevator doors opened, and Dr. Sloan rushed forward to help Callie.

"People could hear you screaming two floors up! Get your hands off her." He stood in between Callie and Erica and sternly said, "Get out!"

"They call her a slut. They say she gets around Cal. Good luck with your whore of a girlfriend! She made a pass at my OR nurse, Olivia!" Erica screamed as she turned into the face of Arizona. At the same time Callie charged at Erica, but Mark grabbed her before she could get anywhere.

"Calliope!" Arizona yelled. "Don't you dare let her get to you and jeopardize your job!"

Erica shook her head, and as she walked by Arizona she lowered her shoulder into the blonde knocking her back harshly. Arizona grabbed her shoulder in pain as everyone heard a booming voice.

"HAHN! My office, NOW!" Screamed Chief Webber as he glared at his newly hired Head of Cardio. Erica scampered off with her head down as Dr. Webber turned back to the three doctors.

"Are you ok Dr. Robbins?" The Chief asked genuinely concerned.

"Fine Sir, thank you." The blonde said grimacing at the pain in her shoulder, which didn't go unnoticed by Callie. Callie cracked her knuckles in frustration and anger. She was ready to fight.

"Well, what the hell is going on here? Why are my attendings fighting in elevators and hallways? Someone please?" He demanded.

"Um Sir, I need you for a matter concerning, um a patient. It's urgent." Bailey interrupted coming to the rescue of her two favorite lesbefriends. Chief Webber turned and looked at Bailey, while Callie mouthed thank you over his shoulder to the smaller woman.

"Ah ok Bailey." He turned back to the three attendings and simply stated, "I'll talk to the three of you later." He said pointing at each of them and walked toward Bailey. As he passed her, Bailey shook her head and glared at Callie.

When they were out of view, Callie rushed over to Arizona carefully touching her bruised shoulder.

"Are you ok? I can't believe that fucking bitch. I'm going to kill her. She pretty much attacked me in the elevator when I told her you were my girlfriend." Callie said as she rubbed Arizonas shoulder.

"Girlfriend huh? Nice Torres. Smart woman to lock down Blondie fast." Mark said and slapped Callie on the back.

"Shut up Mark!" Both women shouted in unison.

Mark held up his hands in defense and walked backward down the hall. "Your welcome for saving you from the pit bull Cal!"

"Ok Calliope, we need to talk." Arizona said as she led the brunette back into the elevator and hit the button for the Peads ward.

"I know, I know. This situation has taken a turn I never thought it would. I'm so sorry." Callie said as Arizona placed a hand on her arm.

"No Calliope, you don't apologize for her craziness, but we do need to do something about this. We can't work like this. I'll be honest, I know I stopped you from going after her, but knowing that she hurt you makes ME want to hurt her." Arizona said as she pulled Callie in for a kiss.

"Well if that's what I get for being grabbed by an ex, maybe I should let her hit me." Callie said as she kissed Arizona back.

"Ha ha Calliope. You are going to talk to the Chief though. You need to put her behavior on record, and not just what he saw today." The blonde said as she stepped off the elevator. She held the door open and eyed Callie.

"Why me?" The brunette whined.

"Because she is your ex and I have issues with authority figures." Arizona said as she winked and walked down the hall.

Callie stuck her head out of the elevator and shouted at Arizona's back. "We are definitely going to talk about that. Oh, and the fact that the hospital thinks my girlfriend is a slut!" Callie laughed at her joke.
