"You just left for Africa and never looked back!"

"I did not just walk away Calliope! I had a job to do, I had the Carter Madison grant"

"Well I hope you had fun curing every little African child you could find"

"I didn't enjoy it because I missed you every second of everyday"

"Then why did it take you so long to come back? It's been almost nine months"

"I wanted to come home the second I stepped foot in Africa but I needed to help those kids. I couldn't just walk away from them"

"At least that's one thing; you didn't bail on them like you did with me"

"You caused this" Mark sighed as she stood beside Lauren at the nurses' station. Lauren and Teddy had already been listening to Callie and Arizona scream at each other for the last ten minutes before Mark joined them. As soon as Callie had come out of surgery, the news of Arizona's arrival got to her and all hell broke loose. Finding her ex-girlfriend in the conference room, Callie slammed the door and confronted Arizona.

"Do you think I like having these two scream at each other? Arizona is staying with me; I'll hear it all night" Lauren snapped lightly and crossed her arms "I thought they would at least be civil"

"You really don't know Torres then" Teddy chuckled nudging Lauren jokingly "Neither Callie or Arizona are quite as placid as you and I"

"It's a lesbian thing" Mark piped up. Lauren and Teddy stared at him in shock at his comment. That was a little discriminatory but coming from Mark it would have been a joke. "If I get no sleep because Torres rants all night, you will pay Lauren Shepherd"

"Trust me; I'll be feeling your pain"

"Oh I doubt it. Robbins isn't as bad as Callie"

The three Attendings continued to listen in on Callie and Arizona's argument. They could have been across the hospital and still have heard them they were screaming so loud. Mark wasn't wrong about Callie overdramatising everything.

"Lauren?" Alex asked as he walked up to where Lauren, Mark and Teddy were standing "Your sextuplets have just been admitted"

"Time to break up World War Three" she chuckled and took the chart from Alex. Taking a deep breath, she looked back at Mark and Teddy before making her way to the door of the conference room. Knocking softly, there was no change in the volume of the yelling so she had to knock once again.

"What?" Callie snapped once she opened the door. Sighing loudly, Lauren wasn't exactly in her good books at that moment.

"The sextuplets just came in"

"Ok" Arizona nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes as she picked up her lab coat. Following Lauren to the door, she looked back at Callie who didn't seem to care anymore.

Lauren gave Mark a look as if to say 'talk to Callie NOW!' before joining Alex as they walked toward the elevator. The three Paeds surgeons were silent until they stepped into the elevator. Arizona burst into tears and collapsed into Lauren who simply wrapped her arms around her friend. Pulling the emergency stop button, Alex watched his wife hold Arizona til she had calmed down.

Arizona straightened up and wiped her face once again. Alex pushed the emergency stop button and braced himself as the elevator jerked back into movement. Rubbing Arizona's shoulder, Lauren silently reassured her that everything would be ok.

"Thank you. Both of you" Arizona smiled weakly

"Let's just be thankful none of these kids have orthopaedic problems" Alex chuckled trying to lighten the mood. Hitting her husband with the chart in her hand, Lauren couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Good call Karev"

"I know"

"Still as arrogant as the day we met Alex" Arizona laughed as the elevator door opened to their Paeds floor and they walked to the large room where their six little patients were waiting.

"Arizona, Lauren" Olivia Jameson gasped and pulled the two Attendings into a tight hug. Returning the hug, they weren't as happy to see the mother of six as she was to see them. "I can't believe you two came together again just for us"

"Why wouldn't we? We successfully delivered these gorgeous children, we're going to see them grow up" Arizona smiled and saw the two girls and four boys sitting on the hospital bed in front of them. The six year olds all had beautiful blonde hair and were dressed in their mother's favourite colour, red. Olivia had been dressing them in red since the day they were born.

"This cannot be the famous Jameson sextuplets" Lauren chuckled and made her way over to the bed and looked at how much they had grown since the last photo Olivia had sent. Every year on their birthday, Olivia and Matt took a photo of their sextuplets and sent copies to Arizona, Lauren, Addison and the nurses that helped in the delivery. It was a miracle that all six babies, premature by 4 weeks, were all healthy at birth. The two girls both wore glasses but their parents never considered that an illness. Lauren kept her photos of the sextuplets I her locker no matter which hospital she was working in to remind her of the little miracles in life.

"Olivia, Matt this is Dr Alex Karev, he will be assisting Lauren and I on your daughters' cases" Arizona smiled as she noticed Alex's confused expression. He was doing his best just trying to figure out which sextuplet was which. Standing beside him, she watched him look down at the chart and back up at the children.

"It's nice to meet you" Matt smiled and shook Alex's hand. They needed all the help they could get to get through this. Lauren took the chart from Alex once she saw Matt's face and snapped back to reality. It broke her heart to see the parents of six children who were miraculously born healthy but were now sick. "Our doctor back in New York says the girls have Autosom...Polycyst... I can't pronounce it"

"Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease" Lauren helped him as she opened the chart "It means there are cysts forming in their kidneys and it is causing scarring on the liver"

"You're doing a domino transplant on these kids?" Alex asked Lauren and Arizona after they had explained to the Jameson family what needed to be done to help their children. Their two girls were very sick and needed the help of their four brothers to survive. Both girls needed a kidney and liver transplant and would get these organs from their brothers. Two would donate a kidney and two would donate portions of their liver's.

"In a way it is a domino surgery" Arizona chuckled and started writing up her notes on the case. It was a good feeling to be back in surgery helping save kids lives instead of trying to talk to Callie.

"Would you like to start the receiver surgery while Arizona and I take the donor organs from the brothers?" Lauren asked knowing the opportunity to do this kind of surgery would brighten his attitude.

"You're letting me start the receiver surgery?"

"It pays to sleep with the boss" Arizona giggled nudging Lauren "Don't worry boss, you're not my type"

"Thank God" Alex chuckled

"Jealous much?"

"I love this; my best friend and my husband are fighting over me. I feel so loved" Lauren smirked and took the chart from Arizona was finished writing notes "I have a few kids up in oncology to check on but you two can keep fighting all you like" she laughed and walked away from Alex and Arizona.

"She's my wife. Husband trumps best friend" Alex chuckled turning to Arizona

"I've known her longer..." Arizona rebutted

"I know her better"

"I beg to differ"

"You can't give her sex" he shot quickly and won the fight there and then.
