Her eyes opened slowly, the lights in the room were bright and made her eyes water lifting her arms to cover her eyes she found that they were restrained. Looking down Arizona saw her legs and arms restrained, what happened? All Arizona could remember was yelling at Alex and hitting him because he was the one with the saw that took her leg, and she remembered that Callie pinned her against the wall and that is when it went hazy. Taking in the room once her eyesight adjusted,she saw that the room had been cleared of chairs; it had been cleared of everything she didn't recognize this room, it was not set up like the usual hospital rooms before Arizona could think further though she heard Callie.
"She will not be in here!" Callie started yelling, Arizona turned her head towards the door hoping to see Callie through the window.
"Callie, she came in and started to attack Karev she was out of control there is no other option!" Owen replied with a strong tone of his own, Arizona listened she wasn't out of control, or was she?
"I don't give a damn what you are saying, Owen! That is my wife, my wife and she is not going to be strapped to a bed like she is a crazy person!" Callie's voice rose and that is when the door swung open, their eyes met as Callie walked over and started undoing the straps.
"Calliope…" Arizona whispered causing Callie to fumble at what she was doing, their eyes locked again.
"I am taking you home we will figure something out together; I am not leaving you here." Callie whispered before she continued undoing the restraints, once undone Callie took Arizona's prosthetic and handed it to her. Arizona looked at it and shook her head; her body was exhausted as was her mind. Callie kneeled down and started putting the prosthetic on Arizona, this was a first and Callie didn't want to do or say anything to scare the broken woman in front of her.
Leaving the hospital Arizona noticed everyone staring at her but this time the thought of them looking at her because of her one leg wasn't on her mind, no it was the fact that she had been sedated and tossed up into psych she felt herself grasp Callie's hand tighter. Looking up Arizona saw the steely determination in Callie's eyes and in that moment her thoughts of losing her leg were gone because in that moment as she watched Callie give glares to anyone that looked at her wrong she fell in love; she fell in love all over again.
Once back at the apartment Callie put Sofia into bed then went into the kitchen where she grabbed an ice pack and bottles of water, without even thinking Callie started taking the leg off of Arizona when realization hit Callie she stopped.
"I'm sorry I should have asked first, I just know you are in pain and…I'm sorry." Callie froze and started moving her hands away but Arizona took ahold of them and put them back where they were a second ago.
"It's okay." Arizona whispered and nodded; Callie nodded back and started finishing what she had started.
Callie gently removed the leg and leaned it against the loveseat, taking the ice pack she started to gently tie it to Arizona's thigh but as she started Arizona took her hands again.
"Could you massage it for me before the ice pack?" Arizona asked as her eyes pleaded, Callie smiled and removed the ice pack and started massaging the thigh. "Thank you." Arizona whispered.
"Anytime." Callie replied and gently smiled at Arizona who returned with a small smile as well.
As Callie massaged her thigh Arizona felt the knots dissipate and the tension in her muscles ease away, Callie always had good hands, smirking at that thought Arizona smiled brighter at Callie. How could she have torn her family apart? That answer she did know she kept herself closed off, the whole time Callie was here to do what she is doing now. Looking down Arizona didn't see disgust on Callie's face, how could she think her wife who stuck by her didn't find her attractive.
Slowly Arizona moved a hand to Callie's cheek, cupping it gently she brought Callie's face up so their eyes met. Slowly Arizona leaned down; stopping an inch away from Callie she made sure to give Callie the choice to turn away. When Callie didn't show hesitation both of them closed the distance, their lips touched the others gently. It wasn't steamy or passionate it was loving and tender; it was like their first kiss. They didn't increase the pressure or fall onto the floor in a heap of limbs; no they just kissed the other one. Gently breaking the kiss they rested their foreheads against the others and looked into the other ones eyes.
"I don't expect forgiveness, I don't deserve it but what I do ask is try because I can't not try to be with you I am so very sorry for the things I have done and I promise I will try to do everything I can to open up more. We can have boundaries and rules, and I can every night for twenty minutes or an hour or however long you want I will talk no matter what it is I will talk. I once asked, no begged you not to run when I should have begged you to not let me run so please Callie don't let me run again even if you have to tackle me don't let me run because I don't want to." Arizona cried, Callie wrapped her arms around Arizona and pulled her tightly into a hug.
"I promised I wouldn't run and I promise you now I won't but I will also promise that I won't let you run, we are going to figure something out we will find a way for this to work. I don't trust you yet but I love you, we love each other and we will figure this out no matter how weak and broken we get I will fight." Callie replied as tears dripped from her eyes.
"And I will fight too." Arizona whispered back with tears of her own, silence filling the air.
"With your girly hands, please." Callie chuckled causing Arizona to start chuckling as well, pulling apart slightly they looked at the other and laughed, Callie smiled at Arizona who smiled back. It was going to be rough because let's face it when something is weak and broken it is hard to make it strong and durable but that is why you try and you fight, for Callie and Arizona their relationship was just like that weak and broken but they were going to try for the first time in their relationship they were actually going to try and face their demons.
