hey :) have a nice Sunday!

ps: summer has ended :(

Chapter 10

"Kid, wait! You need to know something before going in" he shouted sprinting towards the woman who just had rung the doorbell.

"What?!" she asked turning her back on the door, but before hearing her brother's response a low hungry voice forced her to turn again.

"Callie, I've got a surprise for you" a red lace lingerie dressed woman stood in all her glory on the other side of the door.

"ADDISON?! WHAT THE FUCK?!"

And as fate had planned, Callie's black Range Rover pulled into the driveway successfully hitting the empty dumpsters which were previously neatly arranged in front of the garage,"guess Arizona isn't the only one surprised" Tim thought, a laugh escaping his mouth." Time to rumble..."

Tim saw in slow motion the almost comical scene unfold before his eyes, startled by the sound of Callie's vehicle crash into the dumpsters, Arizona's head quickly turned towards the commotion…but this wasn't the time to assess paint scratches, so she proceeded to redirect her attention to the more pressing situation, that being Addison, Callie's trustworthy friend Addison, dressed skimpily and obviously waiting for a booty call. Without giving it a second thought, and taking advantage that Callie was still struggling to get out of the car, Arizona launched herself at the unsuspecting red head straddling her, firmly planting one hand in the other woman's mane as the other was preparing to strike.

Addison was surprised by the burst of energy the petite blonde was currently displaying and was rendered motionless, a moan escaping her mouth when Arizona's hand started to pull on her hair. Thinking this was absolutely insane, and that the army kid was totally going to whip her ass if she didn't react fast enough, the red head turned her body and grabbed the blonde's ready-to-give-her-a-blue-eye-hand and sunk her teeth in, the feral action earning a loud scream from Arizona, her other hand letting go of the hair she was previously holding.

When Callie finally managed to get in the house she almost laughed at the image of Addison and Arizona circling each other like they were preparing to spare or to fight to death in a Gladiator arena, and if she wasn't so mad at the blonde, her disheveled appearance and her dark angry eyes would make her insanely hot and bothered. Deciding it was time to end this charade, Callie picked up an unsuspecting Arizona and started to carry her towards the nearest room as far as possible from the very pissed of Addison. But things weren't going to be easy, as the red head began to speak:

"Oh…you're not so tough now, are you? You lying, cheating…BLONDE" she spat, not so sure about the last choice of words.

"Suuure, you're the one to talk . You screwed McDreamy, after that McSteamy, then McDreamy again, only to return to McSteamy and now you got your filthy hands on MY WIFE! She's McMINE!" Arizona shouted breaking free from Callie's grasp and managing to finally punch the other woman, the cracking familiar sound of bone on bone being like a breath of fresh air she had been in desperate need of ever since seeing…RED before her eyes.

Both Tim and Callie were shocked by the outburst, yeah Arizona was fierce when it came to protecting the ones she loved, but she wasn't a violent person, she didn't recklessly punch people endangering both the other person's health and also her cutting hand… something had triggered her. Wasting no more time, Callie grasped her wife from the unconscious woman and successfully pulled her into the guestroom, locking the door preventing the bothered woman to have another go. Arizona put up a good fight violently trashing her arms and letting out loud groans of frustration at being held away from the object of her current rage, but Callie wasn't going to take it, the blonde didn't have the right to act this way, she lost it a long time ago, so there were 2 options to stop her:

" kiss or slap?kiss or slap?" Callie mentally pondered, her heart screaming kiss but her..oh hell, her mind screamed the same damn she did the best thing for herself…SMACK and then KISS.

Arizona felt Callie pulling her from Addison, she wasn't going to give up that easily, but fighting your way out of a orthopedic surgeon's arms proved to be a little difficult the second time around. Needless to say,as she found herself locked in a room with her wife currently glaring at her, she continued to scream and kick only to find herself being silenced by two simple gestures.

The first one was a fierce slap, the power of the blow wasn't significant, but what hurt the most was Callie's tear stricken face, her eyes were almost pouring out months of pain and loneliness. The second act was a violent thug forward followed by what Arizona thought to be the most passionate kiss they had ever shared, it was slow, it was hungry…it was perfect, making her see stars as Callie's scent caressed her senses. Arizona was in heaven for the most part of it, thinking that maybe this was the way things were meant to be, they would stray from each other and then reunite, but then she remembered this feeling of urgency, of slow burning passion and quickly acknowledged that this wasn't a "hello" kiss, it was a…"I hate how much I love you" message, it was a gesture of goodbye. Extracting herself from the powerful grasp, she sighed, carefully choosing her words.

"I'm sorry, Calliope"

"For what? Lauren or you coming here and acting like a complete violent idiot?" Callie finally opened her eyes, the reality of the situation dawning on her.

"Lauren's not a problem anymore…"

"But she was, she existed during our marriage…"

"I…I couldn't go to Spain with her…"

"SPAIN?!SPAIN?! You wanted to fulfill that dream with HER?! After years of planning to go there together, you almost went there with that SLUT?!" the brunette's shouts reverberated in the small room.

"And what? You got cold feet and she dumped your sorry ass? Cool, that's so cool, Arizona. And let me guess your logic, now you've returned to your second choice, to your 3rd wheel? Or rather 3rd and 4th wheel to your happiness, that is if we include Sophia. That just fucking PEACHY!"

"CALLIOPE!JUST STOP! YOU AREN'T HEARING ME…YOU THINK YOU KNOW, BUT YOU DON'T! I've made mistakes, I am totally responsible for that, but I can't go on living a lie. You are it for me, you've been that since day one, but I was too stubborn to admit that, to admit that I need you so much, that I would die if I couldn't have you! Lauren was a huge mistake, GOD, I feel like those middle aged balding men who suddenly cheat on their wives and buy red sport cars. But that's exactly what happened! I was lost after the crash, I wasn't myself and I couldn't give you that broken version of Arizona Robbins, I guess I checked out and I only existed, I only truly live when I'm with you and Sophia…please believe that" she pleaded her case.

"I would have melted at those exact words 6 months ago…but I've changed too. Now I'm the one who's checked out. Don't you see? I'm sleeping with Addison for fuck's sake…I'm broken. You made me love you and then you burnt it all into the ground, but you didn't just take away my love for you,oh NO NO, you took all the romantic love I was capable of. Sophia is the most important person in my life, she is the only person I will love until the day I die because she's mine…the rest, George ,Erica, but most of all YOU,are nothing to me…" Callie sobbed her eyes piercing into Arizona's.

"I wish…I wish I had never met you…" Callie said with a sense of finality, hoping these words would crush Arizona's hopes forever. Even though it hurt like hell to say them, even though she was the world's biggest liar right now, she couldn't stop herself, nor could she forget the past months.

Arizona was currently in limbo, her wife's words were cutting deep into her soul, but there was also the dull familiar pain residing in her head, pushing through she managed to say:

"Well, in that case, I wish you had never met me too" and as she finished she felt something rather warm liquid pouring from her nose.

"YOU'RE BLEEDING!" Callie yelled rushing to her, but Arizona was already in a different world, incapable of hearing the feverish "I love you whispers" her wife was croaking, the sickening vertigo provoking yet another blackout. As usual Tim was there once again, holding her tight, a weird smiled plastered on his face :

"I really hoped you'd say that, kid. You're making progress…ready for number 3?"

Chapter 11- preview

Arizona woke up to the distinct smell of hospital, her body hurt as if she were the victim of a stampede accident, trying to get up, a searing pain shot through her back, irradiating to her anterior chest wall. She was having trouble breathing and once she calmed down a bit the doctor in her could distinctly hear the ragged murmur of a heart problem…

"What the hell have I got myself into now?!" she screamed, successfully getting up into a more comfortable sitting position, her breathing improving significantly.

"Oh hey, you're up" a ginger intern, whose head had just popped into the room, exclaimed with sickening excitement." I'll go get the cardio surgeon"

Utterly confused, Arizona didn't have the chance to respond, because the next minute, the bubbly girl was gone. Trying to replay her last memories in her head, she failed to notice the arrival of the surgeon and was startled by the words the woman directed towards her:

"Hello, I'm dr. Callie Torres, your heart surgeon. Your fiancée told me your condition had worsened lately and that you've experiencing some seizures"

"I…Fiancée ? You…Callie? I…Arizona" that's all she managed to say, mentally slapping herself for the "classy" response, not before hearing Tim's genuinely amused laughter filling the room, his strategic placement on the window sash made him have a great view on all the things happening…to him apparently they were funny ones. "Too bad I'm the only one capable of hearing and seeing him…" she thought," Maybe that's because I'M BATSHIT CRAZY!" she continued to berate herself. But a hand placed on her face brought her back as a familiar face came into view.

"Hey ,baby. I'm glad you woke up. I just went to the cafeteria. How's it looking dr. Torres"

"COLLEEN?!MY FIANCEE" Arizona shouted shocked, finally realizing that the "I wish I had never meant you scenario" was actually coming into play.

Callie shot both of the women a strange look, something was definitely up with her patient, which, on a more not so professional note was absolutely gorgeous, blue eyes, cute dimples, long wavy blonde hair, the whole deal…"okay, snap out of it before you start drooling" she mentally yelled before speaking again.

"So far, so good, but Colleen, did she hit her head when she experienced the seizure?"

Arizona groaned grabbing a pillow and stuffing her face on it…this was going to be a hell of a challenge, with her luck Callie was probably already married with children, and also very straight, not to mention that Colleen was probably the most caring person in the world. She was going to have to be "the jackass" to get her answers and her happy ending.

"You've got this, kid. Piece of cake" Tim chirped at his sister,being rewarded with yet another groan.
