They entered the OR laughing, Arizona noticed Callie sitting in the gallery and winked at her. Callie smiled at her wife and winked back.
"Well I'm glad you two are having a good time," Regina said while getting ready to operate, they all put on their masks.
"Hey now we promised to not sulk during this she made us," Arizona said.
"I know it's just hard," Regina whispered.
"I know Hun, on the bright side I gave Emma a new nickname," Arizona said trying to lighten the mood up.
"Aww but I liked calling her Blondie," Regina said.
"You used that once," Emma told her.
"Yes, but I said it a lot more in my head," Regina said. Emma smirked behind her mask.
"Oh, so you think about me often," Emma winked at her while Regina started to operate, cutting into Jo while Arizona stood next to the organ box getting ready to trade the organs. Regina blushed, thankful it was hidden behind the mask.
"So what did you rename Blondie here?" Regina asked.
"Oh look at that, a second time, you're on a roll," Emma teased. Callie was in the booth laughing at the exchange.
"I named her Savior, it seemed appropriate," Arizona answered.
"And whys that?" Regina asked. "More suction," Regina ordered the nurse.
"I have my reasons," Arizona said.
"Is Arizona Robbins keeping something from me?" Regina mocked as she went back to work.
"Yes I am, but I'll tell you… in time," Arizona said.
"Wow, that is a first," Regina said.
"Technically it's a second if you count Calliope," Arizona said.
"True," Regina said with a nod, the tension was returning since there was no longer a distraction on who she was operating on.
"So, Regina I was thinking about us seeing Maleficent," Arizona said, noticing her friends discomfort.
"Yeah, that seems good." Regina agreed. "Jo has been talking about seeing that."
"Yeah that's why I suggested it, sound good to you Savior?" Arizona asked. Emma chuckled and looked at Arizona over the mask.
"You were serious about that name?" Emma asked.
"Yes, I won't call you anything but Savior from now on," Arizona said.
"It sounds good to me," Emma said with a smile, her eyes going back to Regina and watching her operate.
"Which part savior?" Regina asked and if Emma didn't have the mask on she would have seen Emma smiling.
"Both," Emma said.
"Alright, I've almost got this are you ready Arizona?" Regina asked turning serious.
"Yeah," Arizona said with a nodded, "I'm ready." Regina took the lung out and Arizona put the other one in Jo's body.
"Alright dear," Regina addressed Emma, "what do we do now?" Regina asked.
"When she's done sowing we wait for it to turn pink that way we know the body is accepting the organ," Emma answered easily.
"That's right," Regina said then looked down at the said organ. "And now we pray it works," Regina whispered. They all looked at the organ waiting for it to turn pink.
"It's taking longer than it should," Regina said, worried filled in her voice.
"Just wait a few more seconds" Emma said which somehow calmed Regina. When it finally turned pink everyone let out their breath that they had been holding.
"Alright Savior come stich her up," Arizona said.
"I don't have to…." Emma started but Arizona interrupted her.
"No, she asked for you to do it so you are going to do it," Arizona said. Emma saw how serious they were about keeping their word and went up to Jo. Emma looked at Regina who nodded and then Emma began sewing her up.
"Alright well we're done here," Regina said and walked out of the OR and washed her hands Arizona came in followed by Emma. Emma washed and left not speaking to them.
"So what happened in the short time you left?" Arizona asked Regina.
"What do you mean?" Regina asked, knowing exactly what she meant.
"You're not as flirty as you usually are," Arizona said.
"That's because I realized something," Regina said as she finished washing her hands.
"And what's that?" Arizona asked.
"That I actually like Emma," Regina whispered to her lifelong friend.
Regina thought about her feelings already for this woman. In the short time she's gotten to known this woman the more she's falling in love with her. Wait love…did I just say that, could this be love but love is weakness, God she hated her mother. Regina let out a frustrated sigh and ran her hands through her dark locks.
"Oh my God you're serious, what happened to love is weakness?" Arizona asked. "You've only known her for like a few hours," Arizona was actually thrilled this was happening.
"She's intriguing and different I… I can't explain it," Regina said. "What do I do?" Regina asked turning to her lifelong friend.
"I don't know," Arizona admitted. "Just keep flirting with her, don't sleep with anyone else and above all don't lose what you feel with that whole love is weakness crap," Arizona said.
"I can do that," Regina said, determination in her voice.
"Good, I hope it works out," Arizona said.
"Me too," Regina whispered. They walked out of the room and saw the interns gathered around Emma.
"You want to mess with them?" Arizona asked with a smile.
"I wouldn't be called the evil queen for no reason, now would I dear?" Regina said with a smirk and a wink. Arizona laughed glad Regina was back to her flirty self, they walked over to the interns.
Emma walked out and found the interns so she decided to go talk to them.
"Hey Emma, just the person I wanted to see," Red said.
"Why?" Emma asked as she stood next to Red and Belle.
"Because we are going for drinks and we want you to come," Red said.
"I can't, I would if I could but I have plans," Emma said.
"What kind of plans?" Killian asked.
"Ones that thankfully don't include you," Emma said.
"Come on Emma, please Go," Red begged.
"No and that's final, I promised someone something and I never break a promise," Emma said. Red groaned but understood.
"Never say never dear," Regina and Arizona walked up to them causing a few to jump.
"I have yet to break a promise, better?" Emma asked with a raised eyebrow. Reginas lips twitched.
"Much," Regina purred. Emma shivered goosebumps all over her body.
"Alright Savior, I need you with me, is that ok?" Arizona asked. Regina leaned in to whisper in Arizonas ear.
"Do not say anything, I will physically hurt you," Regina threatened.
"Geez ok, so can I have her?" Arizona asked. Regina raised an eyebrow making Arizona realize how that probably sounded.
"Yes, you can," Regina said.
"Aw man Arizona gets to have me, and I was so hoping another doctor would claim me," Emma winked at Regina and walked with Arizona.
"Bye evil queen," Arizona yelled making her and Emma run for it, but they heard Regina yell Arizona's name, and started laughing.
"Wow, I'm surprised she didn't chase you," Emma said expecting a red face Regina to come after Arizona.
"She'll probably get me back for it," Arizona said as they walked.
"Where are we going?" Emma asked.
"Jo's room, she should wake up any minute now," Arizona said.
"Oh ok," Emma said. After a few minutes of silence Arizona spoke.
"Do you like Regina?" Arizona asked.
"What?" Emma asked surprised by Arizona. "Why are you asking that? Didn't we literally just get done talking about this?" Emma asked.
"Yes, but I see the way you look at her, that and you don't flirt with anyone else but her, and that back there was major flirting," Arizona said.
"You're right, I don't flirt with anyone but her, maybe I should start, I'm sure Red would help me out," Emma said with a smirk, she didn't meant it, Regina was the only one she wanted to flirt with.
"You will do no such thing," Arizona scolded. "So it is true," Arizona said.
"Is what true?" Emma asked playing dumb.
"That's not funny, answer the question," Arizona said.
"It was a little funny," Emma said. Arizona was starting to get aggravated.
"Emma Swan," Arizona said. Emma held her hands up.
"Ok, yes I like her," Emma said.
"Then do something about it?" Arizona asked.
"Nothing," Emma said sadly. "Not until I think she won't sleep with other people and wants an actual relationship," Emma said.
"Wait, does that include me and calliope?" Arizona asked.
"No, I don't care about you two," Arizona raised her eyebrows at Emma.
"You don't care?" Arizona asked.
"Well I mean, I care because you all are friends but other than you flirting your relationship is platonic, right?" Emma questions doubtfully.
"Yes it is, now," Arizona said.
"It is now?" Emma asked.
"Long story that she will tell you, so what are you going to do?" Arizona asked.
"Wait a few days, maybe I'll see how it goes tonight, maybe I'll even take her home," Emma said as an afterthought.
"Sounds like a good plan," Arizona said.
"Does she like motorcycles?" Emma asked.
"I don't know, probably not, but if you are on it I'm sure she would love it," Arizona said.
"You won't mention any of this to her right?" Emma asked just now realizing she was talking to Reginas best friend.
"Of course not," Arizona said.
"Thanks," Emma said as they stopped in front of Jo's room.
"No problem," Arizona said. Callie rushed up to Arizona and Emma.
"Hey babe, I need to talk to you," Callie said.
"Sure no problem, Savior go ahead and go in, I'll be there in a bit," Arizona said.
"Sure thing" Emma walked into Jo's room. Callie took Arizona to the closet.
"Did you just drag me in here for a booty call?" Arizona teased. Callie smiled.
"Sadly no, but we will do that later," Callie winked.
"Then what?" Arizona asked.
"Ok, so tell me you see the connection with Regina and Emma," Callie said.
"I do see it between them, I just wish Emma would act on it," Arizona said.
"I thought you were calling her Savior?" Callie asked. Arizona shrugged.
"I mainly do it around Emma herself, because she hates the nickname. But anyways back to her and Regina, Regina says she likes Emma and Emma says she likes Regina but won't do anything about it," Arizona told her wife.
"Why not?" Callie asked.
"Because she says that until Regina stops sleeping around and stops flirting, with the exception of us, that she won't do anything about it," Arizona explained, she could see Emmas point.
"Well that does makes sense," Callie agreed.
"Yeah, but before the conversation I had with Emma, Regina was telling me that she would stop sleeping around and you know how Regina is," Arizona said.
"Yeah that is a big deal for her, so what do we do?" Callie asked wanting to help their best friend out.
"Nothing, at least not yet, Emma wants to see how tonight turns out, anyways were you wanting to talk about something or just about Emma and Regina?" Arizona asked. Callie shook her head.
"No, that's pretty much it," Callie said. Arizona nodded.
"Alright, well I'm going to go talk to Regina, I have a feeling she's stressing out," Arizona said.
"Ok," Callie said pecking Arizonas lips.
"Can you tell Emma I'll be there later?" Arizona asked as they walked out of the room.
"Yeah sure babe," Callie said then kissed her again and left.
