A/N: Sorry this took so long, Steph moved houses and of course I helped. I have been crazy busy with work and so I hadn't been able to get out to her house.
I have also come to the realization that I cant calm my brain down enough to write anything down with out my ADHD meds, so as soon as those get leveled out again we wil be cranking out chapters again!
A lot of stuff goes down in this chapter so enjoy!
July 4th
I looked up from my second book of The House of Night series that Callie slipped on my bookcase in the middle of the night after the birthday party while I was sleeping. It took me a few days to notice since I was always use to looking down not to upset anyone, even though I had nothing to fear with Callie and Arizona. Lately, I was either found engrossed in the first book due to relating so well with Zoe from the series or listening to the mp3 player Meredith and Derek had given me for my birthday. Sometimes it was movie night with Callie and Arizona, unless one was on call.
I looked up from the book at everyone around me. I could see Derek standing at the barbeque surrounded by the men telling sarcastic jokes and popping tabs off their beers. Addison sitting out by the edge of the drop off of Derek and Meredith's property already three sheets to the wind and maybe contemplating to jump.
What is her problem? She never does well in group settings. My brother can have fun dealing with that.
Callie was helping Meredith set up the food on the picnic tables and Arizona was, well, where was she? I stood up and headed towards Tuck and Zona chasing each other around the play set, almost knocking Christina over with glasses in her hand heading towards Owen who was talking to Karev leaning against the railing on the porch.
Arizona walked out of the house at that moment holding a huge tray full of buns and covered containers full of more food. I ran towards her and helped take some of the load off. Arizona just smiled at me as we walked toward Callie and Meredith.
"Thank you baby." Callie said as she grabbed the containers of food from my arms and stacked them on the table, as Meredith did the same for Arizona.
"So, are you having fun yet?" Meredith questioned towards me.
"Yes, actually I am." I responded smiling.
"Oh, cause I couldn't tell with you having your nose in the book." Meredith jokingly responded with a smile on her face.
"Well, she really loves those books Izzy suggested." Callie stated caressing the back of my hair.
"It's better than the present Christina gave her." Arizona said in a very obnoxious way with eyes wide.
"What did she get her?" Meredith a little worried about what her person might have place in that box she had her wrap before my birthday party.
"I got her what I dreamed about my whole childhood." Christina says confidently from behind Arizona. Elbowing me playfully and with a smile. Well, as much as Christina does smile. You know the one, not too much or her face will break.
"It was a great gift Christina, Thank you." I said shyly looking down embarrassed.
"You're welcome, I never knew a suture kit not to be." Christina stated matter-of-factly as we laughed in response.
"How's everything with your arm?" Meredith asked as she looked at it since my cast off had been removed a few days before.
"Feel's good!" I replied as I moved my arm around and balling my hand in and out of a fist.
"The stiches healed just nicely." Christina stated when I brought my other hand up to fix the strap on my tank top.
"Yeah." I said looking at them. "Like they were never there." I finished looking off in the trees.
Guessing Callie had felt my sudden mood change, she suggested I go get my blanket and book picked up so we could eat. I headed over towards where they were as Derek passed me with a tray full of hot dogs and hamburgers. The aroma causing my stomach to growl in anger of skipping breakfast for a few extra minutes of sleep. It was nice not to cook every meal and still know that there is food in the kitchen at all times if I wanted to.
I sat there looking around at everyone as they were laughing and engrossed in conversation. Karev and Sloan started fighting with forks over the last stuffed jalapeno and trying to use ranks as a way of wager. I don't know where it came from but it bellowed up from my stomach and I let out a laugh. Startling Callie sitting next to me. She started to laugh just as hysterically as me causing everyone else to laugh around us. Arizona looked at Karev with hope in her eyes that this was going to work out, and he gave her a confirming smile in reply to her expression.

Callie, Arizona and I laughed and talked the whole ride home. As Callie parked Arizona lunged from the car screaming "Last one in the elevator is a rotten egg!" I laughed and tried to unbuckle as Callie frantically shut off the car. We emerged from the vehicle as Arizona was already standing at the elevators laughing and doing her version of a victory dance.
"How much did she have to drink there?" I asked laughing.
Callie smiled and replied "That's not alcohol talking dear, that's the long term affect from working in peds."
We both laughed reaching the elevator as Arizona proceeded to call us "La, La, Losers."
We rode the elevators up holding our breath to see who caved first, laughing hysterically as the doors opened and we stepped into the hallway. Callie in front of us. We hadn't noticed halfway down the hall Callie had stopped till Arizona and I slammed into her from distraction of our conversation.
"Zona!" Callie said not looking back.
Arizona could tell something was wrong from her tone and looked around her to see what caused her pause. There was a man and woman in suits standing at our door. When they noticed our pause in the "Too quiet hall" they straightened up and brushed off their suits.
"Who are they?" I asked confused.
"We don't know." Arizona said coming out from behind Callie and walking towards them jumbiling her keys. We followed. She stopped at the door and asked. "Can I help you two with anything?"
"I'm detective Mason and this is Mary Corral from social services. Were here about a minor you have in your home under the name Jacquelynn Moss."
I started to panic and Callie squeezed my hand in reassurance. "Yes, please, come in wont you?" Arizona invited as she opened the door. The man and woman proceeded inside and we followed at a slow place. Before we entered Callie whispered in my ear. "Got to your room and wait till I come in." I nodded and did just that.
Through the door of my room I could hear the muffling of their conversation. It seemed the conversation turned heated as Callie's voice became louder.
"Can they do that?" Callie demanded. Causing me to flinch at the sudden volume change.
"They….parents….love her…..home." Detective Mason shot back.
*Muffled voice* from Arizona.
"Ma'am, we have looked over the files and there is no prior's to these accusations in which you two and the hospital have stated, on the testimony of a child mind you, which we've been informed by school and her family has a history of lying." Mary accusingly said in reply to whatever Arizona had said.
I heard movement of furniture scrap the floor as someone rose from their chair.
"I cannot believe this! You're going to send her back to them? He won't stop and he can even do more damage this time the he did every time before that." Callie asked and stated towards the Social Worker.
My eyes widened in fear waiting for the Social Worker's reply to Callie's questions as I hugged the door.
"We have to. We have no control over this." Arizona told Callie.
"I'll give you ten minutes together and for her to collect her belonging to bring home." The Social Worker stated as she stood up and scraped the floor with her chair.
"Ten minutes! It is late and she needs to be in bed can't this wait till tomorrow or this Monday?" Callie pleaded.
"No Ms. Torres it cannot, frankly ten minutes is more than I allowed most of the time anyways." The Social Worker said. I un-hugged the door and threw my clothes in the duffle bag from my closet, trying to pack fast enough to sneak out my window. I could hear Callie shouting obscenities in Spanish when the door shut after Detective Mason and Mary Corral.
The commotion behind the door fell silent and I stopped to listen.
There was a knock on the door.

Bailey and Chief stood outside waiting on an ambulance talking about her surgery that morning. Just as the ambulance pulled up the EMT jumped out and shout out the child's stats handing Bailey papers.
"Fifteen year old girl, mom called 911 and reported her daughter hurt and in need of medical help. Since arriving on the scene she hasn't spoken at all. Looks like multiple broken bones and possible internal damage."
Chief helped the other EMT wheel out the gurney holding the child and wheeled her inside. Bailey paused as the child passed and even though her face was bruised and swollen Bailey knew that face. It was Jacque.
"Chief!" Bailey yelled running after the gurney Chief was pushing with Jacque on it. "Chief!" She yelled once more.
Chief looked up at Bailey's yelling plea knowing she had something important to say. Bailey stood beside the gurney brushing Jacque's hair from her face. She looked up at Chief as his expression hardened and she said "No one tells Callie and Arizona!" Chief nodded in response.
"Karev get me a room for x-rays set up. See where Arizona and Callie are and make sure they stay busy." Bailey shouted orders. "Olivia, page Doctor Shepard!"
"Wait, why am I keeping them busy?" Karev asked confusingly. Stopping Bailey from walking off.
"Because Karev, Jacque's the child that just came out of the ambulance, and they don't need to know anything till we know if she's okay!" Bailey answered sternly.
Chief continued to push the gurney out of the emergency room as Karev watched saddened by the news. He didn't move until the gurney rounded the corner towards the new surgery wing since the explosion.
Bailey paged Callie's Intern Schritzfield while she informed Olivia who to page next.

"Addison, we need to talk." Karev entered her office in a blur. From the way he said and his expression she knew something wasn't right.
"Karev?" She questioned wearily.
"Where's Callie and Arizona?" Karev inquired as the sweat broke free from his face and his breathing started to mellow.
"I don't know I just left them in the cafeteria." Addison turned her head to the side in annoyance and worry. Karev took a deep sigh. "What is wrong Karev?"
"It's Jacque!" Karev said just over a whisper. "They brought her in just now with multiple broken bones and maybe internal bleeding."
Addison stepped back in horror. "Where is she now?"
"They wheeled her off towards surgery and paged Derek." Karev now more calm than when he ran into her office.
"You go back to ped's and act as of nothing happened and whatever you do Karev, don't… tell… Arizona!"
Addison and Karev jumped when a soft voice spoke. "Don't tell me what?"
A/N: So what did you think? Some good drama huh? We sped it up a bit with the time gaps but its because i didnt want to write a bunch of filler chapters about what went on at home. Assume that the beatings and taking care of everything around the house happens again when she goes back.
Honestly dont know when the next chapter will be out but im currently fighting a horrible case of Bronchitis that has knocked me on my ass, so I know I cant get to her anytime soon. Please stick with us no matter how long it takes!
Also, we will be taking down and reuploading my other story Rachels Story and making it better and possibly changing the name, so if you read that one too it will be redone soon!
Read and review pleeeeeeeease! :)
