Somewhere unknown
The pain spread through her body like a wildfire. Assessing her injuries, she realized she had at least three cracked ribs, and that was if she was lucky. If she were unlucky, they were broken, just like multiple bones in her hand.
Oh, God her hand she thought. Would she ever be able to operate on a tiny human again? And then her mind went running back to Calvin. She really hoped the boy did not think she just disappeared on him. She honestly had grown so attached to the child and really did not want Calvin to be mad at her for something that was completely out of her control.
Arizona's mind then went racing back to the fact that Mr. James had informed her that a live recording of everything that was going on right now had been sent to everyone in the hospital. "fuckkkkkk!" Arizona yelled out, "of course you guys would get a front row at watching me at the lowest point, listen, Owen, Amelia, Alex, or April. If any of you are watching at the moment can you please come up with a believable lie to tell Calvin. I don't want him to think I just left him.
Immediately Arizona regretted bringing up Calvin when she heard the door swing open with force.
"You have some nerve speaking about my boy, blondie!" Mr. James yelled as he ran towards Arizona. He grabbed her by the throat and lifted the petite blonde up and pushed her against the wall. He could hear her gasping for air, begging for her life. The joy that this brought him was insane; he would love to watch the life drain out of the woman's eyes. But that was not part of his plan. Not at all.
After holding her up against the wall for another 30 seconds, he finally dropped her back down to the floor.
"Is…. Th….that…. all yo….you go… you got." Arizona spit out.
"You want more blondie?" Mr. James asked as he lifted his foot up and smashed it down on the woman's leg. Hoping to hear the pleasant sound of her bones breaking, all he got was a searing pain in his foot. Causing him to jump back and hold his foot.
Arizona watched the man jump back in pain, and she decided this was her chance to fight back and show this man she was not one to mess with.
Arizona jumped up to her feet and tackled the man to the ground. Throwing punches left and right making contact with his eyes, nose, mouth, anything her fist could hit she hit. She jumped up to her feet again and began kicking him everywhere, in the ribs, the back, and then multiple times in the private areas. Arizona felt some hope arise in her chest; she thought maybe she could actually beat this man unconscious and actually get out of here.
That dream came to a crashing halt immediately when she felt a hand grab her leg and pull her to the ground. She felt her cheekbone crash down on the surface and then multiple kicks to her abdomen; she thought she was going to pass out from the pain again. But then she felt the kicks stop and footsteps walking away from her.
When she heard, the door shut, she let the cry out that she had been holding in the whole time. Arizona sat there for a good five minutes just crying and getting everything out. Finally, she pulled herself together. She needed to figure out how to get out of this situation and actually try to figure out where she was. If she learned where she was, she could tell the police, because by now she is sure that law enforcement has been contacted.
Arizona decided to get back up on her feet when she noticed that her prosthetic leg was twisted out of place. She twisted it back into place and got to her feet ever so slowly. The pain was unbearable, but she needed to take in her surroundings.
She noticed that there was a window in the corner of the room, it was a bit high up, but Arizona figured she could climb up on the box and take a look and see what is outside. With ever step she took, she felt an immense amount of pain in her ribs and chest, pain that would knock any normal person out. But not Arizona, she was; driven, focused, and very stubborn. She was going to make sure she got out of this alive because right now all she could think about was Sofia and Calvin…. Oh, and her…. Well she's not hers anymore she was Penny's after all, but she could not stop thinking about Calliope.
If Arizona got out of this alive, she was going to tell Callie about how she really felt, about how much she missed her and how sorry she was for everything. She could live with them not being together if it meant she could at least have Callie back in her life. To have them be on talking terms at least and not just a few spoken words when they were talking about plans for Sofia.
New York City
"Sofia, sweetie, can you please start packing, you know that your momma is flying out here tomorrow to pick you up to bring you to Seattle for a few weeks," Callie called out to her daughter who was just sitting on the couch watching Scooby Doo.
"I will go after this episode mom," Sofia answered back, as she laughed at Scooby and Shaggy being too scared to enter a haunted house until Daphne offered them Scooby snacks.
"Sofia! Now!" Callie yelled back, getting angry at her little one for not listening to her.
"Ugh, fine," Sofia said in a huff, as she got up and stomped her feet all the way to her room.
Man did Callie hate this stage the girl was going through. It was like she was constantly angry with her and when she asked Arizona how Sofia was with her, she said she listened straight away and never gave her a hard time for the most part. The only thing she could come up with on why her daughter was acting the way she was, was the fact she had taken her away from her momma.
Each day she hated herself more and more for accepting Arizona's offer, she should have never left Seattle. That was where her home was, that was where Sofia's home was, and most importantly that was where Arizona was. She knew her beautiful ex-wife probably would never want her to become a part of her life again, but she was sure that she would be happy to have Sofia back in Seattle.
Moving back wouldn't be a problem either since Penny, and she had broken up within the first three months of her moving to New York. Callie knew she should have just moved back to Seattle, but she let her pride get the best of her, and she continued to let Arizona and everyone else believe that she and Penny were still together.
So many thoughts continued to run through the Latina's mind until she was ripped away from her thoughts by her phone ringing. She looked down and noticed that it was a number with an area code in Seattle.
"Hello?" Callie answered
"Callie… how are you?"
"Owen? I am fine…. Why are you calling me?"
"listen Callie… is Sofia around right now?"
"No, she is packing, for tomorrow when Arizona comes to pick her up. Why?"
"Okay. Callie, could you please take a seat, what I am about to tell you… Callie, it is not good, so please prepare yourself."
"Owen, just spit it out for Christ sakes!"
"Arizona she…. She.." Owen was choking back his tears.
"Owen, what is it? What happened?"
"Arizona has been taken."
"You're calling me to tell me Arizona is a relationship? Fuck you, Owen! Fuck you."
And with that, she hung up the phone. What a douche why would he call me, just to tell me about Arizona getting into a relationship.
Again, she heard her phone ring and saw it was the same number, so she hit decline, but again Owen called back.
"What do you want Owen!"
"Callie, I didn't mean taken as in a relationship, I literally meant she was taken, like man has abducted her…" Owen blurted out a bit more harshly than he intended.
"What…. You're lying… this is a joke, right?"
"I am a so sorry Callie."
Callie hung up the phone again and just fell to the floor and began to sob uncontrollably.
"Mommy, can I bring Mr. Bear with me to Seattle." She heard Sofia call out.
Callie began wiping the tears away from her face and took a few calm breaths; she did not want to worry her little one.
"Of course, sweetie. We have a few changes in the plans though, so when you finish packing come out here please so I can tell you." Callie called out.
"Okay, mommy."
thirty minutes later
"Okay mommy, what are the new plans?"
"Alright sweetie, you and I are going to fly to Seattle tonight! How does that sound?"
"Does that mean I get to see momma even sooner!" Sofia screamed out
Callie had no idea how to respond to her daughter, "we sure are gonna try." She said as she pulled her into a hug.
