Thank you for reading/reviewing!
Sorry for some inconsistencies in the story, that tends to happen when I get really tired!
"I'm glad; it was a perfect day for me too. You make me so happy and I love you so much!
"I love you too, Calliope! I can't wait for our marriage and the rest of our lives to begin." And with that, they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
"So when do you want to get married?" Arizona asked as she looked up from reading a file while sitting in her fiancée's room.
"I'm thinking after Daniel is born, and after I have had a few months to get back into pre-baby shape. So maybe in a year?"
"Uhh, yeah. Sure." She said quietly.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why did you get quiet all of the sudden?" She asked as she noticed the change in Arizona's demeanor.
"No reason, I'm fine. Oh, my pager is going off, I have to go."
Callie just looked at Arizona with confusion and worry etched into her face.
"I didn't hear your pager go off." She whispered to herself, even more confused as to what just happened between the two of them.
Arizona stomped into an on call room on the cardio floor because that was the furthest she could make it before she was going to break down in tears. She stormed into the dark on call room and burst into tears as she sat down on the bottom bed.
"Hey!" A voice screamed from under the covers as Arizona jumped up and ran to turn on the lights.
"I'm so sorry! I thought this room was free-Teddy?"
Teddy sat up sleepily and rubbed her eyes until she finally realized that her best friend was standing in front of her with tears streaming down her face.
"Hey, honey, what's wrong?" She asked as she invited Arizona over to sit on the bed with her.
"Callie doesn't want to get married for another year!"
"Why is that a bad thing, honey?" She asked as she soothingly rubbed Arizona's back.
"Because what if she doesn't make it? I'm hoping for the best, but what happens if she dies, Teddy? I want to be able to say that she was my wife, not just my fiancée. I want the papers to prove it."
Teddy was shocked; she had never seen that part of Arizona before, the part that needed everything to be binding and legal.
"Well then talk to Callie about it, but I'm sure that she just wants to carry on her life like she normally would if she weren't in the hospital."
"But she is, Teddy! This is a big deal! It's life or death! And I want to be able to call her my wife before something happens to one of us."
"Then go talk to her, I'm sure she'd be willing to get married now. But you need to stop running away from her when you get sad. You are engaged, that means that you are supposed to help each other and share things with each other. You running away every time you get upset will not help anyone. So go talk to her."
Just as Arizona was about to speak, her pager went off for real this time, so she rushed down to the emergency room to wait for an incoming patient. Her fiancée would just have to wait.
Meanwhile
"Callie, how do you feel right now?" Lucy asked as she rushed into the room.
"Like I just had a seizure, but thanks for asking."
"Now is definitely not the time to try to be funny. How do you really feel? I'll have someone page Arizona."
"No! Don't page Arizona, I don't want her to know that I had another seizure otherwise she'll camp out here all day and night and that's not good for her. She's already here all night when she should be at home; I'm not going to let her stop working so she can babysit me all day. And I feel dizzy and lightheaded, but other than that, I feel okay. Daniel is kicking right now, so I guess he feels fine too."
"Fine, Callie. I'll tell everyone not to tell Arizona what happened. You seem to be fine right now, remember that these seizures might happen from time to time. I'll check up on you in a little bit, you be sure to tell anyone if you feel sick again, okay? And eat something; get some orange juice or a sandwich." She added as she rushed off to see another patient.
Callie felt fine, she really did. But, she hated having to worry Arizona, so she just opted not to tell her. Probably not the best idea, but she hoped that Arizona would never know that she kept something like this from her.
After eating and trying to read a book for a while, she decided to text Mark and have him come visit.
"Hey Torres, how ya doing?"
"I'm alright, bored out of my mind though. How have you been? I haven't talked to you in a few days; I thought that you would have been by to check on Danny at least."
"I've been meaning to, but my surgical schedule has been super busy. And I've been trying to work things out with Lexie."
"Really? That's so great! I hope things work out for you two! But the real reason why I had you come was because I've been thinking about Danny's name."
"Alright, what about it?"
"I think I want his name to be Daniel Marcus Sloan-Torres, just so people will know that I am his mother, and that Arizona is his mom too. I'm not sure if she is going to change her name when we get married, but I just want the both of us to be able to prove that we are his mothers, by the same last name. I know that is kind of irrational, but it's just how I feel."
"That's fine with me, as long as I get to see him every day, I don't really care what his last name is."
Just as she was about to respond, Lucy walked in pulling an ultrasound machine behind her.
"Alright, Arizona is in an emergency surgery so it should be a while before she comes to visit. Let's check everything out to make sure he's still ok after the seizure."
"Lucy!" Callie yelled as she put on her best glare.
"What? Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there Mark, how are you?"
"Did you just say another seizure?"
"Yes, she did. But I'm fine, and we are NOT telling Arizona, got it?"
"Got it Torres."
After seeing that Danny was still healthy and moving around, Lucy left and Mark decided that he didn't spend enough time with Callie and Danny so he decided to stick around for a while.
"You know, you can talk to Danny if you want to, he can hear you. It might be nice for him to hear his Daddy's voice."
Mark had secretly been wanting to do just that for a while now, but he didn't want to make Callie uncomfortable so he never acted on it.
"Hi Danny, it's your Dad-" He started as he pulled up a chair and started rubbing Callie's belly.
He spent about an hour talking to Danny about sports and how much fun they were going to have once he was born. As he was leaving to go to one of his surgeries, he bent down and kissed Callie's belly.
"By buddy, love you." He added after he kissed her belly, causing tears of happiness to form in Callie's eyes.
After he left, she looked up and saw Arizona's not so happy, kind of jealous face looking at them and tried to fix that by smiling brightly at her. She could tell she was starting to crack Arizona's façade, but then she noticed the blonde look down at her pager and sigh. She glanced back at Callie before she started running over to the stairs so she could get up to the Peds floor.
Arizona was rounding the corner when she heard machines going off in Katie Richardson's room and she immediately ran over to try and stabilize her.
"Damn it! It's her heart again, page Altman and rush her into the Operating Room, I'll go scrub in."
Katie was born early with heart problems and had been one of Arizona's patients for the past two months.
After getting her rushed into surgery to operate on her little, underdeveloped 2 month old heart, they lost her. Her heart was too damaged and she had been on the transplant list for her whole, short life.
This case especially hit close to home since her fiancée was currently carrying their child and in danger of delivering early.
As she ripped off her mask on the way back into the scrub room she burst into tears at the thought of having to tell little Katie's parents that she didn't make it. She was leaning over the sink, gripping the edge of it as Teddy walked in behind her and gave her a big hug.
"Come on, I'll go with you to tell the parents."
She waited a few minutes so Arizona could stop crying and prepare herself, and then they went to find Katie's parents to tell them the bad news.
They took it just as badly as Arizona imagined they would, she always hated having to crush a family's life in a moment's notice. That just made her want to see her family, her Calliope and their son.
As Arizona walked into Callie's room, she looked at her gorgeous girlfriend who was lying in bed, rubbing her belly and reading what looked like a Harry Potter book.
Wow, my girlfriend is such a dork, but I love her for it. She thought before Callie looked up and noticed her standing in the doorframe.
"Hey, baby. We missed you. How was your day?"
Arizona immediately broke down at the memory of telling Katie's parents that their little girl didn't make it through surgery and rushed over to give Callie a huge hug.
"Hey, baby calm down. What happened?"
Instead of answering her, she kept sobbing into Callie's shirt. Teddy walked by a few minutes later to check on a patient and noticed that Arizona was still crying, so she thought she would help Callie out a little bit.
2 month old patient died on the table. Heart problems. She broke down in the scrub room and bolted after we told the parents. She was thinking about you and Danny and what could happen.
That was the sign that Teddy held up so Callie could read it through the window. Then it all clicked, she was worried about that happening to Danny and herself. That was when she was glad that nobody told Arizona about the seizure that she had earlier.
After she calmed down a few minutes later, she looked up at Callie with her bright blue, watery eyes.
"I want to talk to you about when we are getting married."
"Okay, as soon as you tell me why you're crying."
Just so you know…I am obsessed with Harry Potter! All of those books are amazing!
I hope you liked it!
