Daniel's last name is Sloan-Torres, because when they get married Arizona will be Robbins-Torres, or just Torres. So that will show the connection that she has to Daniel.
I loved the musical episode! JCap made me want to cry because she looked so sad all of the time and I wanted to punch Mark when he called her nothing. And Sara Ramirez's voice was AMAZING, as expected!
"I want to talk to you about when we are getting married."
"Okay, as soon as you tell me why you're crying."
"I want to get married before Danny is born."
"Why? Why not a year from now, when I'm better and Danny is here and you aren't worried all of the time?"
"Because I want to be married to you now, I want to be your wife, especially if-"
"If I might die? If that's what you were going to say then say it. Don't hesitate. Please, I want to know what you are thinking. I already told you that I was NOT going anywhere, anytime soon. So apparently you don't believe me when I say that Daniel and I WILL be around years and years from now."
"But see, that's the thing! You can't promise me something like that."
"Well why the hell not? I just did promise you that! And you know that I never break my promises, so you are stuck with me for the rest of our lives."
"Because you are a doctor, Callie! You see people come in every day, expecting to have a routine surgery and then they die! You see people who die during a routine knee replacement; I've had kids die during an appendectomy. Anything can happen. You can't honestly say that you and Daniel will be fine, because we won't really know until he is born."
By the end of her explanation she was practically screaming at Callie, while Callie just sat there glaring at Arizona waiting for her to finish ranting.
Then Callie's blood pressure machine starting beeping because her blood pressure was rising too fast.
"Why is your blood pressure so high?" Arizona asked to herself as she walked over to the machine near Callie's bed.
"It's been high all day; I had a seizure earlier, so it's still trying to get back to normal. Now back to this whole not wanting to wait until after our child is born thing…"
"Yeah, I don't want to wait until after he is born because I love you and Danny and you love me, so what is the real problem with us getting married now?"
"You deserve a proper wedding Arizona. You deserve a gorgeous dress, breathtaking flowers and whatever else you want. You need to have your family and friends there; your dad should walk you down the aisle. I want to be able to pick out our wedding rings together-in the store. Not online, or in a magazine, or from a sketch. I want to pick them out in person, with you. I promised your father that I would take care of you and look, look at you!"
"I don't need a proper anything, Callie. The only thing that matters to me is that you are my wife. And what does that mean?" She asked, getting angrier by the second.
"You have been sleeping in this hospital for who knows how long, you only go home to shower. You have been eating disgusting hospital food all the time, you never hang out with anyone outside of work and you have bags under your eyes because you can barely sleep to begin with. I've been worried about you for a while now; you need to take care of yourself. You are pushing yourself too hard at work and not getting any sleep here because it's a freaking uncomfortable hospital bed. I am the patient, in case you forgot. And I love you too much to let you keep doing this to yourself."
"Wait. We need to back up for a second. Did you say that you had ANOTHER seizure today?"
"Did I? Uhh, nope. I don't think I said that."
"Calliope Iphigenia Torres, do NOT lie to me. Did you, or did you not have a seizure today? Either you tell me, or I go find Lucy, and if I have to go find Lucy, I will be even more upset."
"Fine. Yes, I had a seizure today, right before you went into emergency surgery. Happy?" As soon as those words came out of Callie's mouth, she regretted them.
Happy? Did I really just say that to her? She is going to kill me herself; I have never seen her look so angry before. Why did I have to get so worked up and say that….worst. idea. ever.
"Happy? Did you really just say that to me?" I told you, that was probably the worst possible thing that I could have said. "Of course I am not happy Callie! My fiancée just lied to me, and then took it back and told me that she had another seizure. Would you be happy? I don't think so. Why the hell didn't you page me?"
"Well I didn't page you because I was kind of busy. You know, having a seizure and everything." And there it is again. Why am I being so stupid? It's like word vomit, apparently I can't stop talking. I don't think we have ever had a fight this big before, I guess it was coming. I just didn't expect to act like a complete moron during it.
"You know what? I am getting really sick of your smart ass comments here Callie. You know what I meant. Why didn't you have SOMEONE page me? And do not give me another bullshit answer Callie."
Oh shit. I'm really in for it. I don't think she's called me Callie this much, EVER. I hate it when she calls me Callie, it sounds so wrong coming from her. It's weird. When parents punish their kids, they use full names, but when I'm in trouble I get nicknamed.
"I didn't want to worry you. I'm so sick of being a burden to you. I have been in this fucking hospital bed for way to long and I despise it. I hate not being able to be the fun, hardcore, rockstar ortho surgeon anymore. When you are gone, I spend my time doing sutures on a banana. A banana, Arizona. I'm going crazy with nothing to do. I know that it's for Danny, and that's why I am constantly in this bed, because I need him to be okay. But, I'm bringing you down. You should be out, enjoying yourself, but instead, you are here 24/7 and it's not fair to you. Do you even remember the last time you spent more than an hour out of the hospital in the past month?"
"A burden? How could you even think that Callie? I love you and Danny so much. I have no desire to be away from you, none. I need to be close to you, I don't care about hanging out with my friends or anything else. All I need is you; you are the most important thing to me, so screw everything else. I don't care about it. I am exactly where I want to be. Please believe me, because it's the truth. I am so in love with you, that's why I want to be married to you already. The sooner, the better."
"I love you too, you know that. But, you need to sleep at home tonight."
"What? Of course not! I'm sleeping right here, with you, like I have been for the past month."
"No, you need to go home Arizona. Sleep in our bed, get comfortable, have a bath, relax. You have a day off tomorrow, so does Teddy, why don't you hang out with her?"
"I just told you Callie! I don't have any desire to hang out with anyone but you! And I am sleeping here tonight."
"No you are not, you either willingly leave, or I'll call security."
"You wouldn't."
"Try me, Arizona."
Her face immediately fell as she realized that Callie was serious.
"Screw you Callie." Were the words that came out of her mouth as she grabbed her stuff and stormed out of the room.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's Callie, listen, Arizona and I got into a huge fight, and I mean HUGE. I told her that she needed to go home or I would call security. It was ugly. I pushed her to leave because she needs to spend some time outside of this hospital. So, can you please go check on her and make sure she's eating and sleeping. And then tomorrow you guys can hang out, maybe?"
"Yeah, I'll go check on her right now, and I'll try to keep her busy tomorrow. But, you better fix things between the two of you. Soon, and I mean it. I'll text you later, Cal."
"You got it, thanks Teddy. I owe you, yet again."
Arizona,
I finally got you to go home so you can try and get a decent night's sleep. I hated having to do it though; I hated picking that fight with you and forcing you out of my room. It broke my heart to see you leave, knowing that you were that angry with me. I'm writing you these letters just in case something does happen to me when Danny is born. I know that I keep promising that I'll live, but just in case something does happen, I want you to have something to remember me by. I want you to be able to re-read these letters and remember the amazing times that we had together.
I had Teddy buy tons of t-shirts for me, and I'm wearing one every day until Danny is born, that way you will always have something that smells like me. I hate having to think like this, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I love you so much, you need to know that. I am so in love with you, I miss you so much right now, and you have only been gone for an hour. I know what you're thinking 'then why did you make me get out?' I did that so you would get used to not being with me all of the time, just in case something does happen. Because I NEED you to be okay.
When you came up to me in that bar bathroom, I was so shocked, little did I know that it would be the best day of my life, because I met you. My soul mate, Baby, Honey, Zona, my everything. I am so glad that you had the courage to come and kiss a complete stranger because it made my life worthwhile. I know that it has been a long, hard road getting to where we are today, but it was all worth it. Everything was worth it, especially now that I get to call you my fiancée and you will be my wife someday. I still don't know if I want to get married before Danny is born or not. I think that me looking forward to becoming your wife might help me survive, but I hate having to see you in this much pain. I'll talk to you about it tomorrow night, because I know you will show up again, even though we are in a fight. But that is what I love so much about you, you're persistent. I'll write you more letters, don't worry.
My heart will always belong to you,
Your Calliope
Callie was in tears by the time she finished, because she kept thinking about leaving Arizona and Danny alone, and that devastated her. As she put the letter in an envelope and labeled it Zona-#1, she heard her phone vibrate on the table.
I'm sorry.
-Zona
Callie had to smile at her fiancée, who would never go to bed without trying to end a fight.
Me too. I love you. But please, take a fun day for yourself tomorrow.
-Calliope
She had just set down her phone when it vibrated again.
Fine, I'll see you tomorrow night. I'll bring something good for dinner.
I love you too.
-A
And with that, Callie went to bed with a smile on her face, happy that her fiancée was taking a break from the hospital.
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!
