"Have you heard from Arizona lately?" Darren asks Callie over lunch.

"Yes, we talk or email every day. She's doing really well over there and is about to publish the Placenta Previa case, she just had another case and the cauterization procedure worked again." Callie explains.

"Oh that's exciting. I can't wait to read about the 'Robbins' method." Darren says teasing.

"I think you mean the 'Robbins' procedure'" Callie replies.

"Yeah, that's really awesome. The 'Robbins' procedure', that has a nice ring to it." Darren agrees.

"She's a brilliant and talented surgeon, it's about time everyone knows it." Callie says proudly.

"Once she publishes this procedure, I bet she'll be nominated for a Harper Avery." Darren replies.

"Oh you better believe she'll be nominated for it, but doctors from Sloan Grey don't win them." Callie points out.

"Good thing she's publishing from the Timothy Daniel Robbins Memorial Clinic in Malawi then." Darren says.

"Oh my god, you're right. If she publishes from there instead of here, she may actually have a chance to win it." Callie replies excitedly. "Not to mention how much additional publicity that she'll get for the clinic."


"Hey baby, how has your day been?" Callie says when Arizona appears on her computer.

"It's been an amazing day. The baby is thriving, though it was touch and go early this morning." Arizona explains, "We had to take the mother back into to surgery early this morning too. But we were able to recauterize the bleeders and her numbers are way up, so I think she's in the clear now."

"What happened with the baby?" Callie asks.

"Oh his lungs collapsed, but we had a surfactant treatment available and he responded to it and his numbers are up now, but we're still watching him closely. We were able to borrow and get delivered a NICU cube from the hospital in Blantyre." Arizona explains further.

"That's impressive Arizona. It's good that you were there." Callie replies, then pauses. "Hey, Darren and I were talking over lunch and it seems that you publishing from the clinic could put you in a great position for a Harper Avery."

"Calliope, I'm more excited to publish this to help save more women from bleeding out. And I'm contacting the cauterization manufacturer with some modification suggestions. There's a young doctor here, Ashley Stewart from Baylor Med and she pointed out that if the manufacturer knew how I was using the kit, they may be able to improve it to make it more effective." Arizona says excitedly.

"That's... uh, wow. That's a great point. But maybe we should contact the hospital attorney to see if you should patent your procedure or something first. The manufacturer may take your suggestion and then make a ton of money off of your idea." Callie remarks.

"Yeah, I know. I'm working with an attorney from Texas, it turns out Ashley's dad is an attorney and he recommended one in the medical field." Arizona explains.

"Wow, if all of your doctors are as brilliant as this Ashley, the clinic must be in really good shape." Callie says a little sharply.

Catching the tone, Arizona looks at her, "Hey, Calliope." she says staring right into the camera.

Looking up, a little embarrassed that she's jealous of this person just because she's there with Arizona, "I'm sorry, I just miss you so much." Callie says running her fingers through her thick curls.

"I know Cal, I miss you too." Arizona says smiling brightly, "I love you so much."

Staring a moment into those incredible blue eyes smiling at her, Callie melts a bit, "I love you too," she says returning the smile.

"You're so beautiful and that smile, that smile is super magic." Arizona says reaching down to take a screen shot.

"Wait did you just take a picture of me?" Callie asks, "Arizona I'm a mess, you delete that right now." Callie says loudly.

"No, that super magic smile is all I need to get me through this trip and back to Seattle," the blonde replies playfully.

Reaching down, Callie takes a screen shot of the blonde, "Okay, then I get one too." She says almost sticking her tongue out, then realizing that the blonde still has her hands on the keyboard. "Wait, no more pictures."

Laughing Arizona pulls her hands away and shows them, "Okay, okay. No more pictures."

Relieved Callie sits back and smiles at the blonde and she takes one more photo.

"Arizona! You promised." Callie protests.

"I know, but you're so hot, I can't help it," the blonde teases.

"I'm going to ban Skype calls if you're going to keep taking photos of me." Callie protests again.

"Okay, okay." Arizona says holding up her hands.

"Wait, is that... Are you wearing the ring?" Callie says moving closer to the screen.

"Yes, is that weird?" Arizona asks.

"N-n-no, I'm just surprised is all. I didn't know what you did with it, it was such a long time ago." Callie says softly.


Disconnecting the call, Callie sighs heavily and then pulls up the screenshot that she took during the call. Arizona is laughing and smiling just for her. Her phone dings and its a message from Meredith with a photo of Zola and Sofia in the bathtub playing. Smiling, Callie forwards it to Arizona's email. Then types a message to Meredith.

Then the phone rings and it's Meredith.

"Hey Mer, are they out of the bath already?" Callie asks.

"Oh yeah, Amelia put them to bed and is reading them a story." Meredith explains. "How are you doing?"

"I'm good. I just finished Skyping with Arizona." Callie replies. "She's finishing her journal article and finally going to publish it and she's contacted a patent attorney about working with the cauterization manufacturer for a modification on the kit to make it more suitable for the 'Robbins' Procedure'"

"Oh good that she's working with an attorney, remember what Derek and Mark went through on their modification kit." Meredith reminds her.

"Yeah, I started to remind her, but she was already on it. She's got an attorney from Texas that she's working with, apparently one of the surgeons there suggested it." Callie explains.

"Well, that's great. Is she going to publish from the clinic then and not Sloan-Grey?" Meredith asks.

"Yes, it's going to really help publicize the clinic and help her attract more fellowship participants." Callie points out.

"Not to mention that if she gets nominated for a Harper Avery it could help her win if she's not from Sloan-Grey." Meredith points out.

"Yeah Darren and I thought of that too. But she swears she just wants to do it from the clinic for the publicity, but it would be awesome if she gets nominated too." Callie gushes proudly.

"She deserves it, that's an incredible innovation." Meredith agrees. "So how is she doing over there?"

"She seems to be doing well." Callie replies. "She's wearing the ring that I gave her after we bought the house."

Pausing a moment, Meredith says, "That's a gorgeous ring, why wouldn't she wear it?"

"Well, its from the old us, not the new us." Callie replies confused.

"But not all of the old you was bad." Meredith points out.

"True, but still I did just sell the house so it's odd. It just strikes me as odd that she took the ring that she hasn't worn in years with her to Africa and is wearing it." Callie continues to question it.

"Well, I do see your point. But obviously it reminds her of you in a good way or she wouldn't be wearing it." Meredith remarks.


"That ring is gorgeous." Dr Stewart comments at dinner that night.

"Thank you," Arizona says smiling. "It was a gift."

Looking down and smiling to herself, she gets it. Dr Robbins' subtle way of telling her that she's not single.

Arizona smiles to herself, pleased that she thought to bring the ring with her to Africa. Not only does it remind her of the happiness when she and Callie bought the house, it serves this purpose.

"It must be difficult to be separated from your girlfriend." Dr Stewart comments.

"It is, but she's not really my girlfriend, we have a child together." Arizona points out.

"Oh, wow. I didn't know that you had a baby." She remarks.

"Yes, our daughter is about to turn five. Actually, she will turn five before I get back." Arizona says sadly.

"I - I just went through a break up. Well taking this fellowship sort of precipitated the break up. We were heading that direction, which is obviously why I applied for the fellowship. I mean, if things are going well in your relationship you don't apply for a two year fellowship halfway around the world." Dr Stewart confesses.

"Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that but I do understand; geography is a solid break up method though." Arizona replies.
