A/N: Well, they are admitting Mom since she's on a blood thinner and can't go into the cath lab today. I went in to work and they sent me home, so I grabbed my laptop and I'm finishing this chapter from the ER of a small area hospital, while Mom dozes in the bed. Hoping a Callie Torres will breeze in and change clothes right in the hall outside the room...


"Okay, well that explains what she said to me today after surgery then." Arizona replies, after Callie recounts the conversation that she had with Amelia that morning. "It's just a friend crush Calliope. She's not in love with me. I-I would know, we live together."

"A friend crush? You mean she has a girl crush on you?" Callie asks.

"Yes, similar to how you are around Maggie." Arizona counters.

"Maggie? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't..." Callie begins to defend herself.

"Calliope, it's not a bad thing. Last week you talked about Maggie all through dinner, it's okay. It's just a friend crush. I get it and I'm not worried about it. We will have crushes on people, platonic crushes are normal. And I need you to know that while I think Amelia is amazing in many ways, I'm not interested in anything other than friendship with her." Arizona explains.

Taking a sip of her wine, Callie considers the blonde's comments. She realizes that it is true that she has a little crush on Maggie, but that's all it is. Its similar to how she felt in awe of Meredith when they first met. It was more than a little weird when she realized that she and George both had crushes on her, it was later that she found out they had slept together.

"Calliope?" Arizona saying her name, brings her back and the brunette shakes her head lightly.

"Sorry, I just... never mind. Yes, I do have a friend crush on Maggie." Callie admits. "Look I'm sorry that I hit you with all of this at once. Sometimes my filter doesn't work and I just blurt out whatever is on my mind."

"I know, but you need to know that when you do that it sometimes freaks me out and I need time to process it." Arizona replies.

"Okay, I am going to work on that." Callie says sitting back and taking the blonde's hand in her own.


"Amelia?" Arizona calls out the next morning when she stops by the condo to change for work.

"Hold on, I'll be out in a minute." Amelia calls from her bedroom.

Not thinking anything about it, Arizona heads into her room to change, then hearing voices in the hall, she realizes that the brunette has an overnight guest. The blonde pauses at her door to see if she can recognize the voice.

The front door closes and then Arizona slips her sweater on and steps out in to the hall.

"He didn't have to leave." She says.

Jumping at the voice behind her, Amelia says, "Damn, you scared me. And yes, he did," she says turning on the coffee pot. "I need a shower, I'll see you later."

Watching her go back to her room, Arizona feels badly about yesterday. Amelia must too since she brought some guy home last night. "Crap, I need to fix this."

Taking a post it out, she writes her a note and sticks it to the coffee maker. "lunch at 1 pm, I'm buying."


Walking into the locker room, Arizona's phone buzzes. "Lunch at noon? Deli down the street?"

Smiling, the blonde replies, "perfect, see you there," she return texts.

Changing into scrubs, she hears the door open and turns to see Callie entering.

"Are you just getting here?" Arizona asks concerned.

"Yeah, Sofia had a melt down after you left, because she didn't get to say good bye to you this morning." Callie informs her.

"Oops, sorry Cal. I didn't want to wake her. I'll go down and see her before surgery." Arizona says moving in to kiss her.

"Hey, I meant what I said last night. I really want you to move back in, even if you feel like you need to stay in the guest room at first." Callie says softly.

"Calliope, I already have a roommate and a place to live. When I move back it's because we're together." Arizona replies easily, then sneaks in another light kiss. "Have an awesome day," she says as she leaves the locker room.

Smiling to herself Callie quickly changes into scrubs. She doesn't have any surgery scheduled and she's planning to work in the lab all day, but she's on call for the ER today so she wants to be ready.


Meredith enters the lab and stares at Callie a moment, waiting for her to notice her.

Glancing up slightly Callie is startled to see her. "Jesus Meredith, how long have you been standing there?" She asks.

"Not long. What's going on? I just saw Arizona in the daycare and she said you guys aren't going out Saturday. But the girls already have their sleepover planned out, Sofia has to sleep over." Meredith says firmly.

"Okay, Sofia will sleep over as planned." Callie replies and goes back to her work.

"So what's going on with you and Arizona?" Meredith asks.

"It was just a slight misunderstanding. We're fine. But she doesn't want to go out on Saturday, so they are going without us." Callie explains.

"Okay, well then you could come over and hang out with me and the kids." Meredith offers. "We could have a Mom's night in."

"Ha! Funny. I'll mention it to Arizona and let you know." Callie replies. Then suddenly both of their pagers go off. And they take off for the ER.


"Multiple car accident, we have a family in route, a father and two kids." Jackson says as the two surgeons approach the desk.

Waiting at the ambulance bay, Callie glances around and spots Arizona. "Are you on call for Peds?" she asks her.

"Yes, with Alex out of town, I am." She explains.

The first ambulance arrives and it's a seven year old with multiple lacerations and possible internal injuries, Meredith and Arizona take him.

The next one arrives and it's the father, his left side hip is shattered and he has a compound fracture of his fibula. Callie takes him into the trauma room and Stephanie joins her with two new interns. "Don't touch him or do anything until I tell you what to do." She says glaring at the interns. "Edwards get the portable xray in here and let's get a shot of his hip and leg. You, call up and book us an OR and tell them I need Bohkee." Callie yells at one of the interns.

"What's a Bohkee?" He asks.

"Just book the OR and have them find Bohkee, okay?" Edwards says coming back into the room with the portable xray.

Nodding the intern gets on the phone and relays the request.

As soon as the xrays are done, Callie hands the other intern the blood samples and tells her to run them to the lab and have them ran STAT. Then she yells to the rest of the people in the room to move, "We're going to OR...? She looks over at the intern who reserved the OR and he is confused a minute before he realizes what she's waiting for.

"OR 4," he replies loudly.

"Crap, not OR 4." Callie says under her breath.

"What's wrong with OR 4?" He asks Edwards as the cram into the elevator.

"I avoid that OR, because its the one that I was in after my car accident." Callie replies to him.


Okay, I'm just stopping here so I can post and Mom can get moved up to a room. I promise you another chapter tonight!
