AN : Hey there ! It's been a while, I know but I've been pretty busy at work.

But I'm back and I hope You still like the story.
Don't hesitate to tell me if you're stil interested in it !

Have a pleasant reading !

Arizona was reviewing several cases in her office. She was focused on her paperwork. It was the best thing she can do when she was at work and not treating any patient.

She hadn't heard from Callie for six days now. Not a call, not a text, not an opportunity to see her over a patient or in hallways...nothing. But in about an hour, Arizona had to pick Sofia up for her week and she didn't know if the little girl would be at the day care or at Callie's.

But she wasn't worried or angry. She wanted to let her time to calm down and to come back to her.

A strong knock on the door made her jumped.

« Hey there ! » a friendly voice said. « Can you welcome the new head of cardio of Virginia Mason Medical Center ! »

« Congrats ! » Arizona mumbled.

« Wow ! You're a very supportive friend Arizona ! » Teddy sighed. « Come on ! Cheer up ! I want to celbrate ! Found a sitter, I'm inviting you and Callie for a girl's night in the dark areas of Seattle ! »

« I can't tonight, I have Sofia. » Arizona said, returning to her work.

« That's why I told you to call your sitter ! Come on ! I need fun ! »

« I'm sorry Teddy, but I haven't seen my daughter for a week and I want to spend our first night together with her. » Arizona replied.

Teddy looked confusedly at her friend. Before she left a few weeks earlier, she and Callie were in love, secretely but happily. The fact that the blonde hadn't seen her daughter for a week take her back months ago, when the two exes wives were officialy sharing their daughter custody.

Understanding that something was going on, Teddy entered the room and sat in front of her friends, closing her labtop to get her attention.

« Tell me. What's going on ? » She asked.

« Hey ! I need to finish it ! » Arizona said. « Besides, nothing happen. »

« Arizona Robbins, don't play that game with me ! » Teddy warned her. « Why having your daughter seems so 'official' ? I thought that since you were back together, you could ... »

« Callie is mad at me. I haven't hear from her for days. » Arizona confessed. « I'm waiting for her to cool down, and then we'll see. »

« What have you done ! » Teddy yelled.

« I have tried to make her and mother talk. Her parents were in town, they invited us for diner because I saved a friends of them. It's a long story... But when we arrived, she told them we were back together. Then she freaked out and wanted to leave. I told her that she should listen to what her mother wanted to say. She got mad and she left. » Arizona explained. « She's not happy because she think I took her mother's side instead of hers. »

« I thought she didn't talk to her mother... So why... »

« I just hope that the woman was sincerely trying to get back in her daughter's life and wanted to make peace with her. But apparently I was wrong. She's just a stupid bitch. » Arizona said.

« I don't get it all, but why didn't you try to talk to her ? » Teddy asked.

« I don't want to get into big talks. They lead to nothing good and i'm sure that some old crap that happened between us would be bring back and I don't want to do it. I let her alone, and when she will be ready to talk normaly about it, she'll come to me. » Arizona explained.

« And what if she never come, or if she is waiting for you to come to her ? » Teddy asked to her friend.

« Please, can we stop talking about that. I'm not in the mood and I have to go to the day care to pick up my baby. » Arizona said, standing hup from her chair. « You can walk with me if you want. »

Leaving the office, the two surgeons walked to the day-care. As they were about to approached the last hallway, they met Callie, leaving the room with Sofia in her arms. She didn't noticed the two blondes but Sofia immediately saw her Mama.

« Mama ! » She screamed in Callie's ears.

« Sofia ! Keep quiet baby ! » She said as she turned and put her on the floor.

The little run towards Arizona, who avoided her lover's gaze.

« Hey ! That's my girl ! » She said as she kneeled to welcome her in her arms. « I miss you this week baby ! How are you doing ? »

« Hey Teddy ! » Callie greeted her friend. « So you're back for good in town ? »

« Yes ! I am ! And that's why i was looking for you ! I'm inviting you and this one here for a girl's night ! » Teddy said, pointing Arizona. « So call your sitter and let's get the party started »

« If there's tequilla, I'm all in ! » Callie said.

« So you're not avoiding her anymore ? » Teddy asked.

« Who are you talking about ? » Callie asked, on purpose.

« Callie... » Arizona said as she got back up. « If you don't want me to come tonight, just say it. »

« I don't want you to come tonight. See how it is ? » Callie coldly replied. « So how about tonight ? »

« Uh... I... Meet me at Joe's at 8 ? » Teddy mumbled.

« Allright ! » Callie said. « Can I come with Bailey ? I was supposed to hang out with her tonight. »

« Off course... » Teddy said.

« Sofia, you'll stay with Mama tonight. I see you tomorrow ? » Callie said.

« I thought she would stay with me this week, as usual... » Arizona said, nearly apologizing.

Callie eventually looked at her. It was a look full of anger and of lack of understanding. Arizona felt Callie totaly tense. She looked at Teddy who was staring at Callie, surprised by her friends furious gaze.

« Are you okay Callie ? » Teddy asked.

Suddenly, Callie bursted into tears, taking Arizona in her arms. Taken aback by that sudden reaction, Teddy stepped back and look at the two of them. Scared by her mother sob, Sofia began to cry too.

« Can you take her Teddy please ? » Arizona asked.

« Which one ? » Teddy replied.

« Sofia... Go to my place, I join you later » Arizona said, giving Teddy her keys and leading a sobbing Callie to the nearest supply closet. Closing the door behind them, Arizona protectively wrapped her arms around Callie and let her calm down.

« Are you okay ? » She asked carefully. « You don't have to talk if you don 't want. I'll stay with you if you want, Or I'll let you. »

Callie broke the embrace and turned her eyes away from Arizona.

« If you want me to stay, just say it... Otherwise, I'm going to go. » Arizona said, upset by the lack of communication from Callie. « I'm sorry but I thought we were over it. What happened to the 'always talk about the things that upset us' ? I can hear anything Callie. So tell me... »

« I... I'm mad at you. » Callie suddenly said. « You don't have to tell me what i should do. »

« Okay... » Arizona replied. « I was pretty sure it was that. »

« And now I'm mad at me, because I'm acting like a teenage girl... » She confessed. « I should have calm down sooner. I'm sorry. »

« Don't be sorry Calliope. I told you I'll give you the time you need. Are you allright now ? » Arizona asked carefully.

« How can you be so understanding and patient with me ? I mean after the crash, I've been pushing you for everything... »

« Stop with the crash. It's over. At least i'm over it. I have enough thing that bring me back to it. And don't compare it with what you're feeling. There's no way we're going down that road remember ? No more sorry, leaving the past and just enjoy the moment ! » Arizona said, giving her most magic smile to Callie.

« I try. But you see, it's always coming back to us. » Callie said sadly.

« I know. And even if we're trying to build something new, our old habits and our dark memories will always be a part of us and of what we are now. We just have to deal with them and not to let them influence anything. Okay ? » Arizona said, taking Callie in her arms and kissing her cheek softly. « So go back home and get ready for a lady's night with Teddy. You need it. Me, I'm going to my place and spend the night with our baby. She need one of us to be with her and I need to be with her. »

Opening the door, Arizona smiled and left Callie alone in that closet.

…...

Arizona and Sofia were having a diner together for the first time in a week. The little girl was happy to be with her Mama but was still uspset by seeing her Mommy burst in tears a few hours earlier. Noticing her daughter playin with her food in the plate and not eating a lot, Arizona tried to asked her what was wrong.

« Why Mommy was crying ? Are you fighting again ? » She asked sadly.

« Oh no baby, don't think about it » Arizona replied, stroking Sofia's hair. « She had a lot going on you know. You know that she doesn't get along well with her mother, your grandmother. Remember ? We talked about it. »

« Yeah, I remember. » Sofia replied.

« So, she saw her last week, and things are complicated. So mommy is upset, and sad. But she will be better, because you're going to be good to her, aren't you ? »

« Yay ! » Sofia yelled. « But what am I going to do to make her smile ? »

« What about making her a wonderful diner tomorrow night with your babby-sitter Kelly ? She will help you to make it, I'll call her. » Arizona said.

« Why won't you make it with me ? » Sofia asked.

« Because I … I've got a lot of work and I can't be there right on time. I'm sorry baby... » Arizona lied.

« Ok... But it would have been better with you Mama... »

« Next time, i promise ! » Arizona replied, kissing her daughter's head.

…...

Entering her third bar of the night, Teddy and Callie settled at a table, ordering beers. Bailey had left them a little earlier so the two women were alone for the first time since Callie's break down.

Ordering beers at the counter, Teddy get back to a thoughtful Callie.

« So... What were you thinking about ? » Teddy asked.

« I don't really know. » Callie replied. « I'm just so mad at my mother and at the impact she still have on me ! »

« Arizona tell me what happen. It's so unbelievable that she's like that with you. We are in 2015 for god's sake ! » Teddy said. « I know that she's religious, but she's supposed to love you for... »

« For who I am... You know what, I don't want to talk about it anymore. She's back in Miami and she's far from here. » Callie replied. « I'm not going to ruin our night because of her !'

« And what about Arizona ? Are you still mad at her ? » Teddys asked.

« Of course not. But you know me... I've been so stubborn. I was waiting for her to do the first step... »

« And she was letting you coping your anger. When are you going to stop your little hide and seek game Callie ? I thought you were talking about everything now to prevent your previous mistakes... » Teddy told her friend. « And I'm not even talking about the fact that you're hidding your relationship... »

« I don't know, but we need to do it for the moment, we're not ready to get exposed to everybody's judgement. » Callie explained. « But I know that I overeact this time... »

…...

The following day, Arizona left her daughter at the daycare, as usual hand had texted Callie to let her know where Sofia was. She had a big day and was trying to focus on her next surgery. On her way to her office, she met Callie talking with Meredith near the nurses station.

« Hi ! » Arizona greeted the two woman, smiling.

« Hey ! » Meredith replied politely. Noticing Callie's silence, Meredith raised her eyebrow.

« What was that ? » She asked Callie.

« What ? »

« Why don't you just say Hello ? » She insited.

« Oh... It was not on purpose. I saw her yesterday and she texted me earlier. » Callie replied.

« Okay... Is everything's allright between you ? » Meredith asked again.

« Yeah, great... Come on we are late for the meeting with Hunt. » Callie said, trying to change the subject.

…...

After a long day, Callie was finally over. She just wanted to pick her daughter and get back home. Of course she needed to talk with Arizona but she was stuck for a long surgery in the OR, so it would have to wait.

Entering the day-care, she looked for Sofia but didn't see her.

« Hey, excuse me Nancy, where's Sofia ? » She asked one of the nurse.

« Hello Dr Torres. She was here a few seconds ago. Don't worry, she's probably in the bathroom. I'm going to pick her up ».

Wainting for her daughter to be back, Callie felt that something was wrong. She followed the nurse in the bathroom and called her.

« Sofia, come on baby, we have to go... »

« She's not here... » The nurse replied. « I'm going to check in the rest room... »

Panicking Callie immediately went in the hallway and screamed her daughter's name.

« Dr Torres she's not there... You're sure Dr Robbins didn't take her ? »

« Of course I am... Call the security immediately ! » Callie cried as she took her phone and asked to be in touch with Arizona's OR.

…...

Totally focused on her patient, Arizona was surprised when a nurse told her that Callie wanted to talk to her urgently.

« What is it Dr Torres... I'm in the middle of a tricky surgery... »

« Arizona, It's... I'm sorry... Sofia is missing »

Feeling the world collapsing around her, Arizona became suddenly very pale. She needed to grab something to stay up. Looking at Alex in front of her, she swallowed hard.

« What are you still doing here ? Go ! I got it » Alex told her.

Arizona nodded silently and left the OR in a big hurry, totaly devastated by what she just heard.
