3 is a Perfect Number

Once they were safely at the hospital, Callie got Arizona checked in, then took the kids to her office because being in labor was not the best way for them to see their mom. She got an intern to watch them until Allison could pick them up and went back to her wife.

Callie was sort of expecting yelling or freaking out like when she was in labor with Madison, but Arizona wasn't angry, she was sad and weepy. This was way worse. Callie could take screaming and cursing, but she felt so horrible that Arizona was a hysterical mess.

"It hurts Callie and and and it has-n't e-e-even st-started," Arizona sniffled out as Callie sat next to her holding her hand.

"Baby its okay. You are going to do great and pretty soon we will have another beautiful child."

"I can't do thiss. I just…I—I'm not strong enough."

"Yes, you can. You are the strongest woman I know and I will be right here by your side through the whole thing."

"What if something goes wrong? I'm a doctor and I know the likelihood of something going wrong."

"Arizona, you just need to relax. Everything is fine right now and we can handle anything. Just relax," Callie soothed her.

She began giving Arizona a shoulder rub and whispering words of reassurance in her ear. Addison was able to be their OB and she was on her way over from Seattle Presbyterian. Arizona was hoping Andrea would not get word that she was here because that was exactly something she did not need. And just as she was thinking about how miserable that encounter would be, Andrea walked in.

"Arizona, I came as soon as I heard," Andrea said totally concerned. Arizona stiffened and squeezed Callie's hand much harder.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Callie threw at the woman.

"I'm the head of OB and when a high priority patient like Doctor Robbins is admitted, they call me."

"Well you are not needed."

"Oh really. I'm the best. Don't you want the best for your wife?" Andrea said coyly.

"Andrea, don't start," Arizona managed to get out.

"No go ahead. Of course I want the best for MY wife, which is why I got the best. Addison Montgomery is on her way over right now."

"You could have just used me because I am a fabulous OB and this is my hospital."

Arizona felt Callie starting to get increasingly upset, so she knew she needed to distract her. Before Callie could respond, she let out a louder groan. Callie immediately turned her attention to Arizona.

"Oh baby, are you okay? What can I do?"

"Just come closer please," Arizona said pulling on her arm. Callie jumped into bed behind her and totally paid no attention to Andrea now. Her wife was the main concern.

Addison came into the room and narrowed her eyes at Andrea, "Ah Dr. Thomas, what are you doing here?"

"I'm the head of the department and I was going to take this case."

"No need. I'm here now and when people want the best they call me, so you are no longer necessary," Addison started, "Besides, they definitely don't need insane stalker ex-girlfriends in the delivery room now do they?"

"Excuse me?" Andrea said as Callie and Arizona gasped.

"You heard me. You do not need to be here, so please leave. And don't come back!" Addison said in her don't mess with me tone.

Andrea knew she was extremely serious, so she reluctantly left the room.

Addison turned towards the couple as if nothing had happened and smiled cheerfully.

"Okay ladies, let's check things out and see how our little bugger is doing in there."

She had been really good about just using names like bugger so that she didn't spoil the sex for them. They wanted to be surprised, but really hoped it would be a little girl. Either way they would be happy and love the baby just as much.

As Addison checked everything out, Arizona caught a worried look flash across her face.

"Oh no, I know that look. Addison, what's wrong with our baby?"

"Hold on Arizona, I just want to get a really clear picture," Addison said as she moved the ultrasound wand to a different position.

"Calliope, I told you. Oh my god something is terribly wrong with our baby!" Arizona said starting to panic and breathe very heavily.

"Arizona, calm down and just wait for her to finish."

"Okay Arizona, you need to stay calm. You freaking out is not good for the baby and won't make things any better. The baby seems to be in a breach position and usually I would try to turn it, but the cord is wrapped around the neck so it is not safe."

"What? This cannot be happening right now," Arizona screamed clearly not doing so well at staying calm.

"What does that mean? What can you do?" Callie asked Addison looking concerned.

"I am going to do an emergency C-section to make sure the baby stays safe. I will go alert the OR and send someone in to prep you. Don't worry. Everything will be okay and I'm the best."

"How can you tell me not to worry? An emergency C-section means it's serious."

"It means that I am taking the precaution to make sure I give you a healthy little baby. It is just a little bump in the process," Addison assured her as she left the room.

Arizona was full on crying again as Callie tried to comfort her, but to be honest, she was freaking out a bit now too. She didn't want to let Arizona see it and was trying to be the strong one, but she couldn't help it, she was worried.

"Calliope. I knew something was wrong. What if something happens? I couldn't handle that."

"Nothing is going to happen. You can't think that way. Our baby will be fine and this just means we get to see him or her sooner."

"I can't handle this right now. I just wanted a normal birth and for everything to go the way it was supposed to."

"I know hun, me too. Sometimes things happen, but everything will be fine," Callie said trying to assure herself too as she lay sweet kisses on Arizona's neck and cheeks.

Addison got them into the OR within ten minutes and got Callie to scrub in so she could sit beside Arizona's head and see what was going on.

"Alright Arizona, you are numbed, so I am just going to get in there and in no time at all you will be able to meet your baby."

"Hear that Ari, we are about to be parents again," Callie said as she ran her fingers through Arizona's hair.

"I'm scared Calliope," Arizona said looking up at her with huge teary eyes.

"I know me too, but it is all going to be okay."

Addison quickly started the surgery and in no time at all Callie could see her pulling a baby out, but she didn't hear a cry.

"Why isn't she crying?" Arizona said totally panicking.

Addison quickly cut the cord and rushed her over to the side of the room. Callie moved over to where she was and saw that it was a baby girl, but she didn't look that good.

Addison immediately began working with oxygen and some other things Callie was totally unfamiliar with to try and get her breathing.

"Addison, please tell me she will be okay!" Callie panicked as she looked back at her wife who was crying.

Addison couldn't answer her right away and just kept doing what she was doing.

Callie didn't want to leave her baby, but Arizona needed her and the little girl was in Addison's capable hands.

"Shh. Arizona its okay, sweetie, it's a girl. We have a baby girl and she's beautiful."

Just then they heard a loud cry and Addison say, "oh thank god."

She cleaned up the baby a bit and checked the stats, reassuring herself that everything was fine, then brought her over to the table.

"Okay Mommies. You have a gorgeous little baby girl."

Callie took her in her arms and brought her up to Arizona's head as Addison moved to close up. They spent the time just loving their little girl. Arizona was still crying, but she assured Callie these were tears of joy.

Addison finished up and said, "Okay we need to take her to get her checked out and get you back to your room. You should sleep and rest up after all that."

"I don't want to leave her," Callie said looking down at their angel.

"She will be fine, I promise." Addison cooed as she took the baby into her arms, "Won't you little lady."

Arizona had fallen asleep back in her room and Callie drifted off in the chair beside the bed holding her hand. They had officially decided on a name and couldn't wait until they could put in on her birth certificate. Not too long later, Addison woke Callie up as she wheeled the baby into the room.

"She got the clean bill of health from peds and is safe to come in here with you two now."

"Amazing, Thank you so much Addie," Callie said as she pulled her into a hug.

"No problem. Has a name been picked out?"

"We just confirmed it and when Arizona wakes up we can tell everyone."

Callie took the sleeping baby out of her carrier and sat down as she held her in her arms. This was perfection. She was so little and Callie just sat there looking at her as she daydreamed about how she would look exactly like Arizona. She couldn't wait to see if she had dimples and blue eyes because even though the combination was deadly when it came to Callie saying no, that is exactly what she wanted. Arizona finally stirred and opened her baby blues to take it all in.

"Hey," she said weakly as her hand reached out for them.

"Hey sweetheart. How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay. Kind of sore, but just glad she's fine."

Callie carefully moved on to the bed a little bit so that Arizona could fully be a part of the moment.

"You want to tell her the name we picked out?" Callie said as she ran her fingers across the baby's head.

"Natalie Marie Robbins-Torres, welcome to the world baby girl," Arizona said happily as she kissed her head.
