Disclaimer: This is AU. I do not own any of the characters from Grey's Anatomy. I just manipulate them to my will. Also, any line or phrase or setting that seems remotely familiar from any other show, movie or book, also not mine.

AN: So to address a couple comments about last chapter being fluff… yes, it was. This is a live story, meaning it has no real set plot. Of course, getting married, honeymoon, kids were part of the picture but… besides that, I'm taking it where ever it goes. I threw in last chapter to set up for this one because I wanted it in Callie's POV. And since I had just done a Callie POV, I needed to do an Arizona POV before I could do this one. So… there is your answer. Now. On with the show. Enjoy!


Chapter 56

Callie's POV:

"Dr. Torres... are you sure-"

"She's coming. She told me she was coming and she's coming." I spit out, checking the clock on the wall for the tenth time in the last fifteen minutes. Addison was suppose to be here also but was called in for an emergency surgery so now I'm sitting in this cold room, my ass hanging out of a hospital gown, my feet in the stirrup… waiting. Waiting for my wife and holding up Dr. Fields from the rest of her busy day. …damn it Arizona, where are you?

Another five minutes come and go, and Lucy sighs while looking at her watch. "Dr. Torres, please, I-"

"She's coming." I plead. Finally, the door open and a flash of blonde hair catch my attention. Then I see the blood.

"Arizona." I gasp, nearly jumping off the bed and exposing my backside for all to see. "What happened to you?" The whole front of her, her hands and arms, are stained with blood and she seems a little off color.

"It's not mine." She says quickly. "There was a… woman in the parking lot." I can tell by the look in her eyes that she's a little out of it.

"Oh god." Lucy breathes out. "Umm… can I… Can I get you some uhhh, scrubs or something so you can change out of those?"

"Yeah, that'd be awesome. Thank you Dr. Fields." Arizona gives her the best fake smile she can and then the young doctor slips out the door. Arizona watches the door shut then looks back at me, and I can see fear in her eyes.

Reaching out for her to come to me, I start. "Are you sure-"

"Yeah, Calliope." She cuts me off "I'm fine. Just a little uhh… a little shaken." She says, and I watch as she subconsciously tries to rub her bloodied hands off on her shirt. I watch her. For a straight minute, I watch her. After unsuccessfully wiping her hands off, she starts chewing on her lip and her left hand starts to massage at her side. …uh oh.

"Arizona, come here." I whisper. She looks up at me and takes the last few steps forward. I just so happen to notice that she has started favoring her right leg, the one she got shot in. "Are you really alright?" I ask when her face is a half of a foot away.

"Yeah… I uhhh, just… images keep flashing in my head." She answers as she tries to shake her mind free. "I haven't seen that much blood since… since umm-"

"Since me?" I prompt, realizing what has made my usually strong wife so upset. Arizona just nods tightly, her eyes glazing over as another image assaults her mind. "Arizona." She shakes herself again, trying to wipe the last remaining pixels from her head. "I'm right here, ok? …We don't have to do this today. We can wait until-"

She cuts me off. "No, Calliope. No. I'm ready. Really, I just-" And then she is cut off by the reappearance of Dr. Fields. The young doctor hands off a pair of scrubs to my wife, who steps behind a curtain and strips while Lucy readies her equipment.

"So, babe. What you think?" Arizona asks as she walks out from behind the curtain, navy blue scrubs donned on her tight body.

"Ohhh… very sexy, Dr. Robbins." I play which gets a genuine smile out of the blonde.

"Now now Dr. Torres, control yourself. We are in our place of employment. No hanky panky please." Arizona continues her act. "Unless you page me to the on call room later."

Rolling my eyes, I ask. "Hanky panky? Really cowgirl?" Lucy just sits on her stool below me, quietly chuckling to herself.

"Alright, Dr. Torres. If you could put your feet in the stirrups, we'll get you good and pregnant." Lucy says, interrupting our bickering back and forth. Arizona takes her spot by my side as I spread em for the doctor. A few minutes of being poked and prodded, and we are finally set up.

"How you feeling, Calliope?" Arizona whispers from right next to me, her hands gripping one of mine.

"Anxious. Nervous. Excited. Sick to my stomach." I list them off.

Turning back to the monitor that shows my very ready uterus, Arizona replies "Good. I'm not the only one."

"Okay… I'm ready." Lucy says as we watch the tube move into position on the screen. "Tell me when."

Arizona and I lock eyes, exchange a small smile and whisper "Now." Dr. Fields pushes the plunger and delivers the already fertilized eggs into my body.

"Alright. You are now implanted. Congratulations." Lucy says with a big smile. Arizona leans in and gives me a series of soft kisses, murmuring love and devotion in my ear as all the equipment is pulled out of my body. When I feel a pillow being shoved under my ass, I look down. "Keep your hips propped up for twenty minutes. Then you are free to leave. Give those guys some time to get settled, take the rest of today and tomorrow, relax. Then you should be good. And in two weeks time, feel free to take a pregnancy test." Our doctor states as she scribbles in my chart. Looking up at two bright sets of eyes, she finishes. "Good luck. I hope it takes." With a wink, she is out of the room.

Two hours later, I am at home, sitting upside down on the couch in the den, my head hanging off the couch cushions and my legs sticking up in the air. I know Lucy said that twenty minutes was enough, and being a doctor myself, I know I'm being a little extreme….but I'm letting gravity help as much as possible.

"What? !" Arizona exclaims as she walks into the room. "Calliope, what are you doing?" She asks, taking a seat next to me.

"Relaxing, like Dr. Fields said to." I reply, having to concentrate really hard on the TV in order to read the upside down clues to Jeopardy. Arizona watches me for a couple minutes, then the next thing I know, blonde hair is hanging off the side of the couch next to me, both of us looking like morons.

"This is so not relaxing." Arizona mumbles. "All the blood is rushing to my head." I start laughing my ass off while Arizona starts commenting on our new upside down world. We race each other to read the clues that come up on the TV, and I nearly die when Arizona drowns herself by attempting to drink beer upside down.

"Oh god it burns…" She cries as she tries to blow the alcohol that spilled into her nose. She pulls the navy scrubs up from her body and rubs her face, revealing her smooth, tight stomach. "You know… you have it pretty easy at the hospital." She says after clearing the burning liquid from her pores.

"Oh really?" I ask incredulously as my fingers trace invisible patterns over her now showing midsection.

"Yeah. You get to wear pajama's all day. …I swear, these are the most comfortable things I've ever worn." She says, snuggling up closer next to my side. "Not to mention they show off your ass pretty nicely as well."

"Oh… while you were in the kitchen, I talked to Addison." I say, my mind going from scrubs to surgery to blood to my wife covered another persons blood. "She said that the woman you brought in made it."

"She did? That's so great. And her baby?" Arizona asks softly.

"Addison had to deliver the baby. It's touch and go for her, but we have some of the best pediatrics around and Addison feels good about her chances." I reply.

"A girl. …I hope she makes it." Arizona whispers. Our hands subconsciously find each others and our finger intertwine, needing that closeness. "Do you… do you think that it'd be ok if I went to visit Melanie in a couple days? I mean, do you think she would want to see me?" Arizona asks after a couple minutes.

Turning my head to catch those blue eyes, I reply "Of course she would." She smiles then moves in for our first ever upside down kiss. When she pulls away, I ask "Do you think its too soon for me to feel pregnant?" My hand rubbing my belly softly, picturing it swelling a little bit every day.

Arizona places a hand on top of mine and answers "Maybe to you doctors but… I don't think so, no." We spend the rest of the night like that, watching movies and shows from a new perspective and just talking, planning, imagining our future with a little baby running around.

its really happening.


AN2: Hmmm… will it take the first go round, or not? Let me know what you guys think.
