Notes: As promised another chapter! I am probably going to have to slow down a bit on updates because we are getting caught up to what I have written so far! But, encouragement always helps me write more and faster ;), so if you have comments or thoughts please leave them! As of now, I plan on updating again on Monday, but I'm a sucker so I'm sure you all can convince me to post earlier ;) Again, love you all and thank you so so much for your kind and amazing comments. They really mean the world to me and I really appreciate them!

Callie didn't know why she climbed into bed with Arizona or was comforting her the way she was. She just knew it was what she needed to do. There wasn't a second thought or a question when she found herself walking to her and wrapping her arms around the sobbing woman. It was just natural. However, now she was more confused than ever before. Still lying in bed with her arms wrapped around the sleeping pediatric surgeon, Callie felt more out of control than ever before.

What is going on? Like seriously? Should I stay here and hold her? Is that weird? Do I just get up and leave her? Why is everything so confusing with this woman? Wait wait wait. This isn't right. This woman has been through so much. She opened up to you, and she needs someone with her now. Screw your weird thoughts and feelings and just be here for her. Don't think, just do.

The only person who has ever made Callie have internal arguments with herself like this has been Arizona Robbins. Yet somehow it seems that the conclusion she always comes to is the one that will cause Arizona the least pain.

Okay, Callie. Take a moment and breathe. You were crying. She was crying. We are all a mess here, and we all need a minute. She's obviously been keeping a lot of that in, and it took a lot out of her to let it out. I just gotta let her sleep and be here for her when she wakes up. Yeah, that's what I should do… I think.

I'm starting to think she's not going to leave, and I really have to pee! I was hoping faking sleep would get her to finally up and go, but apparently, she is sticking with me until I'm awake? I don't know! Why is everything so complicated? I really hate people seeing this side of me, and I don't want to talk to her anymore about it. I just want to go home and pretend this never happened, but somehow here she is lying in bed with me and holding me. Oh my gosh! What if someone walks in and sees us? That will definitely flip her out… right? They'll assume we are together and that will make her freak. I don't get it. I'm so good at figuring people out, why is she so hard though. I never know what's coming next with her and I never know what she's thinking. This is just so complicated! I just want to pee and sleep!

Arizona decided to slowly turn on her back and somewhat free herself from Callie's grip. Callie seemed to sense the movement immediately and let go of Arizona but didn't get up.

"Hey. How're you feeling?" Callie asked.

"I'm good. Sorry, I didn't mean to keep you here. You can totally go." Arizona replied.

"Oh. I can go. Sorry" Callie said and began to get up and get out of bed. Arizona internally cursed herself realizing it sounded like she didn't want Callie there. Although that was the truth, it probably wasn't for the reasons that Callie was thinking. Before Callie could fully get out of bed, Arizona grabbed her arm causing Callie to turn towards her even though she was seated facing away from Arizona.

"No. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound like I don't appreciate you staying. Thank you. I just don't want to be keeping you." Arizona said.

Both typically loud, opinionated, and never soft-spoken women were acting the complete opposite of their normal personalities. It was as if neither of them knew what to do or how to act. It was clear that a lot had changed between them in the last few days, and neither of them knew how to deal with it. This was one of the many consequences of telling someone you only have one leg and about your tragic backstory that Arizona really didn't like. The constant apologizing from one woman to another for no reason and the inability for either to communicate their emotions was slowing building tension and confusion between the two that was going to be very hard to escape. Usually, when Arizona was in situations like this, she would just walk away and never look back. If it was a girlfriend, she'd break up and move on. If it was a friend, she'd do the same thing. Arizona wasn't one to deal with things like this. She wasn't someone who would grow bonds or attachments easily, so it was easy for her to break things off and move on when things got difficult or uncomfortable. However, Arizona couldn't do that in this situation. She couldn't just remove Callie from her life. She had to work with and see this woman every day. This was another thing on the growing list of reasons Arizona doesn't like it when the people she works with know about her leg. She only has one person in her life that she has a connection with and that's Jo. Now, she is forced to have some form of connection with Callie so that they can move past this awkwardness and be able to work together without things being weird. But obviously, the day to work through all this isn't today. It's been an emotional rollercoaster of a day for both women, and they just need a good night's rest before they even begin to think about what will become of them moving forward.

Callie was still sitting on the edge of the bed looking at Arizona. It was clear she didn't know what she should say or do next.

"Okay, here's the thing. I'm sure you have a lot of questions and a lot of stuff you want to process. I'm feeling the same way. Honestly, not many people that know about my leg are still in my life, and that is kind of done for a reason. However, I don't want us to be weird and uncomfortable around each other forever so this is the plan; let's both go home and get some sleep. We both have obviously had a very hard and draining day, and we could use some rest. This will give us both some time to process everything. Don't think you're the only one feeling uncomfortable." As Arizona said the last sentence she could see Callie getting a defensive look on her face, and she could tell that Callie was about to interrupt her, but before she could, Arizona put out a hand to get her to stop and continued, "And don't try and pretend you aren't uncomfortable. This is a weird situation. I'm uncomfortable, you're uncomfortable, I'm sure the pigeon sitting on the railing outside the window is uncomfortable," Thankfully this last sentence got a slight grin out of Callie. "So we are both going to go home and figure this out. How about we meet on Sunday and we talk. This gives us a day to figure ourselves out before we communicate again. That way you can either come up with a million and one questions you want to ask me or decide you want to pretend you know nothing, and we will just move on, although as much as I prefer the latter, I have found that it typically doesn't work. This will also give me time to figure out how I want to move forward, and we can go from there. How does that sound?"

Callie stared at Arizona as a grin started to form on her face. The confusion became evident in Arizona's face as to why Callie was smiling. As Callie saw this, her smile grew wider and her eyebrow arched in an inquisitive way,

"You don't have many friends do you Robbins?" Callie said.

Arizona's face became confused and hurt at the same time "What the hell does that mean?"

Before Arizona continued to get more upset and hurt, Callie cut her off and said, "I didn't mean anything bad by it, but it's clear that you don't let people in often. You are turning this into some sort of contract, not that I mind, but it's not usually how I plan to hang out with my friends."

Now Arizona had a grin and an arched eyebrow, "Friends huh? So we're friends now? I thought you hated me."

Callie's cheeks went a bit red, and her face faltered for a second because of how quickly Arizona turned the tables on her, "First of all, I never hated you." Before she could continue she saw Arizona's smile widen and Arizona put on her best questioning face as if to say "really? Don't lie to us both now." Callie couldn't help but smile and say "Fine, I wasn't too fond of you, but I didn't know much about you back then. Second, yes, I would consider us friends at this point. I don't typically just lay in bed with a random stranger and hold them."

Arizona could tell her cheeks were getting red from that comment. She hated seeming weak, and having Callie vocalize that she had to hold her didn't help her feel better. But Arizona decided to power through the feeling and tease Callie at the moment.

"But you often lay in bed and hold your friends?" Arizona said with a teasing smile on her face. She couldn't see it well but she knew that made Callie a bit red. She wanted to stop before this went too far and she did something she regretted.

"Okay, we're friends," Arizona said.

"Great, now instead of making a contract, why don't you just ask me if I'm free and want to hang out with you on Sunday" Callie replied.

Arizona's face was clearly one of annoyance, and she hoped Callie was kidding about wanting her to ask her to hang out again. It really is hard for Arizona to make friends and let people in. She really hated how well Callie could see through her but Callie wasn't backing down. Her grin remained, and her eyebrow remained arched. If Arizona wanted to get out of bed and to a bathroom, she needed to just do what Callie was asking her to do.

Arizona's face became defeated, and she looked at her hands playing with the hem of the blanket as she said "Fine. Do you want to hang out with me Sunday?"

Even though it was Callie that told Arizona to ask her to hang out, Arizona was still nervous about her answer.

"Sure, I'd love to hang out with you on Sunday. Joe's bar, 7 pm?"

"Sounds good," Arizona replied.

Callie didn't seem like she was making any move to get off the bed, and she was essentially trapping Arizona in there like the bars that are put on toddlers beds so they don't fall.

"Umm Callie?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you mind getting up? I really have to pee, and I'm kinda trapped."

With that statement, Callie jumped up and turned immediately red out of the embarrassment that she was keeping Arizona trapped in the bed. Callie's reaction made Arizona laugh.

"Sorry! I didn't realize, I was just... umm, sorry" Callie was just rambling at this point. Arizona continued to laugh harder.

"No worries Calliope. See you Sunday" Arizona said with a wink as she left Callie alone in the on-call room.

Where the hell did that confidence come from? First of all, she's not gay, remember? Second, how did we go from being so awkward to kind of flirty? I really need to talk to Jo again. Actually, I really just need a good night's sleep.
