AN: Thank you all so much for your reviews and follows/favorites. It is appreciated. I am a bit shy when it comes to my writing so it's nice to get constructive criticism and encouragement. I really have never allowed people to read my writing before now and I have never writeen a fanfiction. On that note, I've never written smut before and I am not sure how comfortable I am with it. That being said, I think a Calzona fanfic requires a bit of smut so we will get there if you stay with me. I am making no promises about how good the smut writing will be. You guys are getting a lot of firsts from me so hang on.

Alright, on with the story. I have to warn this chapter is a bit darker and a bit different from previous chapters. I absolutely love Teddy, she is one of my favorite characters on the show. I stopped watching Grey's when Arizona left so I don't know much about Teddy's story line now but I made up a past for her that fits this story. Trigger warning for some violence and suicide. Nothing is terribly graphic and I do not read or write about sexual assaults so rest assured that is not going to occur. I want this to mostly be an enjoyable read but I also want to touch on some real life topics. That being said, I am not calling out any religion. I am not a religious person and I am very open to all religious beliefs, I simply chose Catholicism because Callie is Catholic and her family wasn't exactly open at first. Also, I have no intention of altering Callie's heritage, I know it must have seemed that way in the last chapter especially since I said she inherited her temper which was poor wording on my part. I forget you guys can't read my mind and though I have a plan, you don't know it. The grandmother she is referring to is going to be someone who is a grandmother figure but not blood related so please don't worry. I love Callie just the way she is. Please bear with me, everything has a purpose if you are patient.

Happy reading :)

Chapter Five

Teddy

"Oh , shoot! I'm getting food, I'll be back!" And with that Arizona was gone and it was just Teddy and Callie staring each other down awkwardly.

Green eyes met brown as neither wanted to show the first sign of weakness in this stare down. Just as Teddy decided she was going to be the bigger person, Callie erupted into a fit of giggles, leaving Teddy staring at her in bewilderment. The brunette's laughter rang out for several seconds before Teddy finally asked, "You alright, Cal? I'm not sure what is so funny."

Callie continued to laugh for a few seconds before she wiped her eyes and said, "I just got the image of the hamburger Arizona choked on hitting you in the face and the look of shock and disgust on your face."

Teddy couldn't help but join in on the laughter even though it was at her expense, but Callie wasn't done, "And do you know what makes it even better...I told Mark Sloan just yesterday that we couldn't have hamburgers together anymore."

"Ok, now you've lost me."

"Hamburgers was a euphemism for sex and then today, Arizona chokes on a damn hamburger." Callie bellows before another fit of laughter over takes her. This time Teddy lets out a genuine laugh and joins her. Once the two women gain control once again, Teddy turns serious once again, "Thank you, for helping Arizona earlier. I would never intentionally put her in danger. I love her. She's my best friend and basically a little sister to me."

"You don't have to thank me, Teddy. And I owe you an apology, I overreacted. I was just so scared when I saw the fear in her eyes and her lips turning blue."

"You know, I shouldn't say anything. Arizona would kill me. But I made a promise to someone very important to both me and Arizona that I would look out for her. I would protect her if I could. I would make sure she was supported and happy. They were silly promises to make, some of it is out of my control but I try to honor them. Arizona doesn't fall easily. I've never seen her look at someone the way I catch her looking at you, not since Andi. And I see you looking at her the same way Andi did." Teddy paused, waiting to see if she was holding Callie's attention. Seeing that Callie was a captivating audience still, Teddy continued, "That being said, if Arizona is opening herself up to you that way, it means you are very lucky. Not many get to see that side of her. She's good at protecting herself so please don't make her regret letting that wall down. If she's just an experiment to you, then let her go."

"She's not. Just an experiment, I mean. But Teddy, I'm not gay, I mean at least I never have been before. I think I like men and women, I'm still figuring it out."

"Well, you better figure it out quickly because I can tell, she really likes you, Callie."

"I like her too, Teddy, I really do. I just need some time to process but I like Arizona and I want to see what will happen."

"I can understand that. It's kind of a big revelation. And I'm Arizona's friend but I can be yours too."

"Teddy?"

"Yea?"

"Who is Andi?"

"That's Arizona's story to tell." Teddy replied but Callie noted the change in Teddy instantly. Her shoulders were stiffer as if there were now a weight on them.

"Ok, well, why Riz? What's that nickname all about?" Callie changed the subject.

"Again, Arizona's story to tell. Although I like to tease her about it, I can't betray her trust."

"You're a good friend, Teddy." Callie replied with a smile. She had to admire her loyalty even if it was pissing her off that she couldn't get her questions answered. She would just have to suck it up and go to the source. It was about time for them to have a talk anyway.

"I will tell you one thing. You can ask me one question. Pick your top one and I will answer honestly." Teddy said, softening her demeanor as she sensed Callie's frustration. She didn't know why but she really liked Callie.

"Hmmm…" Callie said, pretending to think but she knew which question she wanted to ask the most, she just wasn't sure Teddy would answer it. Deciding to alter it a bit and just go for it, she asked, "How do you know Andi?"

"She was my little sister."

"Was?" Callie asked sadly with a gulp noting the sadness flash through the green eyes.

"Yea, was, she died."

Callie opened her mouth to speak but Teddy held up a hand, "One question remember."

"I'm sorry Teddy. I have a sister and I can't imagine."

"Don't forget, eight thirty sharp, boys barracks, wear black." Teddy said abruptly as she stood, patting Callie on the leg as she did, and left the barracks.

Getting back to quarters, Teddy sighed heavily as she pulled out a photo from under her pillow. She was grateful that she had the room to herself for the moment as she sat on her twin bed, back against the wall and got lost in the photo. She ran her fingers over the image of her twenty one year old self and smiled sadly. She had her arm draped over her sister, clad in her high school graduation gown, her head thrown back in laughter, Arizona on her other side with a dimpled smile as she looked at Andi. Andi's dark hair hidden under her graduation cap and her green eyes shut in laughter. Beside Arizona were Tim, Nick, and Nick's little sister, Sara, all of them laughing and grinning in a youthful, carefree way. The six of them had been inseparable on army bases when stationed together. Teddy's finger lingered over her little sister. She hadn't known it at that moment but it would be Andi's last day on earth, not even a month after her 18th birthday.

***Nine Years Ago***

"Andromeda, Theodora! Get down here, we're going to be late!"

The girls continued to giggle as Andi teased Teddy about her boyfriend at college. The sisters had grown up very close and it had been hard for Andi when Teddy left three years ago for college. It had been harder still when Nick and Tim, along with Arizona, who graduated at sixteen had all left for college only a year after that.

"Come on, we better go before mom has a conniption or dad has a coronary." Teddy said with an eye roll, eliciting a giggle from her sister.

The family of four made their way to the restaurant to celebrate their youngest daughter's impending graduation in the morning. They would be meeting the Robbins and Gilbert families at a restaurant the family frequented. It was like they were family, they had been stationed so many places together over the years with kids close to the same age that became inseparable.

Never one to be late, the Robbins family was already seated at the reserved table and the Gilbert family arrived just as the Altman family sat down. Andi chose a seat between Arizona and Teddy where she grabbed Arizona's hand beneath the table discreetly but not unnoticed by her sister. Teddy smiled to herself. The two had been "secretly" dating since just before Arizona left for college. Secretly meaning, their parents didn't know but that didn't mean Teddy, Nick, Tim, and Sara didn't know. In fact, they helped keep their secret for them and even covered for them on occasion when needed. Arizona's parents were aware that she wasn't interested in boys and that she was actively dating women. They weren't shocked as Arizona had never been interested in men and it really didn't matter to the tough Colonel, all he cared about was that his little girl was happy. And part of keeping her happy was protecting her. He was from a "don't ask, don't tell" era and he didn't want anyone he served with to have an opinion about his beautiful, sweet, perky, smart daughter. Teddy's parents were part of the group that the Robbins felt they needed to protect Arizona from. They were good people, considered family even, but on this one thing they disagreed and so it was not talked about.

"So, what are you kids going to do tonight?" Barbara Robbins asked.

"We haven't really decided." Teddy responded.

"Well, I assume since the six of you are all together again for the first time since Christmas that you will get into some sort of trouble together." Daniel Robbins teased with a smile.

"Us? Trouble? Never." Arizona giggled at her dad.

"Of course not, bug." Her dad returned a knowing smile.

"I was thinking we could all go down to the beach and maybe have a bonfire." Tim replied.

"That sounds fun." Andi chipped in with a smile. The group all agreed. The Robbins family had stayed in Massachusetts after Daniel's last posting and retirement where the two Robbins kids, Teddy, and Nick had all graduated from high school. The Gilbert and Altman families had both been reassigned when Bob Altman and Rick Gilbert both re-enlisted. The two families had been posted together once again in North Carolina where Andi was graduating high school tomorrow and Sara would graduate the following year. The Robbins had all come down for the graduation and had rented a gorgeous beach house for four weeks like they had for the past two summers, having arrived three days ago. Teddy had flown in from Texas a week ago where she attended the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, her spring semester being the first to end. Tim and Nick had flown in from New York only that morning as the military school had less breaks and were more strict about leave. Arizona had flown in from Baltimore two days after Teddy and spent her first two nights at the Gilbert's residence until her parents arrived at the beach house they rented where she joined them and they awaited Tim's arrival together.

Arizona had made many trips to North Carolina over the past two years renting hotel rooms or staying with the Gilbert's. A few times she stayed at the Altman's but only if Teddy was home so as to not raise any suspicion. She had enjoyed her short weekend getaways to visit her girlfriend but they always felt rushed and she hated having to hide their relationship. Since Arizona had stayed at school for summer breaks to take as many classes as quickly as possible, Teddy and Andi had joined her in Baltimore the previous summer for two weeks and the couple had enjoyed being able to be more open. Arizona couldn't wait for Andi to finally join her in Baltimore at the end of the summer, as she would be returning in less than a month for the start of summer classes once again.

"Are you guys up for all these kids at the beach house?" Bob Altman asked with concern.

"Of course we are. Besides, they're hardly kids anymore. After tomorrow, only Sara is left to graduate." Barbara replied with a hint of sadness. She had struggled with both of her children graduating the same year and having an empty nest two years before she should have. Daniel grabbed her hand and kissed her temple affectionately.

"Bob, let the kids have some fun." Margaret Altman said to her husband.

"Andromeda, you need to be home early enough to get ready for tomorrow." Bob said to his youngest daughter.

"Yes sir." She said with a smile. The Altmans were by far the strictest parents, which was saying something coming from military families. Not that they weren't loving parents or good to their children but they had beliefs and expectations. Bob was a very religious man of Catholic faith. Margaret, also born Catholic, though not as devout as her husband, allowed her husband to make the rules where their children were concerned. She didn't see the harm in having her two daughters be a little more on the conservative side.

"Rick, Nora, you guys good with Sara and Nick hanging out at the beach house tonight?" Barbara asked.

"Of course." Nora smiled.

"As long as the boys sleep in a different area." Rick added knowing Sara had a massive crush on Tim and Nick had always been in love with Arizona. It seemed his children were smitten with the Robbins kids.

"Of course." Daniel said in earnest as if he would ever allow boys and girls to cosleep.

Later that night as the sun was getting ready to set, six friends sat on the beach with a fire going. They had a cooler hidden full of beer and cheap wine since Teddy had just turned twenty one and the boys were able to get a buddy to buy for them. All they had to do was wait for Barbara and Daniel to go to sleep.

Teddy sat and watched the sunset as she caught glimpses of Andi and Arizona snuggled up together, Arizona resting between Andi's legs with her back to Andi's front while Andi leaned against the cooler containing the PG beverages. They looked happy, in love. Teddy smiled as a wave of happiness for her sister and friend washed over her. She was so happy her sister would be moving away to attend the University of Baltimore. Teddy adored her parents but they were so hard on Andi, even more so than Teddy. Teddy had always been the typical type A, like Arizona. She followed the rules, attended church even though she had her doubts about that, she played by their rules. She was studious with top grades, punctual, quiet, and responsible. Things came easily, naturally for Teddy. Not that she didn't work hard because she did, but Andi worked harder. Andi got good grades but they were never good enough. She was a feisty toddler, a verbal child, an unruly teen at times that questioned things and pushed the limits. She did not blindly follow or even pretend to follow the Catholic faith much to her father's great distress. He was truly concerned for his daughter's well-being and even her soul at times. So, their parents handled it by being harder on her.

The six of them roasted a few marshmallows and told some not so convincing ghost stories. The boys were really laying it on thick, trying to scare the girls when Daniel and Barbara jumped out of the grass from behind a dune causing Tim to scream the loudest. Daniel, Barbara, and the group of friends roared with laughter as Timothy jumped and screeched.

"Not funny, Dad." Tim pouted.

"I found it quite funny. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that was my sister, Tammy, screaming in fear." Arizona replied with a smirk to her brother.

"We just came to say goodnight. Don't stay up too late." Barbara said going around the group and hugging each kid. She had watched them all grow up and she loved each of them like her own. It was bittersweet to think that after next year when Sara graduated, these little gatherings might all end. She kissed Arizona softly on the head and stroked her hair as she looked at Andi and said, "You make sure you're home by nine tomorrow or your parents will never let you visit us again."

"I'm taking her home myself, Mrs. Robbins." Teddy replied with a smile.

"Ok, you kids have fun. Tim, you and Nick are upstairs in the bunk room. The girls can have the living room for the night since it's Andi's big day tomorrow. I will be doing bed checks." Daniel warned.

"Yes dad." Tim said with an eye roll as the girls giggled.

"Arizona, that goes for you too missy. I will be doing bed checks and hand checks if necessary."

"Dad." Arizona sighed in embarrassment as she put her head in her hands. Her mother gave her one last kiss on the top of the head before she followed her beaming husband up the sandy pathway to the house.

"Party time." Nick said as he watched the couple enter the house in the distance.

Opening the cooler, the boys each took a can of cheap beer and handed Teddy one of the two bottles of strawberry boones farm. Teddy opened the bottle and took a giant swig, she was about to pass the bottle to her sister when she stopped, feeling as though she needed to be the responsible one and said, "Don't get drunk. It's your graduation tomorrow."

"God, Teds, don't be such a square. I can handle my alcohol." Andi replied with an eye roll to her big sister. Since everyone had left for college, Andi and Sara had found a new group of friends. Drinking on the weekends wasn't exactly a new thing for either of the girls. Besides, Andi was only six months younger than Arizona, even if she had graduated two years earlier.

"Oh really?" Both Arizona and Teddy asked at the same time, eyeing Andi intently.

Andi had sworn Sara to secrecy so the two had not divulged their recent weekend shenanigans to anyone but each other. Sara felt slightly guilty about the whole thing but she was the youngest of the six of them by a year and always the first to be left out. With everyone else off to college, it had felt good to be the person Andi shared her secrets with and it felt really good to be invited to parties. The two had experimented with more than alcohol and Sara felt a bit ashamed of keeping certain things from Arizona so she remained focused on the grains of sand at her feet.

Arizona desperately wanted to ask Andi about what her comment meant but didn't want to kill the mood or their plans for tonight. As far as she knew, Andi had never been drunk and had only had alcohol once with all of them last Christmas. Grabbing the bottle from Andi, Arizona took a giant swig and passed the bottle off to Sara. Arizona suddenly had a mischievous look on her face and exclaimed, "Let's go skinny dipping."

"I'm in!" Nick shouted enthusiastically.

"You weren't invited." Andi replied with a death glare to Nick. Of the group, Nick and Andi were the two that didn't get along and would probably not be friends if it weren't for the rest of the people in the group. Nick thought Andi was trouble and if honest was jealous of her. Andi thought Nick was the golden boy and resented him for his crush on Arizona and constantly reminding her that he got to marry Arizona first.

"Come on Phoenix, your husband can join too, right?"

"It's Arizona." Andi replied through gritted teeth.

"Nick, we were ten and Tim was our officiator, it most certainly doesn't count." Arizona replied trying to calm Andi's temper.

"Well, I for one do not want to go skinny dippin with my sister." Tim piped up.

"Here, here." Teddy raised the bottle of boones farm that was now in her possession in agreeance with Tim.

"Fine, skinny dipping is out." Arizona conceded but Teddy didn't miss her whispering in Andi's ear. Teddy's eyes followed Arizona as she stood, wiping the sand off her bottom and sauntered over to her, snatching the open bottle of boones farm from her hand.

"Hey!" Teddy protested.

"Teds, there's another bottle for you and Sara. Andi and I are going to go for a walk and we're taking this one." Arizona announced.

"Andromeda Dorothy Altman, you have not graduated yet." Teddy scolded, reminding her of her commitment to not having sex before graduating high school. The two sisters had made that commitment at church together; being non religious, the rest of the group didn't understand the meaning of this. And truthfully, Teddy didn't care about the religious aspect, she was just trying to keep her sister out of trouble for as long as possible. Plus, if she was completely honest, she enjoyed embarrassing her sister a bit when the opportunity arose.

"I will be a graduate in less than twenty four hours, Theodora Eleanor Altman, so stop being such a clam jam." Andi glared. Then leaning down with a side glance to Arizona, who was now blushing, she whispered, "Besides that ship sailed for me about a year ago. But tonight is about Arizona."

Winking at a confused looking Teddy, Andi turned and grabbed Arizona's hand to lead her to a more secluded area of the beach. As Teddy registered what Andi had just confessed she felt a sadness creep over her. Was her sister cheating on Arizona? They were together a year ago. Were they open to dating other people? Did Arizona know? Had Arizona lied to her when she told her that she hadn't slept with Andi yet?

"What are you so deep in thought about Teds?" Tim asked as he studied her from afar.

"Oh ya know, just trying to keep the image of our sisters bumpin uglies out of my head." Teddy replied.

"Oh, gross, Teddy, thanks for that image." Tim said shaking his head and rubbing his eyes hard as if trying to erase the images from his brain.

"Alright, skinny dippin it is!" Teddy decided as she suddenly got up and ran to the water shedding clothing along the way but leaving her bra and underwear securely on her thin frame. Sara shrugged and followed her to the water shedding her clothes as she followed. The boys, being slightly stunned, took a moment to catch up before they tore after them, removing everything but their boxers. Squeals and giggles could be heard from the group of friends as they wrestled each other in the water and had a very competitive chicken fight with Sara on Tim's shoulders and Teddy on Nick's. On the beach, some distance away, Arizona and Andi had a different kind of party as Arizona gave herself to someone for the first time.

Teddy woke the next morning to Colonel Robbins shouting to the room that breakfast would be ready in ten and it was time for everyone to get up. Teddy looked around the room, Sara was on the far side of the room on a sofa with a pillow pulled snuggly over her head. Teddy was stretched out on the sofa opposite of her. Arizona and Andi, who had been glued together in the overstuffed chair when Teddy had fallen asleep last night, had separated at some point in the night or early morning. Arizona was now on the floor on her stomach facing Teddy with her bright blue eyes wide open and alert. She was tucked in the space between the overstuffed chair where Andi lay with her right arm hanging down off the side of the chair, fingertips resting on Arizona's right shoulder blade.

"You ok?" Teddy mouthed to Arizona. Arizona gulped, shook her head and wiped what Teddy realized was a tear away.

Teddy stood, alarmed. She motioned for Arizona to follow her upstairs to Arizona's room at the beach house. Sliding carefully out from under Andi's touch, so as not to wake her, Arizona followed Teddy upstairs with a sense of dread in her heart.

"What's going on?" Teddy asked.

"Andi and I, we...ummm...you know we…"

"Had your cake by the ocean." Teddy smirked at Arizona's shyness.

"Ugh...really Teddy." Arizona so did not appreciate that euphemism at this particular juncture. Teddy looked at her friend and raised an eyebrow. "Yes, yes we had sex. Ok? Happy?"

"And? Oh..Don't tell me my sister sucked."

"What? No. It was great. It was perfect. Although, sex on the beach, not as fun as you might think. Sand everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE."

"Yikes. So are you crying because of sand in your lady bits?"

"Teddy, NO!" Arizona replied in exasperation as she remembered the reason for the tears and felt a real panic attack threatening to appear.

"Whoa, I was just teasing. What is it?"

"Well after you and Sara fell asleep, Andi and I snuck out for another round. We were down on the beach and had just finished, I was putting my clothes back on when I saw someone in the distance. It was Father Sanders, I think. It was dark and he was kind of far away so I can't say for sure, but I think he saw us. And I know he's close with your dad, they're practically best friends. Andi didn't see him and I haven't told her. I didn't want to ruin her day. But what if he saw? What if he tells your parents?" Arizona rambled in near hysterics.

'Oh this is bad. THIS is really really bad'. Teddy thought to herself but to Arizona she appeared calm and confident and said, "It was dark and it was at a distance you said. Even if he saw something, how would he recognize you? You aren't even sure it was him. Don't worry, Arizona, everything will be just fine." Teddy promised not knowing how wrong she was.

"Teddy, Arizona, I said breakfast." Daniel yelled up the stairs in frustration. He did not like to be off schedule.

"Better go before your dad blows a gasket." Teddy said getting a genuine smile out of Arizona as they made their way single file down the stairs to join the rowdy group.

After breakfast, Teddy drove Andi home, as promised. They were home well before they promised to be. Both girls going to their own rooms to shower and get ready. At 11:15 sharp, they were on their way with their parents to the high school. Teddy joined her parents in the bleachers where they had a clear view of the stage. Being an Altman, Andi would be called fairly quickly, maybe even first. But with it being a military base, the graduating class was small, fifty students or less. It would be a short ceremony, well as short as any ceremony on a military base could be anyway.

Soon the Robbins and Gilbert families came in and sat near the Altmans a few rows back. Teddy was beaming with a sense of pride and nostalgia as she watched her baby sister get her diploma. She was surprised to find herself crying with joy. The infamous picture of the six of them was taken on the lawn of the high school by Barbara just minutes after graduation. It was the last picture that would capture the six of them. And taken directly after that would be the last photo that Teddy would take with any member of her family.

After graduation, Teddy and Andi's parents left for an afternoon Bible study class while the two girls joined Sara and Arizona for lunch and celebratory shopping. After a few hours, Andi made it clear to Sara and Teddy that she wanted a few hours alone with Arizona so Teddy and Sara went back to Teddy's house to watch some movies in Teddy's room and do their nails. This is where they were when Teddy's parents arrived home a few hours later; and where they were still when Arizona and Andi arrived shortly after that. Andi had kissed Arizona from the driver's seat and then they walked to the door together hand in hand, not knowing that Bob was watching through the window or that Father Sanders had in fact told him what he had seen on the beach. Hearing the car pull up and the door open shortly after, Teddy and Sara made their way downstairs to greet the two girls. They were planning on a movie/spa slumber party tonight.

Bob opened the door for the girls and stepped aside letting his daughter in before blocking Arizona's path. "You filthy little whore are no longer welcome in my home."

Stunned by Mr. Altman's words, Arizona just blinked and thinking she must have misunderstood said, "I'm sorry?"

"You dirty little dyke, showing up and corrupting my daughter!" Bob yelled.

"Mr. Altman, I love Andi, I'm not trying to corrupt her."

Mr. Altman responded by slapping her across the face, hard. She yelped at the contact out of shock more than the pain. The commotion had caused Teddy and Sara to come further into the room where they stood watching, frozen in terror. Andi shouted for her father to stop as he grabbed Arizona by the arm roughly and threw her down the porch steps. She landed at the bottom with her arm at an odd angle as she heard the bone snap. She yelped again, this time in pain.

"Arizona!" Andi yelled before launching herself at the door where her father grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back into the house, slamming the door in the process.

"Dad, Arizona is hurt! I can't believe you did that." Andi yelled still trying to get to the door.

"Yeah well you're little homo tramp is lucky I didn't do worse. She will get what's coming to her though. As for you, I am so disgusted I can't even look at you but as you're my daughter, it is my duty to try to save your soul. Luckily, Father Sanders has agreed to take you to a conversion therapy camp first thing in the morning. Until then, you will not leave your room or have contact with anyone."

"Dad…." Teddy said softly from the stairs as tears fell down her face. She had heard her dad use derogatory terms in reference to homosexuals before but she had never witnessed him this angry or violent, ever. Something more was going on.

"I suppose you knew about this?" Bob said, angrily turning his attention to his eldest daughter and noticing their company for the first time.

"Dad, I" Teddy started but she was cut off.

"Miss Gilbert I think it's time for you to go home. My daughters and I have some very serious matters to discuss."

Sara looked anxiously at Teddy, a terrified look on her face. She moved to walk past Mr. Altman and Andi. Andi reached out for her and begged, "Sara, please help Arizona, she's hurt."

"I will." Sara promised as she looked her friend in the eye and offered a small smile.

"Miss Gilbert, I advise you not to get involved with riff raff like Arizona Robbins. Unless she's already corrupted you as well. Lord knows how many nice young girls she's gotten her hooks into."

"Actually daddy, I am the one that corrupted Arizona. Last night in fact and then again today. She had never been with anyone before but I had, so blame me." Andi said, standing up to her father and defending Arizona's honor.

This was the final straw for Bob who could no anger reign in his anger and disgust. He unleashed his rage, first hitting Andi in the mouth, then grabbing her by the hair so she couldn't move and hitting her repeatedly, in the face, the gut, the ribs, and her arms as she tried to shield herself. Teddy stood frozen, their mother remained upstairs in their bedroom, unaware of the scene unfolding in their living room. After hearing what Father Sanders had to say, she knew her husband was furious and she chose to take a xanax and avoid him and Andi both for the night. Sara who had been half out the door turned and jumped on Bob's back as his hands circled Andi's neck. At this, Teddy snapped to and ran to her sister's aid. Sara and Teddy were able to pull the middle aged man from Andi as Arizona made her way to the doorway and watched the scene with tears in her eyes. She had phoned her father and then the police but the screams coming from inside the Altman house had kept her from leaving the property despite her broken arm. Seeing Sara open the door then run back into the house along with the shouting prompted Arizona to ascend the six porch stairs she had been tossed down once again.

As everyone gasped for breath, including Bob, his eyes landed once more on Arizona before he turned back to his daughter. "Your life is over. You weren't smart enough to get scholarships like Teddy and your mother and I make too much for you to get assistance. If you so much as look at Arizona or any other woman again, you can kiss college goodbye. In fact, if you want to go to college and have us pay for it, you will attend a Catholic one after you return from conversion therapy. One far away from Baltimore or Boston. Otherwise, you can walk out that door right now and never come back. You will be banished from this family and Miss Robbins will have to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life because one day, she will get what's coming to her. I will kill you both myself if I have to."

"Dad, enough." Teddy stepped in. Her father was someone she didn't recognize right now. He had never struck either of them or spoken so hatefully even if they known his position on this. She placed her hand on Andi's shoulder in support and solidarity. Andi was still trying to catch her breath and was unable to speak. Just as she thought she might be able to manage a few words, Mr Robbins and the police appeared in the doorway.

"Arizona, baby, are you ok?" Daniel asked as he assessed the split lip on his daughter's face and the arm being held protectively against her chest at an odd angle. Her usual brilliant blue eyes were dim and puffy with tears. Her cheeks were stained with tears and running mascara. Despite all that, she shook her head yes and mumbled, "Yes, sir."

"Your mom is in the car with Tim. Go get in the car baby." Daniel said, barely holding back his anger but not wanting to show it in front of his clearly injured and traumatized daughter. Her lip trembled and she hesitated. She had never disobeyed an order from her father no matter how gentle or harshly it was given but she was scared to leave Teddy and Andi. She felt as though she was about to lose them both. Sensing this, Daniel kissed her tenderly on the forehead and added, "It's going to be alright honey."

"Arizona, it's ok. I'm ok. Listen to your dad. I love you." Andi said from behind her father who turned and glared at her after hearing her words.

Arizona nodded in resignation, believing her dad and Andi, she started down the stairs toward the car where her mom and brother both got out to embrace her as she approached. Teddy could hear Barbara as she surveyed Arizona's injuries and she could tell she was crying though she couldn't see the woman as she said, "Oh Daniel, her arm is broken. She needs to go to the hospital, we can do this later."

Teddy watched as Daniel turned to his family and said, "Ok, just one moment." Teddy could see the pain on his face and the anger he was fighting back as he turned to her and Andi and said, "You two, are welcome at our home anytime. It is a safe place, and you're always welcome."

Teddy nodded her head in understanding and looked at her sister who avoided eye contact with anyone. Mr. Robbins then turned to Sara and said, "Sara, I am taking you with us please go wait in the car with Mrs. Robbins."

When Sara left the room, obeying immediately, Daniel turned back to Bob and said with his teeth clenched and shaking in anger, "If you ever lay a finger on my daughter or either of your children again, it will be the last thing you do. You owe them all an apology."

"Get. Out. Of. MY. House." Bob responded, advancing on Daniel. The police intervened, helping Daniel toward the door.

"Teddy, Andi, you guys can come with me." Daniel offered.

"Over my dead body." Bob stepped in.

"Sir, you really have to go now, you're trespassing. We will sort this all out." The police officer responded.

"I want charges pressed. He broke my daughter's arm and split her lip open. She's one hundred and ten pounds, five four maybe five five. He's pushing two twenty and is well over six feet." Daniel stated.

"You can file a report and we will take him into custody if the evidence supports assault. Where is your residence.?"

"Just down the street but I'm taking my daughter to the ER first."

"Ok, we will find you there." the officer said before they finally left the house.

Wanting to speak with the man alone, the police requested Teddy and Andi go to their rooms. Teddy tried to follow Andi into hers to comfort her but she slammed the door in her face. Teddy made her way to her room and sat on her bed. She had wanted more than anything to go with Arizona's family but she wouldn't leave her sister, and Andi was stubborn. She was scared to sleep for fear her dad would attack Andi again. And then she remembered Father Sanders would be there in the morning to take Andi any way. With that thought, Teddy made her way to Andi's bedroom. She watched from the upstairs window briefly as her dad walked to the police car with the police. She briefly thought he was being arrested but they shook his hand and drove away. Teddy tried the knob but the door was locked. She knocked loudly, but Andi just yelled for her to go away. Teddy shouted through the door but her father suddenly stood at the top of the stairs looking distraught and told her to go to bed. Still feeling slightly terrified of him, Teddy obeyed but listened intently in case he tried to hurt Andi again.

Teddy had gone back to her room, waited until she was sure her dad would be asleep and snuck back to Andi's room, this time equipped with a bobby pin and a shopping card to break into her sister's room. The two of them were getting the hell out of the house and hitting the road before anyone would notice they were gone. They were both over eighteen, adults technically with both of them having birthdays less than a month ago. Teddy had turned twenty one exactly one week after Andi had turned eighteen, so no one could stop them. After what felt like a lifetime, Teddy fist pumped the air silently in celebration as she finally got the door to her sister's room unlocked. Her sister was seemingly asleep on the bed but as Teddy approached she knew something was seriously wrong. She was much too pale and much too still. Her chest was not rising and as Teddy turned on the lamp by the bed, she knew she wasn't breathing. Her lips were blue and her eyes were wide open. Beside her was an empty assortment of pill bottles ranging from tylenol and motrin to adderall and their mother's xanax. A piece of paper was on the floor addressed to Teddy. Having completed three years of pre med, Teddy knew there was no saving her, she had been gone for a long time but desperation overroad reason and so she shouted for her parents to call 911 as she tried to resuscitate her dead sister.

"Hey, you alright?"

Teddy was snapped back to reality by a voice above her. She looked up to see Dr. Montgomery standing by her bed with a look of concern on her face.

"Yea, I'm ok. Just old ghosts visiting." Teddy said. There was no way she could deny the tears so there was no point in hiding the fact that she had been crying.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"No, but thank you. I actually need to go for a walk." Teddy said, sliding off the bed quickly and leaving before she could be questioned further.

Reaching the men's barracks a few minutes later, Teddy had managed to clean her face and calm her rapid heart rate before approaching a pacing Arizona.

"You're late." Arizona greeted, then noting her friend's appearance asked, "You ok?"

"Yeah, sorry, fell asleep." Teddy lied.

"This one is freaking out." Arizona replied, pointing toward Callie who was lost in her own world as she muttered in Spanish as she too paced.

"No puedo creer que estas niñas me convencieran hacer esta. De seguro te van a descubrir. ¿Y luego que? Teddy es capitán y el hermano de Arizona es guardabosques del ejército, yo voy hacer la que pagar las consequencias. Ok, no te paniqueas, Torres. Usa esto para tu ventaja. Obten algunas respuestas de ella." (I can't believe the two children talked me into this. You are so going to get caught. And then what? Teddy is a captain and Arizona's brother is an army ranger, I will be the one that gets punished. Ok, stop freaking out, Torres. Use this to your advantage. Get some answers from her.)

"Care to share with the class, Cal?" Teddy asked in amusement.

"She keeps calling me a baby. Or a child." Arizona pouted. Despite the ridiculousness of the situation or the memories she had just re-lived, the blonde always had a way of making her feel better and she couldn't help but giggle at the sight of a worried Latina muttering Spanish and a very childlike Arizona dressed like a ninja spy. This caught Callie's attention and she stopped abruptly. Teddy had no idea what she had said or what she was thinking but an acceptance seemed to wash over the Latina's face as she smiled at a mischievous looking Arizona, clad in all black complete with black grease smeared on her cheeks in a careful line.

"You're adorable." Callie said with a smile. Then she quickly frowned and looked panicked as if the admission had accidently slipped from her mouth. Teddy was enjoying the show as Arizona blushed and Callie looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

"And your Spanish is hot, super hot, sexy. Even if you are calling me a baby." Arizona replied, stunning both Callie and Teddy with her boldness. Teddy was used to a flirtatious Arizona but there was something different about the way she was with Callie.

"And you!" Arizona said, suddenly rounding on Teddy before the situation became awkward, "You're not wearing black! Now they will see you more easily."

"Relax, Riz, everything will be fine."

"You're gonna get us caught, Theodora." the blonde whined.

"Ok, the only way I am keeping look out for you two is if you guys explain the Riz thing to me after you get your beloved Hustler back from your brother." Callie replied, pretending to have the upper hand as she was truly desperate to know the blonde's secrets.

"Deal." Teddy agreed.

"Teddy, you can't tell her that. Sister oath, remember?" Arizona protested.

"Do you want your damn hustler or not?" Teddy asked.

"I guess you don't." Callie shrugged and started to turn away as Arizona struggled to make a decision.

"Wait!" Arizona stampered and Callie smiled to herself at a job well done on her part before turning around, her face neutral once again. "If we successfully get the Hustler back without getting caught, I will tell you about the Riz nickname."

"Then you two better get a move on." Callie grinned at Teddy. Teddy completely understood that Callie was playing them. 'Well played Torres, well played,' Teddy thought. She was going to have to keep her eye on Callie. She was definitely interested in finding things out about Arizona that the blonde didn't readily share with people.

Teddy sighed as she gave Callie a knowing look before following the shorter blonde to get closer to the men's quarters. Both she and Callie were wondering how the hell the petite blonde had roped them into this little scheme of hers. But here they were, following the commands of one perky, innocent looking peds surgeon who also happened to be bossy and the apparent leader of the operation.

"Oh, Callie, you stand guard here. Stay out of sight and then if someone approaches it can look like you casually walked up on them by chance but you can still see the door from both angles in case Owen or someone else returns." Arizona ordered.

"Sir, yes, sir." Callie replied with a smirk. Arizona rolled her eyes at her before she grabbed Teddy's arm and started jogging closer to the men's quarters. Before they got more than a few steps away, Arizona turned back to Callie and said, "Let Teddy borrow your hoodie since she forgot to wear black."

Rolling her eyes this time because she was whipped and she wasn't even dating Arizona, Callie unzipped her hoodie and handed it over to the smaller blonde who replied with a perky "Yay" before she ran back to Teddy and tossed her the hoodie. The taller blonde zipped the hoodie up without a fight and the two girls crept to the window to assess the occupancy of the men's quarters. Teddy turned and gave Callie a thumbs up signaling that the men's quarters was in fact vacant as they had hoped before the two women crept inside.

Teddy surveyed the room. It wasn't much different from the women's quarters really. There was one bunk bed on the far wall, one single bed next to it separated by a dresser and nightstand and on the wall to the right under the window were two more single beds separated by another dresser and two more night stands. Spotting a picture of a tall man in uniform with light blonde hair with an arm slung around a younger Arizona's shoulders, a woman with darker blonde hair with one arm around Arizona's waist and the other around Tim's waist on her other side, Arizona immediately knew which bunk was her brothers. She made her way to the bunk bed and surveyed the neatly made bottom bunk. Looking up at the top bunk, she knew it must be Nick's. And if there was any hint of the teenage boys they used to be, Arizona could quickly guess their hiding places.

"Teddy, you look under Tim's mattress and under the drawer of the night stand. If it isn't there, check for loose floorboards under the bed." Arizona instructed.

"Where are you going?" Teddy asked.

"To check Nick's bunk area. He could have hidden it with Nick's stuff in case I came looking. If it's not in any of those places, I have a few more ideas." Arizona replied.

The two women searched for a few minutes when, with a satisfied fist pump to the air, Arizona nearly fell off the top bunk in excitement as she pulled the hidden Hustler from the back of a picture frame. The frame contained a picture of her, Nick, Tim, and Teddy from her time here before and it hung above Nick's bed. "Gotcha."

Hearing Arizona's smug remark, Teddy crawled out from under the bed and asked, "Did you find it?"

"Yep." Arizona said popping the P. Just as she finished climbing down the ladder, the door to the barracks opened. Both women dove under the bed as Owen Hunt entered but he was talking to someone outside with his head turned, providing them just enough time to take cover.

"Torres, I hear ya and I'm willing to give you five minutes of my time just as soon as I change." Owen said, shutting the door in Callie's face.

Owen walked over to the single bed closest to the door on the wall across from the bunk bed where they hid beneath and began to strip off his running gear as he pulled clean clothes from the dresser. Arizona wanted to turn away but it was like a train wreck, she couldn't pull her eyes away and it was a second too late that she realized this as Owen freed himself of his under garments and she saw way more of a man than she ever cared to. Thankfully, Teddy had the foresight to place a hand over pink lips before the gasp left Arizona's mouth. Completely redressed, sans underwear, Owen made his way to the door. Arizona was now in a fit of giggles as Owen walked back outside and she thought of Callie trying to get Owen to discuss a fake ortho question with her while he was commando.

"What has gotten into you?" Teddy asked as Arizona licked her hand to get her to remove it from her mouth. She continued to giggle as Teddy looked at her in bewilderment.

"Cal...Callie...talk...Ow...Owen...commando…"Arizona gasped between her giggles. At this or maybe just the adrenaline from their near miss or maybe from seeing Owen naked again, Teddy joined Arizona and the two of them lay on the floor under the bed trying to catch their breath as they laughed.

"Was that the first penis you ever saw?" Teddy asked as she caught her breath but then burst into a new fit of laughter as Arizona's eyes widened and she nodded her head vigorously.

"Oh God, that image is burned in my head. I couldn't look away. I don't ever want to see another one." Arizona replied in disgust which only made Teddy laugh harder. Arizona slugged Teddy in her arm before she climbed out from her hiding spot beneath the bed and then bent to help a still laughing Teddy out. The pair made it outside and crept along the building in search of Callie. "I do have one question."

"I am not explaining hetero sex to you." Teddy teased.

"How did you walk after that?" Arizona giggled. This time Teddy slugged her shoulder. Arizona went to slug her back as they rounded the corner of the building but Teddy grabbed her arm and pulled her against the building. As Teddy was turning the corner, she saw Callie stalling Tim. Arizona looked at her with a questioning look as they were both pressed against the building.

"Callie and Tim. I think she's trying to stall him, or distract him maybe." Teddy whispered.

Arizona took a chance to peek around the corner to see if she and Teddy could safely run across to the shed for coverage without being seen. Her breath caught as she caught sight of Callie, butterflies fluttering in an annoying orchestra in her stomach and chest. She was absolutely stunning and clearly her brother thought so as well. Lost in Callie's beauty, Arizona momentarily forgot their predicament as she leaned forward for a better look and snapped a twig with her foot. Teddy pulled her back just before Tim's head turned at the sound.

"Did you hear that?" they heard Tim ask.

"Hear what?" Callie echoed.

"I thought I heard something over there."

"Tim...I...we...I think we should talk." Callie stuttered as Tim started walking in the direction of Arizona and Teddy's hiding spot. At this, Tim stopped and turned to face Callie with a wide grin. He clearly thought this news was going to be in his favor.

"I'm listening." he said, taking a few steps closer to Callie.

"This is really hard to say." Callie confessed nervously.

"It's ok, you can say whatever it is."

"I really like…" Callie started but was cut off by Tim as he finished what he thought her sentence would be and said, "I really like you too."

Arizona chanced another glance just as Tim placed a gentle peck on Callie's lips. At this, tears immediately sprung to Arizona's eyes and she quickly and as quietly as she could manage, sprinted toward the women's barracks. Both Callie and Tim were too caught up in what was happening between them to notice the blonde's departure which was quickly followed by Teddy's. As Teddy caught up to Arizona she reached her arm out and pulled her away from the women's barracks and into a shed where they could speak in private.

"Arizona." Teddy whispered as she reached out a hand and touched Arizona's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Teddy. I don't know what got into me." Arizona replied softly as she wiped her tears away and took several deep, calming breaths to try to make her voice sound steadier than she felt. She shrugged Teddy's hand from her shoulder.

"I think Callie was just trying to distract him, Riz. And we couldn't hear Callie very well, only what Tim responded with." Teddy offered, not having witnessed the kiss.

"Even if she wasn't, it's none of my business. And if she was, he really likes her. I don't like that she would use my brother like that. She kissed him." Arizona replied, her voice sounding much steadier and colder than it had previously. This was the Arizona that Teddy was used to. The blonde was so warm, outgoing, and perky but when it came to women, she was cold, compartmentalized, and detached. Not that she didn't treat women well or that she wasn't warm or flirtatious but she was no nonsense. It was about a physical connection and nothing more and she was very blunt and upfront about that. Though Teddy had witnessed many broken hearts at the hands of one Arizona Robbins.

"We did put a lot of pressure on her to use any means necessary. She took her job as a look out very seriously." Teddy tried again.

"Why are you defending her?" Arizona asked grumpily.

"I'm not, I'm sorry, you're right. She shouldn't have done that if she likes you and especially if she knows Tim likes her."

"I need to get back to the barracks. I want to take a shower and get to bed before Callie finds me."

"Arizona?"

"Yea?"

"Forgetting something?" Teddy asked handing Arizona the Hustler they had set out for and had led to all this.

"Thanks Teds."

"Arizona?"

"Yea Teds?" Arizona asked, turning once again. She looked exhausted but not mad.

"I walk just fine. Well, maybe I resembled a cowboy a little for a day." Teddy replied playfully, flinging her arm around Arizona's neck as the two of them left the shed. Arizona looked at her with a confused look before realization hit her and she shoved Teddy playfully and said, "Oh Teddy, gross, TMI."

Teddy laughed lightly as she and Arizona approached the barracks one more time. "You sure you're ok?"

"Perfect." Arizona smiled as she held up the Hustler but Teddy noticed that the smile didn't quite reach her eyes.

The two friends parted their ways and Teddy headed back towards the men's quarters instead of the opposite way towards the women's quarters. She wanted to make sure Callie wasn't keeping lookout for them anymore at least. Seeing the brunette in question looking anxious near where they had left her over half an hour ago, Teddy approached her.

"Mission accomplished." Teddy said, plastering a smile on her face.

"How did you guys get by me? How long have you been back? Where's Arizona?"

"I think she went to go shower and sleep with her Hustler." Teddy replied, not sure if she should mention what they had witnessed.

"Ok but why didn't you guys tell me? I've been out here standing guard like an idiot for God knows how long. I thought for sure Tim was going to bust you but then you disappeared." Callie replied feeling slightly annoyed at being left out.

"Relax, it's only been like ten minutes and you were a bit preoccupied." Teddy explained without coming out and accusing the brunette.

"Preoccupied?" Callie asked, faking innocence. She sincerely hoped that the two blondes hadn't witnessed Tim's blatant flirting with her, followed by a kiss that led to an awkward conversation about how she was just realizing how she might be bi and has a crush on his sister.

"With a certain blonde haired blue eyed brother of another blonde haired blue eyed beauty." Teddy replied with an apologetic smile.

"Shit." Callie replied, roughly running her fingers through her hair, "I can explain."

"Cal, I'm not the one who was upset by it. I mean I'm upset if you're leading Arizona on and you're only going to hurt her."

"She was upset?" Callie asked feeling her heart drop at confirmation that Arizona had at least witnessed part of what happened between Callie and her brother. She had tried to keep her voice down while she spoke with Tim but he didn't know there was a possibility of being eavesdropped on so his volume had been normal.

"I think my answering that question is against girl code or best friend slash sister code or something. I should go get some sleep and so should you. I just wanted to let you know we accomplished our mission and the package has been secured."

"Thanks Teddy." Callie replied sadly as she headed back to the barracks.

"No problem." Teddy said as she headed towards the women's quarters. As she turned and watched Callie walk away, her head down, Teddy's heart felt heavy. Callie was probably the most perfect match she had ever met for her friend. They were opposites true but they complimented each other and opposites are supposed to attract. She sent a silent prayer to Andi to not let Arizona get in her own way for a chance of love and happiness. Then she sent a prayer up for herself too as she thought of Owen.

"Hey Cal!" Teddy stopped and turned around. Callie stopped and walked back toward Teddy as she jogged over and met Callie. She handed her the black hoodie that she had been forced to give up earlier. "Thanks for the hoodie and for your help."

"No problem. I almost had a heart attack when Owen entered the men's quarters." Callie replied with a smile. "How did you guys manage not to get caught?"

"Oh we ahhh...hid under the bunk bed. Arizona got way more of a show than she bargained for." Teddy laughed.

"What do you mean?" Callie asked.

"Let's just say when Owen came back to talk to you, he was commando." Teddy smiled as realization landed on Callie's face. Callie chuckled loudly before she replied, "Ew, he was commando while I was talking to him?"

"Yep" Teddy laughed earnestly now.

"And you and Arizona saw his umm package?"

"Oh yea. I thought Arizona was going to vomit or pass out, it was priceless."

"You've seen one you've seen them all." Callie shrugged not understanding the big deal.

"Well yea, I guess but if it's the first one you've seen, it might be a bit of a shock."

"You've never?" Callie asked.

"Callie, I'm thirty and not a nun."

"You mean? Arizona? Really? She's hot. She's never had a boyfriend? I mean, I know she's gay but before she knew she was gay?"

"Callie, she's known she was gay since she was like eleven or twelve, that doesn't leave much time for boyfriends, does it?"

"Oh my God, she's never slept with a man." Callie just realized.

Teddy couldn't help but roll her eyes. She placed a hand on Callie's shoulder as she passed her to head toward her quarters. "And to think I thought you were the smart one of the group."
