Here's my try at a Calzona fic, I loved this couple and am having hard time watching they aren't together. In my mind they are living happily. I don't own anything, just can't get this couple out of my head lol Thanks for reading.
Arizona
Walking through the airport, my daughters' small hand in mine, she was skipping happily as we walked. Jabbering on and on about what fun she was going to have in New York with her mommy. 'thank god she hasn't talked about Penny' I shake my head, 'come to think of it she hadn't talked about Penny in quite a while, I shake the thought from my head, for as young as she was she knew Penny was a sore spot with me, I smiled as we reach the gate "alright princess, we're here" she smiled up at me, I notice how she's looking more and more like my ex-wife every day.
"I'm going to miss you momma" Sofia said a tone I knew too well,
"I'm going to miss you too" I feel my eyes swell with tears. "but you'll be back soon"
"yes, I will and then Zola and I are going to camp" I smile "yes you are" reaching up brushing some hair behind her ear. "Dr. Robbins?" I hear a voice call my name
"yes" I look up with a smile
"I'm Sarah, I'll be accompanying young Sofia here to New York" the young woman said, I noticed she must not have been more than 21. Giving her a soft smile "thank you" looking down at my daughter "Sofia, this is Sarah, she'll be with you until you see mommy"
"awesome" Sofia looked up at the brunette, I could not help but smile, the brunette was pretty, had this been 10 years ago, before Calliope, I may have tried to get her in bed. Shaking that thought away, that is not who I am anymore, Calliope had changed me, or maybe I grew up, leaning down so I was eye level with Sofia "be good for the lady"
"momma, I'm always good" Sofia gave a look, one that Callie used to give, often when she was in trouble, I can't help but smiled "yes you are" reaching out I pulled the mini version of my ex-wife into my arms "tell mommy I said hi"
"I will" Sofia beamed hanging on tighter "I miss you already momma"
"me too Sof, me too" the tears start to sting my eyes again, forcing myself to pull back "now go sit with Sarah"
"ok" the girl smiled looking at the flight attendant who said "it won't be long, and we'll be boarding the plane, your mom can wait with us if she wants"
"no, she has to go save tiny humans" Sofia said reaching for Sarah's hand, feeling myself blush as the young woman standing there looked at me confused "I'm a fetal surgeon" I tried to clarify but didn't think the woman understood so I shrug taking Sofia in for another hug "I love you" I place another kiss on her head, when I hear "I love you too mommy, now go save tiny humans" she's smiling proudly, she had done this trip back and forth a few times now, in her mind she was a pro at flying "ok" I let a sad smile appear
"she's in good hands" Sarah smiled, I nod and stand up, give my daughter one last kiss on the head and left. She would only be gone 2 weeks, and I have some big plans for those two weeks, first on the list was heading home for a nice long uninterrupted soak in the tub, with a glass of wine, and then off to the couch with said wine. That was the plan for the day, until I hear that god awful sound of my pager and found myself running, well walking fast, I could not run much with my prosthetic leg, out the airport, to my car and straight to the hospital.
The two weeks Sofia had been gone, went by in a flash, I felt like I didn't have time to breathe, let alone do anything I had planned, don't get me wrong I'm grateful to have her back, I just wish my work would have let me relax a little. I always missed my daughter terribly. Sofia was all packed and ready for another 2 weeks at camp with Zola, stopping by Meredith's to pick Zola up, the three of us headed to the camp. "bye momma I love you" Sofia called out as she and Zola jump out of the car
"Sof wait" I call climbing out of the car "I have to go with you" I had to rush to catch up to my tiny human
"momma, I'm old enough to go alone" Sofia stood there with her hands on her hips "and Zola is here so I'm not completely alone"
"I know honey, but I need to check you both in" I smile at the girls, "come on" I nod in the direction of the office. The three of us made our way inside "hello" the man behind the counter said
"hi" Sofia beamed, I let out a small laugh, turn toward him, with a smile "I'm dropping off Sophia Sloan Torres and Zola Shepherd Grey" 'these kids have too many names'
"it's Sofia Robbin Sloan Torres" Sofia said causing us both to let out a laugh
"yes honey" I smile at my daughter, after spending two weeks with Callie she came back with more of her mother's attitude "alright all checked in, I can take it from here Mrs. Torres"
"she's not Mrs. Torres, she's Dr. Robbins" 'there's Callie's attitude again' I let out a little laugh shaking my head "Sof honey it's ok"
"no, you and my mommy aren't married anymore so you aren't a Mrs." She clarified
"ok" 'this girl is going to be the death of me' I hold back my laugh
"anyway, we have it from here" the man smiled, I turned to Sofia leaning down to her "be good and have fun" kissing her head, then went to Zola "you have fun too" hugging the other little girl
"I will" Zola smiled
"ok let's go" the man said leading them out of the door leaving me standing there smiling. 'These two weeks was going to be a long one' pushing back the tears, I head towards the car, then to the hospital.
"Robbins" I hear and reply with a laugh "Karev" it had been a slow day, so I decided to scrub in on an appy Alex had.
"have you talked to Torres lately?"
"she calls every night to tell Sofia goodnight"
"no, I meant, have you actually talked to her" I took a deep breath standing there holding the suction. 'I hadn't had an actual conversation with Callie in, shit I really couldn't remember how long it had been' "word is her and Blake split" Alex went on 'how did he know this and not me' "I didn't know that, how"
"I don't know what happened, Mer told me, I guess Torres finally saw that perfect Penny wasn't so perfect after all" Alex laughed
"something Meredith said I'm assuming" trying to contain my excitement at hearing the news
"yeah, she laughed when she said it, was pretty funny at the time" he shrugged
"yeah, no, it's funny" I smile behind my mask, we work in silence a few minutes "do you still love Callie" Alex asked not taking his eyes off what he was doing, surprised at his question, I put on my best poker face, and put the suction down sucking up some blood 'do I still love Callie? Of course, I do, I will always be in love with Calliope Torres' "Robbins" Alex said trying to get my attention
"huh?" I look up at him
"I asked if you still loved Torres"
"oh, um" I cleared my throat "yes" was all I could get out 'good one
"you think there's a chance?" Alex started to say
"do I think there's a chance Callie and I will be together again?" I ask, seeing Alex nod "I don't know Karev, there's a lot of history there"
"I know" I could see him smile behind his mask "I'm just asking if there was a chance would you" 'would I get back with Callie' I smile thinking about it as I put the suction down, to suck up some blood "well, I have to admit this news about her and Penny, that's good news" I look up at him
"so is there hope?"
"there's always been hope, Karev" I went on, not taking my eyes off the patient on the table "Calliope and I" I paused "we are meant for one another, she's my person, she's always been my person" I put the suction down, "I've known that from the moment I first kissed her in that smelly bar bathroom" I start to ramble.
Alex
I glanced up at the gallery, seeing a figure sitting in the dark, shaking my head and smile "so what you're saying is, if she showed up out of nowhere and said she feels the same you'd" Arizona looked up at me, I could tell she was thinking "there's no chance of that Karev" her eyes changed now they were sad "she's happy in New York, and what we have with Sofia, it, it works" I just nodded, "alright time to close" I let out a breath and reach for the stapler, as I hear Arizona's pager go off "it's the ER Dr. Robbins" the nurse said through the quiet OR
"right" she handed the suction off to the resident standing next to her "you good here"
"of course," I say watching the blonde leave, taking another look up at the gallery, there was definitely someone there that didn't want to be seen.
As I was leaving the scrub room, I saw someone coming down the stairs that led to the gallery smiling "Torres" my voice came out louder than I thought. She stopped in her tracks I see her take a deep breath "Karev" she said looking directly in my eyes
"does she know you're here?" I ask softly, I see Callie just shake her head with a sad look on her face "why are you here?" as far as I knew Sofia had just gotten back from New York, and was at summer camp with Zola, I see Callie shrug her shoulders "so you and Blake?"
"done" Callie's voice cracked
"you heard the conversation?" Callie nodded; I nod "are you here for her?" Callie shrugged her shoulders "come on" I nod towards the door "let's go find Mer"
Callie
'fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck' was running through my head, 'I hadn't thought this through clearly'
Alex's voice boomed off the empty hallway calling my name, my mind wasn't in the right place to answer his questions, it was like all the sudden I was back to being that shy girl I was when I was younger. We strolled the hallway to the elevator, not saying anything, I felt like a little kid who had been busted with their hand in the cookie jar. When the door opened, we see Meredith standing at the nurse's station "Mer" Alex said, as she turned around, her eyes almost popping out of her head seeing me "Callie" she smiled, I just nod and smile at my friend suddenly thinking it was a bad idea to not tell anyone I was coming, but shit, I didn't know I was coming. Watching as Meredith turned back to the nurse saying something then turned again "come on let's get some coffee" she smiled
Arizona
Sitting in my office filling out the last of the paperwork I had for the day, my plan was to go home, take a long hot bath, and soak my aching limb. The last page I had gotten had me standing in surgery for, what seemed like forever, but in the end, I ended up saving the patient, so all was good. I was humming along to a song I heard earlier on the speaker as I clicked on the computer in front of me. Looking up in the doorway I saw a figure standing there "hey" I smile
"hi"
"what do I owe to this honor" I say to my boss
"I was just coming to see how you were doing?" Bailey said walking farther into the office
"oh, I'm awesome, everything is awesome" I smile, seeing the look on Bailey's face it was my perky smile that she loved so much.
"yeah ok" I see her shake her head
"why don't you believe me" I laugh
"Robbins I've known you for a while, and I can see through your perky demeaner"
"oh right because Bailey knows all"
"and sees all" Bailey sat down on a chair making herself comfortable "and don't you forget it" she smiled
"you won't let us forget it" I laugh Bailey had always been someone I thought I was close to, but my boss often stayed closed off, that was until she married Ben. "so is there something I can do for you?"
"no, I was just coming to see how you were doing"
"yeah you said that" I smile again thanking god that she hadn't said anything about Callie.
"did Sofia make it back ok?"
"yeah she's at camp with Zola, I dropped them off this morning"
"Tuck always loved those camps, he used to come home with macaroni art and a bunch of random drawings I had no clue what they were" she shrugged
"yeah" I take a deep breath "Bailey" I looked at my boss who was clearly not in boss mode at the moment, I see the woman give a half smile "I heard a rumor that Torres and Blake split up"
"yeah" I sit back in my chair, letting out a breath "I heard that too"
"so"
"so?" I asked confused
"are you going to get her back?" Bailey blurted out, I just shake my head, I had just found out earlier, I did not know if I wanted to do anything "she's in New York and I'm here, my job is here"
"damn right your job is here" Bailey said sternly "you will NOT be moving to New York" I let out a laugh and how Bailey made sure to put emphasis on NOT "I don't plan on leaving"
"good, I should go, see you later"
"ah, yeah" I laugh again, this was so typical of Bailey
Callie
"you're here" Meredith said looking at me, as she sat down at a table in the cafeteria
"I am"
"why?" Meredith asked, I didn't say anything just picked up the coffee and sighed "I don't know"
"she was in the gallery" Alex went on to tell Meredith about the conversation he and Arizona had had during the surgery. Meredith looked up at me "she's why you're here?" I looked down not wanting to meet the eyes of my friends. Meredith then turns to Alex and whispers "Robins doesn't know does she" Alex just shook his head "if she did she would have told me in surgery" Alex let out a sigh looking at his friend. Even though he was closer to Arizona I had always considered him a friend.
"well then" Meredith said picking up her coffee cup looking at me, I was sitting in the chair opposite her. They heard a pager go off, Alex reaches down "I have to go, you got her?" he points to Callie
"I do" Meredith smiled
"don't let her creep on Robbins"
"I wasn't creeping" I try to defend myself, but knew it was pointless
"you were sitting in a dark gallery watching her do a surgery, I'd say that falls on creeping" Alex said looking at his pager again "I gotta go" he clipped the pager back to his waist then ran off. Meredith cleared her throat "so, care to tell me what's going on?"
"a lot" I sighed
"well I'm almost done, why don't we go to Joe's, have a few drinks, and you can tell me what's on your mind" I couldn't say anything, what was there to say so I just nodded "can I trust you not to get into any trouble while I finish up?"
"I'll find somewhere to go" I say shrugging.
Arizona
"Robbins" I hear Alex say coming around a corner, I was the one who had paged him to my office
"good you're here" I smile
"you paged me" he looked confused "to your office" he looked around
"yeah, um, yeah" I smile, my mind had been on the conversation we had earlier, and after the little chat with Bailey I really needed a drink or ten "do you want to get a drink?"
"I'm not done for a few hours" Alex looked at the time
"when you're done" I added
"I could do that" he smiled "I'll meet you at Joe's at 7"
"awesome" I smile watching as Alex left my office.
Callie
I sat down at the table across from Meredith, taking a long pull from my beer, I was going to need more of these. "so" Meredith said I could feel her looking at me.
"so" I reply, my mood still had not changed
"tell me why you're here"
"you already figured that out" I set the beer down on the table pulling at the label
"hmm" Meredith sighed "we need some shots" I nodded watching as she got up from her chair and went to the bar, coming back moments later with a tray full of shots. Meredith set the tray on the table "ok, so, every shot you take you have to tell me something" she sat in her chair seeing me nod, I reach for a shot, tossing it back then looked across the table "as you know Penny and I broke up" Meredith nodded, I told her that shortly after it happened but hadn't told her why. "yes, and why?"
"why what" I look at her not really wanting to go into detail on why my relationship failed yet again.
"why did you break up?"
"oh, um" I reach for my beer, downing it, 'I'm going to need more of those if I'm going to get through this night' I held it up as the bartender nodded bringing another. "well" I let out a sigh "Sofia"
"what about Sofia"
"Penny wasn't ready to be a parent"
"is that why Sofia came to live with Arizona?" I nod "we were always fighting, Penny and I, so I thought it was best if Sofia come here"
"good call, she doesn't need to see that"
"no" I sit back in the chair "as you know, it was shortly after that the relationship ended" Meredith nodded "she was also jealous of Arizona"
"why" Meredith let out a laugh, I sigh "she said that I would always be in love with her, and nothing or no one could change that"
"is she right?" she looked into my eyes, I gave a sad smile and looked down "yes"
"so, are you here to stay?"
"I'm not sure" I let out another sigh taking another shot I had said two things, so I deserved another shot. Meredith reached for one too "I think the two of you need to talk"
"I think you're right" I said taking a deep breath, meeting Meredith's eyes "why does every relationship I'm in fail?"
"maybe because they aren't with who you're meant to be with" Meredith said "but than again that can be hard too. God knows Derek and I didn't have it easy" I let out a laugh for the first time since stepping foot in Seattle "no you didn't"
"but in the end, we were happy"
"were you?" I look up at her
"of course" Meredith smiled "he's McDreamy how could I not be" we shared a laugh at the use of the nick name Derek had gotten "you know" she looked around the bar "I met him right there" she pointed to a spot at the bar "I came here that night to clear my head and my nerves, little did I know my life would change" she smiled
"god works in mysterious ways" a smile graced my face "Arizona and I technically met here too"
"in the bathroom" Meredith laughed
"yeah" I say sadly, the smile gone as memories of that night played through my head
"hey, you'll get her back, she's your McDreamy"
"more like McSexy" I could tell the alcohol was taking effect I hadn't admitted that in a long time, but that didn't change the fact that Arizona is sexy, everything about her was sexy, her eyes, her smile, that cute laugh, the way she walked, although was different now with an artificial leg. I looked down again thinking about that day in the therapist office when Arizona laid her heart out. "I don't know Mer"
"what don't you know"
"what if she can't forgive me for what was said at the hearing?" I looked up into her eyes, Meredith reached out for hand "I think she already has, but the question is" she paused "have you forgiven yourself?" she let that sink in, I see her look up at the door I had just heard open, letting out a breath, my back was to the door and I couldn't see who walked in.
Meredith
Alex and Arizona walk in. Arizona walked directly to the bar but Alex caught sight of me we shared a smile and a nod. After getting their drinks I see Alex usher Arizona to the other side of the bar. Quickly pulling out my phone when I felt it vibrate with a text from Alex 'operation calzona' the text read, a smile graced my face as I replied with 'I'm on it' putting my phone back into my bag and I look at Callie again. "you need to talk to her"
Arizona
Sitting down on a stool, it was easier for me with my leg if we sit at a high-top table. Alex perched himself across "well, you got me here" he said
"I did" I smile, taking a drink of my wine
"anything you want to talk about?" I see him take a drink of his beer, setting it back down on the table. I just look at him, remnants of the conversation from earlier playing in my head. 'I need more to drink' "I need a stronger drink" Alex nodded then stood going to the bar. Coming back a few minutes later with a tray full of shots. "that'll do" I say reaching out for one, downing it in one quick motion. "I don't know Karev" I sigh
"well, I don't know either" Alex leans forward putting his elbows on the table "maybe you should call Torres"
"why?" I asked looking at him "wait no, no I am not doing that, she's happy in New York, she's got a new life she's got" I stopped, and Alex said "she's single"
"she's single" I repeat "but she"
"have another drink" Alex handed me another shot. I gladly take it tossing it back "I have to pee" I say after downing the last of my wine. The time seemed to fly by, I had not noticed but we had been there almost two hours already. I see Alex nod, as I slide off the stool and make my way to the bathroom.
Callie
"just talk to her" I hear Meredith say waving her hand in the air, the shots of tequila consumed over the last two hours made her quite inebriated
"I'm going pee" I say standing up, I don't really have to go but needed to get away from my drunk friend trying to talk me into telling my ex-wife I was still in love with her. My head full of thoughts of Arizona and the day we first met, I stood at the sink in the bathroom. Lost in thoughts, I didn't hear one of the stall doors open, looking up into the mirror I was met with the blue eyes I fell in love with 10 years ago. "Calliope" I hear my name come out softly, Arizona was surprised to see me.
"Arizona" I said back in the same tone at least that is how I thought it sounded. Thinking about this woman for the past month, I should have figured this would be how we would see each other again, but before I could do or say anything else, Arizona was wrapping her arms around me, our lips meeting. Obviously, she was just as drunk as me, all rational thoughts gone, I leaned into the blonde deepening the kiss. The next thing I knew I had Arizona pinned up against the door, kissing her hard.
Arizona
I heard the door to the bathroom open, as I finished up in the stall, opening the door I was shocked to see the woman who was never far from my mind "Calliope" I wasn't sure if I said it out loud or not but when the Latina turned to look at me and our eyes locked, I found myself flying forward wrapping Callie in my arms, and kissing her hard, the next thing I know Callie had me backed up against the door, kissing me. I could feel every nerve ending in my body stand up. I wanted this so badly, but right now in this place was not the right time. "Calliope" I say breathlessly pulling back from the kiss.
"I… sorry" Callie said pulling away, I was instantly missing the contact 'maybe Karev was right and there was still something there' my slightly drunk mind started going into overdrive. "what are you doing here" I manage to ask watching Callie stumble back towards the sink.
"I… I don't know anymore" Callie turned away, I could tell she was crying, and trying to hide it. "Callie" I say softly walking forward putting my hand on her back, Callie turned to our eyes meeting, her eyes red with tears that were streaming down her face "I'm sorry" she said moving around me to the door. "Callie, wait" I called after her, she just stopped at the door looking back "I came back for you" she said opening the door and walking out, leaving me standing in the bathroom, stunned. I stood there, still feeling Callie's lips on mine. Letting out a long sigh I washed my hands and left the bathroom. 'Once again, our first kiss had to be in that smelly bathroom' I was laughing to myself when I got back to the table. "what's so funny" Alex asked
"um, well it's seems I have run into my ex-wife in the bathroom and had a little make out session"
"what" I hear Alex laugh
"yeah" picking up my full wine glass 'he must have gotten me another one' downing it in one gulp. "did you know she was here?"
"well um" Alex said looking across the bar seeing Meredith and Callie sitting on the other side, he nodded towards them "yes I did"
"and you didn't tell me?" I hit him in the arm
"ouch" he rubbed his arm, for a small woman I could hold my own
"stop being a baby" I look at him as he begins "no, I didn't tell you because I wanted you to admit you still have feelings for her" we both looked back at the other side of the bar Callie had her head down on the table "before she left the bathroom she said she came back for me" I say quietly, I see Alex look at me and smile "there's your chance" he nodded towards the couple. We could tell from where we were that Meredith was drunk "come on" he stood up heading in their direction.
Callie
I sat down at the table with a groan putting my head down on it "what" Meredith asked
"she was in the bathroom"
"did you talk to her?" Meredith asked with a smile
"we may have kissed"
"may have? Callie, what the fuck, that's the second time in that bathroom" Meredith laughed
"I know" I groan banging my head softly on the table "I should just go back to New York and pretend this never happened"
"too late now" Meredith smiled, nodding behind her, I can only assume that Arizona and Alex were headed our way, I saw Alex when I went into the bathroom "you're busted" she laughed
"great" I put my head down again
"hey ladies" Alex smiled as they reached them, I shake my head and stood 'I really can't do this right now' "I'm gonna go Mer, thanks for the" I pause "just thanks" I stumbled backwards, maybe I was a little too drunk, because when I stumbled I fell right into Arizona who caught me "where are you staying" I hear Arizona whisper in my ear, shivers running through my body "hotel" I manage to get out.
"I'll make sure she gets there" Arizona said wrapping her arm around me, I can feel her touch all the way to my core. "you don't have to"
"Calliope" Arizona whispered again in my ear "I want to"
"just let me know you got home safe" Alex said turning to look at the other drunk friend at the table. "ok" Arizona tightened her hold around me and we made our way to the door. Once outside oddly enough there was a cab waiting, she let me in first then climbed in herself, I mumbled to the driver where to go and we were off. It didn't take long and we were exiting the cab, I stood outside while Arizona paid and thanked the driver. "which floor" Arizona asked her arm around me again.
"five" I slurred, seeing Arizona hit the button to the elevator, once inside she hit five, once the door closed, I leaned back against the wall feeling it's coolness "why are you doing this" I ask my voice sad
"because you're drunk, and I need to make sure the mother of my child gets home safe" Arizona said "and we need to talk" she added quietly
"we do" I say, I was surprised that she even heard me, shaking her head as the door opened "which way"
"right 515" I say, and I knew she knew exactly which room we were going to. "key" she said standing outside the door, she watched me fumble around in my pockets, pulling out a key card trying and failing at getting it to slide into the slot like it was supposed to, Arizona took it from me, sliding it and opening the door "you're amazing" I smile looking up into those blue eyes 'god I miss looking into those'
"come on, let's get some water" I went and sat on the bed, while Arizona went to the mini fridge and pulled out 2 bottles of water, handing one to me, she took a seat next to me on the bed. "Arizona" as I said her name, I could feel the goosebumps run through my body. She knew I was drunk
Arizona
'she's drunk, this was one way to get the truth out of her' I took a long drink from my water "Callie, why are you here?" I asked softly
Callie looked up at me, brown eyes full of haze, and beginning to water "Penny and I broke up a couple months ago" I could tell she was trying hard not to slur her words
"ok" I nod hoping she would keep going, "Arizona, I" Callie put her head down, "I'm sorry" she let out in a sigh
"hey" I say softly, moving my hand so I could make her look at me "why are you sorry?"
"I'm sorry about everything" Callie said she was looking directly into my eyes "I'm sorry for leaving you, for the things that were said, for moving. And most of all" Callie stopped "for making you think I don't love you"
"you love me?" I asked, it came out in a whisper, but to my surprise Callie had heard me "yes" Callie moved closer "I have always loved you"
"I... I" I didn't know what to say, I knew what I wanted to say, but I couldn't say that, even in my drunken haze, I wasn't ready to admit to my ex-wife that I was still in love with her? That I never stopped loving her? And watching her leave to move across the country with some other woman had killed me. My thoughts were cut short, and I could not say anything when Callie's lips pressed against mine, pushing her back on the bed. Everything inside me was screaming for me to put on the brakes, we needed to talk before this could happen again, but the alcohol we had both consumed earlier that day made all rational thoughts go out the window. It did not take long before we were both undressed, and loud moans filled the room.
Callie
My eyes opened, and I let out a groan my head is killing me, I could hear the rain pelting against the window, that is not helping. Closing my eyes for a moment, I felt movement from the other side of the bed, groaning again, when I realized it was not a dream, looking over I see some blonde locks of hair on the pillow, on closer inspection I saw Arizona's leg leaning against the end table. 'oh fuck', slowly moving so I could get out of bed without disturbing the other occupant I made my way to the bathroom. Flicking on the light was a bad idea, as soon as I did my head pounded more. "fucking hell" I groaned making my way to the toilet. I sat there, head pounding, I finish up, reaching for the robe that hung on the back of the door I put it on, slowly opening the door, not wanting to wake Arizona yet. I am so not ready for the conversation I knew we needed so desperately to have. Especially after what happened last night, even though I can't remember anything the lack of clothes I woke up with, and the way Arizona was laying in the bed, I knew that we had sex. As quiet as I could, my head still pounding I took a deep breath and made my way to the small coffee pot that was standard in most hotel rooms when I hear Arizona say "good morning"
Arizona
Waking up to the feeling of someone moving beside me, I was not used to that, I haven't slept in the same bed as someone since it was Callie sleeping next to me. Sudden realization of what had happen the night before, I close my eyes not ready to face what had happened, listening to the rain pelt against the window, holding my breath until I hear the bathroom door click shut. "what the fuck did I do" I brought my hand to my head. Taking another deep breath, I reached for my prosthetic, 'at least I left that at a close distance' quickly putting it on, then stood finding my clothes scattered around the room. I find everything except for my panties, I decide that I didn't need them anyway, I was just going home. Once I was dressed, I sat down on the edge of the bed letting out a deep breath, the bathroom door opened and Callie came out. Watching her I decide to say something "good morning"
"morning" Callie croaked out "it'll be ready soon" she flipped the switch on the small coffee pot
"how are you feeling?"
"like death" Callie sat down on the edge of the bed, putting her head in her hand
"you were pretty gone last night"
"yeah, I know" Callie said letting out a breath
"we should talk"
"not right now"
"later" I say in almost a demanding tone, standing up "I'll call you later we can meet up" I walked over to her, but she didn't look up or say anything "Callie"
"yes later" she said in a cold tone, I leaned down placing a soft kiss on Callie's forehead not saying anything as I picked up my jacket, that was the only thing that had landed somewhere not all over the room, giving one more look at Callie I opened the door and left. Once inside the elevator, I let out a long breath "what the hell" shaking my head, it was pounding but not too bad. Suddenly remembering that I had to get my car from the hospital and get home to a nice long soak in the tub, and a cup of coffee.
Callie
Sitting on the bed cursing myself, I should have said something before Arizona left. "you idiot" I said out loud, wincing at the pounding in my head, I came to Seattle to tell her I am still in love with her, but instead I end up having a drunken one-night stand with the woman. Shaking my head, I stood to find some pills, and a cup of coffee, and a long shower. Once out of the shower I pick up my phone, seeing there was a text message from Meredith 'you get back to the hotel'
'yeah, I'm good' I replied
'how you feeling?'
'death' I typed out with a laugh hit send then started typing some more 'had a drunken roll in the hay with my ex-wife' I hit send set the phone down reaching for the coffee as it started to ring picking it up hitting the answer button "what do you mean you had a roll in the hay with your ex-wife"
"well, um" I cleared my throat "I'm not sure how it happened but I woke up next to her" pausing for a moment then added "naked"
"god Cal, you're fucked" Meredith laughed
"don't I know it" I let out a long sigh sitting back in her chair, running a hand through my hair
Arizona
By the time I got to my car the phone was ringing seeing it was Alex I hit answer "hi"
"you never text me"
"I know I'm sorry, things got a little" I couldn't say anymore, I don't even remember how it had happened
"you sleep with Torres" I didn't say anything surely my silence said enough "oh my god Robbins, you did" letting out a breath I said "yeah"
"well, I don't want details" he laughed
"I won't" I quickly switch the call to the car, started it and headed out of the parking lot "how are you feeling?"
"I'm not sure, I know she and I need to talk"
"that's apparent" Alex let out in a laugh "hey I gotta get to work but I'll call you later maybe we can get a drink"
"ugh no more drinks" I groan
"fine coffee" Alex laughed "I'll catch you later" he hung up, I hit the button on my steering wheel to make sure the call had ended, it didn't take me long before I was home. Once inside the house I got the coffee maker doing its magic, and went to use the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror I saw a small mark on my neck, I smile, Callie always loved kissing my neck. Shaking the thought away 'I need coffee' so I made my way back to the kitchen pouring myself a cup of the hot brown liquid and sat down at the table pulling out my phone sending a message to Callie 'we NEED to talk'
Callie
I hear my phone ping with a message picking it up and read 'we NEED to talk' I took a deep breath "I know we do but I can't right now" I say out loud then put the phone down, not bothering to reply. Taking another deep breath, I felt the sting of tears building, instead of stopping them like I had most the day before I just let them fall. I do not have many regrets in life but the one thing I did regret was letting Arizona Robbins go.
