The response at the last chapter made me so happy! I hope you'll like this one too.

I wanted to tell you that I'm trying to create a story in which other characters appear too. Of course it's Calzona based but there'll be interactions with others.. I think that that kind of fanfictions are more realistic and comprehensive.

I wish I were faster at writing but I have to translate each time, so every chapter takes me lots of time.

And I'd like to hear your opinions, so please, feel free to review or message me if you have ideas or advices!

Thanks again! Enjoy!


Disclaimer: These characters are not mine, nor is Grey's. I just borrow some of them for fun.


CHAPTER 11


"I should have it! I'm the one who has been in this house since.. ever! You don't even live here!" he said while he finished spoon-feeding Sofia in the high-chair. "And we are too many already!" He added wiping her mouth.

"I've practically lived here for months, Alex! If I'm not at the hospital, I'm here! Who cooks for you every time, huh?" she put a tray of peas in Alex's hand "Here, bring this to the table!"

"You can't always play the cooking card, we can eat even without you!" he replied.

Taking the little child in her arms, Cristina mumbled "Speak for yourself!"

"Ok, then I play the sister card. Sister beats roommate! I have lots of cards!" she smiled confidently.

Cristina shrugged "I don't want the big room. It takes a lot more time to clean. I just need a bed!" She swung the little child "Are you sure that Callie doesn't want it? Having her.. you know"

"Mer, did you talk to Callie?" Lexie asked her sister as she continued to cut the roasted chicken.

The blonde nodded her head "She doesn't care!" she sipped her wine from the glass "I didn't want to create all this mess by leaving the house guys. It's just a room after all!"

"It's the room, Meredith!" Lexie corrected her with wide eyes.

Alex mocked her mimicking her face "Duhh!"

.

After a while Alex, whose hunger was growing, asked "Dude, how much longer before dinner?"

The younger girl placed the last dish on the table "It's ready... I'm just waiting for Callie to come back!"

In that exact moment they heard the front door open and then close "I'm home!". She apologized for being late at work "What smells so good? Lexie, do you need a hand?"

"Don't worry, we're ready, but you are an excellent roommate! These three here have been watching me for an hour without moving a finger!"

She laughed with her housemates "By the way, where's my baby?"

"We're here! We were waiting for you upstairs!" Cristina said passing the little child who was eager to be in her mother's arms.

"Hi babyyy! Mama missed you so much!" she smooched her "Have you been good this afternoon?"

While Sofia nodded and clapped her hands, Alex answered "She's been very good! We've played in the backyard with the ball!". He tickled her belly, then he looked at Callie "And no fever today, so I think it's safe to take her back to daycare!"

"Thank you guys, seriously, I really don't know what I'd do without your help! Lexie, you too!"

She brought up her hands "See, that's why I need to move in and take that room!" she joked sitting at the dinner table.

Alex threw her a piece of bread, they all laughed and started eating.

"How's the situation at work? I have to go in for the night shift... Something interesting?" Cristina started.

Callie took a bite while keeping Sofia balanced on one leg. "There was a big accident. I think truck against car... So, yeah, lots of trauma and bones... But no heart surgeries, sorry!"

Lexie added sadly "Yeah, I heard from George there was a victim and that they're still operating on two people."

.


"What about the father? He was the one driving I think" Arizona asked for updates about her patient's family.

"Yeah, Webber and Hunt are still working on him" Derek answered.

"Poor kid... Let's pray that at least his dad survives!" Bailey exclaimed suctioning.

Arizona was performing surgery on a 10 year old boy, the most injured in the accident. There were four surgeons in that OR, and they had yet to finish. She was being assisted by Bailey in the abdominal cavity. Beside her, Mark Sloan was cleaning up some burns while Derek was dealing with the head trauma.

"O'Malley, go and ask what's the father's status!"

"But Dr. Sloan, I'm holding..."

"Anyone else can do it.." he looked around and, with his eyes, he silently asked the nurse in front of him to chime in.

"Lindsey!" she timidly whispered.

"Lindsey can hold it! Go! And don't forget to update those charts..."

George was annoyed. It was the first time that week that he was in an OR, but he decided to let go, so he stood at attention and left the room.

.

As soon as the resident was out Sheperd, Sloan's best friend, warned him "Mark, what you are doing it's not right!"

"I don't want him... He can't even stitch a wound! I can't handle him for the whole week!"

Arizona pricked up her ears, maybe that was an opportunity to find out more about this O'Malley.

"We all know you're lying! And your personal business shouldn't affect your job. Leave that stuff out of the OR, that's not professional!" Bailey reprimanded her colleague.

"I don't care about being professional! I can't stand him... Callie was too wretched!"

"Well, you're his teacher anyway, and it's been a while... Callie got over it, you should too!"

So they really were related. Married even. And probably, they weren't anymore, cause Callie had told around to call her Torres again. She wondered what she saw in him.

"What's the big deal?" Arizona asked nonchalantly, trying not to sound too curious.

Bailey replied vaguely "You're still new" she paused extending her hand "Gauze. But in this hospital people have a tendency to share. They talk more about their personal lives than medicine! Other gauze, please. Let's say there is a thick net of relationships between coworkers!"

Instead Mark Sloan, with no filter, stated "O'Malley is an idiot! Luckily he is leaving..."

Derek decided to said something, and he spoke seriously "Yes, he's leaving. And certainly not to have fun, but to protect all of us, including you! George will go at the front so that we can sleep safe. We just have to honor his brave gesture!"

At that, Arizona gasped. Bailey and nurse Lindsey looked at her suspiciously. It was a topic that she didn't like and she didn't expect it, so she stretched her neck, cleared her throat and saying "Sorry, I'm sorry..." she went back to her work.

.


After the operation, Bailey went to the other OR, the one where there was the father. Robbins, instead, after having brought the little patient in intensive care, accepted to take a coffee with her male colleagues.

"How much sugar are you putting in it?"

"I like my coffee sweet!" the blonde explained continuing to sweeten her cup.

"You'll get diabetes!" Mark replied. That had been their first surgery together "By the way, Robbins, I have to say that you're not that bad for being in pediatrics! You could have even joined the 'plastics posse'!"

Hearing that she almost spat her coffee "The plastic what? Ahahahah! Thanks, I'm flattered, but all those butt surgeries aren't for me!"

Derek burst out loud and gave her a high five. Arizona felt sincerely happy that she was being involved, that she was part of something bigger. She was really liking her job at Seattle.

.


Returning in her big office, she went to check the little boy she operated on. He would have woken up without a parent. The only hope was the other one, but he was still fighting between life and death. That case hit close to home. Her thoughts went to little Tommy from Hopkins, whom she had grown fond of, even though she didn't mean to.

If she got attached to all her tiny humans, everything would have been more complicated. She, therefore, tried not to be affected by all of them, but this one, her last pediatric case in Baltimore, was special. She looked at her watch, it wasn't too late to call his grandmother.

Arizona learned from the woman that also her daughter-in-law was deceased. That news broke her heart.

"So, yeah, he's staying with me, but he's always so upset.."

She tried to cover the lump in her throat "There's no one there who can help you, ma'am?"

"I've been getting some help from my two nieces: they live far away, but they've been precious!"

The doctor felt the need to do something more for them. "Well, if you need something please, do not hesitate to call me or ask me for any help! And Mrs. Parker, if you want I can get some informations about some social workers near you, just to be a little assisted.."

"Please! That would be wonderful, dear! You are a godsend!"

.


She was in the cafeteria, having a light lunch with some colleagues, when she heard the intercom calling her.

"Doctor Robbins in geriatrics, Doctor Robbins in geriatrics"

"Uh, that's me!". She got up from her seat sipping from her straw.

Amelia asked "Geriatrics? Why would they want you?"

She shrugged her shoulders and made a 'No idea' face.

"It was nice meeting you Teddy! And Dr. Lin, I'll see you later for that consult!"

.

Arizona had been called from a nurse cause she had a visit from Pauleen. An old man of the center she volunteered at, had slipped during a walk and she was there to accompany him.

"He's fine though?" the blonde doctor asked concerned.

"Yeah, yeah just some bruises. I'm waiting for the x-rays result".

She nodded understanding "Do you want a coffee, while you wait? I didn't get the chance to take it!"

"Yeah, Mr. Geller has my phone number, if necessary... But not the one from the vending machine Doc!"

She started to move towards the cafeteria "Not only you interrupt my lunch, you're even picky!"

"So, tell me about this new job... Do you like the hospital?"

"Yeah, yeah.. I really like it here. Colleagues seems nice and the weather is not as terrible as people always say!"

"You don't seem so enthusiastic though.. No pretty girls?" Pauleen joked receiving a little slap on her arm "Ouch! Come on, you wanna tell me you haven't 'tested the waters' yet?"

They were one beside the other in the elevator when a group of extremely beautiful nurses got in the elevator chatting and laughing with each other, and they pushed the two friends against his wall.

Agape, Pauleen trying not to touch any parts of their very attractive, very sexy, bodies turned toward the blonde frowning and mouthed "Is that legal?"

Arizona giggled and as soon as they were out of there Pauleen yanked her down the corridor "Which one of them did you set your eyes on?"

Shaking her head she said "I just got here, come on! I didn't even have the time!"

"Bullshit! That's not you speaking!"

She laughed ignoring her comment and proceeding in the queue. Although Pauleen was right... Usually, she wasn't one who needed to settle down before finding someone to 'date'.

"You can't be serious! Have you seen them?" Pauleen gaze then moved past the blonde "Come on, look at that!"

There were another pair of young women at the entrance of the room and one of them was bent down to collect something from the ground and you could see a bit of her black thong.

Pauleen continued to stare at her ass and Arizona slapped her again "Stop being a pervert in my workplace!"

"Stop slapping me!" she answered massaging her own arm "How do you even concentrate to work?"

Arizona laughed "They're not that gorgeous!"

Her friend looked at her in disbelief "You're crazy... I think I might come and see you at work more often!"

Reaching the cashier Pauleen ordered for both of them, while Arizona turned back to watch the group of nurses. They really were beautiful, and that wasn't the first time she saw them. She just.. didn't notice their beauty. Totally immune to their charms. She also knew why: between surgeries, consults, the restructure plan and Callie's issue, she still hadn't gotten to know the staff thoroughly, she hadn't known if they had nice boobs, and she hadn't checked if they had blue or brown eyes.

And then, every time she thought about brown eyes she had the image of Callie's. Especially Callie's eyes staring at her after sixteen years.

There was so much behind them. They seemed full of life. She wanted to know everything they had lived.
