A/N: So what are our thoughts so far? I promise this 'incident' will not last too long; it's not a subject I want to drag out. There will be therapy etc for Callie but not much 'talk' about the incident. I realize this is a very sensitive subject for a lot of people.

Callie's POV

I wake up and I hear what sounds like beeping machines all around me. I can't open my eyes yet, so I lie still and just listen to my surroundings. The machines sound familiar to me. It kind of sounds like I'm in a hospital hooked up to machines, but I'm not sure why. I try to move my arm and GOD DAMN that hurts, that wasn't a good idea. I can barely hear people talking, it sounds muffled. I know I'm not alone in the room. I try to open my eyes and groan from the pain.

"Ms.?"

"W-Wh-What happened? Where am I?"

"You are in a hospital and you are very badly injured."

"W-Water please?"

I can feel a straw touch my lips and I wrap my lips around it and take a drink to try to get rid of the dryness I have going on in my mouth.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure, we were waiting for you to wake up, hoping you could tell us. There was a woman that brought you in, saying she found you on the side of the road beside what appeared to be your car broke down. Can you remember anything? Can you tell us your name?"

I take a few minutes to try and collect my thoughts and slowly things start coming back to me. OH SHIT! This isn't good.

"WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER?"

"I'm sorry Ms., you were the only one brought in here."

"She's at the sitters, she wasn't with me" I thank my lucky stars I took her to the sitters before I went for a drive to clear my head.

"My name is Callie Torres. What are my injuries?"

"That's not what matters right now Ms. Torres. We need to get you healed and feeling better."

"I'm a doctor; just tell me what the damage is. PLEASE"

"Well from looking at your scans and chart, it's a lot. You have a badly bruised and beaten eye socket; your eye is swollen shut. Once the swelling goes down we will scan again to make sure your sight wasn't impacted. You have multiple broken ribs, lacerations over a lot of your body, a broken arm, sprained ankle, but your head CT looks clear from what we can tell right now."

"Damn, no wonder it hurts to breathe and I can't open my eye. D-D-Did you do a rape kit? I was beaten by someone who stopped to help me with my car; or so I thought that was his plan. I don't think he .. he did anything but I just want to be sure. "

"No we did not, but we can run one now."

I cannot believe I'm in this position. What the hell am I going to do with Sofia? She can't see me like this. I wonder if Arizona will be willing to take her for a while, there is NO god damn way I'm leaving her with Penny. I am interrupted from my thoughts by a new voice in the room.

"Ms. Torres?"

"Yes, and please call me Callie."

"I'm detective Olivia Benson. I'm from the special victims unit. Could you tell me what happened?"

"I need to pick my daughter up from the sitter's; once that's done I will tell you everything I can remember"

"Well, they won't let you leave so if you want to give me the address and maybe call ahead I can get one of my detectives to pick her up for you."

"Callie is there anyone here that can look after your daughter for a few days for you. I don't think she should be here, seeing you like this."

"No, I don't know anyone here except my ex-girlfriend and there's no way in hell I would leave Sofia with her. I can hopefully get my ex-wife to come get her and take her for a while or she can stay here at my apartment with her. My ex-wife; Arizona is Sofia's other mother so it should be no problem."

"Okay, do you need me to call her for you?"

"I don't know if I can so that would be great. I just need my cell to get you her number. Do you know where my stuff is?"

"I think it is out there at the nurse's station, let me go look"

Det. Benson comes back with my stuff and I look through it for my phone. I don't think I can talk to Arizona right now. I don't know what I would say to her. I've got a massive headache and they've got me on pain meds.

"Thanks Det. Benson"

"Please, call me Olivia"

"Okay … Olivia, thank you. Her name is Arizona Robbins; she's a doctor at Seattle Grace Mercy West in Seattle. When you talk to her, tell her to call my dad, he will get her here sooner than any flights can; just tell her to tell him it's about getting to Sofia."

"Okay I will and you're very welcome. Callie, we have all the man power possible on your case, we will find this guy. We got a statement from the group of people that found you. They followed the ambulance here. I will be back in a bit; I'm going to go call your ex-wife. It's Arizona you said?"

"Yes"

Olivia's POV

I dial the number Callie gave me and it's ringing. Callie told me her and her ex-wife split long ago and the split was pretty good between them. They have both moved on, however Callie also told me her ex-girlfriend lives here. Not sure of the story there but I have to say I am curious.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Arizona … Dr. Arizona Robbins?"

"It is; who is this?"

"Dr. Robbins, I'm detective Olivia Benson from the Special Victims Unit here in New York"

"I'm sorry. You're from what department?"

"The Special Victims Unit"

"OH GOD. Did something happen to Sofia? Calliope?"

"If by Calliope, you mean Callie Torres; then yes I'm afraid she's been the victim of an assault"

"OH GOD NO! Is she okay? Please tell me she's okay. What about Sofia, where is she?"

"Sofia; your daughter is fine, she is at the sitter's. Callie is not okay per say, she's in the hospital, but she is alive yes. She's been beat up pretty bad. Sorry, the reason I'm calling … She's asked me to call you to see if it was possible for you to take some time off work and either come stay here with your daughter or maybe take your daughter there with you. Callie doesn't want Sofia to see her like this"

"Tell her I'm on the next flight! Where is she now?"

"She's at the hospital, 5th floor, room 502"

"Okay, tell her I'm on my way and where is Sofia right now?"

"She was at the sitter's; I have one of my detectives on the way to pick her up. I will keep her here with me in the waiting room until you can get here. Callie mentioned something about calling her dad that he could help"

"Oh, he can yes! I will call him now and be there in a few hours. Please take care of both of them till I get there. We will talk soon"

"Okay will do, see you in a few hours"

"Bye"

"Bye"

I'm not sure of the story there but I will be sure to ask about it later on. I make my way back into Callie's room to let her know Arizona is on the way. I'm very curious about that relationship though. Callie said they've divorced and both moved on, but I can't help but wonder.

"Callie" I whisper in case she is asleep

"Yes?"

"I've gotten a hold of Arizona; she is calling your dad now and said she should be here in a couple of hours. My detective has collected your daughter and is on her way back here. I will keep your daughter with me in the waiting room until your ex shows up."

"You don't have to do that, you must be very busy."

"It's no trouble; I have a little one at home, so I'm very familiar with keeping kids entertained for a little while. You get some sleep and I will send Arizona in once she arrives."

"Thank you Detective … sorry Olivia"

"No problem, I'm just down the hall if you need anything"

"Thanks"

I make my way down to the waiting room just as Detective Rollins is walking up with a little girl I can only assume is Sofia. I walk over towards them and introduce myself. I bend down so I am at her level.

"Hi, you must be Sofia. It's nice to meet you. My name is Olivia"

"Hi, where is my mama?"

"Mama is getting looked at by some doctors right now, how about we take a seat over here and wait. I'm also told your other mother is on her way."

"MOMMY'S COMING? YAY!"

We sit and talk for a few minutes and then we both get down on the floor and play with some blocks she has in her back pack. Once we get tired of playing with the blocks, she cleans them all up and takes a book from her back pack.

"O – Oliv"

"Honey, you can just call me Liv that might be a little easier for you"

"Okay Liv. Can you read me a story?"

"Sure I can honey. What story do you want me to read?" She passes me a book in her hand and it's a Disney story.

"This one please"

I sit up in the chair and open the book. Sofia climbs up onto my lap and snuggles in. I wasn't sure if she was going to be a shy kid but she certainly has taken a liking to me. Moments like these are my all-time favorite at home, snuggled up with Noah and reading stories. I start reading the story and before too long I can hear the soft snores coming from the little munchkin. I hear a noise and look up to see a very attractive blonde leaning on the door frame to the room.

"Hi, you must be Detective Benson" she whispers

"Hi and you must be Dr. Robbins" I lean down and gentle shake little Ms. Sofia in my arms until she opens her eyes and looks up at me.

"There's someone here to see you sweetheart"

"MOMMY!" and she jumps out of my lap and runs towards her mother.

"Hi baby girl. Mommy has missed you so much baby." Arizona covers her in kisses

"I missed you too mommy. Mama is hurt and they won't let me see her. Can we go see her together? Please?"

"How about this, I will leave you here with Detective Benson and I will go see if Mama is awake and up for visitors okay?"

"Okay but mommy her name is Liv!"

"Dr. Robbins, it's nice to put a face to the name. Sofia kept asking me when you were getting here; guess she is a little excited to see you. And please, call me Olivia" I hold out my hand to shake hers.

"Thank you so much Olivia for watching them both for me. I haven't seen Sofia in a few weeks so I'm pretty excited to see her as well. You can call me Arizona" as she shakes my hand.

"Do you mind watching her for a few minutes, while I check on Calliope?"

"No, not at all, we've been having loads of fun here."

Callie's POV

I'm lying awake in my bed trying to get comfortable and everything hurts so badly. I can only open one eye. My arm hurts like hell, my head hurts and just my whole body aches. I cannot believe I got through that debacle. I'm lying here wondering what I'm going to say to Arizona when she gets here. We divorced a couple of years ago; however we did split on good terms and have become almost the best of friends and are still great parents to Sofia. I know I don't want Sofia to see me like this. I can only hope she is not giving Olivia too much trouble while waiting for mommy to show up. I am brought out of my own thoughts when I hear a loud gasp coming from the door way.

"Jesus Christ Calliope, what the fuck happened to you?" It's Arizona and I can tell she has tears in her eyes, just by her voice. I close my eyes and let her voice (something familiar) surround me. I start crying the second I hear her voice.

"A-Ari-Arizona?"

"Yes Calliope, it's me. I'm right here. Don't cry." She's now beside me holding my un-injured hand.

"Can you look at me please?"

I open my one eye and even that doesn't open very much. And I try to smile up at her.

"Hi"

"Hey yourself. I'd ask how you are but I can see for myself not so good."

"Sorry I got here as fast as I could. I called Carlos and he sent the jet for me right away. I just told him I needed to get to New York asap as Sofia needed me and he didn't ask any questions. I haven't told him about your … your attack. I didn't think you would want him to see you like this."

"I-I-I don't. I don't want anyone to see me like this, including you but I didn't have a choice with you. I wouldn't want Sofia to be anywhere else but with her mommy. Have you seen her? How is she?"

"Yes I've seen her, she's doing okay, considering. She wants to come in and see you but I told her I would come check on you first and see if you were awake and up for company. I'm so sorry Calliope that this has happened to you."

"It's okay Arizona, it could've been worse"

"HOW?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to yell, but how could it have been worse Calliope? Have you seen yourself? You look like hell. You look like you went 10 rounds in a boxing ring."

"I know, I feel it too, but they are running a r-ra-rape kit just to be sure. I don't think he did anything to me other than the obvious, but I want to know for sure."

"Oh GOD Calliope. I am so sorry sweetheart. Is there anyone I can call for you? Do you want me to call Penny for you?

"NO"

"Oooookay. I sense there's a story there"

"There is, we broke up! Actually she broke up with me this morning, or yesterday, whatever day it is."

"Really? Wow, I didn't see that coming. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Arizona, really there is nothing to talk about. She broke up with me because she isn't happy anymore. We both work too much and with Sofia starting school, she just feels like we were living as roommates and not lovers."

"Are you fucking kidding me? After you packed up your entire life and our daughters and moved here with her she's now not happy? Wow, what a world class bitch!"

"That's a few words for her yup." I smile a little because I know how Arizona feels about Penny.

"So, how's Jess?"

"Jess is great. I explained everything to her and she was very understanding about it all. I told her I didn't know how long I would be here for but I needed to do this. She told me to say hi to you and the munchkin and that she is sorry, even though at the time we didn't really know what happened to you."

"Tell her I said hi and thanks. Is she treating you right Arizona? Are you two still great?"

"We are Calliope, she's been amazing. She knows she has nothing to worry about with you and me, she knows I will always love you but just not romantically. We are best friends and co-parents and that's all we need."

"Yes we are and you're right. That shipped has sailed for you and me to be anything more and I will always love you too Arizona. I'm glad you're so happy with Jess, I really like her. She seems good for you."

"She is and thanks. I'm sorry about Penny, but I'm not really, she was NOT so good for you Calliope. Hopefully when this mess is all over you will get back out there and find your true happiness."

"Arizona, would you be okay taking Sofia back home with you? I just don't want her around to see me lose it here. I know I will need a lot of therapy and I have a long road ahead of me to get this behind me and move on."

"Of course I can Calliope. I didn't really want to stick around in New York and leave Jess for too long but I would've if you needed me here. You know I am just a 'jet' ride away. I will leave tomorrow to go back home. "

"My apartment keys should be in my purse, if you want to stop by and collect some things for the munchkin. You will need to call her school as well and let them know she will be out for a while, the numbers in my cell."

"I will. She keeps asking if she can come in and see you. Do you think if we covered you up a little more you can let her in just for a few minutes to see that you are okay?"

"Yes, I want to see her so bad. I'm just going to tell her I got into an accident; she doesn't need to know anything more."

"I agree, let me go get her. I'll be right back"

I lie there for a few minutes before I hear that very familiar giggle of my baby girl. I don't really want to scare her in my current state but I can't help it, I need to see her; if only for a few minutes.

"Mama, what happened to you? Are you okay?"

"Hey baby, yes mama is okay. I was in a little accident and I need to stay in the hospital for a little while. Do you think it would be okay if you went back home with Mommy and Jess for a while? Just until mama gets all better."

"Of course mama. I love it at mommy and Jess's. It's so much fun! And I will be able to see all my old friends … like ZOLA! What about school mama?"

"It's okay baby girl, I'm going to call them and let them know you are going to a vacation and coming home with me!

"Okay mommy. Mama, are you going to be okay here by yourself, I can stay if you need me to?"

"Aww thanks baby, but I think it's best if you go with mommy for the time being. Mama needs some time to heal and then you can come back okay?"

"Okay mama. When do we leave mommy?"

"We will swing by your apartment and get some of your stuff and be on the plane tomorrow"

"I will need my favorite jammies, stuff bear, and some toys" and she keep listing off things she wants to pack.

"Okay, easy there baby girl, remember you still have lots of that stuff at my place too."

"Oh that's right!"

"Okay, why don't we let mama get some rest and come say goodbye to her tomorrow before we leave?"

"Okay mommy. I love you mama, I hope you feel better soon"

"Thanks baby, me too. I will call you every day okay?"

"Okay mama. Loves you"

"I love you too munchkin. You be a good girl for mommy and Jess okay?"

"I will mama, I promise"

"I'll be right back Calliope"

"Okay"

I lie there and just let the tears flow. I know I am in for a long road ahead to get this mess behind me. I'm just so thankful for Arizona being able to take Sofia for a while. I'm not sure what I would've done then.

"Calliope, is there anything you need from the apartment?"

"No, I think I'm good, thank you"

"Okay, I'm going to get the munchkin and get checked into a hotel for the night before we leave tomorrow. We will come by in the morning and say good bye to you before we leave"

"Sounds good and thank you so much Arizona. You do know you don't have to stay in a hotel though; you can stay at my place. You are a life saver here. I'm just not sure what I would've done without you."

"Calliope, you don't have to thank me, she's our daughter I would go to the ends of the earth for that little girl. I think I would be more comfortable at a hotel though"

"Okay, I know and please thank Jess for me as well"

"I will. I will see you tomorrow then"

"Goodnight Arizona"

"Goodnight Calliope" and she leans over and gently hugs me and places a soft kiss on my cheek.

"I'll send Olivia back in, she was asking about you"

"Thanks"

"Hey Callie"

"Hey Olivia"

"I just wanted to pop in for a quick minute to let you know I will stop in tomorrow to see how you are feeling"

"You don't have to do that you know. I know you must be really busy"

"I don't mind at all, I'm taking a personal interest in your case"

"Thank you for everything today. Calling my ex-wife, getting Sofia, watching her until Arizona arrived. I appreciate it so much."

"It was no problem at all. I know how bad ending a relationship is and trying to adjust to being a single parent"

"You have kids?"

"Yes, I have a little boy at home. He's almost 5 and will be starting school next year. I don't know if I'm looking forward to that part of him growing up"

"Tell me about it, Sofia just started this year. It was tough at first, but we both adjusted to it. I think moving to a new city didn't help matters either. We are making the best of it though."

"Callie, I am so sorry all this has happened to you and if there is anything you need, even if it's just someone to talk to; please call me anytime day or night. I'll leave my card on the table here. It has my work numbers as well as my personal cell number. Please feel free to call any of them anytime"

"I will and thanks again Olivia"

"No problem. Goodnight Callie, I will see you tomorrow"

"Goodnight Olivia"

A/N: So, thoughts?

A/N: Arizona may be in the next chapter but only briefly then it will be it for her in this story, other than talking about her.
