FOUR DOCTORS…ONE HOUSE

Avril managed to eat all of her food, simply because Callie promised her pudding. She started fighting her sleep, so Callie rubbed her stomach in a soothing motion. She ran of couple of fingers into the slightly tangled hair as hazel eyes started to drift close. Once she was asleep, Callie looked up to notice Robbins in the room. "I didn't mean to startle you, but I got caught in a trance. You are really good with her. I know that you're the Ortho badass, but have you ever considered PEDS?" Arizona asked. Callie chuckled to herself, "I guess I just know what it feels like to be broken down and hurt." Arizona picked up on something more, "I would say that you're talking about your soon-to-be ex-husband, but I think it's more than that." Callie was running out of fight, "What do you want me to say Arizona?"

Arizona shrugged, "Just admit that you need an unbiased opinion and I'll give it to you." "What? Look you don't know me." "Exactly, I'm not gaining anything out of this situation and I'm cheaper than therapy." Callie chuckled and received a text from Addison [I went to grab the list and keys from Karev. He'll be here all night, but you better not be. You have to take care of the both of you pussycat. I'll get the apartment ready and I'll even grab Miranda]

Callie looked to Arizona, "How much time you got? Therapy is usually an hour-long session." Arizona smiled, showing off her dimples, "As much time as you need, I'm an attending. Let's start simple, when did you learn sign language?" Callie smiled at the memory, "When I was six, right after I learned English. I was in Havana with my uncle." Callie didn't know why she was so comfortable with Arizona, but before she knew it, her entire life story spilled out—the good, bad, ugly, and beautiful. Arizona held Callie's hand the entire time as they both let tears fall. At the end, Arizona hugged Callie tightly, catching her off-guard, and said, "You are incredibly strong. Don't look at your divorce as a failure, it's a win. Your kid is going to be awesome and you're going to be a super awesome mom." Callie pulled away chuckling, "Super and awesome? You really are as perky as people say." Arizona started to respond but stopped when she saw a pair of Nikes standing in the doorway of Avril's room. Her eyes slowly trailed up the fit and curvy form until she saw a pair of chocolate brown eyes smirking at her. "CC, let's go. Miranda told me that I'd probably find you here. What you're doing is noble, but you have a tiny person inside of you and you need to take better care of yourself. So, get up and let me take you home."

Callie finally looked up, "But she's just a child" "In the PEDS ward, and I'm on-call. This is my wheelhouse, I got it Calliope." Arizona said with a warm smile. Callie motioned towards the door, "Arizona is my younger sister Isadora Torres. Isa this is Arizona Robbins, head of PEDS." Isadora was skillfully hiding the fact that she was undressing Arizona with her eyes. "She's only older by two years. I'm actually Head of Vascular and transferring in from Desert Palm in Vegas." Arizona shook her hand while Callie looked on in surprise. "Wait, you're coming here?" "If you thought I was going to let you go through this whole situation in Doom and Gloom by yourself, then you're insane." "But papi" "Knows why I'm doing this. Don't argue, just say thank you. If it weren't for me, then Pote would be here to kill the Keebler elf." Arizona was intrigued by their interaction; Isadora looked at Arizona with a questioning grin, "What?" Arizona shrugged it off and swallowed down her sadness, "I used to be this was with my brother before he died." Both Torres sisters put a comforting hand on her shoulder, "We've been there before too—losing a sibling. You're more than welcome to join the dysfunction." Callie said. Arizona gave a smile that was starting to get under Isadora's skin, "I'd really like that." Callie kissed Avril on the head softly before stopping to ask, "Who's going to sign to her when she wakes up?" Arizona put a reassuring hand on Callie's shoulder, "I have a resident who has deaf parents and his shift starts in 6 hours. It'll be okay." Callie finally let her sister pry her away from Avril's room as they started to leave the hospital. "There still an extra room at the house?" "Yeah, but now that makes Casa Torres officially fully booked."

Callie let Alex know before she left that Avril was being watched by Arizona. "Alex, the police will want a statement." His jaw tensed, "I don't know what to do. I have a feeling that my sister did this but, if she didn't, she'll definitely protect who did. I don't want Avril to have to go through that." "Al, I know that it sucks, but putting it off will not help her heal any faster—especially emotionally. But the two of you will survive this, no matter what happens." Isadora had a knowing smirk on her face as they bid Alex goodnight and went to the parking lot.

Isadora settled in quickly to the house laughing at how Addison had to be reined in by Miranda in the furniture section; on the other hand, the roles were reversed when they got to the children's section with Addison having to almost drag Miranda out the store. The four women and Tucker enjoyed a lovely paella made by Miranda. After a couple of hours, almost everyone was in bed…except the Torres sisters. Callie was sitting on the edge of her bed with documents in her hands. Isadora was in the closet, looking for something to wear the next day, when she heard a phone vibrating. She walked back into Callie's bedroom, "Yours or mine?" Callie replied, "Mine. Alex was just complaining about the cot in Avril's room being uncomfortable." Isadora asked, "What are those?" while motioning to the documents. "Divorce papers. I had my lawyer go back over them to ensure that George couldn't come after my money or any of my investments. My lawyer suggested that I get ahead of childbirth and petition the court for sole custody of my baby." "Is that something you want to do?" "I don't know. Ask me a year ago, I'd tell you that he'd make an excellent father. Now, I don't even know him. He got so snarky and mean after we lost Teagan. It didn't help that his dad died 3 months later. I wouldn't keep this baby from his mom, but I don't want hostility around my child. I don't trust George or Izzie right now, regardless of her being pregnant. I just want to protect my baby." Isadora sat on the bed, "So, petition for sole custody and if things change, then amend it. It's better to go to war with an arsenal then with just what you scramble to get." Callie smiled, "The famous words of Pote and Nazanin. I miss them so much." Isadora looked down at both of their matching tattoos of their sister and sighed, "You know that she'd be so happy for you. She probably would've already had a nursery done by now."

Callie's eyes watered, "I was thinking, that if I had a girl, I'd name her Nazanin." "Please tell me you won't name your son Pote? One of him in this family is enough." They both laughed before Callie said, "I'd probably name him Artuto—especially because Turo gave me the bone marrow that saved my life." Isadora's eyes watered, "I was so scared then. I was scared that my sister would never make it to her 12th birthday. Once you made it past that, I decided that I'd be fearless like my big sister for the rest of my life." Callie wanted to change the mood desperately, "So, you crushing on Arizona?" "You crushing on Alex?"
