AN: I have a feeling that a lot of you in the comments are the same people from the Grey's group I'm in on facebook. Lol. I'm going to address your complaints only once then never again. First, simply tagging Callie and Arizona in the same story does not automatically make it a Calzona story. If you can't comprehend from the description that they are divorced and Arizona has a new love interest, I don't know what to tell you. Second, tagging the characters in MY story because they are actually in MY story does not make me a bitch. You all calling me a bitch for how I tag the characters in MY story makes you a child. I will be reporting any such comments from here on. Third, I do not hate Callie. I am actually a fan of her character (though it seems from the comments that a lot of you hate Arizona). This is not a "mary sue" fanfic (first time I've ever even heard of that but find it interesting that was the conclusion after only one chapter) and Callie is not a villian so calm down. I don't understand why all of you are so worked up over a fictional character in a fictional story anyway but I digress on that point. Fourth, ARIZONA IS SOFIA'S MOTHER. Saying otherwise is completely rude and disrespectful to all non-biological parents. I will be reporting any such comments from here on. As for doing my research, rest assured, I have done it several times over (and by research I mean watched the show). It was only specified that Arizona was first to retain a lawyer. It was never specified who actually sued for sole custody. Arizona is Sofia's legal parent so Callie would've needed either Arizona's permission, which she didn't have, or a court order granting her sole physical custody to move Sofia out of state. By that logic, it's safe to assume that Callie is the one who sued for sole custody because she is the one who wanted to move her out of state. As I stated before, I welcome comments that are respectful and constructive. Calling me a bitch is neither respectful nor constructive. Telling me you're not interested in my story is not constructive either (or necessary). If you're not interested in a non-Calzona story, simply don't read it. My feelings won't be hurt. Saying that an adoptive parent is not a parent is not respectful or constructive. Saying that I'm provoking people (although I'm not sure what the provocation is) so I can complain when they are mean to me is not constructive and ridiculous. If you use not getting your way as an excuse for not being a decent human being (you don't get a free pass because it's the internet) then I honestly don't want you to read my story anyway. Peace and blessings. Hope everyone has a great day.

Chapter 3: Arizona's Mystery Woman

The next morning, Arizona's alarm went off at six thirty. She was working on four and a half hours of sleep and a major headache. She was regretting those five vodka tonics as she got up and started to get ready for work. She put on a pot of coffee and went to shower while it brewed. Standing in the shower under a cool flow of water, she worked on both waking herself up and soothing her headache away. When she got too cold, she made the water warmer. She washed off the makeup she'd been too tired to wash off before bed last night then washed up the rest of her body before getting out of the shower. Dried off and wrapped up in a towel, she brushed her teeth then went to her closet to pull out her clothes. Once she was dressed, she went back to her bathroom and grabbed the bottle Tylenol from the medicine cabinet and shook two tablets into her hand before returning the bottle to the shelf. She grabbed her purse and went down to the kitchen, took down a travel mug and filled it coffee, fixing it up the way she liked before taking down a glass and filling it halfway with water to take her Tylenol. After setting the glass in the sink, she took her coffee mug and her purse and headed out the door.

Thankfully, she hit minimal traffic on her way to the hospital. She really didn't need to be any later than she already was. She had called the hospital on her way in to have her first consult of the day pushed to the afternoon which meant she wouldn't have time for lunch with Callie. They were supposed to talk about whether they would let Sofia go on a co-ed camping trip next weekend. She hated camping but Sofia seemed excited about it so she was fine to let her go. Callie on the other hand thought she was too young to be camping with boys. She wouldn't be happy about her putting off their talk again. Sofia needed to turn in her permission slip on Monday if she would be allowed to go so they had to talk sometime this weekend. Her unplanned late night out had put a kink in the start to her day. Still, she thought it was worth it because she got to meet Joey. She couldn't wait to see her again. She hoped she would call her sometime today. If she didn't want to seem too over-eager, maybe she'd call tomorrow. She parked her car, went inside and up to the fourth floor attending's lounge.

"What happened to you?" Alex asked as she rushed in with a pair of scrubs in her hand.

"What?"

"You look terrible" he said before taking a bite of the breakfast sandwich he was eating.

"Thank you" she said sarcastically. Alex Karev was arguably her biggest success story. She'd trained him from a rugged, undisciplined resident to the less rugged, incredibly brilliant and kind chief of pediatric surgery he'd become. He was also one of her closest friends. But he was still a pain in her ass. "I didn't get much sleep last night".

"I can tell" he said with his mouth full.

"You could be less honest" she said taking her scrubs and going in the bathroom to change.

"What's the fun in that?" she heard him ask as she pushed the door shut behind her. She quickly changed into her scrubs and when she emerged from the bathroom, Meredith had joined Alex in the lounge.

"Good morning Dr. Robbins" she greeted her cheerfully.

"Good morning Dr. Grey" she said returning the pleasantry with a slight frown. The high pitch of her unusually happy voice made her head bang a little harder.

"What's with you?" Alex asked suspicious of her good mood.

"I have an awesome surgery today. It's gonna be a good, bloody mess and I. can't. wait" she said happily.

"Turn your happiness down. It's too early to be that bright" he groaned.

"Ok. I'm running on just a few hours of sleep and my head is killing me" Arizona said walking over and joining them at the table. "What's your excuse for being such a grouch this morning?"

"I'm not a grouch. You two are just unnaturally chipper" he said finishing the last of his sandwich.

"We are more chipper than normal" Meredith concurred. "Well, I am" she amended. "You're always unnaturally chipper" she said looking at Arizona while she sipped her coffee. Arizona feigned fake offense with a scoff and a side eye.

"Umm, excuse me Dr. Robbins" a familiar voice called in to the lounge. Dr. Schmidt stood in the doorway with his tablet in hand.

"Yes, Dr. Schmidt" she said politely.

"Oh, uh, I-" he stammered.

"Spit it out glasses. What do you want?" Alex asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry, it's just… you called me Dr. Schmidt and nobody ever really calls me that. It's always glasses or bloodbank or Dr. Snitch or something else that's…"

"Nobody cares" Alex said cutting him off.

"Alex" Meredith and Arizona said at the same time in a scolding tone.

"Right, of course. Sorry" he apologized again. Schmidt had a myriad of unflattering nicknames, the newest being Dr. Snitch which he acquired for the unfortunate accidental reporting of Dr. Grey's insurance fraud. It was a welcomed surprise to actually be referred to with some respect. "I, um, I'm on your service today. I pre-rounded on all of your patients and your eight o'clock consult is ready when you are" he said finally getting out what he'd come there to say.

"Thank you Dr. Schmidt. I'll meet you there" she said sending him on ahead of her. "Such a grouch" she said turning back to Alex.

"What? That guy is weird" he said with a shrug.

"We used to say the same thing about you" Meredith said before taking another drink of her coffee.

"No. You used to say I was an ass" he corrected.

"That's true" she agreed with a snicker. "So, do we get to know what kept you up last night?" she asked turning her attention to an overly tired Arizona.

"N-nothing" she said getting up from the table.

"Oh, it's definitely something. Did you get laid?" Arizona's eyes got wide. "You got laid didn't you?" he asked in a teasing tone. Meredith gasped.

"Is that why you didn't get enough sleep?" she asked joining in on the teasing. "Were you up all night doing the nasty?" she asked slyly.

"N-n-no" Arizona stuttered. Alex and Meredith both laughed.

"You were" Meredith said pointing at her now blushing cheeks.

"I was not" she said more definitively. She grabbed her stethoscope and put it around her neck before picking up her coffee. "Both of you, inappropriate" she said as she walked out to the sound of their laughter. She went to her consults then checked in on her post op patients, including the twenty-seven-week old preemie she delivered in a crash c-section earlier in the week. While she was in the NICU, Alex continued to pester her about who she'd slept with the night before even though she was adamant she hadn't slept with anyone. It continued in the cafeteria at lunch.

"She won't give it up" he said to Meredith who was also very interested in Arizona's sleepless night.

"There's nothing to give up" she said in an exasperated tone. "I didn't have se…" she stopped when Jo sat down next to her husband. "I didn't have sex with anyone" she said in a hushed tone.

"Oooh" Jo said interested in the conversation, "you getting lucky?" she asked Arizona as she opened her bottle of orange juice.

"No" she said quickly. "They just think I am".

"You said you didn't get a lot of sleep last night and you were definitely hung over which means you went out last night. So give it up" Alex said stealing one of her fries. "who was she?"

"You better tell him or he'll never stop" Meredith said before shoving another forkful of salad into her mouth. Callie plopped herself down in the chair next to Arizona.

"I thought you said you didn't have time for lunch" she said with some annoyance as she stole a few of her fries. Arizona finished chewing and swallowing the bite of sandwich in her mouth before answering.

"I said I didn't have to time to talk to you at lunch" she corrected. "And I don't. I have" she looked at her watch, "five more minutes to eat then I have an amniotic band resection".

"Well, we have to talk about Sofia" she said impatiently.

"I don't know what else there is to talk about" she said putting two fries in her mouth. "I think it's fine if she goes".

"You said she wouldn't go unless we agreed" she reminded her.

"Where's she going?" Meredith asked curiously.

"Camping trip" they said simultaneously.

"Callie doesn't think we should let her go" Arizona said expounding on their argument.

"You don't even like camping" Callie said mildly annoyed.

"I'm not the one going" she replied over her mouthful of food. "Sofia wants to go and I don't see the problem".

"What's wrong with camping?" Jo asked. "I like camping. It's super fun". Alex turned his nose up. "What?" she asked defensively, noticing his grimace. "It is".

"It's co-ed and I think she's too young to be camping with boys" Callie said explaining her position against the trip.

"There are separate cabins for boys and girls and it's supervised". Arizona thought Callie was being ridiculous about the whole thing. It was just a camping trip. Callie scoffed as if those points didn't matter. "You remember the time you said you didn't want our daughter to be raised by your father?"

"Yeah?" Callie questioned more than answered, trying to remember exactly when she'd said that.

"You're being your father" she said in a whispered tone. Callie gasped in offense.

"Take it back". Arizona shook her head as she took a drink from her straw.

"You know what, it's fine. She won't go" she said with a shrug.

"Thank you" Callie said accepting the win.

"But you're gonna tell her" she added as she collected her trash.

"Wha…" Callie was about to argue but Arizona wasn't going to give on the condition.

"You're the one against her going so you get to tell her she can't go". She got up from her chair and picked up her tray. "I have surgery".

"Arizona..."

"I have to go" she said before she could get a word in.

"So you're not gonna tell us wh…."

"Shut it Karev" she said over her shoulder as she walked away.

"Tell us what?" Callie asked nosily as she took one of Meredith's apple slices and popped it in her mouth.

"Nothing" Meredith said quickly before Alex could start talking. She proceeded to talk about the tumor she and Jo had resected in the first half of their day. It was just as good and bloody as Meredith had hoped. They had gotten clean margins and their patient was stable and resting comfortably in post op recovery. The perfect finish to the first half of their day. Once she'd successfully steered the conversation away from Arizona's late night out, she steered it back to Callie's reservations about Sofia going on the camping trip. They talked about it until they were all paged to the ER for incoming traumas from a multi-car accident. Arizona came down to help once she was done with her surgery. There were no pregnant patients for Arizona to tend to so she lended an extra hand to Alex on the peds patients that came in. They cleared the ER and got all the patients who needed surgery up to the OR. The rest were either admitted or treated and sent on their way. Arizona wasn't needed in the OR so she checked on her post ops for the last time for the day, updated all of her charts then headed out for the day. It was her night with Sofia and she'd promised her a movie night so they went to the store to pick up snacks and ice cream before heading home. It was a night of pizza, caramel popcorn, BBQ potato chips, three flavors of ice cream and Disney princess movies. They watched movies until they were both fighting to keep their eyes open. Sofia argued saying she didn't have school the next day. She said they could watch one more then it was off to bed. They settled on the couch for one more movie. They weren't a full half hour into it before Sofia was fast asleep. Arizona was regretting not sticking to her guns and making her go to bed. Soon she'd be much too big for her to carry to her bed. She was just thankful her bedroom wasn't upstairs. She tucked her in and shut off her light then went up to her own room for some much needed sleep.
