As the doctors rushed through the hospital April was waiting for them outside Levi's room.
"Is she okay? Is she talking?" Asked Arizona trying to catch her breathe.
"She's not talking but she's awake and she can move" April said.
"That face? What's that face for?" Asked Meredith waving her hand in-front of April's face.
"She can't remember what happened and we don't know if it's just that or more intense memory loss. She won't talk she just nods" explained April.
Arizona and Meredith stood outside her room looking through the window while Bailey and Webber did their checks on her.
"I want to go in but my brain won't tell my legs to move" Meredith said while looking at Arizona.
"What if she doesn't remember me?" Arizona asked not taking her eyes off Levi through the window.
"She will, she's got to." Meredith tried to reassure her.
Bailey and Webber had finished their checks and stepped out of Levi's room.
"I wouldn't go in their right now, she's very disoriented and won't speak, maybe wait until tomorrow." Explained Webber.
"I know that look, you don't think she's going to remember us!" Arizona snapped.
"I didn't say that but right now she won't even tell us her name so I don't think you two going in there half cut trying to make her talk is what's best for her. Go home, have a sleep and come back tomorrow." Ordered Dr Webber.
Arizona didn't want to leave so she found the nearest on call room and got her head down for the night. She didn't want to go home incase anything happened, she wanted to be at the hospital hoping that Levi would come around and ask for her.
The next morning had arrived and before it even reached 9am, Arizona was outside Levi's room patiently waiting for her to wake up. As the sun started to come through Levi's room window her eyes began to open. Arizona stepped inside not knowing if Levi would even recognise her.
"Hi, I'm Dr Robbins" Arizona said trying to ease Levi into the conversation. "I work at the hospital, I'm not in my scrubs right now but I'm head of-" Levi cut her off.
"Peds" Levi said faintly.
"Yes Peds!" Arizona smiled.
"I,I.." Levi took a deep breath. Arizona grabbed a cup of water and handed it to Levi.
"I remember you, don't worry" Levi smirked.
"You do?" Arizona sobbed.
"Yes, of course I do. The only thing I don't remember is what happened. Yesterday I just couldn't speak my throat was so sore from all tubes" Levi said while coughing in between each word. "But I remember you all and it was frustrating because I could see everyone looking at me like I'd lost my memory and I really wanted to scream and tell you all that I do remember"
"We really thought we'd lost you." Arizona said while grabbing hold of Levi's hand.
"Can you tell me what happened to me?" Asked Levi squeezing Arizona's hand.
"You tried to help a woman on the street and you got shot." Explained Arizona. "You lost so much blood and I thought I'd lost you" Arizona began to cry.
"Hey, look im alive, don't cry." Levi tried to comfort Arizona. "I'm
Here, look at me. I'm right here. I'm
Not going anywhere and it's going to take more than a bullet to kill me." Joked Levi.
"Only you could make a joke in this situation" Arizona said while wiping away her tears.
"I'm going to have a pretty cool scar too" Levi smiled.
Arizona and Levi just looked at each other for a Moment before Arizona stood up and walked to the end of Levi's bed.
"So, when you were asleep, could you hear me?" Arizona asked knowing that just a week a go she had confessed her love for her.
"I feel like I could in the moment but if you asked me now what you said I wouldn't be able to tell you." Replied Levi. "Did you finally confess your undying love for me?" Smirked Levi.
"Well Yeh, I did" Arizona said seriously.
"Oh." Levi's smile widened.
"Why are you smiling like that?" frowned Arizona.
"Because I always knew one day you wouldn't be able to resist me" Levi said with a wink.
"Stop that. Stop acting all coy and that this isn't serious. I tell you I'm in love with you and you act like it's no big deal." Arizona ranted.
"Arizona, I've been shot and survived and the woman I'm in love with has just told me she loves me back, I'm happy and I'm going to smile." Levi said reaching out her hand for Arizona. Arizona grabbed her hand and Levi pulled her gently over to the bed.
"Can't believe it took me to get shot for you to admit it though" laughed Levi.
"Levi! I swear if you make one more stupid joke I'll turn your machines off" smirked Arizona.
"Okay I promise I'll be serious now. Come lie next to me." Asked Levi.
Arizona climbed onto the bed and cuddled into Levi.
"I missed you." Arizona whispered.
"I'd say I missed you but you were all I dreamed about, you were in my head the whole time"
"Really?."
"Really."
Arizona and Levi just lay their, feeling content and happy and nothing could ruin their moment when Meredith walked in.
"Room for another?" She laughed while walking towards Levi.
"For you, always." Levi smiled.
"So I've had a look at your scans" Meredith said.
"And?" Arizona interrupted.
"And well the bullets hit some
Major organs on the way through your body that we couldn't completely repair when you where rushed in because of the loss of blood but we stopped the bleeding, packed you up and hoped that once you woke up we could get you all fixed up."
"But everything is fine?" Asked Levi.
"Well yes, but the surgery to fix these problems, there are risks but just like any surgery and we know what we are doing, you know that."
Explained Meredith.
"Of course, I trust you." Levi said. Arizona climbed out of the bed and worry spread across her face.
"Arizona we got this." Meredith said.
Arizona just looked at Levi then back at Meredith.
"Guys I'm really tired do you mind if I sleep for a few hours before surgery?" asked Levi while yawning.
"Of course not." Arizona said. "I'll come back later before you go into surgery." Before Arizona could finish her sentence Levi was fast asleep.
"Mer, could I speak to you for a second" Arizona asked while walking out the room.
"Sure"
"Promise me you'll not give up on her if anything goes wrong in that OR" asked Arizona.
"Arizona…"
"Promise me Meredith."
"I promise I won't give up." Said Meredith while grabbing Arizona into a hug. "I won't lose her."
