Summary: Arizona has been awake for twenty four hours now taking care of babies and preemies in the NICU. Callie tries to get her to take a nap.
"Calliope! What are you doing? I told you I can't leave yet, Alex can't take care of all the preemies and babies alone!" Arizona tried to put up a fight, but frankly, she was too tired to do so.
"Yes he can." Callie turned to Alex, "Karev, if there's an emergency, you page me. And only if there's an emergency."
Alex nodded and took over the charts.
Arizona let Callie discard the pink hospital gown for her and let herself be led to the nearest on-call room.
Callie sat next to Arizona on the bed.
"Sweetie, you've been up for an entire day. You need to rest."
"Calliope…"
Seeing that Callie won't budge until Arizona gets some sleep, the blonde sighed and laid down on the bed. As soon as her back hit the mattress, Arizona let out a huge breath. It felt good.
"Join me?" Arizona said, looking at her wife with puppy dog eyes.
"Of course."
Arizona scooched over to give Callie some space on the bed. She turned to face the wall and Callie joined her on the bed, wrapping a protective arm around Arizona. The blonde pulled Callie's hand close to her chest and placed a kiss on it.
"Hey," Callie whispered. Arizona turned her head slightly, "I'll still be here when you wake up, I promise." Arizona nodded and closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
Callie pressed a kiss on Arizona's shoulder and drifted off to sleep as well.
