Arizona's POV
It's been four days since our therapy session with Dawson and things have been bad, I mean it's almost as if we were back on the verge of getting a divorce. Callie has been sleeping at the hospital when she changes clothes. It's when I'm working, when it's time for an ortho consultation she makes sure she sends linc and to be honest it was a little irking and childish but I was making sure tonight would be the last night of all this.
Eyeing the latina beauty ducking into an on-call room I decided that there was no time like the present we needed to fix us and do it quickly. Following behind her I entered the room she was occupying. Calliope Iphegnia Torres you are avoiding me i said when I entered the room. 'Wh- I Ari- 'NO Callie we promised each other better communication and yet you are running from me like a child. Walking towards her I pinned her against the wall. I missed you Callie. Sighing, she wrapped her arms around me and put her face into my hair. I'm sorry Arizona. I just thought you wanted space.
Callie if i wanted space i would tell you but all i want is for us to be better we can't do that if one of us is avoiding the other i said. Im sorry Arizona I'll make it up to you how about me and you tonight no interruptions. Smiling at her beautiful brown eyes I agreed. My pager began to beep ending the moment between the two of us. Exiting the room we walked out together hand in hand, and with the promise to meet tonight i couldn't help but feel hope and butterflies in my stomach.
CALLIE'S POV
To say I was on edge for tonight's talk with Arizona would be an understatement. I wasn't completely ready to open a can of hurt from the past, but I knew I wanted to push onto the future with my woman. My day unfortunately wouldn't end until much later tonight so until then I had paperwork to make up. I'm almost certain that this was bailey's way of punishing me for leaving.
After 6 hours of non-stop paperwork it was finally time for me to get home to my beautiful girls. Deciding that our talk would need a few ingredients I stopped at a supermarket to get a few goodies. I picked up a pack of mini powdered donuts for Arizona and for me I got lots of candy. Finally arriving home I walked into a mini dance party my two girls were dancing to "24k magic by bruno mars". Deciding not to interrupt the mother, daughter duo I took out my phone to record the party that was happening before me.
After a few minutes of not realizing I was there I finally caught the attention of Sofia. Mami you're here, mama let me stay up and wait for you, i missed you so much. Picking up the growing girl I gave her a huge kiss on the cheek, I missed you so much more mija. Turning to the blonde beauty I winked at her and said nice moves causing her to blush fiercely. After getting the little bug ready for bed it was time for Arizona and I to talk. Getting us some wine and the snacks that I bought from the store I was ready to conquer the past.
A: I just want to say that Lauren Boswell will always be my biggest regret, at the time i didnt think of you. I just wanted to feel.
C; No you wanted to hurt me. It wasn't about you feeling anything, it was about you making me feel the betrayal you felt when I gave the word to cut your leg.
A; You're right cal I needed you to feel my pain and looking back on it now i was stupid.
C; What did you want me to do? Let you die? I couldn't do that because Sofia already lost one parent I refused to lose you to. I couldn't live in a world where you don't exist and I don't regret saving you. I will never apologize for that.
C; I called myself an ortho goddess, I made legs out of metal, I fixed Derek's hand with a nerve from his sister's leg… but the one person I wanted to save the most I couldn't. Do you know how bad that affected me? I doubted my surgical skills for so long, I couldn't save my wife. Why should I even call myself a surgeon?
A; No and you shouldn't have to Cal, you kept me from missing out on our little girl growing up it's because of you that i'm here and alive, I couldn't see it then but thank you so much. You are such a great surgeon and I am so sorry that I made you doubt yourself. There was a reason why I wanted only you to touch my leg. You were and are the best, if you couldn't fix it no one could.
C; I'm sorry too, I'm sorry that I made you believe that we would make it and then left you the next morning. Ari I just really thought that we made it so that we could get through everything. The next morning, I had no idea it would be our last.
A; How could you not know Cal, explain to me what happened please.
C; That last night I felt so free and hopeful, I don't know what changed but I just didn't think that we were worth fighting for, I can't give you an explanation. I can't even explain it to myself but I am so sorry for using you the way I did.
A; And now? Are we worth fighting for now? How do I know that you won't leave again?
C; I just want you and Sophia, nothing will make me change my mind about us. The last 2 years have been hell without you and I don't want to waste anymore time. I know you are my forever girl now it's time to work on our forever. I don't want to keep gazing at our past mistakes. It's time to let go, and I'm ready to but are you?
A; I'm ready Cal, I want you to be my forever. I never stopped loving you and I never will, but it's so much baggage and pain from our past I'm scared to get my hopes up.
C: Arizona we have been through so much together and I know we are strong enough to conquer anything in our way, just stand by me and I promise we will make it through.
A; I love you so much calliope. I just want us to work.
C; And we will just have to trust each other. Callie's POV I felt so much lighter after my conversation with Arizona, it feels so weird actually talking about our problems, we used to avoid them, and cover them with sex. Last night gave me hope, hope that we could actually be better than what we were the first time around, knowing that we still have a chance despite all of the hardships we've been through made my heart flutter.
Arriving to grey-sloan Memorial I had surgery to repair a fractured orbital bone and directly after I had to go see Bailey, apparently there was something huge she needed to talk to me and Arizona about.
I arrived at Bailey's office mere seconds from Arizona, as she reached me I pulled her into a quick kiss. Smiling up at me and returning to professional mode she stepped away from me. Any idea why the Chief would need to see us? she asks me. Quickly shaking my head no I said lets go find out. Knocking on the door Bailey she quickly told us to come in. After the both of us took a seat she began to talk. Torres, Robbins as you know I tend not to get into the personal lives of my doctors here but I consider the two of you to be my friends which is why I need to tell you this.
Earlier today the mayor of seattle called this very hospital as you know his wife has recently given birth to a baby boy with cleft palate, and well long story short he wants the best hospital with the best peds surgeon, and well Robbins you are the best peds surgeon on the western hemisphere so he requested you.
Grabbing Arizona's hand as she looked at me with utter excitement I couldn't help but be proud of the woman next to me. Bail- Arizona began to speak but was quickly cut off by the shorter woman. Arizona before you guys become excited i need to tell you something, You will be assisted by the best craniofacial surgeon on the west coast.
The color from my fast immediately drained and suddenly I felt as if I couldn't breath. There was no way that Bailey was talking about her. Bailey continued to talk, I understand that you guys are starting over again, and quite frankly I personally hope you guys make it so I wanted to give you a heads up, I understand how hard this must be for you Torres.
Finally looking up at Arizona and seeing the fear in her eyes made me snap out of the self pity we worked way too hard to back track now. Gripping Arizona's hand tighter with reassurance I turned back to the chief and asked, when she will be here? Well torres the surgery is scheduled to be 5 days from now so anywhere between tomorrow and Thursday. Releasing a breath I quickly thanked her for the heads up and Arizona and I proceeded to the door as we opened it. I came face to face with the woman who helped destroy my marriage. Boswell i snared.
