A/N: So this is a take on Greys 9x24 episode Perfect Storm. Somewhat follows the storyline but not really. Mark survives and is strictly Callie's best friend , also their is no baby Sofia. Callie and Arizona been married for 3 years prior to the cheating. Also they don't own the hospital. The airlines paid them out 15 million each to whoever was on the plane. So other than that. The story is somewhat the same. I know there will be questions but don't worry. They will be answered through flashbacks. Also this story includes G!P so if you ain't a fan don't read. Also I'll be honest I'm not sure if I plan on having Calzona as endgame. So if you wanna stick along for the journey by all means enjoy.

GENERAL POV
It has been a few hours since Callie caught Arizona up in the NICU with her wedding ring pinned to that other blonde bitch she cheated on her with.
Callie has been sitting in an on call room trying to figure out what to do in this situation. Never in her wildest thoughts did she think the one person she loved would break her heart. No break isn't even a strong enough word for what Arizona did to her. She annihilated her. Callie's head has been spinning and she feels like she could throw up. All of a sudden it feels all to real, that she stands up and runs to the bathroom emptying her stomach contents. "Fuck. This cannot be happening to me again." Callie cried as she heaved again. Once more throwing up. She wipes her mouth and goes to the sink, to wash off. She looks in the mirror and she looks just like she feels. Like shit. She looks pale with tear stained cheeks from crying. Callie takes a moment and gather herself and makes her way to Meredith's room. Even with her life in shambles she still wanted to congratulate Meredith on her brand new baby. Trying her best to muster herself up.
Walking in Callie sees the group of people who used to be known as her good friends. She literally spent a good amount of her life with them while becoming a doctor. Now, she sees them as the group who survived a plane crash. A clique of their own. She knows she shouldn't feel this way about them, but over the past year and a half Arizona has made it abundantly clear, that she wasn't part of it. Meredith is laying on the bed, with Derek and Zola. Miranda is holding her name sake in her arms, with Cristina and Arizona gathered around her. Mark is standing next to Derek and they're laughing over something.
Callie looked at her best friend and she's so proud of how much he overcame. Callie walked past him to the opposite side of the room trying her best to show that nothing is wrong. He takes one look at her and she gives him a soft smile. Mark mouths to her "Whats wrong?" To which Callie just shakes her head and that's all she could do. She knew if she opened her mouth, she would lose it. So she smiles at him once again trying to reassure him once again. She watched Arizona act if everything is alright when we both know the past 18 months have been hell. How did I let my life end up like this? Callie can feel blood boiling by the second. So she closes her eyes and controls her breathing.
Just then Owen walks in. "So I talked to the board and they want to close the ER. We are dangerously low on meds. Personnel can't make it in due to the flooding."
"Can we do that?" Cristina asked.
"I recommended and I firmly believe it can't be open. It looks like it been ransacked. So they came down and checked it out. So they officially decided that it will be closed for today and maybe a few more days."
"Well is there anything I can do?" Meredith offered.
Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy.
"I had a baby, I'm not dead."
"No, you just had a major abdominal surgery. You're gonna stay right here." Derek said looking into Meredith eyes so lovingly.
Jackson comes running in, "Okay, airports are opened and I put Dr. Boswell in a cab."
"Ehh there's my prodigy." Mark says proudly.
"Who's Dr. Boswell?" Cristina says looking down at her phone.
"Hot blonde who helped Robbins and I on a case." Mark laughed.
Callie knew she shouldn't say anything but the way Arizona was playing off nothing was bothering her. And now that she knew her best friend also found her hot, pissed her the fuck off. So she could t help herself the next thing she knew she stood up with her arms crossed "She's also the women Arizona slept with last night."
Callie took one last look at Arizona and walked out the door. Arizona looked as if she say a ghost.
Everyone eyes went wide opened looking at each other not sure if what they just heard was correct.
As soon as Callie shut Meredith's door she ran to the attending's room to gather her things. What she didn't know was that her best friend was hot on her tails.
Callie POV
I'm so focused on getting out of here that I feel water dripping on my hand. I look up to see if there was a hole in the ceiling. Not knowing that the water that was dripping on me was my tears.
Mark walks up behind me and puts his hand on my shoulders "Cal what's going on?"
"Arizona she cheated on me with that blonde doctor, and I need to get the fuck out of here."
"Torres, how do you know?" He says holding me in his arms.
"I walked into the NICU, and her wedding ring was pinned to that bitch's scrub top. That's how I know Mark."
"Damn, Torres I'm so sorry."
"Mark I'll be okay, I just need to get out of here. I feel like I'm drowning."
Just then I hear the door shut and I know who it is.
"Cal. Can we talk?"
Mark looks at me and checks to see if I'm okay with being with Arizona. I wipe my tears and give him a nod. "I'll be okay. Thanks Sloan."
"Okay. I'm gonna go down to the ER and check it out." Before he leaves he looks at Arizona and gives her a sad smile and shakes his head.
Arizona POV
I couldn't believe that Callie just aired out all our business to our coworkers. I knew I totally fucked up, and I hurt her. But that didn't give her a right to tell our colleagues our business. Right when she left I felt everyone eyes on me.
"Sorry, Umm. Yeah.. Congratulations Meredith and Derek but I should be going."
"Yeah, of course thanks Robbins."
I make my way to the attending's lounge and I see Mark holding my wife. Shutting the door I see both of them look at me.
"Cal can we talk?"
Mark checks to see if Callie's okay, and then he leaves the room.
I'm not sure what to say. I know we need to talk, but I don't know what to tell her. Usually when she's pissed at me. She unleashes in a Spanish rant, but this time Callie's quiet, and I'm not used to this.
I look at her and she's looking off in the distance behind me. She looks exhausted, spent, tired.
"Callie, I'm sorry."
Nothing.
"Callie, I never meant to hurt you."
Nothing.
Now I'm starting to get mad.
"Damn it Callie can you just talk to me?"
Nothing.
"Fine, don't talk to me. I made a mistake. I never meant to hurt you, But I guess you telling all our friends made you feel better, and I guess I deserved that."
"That's what you're worried about how I made you look in front of our friends?"
"I know you're mad, but I don't think telling everyone will make you feel better."
Callie's head snapped up and she gives me a look. A deadly look. I've never seen this look on her. So I'll just sit here and take whatever she gonna say or yell at me. After about 5 minutes of silence. Callie stands up and opens her mouth and shuts it. Then finally she opens her mouth to speak.
"I thought we were passed all the hard stuff. I thought things were slowly going back to normal."
"We were..we are." I corrected myself.
"We're married!!"
"I know."
"We were trying." She cried.
"I know!" I say looking into her eyes. Now realizing how much I really hurt her.
"How could you do this? I built my life around you!"
My head starts spinning, " I.. I .. don't know. I didn't know but I did."
"After everything we've been through this past 18 months. Everything we survived. The lawsuit, The plane."
The plane crash has always been a sore topic for me, and now she wants to bring it up as if she was there and something inside me snapped.
"Oh, you weren't on the plane Callie!" I say looking at her. Callie's quiet and she looks like I just crushed her. Now that she brought it up. I decide to let her have it. "You weren't in the woods and you did not hear Meredith crying out for Lexi, and Mark laying in my lap moaning in excruciating pain or me screaming in pain trying to keep my legs clean from all the bugs. You weren't there, and you keep acting like you were. But you weren't and it wasn't your experience!"
"You almost died." She cried.
"You almost died." I imitated.
"YOU WEREN'T ON THE FUCKING PLANE! You want it street cred? The badge of honor? The warrior wounds? Then awesome, stick out your leg and I will go grab a bone saw, and let's even the score!"
Callie looks at me with her eyes wide and her mouth in "O". And I see the look in her face and I know I just hurt her beyond belief.
I close my eyes and start crying trying not look at the hurt and pain I just caused my wife. "Oh, shit."
"It always comes back to that fucking leg." She cried.
"I trusted you more than anything, and anyone in my life. And what do you do? You decide to cut it off."
"To save your fucking life Arizona! You would've died."
"You didn't lose anything. I DID!"
Callie POV
I'm standing here beyond crushed. I can't believe the words that are coming out of Arizona's mouth. I knew she was mad at me. Over the past 18 months she was mean, cold and empty towards me. But I believed we were getting better. Now, she wants to stand there and act like I didn't lose anything. I promised myself I would never tell Arizona, cause I know she wouldn't be able to handle losing anymore.
I tilt my head and in the coldest tone I ever spoke, I look at her. "I didn't lose anything?"
Arizona standing there waiting for me to say something.
"I never once said I was on the plane! You wanna know what I went through? I didn't know where my fucking wife was! I was at home for 4 days crying and trying to figure out how I was gonna survive not having you. I couldn't sleep, I didn't eat. Can you imagine hearing the news that your wife and friends just vanished out of thin air? I was at home waiting for you in that lingerie that you loved. Then Bailey knocked on our door and told me the news about you guys. I was by myself Arizona! Yes, you went through the physical pain of being in that plane crash. But don't you dare think for one second that I didn't go through anything!!!"
Arizona face softened. I could tell she never thought about how the plane crash effected me. "I bet you never thought of that did you?"
Arizona doesn't say anything. Now she just looking at me with tears flowing down her face. Now that I'm started I can't stop. She wants to say all that shit to me.
"You weren't even supposed to be on that damn plane! You're the one who threw Karev off! Just cause you were having a bad day and he chose to go to Hopkins, a fucking hospital you did your residency at. Again you were pissed off at me, because I couldn't save your friend Nick. A grown man with cancer who decided to put off seeing a doctor for 6 years."
Arizona tries to say something but I put my finger up "I know you were mad at me that I couldn't save him. Then when he died, you left me to deal with it."
"Why weren't you there when they found us? Bailey, Webber and even Owen flew out. But my own wife wasn't there."
"You wanna know where I was?" I asked her daring to question me.
"Yes, why couldn't my wife be there supporting me? Everyone had someone, but me."
"On the second day of you being lost in the woods. I was in the hospital. Suffering from a miscarriage. I could feel the pain and then I started bleeding and right there I knew." I look up at her and she looks stunned.
"You were pregnant?" She whispered.
"I was 6 weeks pregnant Arizona. I realized the day you guys left that I haven't had my period that month and I took a test. I was gonna surprise you, but the plane crash happened. Then the baby became the least of my worries."
Arizona walks up next to me "Why didn't you tell me?" She tries to grab my hand.
I pull my hand back and step away from her closeness.
"When was I supposed to tell you? When you were begging and made me promise to not cut your leg off or when you woke up with no leg and kicked me out of your room or when you moved back home and treated me like shit. I took your abuse. I let you talk all the shit you wanted. Let you treat me like I was less than because I love you. Loved you. I know I should of told you, but there was never a right time. So I'm sorry for that."
"Callie, I'm so sorry."
"Don't be! Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes things die and there's nothing we can do about it." I look into those eyes that I love so much that I hate her. I grab my purse and walk away and right before I exit I turn.
"You think I didn't lose anything. Not only did I lose our baby, but I lost my wife. One plane crash and I lost my entire family."
I run to the door to block her. "Callie.."
"Save it I'm done Arizona. You and I. We're done. So go fuck whoever you want."
"Callie, no."
"I tried for 2 years to make you happy Arizona. And the truth is we're not and I don't think we ever will be."
"Callie. No. Please.."
"Arizona get the fuck out of my way. I'm done."
Figuring it's best to let her go, cause right now talking to each other would be pointless. So I step to the side and she walks out and slams the door.
A/N: I know there are a few stories with a similar story line, but trust me this story is different. If I could find it I would leave the name of them below. So if anyone knows leave it in the reviews, I would appreciate it.
