Callie was sitting in her office in New York missing Seattle, as the new Ortho Doctor she was having to prove herself with every case and honestly it was exhausting. It had been 15 months and still she was fighting to get on the interesting cases, anything other than hip and knee replacements. Callie needed to feel challenged, she needed to fix, to create, to innovate. Only her prosthetics project with injured soldiers had stopped her from losing her mind.

But that wasn't what was bothering her, she missed Sofia so much, it had only been 4 weeks since she had left to go to her other mother in Seattle and although they spoke on the phone nearly every day, she missed her daughter so much. How had Arizona done this for a whole year?

There was the 3rd problem, Arizona. Distance had done nothing for the strong feelings Callie held towards her ex-wife. She had told herself repeatedly she loved Penny, she had followed Penny across country, stubbornly believing space from her ex-wife would make the feelings towards her lessen, but it hadn't worked. Still, stubbornly she had clung to Penny like a comfort blanket, that was until 2 months ago. With Sofia planning to leave, their relationship dynamic had changed, no longer did they have a 7-year-old buffer to distract them from there issues. So here Callie was sitting in her office wondering where did everything go wrong. Only her stubbornness kept her in New York, when her family and her heart lived in Seattle.

As if Arizona knew she was thinking about her, the phone rang.

"Arizona is everything okay?" Callie asked worriedly, Arizona only called her in the evenings normally passing the phone straight to Sofia so to call so early in the day was worrying,

"Calliope" Arizona squealed, "I love you, I thought I loved Carina, but my heart said Callie and it was right, my heart loves Callie, and you are sexy and amazing and beautiful" she mused, Callie felt herself grin in amusement

"Are you drunk?" she asked, checking the clock, it was 1400 in New York so only 11am in Seattle, very early to be drunk, and slightly concerning if true.

"No, my lesbians made gratitude cookies, and they had weed in, Meredith told us it was rat poison, she is mean, she wanted my phone, but I don't share with mean people" Callie laughed she could imagine Arizona pouting and wished she was there to see her high,

"Why did they make you weed cookies?" Callie asked curious as to why some lesbians had made her wife weed cookies, and how Arizona had gotten so high.

"They had cancer, but they didn't have cancer and I told them they didn't have cancer, but they had a baby, then I went to the Doctor, and he said I had cancer, and Owen saw my boobs," Arizona giggled,

"Wait you have cancer?" Callie's heart dropped, her ex-wife was sick, she opened up her laptop googling flights to Seattle. Her wife and daughter needed her,

"He said they were nice boobs, then April saw my boobs, and you have seen my boobs, and Jo, and Meredith, and Bailey, and Alex and Owen, I think everyone has seen my boobs," Arizona continued like she hadn't heard Callie,

"Arizona focus, what did the doctor tell you about the cancer?" Callie practically yelled, clicking book now on the flight that left in 2 hours, she'd be there by tonight,

"Which doctor, I see Doctors every day, here's a Doctor Calliope, she is pretty but not as pretty as you"

"The doctor who told you that you had cancer," Callie said frustrated,

"Oh, he was mean too, not as mean as Meredith, Owen didn't like him, I married Owen did you know that he calls me Mrs Hunt"

"Wait you married Owen?" Callie asked confused

"I had to, for the lesbian's" Arizona whispered lesbian like it was a secret,

"Tell me about the cancer Arizona was it in your breasts?" Callie guessed,

"My mom had cancer, it was in her breast, she died, are you going to die?" Callie didn't recognise the voice but guessed it was Maggie. "My patient died too, lost liver,"

Callie's brow furrowed in confusion didn't Maggie do cardiology why had she lost a liver. Unless this was another teaching thing gone wrong, like when Teddy and Cristina tried to do an appy.

"Ooo, I know lie on the table, we can make your breasts disappear, like we did the liver" Maggie suggested,

"Yeah" Arizona agreed, "Have you seen my boobs? They're great boobs, here look"

"No, no don't show her your boobs, don't get on the table Arizona" Callie shouted packing her belongings as she imagined Arizona lying on an OR table with a stoned Maggie operating. She used her office phone to call Meredith,

"Callie, I don't have time to talk, Bailey broke my hand and I'm watching Jo operate" Meredith explained,

"Bailey broke your hand?" Callie repeated confused,

"Yeah, Callie I'm in the OR, I'll call you back later," Meredith hung up, Callie sighed frustrated,

"Arizona you still there?" She asked,

"The lights are so pretty" Her wife spoke,

"Arizona tell me you're not in an OR?" Callie begged, imaging her wife looking at the bright lights of the OR celling,

"I'm not in an OR, OR, Oar, ROARRRRR, Maggie there is a dinosaur" Arizona whispered "Roar"

"It might be a lion, there was a lion once, Meredith told me, I think lions are more common in Seattle than dinosaurs"

"ooo it could be a dragon"

"Dragons are cool"

Callie grinned as she walked out of her office, she used the office phone to call Bailey, still slightly concerned as to where Arizona was in case they decided to try to operate again.

"Miranda,"

"Torres,"

"Does Arizona have cancer? She said a doctor told her she had cancer?" Callie questioned,

"She doesn't have a Harper Avery," Bailey replied sounding sad,

"Are you high?" Callie asked,

"No, I'm short, I've never been high" Bailey giggled, "We are having a funeral," she started making a funny high-pitched noise,

"I'm coming back to Seattle tonight; can I have my job back?" Callie asked deciding to use Bailey's drugged state to get her job back.

"Sure," Callie hung up, "Arizona,"

"Ssh I'm at a funeral Callie, for the lost liver patient" Arizona whispered in a louder voice than if she had just spoken, "We don't even know her name"

"It's very sad" Maggie agreed"

"Okay," Callie whispered back, glad she was now at a funeral and not in the OR, she had one more person to try.

"Owen"

"Owen it's Callie, Arizona says you saw her boobs"

"I did but it wasn't like that" he sounded flustered; she could hear a baby crying in the background

"Did a doctor say she had breast cancer?"

"Yes, but…." Owen tried to explain, the baby crying drowning him out, "Alex do not pick him up"

"Oh God Arizona has cancer," Callie interrupted, "I need to go"

"But April confirmed its wasn't" Owen finished to a dial tone.

Callie practically ran out of the office, her mobile still on call with Arizona,

"I'm coming Arizona I'll be there soon" she said, Arizona giggled

"That's not the first time you said that" Arizona said in a dirty tone. "Imagine what we could do if you were here,"

"I'll be there soon, I'll be with you for everything, did they mention mastectomy or chemo, or radio?" she asked, wondering where Arizona was in her treatment plan,

"I don't want to lose my boobs Callie I like my boobs, they are good boobs" Arizona giggled, "You like my boobs too"

"I do" Callie smiled, Arizona was hysterical when she was high,

"Promise they won't be cut off, or disappeared" Arizona whispered, Callie sighed wanting to promise it so badly but that's what had got them in this situation in the first place,

"I can't promise that, but I can promise I'll be there the whole way, and I'll love you boobs or no boobs"

"Love you too, and your boobs" Arizona replied, "You have lovely boobs, I love squeezing them and kissing them and…"

Callie dropped the phone from her ear as she found the man she was searching for.

"Chief" she said finding the man she had been looking for, "I have to take emergency leave, my ex-wife has cancer, she is alone and I need to be there" she begged, tears coming to her eyes,

"Done, take as long as you need, but you know if its cancer it's a long run" he said knowing if it was serious his ortho doctor wouldn't be back.

"I know, thank you for everything chief" Callie shook his hand, glad he was supportive. She knew from the gossip mill his wife had died of cancer 2 years previously. In truth she had no intention of coming back, Arizona calling was all it took for her to swallow her pride and return to Seattle.

"Arizona, are you there?" she checked lifting her mobile to her ear,

"Uh huh Callie, I want cheese," her wife cried, "I need cheese so much"

"I want cheese too" Maggie cried in the background,

"I'm coming to Seattle, Arizona, I'm coming home" Callie promised,

"Can you bring cheese?" Arizona asked,

"Sure, as much as you can eat"

"We need mozzarella, and gouda, and cheddar" Maggie listed, "I love cheddar"

"Ooo and halloumi" Arizona added, "I love cheese I love nibbling it off your naked body" she continued, causing Callie to shiver, as she remembered the nights they'd order pizza eating it in bed, if anything dropped the other would lick it off the skin, it soon turned into purposeful drops.

"I'll bring cheese" she promised. Switching to hands free as she reached the car.

"Your always there when I need you" Arizona mused, "You were the worst mistake of my life"

"I was?" Callie's heart broke, as she drove the short distance to her apartment,

"I let you go, twice, you're the best thing in my life but I got scared and drove you off. My therapist said I have abandonment issues, cus we moved a lot when I was a kid, like ever year, and then Tim left, though he promised to come back and Nick left and he promised too ,look after me, Joanne left, she promised me forever, then Teddy left, then Mark died, then Nick died, then my leg left and my baby died. And I knew you'd leave to everyone leaves so I made you leave I did the one thing I could do to make you leave so you wouldn't end up with a cripple and Sofia could have a normal life. Then I met Eliza, she was pretty, but not as pretty as Calliope, she is the most pretty, she left, but she didn't die, then Carina, she is an orgasm specialist, but Calliope is better, maybe Callie is a specialist too, I miss Callie's orgasms, Carina is leaving too, she is going to Italy."

"Arizona" Callie interrupted "Does your leg still hurt", she wished Arizona could open up to her like this without being high, it was her one bug bear in the relationship that Arizona would shut down and try to be a good man in the storm, which for her meant keeping her emotions and thoughts to herself.

"Every day, I couldn't tell Callie, you won't tell her will you, sssh," Arizona made the sound, "Cus she'll be mad I didn't tell her, Owen made Alex stab me with a scalpel and then at night I slept in the bathroom with a mirror, and I woke before Callie and got into the bed, but now, nothing hurts now, the room is made of clouds, and they're so pretty. Did you know Callie cut off my leg, she promised not to, but she did, and I've wondered every day since…" Arizona trailed off,

"Wondered what? Arizona wondered what?" Callie pushed arriving at the airport sensing this was something she needed to know,

"How did she cut it off, how could she hold the scalpel and cut it off. I don't think I could cut off her leg, I don't think I could hold a scalpel and know it was her and operate, I love her too much, but she must hate me, she took my leg. She offered me once, to get a bone saw and cut of her leg and I said yes but even the thought of it made me feel sick and we were fighting, and I wake every morning and I think my leg is still there it feel like it's still there, and it hurts, and I look down to massage it and its gone, and every morning I remember, the plane crashing, the bugs and I can still feel them crawling in my leg, and every morning the first thing I remember is that my leg is gone and my wife cut it off" Arizona confessed, Callie felt the tears running down her face, she remembered that fight, the weird look across her wife's face.

"Callie loves you" Callie replied, feeling sad, she had wanted Arizona to not know it was Alex to protect him and leave her a friend to confide in, but instead her wife had wondered how she had managed to operate to remove the leg,

"How do you know are you magic? Maggie it's a magic chair" she could hear Arizona get excited,

"What?" Maggie's voice got louder,

"The chair its talking"

"Wow, hi magic chair"

"Hey" Callie said passing her flight booking details to the lady at the counter,

"Do you think it grants wishes?" Maggie asked excitedly,

"It has to its magic," Arizona replied confidently, causing Callie to laugh, she couldn't wait until she saw her again "What shall we wish for?"

"Cheese!" Maggie screamed, "Lots and lots of cheese"

"And more cookies," Arizona added, "And doughnuts, I love doughnuts" Callie laughed drawing looks from the others in the security queue. Only her wife would have a magic wishing chair and choose doughnuts and cookies.

"No more cookies, how many did you eat?" Callie asked curiously,

"I had one" Maggie said,

"Arizona?" Callie asked, feeling like she was talking to a child,

"You have to tell it, its magic it won't grant our wishes if we don't tell it" Maggie said,

"3" Arizona replied, Callie could tell she was pouting, "I missed breakfast, and they ran out of pound cake"

Callie put her phone down on the security tray missing the next bit, picking it up the other side,

"But Meredith it is magic it was talking" She heard Maggie said,

"Maybe its magic doesn't show up for mean people," Arizona whispered,

"Meredith?" Callie called hoping her friend was there,

"Or it's a phone, Arizona I thought I told you to hand it over," Meredith scolded,

"But you were mean, you said the cookies were poisoned and they weren't, like the witch on snow white,"

"I love that film" Maggie added.

"You knew they weren't poisoned you told me that" Meredith replied exasperated, "Come on, Amelia is picking up Sofia and taking the kids home, I'm collecting you guys, we are going to crash at yours for the night"

"Sleepover," Arizona clapped her hands excitedly, "Can we bring the chair?"

"Sure, we can bring the chair" Meredith sounded tired, "Callie, Arizona's phone is dying, but the weed should be wearing off soon, don't worry. Sofia is safe, she is with Amelia tonight. We thought we'd put everyone else at Arizona's, she has the next biggest house. Jo is taking Alex home, Richard has Katherine and Jackson, Ben is taking Bailey home I have Maggie, DeLuca, April and Arizona" Meredith listed,

"How many people did Arizona give the cookies too?"

"Lots," Meredith rolled her eyes, "Its already wearing off for some of them"

"Meredith, just tell me one thing, is Arizona sick?" Callie asked desperately, as her flight began boarding,

"I…." Meredith replied before her phone bleeped 3 times indicating the phone had died. She noticed she had missed calls from Owen but ignored them, nothing he was going to say was going to stop her boarding that plane.

Okay so Callie is on a flight, what will she find in Seattle, how will Arizona react? How will Callie react?
