Arizona's Pov
Wow this pain meds are strong. I hear people talking around me. I know they're trying to be quiet but its not really working. I opened my eyes and I saw my friends gathered in the floor because they doesn't fit in the couch. Somehow my hospital room turned into a.. FRAT HOUSE?!
"Why did you all turned my room into a frat house?" I said trying to sit down and Calliope helped me. When I'm all settled I smiled at Calliope and she gave my a kiss.
"Are you okay do you need something?" My wife asked my while fixing a cup of water and giving it to me and I just shake my head from left to right. I look around the room and I remember my dream. Then I looked at Meredith and she just smiled at me
"Lexie, told me that she misses you and she loves you… also she loves and misses Zola too."
"You saw her? Is she fine?"
"Yeah, I saw her. They invaded my dream when Owen put me under. I think she really likes her blonde hair." Then Meredith and Derek laughed remembering Blonde Lexie
"Calliope,.. Nick winked and hugged me but Tim smacked his head and Mark threaten him by saying you'll break his bones."
"Yeah, you're mine. No one gets to hug you unless it's me or Sofia. Did you see anyone else? Granpa Robbins?"
"No, I only saw Tim, Nick, Mark, and Lexie. Do you remember what we talked about along time ago? The one about the pit stop when a person dies they go there. What does it call again?"
"Pit stop, You called the Purgatory pit stop?"
"Hey, no judging I only forgot what Its called! At least I remember that we talked about it!" When I saw Callie is trying to stop laughing I huffed but she rubs my arm to make me less upset
"Fine, good job honey. So what about the Purgatory?"
"At first I thought I was there because I saw them and they are you know… dead… but they told me they just invaded my dream and Nick thinks that is so cool." Then my eyes landed on Alex's fist with bandages. Why does his hands wrapped with bandages?
"Alex…" he doesn't look at me straight into my eyes but he just looks at my bed. He did something stupid. You just wait for me to get out of this bed and I'll smack your head Alex "Alex, what did you do?… Don't make me find out myself."
"Okay, okay. Fine, I punched and pinned someone into the wall." he said staring at his bandaged fist.
"How many days?" his confused eyes snapped up to look at mine. "How many days will your hand look like that? How many days do you need to rest that hand? You have patients to look at Alex! So…how many days?" Alex held up 5 fingers at me and I let a frustrated growl.
"If you get out of here are you still going to be my boss?" Oh I never really told anyone except April.
"I'm not. I just found a new work place." Everyone snapped their eyes on me.
"What? Where are you going to work. You just gave me your resignation letter yesterday!"
"Someone offered me a job." I just shrugged
"What kind of job" Calliope asked me.
"Robbins-Taylor Center for Children's Health. I'll start in 3 months."
"Robbins-Taylor? Who is Taylor?" Said a confused Calliope
"Dr. William Taylor. He's a friend of mine from John Hopkins he's been bugging me for along time since I started in Hopkins and he hasn't stopped obviously, so I took his offer and know we are going to build a Children's Center."
"Where are you going to Malawi again? Because I want to come too!" Alex said with a wide smile but that smile fades when Callie looked at him with eyes that could kill. I held Calliope's hand that makes her look at me. She has tears in her eyes so I quickly said
"The center is here in Seattle. In fact it is just 5 minutes away from here. I can still sneak out to eat lunch with you" I can see that Calliope felt relieved when I said I'm not going away. "We'll talk more about it okay?" Callie nodded and I return my gaze at Alex.
"So who's the person that received your fist?"
"The guy who hit the back of your car." I looked at him confused
"You don't remember?" I shake my head. Then after a minute I suddenly grasp loudly as I remember what happened to me.
"I-I remember now… did the both of you heard it?" I asked Meredith and Cristina and they just nod "God, my car moved forward after a car hit my backside, and… and-and there is another car hit my left side then my car rolled over."
"What did they heard?" Callie asked me but I was so shocked as I think about what happened to me. So she looked at Meredith and Cristina and she asked again. "What did the both of you heard?" the twisted sister looked at each other before Meredith answered.
"We heard the crash.. Me and Cristina called her because April said Arizona submitted her resignation letter asked her if its true because we just bought this hospital… then when were about to end the call we heard the first crash and seconds later the second one then the call ended. Then me and Cristina both panic because it just sounds so familiar… When we are both calm down we went straight to the ambulance bay where we saw you Callie."
I looked at Calliope tears falling from her eyes. She looks hurt, guilty, and angry. I looked at April asking her with my eyes if she could tell the others to go because I need time to comfort my wife. Then she nodded and lead everyone outside.
"Calliope… sweetie, look at me… don't cry." her gaze are still on the ground
"I-I feel guilty. Bailey is right at the Gala I accepted 'condolence money' I accepted their sympathy. I accepted their condolences. Arizona I killed you that day. Yes, you cheated but you don't deserve to be treated like that. Especially by me! I'm your Wife and I killed you to everyone! Then-then you got into an accident you CODED in front me Arizona! I'm so angry at myself"
"This is not your fault! Don't blame yourself Calliope this is an accident none of us wanted this to happened. It was an accident! What you felt is completely valid. Calliope.. I cheated on you. Stepped on you. Broke my promise to you. The Arizona before the plane crash happened was dead. Not physically but emotionally… I'm not the same anymore."
"Why does this things happens to us. You were in an accident twice. I almost lost you twice!" She looks at me with a questioning look. I don't know. I really don't know
"Oh, honey I'm here I'm right here… I'm right here with you… I'll only go away if you asked me to go."
"Did… did you really prayed? did you really prayed for to let mark live instead of you?" Calliope tries to wipe her tears but new tears kept falling
"H-how did you know that?" I never told her about what happened in the forest because I'm not ready yet.
"Cristina… S-she said that you even prayed 'Hail Mary' you prayed to let mark live so that I wouldn't lose my best friend and Sofia would still have a dad." This made me think about mark and the plane crash and my dream
"I-I did… I did prayed." I let my tears fall
"You are an idiot! H-how can you think that I'll be okay if you died in there!… I can live without mark.. but I can't live in this world knowing that you are not alive and I wouldn't be able to see you to talk to you, or to touch you or to kiss you. You are my wife and my wife's life is more important than my best friends life!… Please don't do that again don't pray to anyone else to take you instead of someone else. I don't want to lose you…"
"I won't do that again. I promise… I will keep it this time." Callie hugged me and rest her head on my shoulders I rub her back knowing that it will comfort her."
After comforting each other something popped into my mind. WELL SHIT Something I need to tell my wife. Will she be okay with what I did? Well, here goes nothing.
"Calliope.. I-I have something to tell you. It's not about the Center it's about another thing" she lift her head from my shoulders and I held her hand tightly. "I did something and I don't know If you are going to be happy with my it…"
"Arizona, what is it you are making me nervous…" she pulled slightly away from our hug to face me
"Its.. it is a good thing so don't worry." I lift my eyes from our intwined fingers from Callie's eyes to convince her and she mouthed 'okay' so I continued "I bought us a house.."
"What you bought what?!" now she completely let go of me and move a little bit far away from me. OH NO! SHE'S MAD AT ME!
"God you're angry… Damn it! I'm sorry I-I should have talked to you about it but we are not really talking at that time. I-I just bought it 4 days ago. I was sad and lonely I have a ton of money at the bank so I spent some of it without thinking. I'm so sorry. I-if you want I can sell it right now. I-I can talk to the realtor so that I can get rid of the house If you want me to… Maybe you should look at it first maybe you'll like it…I-I picked a house with a big beautiful kitchen for you and it's already full of appliances… Judging by the look on your face you don't want to. You know what give me my phone so that I can call the realtor and tell him that I going to sell the house.. Please don't be mad. I'll tell him to sell right away. Baby don't be mad." I said quickly thinking that Calliope will start yelling Spanish at me. but she just looks at me quietly. "Calliope.. please say something you are scaring me.."
"Y-you bought us a house?" I nodded "YOU BOUGHT ME A BIG KITCHEN?!" Callie said with a bright smile. And I let out a big sigh OH THANK GOD SHE'S NOT MAD.
"Honey, look I bought a house, the kitchen came with the house." I say while laughing
"Where is it? Can we go? Is it close to the Hospital? Is there schools nearby? Ohhh, Is it pretty? I wanna see!" Callie said enthusiastically
"Calliope, I can go right now." move my hands along my body "But when I'm all healed up we'll go and take a look at it. You need to tell me if you don't like it though so that we can sell it and we'll look for another house."
"No, no I have a feeling that I will love my kitchen."
"Your kitchen?" with a sly smile "I told you I bought a house not just a kitchen" laughing at my wife 'badassness'
"It is the same thing! Tell me more, tell me more." scooting near me while clasping her hands together
"Okay, okay. You already know about 'your' kitchen. Well, It is a two-story house 2 car garage, it has 4 bedrooms the masters bedroom has a huge closet it can fit all of your leather jackets. 4 1/2 bathroom, 2 home office, a nice backyard with a pool and with a deck of course, a beautiful living room, OH, and it has spare room that we turn into a den or a 'batcave' or whatever you want to call it."
"Now I really wanna see it!… but I'll wait when you get discharged so we can go home."
"Home.. I love the sound of that." I said with a dreamy smile that will make Derek Shepherd lose his nickname.
"Yeah, me too… I can't wait to go home."
"I love you Calliope"
"I love you too, Arizona"
"I can't wait to come HOME to you, Calliope"
"I can't wait to come HOME to you too, Arizona"
