A/N After my post on Tuesday, Arizona was winning by a landslide. In the past 24 the majority was for Callie. It has been so fun hearing your thoughts. Most of you think that since Arizona was happy at one point that it should be her. Some think that it should be Callie cuz Arizona has been through enough. 7 even voted for both. LOL I had one comment that thought maybe it was too soon. Her is my thinking. We have to start somewhere with them not just being friends. Jealousy is an evil, unpredictable monster that seems to raise its head just when you think there is nothing there.

So with a total 97-54 for the winner... You gotta read it to find out.

HAPPY GREYS DAY!

Chapter 12

Sofia was sitting on the couch when Callie came through the door. "Ok, so I stopped at the store and picked up some things for dinner". She carried the groceries into the kitchen and Sofia followed. "I thought that we could do spaghetti for dinner?"

Sofia watched Callie unload the groceries. "Mom?"

"Yeah." Callie said, never looking up.

"Arizona text me."

At her daughter's tone, Callie stopped what she was doing. She looked up to see brown eyes that were lit up with excitement. "Alex needs her help on a case that he has."

"Yeah, I know." Callie waited for the other shoe to drop.

"He asked her to come to Seattle and do a consult." Sofia watched the mixer of excitement and fear come over her mom's face. Callie didn't speak, so Sofia continued. "She has a flight tomorrow at 7 night and will be here by 10."

Callie shook her head out of a daze. She suddenly went back to the groceries. "So do you want meatballs or meat sauce?"

"Mom?" The girl tried to show some sort of comfort.

"I personally would like meat balls." Callie laid the ingredients out on the counter. "What about you?"

"Are you ok?"

Callie stopped, looked at her daughter and smiled. "I'm fine. So Arizona is coming back to Seattle tomorrow night? I'm good. So what's your pick?"

Sofia looked at her Mother knowing she was anything but fine. "Yeah, meat balls are good."

"Damn it!" Callie looked into the mirror. Did she look pale? Yes she looked pale? Maybe she didn't. Why the hell wouldn't her hair fix? Did her hair look ok? Maybe it looked fine. She pulled her hair back and held it with one hand, looking into the mirror. She slightly turned her face to the right, then to the left. She huffed and let the hair fall back to her shoulder. "Damn it."

Sofia walked quickly into Callie's bathroom. "Ok, I'm giving you one last chance to see this my way."

Callie leaned against the vanity, raised an eyebrow and waited. "I can't imagine what I'm getting another chance for. And why aren't you dressed?

"You have a chance to better my relationship with Arizona by letting me miss school."

"Get dressed, Sof." Callie turned back to the mirror.

"Come on! Please." Sofia raised her hands in front of her to beg.

"No."

"That isn't fair. You will get to see her this morning."

Callie turned to her daughter again. "Sofia, she didn't arrive at the hospital until almost midnight. Plus, her and Alex were still working at 3 this morning. So she's probably sleeping and I have a busy day today. I doubt I'll see her either. Now go get dressed."

Sofia smiled. "Mhm"

"Mhm, what?"

"How did you know what time she got here and how late she was working?"

"I...um..." Callie stumbled. "That is my business. If you aren't ready for school, I swear I will take you in your pajamas."

"Mom, please." The girl dropped her arms to her side and softly, yet demandingly, stomped her foot.

"She is busy, Sofia." Sofia huffed again. Callie pulled out her phone. "If you don't go and get dressed, I'm calling Mark." Sofia stood with her hands on her hips in defiance. "Fine." Callie said while sending a text If you're up, can you call me? and waited.

When the phone rang Callie answered it smiling at her daughter, placing the phone on speaker. "Will you PLEASE tell Sofia that she can wait til after school to come to the hospital? To please stop arguing with me and get dressed for school?"

The voice on the other end of the phone chuckled and Sofia immediately knew that it wasn't Mark. "Sofia, get dressed for school."

"But I want to come see you."

"I will be here until Sunday afternoon. Besides, Karev and I worked all night and we are just taking a break. I'm actually in an on call room about to take a nap, then I have to get back to work."

"But..."

"By the time you get out of school, maybe my day will be less hectic."

"But.."

"Get dressed, Sofia." Arizona said causing Callie to smile as the young girl huffed.

"This isn't the way its suppose to be!" The girl protested. "One of you is supposed to be on my side."

"I am on your side." Arizona giggled. "I am on the side of you not missing school and living in a cardboard box under the overpass."

"UGH!" Sofia stomped off.

"Thank you." Callie said.

"No problem. I learned a long time ago how to deal with Torres women." The laughter in Arizona's voice somehow stopped.

"Right." Callie threw her hand up in frustration at not knowing what else to say. "Well, I'll let you get to sleep. She just wasn't listening to me and I knew that she would you, so..."

"It's fine, Callie. Maybe I will see you at some point today."

"Yeah, I have a insanely busy day, but yeah, maybe."

"Ortho is in the same spot right?" Arizona chuckled.

Callie nervously said. "Um, yeah."

"Well so is peds." Callie didn't respond not knowing what to say. "Ok. I'm going to sleep now."

"Sweet dreams."

"Have a good day, rock star." Callie heard the line go dead. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hadn't been called a rock star by Arizona in years.

She looked in the mirror. "Damn it, why won't my hair fix."

Arizona had only slept until 9:30am. It had been a long time since she had pulled a shift like this. Not to mention, her body was on a time clock 3 hours different, and her brain was trying to catch up. She met Alex in the lab at 9:45 and picked the computer behind him to do her own research. She was there about 5 minutes when Karev's intern Stephanie walked in the door, two cups of coffee in hand. She placed one in front of Alex and he watched her place the second in front of Arizona.

"They're from the coffee cart downstairs. I'm doing rounds with Kepner, so if you need me, that's where I'll be." The girl smiled and started to leave room.

Arizona took a sip and almost choked. "Wait!" She called out and Stephanie stopped.

"Is something wrong? Too hot?"

"No. It's...it's perfect." Arizona said confused. She was so picky about the way that she took her coffee.

Stephanie smiled. "Well good then, glad I got it right. I was worried about that...you know..."

Her rambling was cut off by Alex. "You never bring me coffee and you got Robbins's just right."

"I just thought that maybe you..."

"Never! Ever! Have you brought me coffee. Spill it or you're on ass wiping duty for the next month."

"But.."

"And lesions. Asses and pus filled lesions."

"Ok. Ok! Doctor Torres told me. Said to make sure that Doctor Robbins had coffee and how she liked it."

"What about me?" Alex said

"Well, she's in here with you. I thought it would be rude."

Arizona couldn't help but giggle. "Well thank you. How much do I owe you?"

"Doctor Torres took care of it."

"Go!" Alex said. As Stephanie walked from the room he yelled. "And try not to kill anyone on Kepner's service."

Arizona smiled and took another sip of her coffee. "Damn, that's good coffee."

Arizona and Alex were actually making progress. Arizona had called every doctor she knew from the east coast to the west, and back again. A friend at Hopkins had heard of a rare disorder that could cause the seizures and if baby Emily could withstand the seizures, it was something that she would grow out of. Her staying in the hospital was a must for the next weeks and maybe months. With the seizures, the risk of her coding again was always there. For now she was sleeping well, with a intern at her bedside and Alex and Arizona in the room most of the day too. For now it was a quiet moment. Arizona could breath and actually go and get some air, maybe even a short nap. It was now 3:45 in the afternoon and she knew that Sofia would be in the hospital looking for her any minute, therefore the nap was out. She chose another option.

Arizona walked into the small room that overlooked OR 2 and found only a couple empty seats, one being next to Cristina, and she took it.

"Heeeey." Cristina said with excitement, even giving the woman a hug. "I heard you were here."

"Yeah, I think that we even made some ground with Emily today. Now we just hope and wait."

"Cool. Evil Spawn letting you rest?"

Arizona smiled. "When we can."

"How has things been being back?"

"Good. I got here late last night and Teddy and Alex were waiting on me. We were here until early this morning. Altman gave in at 3am and went home. It's been...nice. I can't believe that Teddy has kids, Alex has kids, Lexie has kids. Just seem weird."

"Well I for one am glad that you're here, rollergirl."

"Thanks. What's she doing?"

"Not much. A double knee replacement. Nothing major."

"Then why is the gallery full?"

"We're hiding from the chief."

Arizona smiled. "Some things never change."

Arizona had been in the gallery about 10 minutes when she saw Callie do a double take at the gallery in her direction. She slightly waved and Callie gave a small nod.

"She still misses you, ya know."

Arizona continued to look in on the surgery. "Yeah, I know." Arizona said as she stood and walked from the room.

She headed down to the cafeteria in hopes of finding something that resembled food. She was looking over the sandwiches when someone spoke to her. "It's like Russian roulette really."

Arizona turned to smile at the woman standing to her right. "Yeah, seems that way sometimes."

"You new here?"

"Um...not really. Here for a consult."

"Oh wow. You're Doctor Robbins?"

Arizona blushed. "I am. Is that a good thing?"

"Could be." Arizona could have sworn...surely not. "So how's Emily?"

"She's..." Arizona stopped. "So you know who I am. Don't you think that it would be fair to know who you are?"

"Sure. Candice Murphy. You can call me Candy." She extended her hand. "Peds fellow."

Arizona excepted the hand. "Well, Peds fellow Candy, Emily is resting comfortably."

"You realize that you are Urban legend around here, right?"

"No."

"Yeah, the hot Peds God, who won a Carter-Madison grant, and turned it down for love." She noticed the smile fall from Arizona's face. "Sorry. It was a compliment. Really."

"No, it's fine. That's what happened."

"I'm surprised that you don't have a line of lesbians standing in front of you. Begging for your number."

"Well I don't see any yet." Arizona chuckled as she blushed.

"I kinda called dibs. They're all waiting their turn behind me."

Arizona opened her mouth to speak, but was silenced by a "There you are." as arms wrapped around her midsection.

"Hey, Sofia." Arizona smiled.

Sofia pulled her by the hand. "Come on. The good food is over here. Pizza!"

Arizona smiled at Candy. "It was nice to meet you." She said as she was being drug off.

When they stopped at the pizza line Sofia started. "Why are you talking to her?"

"She just introduced herself."

"Stay away from her." The girl said while looking over the pizza.

Arizona chuckled. "Aren't you a little young to be telling me who I can hang out with?"

"Look, I know things. I'm not a child. She...she...is very friendly."

"You get that vibe too?"

"Um, yeah. She went all kiss and run on Mom."

"What?"

"Yeah, They all went out one night. She got drunk and kissed my mom."

"What happened?" Arizona said as she got a piece of pizza. She felt like they were gossiping in the school lunch line. "Callie told you that someone just walked up to her and kissed her?"

The girl stopped and looked at Arizona. "Don't act like it's an odd thing there kiss bandit number 1."

"Um...well...I"

"Mom never told me. AJ Karev did."

"How'd he know?"

"Apparently he heard Alex telling Jo that she grabbed my mom."

"Grabbed her?" Arizona said as she paid the cashier.

"Yeah." Sofia said as she started to walk. "She was dancing, or something, and she grabbed Mom and kissed her in front of everyone." Sofia looked at Arizona and raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" Arizona straighten her stance to appear bigger than she was and looked over at Candy who smiled at her. Why are you puffing up like a protective guard dog? "Thanks, for the heads up."

They sat at the table. Sofia looked at Arizona who was still glancing at the other woman and smiled. "You totally wanna hit her now don't you?"

Arizona smiled at the little girl. "Eat your pizza."

Arizona was outside of Emily's room seating behind the NICU nurse's station. She was looking over the progress that the little baby was making when she heard a chart sit on the station. She looked up and smiled into familiar brown eyes. "Hey."

Callie smiled back and handed the chart to the nurse. "Hey. I kinda figured that Sofia would have you wrapped up somewhere."

"She's actually doing homework in the doctor's lounge."

"She's doing homework on Friday?" Arizona smiled and nodded. "God, you are like the miracle worker."

They chuckled together. "I told her that I needed to check on Emily before I leave, so she could get that out of the way."

"Damn."

"I told her that I'd take her to dinner when she's done."

"That's nice." Callie smiled. "Thank you."

"Don't thank me just yet."

"What?"

"She picked The Needle" Arizona looked at Callie's reaction. It was the restaurant inside the Seattle space needle. It was also a place that Callie and Arizona visited frequently when they were together.

"Oh. Ok."

"I know your last surgery was over a half an hour ago, so I was thinking that you could join us."

"Wha- I have..."

"Don't I have me, Callie. You ARE coming with us." Arizona said raising an eyebrow.

"I actually...I can't tonight." Callie said with regret in her voice.

"Oh, ok." Arizona didn't know if she didn't ask why to show Callie some privacy or that she just didn't want to know. "Maybe next time." She tried to smile.

"I made plans a couple weeks ago...before I knew you were here."

"No. It's ok." Arizona wondered why Sofia hadn't mentioned it.

"It's a play."

"What?"

"Um, a play. They do off Broadway productions at Erickson Theater and I mentioned that I wanted to go and they got tickets." Callie almost seemed apologetic.

"I didn't know that you liked plays."

"Me either. It's something kinda new. I think that maybe I was a Broadway star in another life."

Ok, Arizona had to know. "So, you're going with a group? You said 'they'."

"Um...no. Her name is Amanda. She is a friend of a friend. She has asked me out several times and I was always busy."

"Oh." A internal conversation started in Arizona's head. She isn't yours...She isn't yours...she isn't yours. "Well, I...I hope that you have a good time." She tried to smile. "What time do I need to have Sofia home?"

"Um...actually she is staying with Teddy and the girls tonight."

WHAT?! Arizona screamed in her head. Why did Sofia need to... "Ok. I will get with Teddy then." She isn't yours...she isn't yours...she isn't yours...God why did I come back here...

Callie watched the looks that crossed Arizona's face. Callie knew those looks. It was anger. Was that anger?

"Ok. So Maybe I will see you tomorrow."

"Um.." Arizona suddenly was trying to busy herself. "Sofia can stay with me, if she'd like."

"I don't want to put you out..."

"Callie." Arizona looked up at her reeking of jealousy. "It isn't a problem. She can stay. Alex can be on call until in the morning."

"If you're sure."

"I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't." Callie looked at Arizona and tried to figure out why suddenly she was angry.

"Ok. "

"I'll bring her home in the morning when I have to go in...I mean unless..."

Callie was shocked. "You mean useless, what?" Arizona just looked at Callie. "God, Arizona. No. No one is going to be at my house."

"I didn't know. I assumed when you were sending her to Teddy's."

"Ok this conversation just took a awkward turn. Just call me in the morning when you need to be at the hospital." Callie said and walked off.

"Damn it...Damn it...Damn it!" Arizona lowered her hand to her forehead.
