Needless to say. I am SO grateful for the comments and that you all are enjoying this story. One more thing that I want you to know is that every now and then you will hear lines from the show. It may not be that person that said it, but it's a line on the show. Also, all mistakes are my own as I do not have a beta reader. So grammatically you may see some errors. Sorry just bare with the dyslexic kid. Proofing has never been my strong suit. LOL

Spoiler alert: I was asked about Arizona's mom. Yes, both of her parents were cast last week along with Lucia Torres. Both sets of parents are coming to town.

Chapter 3

As Danny laid on the table in the OR, he looked up at the lights above him. People were walking all around him talking and prepping his leg. Suddenly he felt a hand lay gently on his shoulder causing him to turn his head and face the person. The light blue scrub cap that was covering her long hair, and the mask that covered her face didn't matter. Danny looked up into dark brown eyes and knew it was Callie.

"Hi." Callie said softly. Danny knew there was a smile as her mask slightly shifted. "You ready?"

"As I'll ever be." He returned her smile.

"Well the MRI shows that your ACL is severely torn. So when I am done putting the screws in and have your bones fixed, I will then move to the knee. Alright?"

"What ever you say. You're the Doctor here. I trust you." Danny looked away and then back to her. "Doctor Torres?"

"Yes?"

"I know that people say things when they come out of surgery. I really do. They made fun of me for a week after one of my surgeries."

"People sometimes do, yes?"

"Promise me that if I say anything…I mean about maybe you…or…..or maybe Doctor Grey…." Callie smiled again. "Please, just overlook me."

"I'll try. Depends on what you say about Lexie." Callie patted his shoulder softly. "Alright. I'll see you in recovery. And hope to hear lots of juicy gossip." Callie tilted her head and looked into his eyes with compassion. "Sweet dreams, Danny."

Danny nodded and with that a mask was placed over his face as Ben asked him. "Alright, count backward from 10."

"10...9.….8.…7.…"

"Alright, people this kid as been through enough. I want a flawless job."

Danny had been in surgery for several hours. Arizona and her parents had decided that they would go the cafeteria and grab something to eat while they waited. It was for a change of scenery more than anything. They had no idea that they were the topic of conversation at a table on the other side of the room.

"I mean look at them." Cristina said. "All that blonde and blue eyes and sweet. God that is disgusting."

In a steady stare Mark asked. "Are we sure she's gay?" He said biting into his apple.

"Yes and put your eyes back in your head." Meredith scolded. "They are just the all American family. They probably all eat dinner together and talk about what a wonderful day they had. And probably won't go to bed without telling John boy goodnight."

"Yeah." Alex added. "John boy was probably the one I beat the shit out of in school."

The conversation was interrupted by Teddy sitting down. "What's up?"

"We are checking out the blonde force field." Cristina said never taking her eyes off of the other table.

Teddy followed Cristina's gaze across the room to the table where the Robbins sat. "Is that- is that Arizona Robbins?"

The entire table looked at her. "You knew McKryptonite ?" Cristina questioned.

"McKryptonite? If you mean Doctor Robbins, yes-well sort of. When I was on leave about a year ago, I went to a seminar in Chicago where Arizona was one of the speakers. Guys, she is like as good as it gets. The awards, grants and publicity that she already has on her resume-. She is like the best pediatric surgeon in the country. Everyone says that the reason she isn't heading up a peds unit somewhere, is the number of years that she has been an attending. So people just think she is too young still. We spoke for a minute after the lectures were over. She is amazing. Some of the things that she has done in peds is-well unbelievable."

"Wow, all that and gorgeous too. I officially hate her." Meredith said.

Cristina rubbed Meredith's back. "Don't worry with her. What does she have on you? Well, other than a memory when she is older."

Meredith opened her mouth in defense, but Teddy started talking first. "Wait!" Teddy's eyes were closed as she shook her hand and chuckled. "Is she the one Torres is falling all over the place over?"

Cristina gasped. "Quiet down. I don't want someone that breaks bones for a living knowing that I told on her."

"Well no wonder she is." Teddy returned her look to Arizona. "Bronze and brains? Hell I would even be a lesbian for Arizona Robbins." Teddy's words caused Mark to choke on his apple. Teddy looked across the table at him and raised an eyebrow. "Go head. I hope you do choke to death on that thing."

As Mark coughed, Arizona turned her attention to the table that had been staring at them for half an hour. Arizona smiled at the table full of doctors. Then turned to her parents. "Wow, I guess all they have to do here is sit and stare at people while choking on their food." The whole table laughed. Arizona turned back to the table. "Wait a minute." She said as she studied one of the occupants. "Mom, Dad excuse me. I will be right back."

The other table stopped whispering as she walked toward them. "Doctor Altman?"

Teddy looked up and smiled. "Doctor Robbins. How are you?"

"I am great. And you?"

"Me too."

"I'm so glad to see that you made it home from Iraq. That's wonderful."

"I am also glad to hear that your brother made it back. I hate that he was hurt while he was here."

Arizona smiled at the fact that Teddy had heard something about Arizona. "Yeah. He lives through a road side bomb and comes home, I take him skiing and almost kill him." Arizona chuckled. "How long have you worked here?"

"Just a few months."

Cristina broke the conversation. "Yeah, I was in need of a cardio god, so they brought me her."

"Wow, a Cardio god?" Arizona chuckled.

"Whatever. So are you still at Hopkins?"

"I am."

Meredith spoke up. "Well if you like Seattle, I am sure we need a peds god too."

Mark now spoke. "Yeah, I don't know about Hopkins, but we only deal in gods here." He pointed to Meredith. "Her husband is a neuro god. I am a plastics god." He pointed to Owen. "He is a trauma god. Teddy is our Cardio god." He paused for a second and smiled. "And I believe that you have met our Ortho god?"

Arizona's smile suddenly grow bigger. "Yes. Yes I have met that one."

The entire table noticed that Arizona seemed to blush. "So how long are you here?" Teddy asked trying to save Arizona.

"Apparently Danny is here for a few days, so I really don't know. Maybe a week?"

"Well you and I will have to do dinner or something. I would love to know about the advancements that you guys are making in pediatric cardiology."

"I'd love to. You know where I am, so just let me know when." Arizona looked over at her parents. "I really need to go. Danny should be out any minute. It was so nice to see you again."

"You too." Teddy said.

"Talk to you later." Arizona offered a friendly wave goodbye to everyone and returned to her parents.

Cristina finally spoke. "Ok, am I the only one that noticed that smile when she said something about Callie?" The whole table nodded their heads. "Oh this is going to get good."

Mark was brought out of his stare. "What…huh….I am still stuck on Teddy turning lesbian and asking Robbins out. Anyone else see that?" Everyone just stared at him blankly. "What? I'm the only one?" Mark said as a grape, that Teddy threw, hit him in the head. "No?"

Danny's eyes batted a couple of times before he could focus them. As he tried, he heard a familiar voice. "Welcome back, sleepy head." Danny smiled as he, even on a anesthesia, he could tell it was Callie.

"Doctor Torres." Danny chuckled.

Callie tried not to laugh. She was use to this. People go into surgery and then come out and say just about anything. Callie also hoped that he would make good on his promise to talk and maybe say something about Arizona. "Hi. Danny. The surgery went very well. We are going to take you back to your room shortly."

Danny continued to keep his eyes closed and nodding his head. Callie was also use to this. Even though most of time they didn't even remember talking to her, she still liked to tell the patients what would happen next.

"Alright. I am going to leave you for now. I will see you in a few hours in your room. Just try to rest."

Callie was about to walk off after hearing no response from Danny, when he grabbed her hand. "Wait."

"Is something wrong? Are you hurting?" Callie smiled knowing Danny was about to start talking.

Danny began to talk or ramble in a slur that reminded Callie of times that she had seen Teddy or Bailey drink entirely too much at Joe's. He pulled at Callie's arm until she was closer to him. "My siser is a good person." Callie loved the way Danny slurred the word 'sister'. "She is kind and gently. One of the best people I know. My siser treats those tiny people or humans or whatever, like they were her own. My siser is a catch Doctor Torres and you would be lucky to have her."

Callie smiled. "To have her? I would? You think?" Callie couldn't help but mess with Danny. He and Arizona had laughed so much at her and Lexie. Now it was their turn to laugh. She couldn't help but think how much she would love to actually 'have her'.

"Yes- yes you would. My siser would be good to you. She will take you to that needle place and you will see. She thinks you are so hot…..and-and that she is going to win and that my gaydar is broken. But it's HERS that is broken, Doctor Torres. Do you fix broken gaydars too?" Danny laughed.

"Your sister is taking me to the space needle?" Callie couldn't help but be a little excited even though she knew that Danny didn't know what the hell he was saying.

"Yes. Arrrrizona is going to take you there and I have to give her the money. But don't worry. I had a girlfriend in high school that was into Arizona. She dumped me and when she did, she said that my siser kissed way better than me. Just wait til she kisses you. You will see. Why did my girlfriend kiss my siser?" It was then that Callie lost it and began to laugh. "That is what I wanted to know, why. She said it was before we were together. Doctor Torres do you know what it is like for a woman to tell you that your siser is better at kissing her an you?"

"No, I can't say that has ever happened to me." Callie continued to laugh.

"I am a good kisser, damn it. You tell Lexie that. But don't you worry cause she is a good kisser, I guess. So if you are in to all that smooching and stuff. You will like her."

"I will try and remember that your sister is a good kisser. Will try really hard not to forget that." Callie would love to know for herself just how good it is that Arizona was, but for now she was a little confused. "You're giving her money?"

Danny started to whisper. "Shhhh. It's a secret. We made a bet. We would see who would get you to go out with them first. If I won, painting was involved. If she won, I have to buy you dinner-well you and her. So since you fall all over the place around her…." Even though he was totally out of it Callie still blushed. "…and you two make goo-goo eyes at each other, you are having dinner with my siser. I can tell you like her. A man knows these things. He knows when hot women are into his gay siser more than him. She won the bet." He started dozing. "And Lexie. Yeah, Lexie, she is….."After Danny said that, he was asleep again.

Callie was both confused and a little hurt somehow. Arizona was just messing with her? She was truly toying with her. She was only a bet. Callie loved hearing Arizona call her Calliope. It made Callie's knees suddenly weak, but it had only been a game. A stupid bet between an arrogant sister and her brother.

As Callie walked from the room she couldn't help but think that at least she now knew where she stood with Arizona.

"A bet?" Lexie said almost yelling. "It is a bet?"

"Yep." Callie answered never look up from her chart. "And I think someone on the first floor didn't hear you, so next time if you could scream a little louder I am sure they would appreciate it."

"Sorry." Lexie watched as Callie continued to look through the chart in front of her. "Are you ok?"

Callie looked surprised at Lexie. "Umm, yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" She saw the look on Lexie face. "What? You think I care?"

"Do you?"

"I have known the woman less than 24 hours. Of course not."

"Well alright." Lexie ran her fingers in circles over the desk. "Did he- I mean while he was talking…""He said that I should tell you he is a good kisser." Callie smiled at the grin that covered Lexie's face.

"Really."

"Yeah, but that apparently Arizona is better than him." Callie couldn't help the devilish look in her eyes. "Then he said your name again and fell asleep. Look, I kinda told him before surgery I wouldn't tell you if he said anything about you. He asked me in this cute little way not to tell you if he talked about you. He was actually worried about it- and then did." Callie chuckled.

"Oh. Well that's good then, right?"

"Yeah I guess if you are into gorgeous, blondes with blue eyes, and dimples." Callie laughed at Lexie's excitement.

"Nice. I mean I would hate to be a bet too." Callie looked at Lexie. "Sorry that came out all wrong."

"Right." Callie said putting the chart down and then walking away.

"Callie!" Lexie yelled out to stop her friend from leaving. Callie only threw up her hand and continued walking.

"God, just talking about them makes me stupid." Lexie said to herself.

Callie walked into Danny's room and noticed that he was still sleeping. Arizona and her parents sat up in their chairs when Callie entered the room. Arizona immediately thought she didn't understand how Callie could get any sexier until she walked in the door. The light blue scrubs, the scrubs cap and the absence of her white jacket just looked so hot that Arizona thought she would now be the one making a scene.

"I see he's still out." Callie smiled.

"So how did it go?" Daniel asked.

"It went as well as possible. It is going to take several weeks and rehab to make sure that everything heals. We had to do some repairs to the ACL and I ended up having to use 4 screws in his leg. We'll keep him for the next few days and see how he does. After that we will release him to go home. He will need to get to a Orthopedic doctor immediately and start rehab there."

"Thank you." Barbara said very quietly.

"Your welcome. I have to go. I am due in another surgery in a little while. I will be there for a few hours then I will come back and check on Danny."

"Ok." Daniel said.

Callie looked at Arizona even though she didn't want to. Arizona smiled and said "See you then."

Callie turned to walk from the room without a response of any kind. Just before she get to the door she stopped and turned around. She looked directly at Arizona. "Can I see you outside, please?"

Arizona raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but quickly jump up and run at Callie's beckon call. However she tried to remain calm at the fact Callie wanted to speak to her privately outside. "Sure." Arizona said as she smiled at her parents and followed Callie out.

Once just outside the door, Callie quickly turned to Arizona. Arizona smiled. "Yes, Calliope."

"No. Don't you Calliope me. You, as a surgeon, knows what anesthesia does to people."

"Excuse me?"

"People-when they are under anesthesia. They talk… a lot." Callie saw Arizona's smile fall and almost turn white. Callie knew that she would now go in for the kill. "A bet? Really? I am not a prize in some childish game Doctor Robbins. Game over. And no you will not be taking me to dinner, or anywhere else for that matter. I am not your trophy."

"Callie, I….."

"Who are you?" Callie walked off leaving Arizona stunned. As she walked she could feel Arizona's eyes still on her. Callie smiled as she couldn't help but notice what had happened today. Danny had talked about Lexie and she had just got one up on Arizona. The tides were turning. She, for the first time, felt they were gaining control.

Arizona walked into the room and silently returned to her seat. "Arizona? Is there something wrong with Danny." Barbara asked nervously.

Arizona looked over at her parents. "I will kill him. He told her about the bet and she is NOT happy with me." Arizona turned her stare to her sleeping brother. "He survived a war and I am going to kill him."
