Let me just say before this chapter. This story was started a couple months ago before the new season. It started after the finale of last season. So that is why is started with the shooting scene. Or my version. I have 12 chapters done and will try and get them up as quick as possible. Thanks for reading.

Chapter 3

As Arizona laid there with her hand in Callie's, she was just glad Callie had lived through it. Arizona had only been asleep a few hours when the hand inside her began to move.

Arizona jumped up to see Callie's eyes trying to open.

"Callie?" Arizona hit the call button.

"Can I help you?" A voice came over the speaker.

"Yes, can you page Richard Webber, please?"

"Yes ma'am."

Arizona leaned over Callie, "Calliope, Can you hear me?"

Callie nodded her head and tried to speak. Arizona leaned in closer to hear. She wanted to make sure she heard what Callie said. Maybe she was going to say she was in pain or that she loved her. She wanted to hear. "Calliope, can you try again?"

"Thirsty."

Arizona laughed. "Here I thought you were going to say something profound and you just want a drink." Arizona walked to the table and came back with a cup of water and a straw. She knew the bleeding had done this, but she still wanted to hear Callie say something else. She really didn't care what Callie said as long as she was saying something.

Richard came into the room. "How are we, Torres?" He said as he checked her over.

"Whe…..re am I?" Callie struggled to speak.

"You are at Seattle Presbyterian. You were brought here after the shooting."

"What happe….. Mark."

Arizona stepped in, "Calliope don't worry about any of that. We will talk about it later.

We are all fine. Mark, Lexi and Christina are okay."

"Bai…."

"Bailey is okay too. We will talk about it all when you are better, okay." Arizona said as

she brushed the hair out of Callie's eyes.

"I love you." That was the only complete sentence Callie had made.

Arizona smiled with pride. "I love you too. Now just rest."

"Okay." With that, Callie was asleep again.

Richard looked at Arizona. "Can I see you outside please?"

Arizona nodded and followed him into the hall.

"Arizona, I know that you know this, but there is no reason to have this conversation with her for a while."

"I know. I just feel like I am lying to her. I can't lie to her."

"Okay, if she asks then tell her. Until then, I say wait."

Richard's pager went off. "Damn it. I gotta run. Mark said he was on his way." Richard started down the hall and turned back to Arizona. "If you need me, page. Wait Arizona.

Wait."

"I will."

Arizona stood outside the room watching Callie rest for a while. Arizona loved Callie more than anyone she had ever been with. She knew she loved her and there wasn't a doubt in her mind . She knew she loved her enough to give in to the one thing she said she never would; children. The thought of children had always made Arizona very uncomfortable. She hated lying to Callie, but she had. Arizona watched parents go through unbelievable pain every day. She looked at kids and knew they would never grow up, get married, have children or play like other kids. She wondered everyday how parents handle that kind of pain. That kind of life changing event. It scared Arizona. Scared her to the point she couldn't breathe sometimes. The tiny coffins haunted her sleep. Even as an adult, she watched her parents go through that pain for their adult son. It is a fear that never leaves a parent; never goes away.

Now Arizona had made a promise now. She told Callie they could have all kinds of kids. Arizona regretted that now. Not because she had changed her mind, she just knew that would be one of the first things Callie would ask about. Arizona lost track of time. She didn't really know how long she had been there.

Arizona entered the room again. She looked at Callie. What was she going to do? How was she going to handle this? Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the window. She turned to see Mark just outside the door. She walked into the hallway again.

"Hey. Richard said she was awake." Mark looked through the window smiling.

"She was, yes." Arizona couldn't help but smile as her and Mark stood at the window watching Callie.

He quickly turned his attention to Arizona. "You didn't…."

"No. God no! She was awake all of thirty seconds."

"I would wait until she is home."

There was no response from Arizona.

"I would've done it." Mark said

"Would have done what?"

"You know….it. When Callie started talking about children I kinda figured she would

ask. I would have done it."

"Really?"

"Yeah! I woulda done it. She was going to raise Sloan's baby with me." Mark looked at Arizona then returned his attention to Callie. "I would've done it for her. If she wanted me to, I would've for her."

"How am I going to tell her, Mark? How am I going to tell her she will never have the one thing she wants more than anything." Arizona started to cry. "How do I tell her?"

"If you need me to help you, I will." Mark hugged Arizona and continued to look at Callie.

"Did Addy call back yet?"

"Yes. We sent all the test to her today. She is looking over everything and is going to

come down next week sometime."

"So we have until next week."

"I gotta go. I promise Lexi a decent meal tonight. You know, no hospital food."

"How's Alex."

"Still critical. I think I really screwed this one up. I think she really likes him."

"If you love her fight for her."

"You sound like Callie."

"I will take that as a compliment."

"She loves you, Robbins. I mean she REALLY loves you. She has been through a lot with

George and Erica. They broke her for a while. It's good to see the light back in her eyes. That smile."

"What if it's gone?"

"As long as you are there, she will handle it. She is strong. She will get through this."

Mark leaned over and kissed Arizona on the forehead. "I gotta go. Call if she wakes up again."

Again Arizona was left in the hallway looking in on Callie. "I'm a good man in a storm…not a hurricane."

Arizona spent most of the night watching Callie sleep until she feel asleep herself. Callie woke early the next morning and to Arizona's surprise was much more awake than the times before. Callie had finally turned the corner.

Arizona looked at Callie's eyes as they were opening. "Hey gorgeous." Arizona smiled.

"How are you feeling."

"Like someone shot me."

"Well at least it's accurate." Arizona was relieved to hear Callie talking normally.

"Arizona, what happened?"

"What do you remember?"

"I remember wanting to find you. I remember us walking down the hall and talking to Mr. Clark then he shot me. Oh my god! Is everybody okay? Where is Mark and Bailey?

How's Chris…."

Arizona interrupted her. "Calliope, everyone is doing was well as can be expected. Mark

is fine. Christina….well Christina handled herself very well from what I hear. She is

being praised to say the least and you know Christina is eating that up."

"Oh, do tell."

Arizona smiled at Callie. "I love you. You do know that, right?"

"Yes, I do and I love you too. Now Christina?"

Arizona chuckled, "Boy that was romantic."

"I said I love you too." Callie laughed. "Oh..oh that hurts." Callie tried hard to stop laughing.

"That's what you get Calliope Torres. You tell me you love me and try to act like you mean it this time." Arizona smiled while giving Callie a hard time.

"Dr. Arizona Robbins, I love you. I love you more than you will ever know." Callie had

Arizona's complete attention. "Now for the love of God woman, tell me what happened."

"That was so much better. You know I have just missed talking to you. Talking about anything…nothing. I have missed you."

"I have missed you too."

That was enough for Arizona. "This is what I know. Derrick was shot."

"Is he okay!"

"Get this." Arizona sat on the end of Callie's bed. "Christina preformed a life saving surgery on Derrick at gun point."

"No way! Shut up! Go Yang."

"Mr. Clark was after Derrick, Richard and Lexi for the death of his wife. So he shot Derrick in front of April, Meredith and Christina."

Callie tried to say something but just couldn't.

"Yang and Avery took him into surgery. He came in and held them at gunpoint, Owen went in to help and he shot Owen." Before Callie could asked Arizona answered, "He is fine. Avery unplugged the EKG leads making it like Derrick died. When Mr. Clark left, they plugged the leads back on him and went back to work. Derrick is fine. We did lose two."

"WHO!""Charles and Reed. Callie, all this may be to much for you now."

"So Bailey is okay too?"

"She was with Charles when he died and was very upset. She is doing better now, but it will be a while before Bailey is back to normal. They have all of us appointments to see a therapist when we go back."

"Go back? Who isn't back?"

"There was a lot that happened. The hospital has broken doors and windows. Equipment was destroyed and there were bullet holes and blood everywhere. There were nurses and pts, hospital employees and visitors that were killed. It was a mess. They haven't let anyone back in yet."

"Derrick is recovering and Owen is Okay? Alex! I remember seeing Alex. Where is Alex?" Callie noticed that Arizona's expression changed. "Just tell me."

"He is still in critical condition. They believe he will live, but he hasn't regained consciousness yet."

"How long?"

"Four days."

"It's been four days?"

"Yes."

"What happened to me. I thought it was like yesterday or the day before. Four days?"

"Calliope, you suffered a lot of bleeding and they had to repair a lot. You went into surgery and then were taken back twelve hours later."

"So am I okay?" Callie noticed that Arizona looked like she was trying to find something

to say. "What?" Callie said somber. "What? You need to tell me."

"There was a lot of damage. A lot of damage to her lower back, kidneys and stomach."

Arizona stopped when she noticed, by the look on Callie's face, she knew where this was

going. "Calliope, there…."

"So are you about to tell me that I can no longer have children?"

Arizona moved up the bed and set beside Callie to where she was looking her directly in the face. "They did everything they could. Addison is coming next week to make sure."

Callie started to laugh. Arizona realized it wasn't a good laugh. "Are you freakin kidding me?" Callie looked at Arizona. "Well I guess you don't have to keep your promise."

"Calliope Torres! That isn't fair."

"I can't have kids? That's fair?"

"I get you are angry, but this isn't the way to handle this. Addison will come and…."

"Do what?" Callie screamed. "Turn back the clock? Make Mr. Clark's wife live, make him not blame the staff at Seattle Grace, not walk into our hospital with a gun, not shoot me or Charles or Reed? What is she going to do, Arizona?" Arizona just looked at Callie.

"What I thought. Nothing!"

"Calliope."

"Don't Calliope me! You should be happy." Callie now was crying so hard she couldn't

breathe.

Arizona moved in and pulled Callie to her. "I am so sorry. We will see what Addy says.

There may be something she can do. We will wait on her."

"I can't….."

Arizona just held Callie closer. Addison will be here next week. Addison has to have an answer. She has to. All Arizona could think was Mark loved her enough.
