There was a lot of talk about what would you like to see in season 7 when I wrote the next two chapters. They are kinda my 'wish list' scenes.
Chapter 5
Arizona had gone back to work after asking Callie to marry her and was greeting by everyone with words of encouragement and congratulations. Callie had called Mark and Cristina when Arizona left, so the entire hospital knew by the time Arizona got back. She didn't mind. She was glad Callie was so excited. Arizona finished her shift at the hospital. Once Arizona got to the apartment she was greeted by a celebration party. Mark,
Lexi, Cristina, Owen and Teddy were all there. They laughed more that night than they had in weeks. Everyone sat and told there favorite Callie and Arizona story.
"No. No. The best was being stuck with Callie in that room." Lexi laughed. "I have pox between my butt cheeks. Your pain doesn't compare to mine."
Everyone laughed. "I am so sorry I put you in there with her." Arizona gave a almost sincere apology.
"No. She comes to me and says, did you check out Arizona. I said, no I haven't been to peds and asked to see the doctor that kissed my friend in a dirty bar bathroom."
"That was great." Callie laughed and high fived Mark.
"I think one of our funniest moment was when I prayed that God would just let me get over the butterflies on her scrub cap. Little did I know, I shoulda prayed much bigger."
"Hey. That isn't funny."
"So Arizona, what is your favorite?" Owen asked.
"I have so many. Let's see will it be the pee pee dance, or the brushing vomit out of her hair, or the 'can you give me a list of names'."
Everyone said together. "Pee Pee dance." Everyone laughed.
"That isn't funny. I was nervous." Callie said in defense of herself.
The rest of the night was spent telling stories of these two. Talking about surgeries they done together and the infamous pound caking talk. When everyone was done, they said their goodnights. Tomorrow was another long day. With everyone out, it made the doctors that were there very busy. Arizona, Cristina and Owen cleaned up the dishes from dinner while Callie was showering. Once they were done, Arizona made her way to the bedroom. Callie was already in the bed waiting on her.
"I thought you guys were never gonna get done."
"We were just talking. You know, tonight made me realize something."
"What?" Callie sat up in the bed.
"There is something I need to tell you."
"What?"
"Don't get mad okay."
"Okay."
"I…..well….I may have had the chicken pox."
"What?"
"I had the chicken pox and I told you I hadn't."
Callie laughed. "I know, Arizona."
"What? How?"
"You told Lexi. Lexi told Mark. You see where this is going?"
"You knew the whole time?"
"Yes." Callie laughed. "I also know that you threatened Alex with bricks. You said it yourself. People talk where we work, a lot."
"Calliope Torres. You knew?" Arizona laughed as she climbed into bed and kissed
Callie. "You are going to pay for that."
"Good." Callie said into their kiss.
"Not tonight." Arizona said breaking the kiss that was turning much more intense.
"Why?"
"Callie, you are still recovering." Arizona got out of bed and out of her clothes.
"So you think undressing is helping this?"
Arizona climbed back into bed. "I love you, Callie. Now go to sleep." Arizona kissed her
one last time before turning off the light.
Callie huffed as the light went out.
"Keep on and we will be telling this story next time." Arizona snuggled against Callie.
"When you get better."
"I am better."
"Callie."
"I am."
"Goodnight, Calliope."
"Awwwww." Callie moaned.
"Goodnight." Arizona smiled.
"Night." Callie said giving in.
The next day was everyone's first day back at Seattle Grace Mercy West. Arizona had been busy most of the morning with a four hour surgery that she was paged in for at six o'clock this morning. Following her late night, she was exhausted already. Arizona walked over to the desk to do some charting for another patient when Mark walked up giggling.
"Morning Robbins."
Arizona looked up to see the giggling face. "Mark." Arizona went back to charting.
"What's up?"
"Just wanted to see if you got the email this morning?"
"Email? No I haven't checked. I, unlike you, have been busy today."
"So you don't know?" Mark giggled again with a little excitement to his voice.
"No." Arizona stopped charting and looked at Mark. "No I don't, but it seems there is
something you are wanting me to know."
"Richard sent out an email this morning. Seems that while Derrick is in the hospital,
Richard is back in at Chief."
"Well, good for him."
"So while Karev is still in too and Hunt has two more weeks off for his injury, we are short staffed. So they thought we could use some help with some of the surgeries. Teddy
is taking some of the general stuff for a while and…"
Arizona looked up when Mark stopped talking. He was now looking over her shoulder and began to talk really fast. "So now we have some surgeons coming in to help us for a week or two."
"Really?" Arizona said just as someone walked up behind.
"Well if it isn't Mark Sloan."
Arizona turned to see a female doctor she had never seen before. Mark greeted her.
"Hey." Mark thought that he needed to introduce these two. "Ummm….Arizona Robbins this is Erica Hahn."
Arizona tried not to seem shocked.
"You new here?" Erica asked.
"No. I have been the head of Pediatrics for over a year now." Arizona said with pride.
Somehow already she was defensive.
"Oh, Peds. Hard work down there."
"Yes, yes it is."
"Well I have a full schedule. Mark it was good seeing you again." Erica then turned to Arizona. "Arizona it was a pleasure meeting you." With that, Erica walked off.
Cristina came running up to Mark and hit him immediately. "Mark, that was so insensitive of you."
"Thanks, Cristina." Arizona said with anger in her voice.
Cristina looked at Arizona. "What? Huh? Oh yeah, right." She then turned to Mark.
"Dude, you could have waited on me. Erica and Arizona face to face? I mean we could have sold tickets."
Arizona slammed the chart on the desk and walked around the two saying, "I really don't
even know why she is friends with either of you."
"Robbins, you're kinda hot when you are angry." Mark said laughing.
"Shut it, Sloan" Arizona said never turning back to see him.
Arizona finished checking on her patients and decided she wanted to see Callie. She loved the fact that Callie was now just across the street. She gathered her things and made her way across the street for lunch.
Callie heard the key in the door and knew she had to hang up the phone. "I know Mark, I am sure you thought it was a riot. She's here. I gotta go." Callie quickly hung up the phone before the door opened.
Arizona walked in to find Callie was sitting on the couch. "You know, I have never understood daytime television, but I must say it is entertaining. I believe we could make a show at Seattle Grace. It would be a huge hit, with all the people sleeping around in closets and things."
"Yeah" Arizona said as she sat heavily on the couch. "So do you know?"
"Know what?"
"Calliope." Arizona said as she cut your eyes over to Callie.
"How did you not get the email? Chief Webber sent it to everyone."
"I was called in early remember. I didn't have time to check my email before Mark got his kicks for the day in introducing us."
"I'm sorry. If I thought you didn't know, I would have called you. So other than coming face to face with Erica unexpected, how has your day been?"
"Really? Not so good."
"You want me to make you some lunch?"
"No. I'll get it." Arizona stood and walked over to the kitchen. "She isn't really what I had imagined."
"Oh yeah?"
"Nope." Arizona was looking around in the contents of the refrigerator. "Want a sandwich?"
"Already been over this. I don't really like them." Callie repositioned herself to face the kitchen. "What do you mean?"
"I don't know. I just thought she would be different. Want some fruit? I need fruit. I love fruit."
"Sure I will take some fruit. Like what kind of different?"
"Are we out of soda?"
"Ummm you never drink soda. You want to talk about this?"
Arizona raised up, "Not really. I would like to have lunch with my girlfriend and not talk about her ex girlfriend."
"Bed buddy really."
Arizona looked at Callie. "Really? I would rather call her your ex thank you."
"If girlfriend makes you feel better, then girlfriend."
Arizona put the contents of her lunch on the bar and sat down. Callie continued to just look at her. "You know she is okay if you like that….."
"I thought we weren't talking about her. What happened with the patient this morning?"
Callie started to laugh and walked over to the bar and took the seat next to Arizona.
Arizona smiled and told Callie about her day. The parts that didn't involve meeting Erica. She then told Callie the latest on Derrick and Alex. Arizona really missed Alex. He was who she had taken under her wings, the future as she so often referred to him. In the case this morning, she could have really used him.
"I miss him. You know in that throw a brick at you sorta way."
"I know, but I am glad he is doing better."
They finished the sandwich and fruit together. Arizona looked at her watch. "I gotta run.
Oh and I talked to my parents this morning. They are coming to Seattle in two weeks. I thought maybe you could talk to your parents and we could have them all meet. You know, before the wedding." The words had no more gotten out of her mouth, than there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Callie said as Arizona was collecting her things.
Callie opened the door and there was silence for a second. "Hey." Arizona finally heard Callie speak. Then Arizona heard the voice she had just heard earlier.
"Callie. How are you?" Arizona looked up as Callie motioned for Erica to come in. "I heard you were injured in the shooting and I was just coming to check on you." Erica noticed Arizona. "Oh Doctor Robbins, I am sorry. Were you checking on her? I can come back."
"No, you are good." Arizona smiled that smile. The one Callie knew all to well. The smile that said I am smiling to act like I am happy. You know better, right? Callie would have laughed, but felt it totally inappropriate. "I have to go back to the hospital anyway. Now that I know Callie is fine." Arizona said in response to Erica's comment.
Arizona put her bag over her shoulder and walked toward the door. As she walked by Callie she leaned over and kissed Callie gently on the lips and smiled. "And I will see you tonight."
"And I probably can't wait." Callie returned the smile.
Erica watched the interaction between the two and realized coming over may not have been a well thought out plan.
Arizona turned to walk out the door and passed Erica. "Dr. Hahn, I am assuming I will see you at the hospital."
"Um, I am sure you will."
Arizona had just passed Erica when Callie said "I love you. See you later."
"Love you too. Get some rest."
Arizona left leaving Erica in somewhat of shock. "I didn't realize. I mean, when I met her this morning, I thought Mark was enjoying it too much, but I had no idea."
"Yeah we have been together over a year. So how are you?"
"Good. I would ask the same about you, but it is pretty obvious how you have been."
"I am good. Really, really good." Callie's smile almost melted Erica.
Callie sat on the couch after Erica took a seat at the bar. "So she doesn't mind me being here?"
Callie chuckled, "She is probably at the hospital now looking for bricks to throw at you."
Erica looked a little intimidated. "Really?"
"No, she is good with us. I mean me and Arizona. She knows that I would never do anything to cost our relationship. We trust each other."
"That's good. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am about the way I handled things."
"Don't be. Without you, without that night, I wouldn't have Arizona. That is what I can't imagine my life without."
"You are that serious, huh?"
"Yep. Talking marriage and babies."
Erica laughed, "Wow that is serious. I am glad."
"So what about you?"
"Well I started seeing someone six months ago. We are just taking it slow. We are both every busy and are just feeling things out."
"I am glad you are happy. I know now what happened between us, brought me to her. I don't regret any of it. Without you, I may not have opened myself to that."
"Yeah, thanks." They both laughed. "I need to get back I have a ton of patients, but I just wanted to check on you."
"I am glad you did. It's good to see you."
Erica stood and began to walk toward the door. "Maybe I will see you before I leave."
"Thanks for checking on me."
"Anytime." Erica made her way out of the apartment. She had never seen Callie that happy. Arizona and Callie seemed so at ease with her being there. The only thing on Erica's mind right now was killing Mark Sloan.
Arizona had been very busy all day. Her morning started early and now she was dealing with literally running into Erica all day. Arizona just wanted quiet for a minute and made her way to the doctor's lounge. She sat on the couch and laid her head back. She seemed to just be there a minute when the door opened. Arizona looked over to see Erica.
"Can we talk?"
