Funny thing is this was written WAY before 7x7 episode. It however has an airport scene that starts the same way. Kind of. LOL

Chapter 14

Arizona looked at Carlos and Maria as they were standing bewildered by what had just happened. "Arizona, dear, are you alright?"

"Yes." She said wiping the tears from her eyes. "Can we please just go?"

"Sure." Maria said putting her arm around Arizona. She didn't have any clue what had happened, but it was obvious Arizona was heartbroken.

During the ride home, Callie explained the situation to her parents. Carlos immediately felt shame. It was only a short time ago that very little separated him from Michael. He saw now, and by that story, just how wrong he had been. That was the only word he could think of; shame.

Arizona hated people knowing. She somehow felt it made her look like she didn't care.

Like she walked away without regret. Arizona just hated for people to know. She had hid this for so long, it just seem weird people talking about it now. Carlos had wondered way

Callie was so angry. He had thought for a moment he was going to have to pull her off the

man. When he found out why, he wished he had helped. Again, he felt nothing but shame.

Once they got home, Arizona and Callie packed their things. Callie had booked a midnight flight out of Miami and would arrive in Seattle at just after four in the morning and they would be home by six. She was hoping that Arizona would get some sleep on the plane, then a few hours in the morning before going to the hospital. She knew that was a long shot, but hoped that would happen.

Once they arrived at the airport, Arizona and Callie hugged her parents goodbye. As they watched the two women walk off hand in hand, they were proud of Callie. She was a successful doctor that was putting her vacation on hold for the welfare of a child. The way that she comforted Arizona and was still handling her with kid like gloves, made them even more proud. She truly loved Arizona and they knew it. Carlos smiled to himself when he thought of Callie going after Michael. That is what he would have done to anyone who mistreated Maria and he was proud Callie did the same. He wished he had helped her. If he had only known. Everyone that knew Carlos Torres knew you didn't mess with his family. Arizona was family now and that included her.

As they walked through the airport, fingers still intertwined, Callie was walking just a step ahead of Arizona. Callie suddenly felt her arm tug and knew that Arizona had stopped. Callie turned to Arizona.

"What?"

"I have remembered that baby who I left in the floor playing that night, for years. That little grin he gave me before I left, I still see in my sleep. I left him again, Callie. I will have a new face to see in my dreams."

"This is up to you. We don't have to leave here. We can get a lawyer and fight for him. Seattle Grace has plenty of doctors that can handle Kyle. They can. Alex came back yesterday and….."

"I did it the first time because I thought it was the best thing for him and now….."

Arizona was interrupted by the announcement coming over the intercom.

"Flight 211 for Seattle is now boarding."

Callie looked at Arizona. "This is your call."

"I can't disrupt is life." Arizona turned to walk away.

"He waved."

Arizona stopped and turned. "What?"

"He waved. Conner, he looked at you crying like his own heart was broke and he waved. Are you sure he doesn't know who you are?"

"He doesn't. He was just being polite I am sure. There is no way. I know Michael and how he feels about this. He didn't seem like tonight that his choices in the matter had changed." Arizona walked up to Callie and took her hand back. "I just wanna go home, Callie. Let's just go home. I want out of this town. I can't breathe in this town."

"Ok." Callie said taking her hand as they began to walk. She couldn't believe Arizona was letting herself be in this much denial about Conner, but she would support her. She would come to grips with it eventually and Callie would just be there for her then.

The flight home was quiet. Arizona had her head laid on Callie's shoulder, but Callie knew she hadn't slept at all. Callie laid her head against the top of Arizona's and just sat with her the entire six and a half hour flight. She was at least hoping Arizona got some rest at home before going to the hospital.

They arrived in Seattle just before four and was walking into the apartment just before six. When they walked in Owen and Cristina were eating breakfast before going to the hospital.

"Well look what the gay cat drug in." Cristina laughed.

"Funny, Yang. Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor while we were gone."

Cristina watched Arizona just walk by without saying a word and going into their room.

"Hey, is roller girl ok?"

"Long story. Very long story."

"God I wish I had time. You know how I do love a long story that has people as bubbly as her upset. Rain check?"

"Knock it off, Cristina." Callie smiled. "She has a lot going on."

"Poor Tinkerbelle."

"We will be in later if anyone asks." Callie said as she walked into the room.

Callie laid her purse on the bed and walked toward the sound of running water. She had a seat on the toilet as Arizona was showering. "I told Cristina we would be in later. Maybe we can get a couple hours sleep."

"We?"

"Yes. You and me." Callie answered with playful attitude.

"I can handle it for a while. I am going in now."

"You haven't slept for the better part of two days. Plus there's the whole jet lag thing. Just rest a while."

"I can't. I have way to much on my mind. I would just lay there. I really need something to distract myself."

"Well I am going in with you."

Callie heard the water stop and Arizona stepped out wrapping a towel around her. "Just

rest for a few hours. I will call you about noon if I don't see you."

Callie followed her into the bedroom and watched her get dressed. "I just think you don't need to rush over there. You had a hard night."

"Thank you. I love you, but I am fine."

Callie now followed her into the living room. "Are you sure you are alright?"

Arizona was looking around the kitchen. "Damn they drank all the coffee." She turned

her attention to Callie. "I am fine." Arizona took a deep breathe. "When he was a baby neither of us knew that we wouldn't see each other again. I didn't look at him like I may never see him again. Last night I knew when I saw him, that was a very real possibly. If I close my eyes, his eyes will be all I will see. The best thing for me is to work. Concentrate on the tiny humans that need me."

Arizona kissed her and walked out of the apartment. "See you in a little while. Love you." She said as the door closed.

"Yeah, love you too." Callie said to the closed door.

It had been a week since they had came back from Miami. Kyle had gotten better just shortly after Arizona arrived. His parents credited Arizona solely for his recovery. She had done exactly what she said. She work and worked and worked. She took off one day and went to LA to help Addison on a case they had there. Callie had told her she would go, but Arizona insisted that Callie needed to stay and help out at the hospital.

She had gotten in late from LA and Callie just remembers her crawling into bed. When Callie woke the next morning, she kissed Arizona and left her sleeping. Today was quickly turning into a very busy day.

Callie was working the pit and was handing out charts when she saw someone come through the ER entrance. She didn't know how the hell this was happening. She handed one of the interns the chart she was looking over and ran to the door. She met Michael and called for a stretcher for Conner.

"What happened?"

"He won't eat."

"What?" Callie yelled across the ER. "GREY! Get over here.""Yeah." Lexie said.

"Take him into room three and hang some fluids, now."

Callie turned her attention back to Michael. "What..is..wrong…with…him?"

"Look, Callie, right?"

"My friends call me Callie. You call me Doctor Torres."

"You don't get to judge me. You don't even know me."

"Know you? Yeah I know you. I know that when your daughter was killed and you went to the person she loved more than anyone and took her son. I know that you changed his name and hide with him for years. I know that you left that woman heartbroken, so yes, I know exactly who you are; a monster."

"He is my grandson." Michael noticed Callie picking up the phone. "Who are you calling?"

"I am paging Arizona." Callie returned her attention to him. "You need to tell me why he isn't eating. And why you didn't take him to a hospital in Miami. Why did you put him on a nearly seven hour flight when he can barely sit up."

Michael paused and hung his head. Before he could answer Lexi came running from the room. "Callie, he pulled the IV out. He is fighting me over it."

Callie looked back at Michael. "Is he on a death mission here? You need to tell me what the hell is going on with him."

"He wants to talk to Arizona."

"What?"

"Somehow he knew who she was. We have fought ever since we seen her in Miami. I don't think he needs to know the details of his mother's life."

"So you would rather him be sick than to tell him?"

"I did what was best for him."

"Then why is he in my ER?"

Callie was interrupted by hearing Arizona ask the nurse. "I was paged."

When the nurse pointed to Callie, she saw who she was talking to. Arizona quickly walked over to them. "Why are you here? Where is Conner?"

"His name is Jacob."

"I know his name. I was the one who picked it out. I was there they moment we gave it to him, unlike you." Arizona lashed out. "Where is he?"

Callie took Arizona by the shoulders and moved her away from Michael. "He knows. Conner knows. He wanted some question answered and Michael wouldn't so he said he wasn't eating until he talked to you. Apparently he hasn't eaten in days."

"This is a hunger strike?"

"Appears that way. Lexi was trying to give him fluids, but he pulled the IV out."

Arizona walked back to Michael. "How long? How long as it been since he ate?"

"Two days that I know of."

When Arizona walked off, Callie went to Michael. "Go sit in the waiting room."

"I want to go in there. I have the right."

"You do. And I have the right to call that security guard over there to come and remove you. I have to do what is in the best interest of my patient and right now that isn't seeing you."

Arizona called for Lexi and went into the room. Arizona looked at the boy that looked so small in that bed. He was laying with his eyes closed. She brushed the dark hair that fell on his forehead and brushed her hand down his cheek. When she did that, he opened his blue eyes.

Arizona pulled the stool over and sat by the bed. "Hey."

He smiled. "You're here."

"Yep, wouldn't be anywhere else." Arizona took his hand. "You need to tell me how long it has been since you've eaten."

He wouldn't look at her as he said, "Four day."

Arizona tried to remain calm. "Ok, so this is what we are doing. I am going to put an IV in…."

"No!" Arizona was surprised by his response. He calmed his tone. "I mean, you can't. I did this because there are things I wanna know."

"This isn't up for debate. You need these fluids and helping you is all that is important to me right now. We will talk later."

"You promise?"

"I promise." Arizona straightened his arm and took the IV needle from Lexi. "Now, I have a surgery that I have to do in half an hour. I will finish it and when I get back we will talk."

"Ok."

"Alright." Arizona handed the chart to Lexi. "You stay with him. Don't leave him, Grey."

She smiled. "He an old patient?"

"No. He's my son." Lexi was shocked but saw the boy smile at Arizona's labeling of him.

Arizona walked over and kissed him on the head. "You do what doctor Grey says."

"Ok." He smiled as she lifted his head to look at her. "You look just like your mom. I will be back as soon as I can."

Arizona walked over to Callie. "Lexi has the chart. I am due in surgery so I will be back as quick as I am done. Make sure she stays with him."

As Callie watched Arizona walk off she said. "I told you he knew."

Arizona continued to walk and said, "Yeah cuz you're right and you're awesome."
