Chapter 8:

Callie Torres, September 11th 2015:

"Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Came Barbara Robbins question.

It had been a week since the Colonel and Teddy left Seattle to attend Tim's funeral. She was glad that Teddy finally found the strength to go. She had come to care about the woman in the short amount of time that they've known each other.

It had been one crazy week for Callie. She practically spent all of her time at the hospital, she barely saw her daughter or her girlfriend. She barely ate or slept. All that was on her mind was how she could help Arizona keep her arm and still be able to use it.

However, she barely had the time to come up with a plan that the blonde's body fell into shock and she had to perform surgery with only half of a plan.

She was lucky to have Mark and Derek's help. All three of them manage to save the blonde's arm with minimal damage to the muscles and nerves and with minimal scarring.

The only thing to do now was to wait for the blonde to wake up. She won't be able to assess the results if the blonde wasn't awake and to try to use her arm.

All this happened two days ago and now she was standing near Arizona's bedroom door eavesdropping the conversation between the Robbins's and Derek.

She knew that she had to come in and update the patient's family on her status, tell them what happened while they were away.

Truth is she was scared shitless of facing both of Arizona's parents. She knew what to expect with the Colonel, Barbara, however, was a whole other story.

What could happen? She will just walk inside, tell them everything they needed to know about their daughter and leave. Easy peasy, right? It was just another patient, she had tons of patients.

But the thing was that it was the complete opposite of easy. What if Arizona was to wake up? What was she going to tell her, especially with her parents in the same room. She had spent the whole week creating scenarios of their meeting. All of them with her asking Arizona the same question. Why?

"Mrs. Robbins, your daughter had a sustained a severe trauma to the head. The fact that she's breathing now is a miracle. We don't know the extent of the damage her brain sustained. We need to wait for her to wake. I'm sorry I can't give you anything else. You just have to be patient and keep hoping." She heard Derek tell them. She shook her head at the man always able to get himself out of sensitive situation. She knew that if it was her, she would be a babbling mess, especially in front of Barbara Robbins.

She saw Derek come out of the room and walk toward her. He had a knowing look on his face and his signature smirk in place.

"Good luck, the Mother's not easy." With that he was gone.

She shook her head at the man for the second time in barely ten minutes. It was always like that between them. He would tease her and she would act annoyed at him, while in fact she was amused.

Derek and Mark both were her first friend when she came to Seattle to do her residency. Always in competition with each other. The two people with the biggest ego in the hospital. Surgeon were known to have a big ego but nothing compared to the ego of this two doctors.

Between the three of them, no girl could escape their charm. However, they all settle down soon enough. Derek being the first and Callie the last.

But all good thing had an end when two years ago, Derek lost his leg in a plane crash and Mark lost his fiancée. She was supposed to be on that plane but Sofia was sick this particular night and Callie stayed with her sending Alex Karev instead. Thankfully he survived the crash without any real damage otherwise the guilt would have eaten Callie alive.

She was happy to see that despite what happened to her friend he stayed still the same. Even though in the beginning it was hard for him, not wanting his 'Post it' wife, Meredith Grey, to see him like that. Callie was there for him every step of the way, helping him through his recovery. When she wasn't with him, she was helping Mark, trying to make him want to live.

However, she wasn't that successful with him and she knew that a part of him died when Lexie died... Like a part of her died when Arizona vanished.

She shook herself out of those depressing thoughts and braced herself to see Barbara Robbins for the first time in six years.

"This is all your fault! My baby is this bed because of you!" She heard Barbara say when she entered the room. She frowned, what did she mean by it was the Colonel's fault?

The Colonel was about to answer his wife when he noticed Callie in the room. He cleared his throat to bring his wife's attention to the doctor.

Callie saw Barbara Robbins turn in her direction. She saw how she froze on the spot and her eyes widened in recognition before letting out a loud gasp.

"Oh my god! Calliope!" Callie barely had the time to acknowledge the woman that she was engulfed in the tightest hug she ever received. To say she was shocked was an understatement. She expected the older Robbins to treat her more like her husband did when he first saw Callie. It took Callie some time but eventually she reciprocated the hug. She couldn't believe it! She was hugging Barbara Robbins. Growing up, Barbara was like a second mother to her. To see that the woman was happy to see her was making Callie so unbelievably happy, she almost had tears streaming down her face from happiness.

"Where have you been? You completely disappeared from the surface of the earth after your graduation!" Barbara said once she released Callie from her hug. She was holding Callie at arm's length, looking at her from head to toe.

Callie didn't know what to say. Wasn't she aware of what happened? What was she even supposed to tell her? 'Sorry your daughter broke my heart... So I flew to the other side of the country to start again.' Yeah that wouldn't work. So she settled for the answer everybody gives when they don't want to talk about something.

"It's a long story." She said looking at Barbara apologetically. She could see that Barbara wanted to argue and keep asking her questions. She understood her, it had been a while and she wanted to catch up but Callie wasn't ready for that. It was already really hard to be in a room with all the Robbins, well almost all of them.

Suddenly, it felt like Barbara knew what Callie was thinking and a somber look took over her face.

"I'm sorry for Timmy…" Callie said in a small voice bringing Barbara from her thoughts. She hadn't noticed now, but looking around the room she could see that the Colonel wasn't present anymore. "I… just… if you need anything, I'm here for you." Callie said honestly.

She could see that Barbara was trying hard to contain her tears. Without thinking Callie wrapped the small frame of Barbara in her arms. Letting her tears finally fall for the first time since she learned about Tim's death.

She couldn't even imagine what Barbara was felling. The felling of hopelessness. She dedicated all her life for her children and to have one of them so brutally taken from her and the other in an uncertain situation. It was just all.. she didn't even have words for it. Thinking about Sofia she didn't know what she will do if anything happened to her. Seeing this woman standing there strong for her only child left brought Callie to a state of admiration she didn't know she could have for the woman in her arms.

"What are you doing here sweetie?" Barbara asked her once she was free of Callie's embrace. She was wiping her eyes but the tears kept on coming making Callie's heart ache for her second mother.

"Well I work here and I'm one of Arizona's doctors." She could see the surprise on Barbara's face. "I came to give you an update on her status."

"Oh! I thought someone told you about the… um, you know? And you came to see us." Callie could clearly see the disappointment on Barbara's face. She didn't know what she could tell her. It was a though position for her.

She was supposed to be mad at the Robbins's... Especially after they didn't reached out after she wrote them after Arizona left.

She could feel her phone buzzing in her pocket. She hadn't paid attention to it since she came in the room but now it was started to get annoying. Who keeps calling her every two seconds?

In the end she avoided her phone one last time before turning to Barbara and doing what she does best, avoid an awkward situation. She briefed Barbara on Arizona's situation, about how she was hopeful that she'll be able to recover full mobility of her arms and that they only had to wait for her to wake up.

"I have to go but I'll come back as soon as I can." Callie started and Barbara nodded. "Again, if you need anything –"

"Doctor Torres!" An intern came barging in the room, preventing Callie from finishing her sentence.

"What?" She snapped looking at him with irritation written all over her face.

" I'm- it's-" He stammered. She could see the fear in his eyes.

"Get on with it!"

"It's your daughter!" He quickly blurted out and brought his hands to his mouth.

Her heart stopped and she froze on the spot. The fear that coursed through her body was indescribable. She then heard Barbara Robbins gasped. Not knowing how she did it she turned around toward the older woman.

"Oh my god, Arizona!"

It has been two weeks since she disappeared.

Two weeks since she saw her beautiful face.

Two weeks since she last woke up in her arms.

Two weeks since she kissed her or held her.

Two very long and excruciating weeks. She never felt like that. This feeling of being broken beyond repair, of wanted to scream until she lost her voice or cry until her eyes were dryer than the Sahara.

She tried looking for her the first few days. She called everyone she could think of. She called her phone and left messages so many time she lost count. She never got any reply. She went to her parents and apparently the Colonel was waiting for her. He immediately told her that his daughter didn't want anything to do with her. That it wasn't worth it... to try and contact her and then he closed the door on her face.

At the end of the first week she left. She couldn't stay in the apartment where they shared so many things together. It seemed that it never meant anything to the blonde.

She asked to be transferred in another hospital, on the other side of the country. She wanted to be as far away from anything that reminded her of Arizona.

She moved in Seattle, it was closer to her family and right now she needed them more than anything. To say her father was furious was an understatement. He couldn't understand how Arizona could have left his daughter.

She was now in the basement of the hospital where she was living. She didn't have time to look for a place and didn't want to go live with her parents.

Her eyes widened when she saw it and immediately collapsed on the cold hard floor of the basement, leaving out a broken sob that would give chill to anyone who could hear it.

She let go of the stick with the little pink plus and hugged her legs to her chest, sobbing her heart out.

Her whole life just changed in the space of a second and she was utterly and completely alone.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

A/N: so? Like It? Hate it? Love it? Let me know and hopefully another chapter will be up next week.
