Chapter 18:

A few days past and things were still the same for Arizona. She woke up every day from nightmares, and have been getting visits from her mother and Teddy.

Her relationship with Teddy got better every day and she couldn't be more thankful, however, it wasn't the same case with her mother's. It was still awkward between them, every time Arizona tried to talk to her about what happened her mother would either change the subject or completely flee from the room.

Since the day threw her father out of the room, she didn't hear anything from him. She was glad that he stopped coming, she couldn't deal with him on top of all the things she had to deal with. Thinking about what she saw made her sick. Just thinking about what he's been doing to her mother made her want to storm out of that room and go pull a bullet in his stupid face!

Callie was still nowhere to be seen. She heard nurses say that she took some time off. She didn't know what to feel. She was at the same time relieved and anxious. She wanted to see her but on the other hand she dreaded the day they would be face to face once again. It had been so long and she didn't know what feelings would resurface first when she sees her.

Yep, nothing knew happened.

The only thing that change from her new ordinary life was the fact that she finally changed rooms. She wasn't in the ICU anymore. Her being more stable and on the road to recovery got her transferred to the ortho wing in a much more private room.

Yesterday she got a panic attack, it happened when she realized that she might not be able to perform surgery ever again. It just happened, one second she was ok, the next she was choking on air trying to breath. Being a surgeon was the only thing she had left and that her father couldn't control even when he forced her to join the Marines. Just thinking about not being able to do the only thing that really made her happy made Arizona feel like she didn't have any purpose anymore. Like what is the point of her surviving if she can't save lives? What was the purpose in life?

These question provoked the panic attack, not having answers made it worse.

The fact that she couldn't leave her bed didn't make things better, she just wanted to be able to go pee on her own or not hurt every time she breathed or laughed or talked. Even though her ribs were healing nicely she still hurt everywhere, her head, her arm, her ribs, her heart…

Someone knocked on her door making her slightly jump before she lifted her head to see who it was. She hid her disappointment when she saw that it was still Dr. Karev instead of Calliope. He quickly saluted her before saying that he was here to do his routine check up.

He was looking at her arm when she asked him something that she wanted to ask him for a while now. "Karev, where is Ca- Dr. Torres?" She cringed at her slip up and hoped that he hadn't noticed.

He stopped what he was doing and looked at her weirdly before shrugging and giving her a short answer. "She took the week off."

"Oh, can she do that? Isn't she the head of Orthopedics?" She tried to be as subtle as possible but to no avail.

At this point Alex didn't even care to know why she was asking all those questions and just answered her while he was rewrapping her arm and moving to her ribs.

"I don't know, some crap about wanting to spend more time with her daughter. Like you said she's the head of ortho she can do whatever the hell she wants."

She froze. She didn't know if she heard him right. Did he say daughter? Callie, her Calliope had a daughter.

She felt stupid, what was she expecting, it had been six years, of course she had a child, she probably had a husband too. She scoffed thinking of all the time they fought about Arizona being scarred of Callie leaving her and having the brunette calling her delusional. Well who was delusional now?

She only had herself to blame now, she should've fight harder, should've sent more letters and called more often. She shouldn't have stopped until she had an answer from the brunette. But at least she tried while Callie completely gave up on them.

"Oh sorry, I uh.." Arizona looked up to see her mother standing at the door. Arizona didn't know why she looked so flush when she realized that Alex was checking her ribs which mean he took her gown off and she sat there with only small bandages covering her modesty.

Looking down at herself she could see the bruising started to fade even though it was still pronounced.

"It ok mom, nothing you haven't seen before." Arizona tried to reassure her mother that she had no reason to be embarrassed.

Alex quickly covered her before saying that he was done. "Everything looks good so far. I would say a week or two before your ribs are completely healed."

Both Barbara and Arizona sighed relieved.

"When will I be able to finally get out of this bed?" Arizona impatiently asked.

"When your ribs are healed and Dr. Torres gives her ok." Alex answered and with that he bid his goodbye and left the mother and daughter alone.

Barbara was shifting nervously. She woke up this morning determined to finally talk to her daughter. She gave her enough time to herself and now it was time to get honest with each other.

"I brought you pizza, your favorite." Barbara said before walking to Arizona's bed and putting the box on the small table.

"Oh! Thank you mom. Hospital food is just the worst!" Arizona exclaimed before opening the box and taking a slice of pizza shoving half of it in her mouth.

Barbara sat on the chair next to Arizona's bed and looked fondly at her daughter devouring the pizza. She couldn't imagine her daughter being the person Callie despised.

"I saw Calliope the other day." Barbara started.

"Mom.." Arizona knew exactly what her mother what going to talk to her about and she didn't want to here it. Especially when she was enjoying her favorite pizza.

"Uou lied to me Arizona, Callie didn't break up with you. You left her." Barbara started.

"Mom…" Arizona tried again to cut her mother but it was another fail.

"Ee talked, you know? She told me everything, everything." Barbara took a deep breath trying to compose herself. "I didn't raise you to be like that! To run from your responsibilities, to be a coward and what makes everything worse is that you lied to my face!"

"Dad forced me!" Arizona yelled and Barbara immediately shut up. She looked at her confused and Arizona took a deep breath in before telling her mother the night her father hit her and forced her to join the Marines. It was the first time she said to someone else what happened and she felt like something had been lifted off her chest, like she could finally breath. By the time she finished Barbara had tears streaming down her face and she didn't know what to say. She had failed her daughter, as her mother she was supposed to protect her and she couldn't even protect her from her own father. But to be honest she didn't think she would need to.

"I tried to tell her, I called her, I wrote her letters but they always came back untouched. She is the one who gave up on us, she is the one who ran not me! Now she's married to some guy and has a daughter! Mom it hurts so much. I thought I moved on but I didn't and I'm in so much pain." Arizona was now on full on crying.

Barbara frowned when she heard what Arizona said. "Arizona, no, she didn't-"

"Look mom, she moved on and now I need to do the same." She sniffed, wiping her nose with her sleeve.

"Arizona-" Barbara tried again.

"I'm tired, I don't wanna talk anymore." Arizona said making her mother understand that it was the end of their conversation. Arizona laid down and turned so her back was facing her mother.

Barbara sighed before standing. She kissed Arizona's forehead and left the room confused more than ever. Her daughter and Callie needed to talk soon.

A week later:

Callie woke up that morning with a bad feeling. She didn't know what it was but she knew that something felt off.

She had spent an amazing week with her daughter and her girlfriend and now it was time to break their pink bubble and go back to work and confront reality.

They spent their week on a small cottage in the middle of nowhere her father recommended her. Sofia was happy to finally spend some time with her mother and Callie could see it from miles away. She was so happy that she was even nice to Kate without Callie having to tell her.

Callie could finally rest and forget about everything wrong in her life and only focus on her daughter and amazing girlfriend.

She didn't want to leave the cottage because everything was easy and just amazing and she knew what was waiting for her in Seattle. More like who was waiting for her.

In addition to it, she needed to find a moment to talk to Sofia about the picture she found in her hands. She didn't want to ruin their mini vacation by talking about it while they were away.

She turned to the other side of her bed and saw that it was empty. She then remembered that Kate had an early shift and had to leave early this morning.

She left her bed and went to get Sofia ready for school and herself for work.

Callie was in the elevator looking at her schedule for the day. She realized that her first patient of the day was Arizona when the elevator's doors opened. She looked up and smiled when she saw that it was Kate. Being alone in the elevator, Kate took the opportunity to greet her girlfriend with quick peck on the lips. She frowned when her lips touch the brunette's cheek instead of her lips.

"Here we go again..." She mumbled but Callie heard her.

"Excuse me?"

"Last week was amazing and you were fine with me kissing you. I didn't only kiss your lips but now that we're back at the hospital, you're back to being cold with me. It's not the first time it happened. At first I thought that it would pass but now I'm not so sure." Kate said. It had been awhile now that she wanted to say that and she thought she wouldn't have too after the amazing week they had but it seems she was wrong.

"I'm sorry, I'm just stressed because of work." Callie tried to excuse herself but to be honest she didn't really know why she was acting the way she did.

"You, you always say that, but I'm not sure if I believe you anymore." Kate finished just in time with the doors opening to her floor. She left not bothering to look back at Callie.

She could do this. It couldn't be so hard. She'll just go in, do her work and leave. Nothing less, nothing more. It wasn't like she remembered. She'll just have to treat her like it was just another person and not the person who broke her heart.

Callie was trying to give herself a pep talk before she went inside Arizona's room. She couldn't avoid her anymore now. Dhe had to check if her ribs were healed so she could get the blonde started on PT.

She took a deep breath and braced herself for probably the longest minutes of her life.

Arizona's heart stopped beating the minute the brunette came into her room. She looked at her waltzing inside like she owned the place. She still hadn't looked at her but Arizona couldn't take her gaze off of her. She was talking but Arizona wasn't listening. She just sat there mouth agape and eyes wide looking at the love of her life.

Once Callie finished talking she looked up at Arizona a small smile on her face and the blonde thought that her life was complete, that she could die right here without any regrets.

"Arizona?" She heard the brunette call her. She was looking at her confused not knowing what was happening to her.

It took everything Arizona had in her for the word that left her mouth making Callie gasp.

"Calliope…"

It was one of the rare nights that they both had free and against Arizona's plea to stay at home and cuddle while watching a movie, Callie dragged them to this night club.

Arizona found herself sitting at the bar drowning shot after shot while watching her girlfriend dance with some douche. He was dancing to close to her and it made Arizona's blood boil. She tried to control herself and not let her insecurities get the best of her but she failed. She could already see Callie leave her for this guy and it made her want to vomit.

She saw the man grabbed Callie butt and she was out of her stool faster than she thought possible with all the alcohol in her blood. She ran across the dance floor and grabbed the man by the shoulder before hitting him and knocking him on the ground.

"Arizona!" Callie gasped.

"What your problem, you crazy bitch?!" The man exclaimed while getting up of the floor.

"My problem is that you groped my girlfriend asshole!" Arizona said before grabbing Callie's hand and dragging her out of the night club.

Once outside Callie stopped Arizona.

"Arizona what's wrong with you? You can't go and hit people!" Callie yelled. She was also intoxicated and she didn't have any clue of what happened, only that Arizona hit some guy.

"Ehat's wrong with me? What's wrong with YOU?" Arizona yelled back. "You dance with that guy and let him grab your ass for fuck sake! If I hadn't been there you probably had gone and fuck him!"

"What? I didn't dance with him! I was dancing with you!" Callie slurred. Well it was true that she danced with her at first. But then Arizona got tired and went to grab a drink, when she turned around she saw the man dancing with Callie and decided to stay at the bar and watch them instead.

"It wasn't me Calliope, it was him." Arizona said quietly this time, understanding better at what had happened.

"Oh… oh!" It seemed to finally dawn on Callie what happened and she immediately sobered up. "I'm sorry baby, i didn't know." Callie said getting closer to Arizona. "We should've stayed at your place and cuddled."

Arizona could see that Callie felt guilty but she now understood that it was a misunderstanding. She took Callie in her arms. "It's ok you didn't know. I shouldn't have acted like that. It just like something snapped when he touched you. You're mine and no one but me can touch your butt!" Arizona said touching said butt with a smirk on her face.

Callie closed her eyes and moaned. "What do you say we go home and 'cuddle'?" Callie asked wiggling her eyebrows.

Arizona laughed before taking Callie's hand leading her home where Arizona touched her all night long.
