Arizona sat up against the headboard, legs crossed, with a medical journal in her lap. She aimlessly flipped through it, looking for an interesting article to read. Callie was in the bathroom completing her usual nighttime routine. The blonde had asked a simple question about one of the brunette's surgeries and it turned into a fifteen minute, one-sided talk about her day with Dr. Greene. She liked Dr. Greene, truly. Sure, he didn't socialize much with the other attendings or pretty much anyone from the hospital outside of work, but she respected the surgeon. And she loved how enthusiastic her girlfriend was to work her him, but as of late it was all she could talk about. Although tonight, Arizona couldn't blame her since she did bring up the topic.
"…anyway, how was your day?" Callie asked, shutting off the bathroom light and rounding the bed to join her girlfriend.
"Definitely not as interesting as yours." She was tired of this conversation and tired of the magazine. She tossed it to the side and happily welcomed the younger woman in bed with open arms. Callie leaned forward to press a kiss onto plump, pink lips. Arizona held her close with a hand on the back of her neck, guiding her body into her lap. "Let's talk about something else."
"Anything you want." Understanding the hint, the brunette softened her voice and smiled as she settled on top of her girlfriend.
"Have you finished packing?" Arizona asked, soothingly running her hands up and down the naked tan thighs that were next to her. She was pleased with the sleep outfit Callie settled on tonight, an oversized t-shirt that covered her black cotton panties. The shirt bunched up around the brunette's waist given their new position and Arizona was grateful to see even more of her lover's exposed skin.
With a little pout, Callie reluctantly replied, "No, and don't remind me that I'm leaving you."
"Trust me, I'm not thrilled either, but you leave in two days." Their compromise had worked for the last month. A few extra lunches together and more talks on the phone at night when they were apart. Now they were getting ready to spend their holiday apart.
"Should I go pack now?"
"Absolutely not." Arizona squeezed each thigh to keep her close, "Your mine now."
"Mhmm, I like that." Locking their lips together, the blonde was the first one to drop her mouth and invite her lover's tongue in. She immediately sucked on it as they continued their sensual kiss. No doubt that each of their libidos were growing slowly within them. Tan arms circled the neck of the women under her, bringing her close and deepening the kiss. Arizona's hands gripped Callie's hips before sneaking down to cup her ass. They tilted their heads to change the angle of the kiss, but didn't let up on the passion as they continue to devour each other's mouths. "I really love you, you know that?" Nearly gasping for air, Callie was winded after that kiss.
Arizona smugly smirked, "I do, and I really love you too, baby." Grinning, the taller woman leaned in for another searing kiss and slowly began rolling her hips into her lover's lap. Arizona grabbed the bottom of her shirt to take it off the brunette, breaking their kiss for another brief moment.
"I am one lucky woman." She bit down on a pink lip staring at the naked tan chest in front of her. With Callie in her lap, her chest was nearly eye level to her and Arizona couldn't be more grateful. Her face lit up like a Christmas tree as her eyes drank in the beautiful sight that is Calliope's full, rounded breasts. Her nipples already hardened, much to the delight of the blonde. She ran her thumbs over each nipple and watched Callie melt into her touch. With one hand supporting her back, Arizona leaned in to run her tongue over her lover's left areola, using her free hand to squeeze and caress her right breast.
"Feels so good, Arizona." Callie moaned, her hands weaving their way into blonde hair. Pink lips latched onto a mocha nipple and sucked it into her mouth, earning several heavy groans. Her tongue rapidly flicking over the hardened peak before switching to swirling motions and finally releasing it with a loud pop. She continued to nip and lick her away across the chest in front of her, replacing her hand with her mouth on the other firm breast. Both hands went to Callie's back and she used them to pull Callie's body, particularly her right breast, deeper into her mouth.
Leaning forward, Callie pushed their bodies back against the headboard. She sat up on her knees to pull an unwanted garment off the blonde and tossing it aside leaving them both naked from the waist up. Giving her ass a light smack, Arizona pulled Callie back down into her lap by the back of her thighs. "You can't get away that easy."
"I wasn't planning on it." She flirted into the blonde's left ear. Calliope grabbed one of her hands and guided down to her heated core, her panties damp with her arousal. "You like that?" She knew how hot it made the blonde knowing she got her worked up like this. Arizona would admit it was a power trip to know she could make Callie so aroused. Arizona smugly chuckled in response, of course loved it. One thing is for certain, Arizona Robbins is a women pleaser, and a damn good one at that.
"How in the hell do you still have these on?" Dipping a hand inside the cotton material, Arizona bypassed dark curls to tease her wet slit with one finger.
"Please." The dark-haired woman whimpered, "Baby please…just…"
With one touch, more arousal came flowing out of the brunette who was having a hard time controlling her breathing. As their lips reconnected in a sloppy kiss, Arizona removed her hand from Callie's underwear.
"Just give me a sec, baby." She said before any protest. It's been a while since she's done this, but it's definitely a move in her bag of tricks. She used both hands to make a clean rip right down the middle of the brunette's underwear. "God, I really hope you didn't like those." Another item tossed into the pile of clothes on the floor. She put her hand back where it was before, now fully free of obstruction, and slide two fingers inside of Callie. Her hips bucked at the welcome intrusion. "Tell me what you want."
"Just like that." Callie mumbled out in pleasure. She withdrew halfway before thrusting her fingers back inside, harder. "Fuuck…" Arizona knew she had her now. Callie held onto the blonde as two fingers continued to plunge deep within her slick depths. They soon found a rhythm with Callie's hip rolls and Arizona's thrusts. She circled an arm around her lover's waist to hold her close.
"Do you know how good you feel, Calliope?" She brought her mouth up to her right ear, "Being this close to you, this deep inside you is my favorite feeling in the whole world." Her two fingers never stopped moving within her, twisting and curling at just the right spots. Callie could barely contain the moan she let out when pressure was applied to her clit.
"There, there - yes, oh yess!" Arizona could feel inner walls tighten around her fingers as she continued to move within her. It didn't take too much longer for Callie to reach her peak and come undone in her lover's lap. She slumped on Arizona's chest before rolling off and laying on her back, "That was kind of unexpected, but greatly appreciated."
"I'm glad…" Arizona moved to hover over her girlfriend, "…but I'm not done." The brunette smiled into the another kiss from the woman above her.
"Question."
"Hmmm?" The blonde hummed as she continue to kiss down Callie's body. First her neck, then her chest, down to her stomach. Tan legs fell open on their own ass blonde hair tickled her skin when Arizona kept moving lower and lower.
"How many times have you ripped underwear off women?" She wasn't jealous, well maybe a little, but mostly she was curious. Arizona stopped her kisses and looked up to stare into lusty, brown eyes.
"The only number you need to be thinking about right now is the number of times I'm about you make you come with my tongue."
Teddy eagerly intercepted Arizona's coffee cup before the pediatric surgeon could finish the last sip of her coffee, "Hey!"
The cardiac doctor simply shrugged, "Sorry, I need it more than you. This morning has been unbelievable." She drank the rest of the hot liquid before tossing the empty cup in the nearby trash can. "Walk with me." The two doctors headed towards the nurses station in the main lobby.
"What happened?"
"A church bus crashed carrying five people. Mostly everyone is stable now except the driver. He's still in surgery. Actually, last time I checked the board, Callie was with Dr. Greene working on him."
"Ahh, so that's why my bed went cold around 4:15 this morning. All I felt was a goodbye kiss on the cheek before I went back to dreamland."
"Lucky you." They arrived at the nurses station and Teddy finished inputting some information into a tablet. "So what's the plan for tomorrow? Should I bring something?" They question hung in the air for a few seconds before they both laughed in unison, "You're right, I'll just pick up some dessert on the way over."
"It's cute that you offered to cook though." Arizona smiled. "I got it handled, just bring your appetite." Teddy was about to respond, but a loud shriek caught their attention.
"No, no, no. He can't be gone. Please, no." A middle-aged African-American woman broke down in tears in front of Callie and Dr. Greene.
"The surgery was going well until the end. We tried everything we could." Arizona overheard her girlfriend give confronting remarks, but it was doing nothing to the woman receiving the horrible news. She shook her head and held a hand up, silently asking for Callie to stop talking and walked away with the assistance of another person. Arizona could tell her girlfriend was on the brink of tears.
"Is that?" Arizona asked Teddy, she knew the answer but needed to hear confirmation.
"Yeah, that's the driver's wife and brother." They watched as Dr. Greene spoke softly to the young resident. Nothing could be heard, but it was clear the brunette was taking whatever was being said very personally.
"I need to talk to her." The blonde took a step forward, but was quickly stopped by her best friend.
"Give it a second. You can't swoop in and be the caring girlfriend right now." Yes, it would look unprofessional if Arizona marched over there and pulled Callie away, but that's exactly what she felt like doing. She hated to see her girlfriend look so sad.
"DR. GREENE." Dr. Bailey broke the tension in the room with her arrival, "Attending's lounge. Now." The short woman pointed at the older doctor. A flustered orthopedic surgeon gave his resident a pat on the shoulder and then straightened his white coat as he took off for the lounge. Missing Arizona's gaze, Callie turned around and headed down another hallway.
Arizona was curious to find out what was going on before she walked away. "Bailey, what happened?"
"This doesn't concern you, Robbins." Bailey gave the blonde a pointed look for a few seconds before softening her attitude thanks to a head nod from Teddy. "Dr. Greene's patient died and it could've been prevented if he stepped in sooner to help Dr. Torres. He's getting too comfortable letting her in some of his surgeries and she's not ready yet. I was in the gallery, half way through he gave Dr. Torres the go-ahead to finish the procedure. This wasn't a clean break, the patients leg was severely messed up. Torres was asking all the right questions, but she needed to be watching and learning instead of working. Next thing I know bells and alarms are going off, Dr. Greene finally jumps in, but it was too late. I think it could've been prevented if he stepped in sooner. Worst thing is, he's making Torres take the fall for it. That woman lost her husband the day before Thanksgiving." She left it at that as she went to follow Dr. Greene down the hallway.
"That fucking prick." Arizona mumbled to herself before turning to Teddy, "She's never lost a patient before."
"Really?"
"No, we've talked about. The ortho death rate is low, and she only been assisting on some of easier surgeries. Mostly she's been observing and in the skills lab day and night. I need to find her." She took off in the same direction to look for her girlfriend. Dodging nurses, technicians, and other doctors, Arizona checked every on call room she passed. All were empty except for the fourth one. She heard light sobs on the outside, "Callie, it's me." The crying stopped for a few seconds and Arizona quickly went inside. As soon as the door was closed behind her Callie looked up with red, watery eyes. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry." More tears flowed as the brunette just put her head back down into her hands. Arizona sat beside her on the small bed and pulled her girlfriend into her embrace.
"I-I-I don't know what happened…he just died, Arizona." Her breath was shaking as she recalls the details of what happened, but right now that doesn't matter to me. "I thought I was doing everything right, Dr. Greene was right there."
"I'm sorry, Calliope. So, sorry." Unfortunately this was a moment Arizona had been reluctantly waiting for. A patients death is never easy, and the first one you experience at your own hands as a doctor is especially tough. "You'll get through this, I promise." Their private moment was interrupted by the blaring sound of Arizona's pager, "Shit."
Lifting herself out of the comfortable embrace, Callie began to fix her appearance, "It's okay, go. The kids need you."
"I'll come find you afterwards." Arizona stood up, "I love you."
"I love you too."
"It's easy to start doubting yourself, but you can't do that. This is the worst part of the job, but I know you. I know you did everything you could." The brunette weakly smiled in response as the blonde's pager went off again. As much as she didn't want to leave right now she knew she had to.
"You were great in there, Robbins." Karev excitedly exclaimed as they walked out of the scrub room together. After getting paged, both doctors had been going nonstop for hours. Arizona only had a brief moment to call her sitter between surgeries to ask her to stay with Sofia for a little while longer. "I see why they pay you the big bucks."
"You're on your way, Alex if you keep it up. You were great in there too. I'm seeing you tomorrow, right?"
"Free food, of course." Arizona saw Bailey coming down the hall and quickly excused herself from the resident.
"Great, see you later Alex. Bailey, do you have a sec?" She jogged to catch up with the older doctor who wasn't stopping for the blonde to catch up.
"Walk and talk, Robbins. I've got one more surgery before I can to go home."
"I just want to know how—"
"Ah, ah, let me stop you now. You know I can't tell you anything about what I said to Dr. Greene." Bailey was in no mood for this conversation and truthfully Arizona had nothing to do with it. She wasn't in the operating room and it didn't involve any of her patients. "Before you continue ask yourself why you really want to know. Is it because of your personal relationship with Dr. Torres or do you truly care about what happened on that operating table? I think we both know the true answer to that question. Have a great holiday, Robbins." Bailey continued her stride down the hallway.
Arizona walked to the nearest elevator and pulled out her cell phone. As she scrolled for Callie's name to shoot her a text, the elevator doors opened and off came Dr. Greene. She thought about saying something, but shook it off. Pushing the button for the lobby, she started to type out a message but stuffed her phone back in her pocket and stuck her arm out to stop the doors for closing.
"Doctor, do you a minute to talk?" Arizona asked as she walked off the elevator. He gave her a polite nod. The blonde didn't know exactly what she was going to say, but she had to come up with something quick, "What can I help you with, Dr. Robbins?"
