Arizona
My first day back at work was eventful, to say the least. The Maternal Mortality Prevention Program is in full swing and the students are showing good progress. They seem to know my cart inside out and understand its importance. I've got a decent group. Their attitudes are positive and they take lessons and observations seriously. Some even offer to help after hours. However, there does seem to be only 75% of them here... Alex must have weeded out the weak ones in my absence. I trust his judgement, so I'm fine with it.

The students observed me perform two foetal surgeries today; both treating spina bifida. Both cases were complicated in different ways, but both surgeries were successful. Healthy babies and happy parents are what makes my job all worth while.

Now, I'm walking out of the Robbins-Herman Center part of the hospital and into the paediatric ward. Paeds is such a magical profession. These sweet tiny humans full of hope and promise give you life even on your toughest of days. I miss it. I really do. But, I'm seeing such an impact by researching into foetal surgery that I couldn't possibly go back to it now.

As I wait for the elevator at the end of the corridor, I feel somebody next to me. I turn my head to look at her.

"Can we talk?" Callie says, seriously. Oh, God, this doesn't sound good.

"Is everything ok? Is Sofia alright?" I ask, worriedly.

Callie
The mention of our daughter creates a tension in my stomach. I hate that we're not a family anymore.

"Yeah, she's fine," I answer, quickly. "I actually wanted to talk about James Blake."

This takes her aback. I can see the anguish in her eyes for a split-second before she puts on a brave face.

"What about him?" She asks, casually.

"Can we go somewhere quieter?" I whisper. This really isn't a conversation I want to have at work. We get into the elevator, which is, thankfully, empty. She selects the ground floor and presses '2' for me.

"No, Callie. If you know anything about this guy, I need to know now!" She's determined. She's going to court and she needs all the information she can get her hands on. I open my mouth to try and tell her, but the information doesn't come out. We hear the elevator ding and the doors open on my floor to reveal Amelia Shepherd. Her eyes dart between Arizona and I.

"I'll talk to you later," I say before rushing past Shepherd.

Arizona
"Callie!" I shout after her but she ignores me. I stop in my tracks and groan. Why won't she tell me what she knows?

"Um... Everything okay?"

I spin around to face Amelia. I can't read her expression. Her features remain neutral.

"Callie was about to tell me something about Blake and then she totally freaked out on me," I say, releasing my frustration. "Are you alright?" I ask, genuinely interested to hear about her day.

She takes my hand, and drags me back into the elevator. She doesn't even wait for the doors to fully close before she pushes me against the back mirror and kisses me assertively. It takes me a second to react, but I've decided I'm really into elevator make out sessions with Amelia. When we hear the elevator ding once more, she pulls back and faces the doors. I try to quickly straighten my hair out. Then, I look up to see who's joining us. It's Owen. As if this couldn't get any more awkward. He nods at both of us before he speaks.

"You look a little flushed, Robbins." He says as he gets onto the elevator.

Oh, fuck. Is he onto us?

Amelia
He's totally playing her! I told him about Arizona and I a few days ago. He is my best friend, after all. It's funny to see this side of Owen. He's usually so serious, but every so often he shows a quirky side. We smirk at each other as we listen to Arizona stumble over her words.

"What? I.. uh... um... I've had a busy day," she tries at the end. I can't let her worry about it anymore. I nudge her with my elbow and give her a playful smile.

"He knows," I say, making her mouth hang open slightly in shock.

"You told him? I thought we weren't telling people yet!" That is the cutest pout I've ever seen.

"Oh? You're telling me Kepner doesn't already know?" I ask raising my eyebrow. Arizona still talks to April every other day and there's no way she hasn't mentioned this to her best friend.

"Well... I mean... she practically dragged it out of me! It has been a month..." She says, trying to find excuses.

"How was your first day back, Robbins?" Owen asks, changing the subject. The elevator dings again as we reach the ground floor and we all exit together, continuing casual conversation.

...

Callie
It's been two hours since I fled from Arizona in the hospital, and up until now I've managed to avoid her phone calls. I've finally plucked up the courage to answer one. The woman has a strong mind. She wants answers now. I sit on my couch with a glass of wine before pressing the green icon on my cell screen.

"Hello?" I say, trying to sound relaxed.

"Don't you 'hello' me... what the hell is going on?" Yep, she's pissed. Ugh, she's so cute when she's pissed. She tries so hard to be fearsome, but it just comes off as impish.

"I'm sorry," I say, earnestly. She's silent. I think my apology has surprised her. Those words rarely leave my mouth. "I wanted to tell you about Blake in the hospital, but it felt... inappropriate." I can't find the right words, but 'inappropriate' will do.

"Callie, what is it you need to tell me?" She says, barely above a whisper. I wish I could tell her in person. I wish I could hold her and make her feel safe as I deliver the information.

"He found you because of me, Arizona," I finally admit. "I guess we kind of saw this coming, but I just needed you to know." I take a deep breath before I continue. "We had dinner with him once. He asked about my ex-wife and I told him about you. He seemed impressed when he heard your name. He's a doctor, too. I think he mentioned being at a conference or something where you were a speaker." I shake my head. I'm getting too bogged down with the details. "Anyway, when he realised he had a way into your life, he just... He became obsessed with you." I put my wine glass down and rub my forehead. I feel a migraine coming on. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told him anything about you."

"You weren't to know he'd... be like this," she says, quietly. I hear her sigh out and grit my teeth in frustration. "I get why you didn't want to speak about this at the hospital."

"There's something else," I say, quickly. It needs to come out now, otherwise it's going to stay inside. "Penny's coming back to support her brother in court."
