"Dr. Sloan" Stacy grinned at her friend in the trauma unit.
"Dr. Brown" Sofia grinned. "Good morning"
"Someone is happy" Stacy commented at the grin on her friends face.
"Yeah... me and mum had a chat last night... I think you might be right... I think she might still be in love with mama too" Sofia confided.
"Awesome... in that case we definitely need to play matchmaker" Stacy grinned.
"I agree, but we need to be subtle. They are both stubborn and if they catch wind of what we're doing they will shut it down and we will find our selves up shit's creek... are you still in?" Sofia grinned when Stacy nodded eagerly.
"Maybe we could go out for dinner tonight and discuss strategies" Stacy asked nervously as she eyed her friend hopefully.
"Yeah sure" Sofia grinned before her pager went off and she dashed away leaving behind a crestfallen Stacy.
-oOo-
"Dr. Brown" Arizona smiled at her daughter's friend as she welcomed her into her unit.
"Dr. Robbins, I'm on your service today" Stacy smiled warmly.
"Super... are you ready to work with the tiny humans?" Arizona smirked.
"Can I just say... it's really cute how you and Sofia call them tiny humans" Stacy grinned as she followed the blonde chief of peds.
"That's what they are... tiny humans" Arizona laughed as she entered the first ward to start her rounds. The blonde doctor paying acute attention to how the young doctor handled herself around the tiny humans and the tiny human makers. She was impressed at the way she was handling herself and treating the patients, the detail of her analysis. Three hours passed in the blink of an eye as they completed their rounds and Arizona offered to buy the intern a coffee during a quick break.
"Arizona, can I ask you something in confidence?" Stacy asked nervously, instantly peaking Arizona's attention as the young woman glanced around to make sure they weren't at risk of being overheard.
"Sure, is everything ok?" Arizona asked with worry.
"I was just wondering, well... you know that your Sofia's mother... well one of her mother's?" Stacy asked as she rubbed her palms nervously on her scrubs to get rid of the moisture that was quickly building there.
"Yes, I am aware of that" Arizona smirked as the younger woman squirmed opposite her.
"I was just wondering... I mean... well see there is someone that I like, but I don't know whether she likes girls too... how do you know if she's like us" Stacy asked as she motioned between the two of them, and making it perfectly clear to the Chief of Ped's that she identified as a lesbian and what she was asking her.
"Oh umm... I guess sometimes it's easy to tell, sometimes it's hard. I guess you just have to look for the signals, and if your still unsure, you may just have to take a leap of faith and ask the question" Arizona confided with a smile.
"Ok... but what if your in the friend zone, so the signals could be mistaken as just being friendly" Stacy blushed at having this conversation with Sofia's mom… and her boss.
"Then you just have to ask her, or bring up the conversation that will bring the answer out" Arizona laughed softly.
"Ok... and what if you work with that person and asking them could be really really awkward if they aren't gay" Stacy grimaced as she glanced around one more time, half to make sure no one was listening and half as an excuse to not look the blonde in the eyes.
"So it's someone in the hospital? Tell me who and I will use my incredible lesbinary skills work it out for you" Arizona offered with a smirk.
"Oh no, I can't tell you who it is, that would just be weird and way too awkward" Stacy laughed nervously before her eyes widened in realization of what she had given away and she gulped as the heat in her cheeks exploded.
"Weird? Why would it be weird?... Oh" Arizona's eyes widened. "oh...you like Sofia?" Arizona gulped.
"Shh... Jesus" Stacy grimaced as she glanced around her to make sure nobody was listening nervously.
"It's true then? The rumors... You like Sofia?" Arizona smirked triumphantly.
"Oh my god there are rumors? I'm so embarrassed right now" Stacy lowered her head on the table to hide her blush.
"Well to answer your question, I really don't know. We never really raised her to feel the need to put a label on herself or have to announce which sexuality she identified with... and she has never introduced any boyfriends or girlfriends to us... I mean I could always try and find out" Arizona offered nervously.
"God no... I cant ask you to do that! Please don't ask her!" Stacy frowned.
"You like my baby" Arizona sung with a smirk.
"Please, please stop" Stacy lowered her head to the table again and tried to hide under her arms.
"You want to kiss her" Arizona sang with a grin, enjoying tormenting the younger woman.
"Oh God... stop! right now, just stop please" Stacy groaned.
"You do, don't you... you want to kiss Sof" Arizona grinned triumphantly as she leaned forward and whispered the last part with a cheeky grin.
"I'm literally dying right now… please God let a sink hole open up beneath me right now" Stacy groaned.
"Come on Dr. Brown, the tiny humans need us" Arizona smirked as the intern jumped from her seat eagerly to remove herself from the mortally embarrassing conversation she had found herself in.
-oOo-
"Dr. Robbins" Sofia grinned at her mother as the blonde rounded a curtain into the cubicle she was in.
"You paged Dr Sloan?" Arizona grinned at how grown up her daughter looked in her scrubs, white coat and stethoscope.
"I have a five year old that was just admitted, she fell from the roof of a single story house, possible broken femurs and hips, potential internal injuries and bleed" Sofia announced.
"Ok... and what are we doing about that Dr. Sloan?" Arizona asked as she grabbed the chart and began to read the girls stats and notes.
"I have ordered a CT, X-rays and have paged for an ortho consult" Sofia said nervously as her mother nodded.
"Hello sweetie, what happened to you huh?" Arizona asked as she grinned at the little girl who was sobbing in the bed and clutching her fathers hand tightly.
"I fell" The little girl announced with a pout as big tears rolled down her face.
"You fell... well that's no good is it sweetheart" Arizona cooed before smiling at her daughter before she began checking over the young girl and giving her a physical exam of her own.
"Someone paged for ortho?" Callie asked as she rounded the curtain to find Arizona and Sofia in the cubicle attending to a little girl.
"Dr. Torres" Sofia smirked at how the Gods were smiling at her by putting both of her mothers on the same case.
"Good morning Dr. Sloan" Callie grinned. "Dr. Robbins" Callie smiled politely.
"Dr Torres, it's nice to page ortho and have the godess respond again" Arizona grinned happily at seeing the Latina again.
"Alright... now we have all said hello to each other…" Sofia scoffed at how sickeningly sweet a family moment this was. "Dr Torres it appears that Sophia here, has two broken femurs and possible hip fractures and I'm awaiting on the portable x-ray machine to arrive to confirm if there are any other breaks" Sofia announced.
"Sophia, that's a beautiful name" Callie gushed as she checked the little girls legs, noticing how the little girl was sobbing and clinging onto Arizona's hand and not her fathers. "you know Sophia, that's the same as my little girls name, and I'm not sure who is more beautiful you or her" Callie smiled when the little girl grinned at her.
"Really?" Sophia asked shyly.
"Really" Callie grinned as she applied a light pressure to the little girls hips and watched as she flinched and started crying again as she tightened onto the hold she had of Arizona's hand.
"Do you want to know a secret?" Callie asked trying to distract the girl who nodded through her tears.
"You see this pretty doctor here" Callie nodded over her shoulder and watched as the little girl glanced behind her at Sofia who blushed slightly at the attention she was being given.
"That's my beautiful daughter" Callie grinned as the little girl eyed Sofia who smiled back at the little girl, loving watching how doting both of her mothers were on this tiny human, it was clear that they both had a soft side for kids who had been brought in.
"Really?" Sophia asked with surprise.
"Uh huh" Callie nodded.
"She's pretty" Sophia grinned.
"I know" Callie smirked as she glanced at her daughter who was grinning.
"Ok sweetie, I know this sucks but I'm going to have to take you for a surgery... but if you be a big brave girl I will give you a really cool cast on your legs in whatever color you want" Callie promised to the nervous girl.
"Pink?" Sophia asked.
"You know, when Dr. Sloan was little, her favorite color was pink too" Callie whispered. "I'll see you really soon ok sweetheart?" Callie soothed as she nodded for Sofia to follow her.
The two doctors moved out of hearing as Callie informed her daughter of what preparations she needed doing prior to surgery and told her to scrub in, she grinned when her daughter beamed excitedly and rushed off to get to work.
"Dr. Robbins. I will see you in the OR?" Callie asked and waited for a nod of confirmation.
-oOo-
"Dr. Sloan, good of you to finally join us" Callie grinned at her daughter as she entered the OR all scrubbed in for the first time.
"Sorry I'm late Dr. Torres, I had an emergency with another patient" Sofia apologized nervously.
"That's ok, we were just about to get started" Callie motioned with her head to get her daughter to come over to the table.
"Good afternoon Doctors" Arizona grinned as she strolled happily into the OR, grinning proudly when she saw her daughter ready for her first surgery.
"Dr. Robbins, what are you doing here?" Sofia asked nervously as she eyed her Mama.
"It's a peds case, Dr. Torres asked me to assist" Arizona announced as she checked over the stat's on the monitor and the clipboard and nodded to Callie that everything was good to proceed.
"Ok, let's get started" Callie announced as she prodded at the tiny legs until she found the spot where the left femur was broken and snapped it back into place. She glanced at her daughter who looked to have paled as her eyes widened in horror at the sound that echoed through the operating room.
"Dr. Sloan, are you going to assist or are you going to just stand there" Callie asked and awaited a response. "Dr. Sloan" Callie reiterated. When there was still silence she glanced at Arizona and motioned for her to go and see to Sofia.
"Dr. Sloan" Arizona clicked her fingers until Sofia looked up at her. "time to be a rock star and help fix a broken tiny human" Arizona smiled as Sofia nodded and moved hesitantly towards the table.
"Would you like to reset a broken femur Dr. Sloan?" Callie asked as she glanced at the intern who was shaking her head nervously, she reached out and grabbed her daughters hand and pulled her towards her regardless, moving her trembling hands to the little girls right leg and the approximate location of the break.
"You feel that?" Callie asked as she guided her daughters hands over the leg to the broken femur and waited for her daughter to nod. "ok now what were going to do, is put our hands just like this" Callie said as she positioned her daughters hands into the right position. "Do you know why we're holding it like this Dr. Sloan?" Callie asked, nodding proudly after Sofia stuttered her correct answer. "Ok now we have to be firm, but careful. We want to move the bone back into place, but not pull it too far that it pushes through it's natural point and breaks the bone any further" Callie guided her.
"Mom I can't" Sofia whispered to her mom. "I'm sorry mom I can't"
"You can baby, you're a rock star, just close your eyes, take a deep breath, count to three and pull. And if you mess it up, we can fix it, but I trust you, you've got this baby girl" Callie whispered back and hoped that the anesthetist and scrub nurses weren't paying too much attention to their private conversation.
Sofia nodded nervously but did as her mother told her too, she closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath as she counted to three mentally and yanked, the crunch echoing through the OR.
"Perfect first time" Callie grinned, winking at her daughter whose eyes were giving away the beaming grin that was hidden beneath her mask.
"Holy shit, that was amazing" Sofia whispered, her voice full of amazement.
"Hell yeah it was, rock star" Arizona grinned at her daughter proudly, her heart beating out of her chest with pride as she watched her daughter being guided by her brunette mother.
"I need to do that again" Sofia whispered as she stepped back to let her mother take over who was beaming at her excitement towards her specialty.
"Oh you liked that?" Callie grinned. "Wait till you see this then" Callie announced as she climbed onto the table and grabbed the tiny hips, feeling around until her hands were in the right position before she quickly snapped her pelvis and hips back into place.
"Yeah?" Callie asked as she glanced at her daughter who was mesmerized as she watched her mother work for the first time.
"You're a rock star mum" Sofia grinned.
"I told you... she's awesome" Arizona laughed as she watched the two women interact.
"Ok, she is stable, over to you Dr. Robbins" Callie grinned feeling on top of the world as she moved off to grab the cast cart as she started preparing both legs for the cast as well as her wrist that had sustained a small fracture.
"Dr. Sloan, come on" Arizona grinned as she grabbed the scalpel from her favorite scrub nurse and handed it to her daughter proudly.
"You ready?" Arizona smirked when her daughter nodded nervously.
"Dr. Sloan, can you make the first incision please" Arizona almost swooned. "Don't be shy, you need to press harder" Arizona guided as she watched her daughter, glancing at Callie and seeing the tears in the brunettes eyes, she couldn't help but wink at her ex-wife as a tear rolled down her own face. Several minutes later, and with wide eyes, Sofia had opened up the girls abdomen where the internal bleeding was. She gasped in wonder as she looked inside the little girls body.
"Very good Dr. Sloan" Arizona beamed at her daughter. "Ok now tell me what we are looking at here" Arizona asked.
"There is a slight tear in the stomach lining, and it looks like there is a small fracture missing from the pelvis" Sofia asked and glanced to her mother who nodded.
"Very good Dr. Sloan. So what is the procedure?" Arizona asked proudly.
"Well the tear is small and the bleeding is minuscule, so I would clamp the bleed to stabilize it, then I would search for the chip fragment that caused the tear, and once that has been located, I would repair the tear, and providing there is no more bleeding, I would close her up" Sofia said nervously.
"Very good Dr. Sloan... well what are you waiting for?" Arizona grinned as she glanced back at Callie who was watching them work with pride shining brightly in her eyes.
"You want me to..." Sofia gasped.
"You're here to learn aren't you Dr. Sloan, this is a learning facility and you are an intern aren't you?" Arizona smirked as she watched her daughter eagerly ask for a clamp. Sofia moved almost confidently as she walked through the steps mentally, clamping around the tear and searching for the bone fragment, when she found a shard she looked for the missing section in the pelvis and checked to see if it matched.
"Very good baby" Arizona grinned as she watched her daughter work. Confident that the shard was the right size and shape, Sofia grabbed a suture kit and began to repair the tear before removing the clamp and asking for suction before checking for any further bleeds. Confident that she had fixed the problem she glanced at her mother who nodded her approval.
"Seal her up" Arizona ordered.
"Are... are you sure mama, can you check first?" Sofia asked nervously.
Arizona nodded and inspected the area to appease her daughter despite having watched her every move intently so she would never forget it. "it looks perfect Dr. Sloan, I couldn't have done it better myself. very good work. Now how about you close her up and we can get this tiny human back to her tiny human maker" Arizona grinned proudly.
Sofia nodded and grabbed a different suture kit and began to expertly stitch the incision up. Callie had been teaching her from a young age how to suture and so Arizona had full faith in her daughter's abilities, and as she stood back and watched, she knew that Mark would be watching proudly at the technical ability his daughter was showing she definitely had the skills an plastics god would need.
"Holy shit that was amazing" Sofia grinned from the sink as a mother stood on either side of her scrubbing out.
"You did amazing baby" Arizona gushed.
"You were incredible Sof" Callie grinned.
"And those sutures... shit your dad will be grinning right now as he watches you, you would make an amazing plastic surgeon with that technical ability" Arizona grinned.
"Or ortho... did you see the way she pulled that femur back into place first go" Callie swooned.
"I know, it was amazing" Arizona grinned as she wiped her hands dry before turning to envelope her daughter in her arms. "Third best day of my life" Arizona glowed.
"Third?" Sofia grinned as she felt her mums hand rubbing her back supportively.
"Yeah the third, nothing will beat the day you were born, even though you scared the crap out of me at the time" Arizona smirked.
"What was second?" Sofia asked curiously.
"Huh?" Arizona asked confused despite the question being a simple one.
"You said the third best day and first was the day I was born... so what was the second best?" Sofia asked pulling back and watching as her mama became shy.
"The day I married my soulmate and best friend was second" Arizona announced sadly as she kissed her daughter's cheek before leaving the scrub room. Callie watched her ex-wife leave with a sad smile.
"Mom, go and talk to her" Sofia prodded softly.
"Sofia don't" Callie chided her before wrapping her in a tight hug. "I have never been prouder of you than I am right now baby, you're amazing and your going to be an incredible surgeon" Callie grinned lovingly.
"So tell me" Sofia asked as she linked arms with her mum and they left the scrub room "Why exactly was Mama in there?, there are so many other surgeons who could have been there without requiring the head of ped's" Sofia watched as her mum frowned.
"I didn't want her to miss out on your first surgery, did you see her face? She was so, so proud of you baby. I'm so, so proud of you. That was amazing" Callie smiled.
"Thank you... it meant so much to me that my first ever surgery was with both of you... I mean, I just reset a femur with my mom and opened up a little girl and fixed an internal bleed with my mama... it was amazing mum, the best" Sofia grinned.
"My pleasure baby. Now scoot, get back to work Dr. Sloan, that little girl needs to head to post op and page me if there are any issues" Callie grinned as she watched her daughter skip away.
-oOo-
"Dr. Robbins" Callie smiled as she approached her ex-wife who was sat at the nurse's station filling out a chart.
"Dr. Torres" Arizona smiled warmly as she saw the brunette walk towards her.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but was that not the single most incredible surgery you have ever done?" Callie grinned as she stopped besides Arizona, turning around and leaning her elbows against the nurses station.
"Oh your not wrong" Arizona smirked sadly.
"Hey, what is it?" Callie asked worriedly.
"Nothing... I just... That was amazing, the best... I never thought I would get to see her do that, and did you see her, she's a natural, she is going to make an incredible surgeon whatever specialty she chooses" Arizona grinned.
"She was... so amazing" Callie grinned. "anyways Dr. Robbins, patients to see, interns to boss around, I will catch you later" Callie smiled when Arizona nodded her understanding before walking away.
