AN: It's weird, I personally find this story to be much more interesting, but for whatever reason my other story is much more popular. I think I like this better because of the faster pace. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Chapter 2

"...Obvious head and chest injuries," Arizona had rushed out of the ambulance and given the surgeons waiting for them the information that she could. She stepped aside to let them get to Callie, but the tears welled in her eyes as she heard Callie try and speak. They trauma team took Callie away, and then Arizona heard, "What the hell happened?" It was Mark.

"It came out of nowhere. I-I was going to ask her to marry me and it came out of nowhere," she said desperately.

Arizona and Mark were standing in the back of the trauma room. Watching on as their friends worked on Callie. Lucy Fields was able to find the fetal heartbeats, but then Callie had gone into V fib. She watched them use the pedals on her girlfriend, the love of her life, and then they rushed her into the elevator to get her to surgery. When Arizona saw that elevator close she repeated, "I was going to ask her to marry me, and it came out of nowhere."

Arizona sat in the gallery during Callie's first surgery, and she ended up crying through most of it as Alex tried to comfort her. Callie and the babies had survived this surgery, but there would need to be more surgeries, and the team couldn't come up with a plan on how to save Callie and the babies. Every option seemed to lead to either the babies dying or Callie dying, and so Arizona was asked about her opinion. She knew Callie wouldn't want to live in a world without her babies, but Mark objected. He said that Arizona had no right to be making decisions for Callie. He was still listed as Callie's emergency contact from years ago, and those babies weren't Arizona's but a sperm donors. Arizona knew Mark was upset, when he found out about she and Callie's argument, something Arizona had felt compelled to come clean about, he became even more upset with her. He blamed her. So she took it. She took him calling her nothing. Maybe he was right. She should have asked Callie to marry her a long time ago.

Even her insecurities troubled her. How could she really for a moment believe that she was nothing to Callie. She couldn't understand how she and Callie had survived so much, but now a car accident could be the end of them. How could Arizona have messed up so badly? Why did she have to let her jealousy for Mark get to her? Callie loved her, who cared if she was close to Mark? She shouldn't have thrown Callie's phone in the back. She should have told Callie to put her seatbelt back on. She should never have taken her eyes of the road, not even for a moment.

She still didn't know exactly what had happened at the scene. Apparently the other driver had fled the scene. An officer told her they suspected that a truck had hit them from behind, and then fled. He had said that the accident wasn't her fault, she wouldn't have been able to see it coming. It still didn't assuage her guilt.

So Arizona sat at Callie's bedside. She held onto her arm and she talked.

"He's right you know? I'm nothing. I mean legally. I'm no one, which is kind of crazy because I feel like your wife. I feel like our babies' mom. I should have just asked you to marry me." Arizona began to cry, but she continued through her tears, "Can you just- Can you live? Can you live? For me? Please. Live for me." She sat there for a while, holding onto Callie's wrist, when she felt Callie moving her fingers. She took that as a good sign, and for a second let herself feel some relief.

It was short lived as Callie's pressure began to bottom out. Callie was rushed into surgery. Arizona watched in the gallery, and she prayed, which was something she never did because she didn't believe, but Callie did. So Arizona continued to pray that if there was a god and He was listening then He would save Callie because Callie did believe, and their babies would be raised to believe.

Arizona watched as Callie was dying. She pressed her hand up to the glass of the gallery needing to be as close as possible, and then something made her go down to the OR. Lucy was trying to get the first baby's heart to beat, but she couldn't, Karev couldn't either. Arizona looked at Mark, and they came to a silent understanding. Arizona rushed forward and did what she does and was able to start the baby's heart. Her baby's heart. Lucy and Karev were working on her other daughter, who was even smaller than her sister. Arizona rushed to her next, and she worked and she worked, and-

After Derek told Mark and Arizona that Callie might not wake up he left them alone outside her room.

"You're not nothing," Arizona turned her head to look at Mark. Mark continued, "I was angry at you because it was easier to blame you for all of this. And I love her, she's my best friend, but- you're just not nothing. You're a mom. I'm sorry."

"She's going to wake up. She has to wake up." She said with finality. Callie had to wake up. She sat by her side, talking about their babies.

"She's really small, but she's strong, 1 pound, 1 ounce of strong. Fighting against all the complications. She's got beautiful black hair Calliope, beautiful hair, she's- she's beautiful. She can't open her eyes yet, but I can tell she's looking for you. OK?" She kept talking to Callie until she started to doze off. Her head rested on top of Callie's hand until she started to hear something.

"Ar- ari- ," Callie mumbled, her voice was raspy and she couldn't get the full name out.

"Oh my- oh my god. Callie? What?" Arizona asked urgently.

"Arizona. Where- where are my babies?" Her voice was still low and hoarse, and the words came out slowly, but they were clear and Arizona heard them. Arizona was both relieved and devastated at the same time, and she couldn't help but begin to cry.

Her eyes began to well up, and that caused Callie to become more scared, and she started to get teary eyed. Had she lost her babies?

"Um, they had to take out the babies, and our first born she's just one pound and one ounce, but she's strong. She'll be okay. I wanted to call her Sofia because you said you wanted to name our first born Sofia, but I wanted you to decide. She's got this beautiful black hair already," tears were streaming down her face when Callie interrupted her.

"And Sara?" She asked hopefully. Her voice a little stronger than before. Arizona's chest burned as she released a sob. Arizona hadn't spoken yet, but Callie's eyes began to swell with tears.

"Sara was one 1 pound. We- we tried, but we couldn't get a heart beat. I- I couldn't get her heart beat. Oh god!" she choked out, "I'm so sorry Callie!" Arizona carefully hugged Callie as she cried, and she could feel that Callie was crying too. They both stayed still, Arizona wrapped around Callie, drenching Callie's hospital gown with her own tears. She repeated that she was sorry over and over again. She began to feel Callie shaking underneath her, and Callie's vitals started to skyrocket as Callie began trying to flail her arms.

"Get off me!" She finally yelled. Her voice had become strong, and Bailey who had raced inside the room was startled by the outburst. Arizona looked like she had been struck, as she stumbled backwards. The venom in Callie's voice was palpable to everyone who suddenly surrounded them.

"You did this!" She screamed. Her anger was masking the physical pain Callie's body was going through. She had just had major surgery, including brain surgery, but she pushed her headache aside as she continued screaming at Arizona. "You! My baby is dead!" She began to wail, she could no longer form words, the sound was awful, and Callie's whole body was shaking. Bailey had to sedate her, and Arizona had to listen to Callie sob for a few more moments before the sedative took full affect.

Arizona sat quietly in Callie's room. She had put a lot more distance between them because she knew it was what Callie wanted. Arizona kept replaying the whole scene. Callie's crying, and then her anger. Arizona blamed herself for everything that happened. For the accident, and then for not being able to give their daughter Sara a heartbeat. She had known that Callie would blame her too because how could she not, but what she hadn't imagined was that Callie would actually say it out loud, that she would spit it in her face. Still it was what Arizona felt she deserved.

Arizona stuck her hand in her pocket, and she felt the cool metal against her finger tips. She fetched the engagement ring out of her pocket and held it up. This ring had meant so much to her. When she picked it out she imagined her family. Her, Calliope and their two daughters, so much love, and she wanted the rings and commitment with Callie. Now she knew things between her and Callie would never be all right, she lowered the ring and her head as silent tears fell down her face again.

Her eyes were red, and puffy, but she wasn't sure she could stop. Not only had they lost Sara, but Sofia would grow up with this. This mess she hadn't been asked to be born into.

"Stop crying," the words were bitter and cold. Arizona clutched the ring in her hand so that Callie wouldn't see. She quickly wiped at her tears with her sleeve before looking up at Callie. Callie's eyes softened a bit after that. "Um... when can I see Sofia?" her voice was soft now also.

"She's too weak to leave the NICU, and you can't go to the NICU because of infections. But I took some photos for you," Arizona dug out her phone and opened the pictures for Callie to see. Callie tried to take the phone, but couldn't grip it so Arizona held it up for her. Sofia was mostly wires and tubes, but she was still so beautiful, still so perfect. It was overwhelming. "Thank you," Callie whispered.

AN: So, I mean I don't know how sad that was for people, but thinking this all up was pretty painful for me. Hopefully no one is too disappointed with any of the reactions from people, they are dealing with grief, and in Callie's case, even a brain injury.

This story has sort of taken a detour into exploring everything they'd gone through following the death of Sara. The mystery/crime part is going to come eventually though.

Let me know what you think :)
