Hello! Well, this chapter is a little long. But I couldn't cut it shorter. All Callie here. The medical stuff that I wrote, I took it from a page in internet. Have no idea what I am talking about, probably all wrong haha. It isn't important... I don't think you care about it either, so. The point is for Callie to think about staying longer than she thought.

Please review, guys! Thanks for those who had.

Chapter 3

It was around 10 am when Callie's stomach started growling, she got up, went to the kitchen and made some breakfast. The house was empty. Doctors were working, kids at school or daycare. She seated in the kitchen island with her cup of coffee enjoying herself when her phone buzzed.

Morning to you! I'm at lunch time. Hope you're having a good time. Love You-P

Just got up of bed! Ha! About to head to the hospital. Call me tonight when you're free. Love You-C-

She is going to visit her friends today, see her old ward and how her old patients were doing.

She texted back and started to write another one to Arizona.

Morning! How was Sofia last night? Was she any trouble? -C

Hi! Not at all! She was in her best mood. We're still lying in bed - A

Last night, Arizona and Sofia stayed till late watching movies and eating all kind of crappy food. The blonde has taken the rest of the week off to be with her child. They slept in Arizona's big bed just for last night and, since they have woken up they were having breakfast in bed while watching some TV and catching up when Arizona got the texted from Callie.

Is it Mama? - Sofia asked looking at the phone's screen.

Yep. - Arizona said and texted back.

Let's take a selfie with breakfast and all for mama! -Little Sofia said and her mommy did as she was told.

When Callie opened the new text and saw the picture she couldn't resist to smile big. Look at these girls, all tousled and looking gorgeous like that. – They looked so happy together. She misses that. She can't help but wishing to be there with them. Not like in bed with Arizona- She said this out loud trying to convince herself when someone brought her back to earth.

Are you talking alone? About sex? – Amelia said smiling at the brunette who got all red.

Callie jumped off of the stool.

You scared me! - She said going to the other brunette- What are you doing here?

Came by for some things. Are you gonna say hello? - Amelia said when Callie was already about to hug her.

How have you been! - Callie asked happy to see the neuro surgeon.

Good! I might have miss you and all- the shorter woman said while adding- Not as much as you miss having sex with Arizona but, still.

I didn't say that! -Callie defend herself. - I just… Look at this! – An she showed her friend the picture. - Aren't they cute?

Yes. Lot of cuteness in one pic. Not sure if I should ask how things with Penny are…

We are good, Amelia! Don't be like that!

I am just messing with you. You're fine then?

Yeah, we are. You know…We are fine. She is… Penny... We are great! - Callie finally stopped rambling and smile.

Wow! Stop being so deeply in love and spreading all your happiness in people face! - Shepherd said laughing.

Shut up. I am heading to the hospital, you are going there too?

Yes. Just let me take some things and I'll join you.

Haven't move out completely yet?

No! But almost. Didn't think I have that much things. - Amelia said and went for her things.

At Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital

As soon as she got to GSMHshe went to her old ward. With every step she made, someone said Hi! And Hey! And good to see you! There were some of them who even hugged her. She felt so melancholic. These place was so warm compare to NY. And it wasn´t that much time she hasn´t been around but for her it seems like years.

Dr. Torres! – Jo called her as soon as she saw her old mentor.

Wilson! Nice to see you! - She said- How things are going on here?

You wanna know about Carlson running your apartment right? - Jo said smirking- It is OK. Things are going good. - Jo answered

And you? Already make your mind about your specialty?

I think I did. I miss seeing you in action, tho. You made it more interesting.

Well, thank you and I am sorry? - Callie says with a sheepish smile.

Yeah…- Jo replies smiling sadly.

Torres! – Dr. Webber was coming from the elevator. Callie turns around to face the voice and felt kind of awkward when she saw who it was. After the trial they hadn't talked. Richard has always been an important figure to her, to everyone in the hospital. And she knew he was probably disappointed of her. That make her sad to say the least.

Hi, Dr. Webber- The brunette said looking the guy in the eyes trying to figure it out if he was mad at her or something.

How have you been? Have you checked the place around- The man said smiling friendly.

Yeah, I miss it.

Well, is good to see you here. And I was actually hoping we can talk about a case so if you are interested let me know when you finish.

I am! We can do it now if you can.

Ok. Come with me. Wilson, get back to work.

But I am on that case too – Jo said frowning.

We call you if we need you.

They went to Callie's old office, now it belongs to Carlson. He was the chief and he was the lead surgeon on the case.

Hey, Dr. Carlson!- Callie said seeing how different her office looked. She felt that sadness again.

Dr. Torres! Hello! Wow! It is so good to see you!

Thank you, you too.

Take a sit please. I have been wanting to call you for this case, but Dr. Robbins told me you were coming so I though was better in person. The patience is a 65-year-old, female, she has Familial Hypophosphatasia. Now she presents with hip pain, shepherds crook deformity of the proximal right femur and the nail has cut out of the trochanteric region. She is terrified of having a hip replacement because one of her sister with the same disease had three and it didn't work. - He explained to her and showed the x ray. Callie analyzed them and looked at Webber.

Does she have any other pathology?

Oh, no. She was a patience of mine almost 10 years ago and that is when I noticed something more and Dr. Chang diagnosed her with Hypophosphatasia. I just wanted to be involved.

Alright. – She kept looking.

What do you suggest, Dr. Torres? Because if this were a simple situation I'll just go for sub-trochanteric osteotomy to realign the femoral neck, then fixation with a plate. But-

It would be unlikely she heals after, unless the fixation is total bone contact, intramedullary. -Callie completed what Carlson was about to say.

Exactly.

Well, I am considering Dome Sub Trochanteric Osteotomy. And exchange nailing. What you thing?

We´ll have to try. You think you might be able to scrub in an assist me in there?

Callie felt so good being wanted in the OR. Working one more time in Grey Sloan with her former fellow, feels so good. But she didn't ´t have an answer. The surgery was after Christmas which means she will have to stay. And that wasn´t an option. Was it?

Later at Meredith´s house

Callie has told the doctors she has to go back to New York and wouldn´t be able to scrub in. Now she was in Mer´s kitchen cooking for her friends, as she had promised she'll do. Everyone was around the kitchen island joking and chatting. It was so much fun. She hasn´t made any friend, not like this kind of friendship, in NY. It was normal, tho, she just moved there. She was enjoying this moment a lot.

So I just give him a tons of charts as punishment- Maggie was talking about some stupid thing one of her interns have done today.

I always give them charts to do. Who cares if they did something wrong or not- Meredith said.

Medusaaa- Callie called her laughing.

So funny. So Callie, tell us about New York! Is that excited as they say it is?

Amazing city. Full of things to do.

You having a good time then- Alex said

Yeah, I mean, I miss being here with you guys, definitely, but yeah, I like it there.

You can always come back- Bailey said- Not that you´ll have a job if you decided to, but you can always come back.

That way you can be in bed with you know who- Amelia said teasing her friend about earlier.

Seriously, Shepherd? – Callie said

What is she talking about? - Alex said- Dude, you just came here you already got into somebody pants?

No! And I am in a relationship, Karev. She is just joking- Callie gave Amelia a face.

They had dinner, talked about all kind of things, specially Callie´s life in New York, who tried to sound as much excited as she could about her new home. Later everyone went home. Meredith offer Callie to go to her room to do another Tequila round.

I won´t keep drinking. Have date court tomorrow. - Callie said while Meredith drink the tequila alone while they both were lying in bed.

Oh! Right. And I have to watch over Sofia. I should stop too- She said smirking. Sofia was spending the day with Zola tomorrow so Arizona and Callie could do the arraignment.

How are things Callie? And I am really asking- Meredith said looking straight to Callie´s brown eyes.

I am fine. Really. Is difficult sometimes, but we are adapting.

And Penny?

I just… We are good, you know? Everything is fine. We both work all day so we see each other at dinner and weekends when we´re free. As we did here. But it just… you know. Easy and simple. I don´t know. I am totally rambling here, I am sorry.

It gets boring? - Meredith suggest- You said sex was mind blowing or something like it- Meredith said smirking

It is! Sex is great. Totally great, yeah, I mean, we are really good at what we do- Callie said with a sexy smile.

But It´s not about the sex, right? It's about that moment afterward...- Meredith said with a knot in the throats remembering her life with Derek.

It is. - Callie said realizing what Meredith was talking about. - I was so excited about my new relationship. Everything was new and fun and you know… No history behind. And now I just feel, like everything is good but something is... I just… I am content. That is the word. Content. And I wanna be happy. Because I was happy once. I know how that feels and that is the feeling I wanna have again.

So be Happy, Callie. You think you can´t be happy in Ney York or… is this about Penny?

She is so nice, Mer. So kind and such a good person. Is so easy to love her but I –

She is like the female version of George! - Meredith said laughing

Oh my god, Grey! - Callie started laughing really hard- She sooo is! This feel totally bad know what the worst part is? - Callie said- That I rushed things with both of them the same way. I just took off with George and got marry and I just took off with Penny to move in with her across the country. Crazy. Totally crazy because this last time I have more people to think about than just me. I'll never learn will I?

Yes. You are not alone anymore- Meredith said- Every time I am about to do something stupid as when I was a resident I am reminded I have three beautiful reasons to think, to keep going.

I know. I feel bad, I really do. I hurt people… I even put you in the middle of it!

Yep. And I will do it again, Callie, for you. I´ll do it thousands time again if you will tell me that you can be happy.

Maybe I used up all my happiness for this lifetime

Or maybe you are thinking too much. Give New York and Penny a chance. It hasn't been that much since you left. Try harder. Penny can be the person you grown old with. The person you get to spoil your grandchildren with. Get all wrinkly and ugly together- Meredith said smiling.

Callie remember when Bailey said somehting like that. She pictured Penny right away. She saw herself next to Penny in the near future, that's why she left to NY. She was excited for an adventure. But, when the excitement subsides… a future that far ahead as Meredith was talking about…

Tell me Mer, did you have to try to feel desperate in love with Derek? -Callie asked knowing the answer.

Not even close. It happens faster than I could even have control of. He was the love of my life. I knew it for the … I don't think this answer is helping at all- Meredith said

It is actually. I felt happy for a moment when I met Penny but now I just feel content and that never happen when I was with Ariz- She stop talking.

You are compering Callie. That might be the problem.

I can't help it. I haven't done it before. I try not to. But now we're talking and I feel like I can let it out once and for all. I didn't have to try with Arizona. And even in our darkest moments, I never felt just content. With her it was always challenging. I loved that. She drove me crazy in all ways possible. And when we were in that normally routine of everyday, things never were boring. I never felt content in my daily's life with her. I always felt happy, over the moon kind of happy. But it didn't work. We had been through hell. Too much pain. And if Arizona and I didn't work with the way I felt about her…

Just because with Arizona didn't work it doesn't mean that it can't work with someone else. Maybe Penny is not" it" for you. Maybe she was just the girl after Arizona. You know the feeling, Callie. Of being deeply in love with someone. You can have it again, it just might not be Penny.

I need her to be…- Callie said- I need it to work. I need Penny to be the one because I have hurt people along the way, and I am really sorry.

I don't think is me you should be apologizing with Callie…

I know…- Callie said in agreement. She very well knows what she had to do tomorrow. And for Penny and her? She will try. She needs to try.

Next chapter we'll have Callie and Arizona in court. And talking!
