My eyes flickered open, it was a new day. Things with Arizona had started to get easier. We spent less time together which helped. I had been feeling awfully isolated lately. Meredith had her family, Hunt had Amelia, April and Jackson were getting along better, Karev and Jo seemed to be settling down and even Bailey and Warren were back on better terms. I had nobody. I didn't even have my daughter anymore. I worked 70+ hours a week and when I wasn't working I was sleeping. I had stopped going home to sleep, there seemed no point.

I rolled to my side the bunk creaking slightly as I moved. All the on call bunks creaked accept the 3rd on call room on the paediatrics floor. I knew that better than anybody. Instead of lingering in my thoughts I swung out of bed and decided to kick start the day.

I brushed my teeth in the attendings bathroom and I washed my face. I applied minimal makeup, just enough not to scare my patients. I changed into fresh scrubs and I walked out feeling and looking like I had just had the best sleep of my life. It's funny what a bit of morning prep can do for your attitude.

It was just after 5am and slowly the lights around the hospital were starting to pick up. More doctors started to arrive and slowly room by room the residents made their rounds. The hustle and bustle of the hospital was what kept me going these days.

I was down in the pit today. I had picked up an extra shift because Arizona had asked to have the day with Sofia. I was in no position to say no so instead I had agreed. I headed down to the pit and I sat up behind the desk. There wasn't much happening but I had learnt the hard way to never voice that opinion. Bad things happen when you mentioned it was quiet.

I watched as April and Jackson stood in the corner relatively close to one another. Jackson had his hand lightly on Aprils baby bump and she had her hand on his. They were in a bubble of happiness right now and all I could think is 'it won't last'.

The rest of the morning went relatively slowly. I caught up on paperwork and I attended to a few cuts and bruises. I was going through the motions in my own life.

By lunchtime things had picked up. The ER like expected on a Friday was jam-packed and doctors were running around like headless chickens. I had just finished setting a cast for a broken leg when one of the nurses popped her head into the room I was in. "Dr. Torres" she said in a weary tone.

"Yeah?" I replied as I continued to work on the cast in front of me. The guy had passed out from pain which actually made the whole fitting and prepping of the cast a whole lot easier.

"Your daughter is in the ER. Don't worry. Dr. Robbins is with her but I thought you should know" she said.

It took me less than a second to register what she was saying. I put my tools down and I headed into the ER. I beelined to the bed my daughter was occupying.

"What the heck happened?" I asked Arizona as I examined her body for any marks.

"Little miss Sofia fell off the monkey bars" Arizona said calmly.

"Has she had an MRI? What about a head CT. We can't take any chances" I said frantically.

"Callie" Arizona said as she looked up at Karev who had decided to stay quiet while we sorted things out. "Could you please give us a minute?" Arizona asked. Karev nodded, drawing the curtains as he left.

"Why are you sending him away? She needs to be checked" I said in a slightly pissed off tone.

"Callie. She's alright" Arizona said as she took my hand. "She is alright" Arizona repeated.

"How do you know? Have you checked for a break or a fracture?" I asked. I was still worked up, my tone was frantic and full of fear.

"You're a surgeon Callie. An Orthopaedic surgeon of all specialties. Look at her arm and tell me that's not just a bit of bruising" Arizona said trying to calm me down.

I walked to Sofia's bedside and I kissed her forehead. "Hey baby girl" I said. "I want you to tell mummy if it hurts okay" I instructed her as I picked up her arm and I ran my fingers along the irritated area. "Does that hurt baby?" Sofia nodded. "I want it x-rayed. It could be a hairline fracture. And I want a CT done. She could have a brain bleed or something."

Arizona sighed slightly but nodded. "Fine" Arizona agreed. "But you are doing hundreds of thousands of tests for no reason at all Callie. Sofia is fine" Arizona reminded me.

I slipped onto the side of Sofia's bed and I pulled her into my body. She winced with pain but she was happy to have her mum by her side. The curtain to the cubical was pulled slightly and Kate walked in carrying a basin of medications. "I brought some pain meds. Thought they would help while we get everything sorted out." Kate said kindly.

"Thanks" Arizona said as a smile graced her lips.

"Are you okay?" Kate asked Arizona quietly. Arizona nodded.

"You can just leave those over there" I said to her.

"I have to check her before I give them to her, you know that" Kate responded.

"There are two doctors in the room. I think we will be okay"

"Callie" Arizona snapped.

"No, she is right. You can both distribute medication" she agreed as she set the pills and the glass of water on the side of the table. Kate didn't want any trouble, in fact she only wanted to help.

"Kate can you stay with Sofia. I need to have a talk with Callie" Arizona said as she darted a look at me.

I slowly slipped out from beneath Sofia and I ran my hand through her hair. "We will be back darling. Uncle Karev is just outside if you need him. This is Kate. Kate is a nurse; she will look after you" I explained to Sofia. Sofia was too tired and dazed from crying that she barely responded.

I followed Arizona out of the cubical and into a spare room. Arizona pulled the blinds as I paced back and forward in the room.

"Are you going to tell me I'm stupid for ordering hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of tests for a girl that fell of the monkey bars? Because if you are stop. I've read cases where children have died from brain bleeds from something as simple as that" I said in a defensive tone.

"I just think we should talk about it before we put her through all these scary tests that I don't think are unnecessary."

"That you think are unnecessary" I said. "You are Sofia's legal guardian so does it really matter what I have to say?"

"CALLIE" Arizona yelled as she put her hands to her face. "I don't know why this is a problem all of a sudden. Just a few months ago we had come to an arrangement. The trial means shit now. You get to have a say. She is our daughter. Not mine. Not yours. Both of ours." Arizona said in a loud tone.

"You say that but at the end of the day in the eyes of the court she is yours. Do you remember when you asked me if we could do the paperwork for Sofia so that she was legally yours. Do you remember how secluded you felt? You hated that feeling. Now I'm in the exact same feeling and you expect me to just take your word for it?" I returned fire, my voice loud and steady and full of passion.

"What do I have to do to make you trust me?" Arizona asked almost rhetorically. I knew she was going to continue talking but I couldn't help but interrupt.

"If you didn't fuck some other woman while we were married maybe I'd be more inclined to trust you"

Arizona stopped, almost shocked that I had brought it up.

"I can't do this. I can't do us anymore" I bit down on my bottom lip as I watched Arizona. She was like a possum in a light. She hadn't moved.

"If I have the court change the custody will that make things better?" Arizona asked as calmly as she could. I could tell she wanted to yell. If we had not been in such a public place, I knew this could have very well gone down a different path.

"Would it make things better if legally I had a say over my daughter's life…. Yeah. I think that would make things a lot better" I responded sarcastically.

"I'd just like you to remember that it was you that took me to court. You tried to take my daughter away from me. That wasn't my decision. That was yours. Now when things backfire you want me to jump through hoops to make you comfortable." Arizona had secured a brave face. Her voice was soft and her anger was subsided very deep inside.

"I remember and I'm sorry for that. So god damn sorry but we can't keep playing games with our daughter."

Arizona nodded in agreement. "Yes" Arizona agreed verbally. "Do you really want to do the tests?"

I nodded "Yeah I do."

"Great, let's do them then"

All the tests came back clear. Arizona was right. Karev was right. Kate was right. Everybody was right. And if I'm being honest, I knew they were right too. Arizona had let me have Sofia for the night, I think she knew that I needed her.

Sofia and I had watched Frozen for the thousandth time and like every other time before, Sofia enjoyed every minute of it. After the movie we ate ice cream in bed and after some pain meds and a bit of snuggling Sofia was snoring away in her bed.

I went out onto the couch and decided to watch some TV before I too went to bed. My newest TV show addiction in a long line of many others was suits. I watched it every chance I got. I had just finished the episode and switched off the TV when I heard a knock at the door.

I stood up off the couch and I headed for the door. I had no idea who it could be. Maybe Meredith? Maybe Karev? I opened the door and Arizona stood there, her beautiful blonde hair so neatly pulled back into a pony tail.

"Hey" I said slightly confused. Did Sofia forget something?

"Can I come in?" Arizona asked. I stood to the side and watched as the blonde walked into the lounge. I closed the door behind her and headed for the kitchen. I didn't know why she was here but I was sure it wouldn't be long before she told me.
