"Callie, can you run the pit tonight for me" Karev pleaded his hands pressed together in a praying motion. He obviously really needed the night off if he was begging me.

"Argggh, I had plans tonight" I grumbled.

"With who? Netflix" he teased.

Just another reason I was sick of hiding mine and Arizona's relationship. "Yeah sure. I'll do it. But you owe me."

Karev blew me an out of character kiss before running off down the hallway like a child chasing candy. I shook my head with disbelief before heading into my next patients room.

"Katelyn" I read from the chart before looking up at the 9-year-old girl. "Where is your mom sweetheart?" I asked as I walked to Katelyn's bedside to examine the young girls arm. Katelyn was 9 years old with a rare condition that meant her bones weren't fully developed in some parts of her body. For years we had waited for the day that she was strong enough to get the extensive surgery that would fix it all. Today was that day.

"She went to get coffee. She didn't sleep last night. Again" Katelyn said with a feel of guilt spreading across her face.

"Well how about tonight I give your mum some sleeping pills to help her sleep. We will run a full blood work up again and if the numbers are right girly, tomorrow you will wake up with new bones" I said with a smile.

Katelyn beamed with happiness. This was the surgery her and her mother had been waiting for and I was finally able to give it to them.

"How about I wait here until your mom gets back? I could do with a good game of cards." Katelyn had been challenging all the nurses to games of cards. I had kept putting it off because I had been so busy lately but pushing back another consultation wasn't going to hurt anybody. If they needed me, they would page me.

Katelyn and I played cards. The same game a dozen times. She won 6 and thanks to the very last game I too won 6. We were joined shortly after by a nurse who took all the necessary tests to determine if Katelyn was strong enough for surgery. Not long after the nurse walked out Arizona knocked on the door of the room.

"Katelyn" she said with a smile gracing her lips. The type of smile that made everybody feel safe.

"Dr Robbins" Katelyn said happily. "Dr Torres said if my results come back and they are good then today I will have my surgery" she relayed.

"Did she now?" Arizona's happy, joyful smile now looked pissed off. "Dr Torres, can I have a word with you outside?"

"Rematch later kid." I said as I stood to my feet and exited the room. Arizona closed the door behind us before turning to face me.

"Why would you schedule surgery without talking to me first?" Arizona asked.

"I didn't think I would need the help of a paediatric surgeon on a ortho case" I debated.

"Katelyn is 9 years old, she is a minor, that means you have a paediatric surgeon attached to your case whether you like it or not. I'm sick of all of you specialities thinking you can kick us out of the process like we bring nothing to the table."

I could tell Arizona was heated, the tone in her voice told me just how mad she was. I didn't much feel like arguing and quite frankly she wasn't wrong. I just never thought it would be such a big deal. "Sorry Arizona. I didn't think…"

"No, you didn't think. You never do. It's Dr Robbins by the way!"

"Ohhh wait wait wait" I said as I followed after her. "You can't possibly be that mad at me about not telling you about Katelyn's surgery."

"Callie. I don't have time for this, I'm busy" she muttered as she stormed down the hallway.

"No you do have time for this." I insisted as I pushed open a door to a spare room and I took your arm and pulled you through it the door closing behind us both. "This is one of our goddam problems Arizona. You never feel the need to tell me when your upset or mad. You just yell."

"You should have told me. Plain and simple!"

"Don't lie to me. Don't feed me that bullshit. What's wrong?"

Arizona paced across the room a few times before finally stopping to tell me what was really going on. "I'm sick of Dr Porter dictating our relationship. I read the stupid guidelines thing you left in my cubby. I'm not in a relationship with her. I'm in a relationship with you. At least I thought we were."

I sighed. It all made sense. I completely forgot about the guidelines that the doctor had written for us. I remember thinking they were ridiculous but I never thought they would upset Arizona. "Okay well why couldn't you just tell me that?"

"Because you're so obsessed with doing it her way. I suggest something different and you say 'but Dr Porter said'."

"This is where we go wrong Arizona. You just need to tell me instead of going off at me like that. I get that this is hard for you. It's hard for me too ya know."

"I don't think she gets to dictate how often we hang out, who is with us when we hang out and she certainly doesn't get to decide how we choose to incorporate our daughter into the relationship. I'm sick of going to her. I'm sick of her pointing the finger at me and making it seem like all our problems are my fault."

"THEY ARE ALL YOUR FAULT" I reactively said.

Arizona stopped talking immediately. We both did. We had tried the civilized route in attempt to keep our relationship civil but there were more too our problems than just rehashing them.

"And there it is. The reason you could never forgive me." Arizona said as she tried to head for the door. I stopped her my hands holding both her arms as she tried to push against me.

"Just stop" I said over and over again.

Arizona rolled out and headed to the other side of the room. She knew she wasn't getting through. "Why are you with me Callie. You obviously don't trust me and you obviously don't want to forgive me."

"How dare you say that. All of this is so I can forgive you, so I can move on. So we can move on. Therapy seemed like the only way when you have a girlfriend who refuses to share their feelings."

"FORGIVE ME CALLIE!" Arizona yelled. "Stop doing this! Stop using Dr Porter as an excuse for why we can't move forward. You need to decide whether you are ready to forgive me or not because I cannot stand around and wait for the day you decide you have to make the next step. I want you to bed ready. I want you to want me. I want you to goddam forgive me." Arizona said loudly before storming out. I decided to let her. I didn't really have a response for everything she said. Everything that happened may have been because of Arizona but at the end of the day it was me that was stopping us from moving forward now.

The next time Arizona and I met was in the OR room. We mutually decided to leave our fight outside the OR so that left very little to say during surgery. The surgery took 13 hours and by time I was finished I was ready to go home. Unfortunately, I had promised Karev I'd cover him in the pit. The surgery was a success, there was bound to be a couple of follow up surgeries when she was older to replace the rods but they were far less minor than this one.

I left the OR, took off my surgery covers and tossed them in the rubbish. I started scrubbing my arms as I watched the nurses tend to Katelyn. A swift swoosh entered the scrub room which meant someone else was joining. The silence informed me it was Arizona. Arizona removed her surgery covers before heading to scrub too.

"I'm sorry about earlier" I said without making eye contact.

Arizona didn't respond she just kept scrubbing.

"I don't think I'm going to trust you for a while" I admitted.

"I'm not sticking around for you to tell me why you can never forgive my mistakes" she said firmly as she dried her hands and left the scrub room.

I quickly dried my hands and I ran out after her. I felt like I was chasing her a lot lately. "Arizona" I called after her as I backed into a supply closet. I called her over with a nod of my head. She seemed reluctant but for some reason she still came.

I looked around me to see if we were alone. Besides the hundreds of different medical instruments, we were completely alone. "I want you to let me finish" I asked.

"I said I don't think I'm going to trust you for a while and I wasn't lying. That isn't solely because of you. I could lie and say I forgive you and that everything is going to be okay. I could say I trust you and don't think you'll ever cheat on me again but it's not true."

"Callie."

"Let me finish."

"But you are right. I was using Dr Porters stupid rules as an excuse. I am scared and by not having sex I felt like I was controlling our relationship. Like if you were to back out I wouldn't get hurt all over again. But I was wrong. I have never stopped loving you, even when I hated you and every time I saw you with Kate I felt heartbroken all over again."

"What are you saying Callie?"

"I want to be your girlfriend. I want to make that next step with you. I might get crazy jealous when you're talking to other girls or feel very insecure if you've been out all night but that is my problem now. I want to be with you. I want people to know about it. I want our daughter to know about it. I want to build a future with you and if you can deal with all the crazy that comes with that then I'm all yours."

By the end of my speech a smile was resting on the corner of Arizona's lips. "I want you, crazy and all."

"Can we kiss now? Because I miss you" I pled.

"Surprise you had to ask." Arizona responded as I picked her up off the ground and kissed her. Arizona wrapped her legs around my waist while I stumbled up against the wall for support.

"Do you have time now?" Arizona mumbled against my lips. I shook my head but I continued to kiss her my hands running up the inside of her scrub shirt. "I have to go to work" I whispered against her lips before finally plucking up the courage to pull away.

"Tonight?"

"Working in the pit tonight."

"On call room?" Arizona suggested.

"You want our first time as a couple to be in an on call room?"

"Many others have been" Arizona laughed as I finally placed her back on the ground my hands still resting on her waist.

"Tomorrow night. Sofia has camp so she will be away for the night. Make sure you sleep beforehand. You'll need the energy" I prepared her before kissing her soft pinkish lips and left the supply closet and headed for the pit.
