Part 5
Yesterday Callie left Arizona's house and went to Mer's. She and Sofia are staying with Mer while they are in Seattle. Callie figured that leaving Sofia with Arizona is not a good idea. She knows Sofia would cheer up her ex-wife but for now Arizona has a lot to deal with. So she was thinking to let Sofia go to Arizona during the day and then she'll take the night duties.
Callie
Morning Mer, uhm could you maybe drop Sofia at Arizona's on your way to work?
Mer
Sure but don't you want to take her and go check on Arizona and her mom?
Callie
Yes but Arizona kinda don't want me there.
Mer
AND since when do you Callie Torres listen to what Robbins has to say?
Callie
Since she's not my wife anymore and this is not my place. I'll be the supporting ex-wife who gives her what she wants. You know take Sofia to her, let Sofia miss the first week of school to stay for the funeral and a little longer for Arizona. You know give her space and give her Sofia. Because that's what she want.
Mer
But is it what she needs?
Callie
What do you mean?
Mer
I think you know.
Callie
No I don't. What do you mean Grey.
Mer
We have got to get going. Come on kids.
The kids come running down trying to beat Maggie to the car. Zola called shot gun but it was an Olympic race to the car. Bailey knocked a few things over. Zola held back Maggie and Sofia came flying through in the hopes of catching up with Bailey, so she can save the front seat for Zola.
Mer
Hey what did I say about running? Maggie ,really?
Maggie
What? It is always good to stay in touch with your inner child besides we were cheering up Sofia.
Callie
Hey Hey Missy, don't we say bye when we leave?
Sofia
Sorry mama.
Callie
Yeah yeah sorry mama. Be good for mommy today okay.
Sofia
I'm always good mama.
Callie
I know mija. Come give me a hug.
The two brunettes got into a powerful embrace. Callie did not want to let go because she could just see how hard this is for her little girl. She knows Sofia is trying to be brave and she hates that her little girl chose to deal with things this way. Her way dealing with things was trying to be brave for her mom. The crew got into the car and they were off. Callie had no idea what she would do with herself for the rest of the day. She might go into the hospital to see if they need her but first she'll catch up with Penny.
Penny
Callie hi, can't talk now can I call you back?
Callie
Yes sure, was just letting you know me and Sofia staying till after the funeral and then we will be back. I already informed her school and they understand.
Penny
Ok talk to you again.
Penny hung up. Callie didn't know what to think because she did say she was busy but also the Penny she knew would never just "ok' her.
After speaking to Penny, Callie wanted to see how Arizona was doing but she decided to text instead of calling or checking in on her.
*Good morning, how did you sleep? Are you ok? To do need anything – C*
She then made her way to hospital where Bailey asked her to help with a young boy who was in a horrible accident. She helped Bailey but Bailey could see she was pre-occupied.
Bailey
Torres! You good?
Callie
Yes, yeah why wouldn't I be?
Bailey
Well you keep asking her to check your phone and you busy saving a little boy's hand. A hand he will maybe need to play tennis or piano or something.
Callie
I'm good I just wanted to see if maybe Arizona needed something.
Bailey
Why aren't with her? Why did you come to GSM? You don't even work here anymore?
Callie
Hey I own this hospital.
Bailey
Yeah Yeah but answer me.
Callie
Arizona doesn't want me here.
Bailey
Well she did just ask for Sofia, not you.
Callie
Am I too much Bailey?
Bailey
Well let me put it to you this way. If my dad died, which I hope he doesn't. If he died, I wouldn't want my ex husband her to comfort me. I would want him to think that I need him or he needs to be the hero stepping in. Because you know that would give him some kind of power over me. He'll think I can't handle live without him and that's not how it is.
Callie
I don't think that and I don't want power over her. I know she can handle this. I just want to support her through it because she is the mother of my child.
Bailey
You sure that's the only reason?
Callie
Bailey we were married. We have been through so much. Africa, a car crash, a plane crash, cheating, a messy court battle and we have always corrected our differences. We are not close but she is the friend I love the most because we share so much. So it is important to me for her to be ok. Before the accident we were friends, she called daily to check on Sofia and when they were done talking we talked. She asked about Penny and I'd tease her when she tells me how bad a date went. We were friends and I care about my friends.
Bailey
I'm your friend right?
Callie
Of course you are.
Bailey
Would you be so persistent with me?
Callie
Yeah!
Bailey
Lies Torres.
Callie
Okay I won't but she is the mother of my child.
Bailey
Just that?
Callie
Why is me being here so wrong?
Bailey
Maybe because after she asked you to leave, you are still here.
Callie
I just told you why-
Bailey
You told me or you convinced yourself? You good here? They paging me.
Callie
I'm good.
Bailey
Stop checking your phone to see if your "f-r-i-e-n-d" is okay and go see her after this or don't. Just stop acting like the over protective girlfriend.
Callie
I'm not acting like the…-
Bailey
Bye Torres.
Bailey left and Callie finished with her surgery. Jo was in love with the Torres method she even tried convincing Callie to come back to Seattle but Callie was having none of it. She decided to go to Arizona's house after all
