*Hi everyone, I do not know a lot about the medical part. So I did a bit of researched but I don't know how reliable the sources might be. Also remember that I'm not primarily English.- Enjoy*
Arizona's POV
We are all standing in Bailey's office and I can see on Amelia's face that this is not good news. She explains to me what is wrong with me and then she suggests we go to one of the rooms so she can show me the extend of my illness. She explained it all in medical terms because she knew I'd understand but right now I didn't hear much. It felt as if my world came tumbling down. All I wanted was a hug. I wanted this to all just be a bad dream. I wanted to wake up and it should be the day before of the plane crash. I never would have gotten on that plane. As we made our way to the same room where Callie first massaged my leg, I started to cry. Bailey was consoling me but it wasn't helping at all. It just made me cry even more. It took a few minutes for the scans to appear but to me it felt like forever. Just as Amelia was about to start with her explanation, Meredith came into the room. She taught her patient's scans were up. With shock she stood still and looked at Bailey.
Meredith
Is this my patient?
I didn't know he had a brain tumour too. How did you know too look for that because he didn't have any symptoms.
Bailey
It's not your patient.
Meredith
Oh thank God because it looks kind of scary. Is this the first time you are seeing this? This person must have been in a whole lot of pain?
Bailey
Yes it's the first time. Don't you have work to do?
Meredith
Not right now. I'm waiting on my patient's scan. I would like to see what the plan is for this patient though. I remember having the same sort of thing with Derek. So I can help.
Amelia
We don't need help. I'm just as good as Derek.
Meredith
I didn't say you're not as good. Why are you picking a fight? I'm just trying to help.
Amelia
I'm not picking a fight. You can't just burst in here and not respect a patient's privacy. You don't own the hospital.
Meredith
Actually I do, well kind of and who's privacy? We are all doctors in here. I don't see any patients. You are being unnecessary now, gee.
I tried to stop them. I really did not need to people yelling at each other. How can they be so petty over scans? Just as I was trying to ask them to stop, I got light headed. This was probably because I didn't eat my lunch or it could be because of the tumour. I fainted before I could say anything and suddenly there was silence. Bailey and Amelia rushed to help me. They called for help and Meredith froze as she watched Bailey and Amelia help me. She knew this was not the normal way to help someone who was just light headed. She noticed how careful they were working with me. It didn't take too long for her to realize that the scan she was looking at, was mine. When I woke up, I was in a room with Bailey, Amelia and Meredith. I still felt a little drowsy but I wanted to know if she knew because I know she'd run straight to Callie if she knew.
Arizona
Did you tell her?
Meredith
No they told me you had low blood pressure but I heard what they said when they were in panic mode. I watched them help you and come on for god sake I'm a doctor. The scans, was it yours?
Arizona
Yes but you can't tell Callie.
Meredith
What do you mean I can't tell Callie? She's my friend I have to tell her. She will hate me if I don't.
Arizona
You said you had a similar case with Derek, right?
Meredith
Yes so I can help.
Arizona
Good, now you're also my doctor .So you have to stay true to the patient doctor confidentially policy.
Meredith
That's not fair.
Arizona
Do you want to help?
Meredith
Of course but you need to tell Callie.
Arizona
Great, now Amelia can you please explain to me what is going on.
Amelia explained to me that my tumour is bigger than she thought it would be. She thought that seeing that I've been having symptoms for a short while that the tumour wouldn't be this big. The fact that I've had symptoms for a short while and the tumour is this big means that this thing is growing rapidly. She wanted to do surgery as soon as possible. The good news was that it was still operable but the bad news however was that she wanted to do it immediately. I can't let that happen. I haven't told anyone yet and I have to get things in order for Sofia because Callie is leaving for New York soon. I need her to wait at least a week but as a doctor I know that the longer I wait the bigger it gets. The bigger it gets the slimmer the chances of having it removed. I asked Amelia if I could go home and think things through. She kept reminding me that I only have one option and that was to have this tumour removed on Monday. Bearing that in mind I made my way home. I invited Meredith and her kids over for dinner so I probably have to go help Callie with dinner. Inviting Mer was to help me avoid any long conversations I could be having with Callie. If I talk to her long enough I might just tell her about the tumour.
I messaged Callie to give her a heads up that Mer is coming over for a dinner party. Arriving at home I can see the excitement on Sofia's face. She and her mom was busy with the food and knowing Callie, she will probably tease me about the dinner I planned without letting her know first. That was the first thing she did when she saw me.
Callie
Do you know what is really nice?
Arizona
Waffles and Pancakes with lots of ice cream?
Callie
And people actually telling you their plans when their plan includes you.
Arizona
Are you mad?
Callie
No I'm not. This gives me a chance to catch up with Me but you should've told me first.
Arizona
You are sounding a lot like my wife now.
Callie
I'm sorry.
Arizona
No need to apologize.
This conversation with Callie gave me little butterflies. I wanted to flirt with her but I know she has a girlfriend and I will probably make a fool out of myself, so I stopped it just there. I went to my room to change into more comfortable clothes. I also messaged Meredith to remind her to not say anything to Callie.
Callie's POV
Meredith and her kids came right on time. Mer, as always, came with tequila and a bag of clothes, which I'm guessing is for Zola. The kids played in Sofia's room. Sofia and Zola were so excited that they could be the big kids who have to babysit the little ones. I noticed that Meredith and Arizona had something going on between them because they kept whispering when I wasn't looking or when I was busy. I asked the about it but they said they are working on a patient together. So we had dinner and cleaned the kitchen before we sat down to catch up. Ellis and Bailey were already asleep and Sofia and Zola were gossiping like two teenagers. Arizona suggested that Meredith stay the night and she said yes. I however was concerned of who would sleep where?
Callie
I know this is your house but uhm can you just explain to us who sleeps where?
Arizona
Deluca doesn't live here anymore, Callie. He got his own place now.
Callie
Yes but you have 3 bedrooms, Yours, Sofia's and a guest room.
Arizona
So? Zola and Sofia sleeps in Sofia's room.
Mer , Ellis and Bailey can sleep in the guest room and you can sleep on the couch. I still owe you one.
Callie
That's not the same but fine I'll sleep on the couch.
Meredith
Thank you Callie, it is so kind of you to offer the guest room.
Callie
Whatever…open the tequila.
Arizona
Yes Pleeease!
Meredith
No!You are not drinking.
Callie
Why not?
Meredith
Uhm well uh…
Arizona
Uhm I guess I'm watching the kids.
Meredith
Yes that's it.
Callie
No that's not it. You two are lying. What's going on?
Arizona
We have…
Callie
No if you have a patient, Mer would have told me about this patient by now. So tell me the truth.!NOW!
Meredith
Arizona will have a operation on Monday.
Callie
WHAT?
Arizona
No I'm not.
What happened to patient-doctor confidentiality?
Meredith
I'm sorry but Callie can kill me and I'm so scared of her.
Callie
Arizona, what is going on?
Arizona
Well I am,..uhm.. I am having an appendectomy on Monday.
Callie
What? Why didn't you tell me?
Arizona
I didn't want to worry you and it is standard procedure. Come on Callie you know that.
Callie
Yes I do but you'll need help. So I'm staying.
Arizona
No! NO! You are not.
Callie
You'll need help with Sofia.
Meredith
I help her with Sofia. You have a job to get back too.
Callie
I don't care, I'm staying.
Arizona
No you are not. You can come back on Friday. I'll even pay your plane ticket.
Callie
Okay but Mer promise me you'll take care of my girls.
Mer
Not your girls but I'll take care of your girl and Arizona.
Callie
I mean…oh you know what I mean man.
Arizona's POV
I know I shouldn't get excited when Callie calls us her girls but I cannot help it. Part of me don't want her to go but I also don't want her to stay because she thinks I'm sick. I want her to stay because she wants to be here in Seattle. Mer called it a night really early because she wanted to round on her patient first thing in the morning. Everybody was asleep and right now it was just me and Callie awake. She asked me again if she should stay. She told me she doesn't care if she loses her job in New York. She just wants to be here for me. She just wants to help me. This reminded me of how she practically broke herself to help me after the plane crash and I still feel guilty about that. I couldn't let her help me again not after I was so mean to her last time. So I told her I will be fine and she shouldn't worry too much. Then I went to bed but I couldn't fall asleep. I kept thinking about Monday. I decided to go through with the surgery and will let Amelia know tomorrow. I kept thinking what if something goes wrong. What if I don't wake up? Will this be the last time Callie and I will be in the same house? Am I really going to make her sleep on the couch and let that be the last memory of us together? What If I don't wake up from the operation and I never told Callie that she will always be the love of my life, even though we can't be together. I know I shouldn't be thinking like this and I know Amelia is one of the best neuro surgeons but I just can't help myself. Should I just go tell Callie about the tumour? Should I not? Should I tell her I love her but not tell her about the tumour? Is this the tumour giving me mood swings again now? What should I do?
