Chapter 6
Later that day Arizona was walking with Alex through the Peds ward reviewing cases that he missed while he was out and Arizona was letting him know how happy she was that he was back when Dr Minnick approached "Dr Robbins, I am glad I found you. I wanted to let you know that I will be in your OR this afternoon for your fetal aortic valvuplasty." She said as she appeared to stand too close to the fetal surgeon.
Arizona stepped back and said "No thanks, Dr Minnick, I perform surgeries on tiny humans while they are still in utero, I allow residents to observe. They do not participate and I don't need you in there interfering or getting in my way, so again, no thanks" Dr Minnick started to protest when Arizona walked away with Alex on her heels. He smirked and said "you know she's going to rat you out to Bailey right?" Arizona replied "Let her, Bailey and I have an arrangement, she leaves me alone and I bring patients from all over the country to fix their unborn babies while bringing fame and fortune to this hospital or I start paying attention to all the headhunters that are trying to recruit me. Dr Minnick is just trying to get under my skin."
"You mean in your pants?" Alex said as Arizona groaned "what are you talking about Alex?" He just shook his head and said "she's into you, you should jump on that." Arizona looked him in the eye and said "That is not an option, she is trying to take Richard's job. I wouldn't do that to him".
Meanwhile in New York, Callie was having a hard time, she was really feeling guilty about uprooting Sofia and taking her across the country. The little girl was not as talkative lately and she knew she missed her other mother and her friends, every day Sofia would ask when they were going back home. To be honest, she missed Seattle too. This had not turned out the way she had hoped it would. Things with her and Penny weren't going as smooth as she expected either. Penny was having a hard time adjusting to living with a 6 year old and Callie was adjusting to not having her girlfriend around very much. She was seriously reconsidering her decision.
Arizona had only been able to visit once since they moved and there was a storm that caused a lot of turbulence on the flight and she had suffered a panic attack. She had to spend the first whole day she was in New York sedated instead of with her daughter as planned. This was definitely becoming a decision that she was regretting.
Callie didn't want Penny winning the Preminger grant to be just like when Arizona won the Carter Madison grant and it wasn't the same, it was much worse.
How did she keep getting herself in these situations? As much as she wanted to deny it, Arizona was right when she told Callie that she loved the idea of being in love, and in her haste to keep this relationship she jumped at the chance to fight her ex wife for custody and move with her newly found girlfriend. She accelerated the relationship to prevent from failing another relationship. She really needed to re think this decision.
