Chapter 11
After being at work for 12 hours, the last six on her feet in an OR, Arizona wanted nothing more than a hot cup of coffee. She was making her way to the coffee cart in the lobby when Bailey stopped her on the stairs "Robbins, we need to talk." Arizona turned around and said "Listen Miranda, I'm tired and don't have the energy to argue with you right now." Bailey stopped her and said "Arizona, I'm not trying to argue with you. I need to apologize. I realize I have expected a lot of you lately and of course it's not unreasonable for you to take some time off. I know their have been been people recruiting you, we can't lose you Arizona." Arizona was tired and didn't want to have this conversation now "Bailey, can we discuss this later? I am tired and WHOA..."
As she turned back around, her prosthetic got caught on the step and as her body turned, her leg did not as she stumbled and lost her balance and started to fall down the steps. There was a loud 'popping' noise and Bailey didn't know if the noise was Arizona's prosthetic coming off or her hip coming out of the socket. She screamed "as she tried to grab her friend to prevent her falling. She was unsuccessful. Arizona's head hit the steps as she rolled down them and Bailey screamed "Page Hunt 911! Page Neuro! I need a gurney up here." She kneeled down to stabilize the blondes head and neck and started begging her friend to hang in there as a pool of blood gathered around the blonde.
Arizona was unconscious, they were able to move her to an open trauma room. Hunt was in charge and was stabilizing Arizona's hip as it appeared to be dislocated. He feared that it had too much damage to the socket and was concerned the she would need a hip replacement. He needed a CT to confirm. Normally, that type of surgery was routine but he was afraid that with her residual limb, it would be more complicated. Amelia performed a neuro exam and ordered a CT, she feared a subdural hematoma.
As word got around, a crowd had started to gather outside the trauma room. Bailey walked out and told the group of people, " I know you are concerned, we all are. Please give Arizona privacy and get back to work. We will keep you updated."
Meredith and Alex came running up and Bailey told Meredith she could go in and help Hunt and Amelia. She wouldn't let Alex, " you are too close to her, go find Dr Webber and find out who her emergency contact is and contact them, I think it's her parents. There are decisions that are going to need to be made." Alex agreed and ran off to find Webber.
Dr Webber spoke with Arizona's parents and they said they would see about catching a flight out, but they trusted the staff at Grey Sloan and told Dr Webber to do what they needed to do. Barbara then picked up the phone and immediately called Callie. Callie knew that her former co workers would not give her any information regarding Arizona's condition over the phone. She picked up her phone and called her father.
Callie hung up from her father and called the Robbins back, she hoped it was Barbara that picked up but no such luck as the Colonel picked up. She hadn't spoken with the man since the divorce "Daniel? Um Colonel Sir ?" She stammered. "Yes Callie? Spit it out."
"Daniel...my father is in DC on business, he is sending his private jet to pick you and Barbara up and then will swing by here to get me and Sofia to take us to Seattle, to Arizona. I will email you the details." There was a long pause and he silence was extremely awkward "Thank you Callie" finally replied the Colonel.
Callie finished packing and went to pick Sofia up early from school. She was unsure what to tell her because she herself wasn't exactly sure of Arizona's condition. She decided to just tell her that her Momma was hurt, but wouldn't elaborate.
Callie was extremely grateful that Sofia kept her ex in laws entertained during the fight. She was worried about how they would treat her. She wasn't sure what they knew about the divorce. She needn't have worried as Barbara welcomed her with open arms. Daniel was a little reserved but Sofia had the man laughing and telling stories in record time.
