Chapter 14
The Robbins had arrived at the hospital right at 6 am. They brought coffee and donuts. There had been no change in Arizona's condition overnight.
Callie had spoken to Maggie who was going to drop Sofia off at 8:00, they all agreed that they needed to let Sofia see her Momma, but only briefly. They would explain that Arizona had gotten hurt but was sleeping and needed her rest.
Callie and her ex in laws discussed the hip surgery that was still needed. Callie explained to them that once Amelia clears Arizona, she could repair Arizona's hip. She wanted to make sure that they were okay with her performing the surgery. Barbara held Callie's hand and said "Callie dear, we know you will do everything to help Arizona. We know that she couldn't be in better hands and Arizona would want this too." Callie excused herself to get cleaned up before she went to meet Maggie and pick up Sofia.
When Callie got to the lobby, Sofia ran up to her excitedly "Can I go see Momma now?" Callie pulled the little one close and said "Yes Mija, we can go up. But you need to be very quiet, Momma needs her rest."
When they entered the room, Sofia asked her mother to lift her up. She leaned over and patted Arizona on the cheek and bent down to kiss her and said "Please get better Momma, I miss you so much." The adults were trying to hide their tears when Alex walked in. Alex asked the little one if she wanted to help him unpack the new stickers and coloring books that they had in the peds ward. Sofia jumped at the chance. Callie thanked Alex and asked Sofia to be good.
Amelia came in and performed a neuro exam. She explained to Arizona's parents that she had the blonde in a medically induced coma, and they would reduce the medication later in the day but she wanted to allow for plenty of time for her brain to heal. She would order a CT for later in the day. She advised that she would probably be cleared for her hip surgery the next day, if all went as expected.
Bailey walked in to check on her friend. She felt terrible and blamed herself for the blondes accident. She felt the need to explain what had happened and when she got to the part about Arizona being recruited, Callie interrupted. She didn't understand, Arizona had not mentioned anything to her. She asked Barbara if she knew about it and she admitted that she did know. She told Callie that since she had left with Sofia that there was nothing to keep Arizona in Seattle.
The Colonel had been quiet the entire time and took that moment to excuse himself. He was going to go find Sofia and take her to the park for a while.
Callie felt horrible, she told Barbara that she and Sofia were staying in Seattle and that hopefully when Arizona recovered, she would stay as well. She looked sheepishly at Bailey and told the chief that she was planning on asking her for her job back. Bailey chuckled and said it was about time, and to come see her when Arizona was on the mend and they could discuss it further.
Barbara stopped them and asked Callie about her girlfriend. Bailey took that as her cue and said she would return later to check on Arizona. Callie told Barbara the truth, how she really wanted the relationship with Penny to work but she wasn't Arizona . She stated Penny didn't have the patience to be around a 6 year old full time and she would not keep her daughter in that type of situation. She told her ex mother in law that Sofia was not happy and missed Arizona so much that it was starting to change the little girl. She started crying as she tried to explain how sorry she was and how she would do everything to make it up to Arizona.
Barbara held the brunette and told her that she knew she was a good person and that she was always be part of the family. She stayed in her arms drifting off to sleep while the older blonde held her thinking what she could do to maker her stubborn daughter and daughter in law get back together.
