The following day the three women went to the centre. The kids were excited to see Callie again but were disappointed when she explained that the summer retreat would be cancelled this year due to her fall. After apologising she gave Barbara the guided tour. Arizona spent the day just like she always did at Adams's House: playing video games with the boys. All in all they had a good day and it was over far too soon.

The day after Arizona was back at the hospital, sitting in the cafeteria. Teddy suddenly sat down opposite.

"Hey." She greeted the cardio surgeon cheerfully.

"Hey Arizona, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm good." Teddy didn't seem convinced. "What?"

"Your arms."

The marks were hardly visible anymore but they had not gone unnoticed by her friend.

"I'm fine."

"Did Callie hurt you?" Her question was direct and concerned.

"No."

"Arizona..."

"It's private Teddy," She interrupted. "It's my relationship."

"So it was her!" The other woman said a bit too loudly.

"I'm not gonna talk about it with you."

"Fine but what about your apartment?"

"What?"

"You've practically shacked up haven't you?"

"Only for her recovery."

"Just be careful not to move too quickly."

"Since when do you lecture me about relationships?"

"Since your last one ended with you getting hurt."

"Teddy, I get that you're concerned but me and Calliope are really good. She is getting better every day. Yes, there was an incident but it's resolved."

"Okay. Are you sure you have the right support around you? I've hardly heard from you in weeks."

"Yeah, actually Calliope called my Mom out here."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, I was pissed to start with but it's going okay. She knew I needed some help. She is still looking after me even when she can't."

"Good."

"Hey have you asked her yet?" They were interrupted by Mark.

"Will you all get out of my relationship!"

"What?" He defended. "I was on about the club."

"Yeah we were all supposed to go the night it opened." Teddy explained.

"But seeing as your girl was in the hospital it didn't seem right."

"Oh." Arizona suddenly felt embarrassed for snapping at Mark. "Well I guess we could go tonight."

"Great!" Sloan clapped his hands and stood up. "See you there."

"Yeah, I will meet you about nine?"

"Okay" The peds surgeon agreed with Teddy.

"Hey Mom." She greeted that evening. "Where's Calliope?" She asked when she clearly wasn't in the main living area.

"She went for a lie down a while ago." Barbara informed her daughter from the sofa. Arizona went into the bedroom and sure enough her girlfriend was on the bed. She sat next to the Latina and stroked her cheek with the back of her hand.

"Hey baby."

"Hey good day at work?"

"It was alright. Mark and Teddy wanted us to go to The Avenue tonight if you're up for it."

"Really?" Callie perked up instantly.

"Yeah as long as you're not too tired."

"No I'm good."

"Awsome." Arizona turned to shout into the living room. "Mom, we're going out to the club tonight!"

Barbara appeared at the door. "Oh that sounds lovely; I'll go and find an outfit."

"Wait, what?" That was not what the blonde meant by "we".

"I wanna come with you." Her mother said as if it was obvious.

"No you can't come clubbing."

"Sure she can." Callie insisted. "Feel free Barbara."

"No you don't know what she's like without Dad."

"Oh, I'm not gonna get in trouble with the Colonel am I?" The Latina worried allowed.

"Oh no dear. Don't worry about him. What he doesn't know won't hurt him."

"This is going to end badly." The surgeon warned.

Arizona walked into her girlfriend's office to find her sat at the desk.

"Hey, Jonathon hasn't run the business into the ground already has he?" She asked as she went to stand on the opposite side to Callie.

"No, he's actually a lot better than I give him credit for. You aren't checking up on me are you?"

"No. My Mom is dancing." The blonde closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Well it can't be that bad darling." Callie stood up and rounded the desk.

"She's dancing with Mark." Arizona scrunched her face up even more and felt strong arms wrap around her waist. "Make the image go away." She pleaded.

"Okay honey; I bought a new outfit for London." The Latina spoke against her partner's neck before she started kissing the skin.

"Yeah? A new dress?" She knew Callie meant something else but couldn't resist teasing.

"A little more minimal." The brunette replied in between kisses.

Arizona tried to focus on her breathing. Her girlfriend hadn't behaved like this since she had fallen and it was making the surgeon dizzy. "You need to stop that." She warned.

"Would you rather think about your mother bumping and grinding with the man whore?" Callie joked.

"No! Tell me about the outfit." She demanded.

"I thought you might prefer that." The Latina moved across to the other side of her neck. "Black. Lace. Panties."

"Is that all?"

"And a little surprise for you."

Arizona pulled out of her arms.

"Come and dance with me."

"I thought that I was supposed to be resting?" Callie queried.

"You are but in here you're working. Just a few songs." She popped the dimples to help persuade her partner. In truth she was trying to avoid getting the Brunette fired up for something neither of them could handle yet.

"Okay, let's go." She saw through the blonde's smile.

The pair made their way out onto the dance floor and began moving to the music. It started off innocent at first but then tanned hands began sliding over the surgeon's body.

"I'm gonna go check on my Mom." Arizona announced rather suddenly.

"Okay," Callie replied sensing her discomfort. "I'll go get you a drink." Getting a nod in response she continued. "I'll meet you by the bar." She then watched Arizona disappear into the crowd.

On her way to get a glass of wine, Callie was stopped by a woman's voice.

"I knew there was something going on between you and Doctor Robbins."

She turned to see the nurse she'd spent the night with months ago, before Arizona.

"Hey..."

"Jane." She supplied.

"Sorry."

"It's okay I heard about your bang to the head and everything."

"Oh." The brunette felt awkward. She was used to running into past lovers but not whilst out with her girlfriend.

"So you and Robbins?"

"Yeah, we've been together about four months now." Callie answered with a smile. "What about you? Are you here with someone?"

"Yeah my girlfriend actually. We've been on and off for about nine months. We were off when you and I... you know. Obviously."

"Hey, that's none of my business." Both women seemed content to wrap up this conversation and move on but somebody else joined in.

"You trying to steal another of my girlfriends.?" Jasmine was now stood next to the nurse.

"No... wait." Callie realised what this meant. "You... this is who you cheated on Arizona with?" She could feel her blood pressure rise.

"Callie..." Jane wanted to diffuse the situation.

"I thought you worked at Seattle Press?" She was sure that was one of the details in Arizona's voicemail.

"I transferred." The nurse was looking for the exit. "Jas and I had a fight and..."

"So you transferred to my hospital so I'd have to see you every day." None of them had noticed the peds surgeon get closer.

"Doctor Robbins, I didn't want you to find out like this."

Arizona was struggling to process this information. She'd seen this nurse at the hospital so often and now she knew she was the woman, the other woman. And stood next to her was Jasmine. The blonde turned to Callie.

"Can you go please Calliope? Into the office. I'll handle this."

"Are you sure darling?" More than anything she wanted to stay.

"Yeah, I'll come find you." Arizona knew that her girlfriend could see the unshed tears in her eyes.

"Sure thing." The Latina gave her a quick kiss and did as she was asked.

"You'd never tell me what to do like that." Jasmine laughed.

The blonde took a deep breath and turned back around to face her past.

"Get out of my girlfriend's club." She spoke clearly and as without emotion as possible.

"This is her business?" Her ex asked.

"Yeah, now leave and take your skanky nurse friend with you."

"Hey, don't call her that. Your Calliope slept with her too." The smirk on Jasmine's face was indescribable.

"What?" She sought out confirmation from the nurse.

"It was a while ago." She explained.

"You can't be that surprised." Jasmine spat. "From what I here she is a right slut!"

Bang!

Before Arizona knew it her right fist had connected with her ex's face. The neuro surgeon had got up to return a blow but security guards held her back.

"Get her out of here." Jonathon ordered. "Are you okay?" He asked Arizona.

"Arizona what was that about?" Teddy had also appeared.

"Nothing. I'm fine." She lied as she clutched her hand.

"Hey, Robbins I think your Mom has had enough." Mark said as he held her up.

"Can you take her home please?" She handed Teddy her keys.

"Home? As in your home?"

"My girlfriend's apartment Teddy, can we not have this argument right now?"

"Sorry." The cardio God offered.

"I'll be back soon, just make sure she is okay please."

"Will do." Mark promised.

"You know Arizona," Barbara pointed her finger and managed to hold it still even if the rest of her body was swaying. "I never liked that Jasmine."

"I know Mom. The guys are gonna take you home okay?"

After they left Jonathon ushered her into the office where Callie was sat on the sofa.

"What happened?" She asked when she noticed the ice held to Arizona's knuckles.

"She punched the bitch."

"Can you not Jonathon?" As accurate as his summation was the blonde wasn't in the mood.

"You should probably leave." Callie suggested. She locked the door behind him to give them some privacy and went to sit down next to her partner who was now on the sofa too.

"Are you okay sweetheart?"

"I'm fine."

"Liar. She must have said something really horrible to get that kind of reaction." The Latina moved her head in an attempt to get eye contact. Arizona kept refusing.

"She called you a slut."

"Well she's kind of right."

The blonde grabbed for her hand with her right hand because that's what side Callie was on but immediately felt a sting in her knuckles and placed the ice back on them.

"No, you're not Calliope. You have morals and you also had reasons for behaving like that." She was still staring forwards.

"Tell me what you're thinking." For once Callie was at a loss.

"It's just a lot to come face to face with my ex girlfriend and that nurse."

"Jane."

"Of course you remember her name. One night and you know it but months with me and..."

"Hey!" It was loud enough to make the surgeon shift her head and look at Callie. "I didn't remember her name; she had to remind me." Her tone was vicious.

"I'm sorry." Arizona whispered.

"Ask me what she looked like naked."

"What?" That seemed ridiculous.

"Just do it."

"What did she look like naked?" The words made her skin crawl as she spoke them.

"I don't know. It wasn't important. Ask me what you look like naked."

"Calliope." She wasn't in the mood for this game.

"Ask me." The brunette demanded.

"What do I look like naked?"

She softened her tone. "Beautiful. You've got a tiny birthmark here." Callie placed her fingers on the lower left hand side of her stomach. "It's really faint but I know it's there. It's almost in the shape of a butterfly. Your chest..." She moved her hand to place it flat against Arizona's cleavage. "It's so responsive. Goose pimples appear instantly where my hand rests." Slowly, the same hand made its way to her left breast. "Your nipples start off soft under my palm but they don't stay that way when they're in between my fingers." Callie was now whispering straight into her ear. She was pleading with Arizona to understand. Her hand moved from the blonde's chest and guided her face to re- establish eye contact.

"I know you. I know your body. I've tried telling you how much you mean emotionally but if you wanna make this about the physical, I can do that. Arizona you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I don't see anybody else anymore. I don't think about having sex with anybody but you. It's you. It's me and it's old wrinkly sex forever."
