Penny excitedly leads Arizona through the front hallway of the clinic. Arizona smiles down at a pair of young girls sitting in the waiting area, swinging their legs in the waiting room chairs.

"Dr. Robbins, I'd like you to meet your team!"

Arizona extends her hand to the three young doctors standing at a makeshift nurses station. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Arizona Robbins."

The female in the group smiles "Evelyn Jacobs. Cardio" She extends her hand kindly. "It's great to have you. This is Dr. David Hughes, he's our neurologist and Dr. Finn Thompson, our jack of all trades. He handles a lot of the general surgery and everyone helps out in the more minor medical cases we see here. "

The guys grin widely "So here she is". The famous Dr. Arizona Robbins of Seattle Grace finally graces us with her presence." Finn exclaims.

Arizona exhales for what felt like the first time in weeks. The team seems welcoming and friendly. The very last thing she needs was uncooperative coworkers for the next three years.

She smiles at the three of them, finding her confidence for a moment. "I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys, and working closely with all of you. I think this is going to be a great opportunity for all of us."

"Dr. Robbins, would you like to get settled? I know it's been a long flight for you since taking off last night." Penny offers.

Arizona nods eagerly, suddenly realizing that her limbs are aching with exhaustion and her hidden grief .

"So here we are. Home sweet home." Penny opens the door to a bright, airy room on the second floor of the clinic. "We try to make things as comfortable as possible for all of you."

"Thank you Penny, for all of your kindness."

She smiles "I'll leave you to it! We'll see you downstairs in a few hours for dinner."

Arizona slowly surveys the room. The walls are a butter yellow, and the african sun is pouring through the open window. She sits on the edge of the bed, and quietly takes it all in. All of it was exhausting and overwhelming, and she desperately wished she could sleep as opposed to attending a banquet in her honor. If only Carter Madison could understand that she had just broken up with the love of her life standing in an airport not 24 hours earlier, maybe, just maybe they'd have mercy and reschedule for, oh, next century, when she was able to function again.

She kicks off her shoes, and curls up on her side. The new bed was comfortable enough, but it would take some getting used to.

"are you okay?" a female voice from the doorway startles her upright.

"Yeah, I um- you started me. I'm fine, thank you."

"I'm sorry."

Arizona offers her a smile, "I'm good. Don't worry."

"You look sad, is all." The petite brunette woman at the doorway smiles back at her. "I'm Erin. I'm a nurse here."

"I'm-"

"You're Dr. Arizona Robbins." Erin finishes, her brown eyes are wide with exuberance. "I know all about you. Not.. in like a creepy stalker sort of way but just in a "they've been telling the staff all about you" sort of way.

Arizona nods and inwardly smiles, she can hear a lot of herself in Erin. Or, who she used to be. Smile-y, perky. Upbeat. She thinks about telling the young nurse to run, far and fast, where nothing, and no one, and no situation will ever rob her of those things. But then again, no one had given her that benefit.

"I'm just tied" Arizona lies.

Erin nods wisely. "right." She makes no motion to leave Arizona's doorway. Making her slightly nervous. She smooths her wrinkled shirt and looks quietly around the room as Erin continues to hang out.

"And, I.. I just ended a relationship. It's just... a lot." She finally blurts out. She cannot believe she's spilling her guts to a total stranger, much less, a colleauge. She silently groans.

Erin puts her hand to her mouth "Oh, Dr. Robbins, I'm really sorry."

Arizona swallows hard and gets to her feet "It's okay, "I'm really fine." Another lie. She is now desperate for this well meaning, obviously sweet girl to go away.

Erin nods understandingly. "Well listen if you need anything, My room's right across the hall." Erin offers. "I'll see you downstairs later."

Erin shuts the door behind her, and she exhales deeply and flops down on the bed.

"Come on Robbins" she commands herself. "Pull your act together."But she knows that the command is useless, as she can hear her voice begin to crack.
