Callie's POV –
After dinner I picked up a crying Sofia and take her in the in the living room to feed her. I decided to use the breast milk in refrigerator Mark didn't use today because Arizona thought it was going to go bad soon. Arizona grabbed her laptop and came to sit beside us while we decided on what to do for the next two weeks.
"That looks cool. I've always wanted to go snorkeling, and then we could go parasailing after that." Arizona looked at me for my input but I was a little bit distracted.
Sofia wouldn't take her bottle. She had always been a really good girl about eating. I immediately got a very bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I kissed her forehead. "She won't eat like she normally does; I know she should be hungry. She hasn't eaten in over five hours, plus she feels like she might have a fever."
Arizona took Sofia from me and attempted to give her the bottle herself. She wouldn't take it for her either.
"What is wrong with her? Why isn't she eating?" I ask starting to panic.
"Callie, calm down. It could be a lot of things, she could be teething and it hurts to eat. She might be ready for starting on solid foods but I doubt that…" Arizona answers, not wanting to voice the number of other things that could be wrong with their child. She feels around in Sofia's mouth to see if one of her bottom teeth is coming in. She grins, "She's just getting her first tooth in Callie."
"Ari, please just check her out a little bit more I have a really bad feeling." I reach out for Sofia and hold her tight to me. I pray that its just her tooth giving her a fever and making her not want to eat.
Arizona's POV –
I search through my bags looking for all the medical supplies I had brought just in case. I was really hoping Callie's gut instinct was wrong because I was beginning to feel uneasy about this as well. What if she had picked up some local disease or worse?...No, I told myself. You need to stay positive if only for Callie's sake. If she sees me panicking she's going to panic. I just need to breathe and hope this is all just a toothache.
I walk back in the living room and Callie hands her to me. I check her heart rate, normal. Blood pressure…normal. Fever…a little high at 99.7. I started listening to her breathing and it was a little more rapid than I wanted to hear, next I started listening to her heart. It sounded really good. Then, I heard it. A soft wooshing noise that wasn't supposed to be there. My own heart sunk. I turned back to Callie and I couldn't help the tears that were pooling in my eyes.
"Cal, we need to get her to Dr. Fletcher now. She's has to get an echocardiogram and an x-ray of her chest to see how bad this is. I'm going to call him. Can you get us a flight out of here ASAP?"
"I…I…yeah…I guess. She has another heart problem?"
Still holding Sofia, I kiss her gently on the lips, "Calliope we will get through this. Sofia will get through this okay?"
I hear Callie talking to her father in Spanish as I lay Sofia down in her crib after calling Dr. Fletcher.
I pick up my phone and dial Marks number, "Mark? Hey it's Arizona. You need to pack all your stuff up. We have to go to Texas."
"What? Why the hell are we going to Texas?"
"Because Sofia has a hole in her heart and he one of the best pediatric surgeons in the world. He is in Texas right now on vacation with his family. He is doing me a huge favor by meeting us at the airport and taking Sofia in right away. He's at Texas Children's Hospital getting clearance right now. So will you please hurry up and come help us pack up?" I hang up with Mark and watch my little girl sleep so peacefully.
"Arizona! Daddy said he has a jumbo jet here, he is calling right now to have it fueled and ready. It should be ready by the time we get there."
