I don't own these characters. Well, a few of them are mine, but the ones that matter belong to Shonda Rhimes and abc.

I can give you guys 106 reasons why this update took so long (and seriously, I have like 117 reasons to give) but I'm sure you all don't wanna hear them. I am sorry that it took so long and, for all it's worth, I have a laptop charger so updates should come faster now. Thanks for sticking around, reading, for the favorites, and alerts and for reviewing.

Also, Callie's text, Arizona's text. And I kinda changed up their backgrounds and stuff. You'll see.

Thanks again, enjoy :)

Chapter 6

::..Arizona's POV..::

"I don't understand why not, though." Teddy says to me, taking a bite of her sandwich. She'd gotten me to have lunch with her at her job so that we could catch up a bit…and so that she can continue to harass me about taking a job here.

"Teddy, it's really complicated and I just don't think things would work our here, ya know?" I tell her.

"How could things not work out? You don't know anyone here except me and we're friends already! Besides, you'll be Head of Peds. if you take the job here and won't have to worry about sexes bosses and not being able to show your full potential." Teddy says, putting a chip into her mouth.

"I don't know, I'll think about it." I tell her taking a sip of my juice. I hear my phone beep and I look down to see who it is. Reading a text from Tim, I hear a voice that belongs to a person who I was trying to avoid.

"There you are, Teddy." I hear Callie say, "I've been looking all over for you, turns out my patient, the hip replacement guy has been having chest pains andhe has a history when it comes to cardio and I wanted to see if you could look into that before I perform—Arizona?" she stops.

I lift my head up and smile, "Callie, hey! I didn't expect to see you here." I lie.

"I work here." Callie says, dryly.

It's been a week since she gave me her number and I have yet to make any contact with her.

"Right... How have you been?" I awkwardly ask.

"Wait, you two know each other?" Teddy asks, confused.

"Uh, Yeah, sorta." Callie answers, "I did surgery on her brother."

"Oh yeah that's right." Teddy says before her pager sounds. "Arizona, I have to go, think about the job offer, okay? Callie, I'll be up to check on your patient in a half." Teddy says before leaving the cafeteria.

"Job offer? What job offer?" Callie says, taking a seat, "You mind if I sit?"

"No, go ahead," I say waving to the seat across from me. "Umm, you guys have an opening in Peds. and Teddy thinks I should check it out."

Callie looks confused, "Wait, what? You're a surgeon?" she says, "I thought you did real estate." she finished.

"No, I was really just doing my brother a favor, showing you guys the house. I'm a Pediatric surgeon over at Seattle Presbyterian…well I was—I mean I am, but I won't be in a couple weeks…" I ramble.

Callie looks at me, confusion evident on her face.

"I resigned." I tell her. Just then, my phone rings, I look and see that it's Tim.

"Excuse me." I tell Callie before answering.

"Hello…Yeah, why?…Uh, Yeah sure…Yeah, an hour is fine…ok, I'll see you guys then." I hang up.

"Oh, so your phone isn't broken." Callie states.

"Huh?" I say, not sure what she was talking about.

"Nothing, it's just that you never called and I though maybe something might have happened to your phone." She says, a small hint of annoyance and sarcasm in her voice.

"Oh…look, Callie. You have a girlfriend and I just didn't think that me seeing you for lunch would be appropriate, ya know? I wasn't avoiding you or anything." I tell her, honestly.

"It wasn't a date. I'm allowed to have lunch with friends, Arizona." Callie says.

"Yeah, I know but—." I say, but I'm cut off.

"Here, let me see." Callie says reaching across the table to grab my phone.

After watching her toy with it for a little bit, I finally ask, "Uhh, what are you doing?"

"I just sent a text to my phone." she says, sitting my phone back down. "Now, I have your number."

"Wha—you can't just do that!" I say, watching Callie stand up from the table.

"That's funny…cause, I kinda just did." she says before smirking and walking away.

Standing up from the table, I throw my things in the trash. Walking towards the exit of the hospital, I can't help the grin that seems to appear whenever I think about Callie. There is just something about her that drives me wild. I know that her girlfriend is cheating on her but that doesn't make it ok for me to help her cheat. But it's only lunch, right? What could that hurt? Oh, who am I kidding, I like her. I'm playing with fire here…but if that fire is Callie Torres, label me a pyro.

I end my thoughts when I reach my car. Getting in, I clear my head of all things Callie related and make my way over to hang out with some of my favorite guys, Tim and Ryder.

..::Callie's POV::..

"…Yeah, they met when she was in high school. They were together for 3 years and then in senior year, his parents moved to Arizona and she was heartbroken and then they meet again 10 years later and BAM! Just like that, they're getting married. Isn't that great?—Callie? Callie, are you listening to me?" Andrea stops and asks me. We're sitting at her place, eating take out and she's telling me about one of her cousins….or something.

"What? Yeah, I'm listening, keep going." I lie. Truth be told, she lost me when she said Arizona. That immediately made me think of that special blonde.

"Anyway, they are going to get marri—" she's cut off by the sound of her phone ringing. "Alexandrea McCord, go" she says. She looks up at me and then tells me that she has to take the call outside.

A few minutes went by and Andrea came back in and started to clear her take out containers from the table.

"Where are you going?" I ask her.

"Oh, I just have to go over to my office really quick." she says.

"Seriously, Andrea?" I say, rolling my eyes, "I just got here and you're leaving?"

"Yeah." she says plainly, "Duty calls." she finishes motioning to her cell phone.

"Whatever." I say as she walks to the door.

"Will you be here when I get back?" she asks, curiously. "Ya know, just so I'll know…"

"I don't know, Andrea…why?" I ask.

"I just need to know…you know what, why do you go home, I'm not sure how long I'll be." Andrea says.

"But you just said that it'd be a quick run." I say.

"Yeah, but you know how things can get with these major cases." she says. "Just, uhhh…I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" and with that, she leaves.

I'm not stupid. Actually, I'm pretty damn smart. I have a gut feeling when it comes to certain stuff, I just know things. But one thing that I can't figure out is why I can't bring myself to call Andrea on her bullshit.

Sitting in the empty apartment, I pull out my phone and send a text.

'Arizona (like the battleship) what are you up to?'

Clearing the table and gathering my things, I leave Andrea's place and start to walk to my apartment. It's about a ten minute walk from her place to mine but I decided to take a detour, stopping at the ice cream shop around the corner from my apartment. Looking at my phone, I realize that Arizona hadn't text me back yet. Walking into the shop, I order something sweet. As I'm waiting for it, I feel my phone vibrate.

I got a butterflies when I saw that it was from Arizona.

'Hey, Callie. I would have responded sooner, but I forgot my phone was on silent and couldn't hear it. I'm not up to anything, just running some errands. You?'

I smiled as I quickly wrote a reply.

'I'm just hangin'. Hey, do you like ice cream?'

A few seconds later, she responded.

'Yes, I like ice cream. This is too weird, I'm beginning to think you're planning all of this.'

Reading that text had me a bit confused.

'Huh? What do you mean?' I send back.

Soon after, Arizona replied.

'Look up and to your right.'

Following Arizona's directions, I looked up and to my right, to see her standing outside of the ice cream shop, looking as adorable as I've ever seen another human.

I couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of my lips.

"Dr. Robbins, are you stalking me?" I tease her when she walks in.

"I should ask you the same thing." she says, walking over to where I was standing at the counter.

After a few seconds of silence, I ask, "Are you busy? We can get some ice cream, maybe take a walk?"

She looked like she wanted to say yes, but something was clearly holding her back. Before she could answer, I cut in "Am I really that bad that you don't wanna get ice cream with me?" I say, playing like I'm offended. That earned me a giggle from Arizona.

"No, it's not that at all, it's actually the opposite." she mumbled the last part, but I heard it perfectly clear.

"Then c'mon, make my day." I say with a smile.

With that, Arizona smiled, showing off her dimples and agreed.

After she ordered her ice cream we began walking.

"So, Arizona, like the battleship what were you doing down here, besides stalking me?" I ask.

"Okay, one, are you always gonna add that 'Like the battleship' to my name?" she asked with a laugh and I shrug as she continues. "Two, I was certainly not stalking you, Calliope, I was over there picking up some things for my nephew's turtle." she says pointing across the street to the Monster Pet.

"Oh cool, I had a turtle when I was 4. The funny thing is, I have no idea what happened to it, it kinda got lost when we moved here." I laugh.

"Oh, you're not from Seattle?" she ask, as we crossed the street, going in the direction of the park.

"No, I was born in Mexico. Mazatlan, Sinaloa. My family to Miami when I was 4 and came to Seattle as an intern and I've been here since." I tell her.

"Oh, that's awesome. You speak Spanish, yeah?" Arizona asked me.

"Yupp."

"Say something!" she excitedly asked and I couldn't help but smile at her child like enthusiasm.

"Like what?" I ask her.

"I don't know, anything." she says.

"Ok…ummm…Creo que eres hermosa. Y probablemente no debería decir esta última parte, pero me gustas tu." I tell her.

She smiles at me, "What'd you say?"

"Ha. That's for me to know and for you to find out." I say "Ever heard of Google Translate?" I joke.

"Say it again." she said and I repeated myself.

"Why'd you have me say it again?" I ask, curious, not even realizing that she had pulled out her phone.

"I recorded it and I'm gonna put Google Translate to use later." she said like it was the most obvious answer in the world.

I started to get a little nervous, she already feels a little bad for hanging out with me when I have a girlfriend, she probably won't want to be around me now.

"You can't do that!" I say, almost too quickly.

"Why not?" she asks.

"You just can't." I say.

"Well, are you gonna tell me what you just said?" she asked.

"No."

"Well then, Google Translate it is." she says with a small smile.

We make our way to a bench in a park I sometimes go to.

"This is nice," she says, "There is another part not too far from here that I found a while ago. It's really peaceful out there. There are some bushes in the far corner of it that no one really pays attention to but behide them is a small bench over looking Seattle, it's really amazing." Arizona tells me.

"Yeah?" I ask. "You'll have to take me there someday."

"Hmm, maybe. You've gotta be pa-retty special for me to take you there." she says.

"I'm sure I can pass that test." I say winking, she laughs. "So, tell me about you."

"What do you want to know?" she asks, turning fully towards me on the bench, but still granting me my personal space.

"Umm, I don't know, you and Tim seem pretty close. Is he your only sibling?"

"No, I have two little brothers who are twins." she says. "Yeah, Matty and Adicen are 17."

"Oh, I have a really good friend named Addison!" I tell her. "Are all of you guys close like you and Tim are?" I ask, honestly wanting to know. I find myself wanting to know more and more about her.

"Well, we're all pretty close. Me being the only girl, the three of them are protective over me even though I'm the oldest. It's funny, really. How about you?"

I laugh, thinking to how protective my sister Aria and I are of our older brother. "Well, unlike you, I'm the youngest. Not by much, though. My sister Aria and I are 2 years apart, and My brother Cruz and I are 4 years apart. We're all pretty close, not as close as you and Tim though."

"Yeah, Tim and I have this weird bond. I think maybe it's because it was just us for a while before my parents had the twins and we became really close with us jumping from place to place and all that." she tells me.

I was just about to ask what she meant when she said they jumped from place to place when my phone rang.

"Sorry, I have to take this." I tell her with an apolgetic smile, she nods in understanding.

"Callie Torres." I say. In the middle of my conversation, I see that Arizona's phone rang too and she's also talking to someone. After finishing my call, she ends hers a few seconds later.

"I gotta go."

"I have to leave." we both say in unison.

Laughing a little, I remembered that she's also a surgeon and ask, "Was that your job? I just got called in, there was a—"

"Big pile up on the freeway, yeah." she finished for me. "I got called in too, all hands on deck."

"We should get going then." I say, standing up, putting my hand out to help her off of the park bench.

We quickly get back to the ice cream shop where her car is parked across the street.

"We should do this again." I say, all of a sudden nervous.

"Yeah definitely…now go fix some bones. I'll talk to you later." she said.

"Alright, go save some little people." I say and she pulls off, going to Seattle Presbyterian and I jog around the corner to SGMW, ready to work.

A/N: ^^ Translation: I think you're beautiful . And I probably shouldn't say this last part, but I like you.
