Standing outside Callie's room at the nurse's station, Arizona watches her sleep. After their argument, Arizona had been unable to stay too far away from Callie and just needed to be close to her for peace of mind. Arizona felt physically sick at Callie's complete disregard for what she had said in the letter. Callie had completely shut down, going as far as putting a physically barrier between them by turning her back on Arizona. Callie's action conflicted with her normal actions of wearing her heart on her sleeve. Callie wasn't someone who ignored an issue, but preferred confrontation. But instead Callie had put up walls to keep Arizona out.

'It didn't go well I take it?' Someone asks from over Arizona's shoulder. Turning around, Arizona sees Teddy lean against the counter with her.

'No, she shut me out. Refused to look at me, telling me that we had nothing to talk about. We then proceeded to get into an argument. ' Arizona replies as she watches Callie.

'Maybe she just needs time? This is all probably overwhelming for her. When I returned to the States it took me a couple of weeks to get my head around it. Being back and safe, getting yourself out of the routine and not looking over your shoulder and ducking at every loud noise. And when I got back, I didn't need to be operated on. Just give her time. She clearly is still in love with you or she wouldn't have carried around your letter for all those months. No one else's correspondence got such special treatment.' Teddy says with a grin.

'But she's in pain and I need to comfort her. I can't keep my distance from her when she's in pain. No matter how much she wants that, I just can't.' Arizona replies in a small voice. The two surgeons fall silent as they both watch Callie, a grimace gracing her face either from the pain in her side or whatever she is dreaming of. Soon Bailey comes and joins them at the nurse's counter. She's flipping through a file and her eyes widen in shock when she reads one particular line.

'So, it turns out that Torres made you her legal guardian when medical treatment' Bailey says as she hands the file to Arizona. Arizona reads the page and notes the date of the signature is from before they had broken up. Clearly, Callie had forgotten that she's signed the document and hadn't changed it back. 'As the pages are dated from months ago, I wanted to check with you how you felt about this. Since you and Torres aren't together I'm assuming you don't want me to release her into your care?' Bailey asks the blonde.

'No, release her into my care' Arizona exclaims, an idea forming in her head. Arizona is adamant that she can eventually wear Callie down and get her to open up. Teddy and Bailey wear surprised expressions on their faces as they hear Arizona's comment.

'Do you think that it's a good idea, I mean Torres seems pretty adamant she doesn't want to be anywhere near you.' Teddy questions. 'Or do you have some motive because I'm pretty sure Torres is not going to agree to being released into your care Arizona.'

'Calliope hates being a patient in a hospital. People always so that surgeons make the worst patients, you haven't seen anything until you have seen her as a patient. You remember the chicken pox incident? She hates it, the gowns, the food, everything. She becomes edgy and upset. She'll agree to come home with me because she hates being in hospital so much.'

'So in other words, you are the lesser of two evils?' Teddy asks.

'Essentially yes.'

'I'll start organising the paperwork for Torres to be discharged' Bailey states and walks away from the two best friends, not even bothering to comment on Arizona's want for her ex-girlfriend to be discharged into her care.

'Ok so let me get this straight, your ex-girlfriend who just told you doesn't want anything to do with you, is now going to be released into your care, because she hates hospitals? Arizona, that doesn't sound like a good idea.' Teddy says, giving one last attempt to talk Arizona out of her idea.

'No, it's perfect. I can look after her and talk her around. It'll work Teddy, it has to.' Arizona replies, her train of thought already drawn back to the brunette lying on the bed. Spotting Yang walking towards her, Arizona decides it's a suitable time to ask for the favour she needs.

'Yang, just the person I was looking for' Arizona says in a cheerful voice as she heelies up the hall.

'No, whatever, you want, no' Yang replies not even pulling her nose out of the chart she is examining. Deciding to push further as Arizona hasn't even asked the question yet, Arizona continues to speak.

'So Calliope is going to be discharged soon and as her medical guardian, she's going to be discharged into my care. I was hoping you and Owen could stay at mine. And I could move into yours for the next week or so.' Arizona says quickly pulling out her most charming smile. Yang finally pulls her nose out of the chart, and turns to look at Arizona.

'You want Owen and I to move into your apartment which is 15 minutes' drive from the hospital. Which means I'm never going to get a good cardio surgery. To move into your apartment which is likely to be decorated with prancing unicorns and rainbows so you and Torres can shack up?' Yang asks in an incredulous voice. Feeling her heart sink, Arizona realises that it's highly unlikely that Yang would agree to this.

'It's decorated tastefully to begin with and there are no unicorns or rainbows, and yes, that's exactly what I am asking.' Arizona asks in a hurt voice.

'Ok.' Yang mumbles as she returns to reading the chart.

'What, ok, that's it, I don't need to beg or bribe you with surgeries to get you to agree' Arizona asks, stunned that Yang would agree to this so quickly.

'I'm not a monster Robbins and clearly Torres needs you. I mean who runs off to war anyway. So you can have the apartment. Owen and I were going to start looking for one for ourselves soon, as that's what married people do, apparently. Maybe you can pull Torres out of whatever funk she's put herself in' And with that, Yang turns and walks away. Realising that Callie's won't be discharged until the end of her shift, Arizona returns to the Ped's floor and waits for the end of the day.

'You're what?' Callie exclaims in an annoyed voice as Bailey tells her that's she's to be released into Arizona's care. A scowl graces her face she realises that she will be seeing a lot more of her ex-girlfriend in the foreseeable future. According to Bailey, the hospital will not release Callie unless she is released into someone else's care to ensure she suitably looked after. 'Why not Mark, Yang or anyone else for that matter?' Callie asks, not caring that Arizona hears her refusal to be discharged in her care. 'I don't care, I will not be released into her care.' Callie says in a firm voice, daring someone to challenge her.

'You made Arizona your guardian in regards to medical matters…' To which Arizona pipes up.

'Which I was unaware of.' Bailey, turns and glares at her making anything else she was going to say die on her lips.

'So, as I was saying as Arizona is your guardian, she has agreed to take some time off work and help you recovery. It's either that or you stay in this room for the next ten days or so. No one else can take the time off and since Robbins has agreed, the matter is settled.' Bailey says, returning Callie's glare that she is throwing around the room.

Callie's mind whirls as she considers whether spending time with Arizona is going to worse that spending her time trapped at the hospital. The awkward silences, the pushing Arizona will do to get Callie to open compared to terrible food, uncomfortable bed and gowns. Biting the bullet, Callie agrees to being discharged into Arizona's care. Bailey then leaves the room to sign the discharge papers while Callie refuses to even look in the direction of Arizona.

'I bought some clothes from home for you to change into. And Mark's bringing his car around to drive you back to the apartment.' Arizona says breaking the silence within the room. She hands the clothes to Callie. 'Do you need any help getting changed?' Arizona asks.

'I'm not an invalid' Callie snaps back, already sick of everyone treating her like a cripple.

'Ok, well I'll wait for you outside while you get changed. Just yell out when you are done' She replies as she steps out of the room. Staring at the clothes in her lap, Callie begins to wonder if she can actually get changed. To proud to call Arizona back in, she slowly stands and changes into the outfit Arizona picked out for her. Finally finishing, Callie is out of breath and in pain as she slumps back on her bed. Sucking in deep breaths, Callie hears a knock at the door as Arizona sticks her head in to check on Callie's progress. Noticing that Callie is dressed she steps back into the room, she doesn't comment on Callie's condition. The two women look warily at each other, unsure of what they should say to each other.

'Calliope…'

'It's Callie, actually. I'd prefer I if you called me Callie.'
