Two days after their separation, Callie and Arizona met again at a board meeting.
In these last two days only sent messages to see who would stay with Sofia. Arizona tried to speak several times but her ex did not wanted to hear, it was very painful.
"Thank you all for coming, this will be really quick. I just want to inform that we have the funds for her research, "said Dr. Avrey just entered the room.
"just like this? Without a vote? " Callie was surprised ..
"Well if you want that we vote ..." He asked each of the members and all agreed. Callie was happy, she had expected this for a long time.
"Dr. Robbins? "
"Congratulations Calliope, be a rock star and make us proud" Arizona saw the happiness of her wife and wanted to share it as a family. But that was not possible.
"Ok, all go to work. Dr. Torres wanna talk to you "
When everyone left, Jackson explained that the funds would be available in about two months and they were going to hire a new attendin to help her. This new doctor was the son of a founding member Harper Avrey, he was young but had studied in the best places. Callie was not sure, thought that this dr would want to impose his ideas and was not very happy about it ... but at least had the funds for the regeneration of cartilage and that was a good thing.

Arizona was in the cafeteria eating lunch with Sofia when Lauren sat at the same table
"Hey!"
"How's your nose?"
"It's been better, can we talk?"
"I'm with my daughter now ..."
"Arizona i like you, a lot ..."
"I want my family back"
"Your wife does not talk to you!"
"She needs time, I need to fix all the mess I've made. Whatever you and I did was a mistake. No will return to repeat"
"Sorry to hear that, in a few hours I take the plane. you Already have my number and Know where to find me. If you want to see me I'll be in the city for three hours"
"I have a surgery. Bon Voyage" Arizona wanted to leave, but did not want anyone to see her talking to her, much less in front of Sofia. Finally Lauren went, hoping that at some point Arizona will call her.
But that never Happend

The weeks went by and everything was improving slowly. Alex had become a good friend of Arizona and was worried about her. Meanwhile Callie missed his best friend, Mark would have been helpful in this situation but she remembered the words that mark had told her once walk tall Torres, your only sin is to love.
The relationship between them had changed, Arizona was very sorry but did not want to push Callie, who had already passed through the stage of pain ... now she was resigned and had no strength to fight for the couple. In the latter chose to disregard time talking to Arizona only for work or in relation to their daughter. And was not having to deal with cases in pediatrics.

Callie left the hospital early because her last surgery was suspended and had the day free tomorrow. So she went with Sofia to her house for dinner early, playing with her daughter and perhaps tomorrow take her to the park. Callie enjoyed much those free moments to be with Sofia, tried to go out and have fun with she.
When they were about to enter the building her phone rang, and as she knew that she had no signal inside'm talking at the door with his father, he wanted to know about his granddaughter. As she was finishing the conversation, a boy of about 3 years ran from the building and pushed Sofia who fell to the ground and began to mourn.
"Daddy I have to go, Sofia is crying. i will call you back. I love you!" Keep the phone in the portfolio and raised her daughter "is just a scratch Sof, its all right .."
"Lucas! Come here" The voice was heard from the hallway. So Callie took the boys arm and entered to the lobby of the building. Just entered she saw a woman of about 30 years, curly brunette with amazing hips and bust! She was dressed in a sporty but it looked beautiful. Her eyes were shrimps, piercing eyes and thick lips
"You hurt her? How many times have I told you not go running! she okay? I'm so sorry ... "
"It was just a shock, I'm Callie" She said shaking her hand
"Good, I'm Victoria, and I know Lucas, Lucas with C. .." and gave her one of her best smiles "We are moving. And whats your name sweety? "
"Sof" said shyly
"She is Sofia with f, a pleasure to meet you."
"Umh you are hot, you want a coffee one day? I live in the 404 i'm free this week so you can go anytime. I am very good at cooking and I have many movies for kids that you'll love Sofia" Victoria has her mouth open, the woman who had in front was beautiful, and that smile! Surely she could get anything with that smile .. She looked tired but she could tell that Callie was a great woman. Her eyes looked pain and Victoria wanted to know what happened to that woman. Many thoughts went through her mind, and she realized thats he had talked more. Why she told her that she was hot! to shame!
"Umm, i ..."
"Sorry! Surely you're married or something, sorry daring. You should not even be gay! Fuck ... When I get nervous i used to talk a lot .." Victoria was very nervous and thought she had ruined the situation
"Yay, okay. I love to go out for coffee with you, and you are so kind when you're nervous. We have to go! Victoria See you soon, bye buddy "
They went to her house and Callie started making dinner while Sofia was watching a could not get that woman who had crossed of her mind. Still not ready for dating, she still love Arizona but having a good time with Victoria would be a good idea. She needed a friend, someone to trust.

"You sure do not want to come to my house, I have a room for you. I live with Yang is not much fun but I think you need to get away from Callie. I like Sophia, you can bring as long as you want . Besides live in Marks cant be nice to you" Karev tried to convince her. Arizona knew that was insane live a few feet away from her ex. He knew that nights were the worst and so she worked on nights. And before she leave the hospital, she had lunch with Sofia. She wanted to take her to the park but her daughter was quicksand and was afraid of not being able to keep up so she opted for quieter outings like going out for ice cream or a movie.
"Thanks but I want to be near my daughter, but the truth that the house is full of memories. i'll Think about it ok?"

Callie had the day off, and as she could only think of Victoria decided to go visit her. Under the stairs with Sofia and hear the loud music and a woman singing in Spanish .. knock the door but nobody answered, she opened it and saw that beautiful woman clad only in a shirt that surely wore pjs and tiny short. She was singing while ordering some books and preparing breakfast. Callie was left watching her and listening intently to song lyrics ..
Hoy mi corazón a la mitad (Today my heart in a half)
te llama a gritos y no estas. (shouts and calls for you and you're not here)
Juraste amarme y te rendiste (You vowed to love me and you gave up)
y hoy duele sentir (and i feel so hurt today)
que ya no tengo alas sin ti. (I have no longer wings without you.)
Regrésame el alma, el aire, la calma, (Give me back the soul, the air, the calm,)
devuélveme la mitad de mi. (give me back the half of my.)
No doubt this woman also had a broken heart. Maybe they could help each other without needing to get involved romantically. They could be good friends? She needed her, needed words of encouragement, a hug and someone to lend a shoulder to mourn.
