Arizona woke with a start, hearing her pager go off and feeling something warm and wet on her arm made her panic until she realized she was just covered in baby drool. Groaning and rolling her eyes as she rolled over to grab her pager and check the time she sighed, it was only 5 in the morning.

She quickly got herself and Kelsie ready to head across to the hospital, silently cursing as she went along; tiny humans were a lot of work and she struggled enough just getting herself ready in the mornings. She sent a quick text to Callie as she got Kelsie settled into her little private room, letting the Latina know that they were now back at the hospital and Arizona would let her know if anything changed.

As she quickly changed and slipped her phone into her pocket, she was off to the tiny human in need and back to trying to ignore the looks and not-so-quiet whispering of other members of the hospital staff. Thankfully, she scrubbed in with her sidekick, Alex Karev, and he let her off the hook by attempting to make small talk throughout the surgery (the best that Karev could come up pretty much just led to them both complaining to eachother about SGMW life problems).

Just as Arizona was about to tell Karev he could scrub out as she finished up a nurse came in to inform Arizona that Kelsie was running a fever and had not stopped crying since Arizona had went into surgery almost two hours ago.

Her initial reaction was to huff out of frustration. It was a PEDs nurse, on the PEDs floor, with a whiney baby with a fever; wasn't that, like, their thing? But then she remembering the tiny human in question and those chocolate brown eyes that looked so much like her mother's, and now she was torn over worrying over little Kelsie and being frustrated with herself for not only crushing on a straight woman, but a straight woman with a child. With a quick glance to Karev, who offered a curt nod, she was quickly scrubbing out and on her way to Kelsie's room.

She wasn't quite sure what she was expecting when she entered Kelsie's room, but it wasn't three nurses. There were two attempting to tend to the upset infant and one giving her a stare down. She rolled her eyes and quickly scooped the tiny human up, cradling her closely and shot a look to the nurses who were shamelessly gawking.

"You're…good with her…" The bravest nurse spoke.

Arizona fought the urge to roll her eyes again and sighed as she angled herself to make sure she was facing all three nurses. "I'm not sure, nor do I care, what you've heard about this," she gestured to her and the child "But I can assure you that she is well looked after. Furthermore, who she is and her story, aren't really any of your business AND well we're on the topic…" She was cut off as a strong hand squeezed her shoulder and she turned her head to see Mark giving her the "don't waste your time" look and sighed.

The brave nurse seemed to narrow her eyes in suspicion before gasping and pointing to Mark "It's his?!" and every set of eyes in the room simultaneously widened.

Arizona shook her head and simply spun on her heels and walk away. Some people just weren't capable of being reasonable.

"It could be, ya know…"

She turned her head to the side where Mark had caught up to her after assigning the nurses somewhere else to be.

"What are you talking about, Mark?" She was confused as what part of the conversation that just happened that he had decided to go along with, or if he was just off in his own world entirely.

"Our kid…"

Her brain may have actually just exploded. Did he really just say that? This day wasn't shaping up to be a very good one, she already knew it. Snapping out of her thoughts as Mark waved his hand in front of her face, she had apparently stopped walking and zoned out.

"I'm sorry, what? Our? Kid? Those words don't go together, Mark." She stared at him and he couldn't get a read on whether she was angry, or still in shock.

"Just think about it, Robbins. I'm hot. You're hot. We're both smart; we're freakin' surgical gods here. We get along great! We clearly have no problem telling eachother how we really feel. And you're great with kids, and I'd be a fantastic Dad, if I do say so myself."

Arizona just scoffed and shot him a "seriously?" look before walking right by him into an on-call room and settled down onto the rather uncomfortable bed with Kelsie lying on top of her so that at least one of them would be able to have somewhere comfy to sleep. Kelsie, who hadn't cried since Arizona had taken her into her arms, just sighed softly and wiggled against her new, nice, warm and soft bed.

Callie sat on the couch in Elis Grey's living room, desperately trying to stay awake. She had cleaned, she had tidied, she even checked the kitchen's contents and came up with some breakfast suggestions for Bailey to make for Dr. Grey in the morning – or later morning, as it were.

She should be sleeping, she wanted so badly to be, but Elis had of course reminded in her (in not so polite terms) that she was to be immediately available should she need anything, and Callie knew that when she went to sleep it would take a lot to wake her back up.

So she sat there, occasionally changing her position or getting up to roam the hallways. She had wanted to text or call Arizona, but she wasn't sure of the blonde's schedule and didn't want to disturb her if she was managing to get some rest. Instead she had downloaded a tonne of apps and games to her phone, courtesy of whichever neighbour was unfortunate enough to have left their wifi password free.

It turned out that it probably wasn't one of her best ideas. Her phone was now dead and she still had hours to go before Bailey would be there to take over. So now it was dark, and quiet, and her eyes kept closing, and her head kept drooping. She was fighting a losing battle.

Waking to a tiny slap to the cheek, she groaned and swatted the air around her head only to be slapped again, and less gently. She opened her eyes to see the short yet almighty Miranda Bailey standing there silently, yet madly, gesturing for her to get her ass up and sure enough, just as Callie made herself as presentable as possible, Ellis Grey's voice echoed down from the upstairs hallway demanding that the breakfast preparations be started. At least she doesn't yell, Callie thought, probably because it would be too unbecoming for the woman who practically considered herself royalty.

Quietly gathering her things and saying goodbye to Bailey, she finally made her way out of the house that had slowly been driving her crazy and towards her adorable little girl and her new gorgeous blonde friend that kept running through her head.

She let her head fall back as she slid into her seat on the bus and suppressed a groan. Her phone was dead. Arizona's address was on that phone. Shit, think, think, think.

Now somewhat confident that Arizona had said she lived just across from the hospital, she hopped on the transfer bus to Seattle Grace Mercy West, hoping to hell that she got the right hospital on the first try. She still didn't know how she was going to find out where Arizona lived, but surely someone could at least confirm if Arizona worked there and when she would be in, right? Maybe someone she used to work with would be there and she could persuade them to help.

Hopping off the bus and walking through the parking lot and into the lobby, she quickly zoned in on a tall blonde doctor that looked familiar, talking to a tall redheaded man and racked her brain for why the woman looked so familiar. Then she remembered, that was the doctor in the picture with Arizona and Kelsie; she had the right hospital!

Refraining from doing a victory dance in the middle of the lobby, she started making her way over to the doctors when something caught her attention and had her stopping in her tracks.

"Robbins and Sloan are having a baby. I so heard it. Right from McSteamy's mouth. The nurses said that the kid she has with her might even be theirs."

"That doesn't even make any sense." Another nurse quickly dismissed the notion.

"Oh please. They're both hot. Both single. It's only a matter of time."

"Either one of them could have any girl they wanted, why would they shack up with eachother?"

Callie shook the thoughts from her head and walked away before she could hear anymore. She didn't even know who this Sloan person was, or why she felt so…so jealous. But she didn't like it and didn't want to hear anymore about it, she knew how hospitals could be, she just had to convince herself that it was all gossip.

She made her way over to the tall blonde doctor just as she was about the leave and asked if she could be directed to Dr. Robbins. Feeling a bit awkward and losing patience as the doctor seemed to be inspecting her and not being the slightest bit subtle or ashamed, she cleared her throat and waited to find out where she had to go.

The other woman seemed to narrow her eyes, held out her hand somewhat cautiously, yet with that confidence that only a doctor or lawyer can possess, "Teddy. Altman. You are?"

Callie nervously wiped her palm against her pant leg and shook Teddy's hand, trying to summon up more courage, but she was just too tired for all of this. "Callie Torres."

Teddy looked like she was waiting for more and then realization dawned on her "Ohhh. Kelsie's Mom?"

Callie beamed with motherly pride and nodded her head and followed Teddy as she spun around towards the elevators and told her to follow.

After walking around the PEDs floor and not finding the blonde they were looking for, or the tiny human in her care. Teddy finally pulled a nurse over and asked where Robbins was, thinking that she might have gone home if she was only on-call today.

Coming to a stop in front of an on-call room, Teddy knocked, only to be greeted with silence. She tried a few more times before finally just taking the risk of opening the door and poked her head in just as her pager went off.

She sighed and gestured for Callie just to go in as she waived and ran off to wherever she was needed.

Callie's heart melted as she walked into the room. Both of her girls looked like angels. She almost sent herself into a meltdown, they weren't her girls, well, one of them was, but that wasn't the point. She groaned and carefully weighed her options; she couldn't stay awake much longer, but she didn't want to wake up Arizona and Kelsie either, she wasn't even sure she could make it home while she was this tired.

She huffed and quietly made her way over to the other bed and slipped her shoes off before lying over the sheets and almost immediately falling to sleep.

Callie jumped when the door of the on-call room flew open. What the…? A tall, muscled man with curly salt and pepper hair barged into the room and flopped onto the small mattress next to Arizona, jostling the blonde and tiny human on her chest. She briefly wondered how Arizona hadn't woken up right away from all that commotion before the man started speaking.

"Robbins, wake up! She's in the hospital! Teddy said she was! Where is she? Does she know you're going to be my Baby Mama yet? How are you still sleeping?"

All she heard on Arizona's behalf was the name "Mark" being groaned before some mumbling.

"What are you even talking about? We're trying to sleep here. Just go away."

"Man, she's here. The mother of the child using you as a bed. Here. In. This. Hospital."

Another groan, and what she was sure sounded like someone getting punched.

"Don't be an a-s-s." Callie couldn't help the smile that spread across her face, realizing that Arizona wasn't even going to say ass around Kelsie. She was finding sleepy Arizona positively adorable and wondered how much of this conversation the blonde would remember when she was more awake. "I'd know if she was here. My hot Latina senses would be tingling. All sorts of tingling. So hot."

Mark laughed and Callie couldn't help but clear her throat before this got really awkward. Thankfully the room was dark enough to hide the blush spread across her cheeks.

Two ridiculously good looking surgeons' heads shot up at the sound and she couldn't help but chuckle at how cute and childish they looked.

Now what?

It's been a while. But I'm catching up. There's just so much to do, and I'm a horrible procrastinator. Thank you to anyone who's still reading! Or even those who read it in the first place. And to pockets004, who's pm gave me a little extra kick to get this out now rather than the end of the weekend.

I know this chapter doesn't seem like much, but it's going to come full circle in a few chapters and then you'll see why this one was needed.

Have a good one, guys! You're all awesome.
