Chapter 2 - Confession

"Do you think we should ...intervene they're not talking?"

Teddy asks Callie as they both stare through the open blinded window to the doctor's lounge at both Maura and Arizona sitting opposite each other not saying a word, Arizona looking around awkwardly and Maura fiddling with her hands.

"no that is definitely not a good idea believe me when Arizona gets mad she gets mad and if this sister of hers is anything like her then there will be a explosion"

Callie responds arms crossed and looking concerned for her girlfriend. Teddy nods and continues to watch also. Callie then looks over at Bailey walking to the door and attempt to open it.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you there are major issues going on inside"

She states gaining a confused look from Bailey. Teddy looks over and points to the window at the two doctors who are still sitting in silence.

"Arizona's got a sister and by the looks of it they are in no way close...or they were its something to do with their brother you know the one Arizona mentioned who died"

She explains before looking at Callie who is giving her a shut up look knowing Arizona wouldn't want everyone knowing her business least of all about her brother.

"What? It's Bailey she won't say anything ..."

She responds to the look getting an okay nod from Callie.

" okay you know what I'm going in, I'm not going to stand out here waiting for them to vacate so I can get my lunch out the fridge I have to remove an appendix in half an hour and by the look of them they are going to be in there ..Years!"

Bailey explains and heads straight for the door walking in followed by the worried doctors who keep their distance by standing in the doorway and watching Bailey. Bailey looks over at the two sisters and gives a little smile and says "hi" before going straight to the fridge. The two sisters nod in acknowledgment and in Unison. Realising the tension Bailey stops in her tracks and looks at them again.

"Well are you going to introduce me to your friend?"

Bailey asks getting straight to the point causing Arizona to go wide eyed and put on the spot.

"Erm...this is ...she...this is Maura...my sister"

Arizona finally manages to get out. Bailey extends her hand out to the anxious looking doctor who accepts her hand.

"Nice to meet you I'm Dr Bailey general"

Maura gives a little smile.

"I...I'm a doctor too but for dead people...I'm the chief medical examiner at Boston's PD..."

She informs then looks over at Callie and teddy still standing in the doorway.

"...and I guess you are all wondering what I am doing here and why Arizona and I don't talk and that it has something to do with Tim.." Arizona at this point butts in.

"You never guess..."

She states giving her sister a small smile for the first time.

"Usually ...depends on the situation...I mean if it's work and it's a guess on a murder or something to do with the diagnosis of a body then I don't like to guess even if a reddish brown stain clearly looks like blood I have to check with the labs first before I decide on the next form of protocol"

Maura explains going into her Google mouth causing Arizona to laugh at the responsive looks from the fellow doctors in the room who are holding shocked wow faces.

"Oh...sorry Jane usually tells me when to...stop"

Maura looks over embarrassed at her outburst. Bailey walks back over to the door and pushes the two doctors out the doorway taking it as their queue to leave as the ice is finally broken.

Maura looks up at Arizona who is now looking back.

"I wanted to explain and to say I'm sorry some ...issues have come about and it's made me realise that certain things aren't as important as other things..like family...I wanted to help him I really did but when I got told that it was nothing to do with him being sick but someone killed him and it was the MO of certain...criminal I couldn't do the autopsy knowing that the reason he was lying there was because my biological father put him there"

At this revelation Arizona frowned.

"What do you mean your father?"

Maura looks at Arizona fiddling with her hands again.

"Patrick Doyle is my biological father ...he had Tim working for him and got him caught in the crossfire ...someone set Doyle up using his MO so it looked like Doyle killed him...but after I found out he didn't it was an old enemy..I knew who Doyle was when Tim needed his autopsy but...I couldn't do it because everyone who...was related to Doyle seemed to be some monster criminal and I...I could be the same ..Tim deserved better care than having the daughter of the man responsible for causing his death deal with the situation".

Looking down at her fiddling hands Maura closes her eyes a sec to get rid of the watery eyes she had gained. Arizona picks up on this and leans over taking her hands to stop her fiddling and feeling sorry for her sister as she never knew the whole story. Maura looks up letting a tear go causing Arizona to stand up and go over to her giving her a hug.

"None of this is your fault and you are nothing like him...and Tim did right to look up to you, you always think of others before yourself I couldn't ask for a better sister"

Arizona confesses continuing to hug her.
