Chapter 8: Stoking The Fire
Callie's POV Present Day September 21 9:15 a.m.
Callie could feel explosive pain shoot throughout her body as she regained consciousness. Opening her eyes slowly she attempted to take a deep breath but as she inhaled a sharp pain rocketed through her right side. She wasn't able to move her right side of her body without excruciating pain. Tears slowly began to fall as she began to recall what happened. Steps, falling, Arizona. Wait, Arizona, she needed to get out of here. She couldn't hurt her this way, not like this. Thinking of Arizona helped to clear the remaining cloudiness from her rattled psyche. Instinct and training took over. First she took in her surroundings. She was underneath something heavy. Feeling around with her left arm as best she could judge it was some sort of cabinet, which left a foot of space on either side of Callie. Her helmet was knocked off, and she felt the warm blood dripping down her cheek. Switching on her flashlight, she cocked her head to the left and saw a dim light through what look to be a pile of debris. Next Callie tried to assess her injuries. She knew at very least she had broken most of the bones on her right side of her body. She was able to move each of her extremities, but it caused incredible pain to her right arm and leg. Her abdomen was burning, and she felt very cold.
"Fuck, FUCK, FUCK ME!" Callie screamed, losing her breath in the process. She calmed herself down, thinking of her, Arizona. She wouldn't give up, not yet, not when she was so close to all her dreams coming true. Callie grabbed her radio and switched to the primary channel.
"Torres to Command, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY"
"Command to Torres, go ahead with your Mayday." It was Chief Webber answering her.
"Torres to Command, I'm trapped under heavy debris. Last position was the stairs on C Division in between the 1 and 2 floors. I've got multiple fractures and I believe some internal injuries. I will need immediate assistance." Callie began to cry with all the pain and thoughts of never seeing Arizona again.
"Command to Torres, hang in there Torres, we have crews coming to you. Just keep talking, switch to Channel 5."
Callie reached down and switched her radio. "Command, Torres is on 5."
"Callie, it's Mark, how ya doing gal?' The sound of Mark's voice made Callie cry even more. At least he got out in time.
"Mark, I'm hurt real bad. I really fucked up royally didn't I?"
"No, no Torres, you listen we are coming, do you hear that? We are coming and don't you dare give up! You've already screwed up my birthday surprise for ya, so don't you go and do anything stupid like give up. Just keep talking to me." Mark was attempting to calm her but she became overwhelmed and began sobbing. "Callie, we have the pack tracker, we got you Callie, and we are just on the other side of the wall, just a few more minutes Callie."
"Mark, I need you to do me a favor." Callie knew that asking her best friend this next thing was going to freak him out, but she had to let Arizona know how she felt, if she didn't make it. "Tell Arizona that I have loved her from the first moment I saw her. She captured my heart with her smile, and dimples, and endless perkiness. She is everything to me. Tell her I never wanted her to have to see the red car pull up, to have you guys tell her I wasn't coming home. To have to see the flag draped coffin. Promise me you'll stay with her Mark, she won't be able to handle this. Make her continue living for me. Please Mark, just make sure she lives." Callie's breathing was becoming more and more shallow and she felt the blackness creeping in, surrounding her.
"Callie, Callie, damn it Callie, you're going to tell her yourself..." Mark's voice faded away leaving nothing but quiet.
She needed to know Arizona would live. As she felt everything fading away, suddenly there was a bright light, and the most beautiful eyes she ever saw.
ARIZONA'S POV 1 YEAR AGO
Arizona began by placing herself behind Callie and lightly rubbing her back. She continued to rub her hands around to Callie's stomach, feeling her breath quicken she began to lift her shirt. Arizona couldn't believe how firm Callie's stomach was, lingering her feather light touches there for a bit. As she began to feel Callie's pulse rate speed up, she raise the shirt hem up using one hand, stopping right below her breasts. Using her other hand she raised Callie's arm holding onto her sleeve. Callie slid her arm out and turned to face Arizona. Arizona felt a wave of uncontrollable desire ripple through her as Callie's eyes met hers. She could see the dark lust in Callie's eyes. Finishing taking the shirt over her head, Arizona gently eased the garment over Callie's injured shoulder, placing her lips on the black and blue contusion.
"Arizona, please" was all Callie was able to get out before Arizona placed her hand on her cheek and began a sensual kiss. Slowly Arizona traced the Latina's lips with the tip of her tongue finding her lips to be silky soft. Callie moaned and parted her lips to allow access to Arizona. What began as an exploration soon turned into passions exploding within the women. Arizona was the first to need air, and moved back only to place her forehead against Callie's.
"Wow, umm, like yeah wow!" Arizona stated.
"I was waiting all night for you to do that." Callie smiled as she confessed.
That was all it took for Arizona to lose control. She crushed her lips back onto Callie's both of their tongues fighting for control. Arizona's hands wound into Callie's raven locks pulling her closer, deepening the kiss. Pushing her backwards, Arizona laid Callie on the bed, careful of her shoulder. After removing her shirt Arizona laid down beside Callie, continuing where she left off. She began by kissing a trail from her lips down to her neck, stopping to nip and lick her pulse point, which elicited a deep moan from Callie. Arizona continued a lazy exploration of Callie's upper torso, nipping her way down to those sweet breasts. She pushed herself up on her hands and straddle Callie, and removed her bra all in one motion. Smiling down at her, she couldn't imagine heaven being any better than this moment.
Arizona was brought back to reality by a voice standing at the bedroom door.
"Seriously? Really, you and Roller girl? Now I know why she can call you Calliope." Cristina just shook her head and head towards her bedroom. Arizona looked back down at Callie who was hysterically laughing. What a way to kill a moment Arizona thought to herself.
Looking down at Calliope, I smiled hiding my obvious blush from having Cristina walk in on us. Callie suddenly stopped laughing and her face returned to the lustful glare.
"Arizona, where were we?" Callie's voice was dripping in pure sex.
Arizona looked into those brown pools and immediately felt warmth travel through her body. She smiled and leaned in to capture the Latina's lips in another searing kiss. This time neither woman gave in to each other's attempt for dominance. Arizona grabbed Callie's arm and brought it up above her body, flattening her own body on top of Callie's. Callie moaned and began to move her hand towards the blonde, when Arizona pulled back from their kiss.
"Keep. It. There." Arizona said as she kissed a trail down Callie's neck. Callie moaned in pleasure.
Arizona continued biting, marking this beautiful woman as hers and licking the pain away. She came back to the spot she was before she was interrupted. Her mouth was dry at the sight and she licked her lips in anticipation of capturing the sensitive nipple of the Latina. Sensing the effect she was having, she moved her tongue over to the other nipple, licking and raking her teeth over it.
"Arizona, baby, I need more, I need to feel you." Callie pleaded.
Arizona almost came right then but she settled back and unbuttoned the Latina's jeans, pulling them and her panties off at the same time. She could smell the intoxicating scent of Callie's sex. Her heat was radiating through Arizona's own body. Arizona quickly discarded the rest of her clothing and basked in the feel of their naked bodies touching for the first time.
"Tell me what you want Calliope. I need to hear you say it." Arizona was now kissing Callie's inner thighs, teasing the larger woman. Callie was lifting her hips off the bed willing Arizona to touch her where she needed it most.
"Please, Arizona, Eat Me, Fuck Me, I can't take any..." but before Callie could finish Arizona parted her folds and breathe in deeply. Beginning with light kisses, she kissed her way around the place where Callie needed it most. Callie let an animalistic growl rumble through her as Arizona finally took a long swipe through her dripping sex. Slowly she touched her tongue to her clit, enjoying the jolts of pleasure rippling inside Callie. Finally sensing that if she didn't give into the Latina, she might spontaneously combust, she began plunging her tongue deep into her heated core. Feeling the muscles contracted she began swirling her tongue over the sensitive nub, and pushed 2 fingers deep inside Callie. Speeding up the rhythm of Callie's rocking hips, it only took a few moments to feel the first waves of Callie's orgasm slam into her.
"Fuck, Arizona! Ariiiiizoooonnnaaaa!" Callie screamed as the orgasm overtook her body. Callie pulled Arizona up to lie beside her and began running her hand through Arizona's sex.
"God Arizona, you are so wet." Callie stated as she entered Arizona. Arizona gasped and relaxed to allow Callie to bring her to what she has been waiting for all week, feeling Callie's fingers inside her, bringing her to the brink of what she thought was surely death; Callie grazed her thumb over Arizona's bundle of nerves creating the quakes of the impending orgasm. Hitting the G spot Callie sped up slamming her fingers deeper into Arizona. Arizona reached down and matched Callie's pace after pushing into the tanned Latina. Callie moaned out in sweet heavenly pleasure. Continuing the ministrations on her clit with her thumb and curling her fingers Arizona brought Callie to another mind-blowing orgasm, at the same time Arizona cried out Callie's name with hers.
Both women stared into each other's eyes, knowing the tenderness and emotion being displayed. Arizona slid her fingers out of the sweat drenched Latina. Lifting her hand back up to her mouth, Arizona licked her fingers clean and took Callie's lower lip into her mouth, tracing and nipping until Callie opened and tasted herself on Arizona's tongue. Arizona smiled showing all her dimples, when she finally saw Callie open her eyes.
"Oh. My. God. That was the most intense, mind-blowing sex, I have ever had. Like Ever." Callie slowly punctuated each word.
ARIZONA'S POV September 21 9:38 a.m.
Being brought out of her daydream, Arizona realized her pager was going off. 911 from the ED, she read as she shook the thoughts of Callie and hers first time together. She splashed some cold water on her face in the bathroom and began to make her way to the ED.
As Arizona rounded the corner she saw utter chaos in front of her. Bailey and Meredith were running towards the Trauma Bay and Teddy was running towards her with a look of sheer terror. Behind Teddy she watched as the Trauma Doors opened and she saw Cristina and Lexie bringing someone in on a stretcher. Bags of fluids were hung, and there was blood covering the Medics. It was until Mark came into view that Arizona stopped breathing. In that moment, she knew who was on the stretcher. She felt herself break into a full sprint, crashing into Teddy. Pushing past Teddy, she saw all her fears coming true. Her Calliope was on the stretcher. She saw the ET tube, the BVM being squeezed by Cristina. She saw Mark, with tears in his eyes. She saw the mass of firefighters begin to flood the ED. She saw all of it, but only heard the one sound she never wanted to hear. The steady beep of the monitor
