Chp. 7- I own nothing

The hospital was busy as ever. Arizona felt as if she had ran all over it by 2 in the afternoon. She had already had 2 surgeries and multiple emergencies when 4 rolled around. She was exhausted. Arizona couldn't get everthing her sister had told her off her mind. Arizona was an aunt and there was a little boy out there that was her nephew. She was surprised by everything her sister had told her but the fact that Kate had given up her baby blew Arizona's mind. Kate had always wanted kids and there she was this morning telling her that she had given her son up to save him. Kate had always been the opposite of Arizona. She had always wanted kids when Arizona never did. Kate was so hard headed and stead fast when Arizona was easier to give in (except for when it came to having kids). Arizona was amazed at how different the two of them were, but she was even more amazed how much Kate had grown since the last time she saw her.

About that time Kate came bouncing up to Arizona.

"Hiya!" Kate said.

"Hey! What did you find out about the job?" Arizona asked.

"Well… I have an interview in an hour and… word is I may have a job tonight!" Kate said grinning.

"Wow! Really? Kate that is amazing! Who did you hear that from?" Arizona asked excitedly.

"Well I met with three of the CEOs and uh… is it Dr. Webber? The chief? Yeah ok anyways so I met with them and got done and left and was downstairs talking to Jackson when Webber came up and was talking to me and he said that it looked promising and that I should be excited" Kate answered still grinning from ear to ear.

"Kate! That is awesome… when I get off tonight we will go get drinks!" Arizona said excitedly.

"Uh… pretty sure you've already gotten off once today…" Kate mumbled laughing.

"I am going to ignore that you just said that…" Arizona said picking up a chart and glancing through it. "Kate, I really am so proud of you. And I'm being 100% honest… you seem to have grown up a lot… Kate can I ask you something?"

"Yeah of course Arizona."

"Do you know if someone has adopted your son? I mean is there anyway to find that out or like… what's going on with that?"

"Arizona, he went right into foster care but the social worker said that since he was a baby that he'd probably would be adopted much quicker… why do you want to know this?"

"I just… I was wondering. Ya know? Just curious." Arizona said opening the chart that she had picked up.

"Arizona please do not go looking for him… please. I know that you and Callie argued about kids and broke up and you've just gotten back what you had… please leave it alone…" Kate begged.

"Oh no no Kate it's nothing like that I swear. I was just wondering." Arizona answered. She was being honest. She just wanted to know more about her nephew… she didn't want to go find him. "Ok sis, I've got to go ok? Good luck this afternoon! I'm super excited about it!" Arizona said heading down the hall.

"Thank you! Go… do whatever you're about to do!" Kate said. She had woken up this morning knowing that today would be amazing and it had been.

2 hours later…

"Hey!" Arizona had finally found Callie. Callie had been in what felt like 100 surgeries today and barely had time to talk to her girlfriend.

"Hey! Word around the nurses is your sister got the CEO job…" Callie informed Arizona.

"Oh the same sister who got pregnant and instead of coming home to her family she gave up her son for adoption?" Arizona told Callie who looked at her girlfriend amazed.

"She did what?" Callie could not believe her ears.

"Yeah… she is 23 years old and smart and has a good head on her shoulders and instead packing him up and coming out here and leaving her creep of a husban she gave up her new born son to strangers instead of coming home… Ugh Calliope… she just… she has always done things backwards and I really should have expected nothing less but…"

"Arizona, there is really nothing we could do now ya know? I mean… what would you have done? Honestly…" Callie wondered aloud. She could tell by Arzona's face that she knew the answer to her question. "Oh… so you would adopt your sister's baby… your 23 year old sister who could take care of a baby on her own and support it on her own… but you wouldn't have your own kids… with me. Yeah I get it now."

"Callie you know that's now what I meant… I would have helped her with whatever she needed… no I would not adopt her baby because I want my own kids… our own kids with you." Arizona explained. "It's just she did it thinking that no one would have understood… no one would have helped… but I would have."

"Arizona… she made a decision… don't beat yourself up over her decision." Callie said pulling Arizona to her. "Kate is a big girl… and she made a decision… just leave it at that Arizona… please."

Arizona nodded and pulled out of their embrase. "I've got to go… I get off at 10…" and just like that Arizona was headed down the hall.

Callie could not believe that this had affected Arizona this way. She could tell that she was obviously hurting but Callie had no idea how to fix the hurt.

10:00 p.m.

Callie was sitting in the lobby waiting on Arizona to get off work. She has already decided that shw was going to make Arizona forget about everything that had gone on today. They were going to go home, have dinner, drink some wine and cuddle up with a movie. Neither of them had to be at work till 2 tomorrow so she thought this would be the perfect idea.

"Calliope, you got off at 8, why are you still here?" Arizona walked up behind Callie, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend.

"Well you see there is this blonde doctor that works up in Peds… boy is she hot… I was hoping I could get a glimpse of her before she left work" Calli turned around taking in the blonde woman. "Hmmm… but I think you will do…" She said kissing Arizona. She took her hand and they walked home.

When they got home they both realised that it was fixing to be anything but a quiet night. When they walked in the door they saw Kate, Lexie and April standing up on the coffee table dancing to Basshunter's "All I Ever Wanted". The three of them each held various half drunken bottles of liquor.

"And here we are… back at our frat house..." Callie said closing the door behind them.

"HEY KATE! KATE!" Arizona yelled over the music trying to get her sister's attention.

"YEEEAH?" Kate managed to slur out.

"ISN'T THE MUSIC KINDA LOUD?"

"WHAT?"

"I SAID, ISN'T THE MUSIC KINDA LOUD?" Arizona tried again.

"WHAT?"

"Ugh… never mind." Arizona said defeated. She turned around to say something to Callie only to find her digging through their cabinents. "Calliope what are you doing?"

"Well if you can't beat them… join them." Callie said pulling a full bottle of tequila out from the cabinent.
