Callie's Pov:
I was pacing back and forth in the waiting room for the doctors update. I had called my friend Mark who works there to see if he could get an update for me. All kinds of thoughts were flying around in my head. Are my beautiful kids ok? Are they even alive? How's George? This is all my fault and it was like Arizona could read my mind
"You know that this isn't your fault right?" she said and took my hand to calm me down.
"It is my fault! If I hadn't decided to get a divorce and split up the family they wouldn't had been in that car. They would have been safe at home!" I yelled.
"You can't blame yourself for this ok? You can't. This was not your fault. Yes they might not have been in that car if u and George hadn't gotten a divorce but do you honestly think that would have been for the best? Do you regret your decision about us?" she asked.
I sat down in the chair beside her "No of course not. No regrets it's only that…I just…I'm sorry...I'm just scared" I started cry once again. She pulled me closer and held me in her arms "I know you are honey. I know. I'm scared too. I'm sure they'll be just fine" she whispered and kissed me on my forehead. Even if my whole world was falling apart it all felt a little better in her warm and loving embrace.
We sat there for a few more minutes until I saw Mark walking towards us and I jumped up from the chair. "So any news?" I said with a shaky voice and swallowed to prepare myself for the worst. I felt how Arizona came up from behind and took my hand.
"The kids are OK. They just have a few cuts and they'll be stitched up later and they'll get x-rayed and everything to make sure they don't have any broken bones or internals bleedings. So you can breathe now Torres" he smiled.
"Oh my God! Thank you!" I hugged him and then looked at a smiling Arizona.
"See I told you" she said and kissed me. I saw how pale Mark looked "What is it?" I asked. "You are freaking me out Mark. Tell me" I almost yelled
"Its George…" he said. Oh my God George. I totally forgot about him. I've been so focused on the kids. "What about him? Is he OK?" I sat down on the chair again.
"Well he lost a lot of blood before he got to the hospital. And his heart stopped during surgery. He's stable for now but they don't know when he'll wake up. Even if he'll wake up. And even if he do it's impossible to say what kind of damage the complications during the surgery did to him"
"Oh my God!" I whispered. Speechless. I didn't know what to say. Sweet kind George.
"I'm sorry but I don't know more than that Torres" he said and looked at me. I just sat there. I didn't say anything. "Thank you Mark" Arizona said and hugged me once again. Mark turned around and slowly walked away. Even if I wasn't in love with George anymore I still loved him very much. He has been a part of my life for more than 10 years. And he's the father of my children. He has to live. He has to be OK. He has to.
It took a few more minutes before the kid's doctor came. He showed us to their room and I felt such a relief to see them again. "Oh my babies!" I cried when I saw them. I kissed and hugged them and sat down on a chair between their beds. "I don't know what I've done if something would've happened to you two. I love you guys so much" I said and looked at them. "We love you too mom…How's dad?" Sophie asked. "Dad? He…He's…" I don't know what to say I looked at Arizona "He's fine. He's sleeping now. You all are really lucky" Arizona smiled in an attempt to calm the kids down. It worked because they started to smile too. And even if I knew that he's not fine I still felt comforted by Arizona's words.
A few days later…
Callie's Pov:
I sat on the side of George's bed holding his hand. Arizona was home with the kids. George hasn't woken up yet. He's in coma. And they don't know if he'll wake up. I went to the hospital to be there when Louise and Harold would arrive.
"Hey" Harold said when he came into the room. "Hey" I said back and hugged him. "No change?" he asked. "No change" I said and looked at George. "Callie" Louise said. "Hey Louise. How was the flight?" I asked. "Don't" she said with an angry tone. "Don't what?" I said confused. "Try to be all polite and everything. I think you should leave" she said and sat down on the chair beside the bed. "Louise… Stop it! She can stay" Harold said clearly annoyed by his wife behavior. "She left Georgie for a woman. A woman! And she destroyed the family. So no she can't stay!" she yelled. I was stunned. I knew that George mom had a problem with it but I never thought she'd react like this. It's not like I don't still love him. "I love George. I would never hurt him on purpose. But fine I'll go" I said and walked towards the door. "I'm sorry" Harold whispered before I exited the room. Louise had the right to be mad at me so I didn't wanna fight. Not today. Not here at the hospital.
