Hello again! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. FYI I am not a medical professional nor do I know anything about medicine beyond like, basic first aid. SO the procedure outlined last chapter is made up and probably a very bad idea. Don't try it at home, y'know?

Anyways, here we go! Give me reviews - tell me how you feel. I can't wait to hear from you.

Chapter 6

"I want to be with you Arizona."

The blonde felt her eyes prickling. Her heart swelled. Suddenly Amelia's presence overwhelmed her yet again. She felt herself getting drunk off the other woman's scent. Her eyes held Arizona in place, weaving their way into her soul and rendering her unable to speak.

I want to be with you too.

"Arizona?" Amelia's voice sounded small, childish now. She shuddered as she considered the possibility that Arizona didn't want to be with her, that she had just put herself on the line for nothing.

The other woman sensed this, immediately wanting nothing but to wrap Amelia in her arms and kiss all of her fears away. Instead, she took one step forward. Reaching her hands out to grasp Amy's, she took another one.

Finally, standing squarely in front of this new, scary possibility, Arizona spoke.

"I want to be with you too."

Amelia almost didn't believe what she was hearing. She didn't know why, but she had expected Arizona to walk away, tell her to find someone else. But instead she was here, unbelievably soft, warm hands fitting perfectly in her own. Telling her she wanted to be with her. Arizona Robbins wanted to be with Amelia Shepherd.

"You do?" Her voice still sounded so small, but hope had wriggled its way in.

"I absolutely do, Amelia. I want nothing more than to be with you."

Amelia fell into Arizona's arms, encouraging the woman to wrap her arms around her back and pull her flush against her body. Amy tucked her face into Arizona's hair, inhaling her sweet scent, allowing herself to be overcome. She felt safe here, like she could fall asleep and finally rest her tired eyes. She felt herself dozing when Arizona's gentle voice brushed against her ear.

"Are you on call tonight?" She asked softly.

Amelia nodded and Arizona sighed. "You need to sleep, Amelia."

"I know," she said quietly. She wanted to sleep, but she wanted to sleep wrapped up with Arizona. The thought of her going home after the day they'd had hurt her heart. Even though she knew that eventually, Arizona would have to leave and Amelia would undoubtedly have to stay at Grey-Sloan.

"Come on," Arizona broke into her thoughts as she pulled back. She intertwined her fingers with Amelia's and pulled her towards the door.

"Where are we going?" Amy asked, allowing herself to be lead through the halls. This floor of the hospital was quiet at this time of night, with only a few nurses doing room checks. Arizona expertly avoided any prying eyes as she pulled Amelia into an on call room and locked the door.

Amelia raised her eyebrows at Arizona, surprised by her forwardness.

Arizona caught the brunette's expression and laughed. "Lay down, Amelia. You need to sleep."

"So this isn't...?"

Arizona laughed again, "Did you want it to be?"

Amelia blanched. "I mean, I don't – I just – I'm not – "

Rolling her eyes, Arizona tugged her towards a bed. She set down her purse and pulled back the blankets, letting Amelia slide beneath them before lying down beside her. "This is all I wanted," Arizona said quietly. They both laid on their sides, facing one another. Arizona brushed a rich chocolate lock behind Amelia's ear, smiling as the woman hummed at her touch.

"Get some sleep," Arizona said.

Amy leaned forward, kissing Arizona gently before snuggling into her chest.

"Good night, Arizona," she breathed.

Arizona kissed the top of Amy's head. "Good night, Amelia."

But she was already fast asleep.
