I sincerely apologize for the fact that this is almost 500 words less than it should be. But, I was told that it was "perfect" and that I should post as is. I'll let you guys be the judge of that, though. Enjoy!

Callie's eyes shot open suddenly at the sound of the door. For a moment she lay blinking in the bright light that flooded the room from the hospital corridor. Then finally she looked up at who had interrupted her sleep.

At first, Callie couldn't tell who it was. The way the light was shining from the behind, all Callie could see a dark silhouette. She guessed it was male. Then he entered the room more fully, closing the door and turning on the lights. Callie sat up quickly, nearly hitting her head on the top bunk.

"George?" George jumped in surprise, turning to Callie, who he didn't notice was in there until she had spoken.

"Callie? What are you doing here so early?" he asked.

"What are you doing here so early?" Callie retorted.

"I asked first," George said with a grin. Callie rolled her eyes.

"Alright, fine," she began reluctantly. "Arizona and I…things haven't been too good for a few weeks now. We had a really big fight last night, and I ended up sleeping here."

"Arizona…that's your…girlfriend?" George confirmed. Callie nodded, ignoring the way in which George had sad the word 'girlfriend'.

"She wants kids," Callie admitted. George looked confused.

"So?" he asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed next to Callie. "I thought you wanted kids?"

"Yeah, I did…I guess I still do, but…don't you…don't you think it would be weird? Especially for the kid," Callie confided. She was embarrassed by her thoughts and looked down, away from George.

"Callie," George said. There was a harsh tone in his voice that made Callie look at him. Don't you ever be ashamed to be who you are—"

"I'm not—" Callie began to interrupt, but George didn't let her.

"Even if you're not, you sure are acting like you are. Look, you want the truth? Yes, it will be weird. But, does that really matter to you? Are you going to lose Arizona over a little bit of awkwardness? I know you Callie, you're stronger than that."

"Thank you George," Callie finally whispered. She gave him a quick hug, which he returned with one arm. "So…why are you here so early?" Callie asked after a while. George groaned, clearly thinking he'd been let off the hook.

"Well…Mark slept over last night me and Lexie's last night. I didn't get much sleep," he laughed. "I decided to come in early and try to get some rest before my shift. I really hate to say this, because I love Lexie, she's like my best friend, but…I really can't wait for her and Mark to move in together."

"I know, me too," Callie agreed, joining in George's laugh. "I'm tired of seeing them going at it all over the hospital." The next half hour or so was spent laughing and joking. For a moment, Callie was reminded of the old days when she and George were dating. But then it was over and Callie had to get ready for her shift.

"Thank you so much George," Callie said from the doorway. "I think you may have just saved me."

"Anytime," George replied with a smile.

…

"Hey. Can I talk to you for a second?" Callie asked nervously. Arizona snapped shut the chart she had been reading with unnecessary force. She turned to face Callie with red-rimmed, unhappy eyes. When she didn't speak, Callie continued talking. "I've been thinking…about what you said last night…about how you were going to do this, no matter what, whether you had my support or not…." Still, Arizona said nothing. "I love you Arizona, and I don't want to lose you over some stupid reason that makes sense to no one but me. I don't want to lose you because I'm ashamed…or acting like it. Really, I just don't want to lose you. Because I love you. A lot. So I'm going to support you with this decision. And every decision you ever make." Callie waited with bated breath for Arizona's reaction. Finally, Callie's words seemed to register with Arizona. Her features softened and Callie saw that her beautiful eyes were shining with tears.

"Do you really mean that?" she asked in a whisper. Callie nodded.

"Every word." Arizona threw her arms tightly around Callie.

"Thank you. Thank you so much Callie," she breathed. Callie could tell that she was crying silently.

"Are you kidding? I'd do anything for you Arizona," Callie said. Arizona laughed.

"I love you Callie," Arizona mumbled into Callie's neck.

I don't want you, I need you
I don't care for you, I love you
I'll be there for you because of you
I'll do anything for you, you, you
I'll do anything for you
I'll do anything for you, you, you
I'll do anything for you
