Chapter 25: Explanations (Part 2)

"I feel so stupid!" Arizona put her head down on the table.

"You're not stupid Arizona you just took things out of context, so what else do you want to know?" Callie said as she put an arm around Arizona.

"You remember when you were talking on the phone and after you hung up and turned around I was there and you asked me how long I had been standing there?"

"Yeah."

"That was a lie. I pretty much heard most of your conversation and it did not sound like you were talking to your dad."

"That's because it wasn't."

Flashback (Callie's POV)

I was walking down the hospital hallway when my phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey Callie it's Melinda Trevor."

"Oh hi!"

"I was just calling to see when you can meet me again to look at the progress so far on the engagement ring."

"I can meet you around six tomorrow. I get off at five." I said as I sighed.

"Are you okay Callie? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong; I just don't like this sneaking around."

"Well you have to sneak around; it's your only choice unless you want Arizona to find out… do you want Arizona to find out?"

"Of course I don't want Arizona to find out. If she found out that I am -" I didn't finish that sentence when I turned around to find Arizona there.

"I got to go, bye," I quickly hung up the phone, "How long have you been standing there?" I asked fidgeting with my phone nervously.

'Oh crap! How much of that did she hear?'

"Not long," Arizona said, "I just got here a few seconds ago."

'Good. She probably didn't hear anything. That was a close one.'

"So… who was that on the phone?"

'Quick! Think of something!'

"Uhm… my father."

"Oh, okay. What did he want?"

'She believed me? Wow, I wouldn't even have believed me.'

"He just wanted to check in, see how everything was going. So what are you doing here?" I asked, wanting to change the subject. I leaned in to give Arizona a quick kiss.

"Just came to visit my amazing girlfriend before my surgery."

"How much more time do you have to spend with said amazing girlfriend?"

Arizona looked at her watch. "About ten minutes."

"So how was your surgery on Katie with Erica?"

I knew they had the surgery and I was worried on how they were going to work together but Karev told me it was fine.

"Fine. We didn't talk to each other much. It's still a bit awkward."

"At least you didn't get into an argument or something."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Alright, that makes sense." Arizona told Callie all the while feeling more and more idiotic as Callie explained everything.

"Okay, what do you want to know next?"

"Well you said you didn't hang out with Erica on Saturday, right?"

"Right."

"Did you hang out with her any day after that? Like outside the hospital?"

"No, why?"

"When you said you were meeting Melinda on Monday I kind of followed you because I thought you were meeting up with Erica."

"You stalked me on Monday?"

"Teddy was there too!" Arizona said as she pointed at Teddy not wanting to get all the blame.

"Hey! Don't drag me into this! It was your idea, I just went along to make sure you didn't do anything crazy… and for moral support."

"So is that why the night before when I walked into our apartment Teddy was glaring at me and you were crying?"

"Yeah. Anyways, we followed you and when we got to the diner, we saw you meet up with Erica."

"Oh that? That was just a coincidence."

Flashback (Callie's POV)

I was on my way to meet Melinda at the diner that I and Mark always go to. When I arrived I was about to open the door to walk in when someone opened the door from the inside as they were leaving. I looked up and was surprised to find Erica staring back at me. I walked in as Erica held the door open for me. I gave her a hug and greeted her.

"Hey Erica. It's a surprise to see you here."

I turned around and looked out toward the street. I had the weirdest feeling that someone had just been watching me but when I looked up and down the street, I didn't see anyone.

"Yeah, it's a surprise to see you here too. Are you looking for someone?"

"What?" I asked her as I turned back around to look at her.

"I asked if you were looking for someone." She asked me as she pointed out to the street.

"No, I just thought that- never mind it's not important."

"Well I'll see you later Callie."

"Yeah, bye."

Then I walked inside to meet Melinda.

"So that's the reason you were avoiding me today? It was because of what you had seen yesterday?"

"Yeah."

"Anything else you want to know."

"Later, when I was coming out of surgery, I heard you talking on the phone and I heard you say something that sounded like you were about to say you were cheating on me. I believe you that you aren't cheating on me but I just need to know what you were going to say."

Flashback (Callie's POV)

I got out my phone and dialed the now familiar number.

"Hey Melinda, it's Callie,"

"Hey Callie! What's up?"

"I'm glad we met up yesterday. It was fun."

"Yeah it was fun."

"So I met up with Arizona earlier today. She had been avoiding me all morning and I finally cornered her and practically dragged her to the cafeteria to have lunch with me. I was so worried that she found out about us. I mean imagine if she found out that I am ch-"

"Wait did she find out?"

"No she didn't know or at least she didn't mention something but I know something is wrong because she claimed she wasn't avoiding me but she was definitely avoiding me… Anyways I have to go so again, I had a lot of fun yesterday.

"So you officially approve of the ring?"

"Yeah it was perfect."

"Great, so I'll bring it over later today."

Okay, bye."

Once I hung up, I went back to work.

"Okay, but then what were you going to say when you said, "I mean imagine if she found out that I am ch-""

"I was going to say "Imagine if she found out that I am choosing a ring to propose to her.""

"Oh."

"Yeah oh but I don't blame you on that one. That definitely sounded like I was going to say cheating on you. Anything else?"

"No that just about covers all your weird behavior. Now you need to explain the kiss with Erica and that comment that Chief Webber made about not wanting to suspend you… oh and why our families are here in Seattle."

"Well I guess I'll explain the part about our family first."

Flashback (Callie's POV)

"Hello?" Daniel Robbins answered the phone.

"Hi Daniel it's me Callie."

"Callie, hello. Let me just put you on speaker phone. Barbara is right next to me."

"Okay."

"Hi dear, how have you been?"

"I've been just fine Barbara."

"What can we do for you?"

"Well sir, I just wanted to let you both know that I finally decided on a ring and Melinda, the seller, is bringing it to me tomorrow so I'm going to propose in the next few days and I want you both there when I do. I already called my parents and they're on their way here. If you both want to be here when I propose to Arizona my father has arranged a private jet to bring you to Seattle tomorrow. Whatever time you want."

"We would love to be there! We are leaving first thing tomorrow!" Barbara said.

"Okay, see you soon."

"We knew that when Arizona called us saying you two were breaking up because she thought you were cheating on her; we had to get to the hospital." Barbara spoke up.

"Yes, even though I specifically told my daughter to hear you out before she did anything drastic." Daniel said as he looked at Arizona.

"That's why you told me to hear her out? Because you knew she was going to propose to me?"

"Yes."

"But you told me it did sound like Calliope was cheating on me."

"I had to say something to stop your mother from revealing the secret. That was the first thing that popped into my mind."

"Now that we got that straitened out let's get on with it. We're getting to the good part." Mark said.

"What does he mean the good part?" Arizona asked Callie.

"Well the reason what the Chief said that he was going to suspend me if I was involved in Erica getting the crap be out of her is because I kind if had already attacked her before.

"What?"

Flashback (Callie's POV)

"Hey Callie."

I looked up from my charting to find Erica coming straight towards me.

"Hey Erica. What's up?"

"I just wanted to see if you wanted to go out to dinner on Friday?"

"Are you serious?"

"What?"

"Erica, you have a girlfriend… I have a girlfriend."

"I dumped her. She wasn't my type."

"You have a type?"

"Yeah… you."

She took a step closer to me.

"Erica! What is wrong with you? I have girlfriend."

"Seriously Callie? How can you even be into her. She acts like a child!"

"Please Erica she's more woman than you will ever be. I love her and I'm going to marry her!"

"What?"

"You heard me. I'm going to propose to her and then I'm going to marry her!"

Before I could react, Erica grabbed me and kissed me. It took me a while to react but when my brain finally processed what was happening I pushed Erica away. I then grabbed her and slammed her against the wall.

"What the fuck is your problem? What part of no don't you understand?"

"Come on baby, you know you want me."

That did it. I pulled my arm back ready to punch her.

"TORRES! What do you think you're doing?"

'Damn! The Chief! I'm in trouble now.'

"Torres, let her go."

I released her and turned to face the Chief.

"Dr. Hahn you can go."

"Thank you Chief."

I watched her walk away all the while wanting to punch her out.

"Torres I can't believe what I just saw."

"But Chief-"

"No excuses. I'm letting you off with a warning but if I see you involved in any fighting while you are in my hospital I will suspend you, understand?"

"Yes Chief."

I felt like I was a kid who just got in trouble with the principal.

"That's why when you attacked her I didn't do anything because I didn't want to be suspended."

"And the kiss that I walked in to?"

Flashback (Callie's POV)

"Hey Callie. How's it going?"

"Get the fuck away from me Erica."

"So where's your childish girlfriend?"

"I said leave me alone!" I yelled.

I noticed people started to gather around.

"Come on Callie don't be like that."

"Erica, leave me alone. I really don't want to kill you right now because if I do I will get suspended."

"Callie just give me a chance. I know you still have feeling for me."

"Erica, read my lips, Never Going to Happen!"

"I'd rather kiss your lips."

Erica pulled me in for a kiss.

'Not again!'

Before I could react I heard the elevator open and someone yell out "What the hell!" I instantly recognized that voice and pushed Erica away.

'This is not good.'

"And you know the rest."

"Callie I'm so so sorry for ever doubting you. Can you please forgive me?"

"It's already forgiven. I understand Arizona, why you thought I was cheating on you. Everything you saw and heard seems pretty suspicious but Arizona understand that I love you with all my heart and I would never cheat on you."

"I know that. I just… I don't know. I didn't want to believe it but everything just started getting to me."

Before anyone could say anything else someone knocked on the door and walked in.

"Oh sorry, am I interrupting something? Callie you sent me a text saying to bring it here but if you're busy I can wait."

"No it's find Melinda. Come in, I want you to meet someone. Melinda this is Arizona, Arizona this is Melinda."

"Callie has told me a lot about you Arizona. She loves you very much."

"I just heard a lot about you to actually."

"Do you have it?" Callie asked Melinda.

"Yes, here." Melinda handed Callie the square jewelry box.

"So I was going to do this differently but seeing as I already told you I was going to propose to you…"

Callie knelt down on one knee and opened the box. In it was a silver engagement band with a sapphire in the middle of it surrounded by small diamonds. It was the most beautiful ring Arizona had ever seen.

"Arizona I love you with all my heart. We've been through a lot this past year. We've had our ups and downs but I never stopped loving you. You saved me that day you walked into the restroom and kissed me. I was miserable but just one kiss from you made me smile. So Arizona… in front of our friends and family will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Arizona had tears in her eyes by the end of Callie's speech.

"Oh Calliope! Of course I'll marry you!"

Callie slid the ring onto Arizona's finger and kissed her with everything she had.
