"I can't. I can't. I can't." Arizona sat on her bed and looked down at her leg. "I don't want to get nicknames because of my leg, I'll fall down while surgery and kill someone, I can't even run and we have to run. We are surgeons, we run all the time. Running is part of our jobs."

"Honey! Stop, okay," Callie took both of Arizona's hands and squeezed them."You will be fine. No operation for a while until you can stand long enough. No one will call you any names and all of your friends are on your side. Take a deep breath and then get ready." Callie kissed her nose and gave her the prosthesis.

"Will you come and kiss me from time to time?" Arizona pleaded.

"Of course I will. Here, those are twenty kisses for the beginning!" Callie took Arizona's face and kissed her all over. "And now get ready, I'll see you at the hospital!" Callie rushed out of their apartment to tell everyone how to react around her wife so that Arizona would feel comfortable.

It felt good to be back. It felt like a piece of puzzle was with her again. Her heart was racing but she took a deep breath and looked at her list. She looked at her champ list and smiled, took a pencil and marked the sentence that said, "Going back to work!". Another deep breath and finally she walked inside with the stick that she still needed most of the time. She saw Alex and Callie at the counter and walked over to them. "Hi!"

"Heeey, Robbins," Alex said as if it was nothing special that she was here. Callie had told him not to make any comments or irritate Arizona.

"Hey, good, you're here. Well, I got to run!" Callie immediately told her. She had to fix Derek's hand. But of course she gave her wife another kiss.

Alex immediately started telling her about all the patients. She was happy to feel normal again but the girl that followed her with the wheelchair was definitely going on her nerves. She didn't need it. Not at all.

Her day went perfectly fine but her body was killing her. Walking that long without sitting down for a minute was just exhausting.

"Welcome back!" Bailey said and squeezed Arizona's arm.

"Thanks. It's good to be here." Arizona smiled and shrieked when Teddy hugged her tightly from behind.

"Hello, friend," Teddy said and gave her a penny.

"What's that?"

"A penny. It's for fortune." Teddy just said and then looked at her files. Arizona put the penny into her pocket and then took her files.

Callie walked into the cafeteria and waved at her beautiful wife. She came over to her and gave her a soft kiss. "How are you?"

"Good, a little exhausted but in a good way." Arizona admitted.

"I'm proud of you!" Callie said with a mouth full of food "This is so good. I love this food."

"I don't know anyone who'd say the same. You're crazy!"

"Well, you love crazy me!" Callie kissed Arizona on the mouth, "That was number 42 for the day!"

"Robbins, are you sure you want to…" Alex asked carefully and told the woman with the wheelchair to come closer.

"Karev, I'm a surgeon. I can do it and you'll be there too," Arizona answered annoyed.

The operation was going perfectly fine but her whole body was on fire as if she had run a marathon. Her body wasn't used to standing that long any more and the pain in her leg grew. She needed a pause and started stretching when she heard the wheelchair again. Totally annoyed she turned around, "You, whatever your name is. Can you stop stalking me with chairs? I'm stretching, which is normal…we all need to stretch sometimes. So can you get that thing away from me?" Arizona rolled her eyes when the younger doctor looked confused from her to Alex.

Luckily everything went fine. The operation was done and the only thing she had to do for now was talking to the parents. But then suddenly she shifted all of her weight on the prosthesis and lost her balance. With a loud sound she landed on the floor.

"Everybody out! I said get out. Now!" Alex screamed when he heard Arizona crying on the floor. He hated to see people cry and he hated that he never really knew what to say to sad people. He kneeled down, "Are you okay? Robbins, are you hurt? Did you hurt your head?" He thought that she was crying but when she turned around, she was actually laughing loudly.

"I…I was so proud of myself for…getting through today. The surgery, like nothing was different. And I'm such a big shot that I went. I put all my weight on my left foot," Arizona laughed hysterically "I don't have a left foot. I'm on my ass. And you should see the look on your face," Alex face went from being totally shocked to a soft smile. "You have to help me up," Arizona held out her hands and Alex immediately helped her and almost carried her out of the room while she leaned on him and still laughed. "Wait, I have to check the number on my list." Arizona pulled her champ list out of her pocket while Alex still helped her standing.

"What's that?" Alex asked curiously.

Arizona held it up. "That's my pink champ list. Laura colored it for me and now I've succeeded and faced the third challenge for today! I am definitely a champ." Arizona smiled proudly.

"What were the challenges?"

"Starting to work again, Operating without fear and Laura added that if I fall down in front of a patient or a doctor that I should just laugh and stand up again." Arizona clapped her hands proudly, "And that's what I did a second ago. I didn't cry."

"Nope, you definitely didn't," Alex smirked "Lucky you that Dr. Hunt wasn't there."

"Owen?" Arizona asked confused.

"Well, you know, could've been hard for you to prevent yourself from crying with the chief besides you!"

"KAREV! I'm not going to cry in front of Owen," Arizona slapped him softly, "And…does everyone know about my authority issues?" she whispered and fell back into a chair in exhaustion when Alex nodded.

"Don't worry, they think it's cute. I think it's annoying and you have to grow up," Alex patted her shoulder and then walked away. He turned around again and yelled, "Good job, Robbins!"

Arizona nodded and smiled proudly at him and then let her head fall onto the desk. She was exhausted, beyond exhaustion. So she just stayed there.

Callie was in a great mood. She had heard that Arizona had done an operation and didn't even need a wheelchair. She was super proud and was looking for Arizona to give her the 50th kiss. "Hey Bailey, did you see Arizona?" Callie ran to Bailey who nodded and raised an eyebrow.

"You should tell that stubborn wife of yours to take it slow on her first day!"

"Why? Did something happen?" Callie immediately went into her worry-mode and imagined everything that could've happened.

"Well, she's beyond exhaustion and drooling on my charts," Bailey pointed behind her. When Callie peeked over Bailey's shoulder she saw Arizona sitting at the front desk in a chair with her head lying on the table while she was sleeping. "I admit it, it looks cute but get her off my charts, now!"

Callie laughed, nodded and then walked over to Arizona. She kneeled down besides her as she patted Arizona's back softly, "Ari, let's get you home?"

Arizona slowly opened her eyes, yawned and then got up fast when she realized that she had fallen asleep in the hospital. "Oh shit," she sprung up but luckily Callie had her arms around her waist, so that she didn't fall.

"C'mon, your shift is over," Callie walked into the locker room with her wife who leaned her head on her shoulder, "I'm proud of you, champ!"

"Thanks," Arizona yawned and got her clothes.

"So, this is kiss number 50. I have to meet a patient now but I can't wait to see you at home again," Callie leaned down and gave Arizona a long kiss.

Arizona tried to get home but he pain was hurting like hell, so she decided to stay in the locker room for a little longer. She turned around when she felt someone looking down at her.

"Is it the phantom limb pain again?" Owen asked and already knew the answer.

"I'm turning crazy," Arizona said exhausted, "I operated today. It's my first day back and I already operated and here, look!" Arizona gave Owen her champ list. Owen looked down at it and raised an eyebrow. "That's…well…why am I showing this to you? It's…my champ list, things that I still need to learn and today I learnt three big things."

"I like the list but one point is missing," Owen gave her the list back and took a mirror and held it to her leg. When Arizona looked down it felt like she had two legs again and suddenly the pain wasn't there any more. "Working on your phantom pain should be on that list."

"What are you doing?" Arizona looked down at the mirror again, "Owen, I have pain in a leg that no longer exists. I'm turning crazy."

"No, you're not. So, is the pain any better now?" Owen explained his method and could tell that Arizona was not really accepting his help.

"Yeah, it is. A little."

"See, you just need to figure out what works for you. Callie knows all this, what is she saying?" Owen asked softly.

"I…I don't know. I haven't told her that I have the pain at day too!" Arizona admitted.

"She's an orthopedic surgeon!"

"And I have been her patient for so long. And I am just starting to feel like a wife again. She needs me too and I cannot have this. I'm finally getting my life back together and I will not be screwed over by something that's not even there," Arizona screamed madly at him.

"Fine, we'll work together. I'm gonna help you and we'll figure this out, okay?" Owen said softly and patted Arizona's back.

"No…I…" Arizona answered and shook her head.

"Fine, you work with me and operate or you don't work with me and don't operate," Owen stood up and smiled softly at Arizona's shocked face.

"I'm a surgeon. I must operate. You can't…" Arizona answered shocked and suddenly realized again that Owen was the new chief, her boss.

"I know that and you're one of the best but your phantom pain won't go away without doing anything. So, what's your answer?" Owen looked down at the woman who suddenly got teary eyes and bit her lip. "Arizona, you will feel better again. I promise! Does it hurt that much?" He put a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it.

"No, I'm not…I'm..," Arizona looked at the ceiling and hoped that her tears wouldn't come out.

"Oh," Owen said astonished. Everyone in the hospital knew about her authority issues but he had always thought that this was just a rumor and he was definitely not yelling at her right now and thought that she didn't have to cry. "Well then we meet tomorrow at one!" Owen smiled and left the room. "This is an order!" he added and smirked.

Alex came inside the locker room when Owen left. He could immediately tell that Arizona had cried, "Dude, are you crying again?"

"Go away Karev," Arizona sobbed but he took a chair and held out a hand. Arizona looked confused at him and wiped a tear.

"Gimme the list," Alex ordered but when she didn't, he just took it out of her pocket and wrote another sentence on it. "Here," he threw the list onto her lap and then took a cup of coffee.

Arizona looked at her list and read the sentence, "Get over my childish authority issues!" she smiled a little and then put it back into her pocket.

"It's good to have you back, Robbins. Even the baby crying," Alex said when he left the room. Arizona nodded and took a deep breath and finally changed into her normal clothes.

"Owen, this is Laura," Arizona said when she went into a room that looked like she was at the beach. She had promised Laura to spend the day with her.

"Hello Laura, I'm Owen. Nice to meet you," Owen held out a hand and Laura shook it very shyly and almost went behind Arizona.

"Great, we should get started right away. Sit down on the chair and put on the glasses," Owen said to Arizona and then looked down at Laura, "And you sweetheart, do you want to look into those glasses too?"

"Okay, I like the make believe waves," Laura whispered. It was then Owen realized that the girl wore a prosthesis too.

"I like them too. So you think that Arizona should get them?" Owen smiled wildly.

"Yup, but she's annoyed that you made her come," Laura said and Arizona rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Is she? Could have fooled me," he went to Arizona and put her into the chair, put the electrodes onto her forehead and then gave her the glasses. He did the same with Laura but didn't put on any electrodes.

"Okay, now, breathe and try to calm down the waves. Try to slow them down," Owen explained.

"Wha…what's the point in here?" Arizona asked annoyed. How should she calm down any stupid waves that weren't even real?

"Well, maybe Laura can explain it to you, huh?" Owen asked the girl who was way calmer than Arizona.

"If you can calm down the waves or fire or anything else then your brain learns how to calm down every pain you have. It gets magic power and when you're in pain you just think of the waves again and then the pain goes away," Laura explained.

"I can't…I can't do that, this is dumb," Arizona took off her glasses.

"This is not dumb, it's biofeedback!" Owen argued.

"I can't…I can't stop the stupid make believe waves. What else do you got?" Arizona asked impatiently. Owen explained her what else he got and smiled when Arizona pouted like a little girl.

"Laura, did it work for you?" Owen then turned to the girl but Laura was not answering but lying peacefully in the chair. "See, she even fell asleep!" Owen and Arizona laughed and then started all over again.

"It was a pleasure to meet you," Owen said to Laura when the session was over. Laura nodded shyly and then went outside with Arizona.

"Arizona, that was Ron Weasley!" Laura smiled wildly and jumped around. It was always sweet how fast her behavior changed when strangers weren't around her any more.

"What?" Arizona burst out into laughing, "that wasn't Ron Weasley. That was my boss."

"Wow, you have Ron Weasley as your boss. That is awesome. So the hospital is Hogwarts," Laura laughed and ran to Callie who was at the counter.

"Heeeey, what are you doing here?" Callie asked surprised, "And you? You got a day of."

"We were at the beach," Laura smiled up at her while her hands were around Callie's waist.

"Oookay," Callie laughed and gave Arizona a big kiss.

"Your boss is Ron Weasley. He can do magic," Laura told Callie who looked down speechless.

"Who is Ron Weasley?" Callie asked and Laura and Arizona looked at her with an open mouth. In their mind it was impossible not to know Harry Potter.

"Okay, I know this look. It's another Disney or children thing that I don't get, right?" Callie laughed when Laura and Arizona still looked shocked at her and then shook their heads.

"I can't believe that I married someone who doesn't know who Ron Weasley is," Arizona laughed loudly.

"Why are you talking about Harry Potter's best friend?" Cristina asked without looking up from the computer.

"See, even Cristina knows him," Arizona pointed at Cristina.

"Ooookay," Callie rolled her eyes and slung her arms around Arizona and Laura, "And I married someone who never watched Pulp Fiction. So we're even!"
