April watched Arizona with widened eyes, almost in shock. "Amelia Shepherd? You mean Amelia Hunt?"

"Okay, don't say that, she didn't change her name."

"You know what I mean! She's a married woman! What's gotten into you?" said April, who's tone became like a teacher's that disciplined her student.

"I know, but it's not my fault. I mean, it just happened. Ever since the Herman case, I've started liking her more and more and yesterday it just clicked all of a sudden," said Arizona innocently.

"Arizona, you have to work this out with yourself. You can't be in love with her. She's a newlywed. She's starting a life with Owen," replied April to Arizona who was now staring at the floor again. "And you… you have to move on from Callie, you have to find someone and be happy as well." Arizona put her face in her hands and stayed quietly. April pulled her closer in her embrace. "It will be fine. Give it some time."

"Thanks, April," said Arizona. "Wait, hold up. What are you even doing in the hospital? You're supposed to be home, with your baby. Where is your baby?"

"Relax, she's home with Jackson. I came to check on a patient," said April in a relaxed tone.

"Home with Jackson you say. So you guys worked it out?"

"We're trying. Right now we're just sharing our parent duties. He helps me a lot. He's very good father."

"That's good, I'm happy," replied Arizona, smiling at her friend.

After talking to April, Arizona went downstairs to pick up her girl from daycare. Sofia was staying with her for a few months. When she entered, she saw Meredith and Maggie picking up Zola, Bailey and Ellis.

"There you are," said Meredith. "I thought I had to pick up Sofia."

"No need, but thank you," said Arizona. "Hello baby girl, how are you?" Arizona asked her child.

"Mommy!" Sofia said as she jumped in the embrace of her mother. "I played with Zola and Bailey today," she said, in her cheerful kid voice.

"That's very good. Let's go home now, shall we?"

"Yes!"

They said their goodbyes and headed home. After Arizona fed her and spent time with her daughter, she put her to sleep. Feeling the need to relieve the pressure from today, she poured herself a glass of wine and thought about Amelia Shepherd and how she could actually stop thinking about her. Failing to do so, she considered going to sleep would be the best solution.

Just like the other day, Arizona arrived to work early and after leaving Sofia in daycare, she went to round on her patients, especially on yesterday's one, Tim. As she made her way to his room, she saw her in there, already checking on him. Before going in, she took a deep breath and put her smile on.

"Good morning, Tim," she said to her patient. "Dr. Shepherd," she turned to Amelia, not failing to give her the magic smile. "How are we this morning?"

"He's stable, no complications. He's just fine," said Amelia, smiling in return. "Healing, isn't that right Tim?"

"That's right, doctors." The boy seemed to be truly fine. His voice was sleepy, but other than that sounded well.

"Very well, then. I'll come in later to check on you again, alright?" asked Arizona. Tim nodded and the doctors made their way out of the room.

"Arizona, I want to thank you again for talking to me yesterday about Owen. It worked and-", Amelia was saying before she got interrupted by the beeping of her pager. "Well, they need me. I'll tell you about it later," she said as she was already leaving towards her emergency.

Arizona kept her smile on, but as soon as the brunette turned the corner it washed away. So, it worked; they were happy again. Arizona couldn't help but feel sad for a minute before shaking her head and being happy for the couple. Happy she could help. It's the least she could do for Amelia. Be there for her. Sometimes, that was enough for Arizona.

She worked all day, burying herself in cases, forgetting about Amelia. When the lunch break came she didn't feel like eating. Mainly because she figured Owen and Amelia might be there, holding hands happily and laughing. Again, she was happy for them, but didn't feel like seeing that. Instead she went down to daycare to stay with her daughter for a bit. But to her surprise, the last person she expected to see there was standing next to Zola and Bailey. Instead of happily holding hands with Owen and laughing, Amelia was playing with her niece and nephew. The way she was smiling at them made Arizona weak for a second, thinking how good of a mother she would be. Or will be. Before getting time to think how she would action, Sofia spotted her and ran to greet her. At the sound of Arizona's cheerful voice, Amelia turned around to see the blonde hugging her daughter tight. To that image she smiled unconsciously and woke to reality when Bailey climbed in her lap.

"Hello Dr. Shepherd," the blonde greeted Amelia.

"Arizona. No lunch today?"

"No, I felt like spending time with happy kids for a bit. How about you?" You didn't want to spend time with him? She asked herself. But it was too much already, so she quit the thought.

"The same. After craniotomies and aneurysms you want to see something happy like this," she replied, looking at the happy kids.

"That is true. So Owen," Arizona started.

"Right, Owen. Well we talked last night and I think we might be going on a good path," she answered. Arizona smiled, nodding to her. "It seems like you really have experience."

"I do and I'm happy to help," she said, starting to force her smile so she just lowered her head to her daughter.

"Mommy, I want to show you what I did today," Sofia said bringing a piece of paper.

"Show me." After she showed her a drawing, Arizona congratulated her for it and Sofia asked in more of a quieter voice, "Mommy, can we talk to Mama today?"

Arizona smiled to her child and said softly, "Sure we can. She'd be happy to hear from us." Sofia chuckled and went to play with Zola.

"How are things with Callie?" asked Amelia, turning to her, still holding Bailey.

"It's good. We talk almost every day. She said she's happy and so are we. Everything's good," Arizona said in her most sincere words, even if it didn't seem that way. She tried to make it as honest as she could.

"That's good, you know? That you can talk to and about her freely."

"Yeah, well it's been a while. You figure out these things as you go," Arizona said, looking down again.

"Right, I hope I don't have to, though," Amelia responded, laughing. Arizona also started laughing, but more at the irony of her situation than at what Amelia said.

Saving her from the awkward silence, Arizona's pager started to go off. "Alright then, see you around," she said to Amelia. "Sof, honey, I have to go, but I'll see you tonight, okay?"

Sofia nodded to her mother and hugged her before going back to playing with the kids. She smiled one more time to Amelia and Bailey and then ran to the emergency. The emergency was Tim and before she entered his room she shook her head to get rid of all of the distractions. The past, the future and the inevitable.

"What happened?" she asked making her way to Tim's bed.

"He was fine then all of a sudden she started crashing," Edwards said.

"Get me the paddles. Starting compression," she announced as she started trying to restart his heart. "Tim, you're not leaving us. You won't join my Tim, stay with me," she said. As a nurse handed her the paddles, she gave the orders to charge the shocks to 200. "Clear." One shock and nothing. "Tim, I mean it. Charge to 250!" Two shocks and no change. After the third, he regained a weak pulse. "Alright, let's get him up to the OR. Let his parents know for me, Edwards. Then scrub in."

"The dad's in surgery after a heart complication and the mother is sleeping." Arizona looked at her and it was enough for Edwards to understand. "I'll wake her, then." Arizona nodded and stepped out to take the patient up to the OR. "Oh, and someone please let know Dr. Shepherd of this."

"I got it!" replied Edwards, already on her way.

After she scrubbed in and made the first cuts, Amelia barged in the OR. "What happened?"

"He collapsed. I brought him back, but I'm not sure how much his heart can take more."

"Dr. Robbins, are you good?" Amelia asked making sure she wasn't emotionally involved.

"Yes, I'm on it."

"Arizona." She looked up from her patient and right into Amelia's eyes. Amelia's voice was stern. "Are you sure?"

"I am. Thank you, Dr. Shepherd." Amelia nodded and exited the OR.

After a couple of hours, almost at the finish line, he started coding yet again. Arizona did the same thing as back in his room, charged, shocked but this time no response at all. After a few minutes, she gave up seeing there's no change. Breathing heavily, with a shaky voice, she declared him. "Time of death, 18:21."

She scrubbed out with a few tears gathering in her eyes, blocking her vision. She went to talk to the mother and then felt the need to sit down and actually cry. She went in the nearest on-call room and closed the door after her, without locking it. A few minutes past and she sat in silence, mourning the kid she just lost, but mostly her brother. This case reminded her of him too many times in just two days. As she wiped away her tears, she heard the door opening and looked up to see Amelia. The neurosurgeon closed the door, actually locking it, and sat down next to Arizona.

"His heart was too weak. He couldn't handle it," she said, her voice breaking again. Amelia put a hand around her shoulder and Arizona put her head on her shoulder. In her embrace Arizona shed even more tears. Not as much for her brother now, but more because she can't have Amelia. Because she can't feel the same embrace and stay there for an entire night, because she can't kiss her to feel better, because she can't show her the love that grew inside of her for all this time. They stood there for a while, but Amelia didn't complain. Arizona stopped crying, but now her head was against Amelia's heart. As she heard it beat, her own calmed down and she could feel safe hearing it. Amelia took Arizona's hand and her heart started beating like crazy again. She smiled ever so slightly and closed her eyes.

"Do you want to hear what Sofia did after you left?" asked Amelia. Arizona nodded and Amelia started telling her about a drawing they worked on together and how Sofia said she'll keep that because she made it with Amelia. Arizona smiled as she thought about her beautiful girl. Amelia's voice was soft and calm, almost to a whisper. It calmed down Arizona like crazy, it worked like magic. After she finished talking, Arizona looked up at her and saw the bright blue in her eyes, so reassuring and gentle that Arizona could feel herself falling for her more and more. They looked at each other, and for Arizona time stopped, wanting to look into those eyes forever. But she wasn't sure what Amelia was feeling or how she was feeling. She did work it out with Owen. That's what she said at least. Her eyes said something else, though. In her eyes Arizona could see a glance of desire, desire for her maybe. In that moment all Arizona wanted to feel was the warmth and softness of Amelia's lips, how they felt. And with every moment that passed and they continued to look in each other's crystal blue eyes, Arizona could feel the temptation growing bigger and bigger. As the urge to kiss her was too big, Arizona looked away and let go of her hand.

"Thank you, Amelia, you didn't have to do this," said Arizona, her voice stronger now.

"Don't say that. It's a pleasure to stay with you," she said, smiling. Arizona felt thousands of shivers running down her back. They stood up and as they opened the door, both of them remained perplexed and speechless. Sitting next to Owen and Meredith, completing a form was no one else but Cristina Yang. They all were laughing and smiling and after Cristina handed in the piece of paper, she hugged both of her friends. Well, her person and her… ex-husband.
