Slow Down Chapter 3, a grey's anatomy fanfic

Chapter 3

It had been two weeks since the shooting that had occurred in the park, and all the victims that had been brought into the hospital had since been discharged and were either sent home or were handed over to the police. Everything had gone back to normal and everything went on as usual.

It was the beginning of the new week, and Arizona was scheduled to have the day off. Suddenly her pager went off for a 911 situation. She quickly grabbed the first decent looking items out of her closet, put them on and dashed out the door of her house. She jumped into her Mustang and was quickly on her way to the hospital. Completely concerned with what the page was for she was completely
oblivious to the numbers that were reading on her speedometer. Zipping down the busy Seattle area, her frame of mind was abruptly brought back to reality when she heard the sirens go off behind her. "Great! Just what I needed. Another flipping ticket." She thought to herself.

Arizona could see the officer about to get out of the car. She quickly leaned over to the passenger side to dig through the glove box for her registration and insurance. Suddenly there was a knock at the window. Arizona rolled down the window immediately for the officer.

"Liscence, registration and proof of insurance please" a husky yet very feminine voice said. Arizona handed the officer what was requested.

Callie, standing outside of a Mustang GT was handed the documentation required from the driver. Looking at the liscence in her hand, a mega watt smile rose upon her face. Arizona Robbins. Leaning down to peek through the window, her smile could only get bigger when her eyes met Arizona's.

"Dr. Robbins, we really need to stop meeting like this."

Arizona giggled at Callie's comment. "Yes, I certainly think so as well officer Torres."

"I really should issue you another ticket, but I'm willing to let this one slide. And, you can call me Callie." Callie said with a teasing grin.

The expression didn't go unnoticed by the blonde. "Well in that case Callie, you can call me Arizona."

"Maybe I will see you around, but until then, drive safely ok?" Callie said once again showing the largest, most sincere smile on her face.

The two women said their goodbyes and went on their way.

It was around noon and Callie had ended her shift for the day. She decided that since her best friend Mark Sloan, the plastics surgeon at the hospital's shift was finished around the same time, the two of
them would have some lunch and then go work out together.

Callie clad in a pair of jeans, a red flowing blouse and a leather jacket was making her way down the hallways of the hospital in search of her friend, when she passed by a certain blonde haired doctor talking with another. Callie had noticed that the two were in deep conversation, and not wanting to disturb them, Callie scribbled a note on a piece of paper and swiftly walked past the two doctors making a point of brushing up against Arizona's lab coat and slipping the note in the coat pocket. Grinning from ear to ear, she was greeted by Mark who had appeared to have surfaced out of nowhere.

"Mark! I've been looking for you. Ready to go?" Callie asked.

"Yeah, I'm starved. Come on Cal." Mark said as he gestured for Callie to walk through a set of doors before him.

"What was that?" Teddy asked as both her and Arizona stared at the back side of Callie as she was greeted by Mark, who had escorted her out of sight.

Arizona reached into her pocket and pulled out the note that she felt Callie placed there. Opening up the piece of paper, Arizona smiled as she read the note.

555-647-8275

Call me some time

-Callie

"What's it say?" Teddy asked.

Arizona broke out of her smile into a small, soft fit of laughter. "She slipped me her phone number." Arizona said as she showed Teddy the note.

A couple hours and a bucket of sweat later, Callie and Mark found themselves sweaty and completely burnt out laying on the gym mats. "So Mark...tell me...something...about Dr. Robbins..." Callie said
while trying to get her breathing back down to normal. "The only thing...I know about her..is that she has a tendancy to speed down the street." she continued with a chuckle.

"Blondie? She's nice. A little perky if you ask me." Mark responded staring up at the ceiling.

"I slipped my number into her lab coat. Think she'll call?"

"If she's not an idiot." Mark said turning his attention to Callie with a genuine smile on his face.

"Thanks Mark." Callie reciprocated the gesture. Suddenly a beeping went off. Mark grabbed his pager that was laying on the floor beside him. Taking a glance and noticing that it was a 911, he swiftly got up
and took out his hand to help Callie get up as well.

"Sorry Cal. Emergency. I gotta get back to the hospital."

A couple minutes later, Callie and Mark found themselves back at the hospital. They said their goodbyes and went off in separate directions. Making her way down a hallway, Callie had managed to yet
again cross paths with Dr. Arizona Robbins.

"Hey Officer Torres...or I mean Calliope." Arizona said with a smile.

"Uhh...How'd you figure out my full name?"

"Oh, a little birdie told me." Arizona responded with a slight chuckle and a wide smile. "So umm...you slipped me your number. Is it for professional or personal reasons?" Arizona asked, her smile not fading
for a second.

Callie smirked and answered. "Personal. In the hopes that maybe you'd call...and then I could ask you out on a date."

"You're pretty forward Calliope, don't you think." Arizona asked.

"When I see something I like, I go for it. No hesitating." Callie responded. "So how about it? Wanna go out sometime?"

"umm...I'd love to." Arizona answered with a giddy nervous laughter.

"How about tomorrow?"

"tomorrow is super!"

"Great..." Callie said as she started to walk past Arizona. Making it almost to the end of the hallway, Callie turned around. "Arizona?"

Arizona quickly turned around to face where the voice was coming from. Smiling, she responded "yeah?"

"Call me" was all Callie said before continuing her pursuit around the corner.

"I have a date!" Arizona practically shouted with excitement as she entered the attendings lounge, where she found Teddy digging through her cubby.

"With the woman from earlier today?" Teddy asked with an inquisitive expression.

Arizona just nodded then suddenly was jumping up and down for joy before she turned around and walked out of the lounge. Teddy just laughed at the sight of her friend and continued rummaging through her cubby.

Arizona spent the rest of the afternoon at the hospital making rounds with the residents that were on her service for the day and had a couple more surgeries left on her schedule. But every moment she had to herself, her mind kept drifting off to the badass brunette that out of nowhere walked into her life and turned her world upside down.

"You're pretty forward Calliope, don't you think." Arizona asked.
