"I'm taking her home as soon as she gets better." A male voice said.
A women who sounded very angry replied, "She's my daughter, my child you cannot take her from me she won't leave and you know it."
"She might Arizona, what if she doesn't want to live here anymore after this?"
"She surely won't want to live with you not with the way you've been treating her."
The man and women who ever they where, didn't sound much like they liked each other, the way they were talking it was clear they didn't get along, she could hear the man pacing, someone else besides the two was brushing her hair and singing gently to her in what sounded like a different language. She wondered who this person was, and why just at the sound of her voice her heart warmed.
"It's dangerous here she was shot!"
"In school one boy brought a gun to school one day, New Jersey's crime rate is double Seattle's. She has more of a chance of getting hurt there than here."
"If that is true then why is she laying in that bed right now with three gunshot wounds? I'm taking her back no matter what."
Venom filled the women's voice. "Over my dead body."
The man replied with an equal amount of hatred, "That can be arranged."
The beautiful song that was being sung to her stopped suddenly as did the brush that was running through her hair. Immediately she missed the voice. Realization hit her at the same time the pain did, the two people who were arguing were her parents and they were arguing about her the girl who was brushing her hair was her girlfriend. She tried to open her eyes but she couldn't. A wave of panic washed over her. Why couldn't she move? She couldn't for the life of her remember why.
She tried opening her eyes again this time she was successful she looked around at the stark white walls and opened her mouth to speak all she could do was croak.
"Brooke?" Aria asked she sounded so excited.
"W-water." Brooke gasped.
Aria quickly got Brooke a glass of water she pressed a kiss to Brooke's lips before her parents noticed, Aria helped Brooke get a drink of water.
"Oh my god Brooke!" Arizona yelled rushing over to her daughter.
"Mom." Brooke mumbled smiling. "Dad?"
"I'm right here sweetheart." He took Brooke's hand and squeezed it.
"Please don't make me move daddy, I don't want to live with Maria." Brooke looked over at her father with tears rolling down her pale face.
"But Brooke it's not safe for you here."
Brooke shook her head. "I like it in Seattle I'm happy here. And I hate Maria!"
"Maybe if you would just think about it for a little while and-"
Brooke shook her head wincing at the movement. "I'm not going to think about it because it's not happening."
She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth trying to dispel some of the pain. Her mother recognized the pain and rushed over, Arizona grabbed Brooke's hang gently.
"Are you in pain baby?" She asked.
Brooke nodded her head with her eyes still closed. "I don't really remember what happened."
"What do you remember?"
Brooke thought for a minuet. "Um, Trevor with a gun and Corbin behind me then the gun went off after that it gets fuzzy."
"Well, Trevor shot you three times."
"Oh my god, is Corbin okay?"
Arizona nodded. "He saved you. You would have-"Arizona's throat was suddenly to tight for her to speak but Brooke got the idea.
"But I didn't mom, I'm okay see." She smiled brightly to show that she was fine but winced in pain. Arizona laughed quietly and pressed the button to give her more morphine.
"Can I talk to Aria alone for a minute?"
Arizona and Richard both nodded, they left the room together. Aria fallowed so that she could close the blinds. And then she went back to where she originally was.
"I was so scared Brooke."
"Come here." Brooke mumbled her good arm came up and she pulled Aria to her and kissed her slow and explorative like they had ever kissed before. Aria pulled back with a smile on her face she breathed heavily against Brooke's lips just as she as about to kiss her again a knock came at the door. Aria groaned and went to answer it.
"Is this Brooklyn's room?" A woman asked.
"Yes."
"May I come in?" She sounded impatient. Brooke had to laugh even though it made pain shoot through her abdomen she knew that impatience anywhere her mother was going to freak out. Aria steeped aside and let the women by.
"Brooklyn you look well." She said.
"Don't lie to me grandmother I know I look like hell."
She laughed. "You look well for someone who was shot three times."
"What can I say I have good genetics."
"I brought you a few books, they said you just woke up you going to be bored out of your mind."
"Not if you keep me company."
She nodded and looked over at a very uncomfortable Aria. "Where are your manners Brooklyn you haven't introduced me to this young women."
"Grandmother this is Aria, Callie's little sister. Aria my grandmother, Ellis."

"Arizona!" Meredith called as she ran up to her sister. She had Parker on her hip.
"Hey Meredith, Hello there Parker." She kissed the little baby boy on the forehead.
"Mom is here!", she exclaimed.
Arizona's eyes grew to dinner plates. "You're kidding me?! Why is she here?"
Meredith looked down at her feet. "I may or may not have told her what happened with Brooke. And Parker's first birthday is this weekend I wanted her there."
"Damn it Meredith now mom is going to be pissed that I didn't tell her about it."
Meredith grinned. "Your fault."
"You, Meredith Alexandria Grey are so lucky that you are holding my nephew right now or I would kick you A-S-S."
A/N: Short yes I know an I am sorry about that . I know I said that Ellis was dead in earlier chapters but I've been wanting to bring her back since I wrote Thatcher's death. Again I am sorry it took so long =( But I get my computer back sometime this week so updates should pick up again, if not well then I have a heavy school work load. Sucks when you move a lot and some how and ENTIRE semester does not count. Yeah that's right I basicly shouldn't have gone to school for my first half of Junior year… any ways done rambeling. Hope you enjoy this. Ten reviews please?
