A/N: Thanks for all the feedback on the first two chapters. I appreciate it. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Here's chapter three. Hope it's satisfying. Also I've changed the title to "It's Not over" thought it fit better.
Disclaimer: I am sad to say that I do not own Grey's Anatomy, or it's characters. I just play around with them.
Chapter 3.
"Arizona. Hi." Callie said to her wife that sat up in her bed worriedly looking at her leg. Arizona knew the infection was bad and that she may end up losing her leg. She was thankful to be alive yes, but no matter how many times Callie reassured her that she wouldn't lose her leg Arizona was a doctor and she just couldn't believe it.
"Callie." Arizona's eyes lit up as soon as she saw her wife enter the room. "How's everyone doing?"
Callie raised her eyebrow and sat down next to her wife's bed. "Well Meredith's in bad shape. She still hasn't woken up. Mark is okay. He broke his collar bone and they cased it. He's pissed that he won't be able to have sex for weeks." she and Arizona both chuckled at that. "Lexie's legs are broken and four of Derek's fingers were broken, but I put them back into place."
Arizona smiled at her wife and took her hand. "You are a rock star Calliope Torres."
Callie chuckled at this and a smirk pulled on her lips. "I know." she joked.
"So how bad is the infection?" Arizona asked, her smile fading.
"It's pretty bad baby. Your fever keeps shooting up. Karev is going to take you into surgery soon and try and get all of the infection out."
Arizona nodded and averted her eyes from her wife's. "Can I see Sophia first? Ya know in case.."
"Arizona Robbins. You aren't going to die. Stop thinking that. There is no way I'll let you." Callie said sternly. "You got it?"
Arizona held back her tears and nodded. "Yes ma'am."
Callie leaned over and placed a light kiss on her wife's lips. "Sophia and I will see you soon baby." was the last words she said before she stepped out of the room.
-.-.-
"Karev. When is the surgery?" Callie asked as soon as she saw Alex in the hallway walking toward the Attending's Lounge.
"In thirty minutes Dr. Torres." Alex replied, averting his eyes away from his boss.
"She better make it out alive Karev, or I'll kill you myself. Got it?" Callie warned.
Alex swallowed the lump in his throat. "Yes ma'am."
"Oh and if anything goes wrong you page me. I don't care how many times you have to page me. I better know. You got it?"
"Got it." Alex agreed before turning on his heel and jogging away from the worried Latina.
-.-.-
"Meredith." Derek Sheppard spoke finally. He'd been sitting by her bedside for days with no change. He slept there. He hadn't worked. He hadn't even seen Zola since they were admitted to the hospital. He'd called and checked on her, but he couldn't bring himself to leave Meridith's bedside long enough to do anything.
"Meredith. Please baby. Wake up." He pleaded to his wife who lay there lifeless. The machines breathed for her. He had laid his head on her chest and heard her heart beating. It was hard for him to comprehend her maybe not waking up, even as a brilliant Neuro surgeon.
He softly rubbed her hand with his fingers and tears spilled out of his eyes glassed over eyes. "Meredith. Zola and I need you. Please. You're going to be okay. Please be strong for us. You've lived through worse than this. I need you to live for me. Please Meredith. God please?"
The graying-male found himself on his knees shortly after. He put his hands together and prayed. "God. I know I haven't exactly asked for anything lately, but I need you right now. I need you to heal Meredith. Please? Her daughter needs her more than ever. Please if you can hear me I need my wife."
He got up from his knees and wiped the tears from his eyes. Maybe going to see Zola was what he needed. He didn't want to leave his wife incase she woke up, but maybe it would be best if he did.
Derek slowly walked out of the room and headed to the nursery of the hospital where his beautiful angel would be waiting for him. She'd be so excited to see him since she hadn't seen him in forever.
"Zola sweetie. Hi." Derek said as he walked into the nursery. "Dada! Dada!" the toddler squeaked when she saw her father and ran towards him. She'd just recently learned how to walk and he was so proud of her.
"Hi baby. Sorry Daddy hasn't been around. Mommy's sick." he spoke to the toddler like she would understand the words he was saying, even though he clearly knew she couldn't quite grasp the concept.
"Mommy?" Zola looked around while in Derek's arms. Derek wanted to cry, but he held the tears back being strong for his daughter. Instead he just hugged her softly and rubbed her back, soothing her and himself for the moment.
"Derek?" he heard a familiar voice say. "Come quick. Meredith.. She's awake." an intern said ecstatically and ran out of the nursery.
Derek's eyes lit up and he hugged Zola even tighter. "Be right back baby." he said to the toddler and kissed her on the cheek before putting her down to play and mingle with the other kids in the daycare and darting in the direction of his wife's hospital room.

Cristina Yang wondered the hallways of the hospital before stopping at the Chief's office. The Chief, and her husband. She knocked quietly on the door.
"Come in." he said, raising his eyes from the stack of papers that were sitting in front of him on the desk. "Cristina hey." he mused, averting his eyes once he saw it was his wife.
"Can I go back to work yet?" she asked, not even caring what was going on between the two of them. She just wanted to work again. She wanted to forget everything that happened and just go back to doing what she was good at, surgery.
"Not yet Cristina. I'm afraid you have to see the psychiatric first." Owen said.
"Ugh." Cristina rolled her dark eyes. "I don't see why that's necessary. I'm fine." she argued.
"Because Cristina, you were in a traumatic accident. The others have to go through the same thing." Owen said calmly before walking over and softly taking his wife's hand.
Cristina backed away from him as soon as he touched her. "Please. I just want to go back to work. Can't you just sign the damn papers?"
Owen sighed in defeat and looked down at the floor. "No. I can't. It's against the rules. You and I both know that."
Cristina sighed and a tear escaped her eye, everything getting to her at once. "You don't know what happened out there. I can't even explain it, and I don't want to talk to you about anything. I want to go back to work. It's what I do. I feel helpless. I couldn't help Meredith. She's my person and she's laying there and not going to wake up." she paused, wiping the tears away. "And I don't want to talk about you cheating on me. I can't. It's too hard. Please just sign the damn papers Owen?"
"Go see the Psyc Cristina. It's what you need." Owen mused.
Cristina threw up her hands. "Whatever!" were the last words Owen Hunt heard as he watched his wife slam the door open and then slam it closed behind her. Eyes from all the doctors, nurses and even patients were on them. "What the fuck are you looking at?" she yelled and everyone went back to what they were doing.
Cristina though she flung herself into an on call room and slammed herself on one of the bed and began to cry, tears streaming down her face and wetting the pillow underneath her head. When was it going to be back to normal? Was it ever going to be?

Callie paced the hallway outside of the O.R that her wife's surgery was taking place in. Karev better be getting all that infection out without any problems or she'd kill him herself. Arizona was her wife. She needed her. She loved her more than anything in the world. Sophia needed her. They had a damn baby and they were married and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her. It took Callie all she had not to break down and throw herself onto the floor and cry like a little infant child, but she had to be strong for Sophia and for Arizona both. She knew Sophia knew something was going on, but the toddler would only look at the picture of both Arizona and Callie before she would start wailing and Callie would have to comfort her. She knew Sophia missed her other mommy.
Callie was shaken out of her thoughts when Karev bounded out of the room with a ear to ear smile on his face. "You did it?" Callie asked hopefully. She knew the smile was good news though. Smiles always were. She was a surgeon. She knew how it worked.
"Ya. I'm Brilliant." Alex beamed the smile never fading.
"You got all of the infection?" Callie asked a smile pulling on her lips and her brown eyes lighting up.
"Yep. Robbins is good to go. She'll need to heal for a couple weeks, but baring any complications your wife will be just fine."
Callie couldn't help but throw her arms tightly around Alex and squeeze him. She held on for as long as she could before he pushed her away. "Alright. Geez. Get off me Torres." he chuckled and she did too.
A few seconds later Callie jogged to the elevator and a few more seconds and she was out of the elevator and headed to the nursery to get her baby. "Time to see mommy." Callie whispered as she picked her child up. Sophia's chocolate eyes lit up and she cooed in her mother's arms.
Shortly after Callie arrived back in Arizona's room, an impatient Sophia bouncing around in her arms. "Shh baby. Mommy's not awake yet. Just hold on."
A groan could be heard soon and Arizona's blue eyes opened. "Baby." Callie mused walking over to the hospital bed. "Karev did it. He got all of the infection. You're going to be just fine. Look who I brought to see you."
"Sophia." Arizona croaked. Callie brought her a glass of water and she took a sip before holding her arms out to her beautiful daughter. She looked just like Calliope and Arizona loved her so much. She was so happy to see her again.
" " Sophia giggled and threw her chubby arms around Arizona's neck. Callie couldn't help but smile at the reunion. She was so happy that she felt she would burst. Her wife was okay. Her baby was okay. Everything was okay.
"I love you." Arizona whispered to her wife.
"I love you." Callie returned.
"Lobe woo." Sophia cooed and tears fell down both Arizona and Callie's face. The Latina put her arms around both her beautiful daughter and her gorgeous wife. They were all back together. It's all they could wish for and more.

Derek hurriedly made his way to Meredith's room, darting past nurses, interns, residents and attending. He didn't give a crap who he ran over at this point and time. He just had to see for himself that Meredith was awake.
He stopped in his tracks when he saw Meredith's eyes open. He rushed in the room as fast as he could and took her hand. "Meredith. Baby. You're awake." Tears welled up in his eyes and they fell before he could stop them.
"Uh. Who are you?" Meredith asked. A confused look played on her face as she pulled her hand away from Derek shyly.
