Wow, I woke up this morning to a bunch of new reviews. Threw ya'll for a loop huh? Most of you seemed to like it, and I'm glad. I also really like the fact that some people were hesitant and love it now! Makes me smile. Btw, I have no medical knowledge, so everything that happens in here is either Google'd or is by way of creative imagination, so please don't criticize the med stuff.
Again, I own none of these characters they belong to Shonda Rhimes.
When Arizona walked into the scrub room, she saw Callie already scrubbing in. How was it feasibly possible for her to beat Arizona, unless she took the stairs, which is what Arizona was guessing she did, because it was the only way that she could have possibly beaten Arizona down to the scrub room. Arizona looked down at her leg, she could feel the burning sensation but she knew that there wasn't a leg there, and that there shouldn't be any pain.
Scowling, Arizona looked at Callie and said "Callie, what do you think you're doing? You know that you can't be in there." Without looking up from the sink where she was washing her finger nails, Callie said "Arizona that is my baby girl in there. I'm going to be in there with you." Arizona laughed; the pain was really affecting her mood. "Callie, you can't go in there. It might be your kid, but right now she's my patient."
Callie sensed the sudden attitude that Arizona had suddenly let come to the surface. "Dr. Robbins, I will be in that room, and there is nothing you can do to stop me. So, if you don't mind, get your ass scrubbed in." So much for taking the high road, Callie thought. Again Arizona laughed, "Dr. Torres, take your goddamned scrub cap off, and get the hell out of this scrub room before I get Hunt down here, who I'm sure would gladly agree that you don't belong in here, ethically speaking of course. You are more than welcome to sit in the gallery with Mark and that boyfriend of yours. BUT YOU ARE NOT ENTERING MY O.R."
The Latina looked as though Arizona had just bitten her head off. Callie ripped her scrub cap off an yelled, "FINE DR. ROBBINS, BUT I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I'M WATCHING YOUR EVERY MOVE. AND YOU BETTER NOT FUCK UP MY DAUGHTER THE WAY YOU DID ME." The words stung Arizona; she was shocked and not sure what to say. Luckily, with that, Callie exited the scrub defeated Latina left the shouting match in the scrub room for the safety of the O.R. Gallery where she had already found Mark.
He looked at her with tear stained eyes. "I was watching her. I was careful I'm a damn doctor. I shouldn't have left her alone, not even for three seconds." Callie looked over at Mark. "It could have happened to any of us. Dr. Robbins will take care of it…" Callie replied distantly. Mark looked at her and laughed. "Dr. Robbins, huh? I heard that shouting match all the way up here. You really gave her a piece of your mind. I know she did a real number on you Cal, but even for you that was a little harsh." Mark and Callie left it at that because they soon heard Arizona say, "I'm starting. We're going to go in endoscopically and remove the quarter. Nothing too difficult."
And with that, Arizona fed the endoscope down Sofia's throat. "Oh no, Karev, we're going to need to open her up, the coin is much bigger than her trachea, and it's made a small perforation. Arizona looked up to the Gallery to see a nervous Mark and a slightly neurotic looking Callie. The blonde flashed Callie her most sympathetic look and said "The coin caused a small perforation. We'll get it sewn u- OW." Arizona cringed. The burning sensation was moving down her leg. She took a step back from the table. The pain was increasing, and there was only one thing that Arizona knew to do, she looked at Karev who was looking at her like she was nuts and said, "Boki, hand Karev a ten blade. Karev, I need you to stab in my left foot."
Karev looked at her like she was crazy and said, "Hell no, I don't know what you were doing over in Africa but typically stabbing someone is nuts." Arizona was almost in tears, "ALEX KAREV, stab my damn foot. NOW." Callie looked down at Arizona, and walked over to the intercom. "Arizona, this isn't anytime to screw around. That's my kid on the table. Now, pull your head out of your ass and operate." Callie groaned, why was Arizona screwing around? "Pull my head out of my ass?" Arizona said as she ripped away her scrub pant leg revealing her prosthesis. "Not laughing now are we. Karev, I'm experiencing phantom limb pain. I need you to stab my foot."
Taking the 10 Blade from Boki, Alex walked over to Arizona, bent down and before he stuck the blade into her foot he looked up at her sympathetically. "Alex, please. Do it already." Arizona begged. With that, Alex stuck the blade in Arizona's prosthesis. The blonde looked down at Alex nodded and the breathed in a sigh of relief. She took a step forward with the blade still in her shoe. Arizona looked back up at the gallery, where she saw Callie with her hands pressed to the glass.
Callie couldn't believe what she was seeing, a prosthesis? Since when was Arizona an amputee? She waited until they were completely finished with the surgery and up in the PICU. Arizona looked at Callie, "Dr. Torres, her vitals are stable, and if everything goes well, she should be able to go home tomorrow. I just wanna make sure that her airway is secure and won't perforate again. If you don't need anything else, I'm going to go home. If you need anything have a nurse page me." Arizona went to turn to walk out the door, and then she felt a hand grab her wrist. "Arizona, what – happened?" Callie asked quietly as to not wake her sleeping daughter. "Your daughter swallowed a quarter. It is much larger than her airway, and perforated the trachea when she tried to breathe." Arizona replied curtly. The blonde knew that wasn't what Callie was asking. She just didn't feel like answering her. "I know that, I'm talking about your leg." Callie said hoping that Arizona would give her some sort of indication of what happened. "Dr. Torres, my leg, as you saw in the O.R, is gone. Now, if you'll excuse me." Arizona removed Callie's hand from her wrist and turned towards the door once more. "How could you not tell me? Arizona, I'm an orthopedic surgeon…" Arizona turned briefly, looking at Callie feeling empty inside. She shrugged her shoulders and walked out of the room.
"How could you not tell me? Arizona, I'm an orthopedic surgeon.." The words resonated in Arizona's ears. The thing was Arizona had told her.
AN: SORRY FOR THE CLIFFHANGER! Please don't hate me. I had to cut it off somewhere. I had to cut this chapter in half. I don't think ya'll want a 4,000 word chapter. I know when I read FanFic, I don't. If you do, let me know.
