The next few days were pretty uneventful. Arizona avoided everyone in the hospital that didn't like Eliza and was trying to get her fired, the two women went on a couple more dates, spending as much of their free time together as they could, getting to know each other better.

Everything was going well, or it was until they had to work together on a case.

The had arrived at the hospital that morning at around the same time, just like every other day for the last week, Arizona had checked in with Alex before heading to change into her scrubs. Just as Arizona finished changing she got a 911 page to the pit. Quickly pulling her lab coat on she rushed to the ER.

When Arizona enters the ER she quickly asks Owen where she's needed and he directs her to trauma 1. The blonde doctor walks into the room where she was met with a teenage patient, the patient has two completely shattered legs, a nasty laceration to her face and massive internal bleeding. She had been hit by a car on her way to school.

Arizona gave out orders to everyone in the room, asking for someone to page ortho and plastics and meet them in the OR, there was no time to wait for a CT scan, the patient was too unstable. They quickly took the girl to surgery.

Whilst Arizona was scrubbing into surgery, Eliza walked in.

"I'm your ortho consult." She says to Arizona placing her hand gently on the blondes back with a smile then moving away to scrub. Less than a minute later Jackson walks in, joining the two women wordlessly and beginning to scrub also. Arizona is now stuck between two people that hate each other. This is going to be fun, she internally groans to herself.

Arizona quickly finishes scrubbing taking herself away from the situation as fast as possible.

The blonde begins working on the girls internal bleeding as soon as she is ready, allowing the two other doctors to carry on with their parts of the surgery. The atmosphere is awkward and completely uncomfortable for all involved. Arizona wants to chat to Eliza but she knows she can't whilst Jackson is there and Jackson just acts like a sulky teenager, going about his repair silently.

It's a really long surgery by the time they have all finished their repairs. All three doctors are scrubbing out when Jackson finally decides to speak to them.

"Why can't you just leave Minnick? You stole Richards job and no one wants you here, you're everywhere, all the time." Arizona is shocked by Jacksons outburst.

"Jackson, you're out of line." Arizona tries to stand up for Eliza, it's becoming harder and harder for her to stand back and take all the back stabbing against her girlfriend.

"What? She's got to you too now?" Jackson is in shock and super angry now.

"Actually, yes, she has got to me. I fully support Richard, he is my friend and an amazing teacher, but if we can improve then this is a good thing." Eliza is just standing there silently. She can't believe Arizona is standing up for her but she knows she can't let her, the blonde will end up with so much hassle if she doesn't stop her.

"Arizona, stop." Arizona's whips her head round almost glaring at Eliza.

"You two are on first name terms?" Jackson is so pissed off now.

"Actually..." Arizona starts, trying to defend her girlfriend, before Eliza interrupts her again.

"Arizona, will you just stop, you're not helping here." Arizona's mouth is wide open, she can't believe Eliza is just dismissing her. The blonde storms out of the scrub room, heading as far away from the two bickering surgeons as possible.

By the time Arizona has calmed down its an hour later, she's just about to leave the on call room she had locked herself in when she feels her phone vibrate in her pocket, of course it's from Eliza.

EM: Where are you? We need to talk.

Arizona thinks for a few minutes before sending a shitty reply to Eliza.

AR: No, we don't need to talk, apparently you do all the talking for me.

Eliza knows Arizona is pissed off, she was sticking up for her and she shut her down.

EM: Arizona, please? I was trying to protect you.

AR: Your were trying to protect me? How is silencing me, protecting me?!

Arizona's bad mood had very quickly returned so she wanted to stay in the on call room for a while. She text Alex and asked him to cover for her for a bit, saying her leg was hurting so he wouldn't ask questions. He replied instantly.

AK: I'll cover for you no prob, but u better not be using me so I can get laid ;-)

That was all Arizona needed, Alex thinking she was skiving to get lucky. She roled her eyes choosing to ignore her phone completely for a while. Not replying to him or Eliza.
