Arizona finds Richard at the OR board, studying it, looking at what he had going on today. Deep in thought. She approached him gingerly, Arizona was nervous about this, she never wanted to hurt him.

"Hey Richard, can I talk to you?" Arizona says softly, a very worried tone in her voice. He looks at her and smiles. Arizona knows he hasn't heard yet. "In private?" She adds which brings a nervous look to his face, somewhat matching the blondes.

They walk in silence to the nearest on call room. Richard sits down as Arizona locks the door behind them, she doesn't want this conversation being interrupted. The blonde shifts nervously, she doesn't know how to start, she really doesn't want to hurt this man, he means so much to her.

"What is it Robbins?" Richard asks, his voice full of concern and worry. "Is Sofia ok?" He adds when she doesn't say anything.

"I'm seeing someone." She suddenly blurts out, regretting that she had let people see her with Eliza. She wishes they could go back to their little bubble because she has a feeling he isn't going to take this well when he knows who she's seeing.

"That's great, tell me about her, who is it? Is it someone I know?" He asks, excited. He'd been helping Arizona try to move on from Callie for months now, he wanted to know his efforts had helped.

"Ummm it's new and only been happening about a week, you know her yes. Richard, I'm so sorry, it just, sort of happened, I'm seeing Dr. Minnick." Arizona just looks at her feet, shifting uncomfortably, she doesn't want to see the look of hurt on his face. She knows it's there.

"Oh, uh, um." Is all Richard can say, he never saw that coming. He stands up from where he was sat on the bed and just walks out of the room, leaving the blonde stood there to take in just how much she'd hurt her best friend.

Well that didn't go well, Arizona thinks to herself, not that she had expected it to go any better. She knew she had betrayed Richard, but she couldn't help how Eliza made her feel, she tried for a long time to ignore the woman, she just couldn't any longer. Lost in her own thought Arizona stayed in the on call room for a few minutes, she needed some time alone before she had to deal with the whole hospital judging her.

When Arizona had pulled herself together enough to face the day, she left the on call room and headed to the attendings lounge to change into her scrubs, then went to start work, hiding from as many people as possible. She had thought she was ready for this, but hurting Richard had suddenly made her realise she wasn't ready and she wanted to take back anyone finding out. Instead she threw herself deep into work, keeping as busy as she could for the rest of the day.

It was nearly the end of the day and Arizona had successfully managed to avoid everyone, except Alex, but he didn't care either way, he already knew and was keeping quiet about it. She was grateful for him being that way.

Arizona felt her phone buzz in her pocket, she pulled it out to see a text from her girlfriend.

EM: Hey stranger, how's your day been? X

The blonde smiled to herself, a genuine smile, for the first time since she had arrived at work that morning. Then she remembered why she had been having a rubbish day and stuffed her phone back into her pocket, carrying on with her charts. She didn't want to be happy at the moment.

Once the blonde had finished her charting she headed to her office. She locked herself in there, her shift was now over and she was due to video call with Sofia soon. Sofia was coming home in a few weeks and Arizona needed to talk to Callie about Eliza as well. Her day really couldn't get any worse. She had to tell her best friend and her ex wife about her new girlfriend all in one day. She sighed to herself and pulled her phone from her pocket, going to text Callie.

AR: Hey Callie, need to talk to you tonight when Sofia video calls if possible.

CT: No problem, she's just finding her iPad. Talk to you in a few.

Arizona sat nervously at her desk waiting. This wasn't going to be fun, she was sure Callie had heard about Eliza from Meredith. Meaning she got the bad information, not the good side that Arizona saw.

Arizona's phone started playing her ringtone for Sofia, she plastered a smile on her face and answered, greeting her little girl. Sofia chatted away for half an hour about her week, giving Arizona all the details. When Sofia was running out of things to say Arizona told her she needed to speak to Callie.

"Hey bug, I need to talk to mama and you need to go to bed, it's getting late. I'll talk to you tomorrow yeah?"

"Ok mommy. I miss you this week."

"I miss you too baby girl. Sleep well ok? I love you."

"I love you too, bye mommy." Sofia said before running to hand the iPad to Callie, waving one more time before she did.

"Hi Arizona"

"Hi Callie, I need to tell you something because Sofia is coming home in a few weeks" the blonde said cautiously.

"Ok." Callie was pretty blunt, but that was nothing new.

"I'm seeing someone. I know you've heard about her, Meredith talks. It's Dr. Minnick."

"Umm ok, but didn't she steal Richards job?"

"She didn't steal it, Bailey offered her his job which she took." Arizona said, slightly annoyed that her ex wife had only had half the story. "Anyway I'm only telling you because Sofia will probably meet her when she's with me."

"Ok well as long as Sofia is ready to meet her then I can't stop you introducing them."

"Thank you. See you in a few weeks?"

"Yeah. Bye Arizona."

"Bye"

Callie ended the call. Well at least that went better than expected Arizona thought to herself. She was ready to text Eliza back now so before putting her phone down she text her.

AR: Hey, crappy day. Richard didn't take it well. Spoke to Callie as well, had to tell her before Sofia comes home in a few weeks. How was your day? X

EM: Honestly, shit. I'm going home. See you tomorrow x

That was all Eliza said. Arizona was lost in thought, what could have happened to make Eliza's day so bad. All things considered Callie had been ok, Richard was hurt. Arizona's mind was going crazy. She needed to try and relax.

By the time Arizona had pulled herself from her thoughts she'd been sat there over an hour. She quickly changed, remembering she'd got a lift with Eliza this morning she called herself a cab, then headed down to the entrance of the hospital to wait for it. That's when she spotted Eliza's car, still in the parking lot. Now she was worried about her girlfriend.

AR: Hey your cars still here, are you ok? X
