AR: Babe talk to me, what's going on? Xx

Arizona replied, desperately trying not to worry about her girlfriend. Sofia was really looking forward to pizza and ice cream tonight but it seemed like Eliza wouldn't be joining them now. The blonde was torn with what to do, she wanted to check her girlfriend really was ok but she didn't want to offload Sofia anywhere either. Especially on her last night in Seattle for a while.

Arizona stuck her head around the back door to check her daughter was ok. Luckily Sofia was still fast asleep on the sofa, so exhausted from hours of playing with Zola, Bailey and Ellis in the park.

Going back outside, sparking up a second cigarette, Arizona decided to try and call Eliza. She clearly wasn't up to texting right now, maybe she would talk though.

Unsure as to whether calling Eliza was a good idea, Arizona hesitated, staring at her phone screen, all of a sudden Eliza's photo popped up on her screen, her girlfriend was calling her. Arizona continued to stare at her screen. She didn't know what was going to happen. A few seconds later she swiped the screen and answered.

"Hello." Arizona said not really sure of herself.

"Hey babe. What you doing?" Eliza slurred, she was definitely drunk, causing Arizona to roll her eyes. She didn't need this today.

"Just out the back, Sofia is asleep." Arizona said shortly, she was pretty angry with her girlfriend. Worried but angry.

"Ah ok, I miss you." Eliza said giggling to herself.

"Well, Eliza, if you had bothered with us since the first day Sofia arrived and you took the day off, you wouldn't miss me because you would have been here" Arizona retorted back. She was getting more wound up by the second.

"Sorry, I've been busy." Eliza snapped back.

"What busy getting drunk every day?" Arizona's blood was boiling. She swiftly lit up her third cigarette in a row, trying to calm herself down.

"Arizona, are you smoking?" Eliza asked, her voice breaking slightly, she already knew the answer. She could hear Arizona taking drags from the cigarette.

"Not that I owe you anything right now, yes I am. I was worried and you were just getting drunk. My daughter was looking forward to seeing you tonight, and so was I."

"I can't do this Arizona, I'm sorry." Eliza said as she hung up. Just as she hung up, Sofia opened the back door.

"Mommy, what are you doing?" The little girl questioned, causing her mother to spin around in surprise, tears in her eyes.

"Nothing baby girl, I was just relaxing whilst you slept." Arizona said, quickly wiping her eyes, hoping her daughter hadn't seen her tears.

"Mommy, you're lying, you're upset." Sofia was far too smart for her own good. "Is it Eliza?" The little girl questioned.

"Baby, you are too clever. Why do you think I'm upset because of Eliza?" Arizona questioned. It seemed a strange thing for her to ask seeing as she had hardly seen the woman since she met her.

"Cuz mama cries when penny upsets her." The little girl said sadly.

"It's ok baby, Eliza and I will figure it out. She's just a bit upset at the moment and it is making mommy sad. Don't you worry ok, you don't need to worry about this." She tried to reassure her daughter but inside Arizona was worried about her girlfriend. More now that she had spoken to her than she had been all day before.

"Mommy, can I have dinner with Zola so you can go see Liza?" The little girl asked.

"How about we ask Meredith if we can take Zola with us for pizza and ice cream?" Arizona asked her daughter, she was the most important thing to her and that wasn't about to change because of her girlfriend.

"No mommy, I want you to go see Eliza and make sure she is ok." Sofia was stubborn. Arizona knew what she wanted but she didn't want to spend time away from her little girl.

"Peanut, I know what you meant but you're going home tomorrow, I want to spend as much time as possibly with you." Arizona tried to reason with her daughter, however Sofia wasn't having any of it.

"MOMMY I WANT YOU TO SEE IF LIZA IS OK." Sofia shouted at her mommy before turning around and going inside to find her shoes and coat.

A few minutes later, after the shock had subsided a little bit, Arizona went looking for her daughter. She walked through the kitchen, into the living room and to the stairs before she found her. Coat and shoes on, sat at the bottom of the stairs by the front door. Arizona rolled her eyes, a small smile on her lips, she was definitely Callies daughter alright! Sofia knew what she wanted.

Arizona hated that Sofia was so intuitive to situations well beyond her years.

"Ok little bug, let me call Meredith and see if it's ok for you to go for dinner, then if she says ok and you're sure I will check on Eliza, ok?"

"Thank you mommy." Sofia said as she threw herself around her mommy's legs.

Arizona quickly pulled her phone out, dialling Meredith. Luckily she answered and agreed because her daughter was being very strong willed right now and she wanted to avoid a complete melt down with the little girl. Especially this close to her going home. Within 10 minutes, Sofia was strapped into her car seat and Arizona was pulling out of her drive to head across town to Meredith's house.

Sofia quickly unbuckled herself and jumped out of the car even before Arizona had undone her seatbelt.

Arizona knocked on the door.

"Hey, come in a second." Meredith said. Arizona ushered Sofia into the house, Meredith closing the door behind them. Once Sofia had her coat off she ran to find Zola to play.

"I'm sorry about this. She was very insistent that I needed to check on Eliza. She shouted at me and everything." Arizona huffed.

"It's ok. Is Dr. Minnick ok?" Meredith questioned.

"Honestly I don't know, we were talking, and arguing and then she hung up on me." Arizona said, sounding a little defeated.

"What's going on with her Arizona? She hadn't been in work all week." Meredith said, an extremely worried look washed over Arizona's face. "You didn't know she wasn't in did you?" Meredith questioned.

"Uh n-no." Arizona stuttered. "I uh I need to go." She said as she abruptly stood up. "Are you sure she's ok to be here for a little bit?"

"Of course it's fine for Sofia to be here, Zola and Bailey love her, and so do I. Now go, make sure your girlfriend is ok."

"Thank you Meredith." Arizona said before quickly turning around and heading out of the house.

The drive to Eliza's house was a blur, Arizona was really worried, her mind full of all sorts of possible scenarios. She thought Eliza had been at work all week, and just been too busy to hang out. What had she been doing? Where had she been.
