Chapter 15

It had been a week and Arizona hadn't heard anything from Callie not even a phone call from Sofia, a whole week that she hadn't heard from her daughter and it was killing her she was desperate to hear her daughter's voice or even to hold her in her arms again but she knew that wasn't possible at the present time and after this week off not hearing from them she wondered if she will ever get the chance to it again she thought this might be Callie's way of telling her their done for good.

Arizona had tried everything to get hold of Callie she rang her phone a million times for it to only be turned off, she sent a number of emails to Callie with no reply back she even took her chance and rang Addison to ask if Callie was staying there or if she had heard from Callie but she hadn't which left Arizona in awaked position she had to tell Addison what she had done, Addison was shocked by Arizona's adultery and Callie was one of her best friends but Addison didn't say too much to Arizona she wanted to talk to Callie first about the whole situation.

Arizona had an idea were Callie might of went knowing that she wasn't with Addison, so Arizona took the chance and rang Callie's father she had already rang several times but to be told that Carlos was in a meeting or on the phone and that Callie wasn't staying there but she knew in her heart now that Callie had to be there.

Arizona woke up early before she had to start time and thought she would try and ring Mr Torres one more time all she could do was try and with the time difference she knew there was a good chance of getting hold of him.

During the past week Callie had done a lot of soul searching and was feeling a little better with herself, she was also trying to keep as busy as possible taking Sofia out on a daily trips showing her the beautiful sites of Miami, she knew she should of contacted Arizona for Sofia's sake but she needed this time away it was the while reason for her leaving in the first place, she felt bad for Sofia putting her through this and it was selfish on her behalf but it was helping and she thought it might be time to go home and face the music but she still wasn't sure what she was going to do.

Arizona held her breath as she dialled Mr Torres number, it rang a few times before there was an answer.

"Hello Carlos Torres Speaking"

Arizona held her breath for a few more seconds trying to compose herself before talking up.

"Hey, Hi Carlos, it's Arizona" she said with a shake in her voice she was so nervous she didn't know how this conversation was going to go would he just hang up on her or would he give her a mouthful for hurting his daughter.

"Arizona what a pleasant surprise, what can I do for you?"

"Sir I was just ringing to see if Calliope was staying with you or have you heard from her recently, I'm really worried Sofia and herself went on a holiday and I haven't heard from them in a week and it's worrying me I just want to know there both safe and well."

"I see, yes I've heard from Calliope, and Sofia and herself are fine, look Arizona i know about what has happened and I know Calliope loves you very much you just need to give her time ok she's has a lot to sort out and she needs time to heel and I know with everyday she is getting a lot better in herself"

Arizona sighed.

"Thank you Sir for letting me know my girls are safe, I'm sorry Sir that I have let you done and let my family down I will never forgive myself for what I have done I broke many promises to you and Calliope. I just want to let you know that I love Calliope with all that I have and I attend to do whatever I can do to make this right whatever it takes I will do."

Arizona tried so hard not to cry but she couldn't hold it in any longer now she was sobbing on the phone to Carlos and that's the last thing she wanted to do she didn't want him to pity her.

"Arizona darling you need to calm down, yes you have done a horrible thing but that doesn't make you a horrible person like you think you are, but no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes and I'm talking from experience and I know it's a mistake you will regret for the rest of your life, but after this mistake I still believe Calliope and yourself are meant to be together and you are good for my daughter I know I didn't believe it at the start but I do truly believe it now and you have a beautiful family together. Arizona can I please just ask one thing of you I need you to do one thing for yourself and your family"

"Yes Sir anything I'll do whatever it takes to bring my family together again anything in the world"

"Arizona this might sound blunt and it might not be my place to say it but I think you need help you need to go talk to someone ok you've been through so much and I think you really need this and you need this to find yourself again"

"I understand Sir and I will do this for you like I said whatever it takes to get my family back together" Arizona said, she never considered talking to anyone but maybe he was right.

"No Arizona you have to do this for yourself not me yourself and your family and prove to Calliope you are trying do you understand?"

"Yes Sir fully"

"Ok good, well I have to get going ok but I do ashore you Calliope and Sofia are well and safe"

"Thanks you so much Sir, I'll let you go bye"

"Bye Arizona, stay safe and take care of yourself now" Carlos said before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone Arizona knew Sofia and Callie had to be in Miami even though Carlos hadn't actually said they were there but she knew they had to be by the way he was talking. That left Arizona thinking and she knew what she had to do she had to go find her family and fight for them even though that meant getting on a plane, she hadn't been on a plane since the accident and it scared the hell out of her but she had to get on that god damn plane whether she liked it or not because she was willing to do anything to save her marriage. But know she had to get ready for work and organise all the small details out on her lunch break.

Carlos walked into the dining room to find Callie after his phone call with Arizona he could not tell her that he had spoken to her wife.

"Good morning my two favourite girls"

"Morning pa pa" Sofia let out with excitement.

"Robbie made me pancakes with choc chips and they yummy"

"Oh aren't you a lucky girl" Carlos said walking over and giving Sofia a kiss on the head as well as Callie.

"Calliope darling can I please have a word in private" Carlos asked his daughter.

"Um yeah sure" she got up wondering what this was all about they walked away out of hearing for Sofia but to be still able to watch her.

"Calliope darling I've just had a phone call from Arizona, she was really worried that she hadn't heard from you or Sofia in a week she also asked me if you were staying here or if I've heard from you, don't worry I didn't tell her you were here but I told her that I know Sofia and yourself are safe and well"

"Oh" is all Callie could say.

"Listen darling I'm not trying to tell you what to do but maybe you should get Sofia to call her and give Arizona some piece of mind and I know she misses you both she also said she loves you both with all that she has. We also had a little chat about everything that has happened and I suggested that she seeks help which she agreed to and I truly believe she will."

"Thank Papa, your right I will get Sofia to ring her but that will have to wait till tomorrow. I really hope she follows your advice and seeks help but I was also thinking maybe it's time for Sofia and I to head home soon I can't hide away forever and I know Sofia misses Arizona like crazy and I don't know how much longer I can keep making up excuses to her before I crack" Callie explained.

"You do whatever you have to do darling but remember Sofia and yourself come first and only you know what's best for the both of you." Carlos reached out pulling Callie into a hug and kissing her forehead.

"I love you Mija"

"I love you too Papa and thank you for everything I don't know what I would have done without you."

They then made their way back over to Sofia.

"Hey baby girl, what should we do today?" Callie asked her daughter.

"We go to the beach and park please"

"I thing we can do that" Callie said kissing her daughter.

"How about we finish our breakfast then we can go get ready"

Arizona was having a busy morning she was about to scrub in when she spotted Alex.

"Hey"

"Hey Zona, how are you feeling this morning?" Alex asked.

"Yeah not that bad, thanks for last night I really needed to get out of that apartment it's driving me crazy and thanks again for staying the night again I know that couch is probably not that comfortable but it helps knowing that I'm not alone in that apartment."

"No probs boss, anything for you" Alex smiled.

"Have you got anything on for the next few hours? I've got a Esophageal Artesia do you want to scrub in?"

"Sweet I'd love too"

While scrubbing in Arizona told Alex about her phone call this morning with Callie's father and her plan to go find Callie and Sofia she also told him not to say a word to anyone about her plans she didn't want to start another gossip mill and quite frankly it's none of their business.

Callie and Sofia were just about to head out for the day, Callie was helping Roberta in the kitchen helping make them a packed lunch for their outing.

"Um Callie I was just wondering and you can totally understand if you say no but I was just wondering I have tomorrow and they night off so I was wondering if you would like to come out with me for drinks and a bite to eat?" Roberta said full of nerves.

"Are you asking me on a date?" Callie laughed of course she was joking but she did think Roberta was a very good looking young woman and maybe in the old days she would be someone she would of taken interest to but they were just good friend s and often had been a shoulder for Callie to cry on and she also helped Callie see Arizona's point of view and also spent a few drunk nights together in the cove.

"Um, um" Roberta was a little shocked.

"Chill Robbie I was only joking of course I would like that I need a night off, I will have to ask my father to watch Sofia for the night but I'm sure that won't be a problem"

"Ok great so there is this new bar that has opened down near the pier that I've wanted to check out and I hope you like Italian because there is a great Italian restaurant just around the corner from the bar." Roberta said nervously hoping Callie would like her ideas.

"Sounds great, so I guess it's a date then" Callie winked and laughed nudging Roberta in the side.

Roberta smiled and nodded, she thought Callie was great and drop dead gorgeous but she had to keep reminding herself that she couldn't go there no matter what.

Arizona and Alex rocked their surgery as always she thanked Alex again and told him she would see him later she had to go find Owen. She went to the pit and Owen was nowhere to be seen she then made her way to his office, finding Owen in his office she gentle knocked on his door.

"Dr Robbins please come in"

Arizona walked in and took a seat.

"How can I help you?"

"Um I was just wondering if I can take a few days of absence starting tomorrow? I know its short notice but there is something I really need to do"

"Oh ok" Owen nodded.

"How many days were you thinking?"

"Three days at the most" hoping it will only take that long to convince Callie to come home and prove to her that she is truly sorry.

"It shouldn't be a problem, it seems whatever you have to do is important so I'm happy to give you the time off plus you've been working really hard this past week and racked up lots of overtime"

"Thank you so much Owen I really appreciate it" Arizona smiled.

"We will just push back non urgent surgeries and anything that needs addressing while your away Karev can cover."

"Thank you and yes it is very important to me and Karev will do great his been taught well but if there is anything you need while I'm off please don't hesitate to call me as I will have my phone."

"I'm sure we will be fine Arizona but I will keep that in mind but if you would excuse me I have to get going"

"No worries, thank you again Owen"

Arizona made her way back up to the peds ward and into her office to book flights for tomorrow she didn;t know if she was doing the right thing but she knew deep down she had to try she couldn't just sit around and wait any longer she needed her Calliope and Sofia.
