"You're going to be late again!" Alex says coming up behind Arizona at the nurses' station.
"No I'm not, I'm signing my last chart and I'm leaving."
"Good because she will kill you of your late a third time." Alex says chuckling.
"Annnnnnd I'm done." Arizona smiles finishing off her signature and closing the chart. "Jones need to be discharged and a VIP patient is getting flown in at 4, I should be back by then but in case I'm not make sure you meet them on the roof please." Arizona rattles off as Alex follows her to the elevator.
"I'm on it boss you just relax and enjoy picking out wedding crap." Alex says smiling as Arizona glares at him as she steps on the elevator.
Arizona smirks and holds the doors open. "You just wait till you have to do the whole wedding thing. You'll understand where I'm coming from." Arizona giggles as Alex's smile falls and his face turns pale. "And because I'm awesome I will be there to help you through it all." Arizona watches relief wash over his face, holding up her fist Alex smiles and bumps his against it.
"Good luck Robbins!" Alex calls just as the doors close.
'It's currently 3 o'clock in the afternoon on this rare sunny afternoon in Seattle. The traffic is moving slow on the 99 so if you can find another way to your destination if you're not already on. A report of a robbery taking place earlier at the National Bank, police are still in pursuit of a man in his mid-thirties, Caucasian with black hair and a pink scar down the right side of his check. In other news…'
"Great…" Arizona groans changing to the CD player as she sees the traffic slow down ahead. "Now I'm going to be late. And now I'm talking to myself."
Blue eyes travel over to the passenger floor with a pink and black box from Victoria's Secret. Smiling to herself as she pictures Calliope in the little number she purchased yesterday. Squeezing her legs together she focuses back to in front of her and sees the traffic still hasn't moved. Letting her head drop back she closes her eyes and breathes through her nose. Lists of things to do and purchase run through her mind, the more they plan for this wedding the more the list grows.
If she had known this was what happens when you plan for a wedding she would have eloped instead of all this. But every time she pictures Callie in a wedding dress her stomach twists and explodes with butterflies.
Arizona's ripped out of her thoughts when her door is swung open. "What th-."
"Get out of the car!" A man yells as he waves a gun in her face. Blue eyes widen, hands shake as she reaches to undo her belt quickly grabbing her bag. "I said out now!"
"Ok." Arizona whispers moving to slide out, her foot getting wedged behind the pedal in the process. Heart racing she pulls her on her foot just as she feels a hand grab her upper arm and pull.
"Lady hurry up!" he yells and before she knows what's going on a shot rings off making her go deaf in one ear as pain shoots through her thigh just as her foot becomes unstuck and she's on the road.
"Fuck…" Arizona huffs as her hands and elbows scratch on the ground, tears falling down her cheeks as she turns to look up as the guy jumps in her car. His eyes are scarred and wild looking. "Can yo-."
BANG!
White hot pain slices through her side as she hears wheels screech and take off. Looking up she sees blue sky with fluffy white clouds floating on by as she tries to take deep breathes, the pain taking over all her senses.
She hers people yelling and in the distance sirens wailing, different sets of eyes pop in front of her and finger pushing into her neck seeing how week her pulse is. Arizona's getting more and more light headed the longer she lays there, every breathe feels like she's being burned which she knows means her lung is most probably collapsing.
Blue eyes shut and a memory of Callie and Indie at the park, Callie pushing Indie in the swing with her little smile getting bigger and bigger the higher she goes and her giggles becoming non-stop. Arizona looks passed Indie towards Callie and gets a megawatt smile in return and wink as she continues to push her little girl. Indies two teeth grin with a little drool dropping on her shirt is the last thing Arizona sees before everything goes black.
"Give mama a kiss." Callie says as she leans Indie over and lays a slobber kiss on Arizona's chin. "Thanks for taking her, I think she was going a bit crazy being in day care." Callie sighs.
"No problem Torres, Aria just left work so she will be here soon. I start at 7 tomorrow so I'll bring squirt here in with me. I assume you're staying the night?" Alex asks as indie lays her head down on his chest.
"You don't mind having her for the night?" Alex shakes his head. "That would really help out, Momma and Daniel fly in from the vacation tomorrow morning so you will only have her for tonight, there's breast milk in the fridge, she still has her 6am feed. Thanks heaps."
Alex nods looking into red puffy eyes of his boss/best friends fiancés eyes that are filled with unshed tears. "She'll be ok Callie, she's out of the woods. Say bye bye mommy." Indie waves her chubby hand and puckers her lips toward her mami.
"Bye." She says kissing Callie's cheek.
"Bye Mija, I love you and I'll see you tomorrow."
Callie closes the door after Alex leaves and rests her forehead against the door taking a deep breath as more tears fall.
"Hey." Callie's head whips around at the voice to see the blue eyes she's been praying to come back and she feels new tears fall. Callie's voice is gone, no words filter to her brain, she takes three big strides and cups paled cheeks and brushes her lips against pink ones.
"Hey." Callie croaks. "I was so scared I would lose you." Callie half sobs.
"I'm not going anywhere babe." Arizona whispers breathing in the scent that is purely calliope and feeling wetness fall onto her cheeks. "I love you too much for you to get rid of me." Arizona says smiling.
Callie pulls back and looks into the eyes she's studied for hours. "I love you too." Plump lips softly caress Arizona's in a soft kiss.
"I got shot." Arizona says, tears coming to her eyes making Callie stiffen.
"Yeah." Callie breathes.
"I was so scared, I… I had a present for you… in the car."
"Don't even worry about it, all that matters right now is that your alive and breathing we can worry about everything else later." Callie sooths, kissing Arizona's temple. "I'm going to page Christina to come do your check-up."
"Robbins, good to see you're awake." Christina comment walking into the room, Callie clutching Arizona's hand with a death grip as they whisper to each other. "This is all a little extreme just to get out of wedding planning you know." Christina says making Arizona laugh but wince at the pain. "Sorry." Christina goes about her exam and checking the wound and writing down her vitals. "The bullet to your side only nicked your lung so I put a small patch over it, it's just going to burn when taking deep breaths for a while. Dr. Salv will be in about your thigh, apparently the bullet lodged into you femur."
"Thanks Yang."
"No probs, Robbins. See you this afternoon." Christina does a curt nod and leaves.
"It's going to be a bitch to walk isn't it?" Arizona asks.
"Yup, but lucky you've got me to help with physical therapy… and sponge baths." Callie says waggling her eyebrows.
"I like the sound of that." Arizona says showing a real smile, dimples and all.
"I've got the fortress of tiny humans under control boss. You just focus on healing and besides I see you every night anyway at home." Alex says wheeling Arizona back to her room.
"Good point and I do trust you with my fortress it's just nerve racking is all." Arizona huffs and slumps in the wheel chair.
"There you are. I thought you made you escape already." Callie says signing the last of the discharge papers.
"Mama." Indie says clapping her hands in excitement and running from Mommas legs. Alex bending down to scoop her up into Arizona's lap.
"Hi, Baby girl." Arizona beams as little arms loop around her neck. "Hey momma."
"Callie was about to send out a search party for you." Momma says picking up Arizona's bags.
"Just saying good bye to the kids in the fortress. We ready babe?"
"Yup everything is set, I get a week at home with my two favourite girls."
"Teddy and Tim will be over for dinner later, momma is cooking." Callie says pushing Arizona's wheel chair.
"Did you make cookies?" Arizona asks excitedly.
"Of course I did sweetie." Momma D scoffs.
"Awesome!" Arizona says tickling Indies sides.
"Callieeeee. Callieeeeee." Arizona calls out.
"I'm coming, just a sec babe." Callie's calls back, Indie refusing to eat her broccoli.
"I got it dear, you go help Arizona." Daniel says smiling as he picks up Indies fork making eating sounds.
"Thanks." Callie breaths walking towards the downstairs bathroom. "You ok babe?"
Arizona's lying in the tub with her right leg propped up on a stool so no water gets on the cast. "hey sexy lady, I want to get out." Arizona pouts holding up her hands.
"On the count of 3. 1…2…3." Callie huffs trying to take most of Arizona's wait so she doesn't exert herself. Callie grabs the towel and wraps it around Arizona before scooping her arm under her knees making Arizona squeal as she carries her to the guest room.
"I could have made it on the crutches Calliope." Arizona says giggling.
"Well you're a bit loopy after the pain meds I gave you and I thought you wouldn't want to give everyone a strip show if your towel feel on the way." Callie says joking.
"Ahh, fair point." Callie lowers Arizona on the bed and grabs her p.j's.
"You dressing yourself?" Callie asks get a shake of the head from Arizona raises her arms. "You're lucky I love you and adorable." Callie comments helping Arizona with her top before she flops down on the bed with a goofy smile.
"Love you tooooo." Arizona half mumbles eyes already closing. Slipping sweat pants up Arizona's legs Callie just smiles as little snores start to come from Arizona. Chuckling to herself, Callie gently lifts Arizona's legs up and places the cover over her. Sweeping blonde hair out of her face Callie studies the light sheen of freckles over Arizona's nose and he slightly parted lips, a couple of days ago she almost lost her. The thought of that has stomach twist and turn not in a good way.
Placing a light kiss on Arizona's forehead and then lips, Callie can't help but smile at the whimper then sigh that comes from Arizona.
"Sweet dreams baby." Callie whispers and closes the door quietly.
i no its short. sorry!
