Callie's POV

There was no smell of bacon when I woke up the next morning. No breakfast tray waiting for me, no good smells, good sounds or friendly noises. There was nothing. Only silence. I was alone. The realization hit me like a brick almost as soon as I woke up. I stirred in bed, looking for him but just as suddenly I remembered….he had left me.

I called the hospital and took the day off as sick leave. I knew the chief would be mad at me but right now I felt that was the least of my worries. I got up from bed and went to the bathroom. When I saw myself in the mirror I looked like an alcoholic waking up from an all night binge. My eyes were swollen, my mouth felt dry, my stomach was in my throat and my whole body felt battered. It had been a hell of a night, in fact a hell of a week. I knew I still had the choice he had given me. I could still have the abortion and then he would come back, but if he did, what would we have now? Mutual resentment, anger and finally hatred. I now knew that if I gave up the baby for him, I would eventually hate him. In a week, we had managed to destroy what I had considered a decent marriage but maybe I had been blind all along…but it's hard to accept that your husband is probably in love with another woman and doesn't want to have a child with you.

I was dragged out of my inner musing by the sound of my phone ringing. For a desperate moment I still hoped it was George thinking that maybe he had come to his senses and changed his mind. I picked it up with a hopeful croak. It was Addison. Even after her moving to LA we had remained close and spoke atleast once a week. I made an excuse and hung up quickly. I loved Addie but I wasn't sure I wanted to talk to her right now. I wanted to be alone for a while to lick my wounds and the only person I wanted to talk to right now was George.

The phone rang again a couple of hours later and it was Addie calling back. She was quick to guess that something was wrong.

"Are you sick?" she asked worriedly.

"More or less…."I sniffed.

"What's wrong Cal?" she asked gently.

"George and I….he….he left me.." I squeaked out and then started to cry again. It was nice to hear a kind voice that I couldn't control my emotions anymore.

"I'm sorry Cal. I really am. Is there anything I can do?"

"No I'll be ok."

"Sure you will." Addie tried to encourage me. "You know no matter how much we think we can't live without Mr. McDreamy, we always can. Trust me I know. Six months from now, you may even be glad this happened." she said trying to cheer me up.

"I doubt that" I said not believing her words at all.

"Wait and see" she spoke convincingly but I knew something she didn't. "Six months from now you may be having a sizzling romance with some hottie you haven't met yet who makes George feel like Porky pig." she continued.

Suddenly at those words I burst out laughing. The image was too comical to resist. In six months I would be seven months pregnant and the one feeling like Porky pig. "I highly doubt that" I sighed.

"How can you be so sure?" she asked.

"Because I'm pregnant."

There was a moment of silence and then there were excited squeals at the other end "That's so great Cal. This is the best news." she happily squealed.

"That's why he left. He doesn't want kids with me." I sniffed.

"He'll come back. He's just being an idiot and over reacting. Give him a week and he'll be back groveling for forgiveness." she said confidently.

"I hope you are right" I then thanked her for her support and hung up.

I then decided to take a nap and then take a walk. I needed to get away from the room…..sitting here alone was driving me crazy.

Arizona's POV

My flight from LA to Seattle had landed 15 minutes ago and I was impatiently waiting at the baggage claim for our bags to arrive. I was dead tired and all I wanted was to get to Archfield hotel and get some sleep before I reported for my first day of work at Seattle grace hospital tomorrow.

As I left the airport and hailed a taxi I felt freer than I had in a long time. I loved LA but at the same time I had seriously needed to get away and make a fresh start.

I drifted off into a light sleep on the cab ride to the hotel and in my sleep I was haunted by the sad faces of the two boys who I couldn't have loved more even if they had been my own sons…..Aiden and Danny Jr…my dead brother's children.

They had both been heart broken to see me ago. They had clung to my legs and begged me not to leave.

"Will you come back to see me?" Four year old Danny had asked me with his big blue eyes.

I had promised them to call them to Seattle for visits soon and left before my resolve shattered entirely.

As I woke from my light sleep, I still felt horrible. Leaving them had been the hardest thing I ever had to do but I knew I had to be strong for their sake. I cheered myself with the thought of them visiting Seattle soon and before I knew it the taxi had pulled up at the Archfield hotel.

I approached the front desk looking around at the opulent hotel and then almost like a comedy film I bumped into someone and we both ended up on the floor and I found myself staring at the face of the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

Callie's POV

I was heading out of the hotel for my walk when someone bumped into me and literally tackled me to the floor. I found myself looking into ocean blue eyes that were warm and friendly. She looked to be about my age. She looked like someone who enjoyed her life and was at ease with herself and people around her.

"Hello" she greeted me perkily.

"Hello" I replied in a small voice.

Arizona's POV

"Are you staying here" I asked not wanting to stop talking to her. She looked tired and pale and subdued, as if she'd just been through a lot. I had never felt so drawn towards someone I didn't know. I felt this weird urge to protect her.

"Yes I am " she answered quietly.

I stared at her feeling a little akward and then I burst out into a laugh "Doesn't it make you feel like a kid again when you bump into people and knock them over? Hi, I'm Arizona…what's your name…Gee, are you in my math class?" I said in my best schoolgirl voice and we both burst out laughing.

She had a beautiful laugh…..I wanted to hear more of that.

Callie's POV

"I'm Callie" I smiled and shook her hand. Maybe I should have said "Hi I'm Callie O Malley, my whole life is falling apart, my husband left me and I am having a baby." I shook my head at my internal thoughts.

"It was nice meeting you Arizona. Don't go bumping into any poles now." I teased her before turning around to leave.

Little did I know that Arizona kept standing in the same spot watching me walk away, her eyes trailing my every move.
