Callie's POV

Arizona picked me up the next morning at 10 o clock. She was waiting outside my room in jeans, a UCLA sweatshirt, a sun hat and sneakers. In one hand she was carrying a picnic basket and in the other a beach bag full of towels, creams, books and a Frisbee.

I laughed when I saw her "You look about fourteen in that outfit."

"Is that a compliment or a reproach?" she smiled.

"Compliment definitely." I smiled back as we walked towards where my T bird was parked.

"I am in love with your car, by the way" she said happily.

I felt pleased at the compliment. "So am I. Everybody's been trying to get me to give it up for years but I can't. I love it too much. It's part of me." I smiled.

The drive to Madison beach was filled with easy conversation and listening to good music. Once we reached we picked a comfortable spot and lay our towels down. My stomach picked this exact moment to let out a loud growl and we both burst out laughing.

"That sounded like a cue for let's eat." She grinned while opening up the picnic basket.

She laid out a delicious looking spread of steaks, salad and garlic bread.

"Bon appetit." She toasted me with a glass of diet coke.

"What can't you do?" I asked slightly in awe.

"I'm rotten at sports. I can't build a fire in the wilderness to save my life. Aiden has to do it when we go camping. And I'm terrified of airplanes." It definitely seemed a short list compared to what she could do.

"It's nice to know that you are human." I replied teasingly.

"What about you Callie? What aren't you good at?"

"I hate skiing. I always fall flat on my butt. Not a huge fan of computers. I hate woods and the many many bugs you find in them. And compromising. I'm not good at compromising about what I believe in."

"I would consider that a virtue and not a flaw wouldn't you?" she asked thoughtfully.

"Sometimes. But it can cost you a lot as well." I sighed. "Would you stick by what you believed in, no matter how anyone else felt?" I asked curious to hear her answer.

"I come from a military family but yet I have been openly gay since I was seventeen years old so my answer is yes." She smiled. It felt good to get a confirmation of what I had suspected…..calm down Callie…..you just want to be her friend.

We spent a few more hours at the beach just talking about our childhoods, books , places we had visited. It started getting dark and then we drove back to the Archfield. Arizona insisted on walking me to my room.

"I had a wonderful day Callie. I hope you know that." She said softly.

"So have I" I smiled happily before entering my room.

I looked at my cell phone and saw I had five missed calls from an unknown number.

I called back immediately and it was a man named Larry Allman.

"Mrs. O Malley?"

"Yes."

"Your husband asked me to call you."

My heart stopped at his words "Has he been in an accident? Is he alright?"

"No, he's fine. I'm representing him. I'm an attorney."

I felt confused as I listened to him. Why had George told an attorney to call me? "Is something wrong" I asked.

"I thought perhaps your husband might have said something to you. But I see that he hasn't. Your husband is filing for dissolution Mrs. O Malley."

"I'm sorry, I ….I don't understand. What is this all about?" I asked numbly.

"A dissolution Mrs. O Malley." He spoke as gently as he could. "A divorce. Your husband wants a divorce."

"I see…isn't that a little hasty?"

"I asked him if he would like counseling with you, but he insists there are irreconcilable differences."

Yeah irreconcilable differences like I was pregnant with his baby and he was in love with that blonde hussy.

"Can I refuse? The divorce I mean" I closed my eyes trying not to cry into the phone or the man would think I was a fool.

"No you can't refuse. You or Mr. O Malley have the right to file for dissolution without the consent of your spouse." He explained.

"When will the divorce go through?" It didn't really matter except it would have been nice to be married when I had the baby.

"Around mid December." He replied.

Wonderful…..two weeks before the baby was due….Boy was I glad he had called me.

"Is that all?" I asked feeling exhausted.

"Yes …I'll be sending you some papers soon."

"Thank you." I hung up then and wiped my eyes with my still shaking hands.

Arizona's POV

It had been three days since I last saw Callie….and I missed her.

We had both been crazy busy with work but I promised myself I would go find her today and make sure everything was okay with her. I had a few hours before my next surgery and decided to grab a quick lunch and then get some shut eye in an on call room.

I quickly paid for my turkey sandwich and diet coke and headed to a table right next to where the residents were sitting.

I spotted Alex Karev…..a grumpy resident who had shown an unexpected aptitude for peds looking even grumpier than usual. "Are you ok Alex? Are you still bummed about Izzie?" Meredith asked him.

"What's not to be bummed about Mer? She never gave me a second chance but she's happily playing Romeo and Juliet with O Malley especially now that he's dumped Torres. It totally sucks dude." He grouched.

My ears couldn't help but perk up even more when I heard Callie's name….what the hell was going on here?

"I am sorry Alex." Meredith placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I know. But the person who's gotten really stitched in this whole mess is Torres." He sighed.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing…Callie and her husband weren't together anymore….why didn't she tell me….

Though I wanted answers I was not going to ask Callie and cause her more pain. I would wait for when she was ready to talk me.

My head hurt with this newly acquired information and I decided to head to the on call room for a nap. As I entered the on call room I could hear someone sobbing inside and my heart froze when I saw it was Callie.

"Oh…I'm sorry…I didn't mean to….I guess this is a bad time." I rambled not wanting to intrude.

"No….actually…it's fine" she said before starting to sob again. "It's just….I'm not…I can't.." she wasn't even making sense as I walked over to her and gently rubbed her shoulders.

"Take it easy Callie. It's going to be alright. Whatever it is, it'll get straightened out sooner or later. Looks like you've had a hell of a day." I said sympathetically.

"It's been quite a day." She blew her nose again and looked at me with a mixture of embarrassment and appreciation. "First I lost a patient and then my husband's attorney called again." She said with a trembling voice.

"Attorney? What's he calling you for?" I scowled feeling extremely protective of her.

"He called to tell me that George…." Her voice dropped so low that I could barely hear her " ….just filed for dissolution, a week ago actually."

Though I knew from over hearing Alex in the cafeteria that they were separated her obvious anguish still hit me hard.

"Does that come as a shock to you Callie?" I asked gently.

"Yes. I never thought he would actually do it."

"How long has this been going on?"

"A month or so" she whimpered."I'm sorry. I'm a mess"

"You have a right to be. Can you take the rest of the day off? I'll drive you back to the Archfield."

She shook her head sadly "I still have two more surgeries."

"What do you think brought this on? Or is it none of my business?"

"We just wanted different things and he may have been in love with someone else." She sounded defeated.

"Can I do anything to help?" I asked feeling helpless.

"Can you give me a hug?" she asked sounding like a lost child.

I immediately took her in my arms and rubbed soothing circles on her back till her breathing evened out and she fell asleep. I tightened my grip protectively.

There was only one thought going through my mind…I wanted to kick George O Malley's ass and hit him with the biggest brick I could find.
