Hey guys! I had a wonderful vacation, thanks for asking! I'm so glad you are enjoying this. Here's the next chapter!


After a few days of Callie taking care of Arizona, she was finally able to return to work. She had been out for almost a week and she was itching to get back into the O.R. Though she had several surgeries that were taken over by other pediatric surgeons while she was gone, there were a few that she was able to hold off on. Her day was rather busy with all that she got to reschedule, but that was how Arizona liked it. She felt healthy and happy to be back at work. As she put her lab coat on she spotted Addison walking towards her.

"Hey Robbins, how are you feeling?" Addison asked as she began walking alongside Arizona.

"Really good actually. Thanks for asking." Arizona responded.

"Wonderful." Addison said with a smile, "So I was wondering if you're not too busy today maybe you could help me with a surgery? With the McCarthy baby? I know you just got back, but I figured there would be no one better to have in there with me than you." Addison said sounding rather excited about the procedure. Arizona checked her watch.

"Crap. I'm sorry, I really can't today. I'm super busy. You should ask Benson." Addison had a look of disappointment, "You could take Karev off of my service too. He could help you out." Arizona offered.

"Um, okay. Thanks." Addison said quickly, "Glad you're feeling better." Addison said. Arizona gave a weak smile and continued walking. She felt terrible for saying no, but she already had a lot on her plate from being out for so long. She knew that she needed to get her surgeries done today. Her patients were kind enough to wait for her to return, she didn't want to let them down again. Arizona continued walking as Addison left her side and turned the corner. Addison found Callie using her phone while sitting on a chair, waiting outside of PEDS. She plopped herself down next to her and let out an annoyed breath. Callie laughed.

"Rough day already?"

"Not rough yet. Just bummed. Your little girlfriend ditched me." Addison said as she lifted her glasses and placed them on her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Callie asked curious to what she was referring to.

"With the McCarthy baby." Callie looked at her as if she was waiting for her to continue, "Well she didn't exactly ditch me, but I asked her to help me out today and she's too busy."

"Really?" Callie sat up in her chair.

"I don't know, I asked nicely. I figured she'd want to help especially because you're so close to the mom and all, but she said no. She said I should just ask Benson for help."

"Benson?" Callie said angrily, "She just got here, we don't know how she operates. What if something goes wrong?"

"Callie, she is a decent surgeon, I'm sure she'll do fine. Even if she's not at least I'm in there, right? I just really thought Arizona would do it. Hopefully the little baby pulls through."

"Yeah, I hope so too." Callie said quietly. Addison gave a hopeful smile and placed her hand on Callie's knee before she got up to leave. Callie was confused as to why Arizona wouldn't help Addison out. She wanted to see if she could persuade her to do the surgery. She was the only person, besides Addison, that she trusted to work on Kylie's baby. She knew how devastated Kylie would be if something went wrong. Thinking about something going wrong made Callie get more and more annoyed with the thought of Arizona not helping. She wanted to go looking for Arizona, but she was running out of time to spend with Kylie. She had gotten to work early, like she had been doing for the past two weeks or so to check in on her and today was no different. Callie knew she was going to be discharged soon and she wanted to make sure she was okay with everything that was going on with her and the baby. She walked down the hall and knocked on Kylie's door. She opened it slowly and poked her head in.

"Hey Callie." Kylie said sitting up in her bed.

"Hey. How's it going?" Callie said tucking a piece of hair behind her ear out of nervous habit.

"I'm okay. My hand doesn't really hurt today, neither does my stomach. Little pain is better than what I've been feeling lately." She said smiling.

"That's great. You know, you'll be out of here soon." Callie said taking a seat.

"Yeah I know." She said sounding defeated, "I'm just bummed I can't take her with me." Kylie said referring to her daughter.

"I know." Callie wasn't sure what else she should say.

"Her surgery is at two. Dr. Montgomery said she'd do her best with the other doctors." Hearing this made Callie upset that Arizona wouldn't be one of those doctors.

"Yeah, they'll do their best work. They always do." Callie said trying to reassure her. She gave a weak smile and leaned back into her chair. Kylie sat up and ran her hand through her hair out of nervous habit.

"So is your girlfriend doing the surgery?" Kylie said nervously.

"Arizona?" Callie asked.

"Yeah, unless you have another one I don't know about." Kylie said laughing. Callie laughed as well. She was taken aback by Kylie asking about Arizona doing the surgery, "I heard some guy, I think Dr. Montgomery was calling him Karev? He was saying that he was supposed to be on Dr. Robbins service today? And Dr. Montgomery said that there was a change of plans. I don't know. I guess I shouldn't have been listening to them argue." Kylie said embarrassed, "But they were standing right outside my door, so I had no choice really." Kylie added.

"No, it's fine. He shouldn't have said anything to begin with. She's not doing your babies surgery today." Callie said.

"Oh. Okay." Kylie said looking disappointed and Callie could tell. Over the last couple of days Callie has been telling her what a great surgeon Arizona was. She now felt bad for bragging about her. Kylie let out a nervous breath, "Her infection is getting worse. I can tell that their downplaying how sick she is. I'm just really scared. I still haven't been allowed to hold her. I just want this all to be over already, ya know?" Kylie said with a single tear falling down her cheek.

"I know." Callie responded quietly.

"I just want to hold her, at least once. I don't even know if I'll get the chance to." Kylie began to cry, "I shouldn't have been so stupid. All because I tripped down a few steps. Who does that? My parents were right, I'm just this idiot who got knocked up."

"You're not an idiot. This, your fall, it was all an accident. It wasn't your fault." Callie said, "You just have to hope for the best. I know everyone is doing everything they can for her." Callie felt like she was lying, Arizona wasn't doing anything for the baby. Kylie nodded and Callie smiled trying to let her know it was going to be alright. Callie got up and gave her a hug. She let go and began walking out of the room.

"Thanks again Callie. Ya know, for dealing with my teen soap opera drama. You're the best." Kylie said with a small smile on her face.

"You're welcome. I'll see you later." Callie said as she closed the door behind her. Hearing Kylie call herself an idiot and believing what her parents had to say about her made Callie upset. For Callie the hospital was supposed to be a place where doctors did everything in their power to help people and save them. At this point she knew she had to talk to Arizona. She wanted to at least try to get her to scrub in with Addison. She looked around to see if she could find her. It didn't take her very long. Callie walked over to the nurses station where Arizona filling in a chart. She walked up next to her and didn't speak. She was really upset with the fact that she wasn't even going to try and make time to scrub in. Arizona lifted her head for a moment to check who was now beside her and smiled at Callie.

"Hey you." She said as she continued to fill the chart in. Callie didn't smile back or really acknowledge her. She looked around for a moment to see if there were a lot of people around. She knew this might turn into an argument and she didn't want the entire hospital to know their business, but she figured if she didn't ask Arizona now there would be no time to ask later.

"Why aren't you gonna do the surgery?" She bluntly asked.

"What surgery?" Arizona questioned still not lifting her head from her chart.

"With Addison." She responded quickly.

"Oh. I told her already, I don't have time."

"Okay, but this baby really needs the surgery today." Callie said in an angry tone.

"Okay, but I can't do it today. I told her she should ask Benson, I even gave her Karev."

"Benson and Karev, Arizona?" Callie said annoyed.

"Yes, Benson and Karev." Arizona looked up from her chart for the first time since Callie came over to talk, "Benson is a good surgeon and Karev is more than qualified to help her, she should know that. Why did she send you over here to ask me again anyways?" Arizona now began to feel annoyed.

"She didn't send me. I wanted to ask you." Callie said, "Do you seriously think they're gonna do a better job than you would?"

"I don't know Callie, I guess we'll find out." Arizona said beginning to walk away with her chart.

"You're not even gonna try?" Callie said as she followed her.

"I can't do the surgery today. End of story." Arizona said. Callie rolled her eyes, "What is your issue?"

"My issue is that that baby needs that surgery and you're not doing a damn thing about it." Callie said. Arizona now looked around to see if people were staring at them.

"She's getting the surgery, without me. Those surgeons will be fine, without me. I am now leaving to go perform one of the many surgery that I have scheduled for today. I'm not changing my mind." Arizona spoke sternly.

"Fine." Callie responded. Arizona could tell she was annoyed at her, but Callie walked away before they could make any further conversation.

Callie had gone through her day without seeing Arizona after their little argument. She was really annoyed at the whole situation, but she began to feel bad for being so bitchy to Arizona. She just wished that Arizona had made more of an effort to help. She had heard from Addison that the surgery went well and that if all things went as planned the baby would be just fine. She hadn't been able to stop by Kylie's room since the surgery was completed, but she knew she probably felt so much better after hearing that she'd soon get to hold her baby. Callie headed towards Kylie's room. She could hear laughing coming from inside the room. The door was already opened when Callie stepped in. She was surprised to see a young, handsome looking guy by Kylie's bedside. Kylie was smiling like Callie had never seen before.

"Callie, did you hear? Brianna is gonna be okay." Kylie said with an excited voice.

"Brianna?" Callie questioned. She was confused as to what was going on.

"Yeah, we decided on a name." She said holding the hand of the young man sitting next to her.

"We?" Callie asked.

"Oh, god. Right, Callie this is my boyfriend Brandon. Brandon this is Callie." She was shocked to learn that Kylie's boyfriend had returned after bailing on her without warning or reasoning. They had discussed him a few times while Callie kept her company, but she didn't think he would return. Or that Kylie would take him back. Callie didn't want to be rude so she shook his hand as he got up from his chair.

"It's nice to meet you. Thanks for taking care of them. We can't wait to hold her." He said politely. Callie nodded.

"Hey Brandon, why don't you go get me some ice chips or something?" Kylie asked as she could tell how uncomfortable the situation seemed. She knew Callie was probably disappointed in her, but she wanted a chance to talk to her without Brandon in the room.

"Yeah, sure thing. Awesome meeting you." Brandon said as he left the room. Callie moved closer to the bed.

"Explain, please?" Callie said as she sat down.

"Okay, so he finally called me earlier because I text him about Brianna having her surgery today. He said how he felt terrible for leaving me and that I didn't deserve that, how he was going to be the best dad and boyfriend ever. He just seemed so upset over the phone, so I told him he should stop by so we could talk in person. He showed up. Callie, he came back!" Kylie said with the biggest smile on her face.

"That's great Kylie, but are you sure you're okay with all of this?" Callie felt like she was making a rash decision.

"I believe him when he says he won't hurt me again. He said he felt confused and overwhelmed with everything when I told him I was pregnant, but now he see's that I'm the one he can't live without. And Brianna too. I think he just needed time away to figure out what I meant to him and what he wanted from us. Sometimes people deserve to be heard, even if they hurt us." Kylie said grabbing Callie's hand, "Isn't this great? I have a family." Callie didn't want to give a comment to ruin her happiness, so she just nodded in response. Brandon returned with the ice chips and Callie got up from the chair. She began leaving the room and looked back at the two young lovers who had just reunited. Was it possible for someone to leave you so broken hearted and you just forgive them in a heart beat? Was it really that he just needed time to reevaluate what he wanted and sort through all the emotions that he felt for her? Did people really deserve to be heard even after breaking your heart? Could someone walk away from you, but return because they were so lost without you? Callie could feel herself getting emotional and she wasn't exactly sure why. Shortly after leaving the room she could feel herself getting upset and angry.

The day was coming to an end for Arizona and she was completely wiped out. She wanted nothing more than to go home and go to bed. She had pushed aside the drama that transpired between her and Callie earlier so she could get through her day, but now that it was over she knew she'd have to face the music. Arizona had just changed out of her scrubs when had found Karev wondering around the hall looking for an empty on call room with Wilson. Before they could enter the room and get it on like two horny high school kids she was able to stop them and ask him how the surgery had gone with Addison. She was thankful to be informed that nothing went wrong and that the baby was going to be fine. She didn't want to upset Callie, but Arizona handled the situation how she felt she should. Still looking back she wouldn't have changed her decision. She didn't want to cancel on her patients that have been waiting for their surgeries since she's been out. She had an obligation to them and she wasn't going to break that. She had confidence in Karev, Benson, and Addison. She knew that they'd be fine. She just wished that Callie could understand where she was coming from, but it was evident that she wasn't understanding. She wanted to find her to sort out their argument. She knew the first place she should look, the NICU. She found her standing there looking into the glass at the small children fighting for their lives. She walked up next to Callie. She didn't speak right away. After a moment of silence she brushed her hand behind her ear.

"So Karev said the baby is fine. She should be out of the woods." Arizona said with her hands in her pockets as both her and Callie faced toward the window.

"Addison already told me." Callie said barely above a whisper, "Her name is Brianna by the way." She didn't look towards her. Arizona could tell how angry she still was.

"Are you seriously still mad at me?" Arizona said now facing Callie. She didn't answer her, "Calliope - " Arizona began to speak.

"No, do not Calliope me. I asked you for help today and you said no." Callie said looking into her eyes.

"You didn't ask me for help. Addison did and I said that I was sorry, but I couldn't. And she understood that I couldn't. You on the other hand cannot get over the fact that I just couldn't help her today." Arizona said. She looked around to see if anyone was listening to them and began speaking again, "Callie, what do you want from me?" She asked quietly.

"I just wanted you to help. I wanted you to do that for me, but clearly you couldn't." Callie said loudly.

"Well the way you went about asking for my help was wrong. You didn't ask, you just got upset and angry with me. I knew that Addison would be fine doing it without me. And I gave her two fabulous doctors to help out and the baby turned out to be okay. Do not act like I didn't at least try to help." She could feel herself yelling and took a breath. She lowered her tone and continued speaking, "I was busy today Callie. Yes you're my girlfriend, but this is work and I couldn't just drop everything to help you."

"That's the difference between us, I guess. Cause if you asked me, I'd drop anything to help you." Callie said finally facing Arizona. She didn't even let Arizona speak before walking away. She couldn't understand why Callie was so upset. She seemed so much angrier than when she talked to her earlier. She got the fact that she cared a lot about her patients and that made her emotional. Kylie in particular because she saw so much of herself in the young mother, but she didn't think that Callie would turn her not being able to help out into as big of an argument as it had become. It just didn't seem right to her. She felt like something more was going on with her. They had gotten into a few misunderstandings since beginning their relationship that they were able to fix rather quickly, but this was their first full fledged fight and Arizona hated it.


Please don't hate me for them having a fight. If you truly come to think about it, all of their past "fights" have been misunderstanding's not actual fights. All couples have a disagreement as some point. I'm hoping people can understand how Brandon returning to Kylie has brought out some emotion within Callie.I just wanted to make somethings clear...

1. Callie is not falling for Kylie romantically in any way, shape, or form. AT ALL.

2. Kylie and Co. will most likely not be in many more chapters.

3. Just because a couple fights doesn't necessarily mean that they're breaking up.

PLEASE STAY TUNED GUYS & GALS.
