A/N: In response to a guest review which was title Hey…I am not a teenager I am a fully grown adult who is legal to drink, smoke, and get the death penalty. I have been in an abusive relationship and I have been cheated on time and time again but I was a good man in a storm the whole time unlike Arizona! At the time that happened Arizona had some confidence in herself, when I was in an abusive relationship I found myself at the end when I was cornered much like Arizona was standing up for myself because I had gotten a wave of confidence to a point where I saw I couldn't keep being in that situation.

So NO it was not rushed at all…people surprise you when they have surge of confidence and adrenaline! And further more I have more chapters to go, do you seriously think Lauren would hurt Arizona in front of people. No, she is going to hurt her badly though trust me read this chapter and you will see! Maybe I am coming off as harsh here guys but that review upset me because I am a grown adult and I have been in an abusive relationship and had an abusive parent, sometimes you reach a breaking point and you snap and stick up for yourself. I know I did a time or two!

The board meeting was going incredibly slow as Arizona kept shifting in her seat; Callie looked over and noticed the pain Arizona was in. Without think she reached over and begun to rub her hip, instantly Arizona stopped moving. Arizona coughed at the contact trying to cover up a gasp; it felt so good to have Callie touch her even if she was doing it out of instinct. Jackson concluded the meeting for which Arizona paid no attention to any of it the only thing on her mind was Callie's hands touching her, standing up she noticed the pain was gone.

"Thank you, Callie." Arizona replied with a smile that Callie returned.

"Welcome you were in pain and I…"

"Callie it's okay, we are…friends and a friend makes sure their friend is not in pain." Arizona replied trying to ease Callie's worry, setting her hand on Callie's shoulder to reassure her only caused the tendrils of electricity to shoot from them.

"That is true!" Callie smiled excitedly which Arizona returned as they started to walk out. "Arizona could I um…ask you something?"

"You already did." Arizona chuckled causing Callie to give her a glare but one that was in amusement, Arizona felt the nervousness coming from Callie deep down Arizona was hoping it was Callie wanting to ask if they could give it another try. That question Callie did ask caused Arizona's heart to stop beating.

"This woman the other day asked me out and would you mind if I went out with her?" Callie asked hesitantly, Arizona kept her smile plastered on her face but inside her insides were ripping apart.

"No of course not Callie, why would I mind. We are friends now! You have every right to go out and have fun, just let me know the night and I will make sure I pick up Sofia." Arizona smiled cheerily.

"Thank you, Arizona! I didn't know how you would take it, it's just she seems really nice and with everything I need some fun!" Callie smiled as she hugged Arizona who returned it, when the hug broke Arizona felt her heart breaking more.

"Of course, go and have fun!"

"Paging Dr. Torres to the ER. Paging Dr. Torres to the ER." The intercom bellowed.

"Looks like I am needed, I will text you and let you know what she says so we can work something out. Thanks again!" Callie beamed as she turned and ran to the ER leaving Arizona to feel guilt and pain wash over her. As Arizona started to leave she told the nurses to inform the PEDS floor she was going out for lunch and that she would be about an hour but if need be to page her.

"Calliope has a date well she might have a date!" Arizona stated as she paced in Dr. Alexander's office.

"You don't seem happy about that."

"No really Captain Obvious!" Arizona yelled then sighed as she flopped down into the chair all the while watching her leg. "I'm sorry; no I am not happy about it. But I should be I mean I am the one that cheated on my wife!"

"You kissed another woman."

"Yeah, I did." The sorrow in Arizona's voice caused Dr. Alexander to nod his head in agreed sadness.

"It is never easy loving someone, we all make mistakes we are human's we are not perfect. You obviously show regret towards what you did, my question is, was this regret before Lauren started abusing you or after?" Dr. Alexander wrote some things on his notepad and looked up to listen.

"Before, it was right after the kiss. We were having that really bad storm, all the power was out and people were flooding in by the hundreds I swear. Before it had hit Lauren and I had saved a baby's life then continued to save other lives, but some we could not. I don't know what happened, the storm cleared and I was a mess covered in sweat, grim, someone's blood. And we stood in the x-ray room, we were talking and then she started flirting with me."

"You were amazing today." Lauren smiled as she moved closer and placed a hand on Arizona's shoulder.

"Thanks, you were amazing too." Arizona smiled back.

"I am supposed to leave tomorrow."

"Well, I hope your flight goes well." The fear was in Arizona's voice at the mention of a flight.

"You know you shouldn't be afraid, it was one in a million you just got unlucky for it to happen again to you would be very unlikely." Lauren was now standing right next to her only a heartbeat away.

"I know it's just, I have one leg."

"So you keep telling me, listen Arizona I like you a lot! And I know you are married and have a kid but, I can't help it when I am with you I feel it. Don't you? We have something here Arizona and I just…I need you." Lauren whispered as she stepped closed, before Arizona could process her actions she was moving forward and pushing Lauren against the wall and kissing her passionately.

"Arizona, I have been looking for you and the nurses said you were in here with…" Callie trailed off; Arizona broke the kiss and turned towards Callie.

"Callie, this isn't…" But her words were cut off when she saw the tears falling from Callie's eyes.

"You knew what happened with George but you…you." Callie turned and ran out of the room.

"Callie, wait!" Arizona yelled.

"Did you go after her?"

"Of course I did! Lauren tried to stop me but, I felt horrible. When she walked in and I saw her face I felt my entire world crumble, I couldn't believe what I had done." Arizona was rubbing her hands in frustration.

"So you followed tried to explain things, but Callie didn't listen so you moved out?"

"Yeah, I ended up staying in Mark's old apartment which is where I am staying now but it was only for a few days and I found an apartment near the hospital." Arizona replied still rubbing her hands.

"And you started seeing Lauren? Why when you felt so badly for what you did?" Dr. Alexander made some more notes as he asked his questions.

"Not willingly, I was a wreck Lauren was supposed to leave but didn't. She showed up at my apartment, she said she wanted to be my friend and that she was sorry for happened. She said she wasn't a home wrecker and wanted to help me get Callie back and explain to her that it was her fault she flirted with me, and all of that." Arizona started.

"And?"

"And I believed her; I let her into my apartment where we talked. I did nothing but cry over Calliope and my mistake, Lauren hugged me and told me it would be okay, but as the night went on it changed. I asked her to leave but…something snapped in her she said no. I was confused and when I went to show her the door she slammed me against the wall and…" Stopping Arizona took a deep breath.

"What happened Arizona?"

"I don't want to talk about it anymore, it hurts too much." Arizona whispered as she grabbed her chest.

"Okay, we will talk about that some other time when you are more ready. But we are running out of time so what I am going to do is bring us back to Calliope having a date, I can see that you love her and you regret what has happened. Now I can also see that you want her back but only if she will have you, with that I think you need to continue visiting and getting yourself better but also show Calliope you care."

"I agree."

"Good, now my question is can you handle just being friends with her?"

"I want whatever she is willing to give me; I don't deserve any of the kindness she has given me…"

"Yes, you do Arizona. Many people cheat but there is a difference between you and some others that cheat, and that is you feel regret. Many of those that cheat in some way show no regret because they don't think what they did was wrong, but you do. I have many couples I council and when they come in I can tell instantly who is and who isn't going to make it, I try though to help them work through it but it only works when both parties try."

"So you are saying?"

"Try Arizona, try to be a friend to Calliope but also try and show her how hard you are working and that you are trying for yourself and also for her."

Arizona sat with Sofia on the couch waiting for Callie to come out, she had a date with some woman named Tahlia and Arizona was a wreck. When Callie would leave Arizona would go over to what used to be Mark's apartment, just the thought that Callie might have sex with someone else caused a headache to start beating inside Arizona's head. Looking up at the sound of the door opening Arizona's jaw dropped, as Callie came out smiling Arizona found her eyes looking at the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.

"So what do you think?" Callie asked as she spun around, the red dress moving perfectly with the turn. It went to her knees where her amazing, curved legs were on full display, the dress was cut just low enough to leave something to the imagination.

"You look amazing." Arizona replied as she fought back tears, Callie smiled and walked over and picked up Sofia.

"Thanks, I bought it a few months ago." Callie replied, upon hearing that both women fell silent they both knew that a few months ago was before Lauren and that the dress was originally meant for Arizona's eyes. Standing up Arizona took Sofia back and picked up a stuffed bear that the little one loved, once she had her comfortable on her hip she started to walk out.

"I will be at Mark's when you are done with your date you can pick her up, but if you aren't done that is where she will be and I will drop her off at day care." Arizona said in an emotionless tone.

"Arizona…"

"You look beautiful, Calliope." Arizona replied as she looked at Callie whose jaw dropped and eyes started to water at the sound of her full name. "Have a good time." Callie stood still as Arizona walked out the door with their daughter slowly falling asleep in her arms, not a minute passed before a knock was coming from the door.

Walking over to the door Callie put on a fake smile when she saw Tahlia on the other side, she liked the woman but after what Arizona had said she found that the woman in front of her was just a distraction.

"Wow! You look beautiful, Callie!" Tahlia replied when her eyes landed on the ortho surgeon.

"Thank you." Callie replied as she stepped into the hallway to go on her date, as they walked Callie glanced at the other apartment door. Instead of thinking about Mark like she usually did she thought about Arizona who was probably in bed reading a book with Sofia lying beside her, smiling at Tahlia she continued on and decided to listen to what her date was saying.

Arizona lay awake, Sofia slept soundly next to her that is why she wasn't crying. She didn't want to wake up her daughter, or for her daughter to hear her crying. Reaching over Arizona grabbed her cellphone and pressed dial on a name in her contacts, as the phone rang she put on her prosthetic.

"Hello, Dr. Alexander."

"Dr. Alexander it's Arizona Robbins."

"Arizona, I am going to assume something is wrong since you are calling me."

"Yes, I…Calliope she is out on a date and her date is gorgeous! Blonde hair, thin but yet curvy not to tall but not too short I couldn't see her eyes but I bet they are blue!" Arizona started panicking.

"Okay first off breathe Arizona, relax. It sounds like Calliope isn't over you."

"No, it's her type blonde hair and blue eyes. I just…I couldn't stay in the apartment and watch the woman smile and flirt with her in the dress... in the dress she originally bought for me to look at."

"How do you know what the other woman looked like?"

"I looked out the peephole on the door I heard her knock and I just, I was curious. She was gorgeous and she had both of her legs I could see them!" Arizona started to yell but stopped when Sofia stirred, tears dripped down Arizona's eyes.

"Arizona, you are just as good as that woman whether you have one leg or not." Dr. Alexander replied in calm and completely honest tone.

"But I'm not, I have been so cruel to her and then I practically lead her on kissed another woman and slept with her this whole time. I…I am not as good, I am worse because of that and because of my one leg. Who would want me?"

"Well Arizona, it sounds to me like Calliope wanted you but you pushed her away." The doctor decided to go with brutal honesty, Arizona sat stunned the man had never said anything like that to her in the four now five conversations they had had.

"I…"

"Arizona, Calliope stood by you she put up with your harsh words she tried from what you told me every day to make you feel beautiful but you rejected her. Now I feel you did that because you think as your wife she had to say and do those things, and that is why when someone who wasn't your wife finally showed an interest you jumped at it. Arizona you have been feeling sorry for yourself that you haven't given yourself a chance to heal." Dr. Alexander replied silence filled the phone but he knew Arizona was still there, she was thinking about his words.

"This is all my fault." Arizona replied, Dr. Alexander sighed into the phone.

"I am about to break many rules here Arizona but yes it is your fault, Lauren hurting you was not your fault you didn't know about that. But pushing Calliope away that was your fault, if you had come to me sooner or opened up to Calliope sooner and gotten help I do believe much of this could have been resolved. You and Calliope have been through tough times from what you have told me but you always worked it out, how was this time any different. I can't tell you she will take you back because I don't have a crystal ball and I can't make that happen what I can make happen is help you to learn, grow and accept what has happened and get you back on track in life." When Dr. Alexander finished he heard Arizona sniffling which meant she was trying not to cry.

"Arizona, you can cry."

"No, Sofia is here…I can't."

"Arizona, you need to. This pain you have I think goes further back than the plane crash, further than Africa it goes back before you even met Calliope. We have a lot of work to do Arizona but I am here for you, I will help you get through this." Dr. Alexander knew he was breaking rules but he felt a friendship with Arizona and he wanted, no needed to make sure she was going to live and be happy.

"I…I…I miss her, I miss my friends, and I miss my brother. I want to wake up next to her again!" Arizona started to sob but stopped when she heard a knock. "Sorry, someone is at my door."

"Arizona, it is ten o'clock at night who would be at your door?" Dr. Alexander started to get worried.

"I told Callie after her date to get Sofia; it is probably her just one second." Arizona got up and set the cell phone down on the kitchen counter and opened the door, as Arizona smiled thinking it was Callie her smile broke.

Dr. Alexander held the phone to his ear pacing, his wife lay in bed watching him but soon he stopped pacing when he heard the sound of something break and Arizona's strangled scream.

"Call 911!" He shouted at his wife who instantly grabbed their home phone and dialed.
