Chapter 6

Callie made it to her room and slammed the door.

She was tired, tired of everything being out of her control and tired of having everything thrown in her face. At least that is how it felt to her. Her life had changed drastically in the last two weeks. She went from having a loving husband and the in her eyes perfect life to having nothing… She lost the one thing that made her whole, her husband.

Callie was also mad. Mad at God for taking Greg. Mad at Greg for dying. Mad at her parents for leaving her alone in a time like this, even though she asked to be alone. Mad at Arizona for coming and demanding to stay. Mad at Arizona for making her go to the doctor. And most of all mad at Arizona for not trusting her enough to tell her she was a lesbian…

Arizona being a lesbian was at least something Callie could control how she felt about. She had always wondered in high school but didn't want to ask for fear she was wrong. Callie had no problem with Arizona being a lesbian, she was happy that her friend had finally figured out who she was. What Callie was mad about was how she found out. Why didn't Arizona trust her enough to tell her this information herself? Did she think that Callie was judgmental and would kick her out?

Callie was laying on her bed all of these thoughts streaming through her head making it pound even more than it already was. Looking at the ceiling fan Callie began to feel sick. She quickly sat up and went into the bathroom sitting next to the toilet on the cold tile floor.

Arizona was pacing in the living room of her new temporary home with Callie thinking about everything that had transpired in the last two hours. Callie had found out that she was a lesbian in a less than ideal way but Arizona wasn't at all concerned with that. She was far more concerned about the other news she just learned, Callie was pregnant.

Thinking out loud to herself Arizona began her rant. "How can this be? Did Greg know? Does anyone know? Her parents? Other friends she has here? Why didn't she tell me? Was I really not that important to her? Did she not trust me enough to tell me? I mean I know that we just started talking again but I thought that we were still good enough friends to share this kind of news with… Oh my gosh, maybe she isn't telling people for a reason… maybe she is thinking about not keeping it… I mean Callie would never get an abortion but maybe adaption… I mean she is going to be a single mom after all… no… Callie would never be able to give the baby up. She has a huge heart she would love the baby too much to give it to someone else. So why didn't she tell me? Tell anyone…"

Still pacing around the living room Arizona was getting more and more enraged. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm herself down. After a few deep breaths she began to relax and calm down, heading to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of wine. As she returned to the living room she sat on the couch, leaning back into the cushions she stared up at the ceiling wondering what her beautiful best friend was doing upstairs.

Beginning to think to herself again Arizona went into best friend mode. She was mad that Callie hadn't told her before today about being pregnant but there was nothing that she could do about that now. Being mad about it seemed so silly compared to all of the things that Callie should be doing for herself and her baby that she wasn't. Arizona vowed to herself to make sure that Callie started taking care of herself.

Standing up Arizona headed up the stairs in search of Callie coming to Callie's bedroom door she knocked quietly. Not receiving an answer she decided to knock harder, when she still didn't receive an answer she began to get worried. What if Callie fell down from all the pressure she put on her knees? What if she can't get out of bed because her knees hurt too much? I really need to get in there and help Callie, Arizona thought to herself.

Knocking one more time as loud as she could she finally heard a sound from the other side of the door but wasn't able to make out what Callie had said. Arizona opened the door slowly and peaked her head into the room expecting to find Callie sprawled out on her bed relaxing but what she saw was an empty room. Looking around Arizona spoke out shyly "Callie? Cal are you in here?"

Walking farther into the room Arizona began to get more and more worried. Where was Callie? Looking in the walk in closet and checking in the seating area on the far side of the room Arizona still came up empty. Sitting in one of the chairs in the seating area Arizona stared into the fireplace in front of her until she was pulled from her worry by the sound that she had heard that brought her into Callie's room to begin with.

Quickly standing Arizona followed the sound to the ensuite bathroom door. Placing her ear against the door Arizona heard Callie emptying the contents of her stomach much like she had the night before but now Arizona knew that Callie wasn't sick… well at least not cold or flu sick. Arizona knew Callie was having morning sickness… Or afternoon sickness in this case. Arizona was torn. "Go into the bathroom and risk making Callie more mad or walk away and pretend that I was never here" Arizona whispered to herself. "Be a good man in a storm Arizona, Callie needs you right now. She might not know it but she needs you."

Cracking the door open Arizona slowly stepped into the bathroom. "Hey" came Arizona's voice just above a whisper, she didn't want to startle Callie.

"Hey" came Callie's response to worn out from emptying her stomach to be mad at the moment.

"Can I help in anyway? Get you anything?" Arizona asked.

"No I think that I'm…" Callie began before placing her head back over the toilet and beginning to throw up again.

Stepping up quickly Arizona pulled Callie's long hair out of her face and held it up for her making sure that no vomit was going to get on her hair. Holding Callie's hair one hand Arizona began to rub small circles on Callie's back with the other.

"Let it out Cal. It's OK. I've got you." came Arizona soft voice.

Hearing Arizona use such a soft and loving voice even after everything Callie kept doing made Callie break apart even more. Now Callie was not only puking but crying as well.

"Why are you… Why are you so… so nice to me?" Callie stammered between sobs.

"Because you are my best friend Cal… You are the best friend that I have ever had… I mean I had friends in college and in med school but no ever had the connection we did. It sounds petty and dumb but I miss that… feeling like I am useful… feeling needed… wanted…" Arizona ended in a whisper not even sure Callie heard her over the sobs still racking her body.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you in my life Zona but thanks… Thanks for coming back after I was such a bitch. Thanks for caring about me…"

"I will always care about you Cal. Now lets get you cleaned up and get you something to eat. You need to make sure you keep your strength up for the baby. We need to make sure that you are doing everything that you can for that baby."

Callie picked herself up off the floor with the help of Arizona. Arizona led Callie back to her bed and helped her set on the edge while going back into the bathroom to get a wet washcloth to put on Callie's forehead.

Callie laid back onto her bed while Arizona was gone and closed her eyes, awoken when she felt a cold cloth touch her forehead.

"Sorry" Arizona said "I didn't mean to startle you."

"It's OK. That actually feels really nice. Thank you Zona" Callie smiled back. Callie's smile faltered a little "I'm still upset you know. I'm just to tired to fight right now."

"I know" came Arizona's response "We can fight later… Not that I want to fight because I don't… I mean I'm upset to… but we can talk later. Right now you need to eat and rest." Taking a deep breath Arizona closed her eyes and shook her head clearing out everything that she was mad about. "What can I get you to eat?" Arizona said coming out of her thoughts.

"I really am not hungry" Callie said leaving her eyes closed as she lay on her bed.

"Well I can understand that with your stomach all upset but you need to eat for the baby Cal."

"OK fine but something light… I can't eat anything with too much flavor right now."

"Sounds like a plan I will be back in a few minutes, you rest while I'm gone."

Leaving Callie's bedroom Arizona padded down the stairs and began to make some toast and put a peach jam on the side hoping that Callie could handle the toast and maybe get a little bit of fruit along with it. Plating the food and putting it on a serving tray Arizona walked back up the stairs.

Walking down the hall Arizona stopped in the doorway to Callie's room. Leaning on the door frame Arizona peered into the room and watched as Callie slept with a peaceful look on her face. Feeling a little guilty for having to wake her to eat Arizona slowly made her way into the room.

Arizona reached the bed and placed the tray on the bedside table. Slowly climbing into bed with Callie Arizona rubbed her arm to try to wake her as gently as possible. Callie had other ideas. She felt Arizona rubbing her arm but was too tired to fully wake, instead she grabbed the hand rubbing her and pulled with all her might until Arizona was laying next to her. Rolling onto her side Callie threw her arm haphazardly over Arizona and drifted back to sleep using the blonde as warmth in her teddy bear hold.
