About a week later, Arizona had weighed all the options. Callie was still withholding sex and she had begged Derek not to do the surgery. She was beginning to think she won, but she still knew Arizona was thinking about it.

Arizona moved into Derek's office and said, "Derek, I want you to do the surgery."

"Are you sure? Callie all but threatened my life over it."

"I'm sure. She will be fine eventually."

"Okay, I'll do it, but you should tell her."

"Nope, you can tell her when I come out alive."

"When do you want to do it?"

"She's off tomorrow, we will do it then."

"Alrighty, see you tomorrow."

The next day, Arizona was in pre-op writing Callie a letter. She wanted to make sure she got to leave her with lasting words in case she didn't make it. Stupidly, she left it on the endtable as she was wheeled into surgery. After the surgery, she was back in her room and Derek had just called Callie.

Callie came barreling in to Arizona's room and threw herself at her side.

"Damnit Arizona, I am so mad at you," she said grabbing her hand. She stay there for about an hour when she noticed the note on the endtable with her name on it. She opened it carefully and read:

Calliope,

My darling, my love, my everything. I'm so sorry I did this without telling you. I'm even more sorry it has been a week since we have had sex, not cool! Anyway, if you are reading this I didn't make it through. I'm sorry to leave you, but I love you so much. You have to know that even without my memories, I love you more than life itself. That's why I did this. You can be happy that you were right and I made the wrong choice. Tell Sofia how much she means to me and make sure she remembers me. I love you even in death.

Always yours,

Arizona

Callie was in full blown tears after reading her wife's letter. She wasn't supposed to be reading this. How could Arizona be so stupid.

"Ugh, fuck you Arizona," Callie said to the open room.

"H,hey nnnow," Arizona said groggily coming back into consciousness.

"Oh my god, baby your awake."

"Yeah."

"Good. Now you are in so much trouble. You go into surgery and don't even tell me. You write me a final letter!"

"Oh shit, you weren't supposed to see that unless I didn't make it."

"Yeah well it's not cool Arizona."

"I'm sorry, and I will spend the rest of my life telling you that. I'll apologize to you everyday if that's what you need."

"What?"

"There will be people lining up for you," Arizona said smiling at Callie.

"Oh my god, you remember. Arizona it worked!"

"Yeah, I remember everything."

"This is amazing!"

"That right there. That joy on your face, it tells me I made the right choice."

"Oh shut up."

"So, am I out of the doghouse."

"Yeah, yeah fine I'm not mad anymore."

"Good!"

"But I swear, if you ever pull some shit like this again you are in so much trouble missy."

"Oh baby, are you going to punish me?"

"Shut up," Callie said kissing her wife.
