Arizona turns slowly, hoping the the woman will disappear if she takes her time, no such luck.
"Hello Lauren." Lauren smiles at her in a way that makes Arizona shiver and not in a good way.
"What are you doing here?" Arizona hisses as panic increases.
"Well. the reason I am giving everyone is to consult on another case. I only left to tie up some things at the my last hospital and now I am back to stay." Lauren takes a step towards Arizona causing Arizona to immediately step back. She gives her a wicked smile. "The real reason I am back though is for you." Lauren reaches out to touch Arizona's shoulder and the pediatric surgeon nearly trips attempting to get away.
"Trying to play hard to get I see. No worries we both know what happened last time." Lauren saunters away exuding sexual appeal Arizona wants nothing to do with. She is nearly in tears when Erica finds her a couple minutes later. The pediatric surgeon has yet to move from her spot. Erica looks at her with concern.
"Hey you okay?" Arizona startles and looks at Erica panic stricken. Erica does not know the other woman well enough for this and her immediate reaction is to get Callie.
"Did you lose a patient? Do you want me to call Callie?" Erica reaches into her pocket for her phone.
"NO!" the outburst causes a couple of nurses to look their way warily.
"I am sorry please don't call Callie. I am fine." Erica is hardly convinced and is about to text Callie when she hears someone walk up to them. Lauren stands in front of the two surgeons and Arizona looks as if she is about to be sick. Lauren tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and smiles at Erica.
"Hello, my name is Dr. Lauren Boswell I believe you paged me about a consult." Erica nods her head.
"Yes if you could follow me this way I can get you up to speed." Lauren smiles and looks back at Arizona with a look that starts throwing up red flags for Erica. If she didn't know better she would think this woman was flirting with Arizona. The more she watches smile back at Arizona the uneasier Erica this woman not know that the woman she is undressing with her eyes is married and to her friend. The way that the women is looking at Arizona as if she knows things about the surgeon and that is when it hits Erica. This woman isn't looking at Arizona with a look of longing or want this wench is looking at Arizona with a look of knowing. She is the woman that Arizona cheated on Callie with and it makes Erica's blood boil. She quickly glances back at Arizona and can still see the panic written all over her face. At least that explains the behavior she thinks. Erica takes a deep breathe and prepares herself to work with this woman. When she brings her attention back to Lauren she can see the woman still glancing back at Arizona so Erica moves in her line of view effectively blocking Arizona from sight. Lauren snaps her attention back to Erica as the cardio surgeon fills her in on the patient.
Arizona watches them walk away, Boswell casting devious looks back at her until Erica blocks her line of sight. Arizona is visibly shaken and leans against the nurses station again.
"Hey what's up with you? You look like you have seen a ghost?" Alex asks with a bit of a smirk on his face. He is wrestling with his lab coat so he does not immediately get a good look at the blonde but when he does the smirk slides off his face almost instantly.
"Arizona? What's wrong? Is it Sofia...Callie?" Arizona barely registers that Alex is leading her into one of the break rooms. He sits Arizona down in one of the chairs and sits across from her.
"Arizona I need you to speak."
"It's Lauren.' Arizona manages to get out still in shock.
"Lauren?" Alex questions. "Who is...". Alex trails off remembering the night of the storm. "Oh shit that Lauren."
"Yeah." Arizona croaks out.
"Are you leaving Callie?" Alex asks.
"What?! No!" Arizona very quickly recovers from her shock at the thought. "Lauren is here." Arizona says to herself trying to fully comprehend the idea. "One minutes she is gone and then all of a sudden she is back?" She runs her hands though her hair and leans back into the chair. "She is here for me. I know it"
"How?" Alex asks leaning back in his chair as well.
"She flat out told me. I am pretty sure Erica knows it which is why she got her away so quickly."
"Hahn is apart of all of this?" Arizona nods her head.
"She found me right after Lauren showed up. Apparently she is back permanently and Erica had called her for a consult." Alex whistles.
"So, you are telling me that this woman has come back to try and win you over even though you have had no contact with her since the night of the storm?" Arizona's head falls froward onto the table as she nods. "Even though she knows that you have a wife in this very hospital that could literally break every bone in her body?" Arizona nods again not lifting her head from the table. "It is like she has a death wish."Alex shakes his head and pulls out a bag of Twizzlers from his pocket. He takes one out and dangles it in front Arizona's face. She grabs the candy face still on the table. Alex grabs another for himself.
"To better days."Arizona cheers Alex with her Twizzlers and eats it not bothering to life her head.
Arizona goes about her the rest of her day as best as possible and does everything in her power to make sure that she does not run into her again. She does not see Callie for the rest of the day not even for lunch and even though she would like nothing more Arizona figures it for the best. Callie would notice a change in her and she does not want Callie to worry about her all day. Callie does manage to brighten her day when an intern shows up with the pink rainbow sprinkled doughnut that Callie had mentioned earlier. Arizona enjoys the doughnut and resolves to not let Lauren's sudden appearance deter her and Callie getting back to a better place. After all she reasons how much worse could it get?
Callie smiles when she sees Arizona. It was a long day and she hadn't seen Arizona for most of it. Plus Erica was acting weird and not really telling her why other than to talk to Arizona. As soon as the blonde turns in her direction she knows that something is wrong. Arizona actually looks scared. Callie starts to walk a little faster and as soon as she reaches her wife she brings the blonde into her arms.
"Hey baby what's wrong?" Arizona does not answer but only holds her tighter.
"Please remember that I love you. Okay?" Callie looks at Arizona worried.
"Hey someone needs to tell me what is going on. First Erica was acting weird and now you. Tell me Ariz..." Callie is cut short when she sees a smirking blonde women over the top of Arizona's head. Callie growls from pure anger and pulls the smaller woman behind her.
"Now, now there is no need to be so defensive Dr. Torres. I was simply coming to say goodnight to Arizona." It takes every ounce of strength in Callie's body not to haul off and break multiple bones in this woman's body.
"That won't be necessary." Callie replies with venom in her voice.
"Oh is that so?" The blonde smiles taking a casual step forward. "How about we let Arizona decide? After all we both know what choice she made last time."
A/N: Can I just say shit is about to go down. Will Callie break every bone in Lauren's body? We shall see!
