Chapter 12

After returning from the bar Callie took Arizona to her bedroom, undressed her, and got her in some pajamas and put her straight to bed. Then she got a nearly passed out Teddy, settled in the guest room. Deciding she better check on Addison also, she enters her apartment but doesn't see her at first. Walking farther into her place, she sees Addison fixing herself some food.

"Hungry Adds?" Callie asked walking up to lean on the counter next to her.

"Maybe a little." Addison laughs with a shrugged. "You know me, drinking always makes me hungry. Plus it soaks up some of the alcohol and I'm not as hungover in the mornings. It's a win win."

"Well, maybe I should have made Teddy and Arizona eat something. They are trashed." Callie said laughing.

"Seems like were the only ones that can hold our liquor." Callie laughed.

"So it seems. How is Arizona? She still sick?" She asked turning the stove off. Plating her food.

"She's only got sick that one time. I put her to bed. She'll be fine. Just too much tequila I think. I guess I better go check on them, then I'm hitting the sack myself. I'll see ya in the morning. I'll make us all breakfast before you have leave."

"Sounds good Cal. Goodnight."

"Night Addie." Callie says walking out of her apartment.

Returning back to Arizona's bedroom, she finds it empty. Hearing a noise come from the in suite bathroom, Callie finds Arizona on her knees emptying her stomach again.

"Oh honey." Callie says, rushing up to the sick blonde. "Come on babe, let it out." Callie says rubbing small circles on Arizona's back. Reaching for a clean wash cloth, she wets it with cold water. "You're okay."

"Go... Don't want you... to see me like this.." Arizona finally gets out. Sitting down on the cold tile floor, bringing her legs into her chest and leaning against the cool wall with some help from Callie.

"I'm not leaving you like this." She says bringing the damp wash cloth to Arizona's head.

"I'm never drinking again. Ooooh." Arizona whines. Clutching at her stomach. "I'm going to be sick again." Arizona says, getting to her knees with the help of her girlfriend. She emptied her stomach in the toilet again, as Callie held her hair back.

"I've never been this sick from drinking." Arizona spoke with her head laid on her arm, that was laying across the toilet seat.

"Come on honey, let's get you cleaned up and in bed." Callie said, helping her up off the floor. "Whoa, easy." She said to her girlfriend when she was bout to fell over.

"I feel so weak. I don't think I can make it to bed. Please let me just stay here." Arizona begs, as Callie takes the damp wash cloths to her face.

"I'm not going to let you sleep on this cold floor." Callie said, scooping Arizona up in her arms, and carries her to the bed. "I'll be right back." She tells Arizona after tucking her in bed.

Going into the kitchen, she retrieves three bottles of water and six aspirins.

Taking a bottle of water to Teddy's room, she sets a bottle of water and two of the aspirin on the night stand, beside her passes out friend.

Returning back to Arizona's room, seeing Arizona was asleep. Hating the thought of having to wake her up to take the aspirin. But knowing if she doesn't Arizona will feel worse in the morning.

"Hey, Arizona. Wake up honey, take these aspirin. It will help." Callie says, sitting on Arizona's side of the bed.

"I can't Callie, I don't have the strength." Arizona sleepily whined.

"Yes you can, I'll help you. Here, take these" Callie said, handing her the pills and holding

Arizona's head up enough so she can take a sip of water to wash the medicine down.

"I'm going to place the trash can beside the bed incase you get sick again, okay? Now, get some sleep sweetie." She said, tucking Arizona back in the bed. Placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Hold me?" She husks.

"Nothing I'd rather do." Callie said sliding in behind her. "Now get some sleep."

The next morning. Callie exhaustedly stretched her tired body. Reaching over to check her girlfriend, her hand met cold sheets. 'Not again' , Callie thought to herself. Arizona had been up several times throughout the night, sick. And Callie would be by her side within seconds every time.

Getting up out of bed she went to the bathroom in search for her sick girlfriend. Finding her crumpled up naked in a wet heap in the shower floor asleep.

"Arizona... Arizona?" Callie said. Opening the shower door.

Hearing her name being called out Arizona stirred. "Hmm.."

"Wha.. What are you doing?"

"I woke up sick again, and it got in my hair and I needed to wash it out... I felt disgusting Callie." Arizona said exhaustedly.

"Why.. Why didn't you wake me honey? I would have helped you." She said, turning the shower off and bending down to help her girlfriend up.

"I didn't want to wake you. You were sleeping so peacefully and I've kept you up most of the night." She said, as Callie helped her dry off. "I just didn't have the heart to wake you up again."

"You should have. That's what I'm here for. To take care of you, love." She says slipping one of her oversize shirts on her girlfriend. "Come on let's get you back in bed."

"I thought last night it was from the alcohol. But, Now I think I've caught the nasty flu bug from the kids." Arizona says, laying down in her bed. "I wanted to spend the weekend in bed, but not like this. My stomach is literally paining me, I'm weak, freezing and I feel like I'm running a fever." Arizona whines.

"Yeah, it sound like it honey. I'm going to go get you some Gatorade and bring you some Tylenol to get that fever down okay."

"Grape. Please."

"Grape it is." She giggles. "I'm going to run to the store to pick up some things to cook breakfast before Addie leaves for the airport. I'll be back soon sweetie, get some rest, okay." Callie says placing a kiss on her forehead.

Returning from the store, setting the groceries she just purchased on the counter, she notices Teddy and Addison sitting out on the balcony, drinking coffee. Putting the groceries away, and placing Arizona's Gatorade in the freezer to get cold, she poured herself a cup of coffee, and went to greet her friends on the balcony. "Hey, guys. How's everyone feeling this fine morning?"

"Ugh." Teddy groaned.

"I'm good, a light headache, but good." Addison says taking a sip of her delicious java.

"What about you? And where's your other half? She never sleeps this late." Teddy questioned.

"Ugh. I've been up a while. I ran out to the store to get some things to make us breakfast and to get Arizona some Gatorade. She's been up almost all night, sick." Callie said, sitting down taking a sip of her coffee. "At first I thought she had just drank too much but now, I think she's caught that stomach flu from the kids in her clinic. She said there was an influx of them come in."

"Oh, yeah I swear it was like the plague." Teddy said. "I bathed in hand sanitizer all week."

"Well ladies, I'm going to go across the hall and get my things ready to head home. I'll see you in a bit." Addison says, walking back into the apartment.

"Hey Addie, breakfast should be ready when you're done." Callie yelled at her, as she was walking out the front door.

"Let's go Callie, I'll help with breakfast. I'm starving" Teddy says, picking her now empty cup up. The two walked back into the kitchen and began getting the ingredients out for their breakfast.

"So Teddy, are you excited about your date with Henry tonight?" Callie questions, placing bacon in the skillet.

"Um.. Yeah, I'm getting excited and nervous." Teddy says mixing the pancake batter.

"Nervous is good. I still get nervous sometimes around Arizona. It's a good nervous though. I get butterflies every time I see her after a long day at work." Callie says, turning the bacon.

"Well Callie, why I finally got you alone and seeing Arizona isn't here to interfere. I must ask, what are your intentions with her?" She asks, cracking some eggs into a bowl for scrambled eggs.

"Um.. well, my intentions are strictly honorable. Because of her, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less and smile a lot more. And I hope I do the same for her. I love her Teddy."

"I've always had to catch her."

"What?" Callie asks, crossing her arms leaning against the counter.

"Her whole life. She's always been on a bridge, ever since we were little. And she didn't just walk on it either. She climbs on the railing and she's ready to leap, and when she does, when that happens you have to be there. It's now up to you. You will have to catch her Callie."

"I will. I won't let her fall Teddy. I've never loved anything or anyone so fiercely in my life and I plan to spend the rest of my life loving her if she lets me."

"Good. I really like you Callie. You've gave me my friend back. Since Tim's death, she's not been herself. And now that you've came into her life. I see little pieces of her coming back. You did that Callie, so thank you." Teddy says, as they finish cooking breakfast.

"You're welcome." Callie said, not really knowing what to say to that. Taking the Gatorade out of the freezer, "I'm going to go check on Arizona, and see if she can put something in her stomach. I'll be right back." She said, walking into the bedroom.

"Hey, honey." Callie said walking into the room. Seeing Arizona trembling slightly, clutching her stomach, and sweating profusely. "Arizona?" Callie said running to the bed.

"Baby, look at me."

"I.. I nee.. Hospital..hel.. Help please." Arizona mumbled out.

"I'm here, baby, I'm here, I'm going to get Teddy, and were going to get you to the hospital okay... TEDDY" Callie yelled.

"TEDDY."

"What.. what what's the matter?" Teddy said bursting through the door. Taking in the site of her fragile best friend. "Oh god, Ari."

"Teddy help me get her dressed. We got to get her to the hospital." Callie says, pulling out some sweats for Arizona to wear.

"Hey, what's all the yelling about?" Addison says walking into the room. Seeing Teddy and Callie dressing a disheveled Arizona. "Oh god, what's wrong?"

"We're not sure. Can you page Bailey, tell her to meet us in the pit." Callie asks her friend.

"Im on it. I'm going to run downstairs and get your car, I'll be waiting at the front entrance." Addison says running out of the room and grabbing Callie's jeep keys.

Teddy and Callie stood on each side of Arizona, basically carrying her out to the waiting vehicle.

"it hurts so bad." Arizona cried. "I.. I can't..."

"It's okay honey, were almost there." Callie soothed, holding her girlfriend as Addison drove them over to Seattle Grace's ambulance bay entrance.

Seeing Bailey and Meredith waiting for them with a gurney. Addison brought the jeep to a stop. Jumping out of the vehicle, Callie hears Bailey. "What do we got?"

"It's Arizona, we had drinks last night and she started complaining with her stomach and then vomiting shortly after. At first we thought it was just the alcohol.. but..." Callie says, as she picks up her weak girlfriend and places her on the waiting gurney.

"Oooo.." Arizona groaned in pain when Callie placed her on the bed. "Don't leave me."

"I'm right here honey." Callie told Arizona, taking her hand and giving it a squeeze.

"..She's been up most of the night, vomiting, so we thought she had caught the stomach flu from one of her patients. I went to wake her up a few minutes ago and I found her in bed like this. Weak, complaining with severe stomach pain, trembling and sweating profusely." Callie said nervously, as they rolled Arizona into trauma room one.

Seeing Arizona's tight hold on her friends hand, she knew Callie would fight her but she had to try. "Callie you need to stay out here, you are not a doctor right now, you're her partner." Bailey ordered.

"No. No Bailey, I'm staying." Callie demanded, not letting go of Arizona's hand.

"Alright, but you stay out of the way or you will leave. You hear me Torres." Seeing Callie nod, Bailey turned her attention to her patient. "Okay Arizona, can you tell me, what hurts." Bailey asked the frail looking blonde.

Pulling the oxygen mask that Meredith Grey placed on her, down, she spoke softly. "My right.. side.. stomach... Ca.. Callieee?" she cried out, grasping in pain.

"I'm here Arizona, I'm not going anywhere. Just relax, let Dr. Bailey and Dr. Grey examine you honey." Callie said, stepping up to the head of the bed so Arizona could see her. "I'm here, baby." Callie soothed, rubbing Arizona's head.

Callie watched as Bailey and Grey did their exams, "The Abdominal exam showed tenderness on her right side and I detected some inflammation. I'm going to need to a urinalysis to rule out a UTI and an ultrasound to confirm, but this looks like it's her

appendix Callie. How long has she been complaining with the pain?"

"Last night.. we… we were about to leave Joes, she was complaining then. Come to think of it, she was looking kind of pale when I first saw her last night, I thought it was just because she had a rough day, but she didn't say anything." Callie said, as she stroked Arizona's head, whispering loving words to her.

"Someone get me the portable Ultrasound. Stat." Bailey commanded.

"Okay, we gave her something for the pain for now, she'll probably sleep for a while, were going to do these tests, and if they confirm, I'm going to take her right into surgery. Grey, have them prep an OR for an Emergency appendectomy."

Looking down at her sick sleeping girlfriend. It broke Callie's heart seeing Arizona so frail and lifeless, but she had to stay strong for her. "I'm going to let Teddy know what's going on and call her parents. I'll be right back." She said, placing a kiss on Arizona.

Walking out of the room, she goes in search for Teddy. Finding her in the ER waiting room. Letting out a breathe she didn't know she was holding.

Teddy and Addison jump to their feet meeting Callie half way, "What's going on Callie? Addison's quickly asks, coming up to Callie and wrapping her arms around her frazzled friend, as Callie's tears became more visible as she began to cry.

"Oh god, it's bad isn't it? Did they find out what's wrong? Teddy worriedly asked.

"No.. no. she's okay.. she's okay, she's sleeping.. Bailey thinks... it's her appendix. She's doing some tests to confirm. She's going to need surgery...I.. I should have know what this was. I'm a pediatric surgeon for god sacks. I see this almost every day. I know the signs and symptoms... I could hav.."

"No, Callie. She's a pediatrician. She knows the signs and symptoms too. You said it yourself, this presented itself at the stomach flu, she have dealt with it all week at the clinic. She even said it herself, right?" Addison countered.

"Addison's right Callie. You did all you could do. She's here now, that's all that matters." Teddy says, laying a comforting hand on Callie's shoulder.

"I'm going to call her parents, they should know. I'll be back in a minute." Teddy said, pulling her cell phone out.

"Oh god, Addie. You have to be at the airport in an hour.. I'll find someone to take you, I can't leave Arizona." Callie said, looking around. "I'll get.."

"..No.. no Cal. I've already pushed my flight back a few hours. I can't leave you both like this. I'm staying." Addison said, rubbing Callie's back.

"I uh.. I'm going to get back to her. Thanks Addie." Callie says returning her friends embrace.

Returning to the trauma room, Callie finds it empty. She searches around, seeing an intern pass by. "Hey, you! Where did Dr. Bailey take her patient?" Callie asked the intimidated intern.

"The OR."

Running up two flights of stairs not having the patients to wait on the elevator, Callie flew through the surgical wing. Seeing Bailey and Meredith walking behind a rolling bed about to enter the OR. "Bailey!" Callie's yelled, running up to her. Causing the short Doctor to turn around.

"Tests confirmed a rupture appendix.. her stomach is full of infection, Grey and I are..."

"..Ca.. Callie?" Arizona whispered in a hush tone.

"I'm right here baby." Callie said, leaning down to whisper to her girlfriend. "Bailey is going to take good care of you, okay honey?" She said, sweeping her hair out of her face and kissing her goodbye. "Just go to sleep sweetie, I'll be here when you wake up."

"Prom.. promise?" Arizona breathed.

"Promise baby. I love you."

"I.. Love.." Swallowing hard. ".. too." Arizona said. As they wheeled her into the OR.

Walking into the scrub room, Callie puts on a mask, and begins to scrub in.

Walking into the OR room, Bailey sees Callie scrubbing her hands through the glass window out the corner of her eye. Walking into the room where Callie stood Bailey huffed. "Ohh no no no.. what do you think your doing Torres?"

"I'm scrubbing in, what does it look like im doing. I'm going in there.." Callie spits. "I won't get in the way, I'll just sit at her head. I'm not leaving her."

"No, Callie. I can't have you in there." Bailey says, walking up to Callie and grabbing her hands.

"Damnit Bailey, now I'm going to have to rescrub."

"I said NO Callie, I can't have you in that OR, and I won't have you hovering in my gallery either. Go sit in the waiting room, with Teddy and her parents, like all the other families. You are not a doctor right now, you are her partner. Arizona doesn't need you seeing her like this. Now go."

"Please, Bailey." She says in tears. "She's my whole life."

"She's in great hands Callie, I'll come and find you when we're done." Meredith says, walking in to scrub.

"I got this Torres." Bailey says, as she puts in her surgical mask.

Feeling too exhausted to fight, Callie agrees. Pulling out her phone, she texts Teddy to let her know what was going on with Arizona and that she was in surgery, and she would meet them in the surgical waiting room.

Callie knew Arizona would be fine, but the girlfriend in her was worried sick. Seeing her partner in so much pain hurt, because she felt so helpless. She was also a doctor, and knew all surgeries had risks. She couldn't count on her hand the number of times a routine surgery has gone wrong. That's why she found herself sitting in the waiting room on a small couch with her elbows resting on her knees, with her face in her hands. Exhaustion and worry taking over her body.

Feeling a hand on her back brought her out of her thoughts. "She'll be okay Callie. She'll be good as new in no time." Teddy said, trying to comfort Callie.

Nodding her head, with fatigue and worry setting in, Callie fell into Teddy's arms and began to cry. "You, you didn't see her Teddy, she... was lying there.. so lifeless and I felt helpless." She cried on Teddy's shoulder.

"Shh.. It's okay, Callie.. She'll be okay. Arizona's tougher than she looks." Teddy said. Rocking her best friends girlfriend. "Everything's going to be fine." Teddy soothed, looking over at Addison, helpless. Teddy rocked them until she noticed Callie's body relax in her arms, signaling she was drifting off to sleep.

Arizona had been in surgery for over an hour when Teddy saw Barbara and Daniel entering the waiting room. Slipping out from under a sleeping Callie, she laid her down on the couch covering her up with the blanket Owen brought over for her, after he heard what was going on.

Walking up to Barbara and Daniel, she received hugs. "Teddy, honey. Where is my baby girl?" Barbara asked worriedly.

"Is she in surgery now?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah, she is. She's been in their for over an hour now, Callie said that her appendix ruptured, and she had infection in her abdomen. Dr. Bailey and Dr. Grey are two of the best. She'll be fine."

"Callie.. whe.. where is she?" Barbara said, looking around.

"She's over there on the couch sleeping next to Addison. She has cried herself to sleep, the poor thing, she's been up with Arizona all night, she worried herself to death. I heard she demanded to stay with Arizona during surgery, but Bailey kick her out of the OR and also forbad her to go to the gallery to watch".

"Awe poor thing. Come on Daniel." Barbara says taking hold of her husbands hand. "Lets go sit with the girls."

Greeting Addison, Barbara and Daniel sit in seats across from the group of women, while Teddy filled them in on what all was going on with Arizona.

"So, it started last night as stomach pains?" Barbara asked Teddy, after filling her in on what all had been going on.

"Yeah, her stomach started feeling upset when we left Joes last night, and she emptied her stomach before we made it into the apartment building. She was still sick this morning, and her and Callie assumed she just caught that stomach bug that a bunch of the kids had at the clinic this week." Teddy finishes, as she sees Callie begin to stir.

Waking up in a daze, Callie looks around her surroundings, remembering she was in the hospital. Sitting up on the couch.. "Arizona?" she questioned Addison.

"We haven't heard anything yet Cal. Just lay back down and get some more rest." Addison says, rubbing her shoulder. "I'll going to go check."

"Callie?" Barbara questioned, standing from her seat, seeing distressed demeanor.

"Mr. and Mrs. Robbins?" Callie asks, standing up from the couch.

"Callie, oh dear, its so good to see you again." Barbara says, pulling Callie in for an embrace. "Look at you, you are so beautiful." she says, pulling Callie away at arms length, looking her up and down.

"Thank you, its so good to see you both again too, I just wish it was under different circumstances." Callie said, now hugging Daniel. "I've really missed you guys."

"We've missed you too, how's your sister?" Daniel asked, kissing Callie on top of the head.

"She's good, she's graduated from Fidum, last year, she's hoping to start designing her own label before long." Callie says, taking her seat again. Seeing Miranda Bailey walk through the hall towards them, Callie shot back up from her seat.

"Bailey, how is she?" Callie asked.

"She's fine, it went great. There was a lot of infection in her stomach, but Dr. Grey and I was able to remove it all, we gave her an extra dose of antibiotics, so she should be sleeping for a while. Dr. Grey is taking her to recovery now, she'll be groggy and in pain for a while, but she should be able to go home in about two days, if all looks good. When Dr. Grey's finished, she will come get you all." Bailey assures. "She's fine Callie." she says rubbing Callie's arm.

"Thank you Bailey." Callie says, as she see's Meredith walk down the hall.

"You all can come see her now." Meredith says, leading the group of people to Arizona's room. "She needs her rest, she had a lot of infection inside her, so we ask that you limit your visit with her at this time." She says, stopping in front of the room. "She's still asleep, so try to keep it down." Meredith asks, squeezing Callie by the arm, showing her some support. "You need anything Callie? Have you ate?" Meredith whispers to her friend.

"No, I'm fine Mer, I'll get something later. Thank you."

Everyone waited for Callie to enter the room first, but she just stood at the back of the group. "go ahead first, please." She spoke to Arizona's parents. "I'll just wait out here."

"Are you sure Callie, I'm sure you are the first person she would want to see." Daniel asked, placing his hand on her back.

"Yeah, I'm sure, she'll probably be asleep for a while anyway, go ahead, I'll just wait here until everyone else has a turn." She says, nodding her head toward Barbara. "Once I go in, someone will have to drag me out to get me to leave her, so, you all go ahead."

"Go ahead honey, you take the other girls on in. Callie and I will wait out here." Daniel said to his wife. Nodding, she leading the others into Arizona's recovery room.

"No, you don't have to stay with me. I'll be fine, really. Go see Arizona." Her voice broke.

Daniel could see Callie was becoming more upset. Pulling her into an embrace, she began to cry. "She's alright Callie.. She's going to be fine. Arizona is strong." he says, soothing her.

"I know… I know that.." Callie says, crying into his arms. "I was so scared when I saw her like that. She was so helpless." she cried.

"She's not going anywhere Callie."

"I know.. It's just… Every time something good happens in my life, something bad comes along to destroy it. Arizona is the best thing that's ever happened to me, I can't lose her." Callie cried, the days happenings, finally catching up with her mind. She tried her best to stay strong in front of everyone, but finally knowing for sure that Arizona was actually okay, Callie's emotions weren't.

"Callie?" Barbara's voice startled her. "I think she's coming too. I'm sure she would want you to be in there. Go ahead honey, we'll be in the waiting room." Barbara says, as Addison and Teddy joins her side.

Looking up to Daniel, not wanting him to leave without seeing his daughter first. "No, Daniel hasn't got to see her yet.."

"She doesn't need me right now Callie, she needs you. We'll come back in a little bit." He says, patting her on the back.

Watching Daniel, Barbara, Teddy and Addison disappear down the hall towards the waiting room, Callie composing herself before going into the room.

Wiping her tear soaked face, she walked into Arizona's room. Seeing Arizona start to move around in her bed, Callie sat next to her bed in a chair. Taking her hand in hers and stroking it gently, waiting for Arizona to fully wake.

Feeling Arizona squeeze her hand, Callie stood up and sat in the bed, facing Arizona. "Ca..." Swallowing hard. "Cal." Arizona whispered in a husky voice. As Callie brought a cup of water to her mouth. Taking a sip to wet her dry throat, she tried again. "Callie."

"Hey... I'm here. I'm right here honey." Callie said stroking Arizona's face.

"What happened?"

"Your appendix ruptured. Bailey and Meredith performed an emergency appendectomy." She cooed. "How are you feeling baby? Any pain?" Callie asked rubbing her hip.

"No, just sore. My throats a little dry."

"Here, drink this." Callie said bringing the cup up to Arizona's mouth.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. You scared me there for a while." Callie said softly.

"I'm sorry." Arizona said sleepily, Rubbing Callie's cheek "Callie you look exhausted. Have you got any rest."

"Yea, I got a little rest while you were in surgery. Teddy's a pretty good body pillow ya know." Callie joked.

"Teddy's here? Where is she?"

"Yeah, her, Addison and your parents are In the waiting room. They came to see you, while you were sleeping, they'll be back before too long."

"Addie's still here? I thought she had to leave." Arizona said, scooting over as much as she could in bed.

"She did, she does, she pushed her flight back until later today, she said she wasn't leaving until she knew you were okay." Callie says, as Arizona nods her head.

"My parents.. They okay?"

"Yeah." Callie laughed. "Cool, calm and collected. I've missed them. I forgot how calming they were.

"Lay with me?" Arizona asks. Feeling the need to comfort Callie. And some cuddling would be nice too. She could see the worry and fatigue in her girlfriends eyes.

Lying down on the bed, she laid her head on Arizona's shoulder. Carefully wrapping her arm around her girlfriend. A few silent tears of relief fell down. "I was so scared. I didn't know what was wrong with you. I felt so helpless.

"I sorry, but I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere." she says kissing Callie on the forehead.

After ten minutes of silence, Arizona could tell with Callie's even breathing that she had fell asleep. Hearing a knock at the door, she looked up to see Addison and Teddy.

"Hey." Addison and Teddy greeted quietly.

"Shh.." Arizona said, bringing her finger up to her mouth. "She just fall asleep, she looks so exhausted".

"Im sure she is, she worried herself to death. She finally calmed down a little, after Bailey kicked her out of the OR and forbade her to watch in the gallery, she had no other choice but to wait with us in the waiting room after that." Teddy said, as she took a seat next to the bed.

"Seriously? They kicked her out?"

"Yeah. She tried her best. She even said she would just sit at your head, but Bailey refused. She tried to blame herself. She said she knew the signs of an appendicitis, poor thing finally cried herself to sleep while you were in surgery." Addison said, rubbing Callie's arm that was laying across her friend.

"Listen, I came to check on you one last time before I leave, my flight takes off in an hour... Do you think Callie would mind if Teddy took me to the airport in her jeep?"

"No, go right ahead. She won't mind. Teddy what time is your date?" Arizona asks looking at her friend.

"I'm not going. In going to call Henry and ask for a rain che.."

"No, you're not canceling this date on my account. You. Are. Going. You hear me."

"But.."

"No buts Theodora!" Arizona demanded in a whisper, trying not to wake Callie up. "You take Addie to the airport then take Callie's jeep home with you. Get some rest. And go on your date. We'll make arrangements to get the jeep back later. Now go and please... Have fun Teds. And I want a full report in the morning."

"I'll see you soon Arizona, I'll call and check in on you later after I land. Okay." Addison says. "I love you."

"Thanks Addie, I love you too, be careful."

"I'll see ya in the morning." Teddy says walking to the door.

"Thank you Teds, for everything. Can you tell mama and daddy they can come back? I'd like to see them before I fall back to sleep."

"Sure thing." Teddy said, closing the door.

A few short minutes later, Daniel pokes he's head in the room, seeing Callie asleep in his daughters arms. "Hey bug. How you feeling?" He asks walking in to the room with his wife.

"Hey daddy, I'm sore, but feeling a lot better."

"Good to hear bug." Daniel says kissing his daughter on the forehead.

"Hey mama."

"Hey honey, she's wore out huh?" Barbara says, brushing the hair out of Callie's face.

"Yeah" Arizona says feeling Callie's grip tighten around her.

Hearing whispers around her, Callie weakens. Realizing she dozed off on Arizona. "Oh god, I didn't hurt you did I? I didn't mean to fall asleep..."

"We just wanted to see you for a second honey, were going to get going. You girls need your rest. Your father and I will be back tomorrow. Okay, bye Callie". Barbara said, patting her daughters leg. "We love you honey."

"I love you too." Arizona says as her parents slip out of the door.

"I love you too, you know." Callie said, snuggling into Arizona.

"I know." She replies. Kissing Callie on the lips. "I love you, and thank you for taking care of me."
