The next day is a typical day of insanity at Grey-Sloan Memorial.

Despite a busy schedule, Arizona manages to find Amelia in the neuro wing around mid-day.

"Oh my god, did you hear what happened to Bailey?" Arizona says, sidling up to her wife who is standing outside a patient's room updating a chart.

"No, what?" Amelia looks over, startled by her wife's sudden presence.

"Well the Foundation was going to cut off funding for the hospital. Bailey was fired by Harper Avery himself." Arizona exclaims, blue eyes wide as she gossips.

"What?" Amelia had heard nothing of the days' events.

"But," Arizona continues. "Harper Avery died. Right in the conference room after he tried to fire Bailey!"

"No!" Amelia can't believe the ridiculous things that go on in the hospital. She shakes her head. "You can't be serious."

Arizona just nods. "Completely serious." She can't help but laugh. "I know it's not funny, his death, but just the circumstances of the whole thing."

Amelia chuckles and smiles at her wife- enjoying hospital gossip like a teenager, the sparkle in her blue eyes. Seeing Arizona so peppy and happy, it's one of Amelia's favorite things.

"Alright you, I've got to head back to work. I'll see you later?" Amelia asks, leaning forward to give Arizona a quick kiss.

"I'll come find you." Arizona returns Amelia's brilliant smile before getting back to work.

Later in the day Arizona finds Amelia under slightly uncomfortable circumstances.

"Ah, Arizona nice to see you again." Carina greets as Arizona enters the MRI viewing room. Carina is either flirting or just naturally this charming. Arizona shakes her head, forcing the thought from her mind.

"Working on your study?" She asks, glancing at the scans up on the monitor.

"Yes, these are from earlier, but I currently have a participant being scanned. Did you not know?" Carina asks, looking over to Arizona.

"Know what?" Arizona is entirely confused.

"That your wife decided to participate in my study?"

Arizona gapes. "I'm sorry, what? Currently?" She glances towards the MRI machine, where Amelia is masturbating, for another woman. Her instant reaction is shock, then jealousy, then embarrassment. Arizona feels like Carina is getting a glimpse at the intimacy she and Amelia share in the bedroom. No, it's just a medical study; she tries to convince herself and wishes she wasn't blushing.

Carina just laughs. "You Americans are such prudes. This is purely for scientific research." She must've seen the myriad of emotions flicker across Arizona's face.

The blonde clears her throat. "Of course, I know that." It's just… odd? Uncomfortable? Something private?

"So," Arizona begins, trying to start a conversation to distract herself from the fact that her wife is masturbating in there.

"Oh, look. Her scans are done." Carina smiles and flashes Arizona a wink as the images begin to load.

Amelia exits the MRI, a little flush and out of breath. She'd composed herself the best she could before ahem ending the study. But those toys were no joke. Hopefully her neural reaction works well for Carina's study.

She changes back into her clothes discreetly before opening the door to the viewing room, completely surprised to see Arizona there.

"Hey, uhh, what're you doing here?" Amelia asks, wide-eyed. She meant to tell Arizona about participating in the study later that night; she didn't expect her wife to mind, but this is an awkward situation to walk into- Arizona and Carina looking at her brain's reactions to sexual pleasure and achieving climax.

When she receives no reply from Arizona, she assumes her wife is upset, but then the blonde turns to her, eyes watery with unshed tears.

"What?" Amelia asks. "What's going on?"

But neither woman replies, so Amelia shoves past her wife to look over Carina's shoulder.

"Wow, that's a beautiful tumor, who's brain is…" But Amelia pauses, realization hitting her like a truck. It knocks the wind out of her, causes everything around to her still, as if frozen in time while she tries to process what she's seeing.

"That's my brain." Amelia states, more for herself then the other two people in the room. "That's my tumor."

Carina looks up; Amelia can see the worry and concern in her eyes, but all she cares about is what she sees in her wife's eyes- tears, fear, disbelief. She rushes forward to pull Arizona into her arms- to comfort the blonde; Amelia pushes everything else aside to reassure Arizona everything will be fine and to find her own comfort in the blonde's arms. It doesn't take any words- they are there for one another. No matter what.

Notes: Sorry this is so short. It's just part one. Thanks for waiting and hanging in there with me. Reviews feed my soul and make me smile!
