Chapter 7
Arizona
Finally, back at work after that shitty week off, I shouldn't say shitty, I did get married, even though it was just for show, and I'm super happy Cristina is here. I know Meredith has missed her and the fact that she might be staying, adds even more happiness to our lives. Meredith and I are stronger than ever, we managed to slip away for a night alone, to finally celebrate our wedding. I smile thinking about it, as I hit the button for the elevator. I was lost in my thoughts when the elevator doors open, hiding my laugh when I see Callie and Maggie jumping apart, both with embarrassment written all over their faces. I can even see a blush form on Callie's face. "hi" I smile, as I hit the button for the floor I needed.
"hi" they both say in unison, looking at them I can see the blush on Callie's face is brighter, shaking my head and not making eye contact with either one of them "just come out with it"
"out with what?" Callie looks at me confused
"that you two are together"
"we aren't together" Maggie says moving closer to the wall, away from Callie
"ok then you're fucking, I don't care what you call it, just come out with it" I have to bite my tongue to not laugh
"does" Maggie asks not making eye contact with me "does Mer know?" I smile and look her in the eyes "she's the one who told me" the elevator stops and the doors open, I look at the not yet out couple and wink, as I walk out. Laughing as I walk around the corner, and literally run into my wife. It was a good thing it was me, as her hand ended up cupping my boob. "oh hello Dr. Robbins" she laughs
"hello Dr. Grey" I say seductively as she squeezes my boob, and without a second thought I grab her hand and pull her towards my office, thankfully we weren't far away when I push her through the door and slam it shut. She then pushes me up against it kissing me, she was working on untying my scrub bottoms when a loud shrill pierced the air. "dammit"
"all good things come to those who wait Dr. Grey"
"I've been waiting all damn day" she groans in annoyance
"baby, it's only 9 am" she rolls her eyes and pulls out her pager "911 to the pit" rolling her eyes again she kisses me, as another shrill pierces the air, I laugh and reach for mine I laugh and hold it up to show her. "Might as well go together" she kisses me again and opens the door. Reaching for my hand as we walk in contented silence. Walking into the ER, we are told to both go into trauma room one, I give her a confused look as I follow her. Walking into the room I hear her say "what do we got?" when we hear a little voice "mom's"
"Bailey" Meredith says "what, what happened" the little boy, my little boy is laying on the bed covered in blood, and his right arm in a sling.
"we aren't exactly sure Dr. Grey, but from what we can tell right now his arm is broken, and he may have a concussion" an intern, I'm not sure of his name, we have so many floating around this place lately. I can't keep them all straight.
"well page ortho and for god sakes get a fucking CT scan" Meredith demands "and where's Alex"
"I got him" I say walking up next to him
"momma" he looks up at me with scared sad eyes "Bailey honey what happened" I ask softly. One of us needed a clear head, and I'm used to dealing with kids, Meredith on the other hand, I could tell was on the verge of a freak out. "I, I don't remember" he cries "I was playing ball and"
"what hurts baby" Meredith asks looking him over, he says something that we couldn't make out with the cries. The trauma room door opens and in steps Dr. Bailey "Robbins, Grey, step away. I got this"
"Miranda" I look at her
"you can stay in the room but over there" she points to the corner, I roll my eyes and am about to say something when Callie and Alex walk in, quickly followed by Amelia. "oh Bailey, I heard it was you, how you doing sweetie?"
"my head hurts" he cries "and my arm"
"Edwards is on her way, but" she looks up at Meredith "get a CT scan"
"and we'll get some x-rays of the arm" Callie says "but I can already see it's broken, I just need to know how bad"
"mommies" Bailey cries
"we're right here honey" I reach for the hand that isn't hurt. He sniffles "can we get him some pain meds?" I look up to Callie who nods, as the intern goes about setting up the I.V.

Meredith
We had found out that Bailey was playing catch with some kids, and when he missed the ball, he went running after it, tripping over a tree root, causing him to fall, landing on his right arm and smacking his head on the tree. Luckily, he had only a slight concussion, and only a few stitches to close up the cut on his forehead. However, Callie does have to take him into the OR to set the bone in his arm. Arizona and I of course went to the gallery to watch, he was our baby after all, even though we both knew he was in good hands. He's now supporting a nice blue cast that he will have to wear for the next 8 weeks, but Callie assured us that he would heal without any problems. He was kept in the hospital for two nights, just to make sure everything was good. Although I didn't understand why, when he's got 4 of the best doctors at home, Callie insisted. So, she went to the house last night and stayed with the rest of the kids. "you know she just stayed with the kids so she can be with Maggie without anyone saying anything right?" Arizona laughed, it was the next morning, we had both slept in the room with our little man, who hadn't woken up yet.
"well either way, we know the girls are safe"
"you know" she says "just before I ran into you yesterday, I was on the elevator with them"
"oh?" I look at her and she laughs "yeah, when the doors opened to let me on, I could tell they jumped apart from each other"
"nice"
"anyway so I told them just to come out"
"you didn't"
"I did" she smiles "everyone already knows anyway, so why hide it"
"you got a point" I smile, standing from the chair to check on my son, the smile quickly gone when I look at his poor bruised face "do you think I should have Amelia call" I couldn't say his name
"I'm sure she already has" Arizona says I didn't know when she stood but I feel her take me in her arms "he's ok, just a broken arm, and a cut on his forehead." she whispers in my ear.
"I know but he's my baby boy" I let out a sniffle
"I know" she says kissing me "but in a few days we'll be back home with him, and I'm sure he'll be back to raising hell with the girls"
"yeah" I lean back into her as she tightens her hold on me. I really don't know what I would do without this woman, she's my rock, literally holding me up right now. A pager goes off, I know it's hers because Bailey gave strict orders to not page me for anything. She kisses me and let's go "I have to go, are you going to be ok?"
"yeah, I'll just try and sleep some more"
"ok" she says quietly, placing a kiss on my lips, picks up her white coat and leaves the room, leaving me with my son. "oh Bailey boy, I'm so sorry"
"mommy" his little voice was groggy
"I'm here" I say softly reaching for the hand that isn't casted.
"where's momma"
"she had to go, but she'll be back" the pager must have woken him "why don't you go back to sleep"
"ok, love you"
"love you too" I lean down kissing his forehead, right next to the stitches.

Arizona
The page I had gotten was to the pit. "oh good you're here" Richard greeted me
"what do we got?" I ask reaching for the chart.
"28-year-old, 32 weeks pregnant, fell down a flight of stairs"
"fell or was pushed" I mutter under my breath
"fell" Richard says, I let out a sigh and gown up.
"my baby, please save my baby" I hear the woman say as I enter the room "hi, I'm Dr. Robbins" I smile moving closer"
"Janelle" the lady says "is my baby alright?"
"Janelle" I smile "let's take a look" I reach for the ultrasound machine, lifting up her gown, spreading the jelly on her stomach and went to work. Nothing seemed to be wrong with the baby, in fact "Janelle, how far along are you?"
"32 weeks" she says, and I look closer at the monitor "hmm, alright" I hum and remove the wand, grabbing a towel to wipe off the jelly. "Janelle who is your doctor?"
"Dr. Fredricks, at Seattle Pres"
"hmm" I hum again pushing the machine out of the way.
"is" she starts to say, but couldn't through the tears "is my baby alright?" I smile and nod "it appears you are farther along then you thought, and you are in labor"
"but" she shook her head "no, no, they said I was"
"Janelle, oh thank god" a woman says standing in the door way
"Sherry" Janelle says in a sigh "oh thank god you're here" I step back as I watch the tall brunette enter the room. And I can't help but smile when she leans down to kiss her "this is Dr. Robbins, she says I'm in labor"
"how" the brunette asks looking at me "she's only 32 weeks"
"turns out she's farther along than you were told"
"did the fall cause it?" Sherry asks "I was at work, I, I" she shakes her head
"well, Janelle how were you feeling before you fell?"
"a little crampy, but nothing too much, I just lost my balance heading down the stairs, Sherry is always telling me to take it slow, but I was carrying our laundry basket, and"
"oh baby, I could have done that when I got home" Sherry says kissing her forehead. I hear someone enter the room and look up and am met with a pair of brown eyes and smile "this is Dr. Torres she's going to see if anything is broken" Callie smiles and goes to work. A few minutes later she speaks "well near as I can tell her left knee has some water on it, and the left arm is" she pauses looking up at Janelle "I need some scans to be sure, but I'm pretty sure it's broke"
"how am I supposed to care for a baby with a broken arm" Janelle cries, her cry turned into a groan of pain when a contraction hit. "shit" I say turning towards the intern that is in the room "call OB and tell them we're coming" he nods and leaves the room.
"what's going on?" Callie asks, I have to laugh sure Callie Torres knows when a woman is in labor, I see she's still not catching on "your scan will have to wait, she's in labor"
"oh" the look on Callie's face was priceless. Like she was just told the secret ingredient in KFC's chicken batter. "alright people let's move, Callie you can do what you need to do once we're upstairs." She's still standing there, with her mouth gaping, I laugh as we go to push the bed out of the room. Pausing at the door I turn back "you coming?"
"ah, yeah" she shakes her head and follows. As we walk down the hallway, we passed Maggie, and I just happen to see the look they gave each other. Ah blossoming love, I remember those days when Meredith and I had just gotten together and couldn't get enough of each other. I smile I kind of miss the days of sneaking off to on call rooms, and storage closets for quick kisses. Once we are inside the elevator, I lean over to Callie "seriously, just tell us"
"tell you what" she looks at me confused
"oh Callie" I laugh shaking my head "Maggie is an amazing woman" the doors open and I'm cut off from my statement. "just leave it be" Callie whispers
"but"
"no Arizona" she stops and looks at me "leave it alone, we'll tell everyone when she's ready"
"so there is" she cuts me off by holding her hand in front of my face, looking around she reaches for my arm and pulls me into the nearest empty room "ok, yes we've been" she waves her hand around in emphasis "all that, we haven't been out on a date, it's just two women having fun"
"do you want to date her?"
"do I want to date her?" she repeats my question "of course I want to date her, I want more, I always want more, you of all people should know that, but the question is does she?"
"I'm not the one you should be asking that" I nudge her and smile, she nods "come on, we've got a momma to fix up" she nods again and we leave the room.

Meredith
Sitting here as I watch my boy sleep off the pain medication he was given. I can't help but notice how much he looks like Derek. Guess it's a good thing his name is Derek huh? A lone tear escapes my eye, I reach up to wipe it away. I'm not going to cry over him, I'm done crying over that man. He left me, he lied and left me and his kids, all for a fucking job. Feeling my anger starting to rise, I hadn't let myself think about all this, I chose to focus on my wife. That week had been hell, I spent all of it in bed crying, and from what I've heard Arizona was the same. Shaking my head when I feel my phone vibrate, I reach for it seeing a text from Arizona "I've got a birthing mother, it's going to be awhile, how's our man?"~ A
"he woke up for a bit but is resting now"~ M
"that's great, do you need anything?"~ A
"just you"~ M. I smile and hit send
"me too"~ A. I find myself smiling like an idiot at my phone, my wife always knows what to say. She's always been that way, even when we were on that mountain, and she was in so much pain. Setting my phone down on the table, I focus my attention back on my son. Arizona and I have yet to have the talk about wanting more, do I want more? I mean having a little Arizona running around would be awesome, but Ellis is finally at the point where we don't need to watch her every minute, and the girls are old enough to help… I'm so lost in my thoughts I didn't even hear Maggie come into the room, I jump when I feel her touch my arm. "sorry I didn't mean to scare you"
"it's fine, I was just" I shake my head and look at my sister, she's got 2 cups of coffee in her hands and hands one of them to me "I thought you might need this"
"thanks" I take it from her and watch her sit in the chair next to me "I saw Arizona headed with a patient"
"yeah she got a page" I roll my eyes, taking a sip of the coffee.
"how is he" she asks nodding towards the bed, where Bailey is sleeping "he woke up for a few minutes, but I think he'll be just fine once the meds wear off"
"that's good" she smiles, I look at her, and have to bite the inside of my lip to not say what I'm thinking. "Mer, can I talk to you about something?"
"of course" I smile "I am your older sister" we both laugh, I watch her carefully as she takes a deep breath "I, I" she studders "shit, I can't even say it" reaching over I grab her hand "is this about Callie?"
"how?" she looks up at me shaking her head "oh" she laughs "we haven't been that discrete" I laugh shaking my head "no you haven't" I sit back in the chair "well go on"
"we've been" she looks away "well you know"
"dating?" I ask
"well" she shakes her head "there's been no dates, but"
"is this like the DeLuca thing?"
"kind of" she shrugs, and is quiet for a moment "how did you know you wanted to be with Arizona?" I smile, like I always do when Arizona is brought up "well, I guess I kind of always knew"
"but how did you know the time was right?" I laugh thinking about that first day we were together. "you really want to hear it?" I smile
"yeah" she nods
"well" I shift in my seat, taking a sip of my coffee, lowering my voice, if Bailey woke up he didn't need to hear this. "the first time, I was looking for her, a nurse said she was in an on call room, sleeping. And me being me, I didn't knock, I just pushed open the door and found her standing there in her underwear, and well" I shrug, with a smile "I don't really know what came over me, it's like I was someone else, once I shut and locked the door, I couldn't control myself and kissed her. The next thing I knew I was on the bed, and she was hovering over me, making me feel things I didn't know I could feel" I know I'm smiling like an idiot but I don't care "the kiss Maggie, that kiss was" I look at her, I can tell she's trying to hold back a laugh "Derek once said I was like a breath of fresh air, like he was drowning and I brought him back" she nods "that first kiss with Arizona was" I pause, god I can't believe I'm explaining something this sappy "it was like, you know that feeling you get when you are so hungry and you take your first bite of food after not eating in forever?" I see her nod "is it like that?"
"well, Callie's pretty great" she mumbles,
"I've kissed her once"
"what?"
"when her and Arizona separated, after the whole Lauren thing" I take another sip "she was staying with us, at the dream house and well"
"you kissed my girlfriend"
"your girlfriend huh?" I laugh
"um" she covers her mouth and we laugh "do you want her to be your girlfriend?" she looks up meeting my eyes, and nods "I think I do"
"I think maybe you should tell her, find out if she feels the same" she nods, I hear my phone vibrate and look over seeing a text from my wife "you still good? I can hand this case over, if you need me"~ A
"I'm good Maggie is here"~ M
"funny, I'm actually working with Callie on this one"~ A. I let out a laugh
"what's so funny" Maggie asks.
"well it seems your girlfriend is working with my wife right now" I smile
"well guess I can't talk to her right now" Maggie lets out a sigh of relief, and sits back "would it be weird?"
"no" I shake my head "just do what makes you happy and if Callie makes you happy then" our conversation is cut short when Bailey wakes up calling for me.

Arizona
After a few hours, I had delivered a baby girl to the couple, a healthy baby girl. Callie had determined that Janelle's arm was broken and put a splint on it until after the birth. She was now in there putting a hard cast on it, as I'm doing another check on mom. "how you feeling" I ask the new mother
"kind of weirded out, I mean I thought we had a few more weeks yet"
"how did" I start to ask but decide it was none of my business
"go ahead Dr. Robbins" Sherry says
"I'm sorry, I'm just confused how you didn't know how far along you were" I see Callie hide her laugh out of the corner of my eye. "well" Sherry says looking at Janelle. "I'm bi" Janelle says "but Sherry here is the love of my life" she looks at Sherry and they share a loving smile. "we met at a party, about 2 years ago" I look up and see they have Callie's attention also, as the couple went on "apparently it was around 10 months ago we had gotten into a pretty big argument, causing us to break up" Sherry grabs Janelle's hand "I'm still sorry about that"
"I know you are baby" Janelle smiles "I ended up drinking way too much, and met a guy, and" she nods towards the baby. I chance a look at Callie who is engrossed with the story telling. My mind flashes back..

"this is jealousy Arizona. You're jealous of Mark, get over it"
"do you blame me? I mean he gets most of you, the straight you, the catholic you, the girl who loves baby showers. I just get, you know, the gay you, which is only about 20 minutes a night, not even since you just feel too fat to even let me touch you lately"
"look I'm doing my best here, to make sure you are happy, that Mark is happy, that the tiny person growing inside me is happy. I don't know what else I can do to be honest. Please tell me, whatever will make you happy I will do it" I'm quiet for a minute looking at the road then turn towards her "marry me?"
"what" she scoffs
"I mean it, I love you more than anything, and I want more. I want commitments I want rings" I smile "so marry me?" of course my attention isn't on the road, and when Callie looks up, she screams…. Crash!
Xxxxx
Shaking my head, of all the flash backs I could have had why did I go back to that? "Arizona" Callie says, I look up and am met with a pair of concerned eyes. She tilts her head "are you ok?" I smile and nod "yes Calliope I'm fine" a smile graces her face at the use of her full name. I know I haven't called her that in a very long time. She nods and we turn our focus back to the patient, "well Janelle, your arm will be good in about 8 weeks, if you have any concerns about anything feel free to either stop by or call me" Callie smiles, looks at me nods and leaves the room. "what's going on here?" Sherry asks confused.
"there's obviously something between the two doctors" Janelle says, shaking my head, "no there's nothing going on between the two of us, I am married, happily"
"ok then something" Sherry says
"wait, you said you had a daughter" Janelle smiles
"I actually have 4 kids" I smile "3 daughters and a son"
"oh you got pictures?" Janelle asks, rolling my eyes I knew the instant she saw the pictures she'd see Sofia looks just like Callie and figure it out. I nod and pull out my phone, I still hadn't changed my lock screen, holding out my phone "is that your wife?" Sherry asks
"mmhmm" I smile
"damn, good job Dr. Robbins" Janelle says
"wait" Sherry says taking the phone out of my hands "I know her, where have I seen her before?"
"she's" I swallow hard "she's a doctor here at Grey Sloan"
"and these are your kids" I nod "together?" I nod again, because we are together, and they are ours… right? "oh that's so sweet a mixed family" Sherry coos I watch as she looks closer at the picture "oh my god" she looks at me "there was something between you two" she smiles and turns my phone towards Janelle "see baby" Janelle smiles "oh details please" I start to panic for a moment, then decide to tell them the short version "well" I take a seat on the edge of the bed "Dr. Torres and I were married, and that little girl is ours"
"you hear that they were married" Sherry says
"why is it past tense? What happened" rolling my eyes I really didn't want to get into that "we, ah, we decided we were better off friends" that was so not the case but hopefully they will leave it at that. "and then you met your now wife?"
"well" I let out a deep breath "Meredith, my wife, has always worked here"
"her name is Meredith?" Sherry asks, I nod "wait, you're not talking about Dr. Meredith Grey?" I nod again "that's why I've seen her before, baby do you remember that day we were at the fire station?" rolling my eyes, what did I do. Janelle's voice was excited "oh and that lady came in, and" luckily they were cut off by the baby crying. Sherry smiles and reaches for the little girl, picking her up. "Dr. Robbins, I liked you to officially meet Angela Robin" I look at the couple, and they smile. "we hadn't picked a middle name yet" Sherry smiles
"and I really like the name Robin, so" Janelle says reaching up running her finger over the baby's head. After everything this woman has been through in the last 24 hours, I'm surprised she's this chipper. I smile, and nod. Hearing my phone go off, I pull it out and see it's a text from Meredith. "hey guys I have to get going"
"oh so soon" Sherry says not taking her eyes off the baby.
"yeah" I nod "my son is actually here, he fell and broke his arm also" I pause "and that's my wife telling me he's ready to go home" a little white lie never hurt anyone
"oh, I hope he feels better" Sherry says
"he will, we just need to get him home" I smile, give one last look at the baby and leave the room. Letting out a sigh of relief once I'm inside the elevator. Those ladies are, I don't even know the right word to use. They're perfect for each other, I'm laughing to myself when the doors open and Callie is standing there. "hey" she says as she steps in.
"hi"
"how did you get free?" she laughs
"luckily, a text from Mer" I laugh holding up my phone, the text was actually just her asking me where I was, but it gave me a reason to leave. "oh how's the little man?"
"honestly I'm not sure" I laugh
"well I'll come with you and find out for myself" she smiles hitting the button that was already pressed. "the baby sure is cute"
"yeah she is" I smile
"have" Callie starts, "have you and Mer talked about having any more?"
"what?" I look at her, seeing her shrug her shoulders "have you and Mer talked about having any more?"
"any more kids?" I asked kind of baffled that she of all people is asking me this question
"yeah"
"um" I shake my head "no actually we haven't"
"oh" she says looking at the floor "I wish I could"
"I know you do" I pat her arm "hey maybe Maggie will"
"Arizona" she shakes her head "we aren't even" I laugh. The blush on her face says more than any of her words could. But her question got me thinking, do I want another baby? I'm not sure, I mean Ellis is at the age now where we don't have to constantly watch her, it's kind of freeing. I guess that's something Meredith and I will have to talk about. The doors open and Callie and I step out, Bailey's room isn't far, so we make the walk quickly. Walking into the room my beautiful, tired wife is still sitting in the chair where she was the last time I saw her, and Maggie is next to her. I have to hold back a laugh when I hear her and Callie's little conversation. Maggie looks at her phone and shyly says "I'm going to go get changed, did you want me to get the girls?" she asks looking at me then at Meredith. We both nod as Meredith says "if you wouldn't mind"
"not at all, I'll just take them home and" she looks at Callie and stops talking.
"good lord" I can't keep it in any longer "you two need to talk, so take the girls home, feed them, put on movie on for them and talk" I hear Meredith laugh. As Callie and Maggie both stand there dumbfounded. "well" Meredith says. Callie lets out a big puff of air and turns to Maggie "I think we do need to talk"
"yes" Maggie nods
"you go get the girls and I'll grab some dinner and meet you at the house"
"ok" Maggie says, I look at Meredith who is trying hard not to laugh. As Callie and Maggie both leave the room. "wow"
"yeah, you think they'll actually talk?" I ask looking at her
"I hope so" she smiles, I place a kiss on her lips and take the chair next to her. "maybe at the next board meeting we should vote on new chairs for patient rooms" I say, Meredith lets out a groan "tell me about it, my ass is killing me"
"oh, do you need a massage?" I was raising my eyebrow, she laughs and hits my arm "stop, Bailey is right here"
"how's he doing?"
"good, he woke up again, I gave him some water and we watched a little tv, he said his arm hurt so I had the nurse give him some more pain meds and he passed out" I reach for her hand bring it up to my lips and kiss the back of it. She giggles and pulls her hand back, as we sit back and watch our boy sleep. After a few minutes of silence Meredith speaks "have" I look at her, seeing her shake her head "never mind"
"no" I reach for her hand again "just say it" she lets out a groan but not saying anything "Meredith" giving her the look I give the kids, she groans again but says what's on her mind "have you thought about having another"
"another broken arm?" I look at Bailey "I mean the blue cast looks awesome but I really don't want to go through the pain again" I smile, and laugh when I hear her scoff at my answer "no you idiot" she swats my arm. I turn my head to look at her "another baby?" she nods "well" I sit back in my chair "what are your thoughts?" I ask
"I'm not sure, I mean, we already have 4 wonderful kids, and Ellis almost to the point we don't need to watch her every moment. Do we really want to start over?" our eyes meet, I squeeze her hand "those are my thoughts too"
"so it's a no then?"
"is that what you want?" my voice is soft, this time it's her who pulls my hand up to her mouth and kisses the back of it "I think so, at least right now"
"ok" I smile "who knows we might change our minds in a year or so"
"sounds good" she smiles back at me, and lays her head on my shoulder "I love you"
"I love you, too"

Arizona and I had fallen asleep, my head on her shoulder in those uncomfortable chairs. Lifting my head and check the time, it wasn't even midnight yet. Standing up I go to check on Bailey, who is fine, still sleeping it off. Looking at my wife, knowing she's going to be hurting tomorrow, sleeping like that, I kneel down in front of her "Arizona" I say softly, as those blue orbs open and try and focus. She looks at me "what time is it"
"not even midnight" she groans as she tries to stretch
"how is he?"
"he's fine, why don't we go to an on call room"
"how about we just get a bed brought in here" she says "I don't want him to wake up alone"
"ok" I smile and stand
"just give me a minute" I watch as she stands and leaves the room. Coming back a few minutes later with a nurse and a bed. I laugh when I see it's a regular patient bed "Arizona"
"what?" she looks at me, we both thank the nurse and Arizona shuts the door after she leaves. I walk over kicking the brake to make sure it doesn't roll away. "I didn't want to try and squeeze on a cot all night" she says, pulling her scrub pants off, then sitting down to take her prosthetic off. "oh god that feels amazing" she says once the cool air hits her skin. I look at her residual limb and shake my head "you want some ice for that?"
"hmm, maybe" she smiles I kiss her and leave the room, finding the same nurse standing at the nurses station "something I can do for you Dr. Grey"
"Dr. Robbins would like some ice for her" I stop talking everyone knows why Arizona would need ice. "anything else?" she asks
"maybe some ibuprofen? It was looking a little swollen"
"I'll be right in with it"
"thank you" I smile and head back into the room Arizona has already made herself comfortable on the bed "the nurse will be right in"
"thanks honey" she smiles, a knock at the door tells me the nurse is back, I open it and she hands me an ice bucket, some ibuprofen and a couple bottles of water, that I didn't even think about "thank you"
"yes thank you" Arizona calls from the bed, she smiles and nods and walks away. Closing the door, I set the stuff down on the table and go about undressing. Normally I would just sleep in my scrub pants, but I'd already been in them for far longer than I like. Picking up the bucket of ice and ibuprofen I hand it to Arizona, she pops the pills in her mouth then reaches for the water. "you want help with the ice?" she smiles and nods "yes please" I know the leg is a touchy subject with her, but she has always, well not always but since we've been together, let me help her with it. "need anything else?" I ask before I climb into the bed.
"just my wife" she smiles and winks at me
"ok but no funny business" I say climbing onto the bed, laying my head on her chest, I let out a contented sigh when I feel her run her fingers through my hair. The last couple days have been hectic, even though I've spent most of the time sitting in this room. I feel all my worries leave me, as my wife massages my scalp, and feel myself drift off but not before a soft "I love you."
"I love you too"
