A split of second...
That's what it took Arizona to leave the room and for Callie to see her ex wife was there.
The people around her didn't even notice what was happening and they just turned their head when the noise of the slaming doors was heard.

Callie found herself helpless. She didn't know what to do. She mumbled some words, looking at Kate even she knew her friend didn't even knew Arizona.

She was on her own and she had to do something. She suddenly excuse herself and tried to catch up her ex wife.

She walked as fast as she can, still ovewhelmed by the confession she shared with all those people she migt never see again.

It had been so easy. They had been really attentive at her words and they understood her pain. But they were not involved in her story. They weren't there. They haven't lived everything she and Arizona ha d been throught.

As she opened the back door leading to the parking lot, she saw the shape of Arziona who was frantically diging in her purse.

Relieved and also scared by the idea she wasn't already gone, Callie decided she wouldn't flinch. She would do something right now. She didn't have any idea what she could say or do but she had to do it.

Arizona and her had been so distant since they decided to end their mariage. All the papers and arrangement were done by their attorneys, they had avoiding any kind of contact throught the years. The only time they were in the same room was when they had to. It was only regarding their kids life and even when it happenned, they barely talk to each other.

Communication was always a part of their problems and they were not talking by mails and text.

There had only been that occasion, at Alex Karev Wedding.
Callie wasn't supposed to be there and Arizona had been really clear toward Alex when he invited her.

The young man had invited his mentor and friend. It was totally normal for him. Even if she was now working in another hospital, she was still important to him.

But Joe, Alex's wife, was working in orthopaedics with Callie and she wanted her at her wedding.

The two women found themselves nose to nose in the bathroom and it had resulted a heated argument over where the kids would spend their christmas hollidays.

In the end, Arizona wasn't able to face her former coworkers who had heard everything. She couldn't stand their gaze on her, the pity and the reproach in their eyes. So she left the party in a hurry.

It was that scene Callie had on her mind as she approached Arizona who was still looking for her keys in her purse.

« Arizona... » Callie almost whispered from behind and Arizona's body tense instantly. The bonde closed her eyes and grit her teeth.

« Not tonight... Not Now Please...' » she thought to herself.

« Please... » Callie insisted. Already knowing it was going to be hard.

Arizona wouldn't acknowledge Callie's presence and finally grabbed her keys. She didn't loose a second and opened her car but felt her wrist being grabbed.

« Get away from me ! » She coldly said, the tone of her voice shaky.

« Arizona... I... What... » Callie tried to find something to say. « Can you please listen to me ? »

Arizona tried to get rid of Callie's grip on the sleeve of her jacket. It was not happening and she wouldn't let Callie dictate what she would do.

« I need to go please. » Arizona continued, but Callie pulled her sleeve a little more and she had to turn her body and was now face to face with the womans she used to share everything.

« I think we need to talk. » Callie wandered.

« I have to go, can you please let my sleeve go ? » Arizona asked, looking at the ground.

« Can you please look at me ? » Callie softly asked her. « I'm sorry I didn't know you would be there... »

Arizona swallowed hard, trying to figure a way out of that pathetic situation.

« I need to go. » She repeated, her voice now filled with emotions.

« Can you at least look at me ? » Callie insisted. She felt her ex wife so vulnerable at the moment it was breaking her heart. She realise how she seemed small. She had lost a few pounds again, she was so tense her body was shaking but she was doing everything she could to hide it in a pure Robbins way.

« I need to go. The kids are home with my mother and she... » Arizona stopped herself, didn't want to be too familiar with Callie, but she eventually raised her head and her blue eyes met Callie's gaze directly for the firs time in months.

« Hey... » Callie smiled, relieved to be able to see her face. « I think... Maybe we should do something with the kids some day. Like a diner or something... »

Totaly surprised by what she just asked, Callie felt stupid.

« I don't think it's a good idea. » Arizona coldly replied.

« I... Maybe it's too much... We might just go for an ice cream after school ? » Callie insisted.

« I can't do that. I'm sorry. » Arizona confessed. « I can't. Sorry. »

« I... Okay... » Callie sighed. « I just want everything to be as normal as it can for them. We haven't really talk lately and I think Travis is a little sad. We might try to cheer him up don't you think ? »

« Sure. He will have everything he need to cheer up in a few months right ? » Arizona stated, her tone now colder than ever.

« What ? » Callie wondered. « What are you talking about ? »

« Nothing... Just... » Arizona mumbled as she turned to open the door of her car.

« Arizona ? » Callie insisted. « What's the problem ? Did he told you something ? I have the right to know ! »

« You have all the right in the world Callie. » Arizona bitterly said. « But next time you're making plans about having a kid with your girlfriend, make sure to warn your two other kids before they heard a conversation they were not suppose to hear. »

Arizona didn't wait any answer. She got in her car and left a speechless Callie in the middle of the parking lot.
