A/N: Sorry this took a while for JJ and I to get out, but we took a short break in order to write some one shots for the Secret Santa event on the LJ Callie_Arizona community. We hope this chapter does not disappoint! This is a little fun before an intense chapter. We appreciate all the comments about the story and would love if you took the time to leave some more. <3 Thank you all for reading!
“Okay, before I say what I need to tell you, I want you to know that I love you. I really, truly love you, Arizona, and whatever your decision is about this crazy situation that I’m about to tell you about, I will support you one hundred percent regardless of what you choose to do with this bit of information...” Arizona stared at Callie like she was lost, because frankly, she was lost. Her eyes were slightly squinted and her nose was crinkled up with confusion. If Callie wasn’t trying to have a serious conversation with her right now, she would have moved closer and kissed her right then and there for being so damn adorable. Suddenly Arizona’s eyes opened wide as though she had realized what Callie was about to tell her.
“Oh Calliope… Is this about whether or not I think having sex in a hospital patients room is appropriate..? Because I am totally for it, Calliope, totally! And I’m definitely in the mood to have my way with you… Right. Now.” Arizona wiggled her eye brows playfully and she reached her hands up and pawed at Callie’s scrub top before grabbing it in two handfuls, desperately trying to yank it off her body. “Come on, baby… You have no idea how hot you look in those scrubs and what seeing you in them does to me,” she continued in a purr.
“No, my god, it’s like you’re a teenage boy!” Callie couldn’t help but laugh at her words as she managed to get Arizona to remove her hands from her chest. She glanced around and coughed before turning back into serious wife mode. “No, Arizona, it’s… god, I really don’t know how to tell you this but…”
“Knock knock!” Callie closed her eyes in frustration and turned to see a beaming Addison in the doorway. She sighed deeply, though she was honestly happy at the intrusion Addison just made.
“Addddddiiiiiiiieeeeee,” Arizona called out her in a sing song voice.
“Hey, I hope I’m not intruding. I just finished a consult next door and thought I’d pop my head through the door to see how you’re doing?” Arizona made a pfft sound and crossed her arms.
“Please, I’d be on rounds right now if Teddy wasn’t so uptight about it!” Callie rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Plus I never get tired of visitors, especially when it’s you Dr. Montgomery.” Arizona batted her eyes at Addison and waved her to come in.
Callie ran a hand through her hair; she knew what Arizona’s tone of voice meant. She wished that Teddy would hurry up or she was convinced that by dinner time, Arizona would have tried to seduce every female member of staff in the hospital.
“Why thank you, Dr. Robbins, it’s always nice to receive a compliment.” Addie walked in and sat down in the chair next to Arizona’s bed.
“Well in that case, let me tell you this…” She held out her hand and gestured for Addie to come in closer so she could whisper in her ear. “If I ever got the chance to see Callie… you know… with someone else…” She glanced up at Callie with a wicked grin and then turned back to Addison. She lifted one hand to brush a few strands of Addison’s hair behind her ear and then finished whispering her sentence into her ear, “…I would so pick you.” She leaned back in her bed and licked her lips while watching both women.
“Okay, that is enough sharing for today...” Callie felt mortified as Addison fell back into her chair almost howling with laughter.
“Callie! Your wife is quite the character today. Something tells me I’m not the first person to receive this special treatment from her?” Callie shook her head with a small grin on her lips. She had to admit that she was kind of amused with Arizona’s antics.
“Nope, she’s been like this with me obviously, but she has also hit on her nurses, Teddy, an intern that came to get Teddy for a consult, a police woman that came to try and talk to her, Lexie twice, and Teddy again.” Addison was almost in tears from laughter as she listened to Callie talk about Arizona’s actions. “Right before you walked in, she propositioned to take me right here on this bed, right now, doctors and nurses be damned.” She and Addison shared a laugh.
“I’ve told you before Calliope, all the ladies love me. I can’t help it if I’m irresistible and they all want a piece of me. And it’s true; you two would totally make a hot couple, I mean, if you weren’t with me, but you’re so totally with me,” Arizona’s eyes lit up in mirth. “We could totally make the most of the whole friends with benefits experience.” Arizona winked at Addison and blew her a kiss.
Callie put her head in her hands and groaned, “Arizoooooona…”
“Honestly, I’m flattered, but something tells me your wife doesn’t agree with you.” Addison laughed and her cheeks were rosy from the conversation.
“Oh no, Addie, she definitely agrees with me. She thinks you’re hot. We’ve actually rated a lot of friends, you know, on nights when we’ve had jusssst a little too much wine.” Addison’s head whipped round to look at Callie.
“Arizona!” Callie was totally humiliated now.
“Oh really Callie, you think I’m hot?” Callie could feel her face getter redder and redder by the second. She glared at her friend who just smirked at her and raised an eyebrow.
“Can we please just change the subject?” Callie wasn’t too proud to beg.
“We could just lock the door and then close the blinds… no one ever needs to know.” Arizona whispered the last part like a secret and just as she did, Bailey wandered in to the room carrying a chart. “Ooooh Bailey, I think your ears were burning, all you had to do was ask! Lock the door, Miranda.” Arizona sent a wink Bailey’s way.
Bailey stood stock still and glanced around the room. Arizona was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Callie was as red as a lobster, though she was shaking her head slightly and looked thoroughly embarrassed. Addison was also looking red in the face, though she was laughing and looked as though she was out of breath from previous laughter. “And why am I locking the door..?”
“So we can all get naked and have an orgy! Seriously, this is like one of my biggest fantasies coming true, though I never thought it would happen in a patient’s room and I never thought I’d be the patient. You guys are going to have to play doctor very delicately with me, I’m in pain and I don’t want any of my sutures to rip open. I have a feeling that Miranda is totally a beast in the sheets, right?” Arizona was practically bouncing in her bed and giggling like a school girl. “Come on, ladies…” Callie couldn’t believe Arizona was using her bedroom voice, the one that she thought she sounded really, really hot, but it was more silly than seductive and it was a turn on for Callie, but anyone else would probably laugh. And that’s when she heard Addison start to laugh riotously next to her.
Miranda Bailey was in shock. She was staring at Arizona and her mouth was slightly ajar as her brain processed what was just said to her. When Addie laughed, it spurred her into motion and her mouth moved with so many things she wanted to say; only nothing came out.
Callie leaned toward Addison, “Wow, Bailey is speechless…” Addison’s laughter just continued. “I would never believe it if I wasn’t bearing witness to it right before my very eyes.”
“I would like to see some toplessness right before my very eyes,” Arizona grinned and batted her eyes at the three ladies in her room. “I’ll go first!” She started to maneuver herself so that she can take her gown off.
“Oh, Arizona, not again..!” Callie jumped up and placed her hands over Arizona’s to stop her from taking her gown off. “I think we’re going to stay fully clothed and yell at Teddy some more until she changes your medication…”
“Oh, think she might like that?” Arizona’s eyes widened with that idea and Callie really just wanted to slap her palm to her forehead, but she knew she couldn’t until Arizona leaned back and stopped trying to undress.
“This is better than daytime television!” Addison was still laughing and she reached out and slapped Bailey against the arm.
Bailey turned her head and stared at Addison incredulously.
“Oh, uh, sorry… M-Miran--, uh, Bailey,” she coughed and took a deep breath, happy that Bailey scared the laughter out of her, because she was starting to have trouble catching her breath.
“I did not walk into this room to be hit on like the only girl at a senior prom.” The room erupted into giggles. “In case you all have forgotten, I don’t do the giggling and gossiping thing, so let’s just stop this now.”
Addison and Callie tried as they might, but they just could not stop their giggles. Arizona stared at Bailey and tilted her head slightly, “Miranda, you’re so beautiful. You’re also bossy and that is pretty hot.”
Bailey sputtered on whatever she was going to say and stomped her foot while turning to look at Callie with an incredulous look.
“Arizona, seriously, can you say things in your head instead of out loud for just a little while..?” Callie sighed and glanced at Bailey with a look of pure apology. “Once these drugs get out of her system I really, really hope she’ll get back to normal. Teddy said she was going to adjust the parameters of all of her medications.”
“I feel really good though, Calliope. Really good,” Arizona was beaming her super magic smile at all the ladies in the room.
“Yeah, we know.” Callie deadpanned.
A moment later, two more people came through the door. Cristina had Arizona’s chart in her hands and she walked into the room as though she owned it, not paying attention to any of the other doctors in the room. “Teddy sent me to check up on you.”
“And Meredith is here because you’re both attached at the hip,” Addison said with an eye roll.
Before anyone could respond, Bailey spoke up, “Well, I’ve had enough of this party atmosphere… And I’m not visiting again when she’s this doped up.” She turned and started to walk out of the door while muttering, “…probably would walk in on her half naked and trying to undress some helpless intern…”
“Yang,” Arizona said shortly. Cristina nodded once and went about her work.
“Merediiith Grey, hiiiii.” Arizona batted her eyes and waved shyly at Meredith.
“Oh boy, here we go again... Arizona!” Callie crossed her arms and shook her head slightly. Honestly, the whole thing was pretty funny, because she was completely secure in her relationship with Arizona. And she knew Arizona was pretty much a sexual predator in her younger years and it seemed the combination of drugs she was on really was bringing out that side of her wife.
Meredith glanced around the room, completely lost as to what was going on.
“Whaaaat, Calliope? She’s hot!” Arizona said with a slight shrug.
“And I’m not hot?” Cristina said as she drew a vial of blood from Arizona’s arm.
“No, you’re Yang.” Arizona said with no emotion.
“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?” Cristina said as she ripped the needle out of Arizona’s arm.
“Ouch..! Be gentle with me… I’m a patient.” Arizona grimaced in pain and tried to pull her arm out of Cristina’s grasp.
Callie and Addison were snickering at the scene playing out in front of them. Meredith walked over and stood between their chairs. “Uhm, what’s going on?”
“Arizona’s drugs are making her hit on every female she sees…” Addison started.
“…Except Yang apparently,” Callie finished with a laugh.
“Hey, I’m hot. Asians are hot. There’s like, an entire porno industry dedicated to Asians. All the blonde bimbos are mixed in with the busty brunettes and red-headed step children.” Cristina said as she made a note in Arizona’s chart.
“Hey!” Addison, Callie, Meredith and Arizona all said at the same time.
“It’s the truth,” Cristina deadpanned.
“I’m not sure we should be offended since we’re talking about porn.” Addison said with sigh.
“Oh man, did I ever pick the right time to come and check on Blondie,” Mark said with the biggest grin ever on his face. Lexie was next to him, but her face was bright red and she hesitated to step into the room, remembering what happened earlier with Dr. Robbins. Callie had stepped out to grab a cup of coffee while Lexie went in to check up on Teddy’s patient, since Teddy and Cristina were in surgery.
Lexie was jotting a note in Arizona’s chart while standing next to her bed and staring at one of the many machines monitoring her patient. She had her back to Arizona’s bed, but the blonde was asleep when she came in, so she just went about her work. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her butt and jumped about ten feet into the air and then rushed forward, knocking over the monitoring equipment and pulling out the line that was set in Arizona’s arm for easy blood taking and medication giving.
“It was worth it, you have a hot ass, Lexie,” Arizona said as she grabbed her arm and groaned in pain.
“D-Dr. R-Rob-bbins…” Lexie said as she quickly got up and started to put all the equipment back in order. “T-that’s highly inappropriate a-and… and I’m your d-doctor right now, p-plus you have a wif-fe that could break me!” She leaned in close to Arizona and whispered loudly, “Like break every bone in my body type break me! A-and I’m happily m-married and SO ARE YOU! …With kids! We both have kids, you can’t be touching my butt!”
Arizona rolled her eyes and pouted, “But you stuck it out, right in front of my face… And really, you’re married to Mark; he’d probably high five me.”
“You were sleeping!” Lexie said as she got a tray of equipment to put the line back in Arizona’s arm, “And I wasn’t doing that on purpose, I was working.” Lexie’s words were hissed and her face was bright red. She was very flustered and exceedingly happy that Callie had stepped away. “You keep your hands to yourself and inside your bed at all times.”
“What is this? A hospital Disney ride? I get to see all the pretty nurses and doctors, but I’m stuck in this dumb vehicle?” Arizona pouted.
“I’m leaving!” Lexie finished her work and practically ran out of the room, bumping into Callie on the way out, “Your wife…! Ugh!” And she stomped off, leaving a very confused Callie in her wake.
“Hi Lexie!” Arizona said with a grin.
Lexie grabbed onto Mark’s arm and moved to stand as close as possible to him. “Husband!” she hissed at Arizona and everyone in the room started to laugh.
“Really? You flirt with little Grey, but not me? What is wrong with your taste in women?” Cristina rolled her eyes.
“Hey!” Callie said loudly.
“Man, Blondie, you are working the women in this hospital!” He held his hand up and Arizona did the same. They slapped hands while all other eyes in the room rolled.
“I told you so,” Arizona said to Lexie and stuck her tongue out at her.
“Really Mark? Encouraging that kind of behavior? She touched my ass!” Lexie said with a foot stomp.
“She’s on medication, give the woman a break.” He said to Lexie and then turned to Arizona, “It’s nice, right?”
“Yes, it’s a nice ass. But Callie’s is way better. I mean, waaaay better…” Arizona said with a glimmer in her eye.
“She’s got the boobs too. I’m a lucky man.” Mark said with a laugh.
“They’re good boobs, but Callie… now those are fantastic.” Arizona said with a grin, her eyes moving to Callie’s form.
“Yeah, they are.” Mark said with a laugh, which earned a slap from Lexie. “Hey, it’s true.”
“So true,” Arizona said with a grin while staring lovingly at Callie.
“Okay, everybody out.” Callie said, knowing the look in Arizona’s eyes meant trouble.
Everyone made their way out of the room, and then Cristina poked her head back in, “I’m hot and I’ll prove it to you!”
“Get out!” Callie said and then shut the door behind them. She turned and sat down by Arizona’s bed and grabbed her hand.
“Hi Honey,” Arizona said, the words dripping with sweetness. “The room is empty; it’s just you and I here.” Her lips curled into a grin and she tugged on Callie’s hand to pull her closer. “How about we make out like a couple of horny teenagers?”
“Arizona,” Callie whined. If Monica hadn’t shown up and caused her to feel as though trouble was lurking she might have taken Arizona up on that offer. “Please, I need you to stop thinking about sex for just five minutes so we can have a serious talk.”
Arizona’s brow furrowed as she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. She suddenly felt a strong sense of foreboding surround her. She licked her lips and pulled her hand away from Callie’s. “Whatever it is, can it wait? It’s just… I’m feeling pretty good right now, despite being stabbed and I’m getting to spend time with you. I miss the kids, but whatever you’re about to tell me, I can tell, it’s not something I’m going to want to hear… So, can we just pretend everything is okay for now? Just let me stare at your boobs and then tomorrow, when my medication is changed and I’m not high or whatever this is and I’m in pain from all the wounds, you can tell me…”
Callie sighed deeply. She really didn’t like keeping anything from Arizona, but seeing her broken wife begging for her to not tell her anything right now made her stomach twist in knots. “I don’t like keeping things from you, Arizona.”
“Just for a few hours, Calliope, until then, let’s sit here and bask in your beauty.” Arizona winked and then scooted over to the side of the bed. She then patted the empty place next to her.
Callie couldn’t help but chuckle at Arizona’s antics. “I would say, ‘I bet you say that to all the girls’, but I know that to be true already. And no, I’m not getting into that bed with you. You’re awfully handsy.”
“You sound jealous. You know I only want you. I did put a ring on it.” Arizona grinned and then lifted her arms so she could make grabbing motions toward Callie, but she groaned in pain at the movement. “Probably shouldn’t have done that. Now my shoulder is really achy.”
“See what trouble your libido gets you into?” Callie said with a pointed grin. She then got up and helped Arizona settle into the middle of the bed. She used her palm to gently caress Arizona’s forehead and then her cheeks before she leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips.
Their private moment was broken when the door to the room opened. Callie sighed against Arizona’s lips before pressing another soft kiss there and then sitting back down in the seat by the bed. They both looked up to the intruder and there stood Nix in blue scrubs and his white coat and his rainbow colored scrub cap still on his head. He smiled shyly at them both and Arizona just rolled her eyes. She turned back to Callie and completely ignored him.
“I just… uh, wanted to see how you were doing. You know, with all the crazy that happened today.” He said as he stepped further into the room. He pulled off his scrub cap and glanced to Callie, who had a stony look on her face, and then to Arizona, who wouldn’t even look at him. “You know, with Monica showing up out of nowhere looking for Arizona.”
The smile on Arizona’s face instantly disappeared as she looked back at Nix for a hard stare and then back at Callie.
“You told me not to tell you.” Callie sighed and gripped Arizona’s hand tightly with her own. Then she narrowed her gaze at Nix. “Do you have special radar that tells you when to poke your nose into a place and blurt out the one thing that shouldn’t be said?”
Nix looked affronted by Callie’s comment, “I thought she knew! I mean, seriously, it would be the first thing I would have told her when I saw her if she was my wife! Seriously, how could you keep something so important like that from her?!”
“That’s none of your business! None of this is any of your business, so why don’t you just stop butting your nose in where it’s not wanted. Now get out!” Arizona yelled and raised her arm so sharply that her shoulder snapped as she pointed toward the door.
Callie gasped in surprise at Arizona’s sharp movement and stood up. “Nix, I think you should go now.”
“You’re damn right he should,” Arizona’s voice was strong, but Callie could hear the pain behind it. “And seriously, don’t come back.” She grimaced in pain and forced herself back on the bed with a huff. She had been feeling really great, but now she felt pain in her shoulder and side and it was radiating all over her body. She could hear one of the monitoring systems beeping faster, signifying the rise in her blood pressure and her cheeks felt on fire. “Make him go, Callie…”
Nix stood there in shock. He couldn’t believe how he was being treated, when all he’s done was bent over backwards to try and protect his best friend. He loved Arizona like a sister, but the way she was acting toward him just broke his heart. He was frozen and just couldn’t force himself to move. He was stunned. He was hurt. He was ashamed.
“Nix, please…” Callie’s eyes pleaded with him to just go and not cause more of a conflict.
His brain finally turned on and he nodded slightly before turning and leaving the room, slamming the door behind himself. Callie jumped at the sound, but Arizona just stared at the wall behind her. It was as though the slamming of the door didn’t even register in her ears. Callie pulled the chair over in front of Arizona’s face, but her eyes were glazed over and watery. The look on her face just broke Callie’s heart. “Arizona?” Callie spoke softly while she sat down in the chair and gently caressed her cheeks with her hands. She watched as tears pooled in Arizona’s eyes and fell down her cheeks, but Arizona didn’t seem to register anything that was going on.
“Arizona, honey…” Callie was at a loss. She leaned in and kissed Arizona’s lips, but she didn’t respond to the touch. Callie tasted the saltiness of Arizona’s tears and felt her own eyes become watery, but she swallowed that pain and forced herself not to cry. “Honey, are you okay?”
“Yes, fine,” Arizona said in a monotone voice. She was still staring off into space. “I’m thirsty, would you mind getting me some water? The pitcher is empty.”
Callie nodded and after caressing Arizona’s cheek once more and seeing the dejected look all over her wife’s face, she finally stood up and walked to the tray in order to grab the pitcher. She picked it up and it was very full. She sighed softly. This was Arizona’s way of asking her for a few minutes alone. “Alright, I’m going to go get you some cold water. I’ll be right back.”
Arizona was angry. How dare Nix talk to Callie like that. And worse yet, here he spreading gossip about her and her situation. Stories run so rampant through the hospital, why couldn’t he keep his mouth shut? He was supposed to be her friend! Arizona couldn’t bring herself to move. Her shoulder was screaming in agony, but that pain was nothing compared to the realization of betrayal from her friend, her best friend, not once, but twice.
And why was Monica here? And asking to speak with her? Arizona suddenly felt like the butt of some cosmic joke. Here’s a wonderful life, a great wife, four totally amazingly awesome kids, but you’re going to fall in love with someone who can’t handle being a lesbian, be tortured by her brothers in college, and when everything seems okay in the world, one of those brothers is going to try and kill you… and nearly succeed.
Suddenly, all the wounds on her body started throbbing.
She wanted to cry. She wanted to sleep. She wanted to not feel anything, even if it was just for a few hours. Hell, maybe even a few minutes. She didn’t want to think about Monica, but her mind just refused to stop. She was curious as to why the woman was here, but part of her wanted to see Monica just so she could slap her silly and scream at her for ruining her perfect life. She got over everything that happened in college. She went on to an amazing successful career, well renowned in her field and making amazing money. She found her soul mate, she gave in and had kids, despite her feelings on the concept that she held most of her life. Why now?
Meanwhile, Callie was standing at the nurses’ station with a frown on her face. Her fingers played idly with the pitcher of water in her hands while her mind wandered over the past few days. Things were crazy in her life right now and the sudden appearance of Monica seemed to upset Arizona more than she was letting on, which worried her. She really wished Arizona hadn’t sent her out of her room, but at the same time, she knew that Arizona needed her space and she was glad to have a moment to regroup on her own as well. Arizona would talk to her when she was ready, Callie knew that from experience with her wife, but it didn’t stop her from feeling powerless and completely unable to help her wife. And to top everything off, Callie felt bad for the way she’d yelled at Nix, despite feeling fully vindicated regarding the situation. Yes, he never should have said anything about Monica, but he didn’t do it on purpose and he wasn’t looking to hurt anyone at all; he just wanted what was best for Arizona, much like Callie herself did.
“What’s wrong with you?” Callie looked up as a familiar voice came towards her only to be greeted by Cristina walking her way.
Callie sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She really didn’t need Cristina’s antics right now, but at one time, they were close friends and despite her rough exterior, maybe Cristina could listen and help her. So she decided to try and open up to Cristina, “Arizona has reverted to shutting me out. I thought we were passed all that in our relationship. We’ve had some rough times, but mostly amazing times since we learned how to communicate. I’ve never felt so close to anyone, so I can’t believe this. This woman showing up out of fucking nowhere has just sent her in a tailspin and all I want is to help her, but she won’t let me...” The words were rushed in a long ramble and a push of air from her lungs finished it off as she lowered her head so that her forehead dropped on the pitcher she was holding.
“I’m sure she’ll come around.” As Cristina spoke, she pulled a small compact mirror out of a purse and a tube of lipstick and then placed the purse on the counter. It was only then that Callie actually took in her friend’s appearance. Cristina was wearing a low cut little black dress with matching heels and she looked like she was ready for a night on the town. Cristina was fixing her lipstick as Callie let out a small whistle and grinned as Cristina glared at her.
“What’s with the dress? Is Owen taking you out or something? Because that dress… that is a fuck me dress.” Callie said as she raised her hand and lifted it up and down Cristina’s body with her words.
“Nope!” Cristina smacked her lips together and placed the cap back on her lipstick.
“Oh, then is it girls night with Meredith?” Callie raised a brow, curious as to why he friend is so dressed up.
“Nope!” She put the mirror and the lipstick back in her purse and got out some perfume spraying it all over herself.
Callie coughed as the overpowering scent reached her. “Then why are you dressed like that?”
Cristina winked at her before putting her perfume back in her purse, placing it under her arm. “Because I look good.” Only Cristina could make good sound like a bad word. “Watch and learn... watch and learn.” Cristina pushed her cleavage up and pulled her dress down a tiny bit to show off her chest even more, if that was possible. “I’m going to prove to blondie that I am an even better lesbian than she is.” That was all Cristina said before she walked straight for Arizona’s room. Callie’s eyes widened in both amusement and in horror. This was what Cristina meant by proving to Arizona that she’s hot? Callie was both torn about whether to run away and never speak of this to anyone or stay and watch the hilarity unfold. She chose the latter.
Cristina opened Arizona’s door and just stood in the doorway. She propped one hand up against the doorframe the other resting on her hip. She licked her lips and then spoke in the sultriest voice she could muster, “Well hello… Dr. Robbins.”
Arizona who had been lost in her thoughts glanced towards the door. “Yang,” she greeted with a nod of the head before turning away to confront the thoughts in her head again.
Cristina was determined to prove a point, so she soldiered on, “So, how are you feeling? Do you need relieving of any pain Dr. Robbins?”
Arizona raised her eyebrow toward Cristina, “I’m fine and since when do you call me Dr. Robbins?” Arizona briefly looked her up and down. “And why are you dressed like that? You look like you’re about to head out to a local street corner…”
Cristina shrugged her shoulders and walked into the room, slowly saying her hips while giving Arizona the biggest grin. Arizona suddenly felt a chill in the room. She felt a disturbance in the force while watching Cristina Yang stepping toward her while smiling like a perky happy person… It just might be the creepiest thing she’s ever seen in her life.
“Can’t a woman make herself look nice when she pays a random visit to see her ex-roommates lesbian wife?” Cristina winked at Arizona and walked closer towards her bed.
“Are you high?” Arizona jumped slightly and then winced in pain as Cristina released a slightly high pitch, very un-Cristina giggle.
“Why, Dr. Robbins, what a crazy accusation! I am just in a great mood because I got to come here and see you.” Cristina had lowered her voice and leaned forward so that she could tap Arizona on the end of her nose. Arizona gulped visibly and looked around the room, wondering where the cameras were hidden. She had no Idea what was going on, but she was kinda scared and really hoped that Meredith or Callie or even Mark had just put Cristina up to this. That, at least, might make a little sense.
Cristina opened her purse and pulled out her lipstick and in a very obvious way dropped it on the floor in front of her. She raised her hands in mock surprise and cried out, “Oops!” Then she released that giggle again; that scary giggle that made Arizona shiver slightly. Cristina turned around and began to bend down to retrieve her lipstick. It was obvious to Arizona, yet she was unsure why, Cristina was trying to be sexy. Only the dress she was wearing was making it very difficult for Cristina to bend down in any way, let alone in a sexy way and Arizona had to work very hard to stifle a laugh. She winced as her arm once again began to sear with pain. “Hey, Cristina, I think my wound is oozing. Would you mind cleaning it for me?”
Cristina shot up so quickly her breasts jiggled and her hair flopped up and then down again. She turned to look at Arizona with wide eyes and a look of horror on her face. “That is the most disgusting euphemism I have ever heard… which is saying something because I once dated a guy with a very disturbing fetish.”
“Euphemism? What are you talking about? It needs cleaning before it dries up and gets dirty, not to mention the amount of pain it’s causing,” Arizona frowned and glanced at her shoulder.
Cristina scrunched up her face in disgust just as Callie walked into the room. She turned to Callie and looked her up and down and then smacked her lips together before saying, “You make me sick.”
Callie was beyond confused. “What the heck is going on in here?”
“Your wife just sexually harassed me verbally,” Cristina pointed her finger at Arizona and then lowered her voice slightly so that only Callie could hear, “And in a rather disturbing way, might I add.” She then shifted her shoulders back and spoke at her normal voice, “She needs to be stopped; she’s like a sex fiend.” Callie turned to her wife and laughed, but stopped when she saw that the bandage on Arizona’s shoulder had a colored patch on it where her wound had obviously been perforated.
“Aww sweetie, does your wound need cleaning again?” Cristina made a sound of disgust as she looked between the two women.
“Shame on you two!” Cristina hissed, “You are mothers, my godchildren’s mothers and you’re in the hospital, for goodness sake!” Just as it seemed Cristina was about to leave in horror, Meredith appeared in the doorway.
“Cristina, I need to talk to you.” She said and then glanced at Callie and Arizona. She offered them a wave and then turned back to Cristina. “Why are you dressed like a hooker?”
“Oh thank god.” Cristina all but ran out the room, but not before Callie heard her telling Meredith that Arizona had tried to lure her into sex with her special lesbian playbook and to ignore how she was dressed.
“What is wrong with Yang and why was she hitting on me?” Callie laughed at the sincerity in Arizona’s voice.
“When you were a lot more out of it earlier, you were hitting on anything with boobs.” Arizona opened her mouth in shock and then put her head in her hands. “Well, except for Yang.”
“When you say hitting on them…” Arizona mumbled into her hands.
Callie stepped toward her wife, crossing her arms over her chest as she got closer, “Oh, let’s see, you grabbed Lexie’s ass, which then lead to you high fiving Mark. And then you had a discussion about who has the better boobs, me or Lexie. Oh! And you totally told Addie and Bailey that you wanted us all to have a foursome.”
Arizona’s head shot up and her face was giving Callie a look of pure horror. “You’re kidding, right? Please tell me you’re kidding, Calliope?” Callie just shook her head with a chuckle and Arizona groaned as her head fell back against her pillows.
“I’m just going to go get a nurse to come and change your dressing.” Callie walked out of the room, leaving Arizona alone with her horrifying thoughts. Had she really done all that? Arizona made a mental note, no visitors when she was on drugs except for Callie.
A nurse walked into her room and began to examine and clean her wound. Arizona sat there in silence as her mind wandered back to her original thoughts before Cristina had come in. Monica. Wow. She hadn’t really thought about Monica in years until this whole mess occurred. Why couldn’t she let sleeping dogs lie? Why was she here? Why now? And what could she possibly want from her or say to her? Arizona knew in her heart that she had made the decision the second Callie had confirmed what Nix had blurted out. She just didn’t know how Callie would react. Callie or Mark or Nix, for that matter, but sometimes, even when you’re not looking for it, your past can come back to haunt you. Arizona needed to close that chapter of her life, or it could just come back and bite her on the ass again. She couldn’t let that happen. Not now that she was married and had four beautiful babies.
The nurse left and Callie cautiously entered the room and sat down next to Arizona, as close as she possibly could. She put the water she had gotten for her wife on the table next to her bed. The two looked at one another and for a minute the two women just sat in silence until finally Arizona broke it.
“Calliope, I want to talk to Monica.”
