The writing is amazing, so much raw emotion there. It totally breaks my heart to feel what AZ is feeling.

I have to sa the ending kinda surprised me, I'd imagined AZ will walk out from this situation.

Mmm. I don't think Arizona is the type to walk out, she does like to ignore issue to keep things happy but she never walked away. At least not until Africa & I think Arizona would make sure as to not do that again b/c at the end of the day she still loves Callie. Anyway, enough of my babbling. Thanks for reading & I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Wow, beebs…just…wow! That was really intense. FINALLY someone captured what I really think Arizona is feeling. As a viewer, I am beyond pissed at Callie's self-centered attitude lately. It's like EVERYTHING is about her, and Arizona is invisible. And reading this just made me even more angry…grrr. :) I would love to see Arizona stand up for herself like this on the show. I suppose the couch scene was a start, but I hate that Callie expects her to just shut up and get with the program. I feel like she has yet to consider Arizona's feelings in this situation. She's been far too busy fawning over Mark's behavior. It's not really about the baby, it's not really about Mark, it's about Callie's complete lack of respect and failure to acknowledge Arizona's feelings. And you expressed every bit of that remarkably well in this fic. Oh…and Callie giving Mark a key?? Arizona is better than I am because I nearly lost it when that came up

BEEBS! I have to admit that when I was writing all of that part I was thinking of you! I know how frustrated you've been lately so I tried to get all of that in. I'm so gla you loved it BEEBS, just about made my day.

Oh, you know me, gotta shove a little humor in there somewhere :D. I love you beebs! You're the besets! Thanks for reading!

OMG I loved how you portrayed Arizona's feelings. Ever since I found out that Mark and Callie are going to have a baby I was kind of mad because they are doctors who should know by now protection. Also how Arizona's feelings have not been considered on the show. She just has to accept Callie and her baby and the three some that is now created. I know callie and arizona were totally broken up but makes me think how az was right when she said to callie about how easily she falls in love in the season 6 finale. and when you wrote "Arizona would have told Callie that she was hurt because Callie had felt physically ready to cheat on her-and okay, maybe they weren’t together at the time, but in Arizona’s head it still counted-when Arizona hadn’t even felt emotionally ready to look at another woman." I hope that callie soon realizes that az is making some huge sacrifices to be with callie and not when its too late and sees how she is losing az cuz she is taking her for granted cuz i know that if it was a man he would have not wanted to be

All of this! Everything you said I completely concur with. I totally agree with all of it. I just don't understand the slaughtering they're doing to Callie's character but I hope it all ends well...because I'm a sucker for happy endings!

Thanks for reading and for commenting :).

Wow, so raw with emotion..and as I was reading, i envisioned the many emotions playing across Arizona's face! Ahh, oh how my heart breaks b/c I can totally relate to Arizona. Being expected to just accept a bad situation at the expense of your own dignity and integrity. I mean, Callie is so self-indulgent that her complete dismissal of Arizona's feelings is just f***ing flabbergasting to me!! Calzona are truly MFEO, but the writers are not consistent with this notion. Kudos for so eloquently depicting Arizona's feelings on this whole disgraceful situation.

Arizona deserves to be canonized as a Saint. hahaha. I'm just saying. :D

I love how you described the rawness of the circumstances surrounding the trio. I love the struggle that Arizona was in - made me wanna hug her tight and tell her that everything's gonna be all right. can't say that Sofia's arrival will make things okay, but Sofia is the light at the end of the tunnel. it would have made me happier, though, if Arizona got one more good slug against Mark's face for his intrusiveness. the verbal lashing with Callie was excellent, and i would have loved to have more of that, but I understand that Callie is pregnant and as much as Arizona's angry with her, she still loves her and cares for her to really lay out all her issues in a screaming match.

that being said, can I entice you for another chapter? I just really love your writing style and in depth characterization of Arizona. :D
