Arizona Robbins was tired, it was 1:30am, she had spend a 48 hour shift with no sleep at the hospital, she had finally been able to get away from work and she was currently fumbling with the keys to Callie's and her apartment door. She squinted in the dark trying to find the right key. "This is just super" mumbled Arizona as she gave up on the key search and leant her forehead on the door, only to have to blue door fling open, she stumbled, tripped over the threshold and fall into someone.
"Arizona?"
"Calliope... I...I was just coming in side" Yawned Arizona as she held tightly onto Callie's pj top trying to steady herself. "I'm sooo sleepy" the blonde giggled as she closed her eyes, resting her head on the brunette's shoulder.
"I missed you" smiled Callie as she kissed her girlfriend. "Arizona, why are you still in your scrubs?" questioned Callie as she led Arizona to their bedroom.
"I am?.." she looked down at her attire " oh i am" smiled Arizona sleepily as she stumbled and landed on the bed. "I just, I just wanted to get home, to you Calliope" She yawned again and rested her head on her pink pillow.
"Hey Arizona you can't fall asleep yet, you, you can't sleep in your scrubs, here let me help you". But Arizona had already fallen asleep.
The brunette sighed as she then proceeded to get her girlfriend changed without waking her up. She was exhausted after all.
Arizona jolted awake; her pager was going off again. She fumbled around looking for it on the nightstand. 911. The blonde groaned.
"Calliope, Calliope" whispered Arizona. "Calliope, I have to go back to the hospital".
"Arizona..." Callie sat up and looked at her girlfriend who was slowly getting out of bed. She still looked very tired, her eyes were bloodshot and her actions were laboured. "Arizona... please be careful tonight, don't push yourself, you are only human after all." Said Callie, concerned.
"Hey I'll be ok, I have to go same some tiny humans" came Arizona's sleepy voice as she sat down next to Callie. "I'll see you at work later on" she kissed the brunette and left.
Callie had only just fallen back asleep when her pager went off. "Leave me alone" mumbled Callie and she too got up and left for the hospital.
"You paged me?" said Callie to Mark as she made her way out into the ambulance bay.
"Took your time Torres" grinned Mark
"What have we got?"
"There was a pile up on the highway; we've got two ambulances coming".
Sirens in the distant became close as the first ambulance skidded to a halt in front of the ER doors.
"What have we got?" questioned Callie
"Female, crash victim, conscious, multiple broken bones including, broken leg, arm, possible three cracked ribs and a head injury". The paramedic pulled the gurney out of the Ambulance as Callie rushed over.
" C..Calliop...e?"
"No! No Arizona!" screamed Callie, "Get out of my way, move!" said Callie to the Paramedics.
"Calliopie..."
"Arizona, I'm here, I'm here it's ok" whispered Callie as she took hold of her girlfriends hand.
"Don't...don't be mad Calliope...please I'm sorry, I...I think I feel asleep"
"It's alright Arizona; you hang in there, I'm here". Said Callie as tears formed in her eyes.
