Hey guys, thanks for all your comments on my one, who do you picture. I loved all the responses so I decided to write a new story based on 12x16.

Hope you enjoy

"Hey Bailey can I have a quick word with you?" Arizona asked while popping her head through the Chiefs door

"Make it quick Robbins, and it better not be more personal stuff, I don't do personal" Bailey stated while not looking up from the papers she was working on. The blonde walked in and shut the door, making her way to the desk

"It's not, I was just wondering if you would be ok with me taking a couple of weeks off?" Bailey look up straight away, finally taking in the appearance of the woman before her, she looked tired, too tired, even for a dual certified surgeon, a wave of empathy immediately hit the darker woman

"Is everything ok Arizona?" the blonde couldn't help to start feeling the tears well behind her eyes, she just nodded trying to push them back

"Yep, great, fantastic, awesome" the blonde new Bailey didn't believe her, but was hoping she'd give her an out, but unfortunately that wouldn't be happening, Bailey stood, walking over to the couch making a gesture for her to follow

"Tell me what's wrong, I know we're not super close but I did officiate your wedding and you were one of my bridesmaids. I also know I'm your Chief but right now I'm your friend" she put a comforting hand on Arizona's shoulder, in that moment the dam broke and tears fell from bright blue eyes

"I've been screwing everything up lately and I just need some time off. Since I've become a Neonatal surgeon I've hardly had time to breathe, either I'm doing those surgeries or I'm doing Peds surgery. I haven't taken any time off in the last 2 years. The anniversary of my brother's death is coming up and I thought I should really go see my parents, I've been to see them once or twice since the divorce" the tears had slowed but her tone was still sad

"Your parents got divorced?" asked Bailey, surprised because she had met them a few times and could see how even after 35 years were still happily in love

"No, my divorce. They love Callie and were very disappointed when it didn't work out, I know they blame me. I went down there the day after I signed the papers, sat them down and told them everything that had happened since the plane crash, the look in their eyes, I could tell I'm not the good man in a storm they raised. They eventually accepted it, but I still see the look or hear it in their tone of voice when mentioning Callie" she said quietly while pulling some papers out of her bag
"I wrote up my surgeries that will need to be assigned to another surgeon, I've only got two moms coming in but it's not life threatening and it will be fine for them to wait the two weeks I'm gone and if not I'll fly back straight away. I think this time away will do me good, everything with April is shit, so maybe while I'm gone she can have some time, without me around she'll have breathing space. Maybe, eventually, she'll forgive me" she smiles sadly at Bailey, then goes back to the paper
"I've filled in all the paperwork you gave me last week, you know, head of a department stuff. I talked a little with Karev earlier and he said he'd be happy to keep an eye on things when he can and will keep me updated in case anything that needs my immediate attention comes in. So I've got everything organised, just need your go ahead and I'll call my two patients and push them back to when I return"

"Well it seems as if you've done all my work for me" Bailey laughs "sure Robbins, have the time off. When do you want to go?"

"Would tomorrow be too soon? I've got to see my prosthesis and get a new leg, he got a new model that he wants me to try so I'm getting it moulded in the morning, and he said it should be ready by Thursday, I'll do PT Friday to get used to it and I want to be on the road Saturday"

"Sounds good. Are you going to take Sofia to your parents?" the darker woman asked, the professional stuff over with

"No, she's got school. Plus she's got a new BFF in Penny now so I don't think she'd even want to go" the blonde couldn't help the jealousy that made its presence

"So Callie finally introduced them" Bailey wondered out loud

"Yep. Thanks to you apparently. She dropped Sof off the morning after, going on and on about how much fun they had getting ice cream, how you mentioned who she saw in the future standing next to her. That's another reason I need to get away, I can't be around listening to my two loves go on about how their loving and having fun with someone else" she stood, packing up her stuff, not wanting to get into this, now that she's got her time off she's got stuff that needs to be done

"Your two loves? You still love Callie?" the shorter woman was shocked, how did she not see this? If she did she'd never push Callie to Penny, as much as she hated to admit it, she was a Calzona shipper

"Of course I do. But Callie's happiness is all that matters. I may be able to move on and find someone new, settle down, maybe not grow old with 5 cats but she'll always be the love of my life. I've taken these two years to figure out who I am after the plane crash, after losing my leg and after losing my wife and in all that time I never stopped loving her, but when I look at her now I see the woman before all that happened, she may have walked out of that therapists office wanting to set me free and she did that but I also see that she needed it too, she's free now, she's flying and happy and that's all I can ever have hoped for. Penny makes her happy and now Penny also makes Sofia happy, so I'm taking these two weeks to get used to the fact that they are a family now." She picked up her bag and wiped the tears from her eyes
"Thanks for the time off, I've got mothers to reschedule, my parents to call and let them know I'm coming for a visit, updating Alex on patients, maybe try and apologise to April again and then talk to Callie about going because next week was my week with Sofia." She walked to the door and pulled it open before turning her head "thanks for the talk Miranda, you say you don't do personal but I think you do it pretty well" she smiled before walking out the door, leaving a shocked Chief of surgery sitting on her couch thinking she had inadvertently made a mistake by pushing Callie towards Penny.
