Seeing Double
Epilogue
Arizona Robbins was pissed. Despite the flight to Boise, as well as the twin's surgery having gone as smoothly as it could have been expected, she was mad, really mad.
She was on her way home to her wife and their sweet baby girl but all she could think about was how Karev had betrayed her. Part of her understood why he had done it, why he had chosen Hopkins over Seattle. Hell, she had gone there and it was in fact, the greatest Pediatrics program in the country, maybe the world, but the other part, the biggest part of her, wanted to hit the guy with a shitload of bricks. In a way, her protégé had managed to fill a bit of the void left in her soul by her brother's death. Her sweet, caring and brave brother Timothy Daniel Robbins. Her baby brother by 5 minutes, or an eternity, according to their mother. Tim would never be replaced, she knew that, but Alex made it easier to forget, even if just for a little while, the pain of living without the presence of her twin.
At that moment, however, all Arizona wanted was to forget. She just wanted to kiss her little girl's forehead and sleep in her wife's arms. Her wife… Calliope is her wife. Granted, it had been over a year since they had said 'I do' but every time Arizona remembered she has a wife and a daughter, her heart would fill with joy. That's why that night she was going to forget about Karev and simply enjoy her wife's warmth.
The blond still had on her navy blue scrubs. Going to the hospital to change was not an option. Not because of the chance of running into Karev, albeit that was a factor she had considered, but because of her need to be with her family. Unlocking the front door, Arizona entered tip toed her way into their apartment and was welcomed by silence and darkness. She was disappointed that none of he girls was up waiting for her but noting the wall clock on the kitchen, the thought left her mind as soon as it had come.
Deciding to check on Sophia, she walked quietly in order no to disturb the baby's slumber. The small lilac room was lit by a warm single night light shaped as a star. Years ago, that lamp had been Arizona's. Every since she could remember, she had liked stars. Timothy taught her everything she knew about stargazing and constellations. On their 18th birthday, Tim gave his sister, together with the night light, an envelope containing the certificate to a newly named star… Her star.
"In the future, when someone asks you your name you can tell them this: My name is Arizona, just like the star".
Her eyes watered slightly with the memory of her brother's sweet words. Rubbing the still unshed tears from her eyes, she closed her daughter's bedroom door with a soft click.
As she approached the master bedroom, a faint strip of light could be seen emanating from under the door that had been left ajar. Not knowing whether Callie was asleep, Robbins opened the door without uttering a word of greeting. Her wife laid there, sprawled across the bed, wearing the sexiest lingerie Arizona had ever seen. The blue eyed doctor gave a silent chuckle as she watched a bit of drool coming out of the corner of her wife's mouth. After covering the brunette with a blanket that laid by the foot of the bed, Arizona took a hot shower and went straight to bed, not bothering to pick up the dirty scrubs from the bathroom floor. She then slept soundly, cradled by the sweet smell of her wife's skin.
He had to get out of there. He kept telling every one he hadn't done anything wrong; he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He might not have money to spare but he in no way robbed any store. His poor mama would come out of her grave to hunt him had he done anything illegal. Yet, he was arrested for armed robbery and murder. All he'd been able to gather was that a man with appearance fitting his, tall, blonde hair and blue eyes, had robbed a convenience store killing the cashier in the process. He'd had the unfortunate luck of walking three blocks away from the crime scene minutes after the event had taken place and was spotted by a police cruise speeding towards the store. He was read his Miranda Rights and shoved onto the back seat of the police car. To make matters even worse, the convenience store was known for having a number of Seattle PD personnel as patrons, which turned the case personal to many of them.
Now, two days after the incident, he was still in jail. He hadn't been given his phone call and no one had paid attention to his pleas of innocence. The cops also hadn't given a damn about the fact that the gang locked up on the cell across form his kept yelling that a pretty boy like him would be really popular at the big house. As Casey Parker watched the last beans of light from the Sun bathe his tiny cell, the only thing he had in mind was getting out of there. Fast.
