/Rework 2.0


Over the years, there have been many cases of doctors betraying the trust of their patients. Doctors making their patients 'sicker' on paper to move them up on the donor list. A betrayal to all the donors and everyone who is waiting for an organ.

Doctors abusing patients in a coma or during anesthesia. Unnecessary surgeries and procedures to make a some extra money on the side for that next expensive car.

The patients who seek out a Doctor for help will trust them with the most valuable thing they have to offer in this world; their body and health. They trust them to take the utmost best care possible of them.

But in the end... Doctors are only humans and humans are flawed.

This Story is inspired by those cases, but purely fictional!


Somewhere in Seattle – 8:00 am


Arizona Robbins always took pride in the fact that she was an advocate for her patients, but not so much pride in her weaknesses.

There had been many weak moments in the years she had been working in GSMH. One of her worst moments as a wife was that night during the storm that had destroyed her marriage and had robbed Sofia of an intact family.

Sometimes when she couldn't sleep, she would think about that storm that fateful night and feel ashamed about it. She would go through every detail asking herself; 'What the hell were you thinking?!' But her question was always met with silence. She didn't know what had possessed her that night, since she had never planned on it to happen.

The thought of Laurel Boswell repulsed her now.

But it had happened and she would always regret it.

In the end she would bitterly accept that this one moment was on her, but that this one moment hadn't been their only problem.

At some point during their marriage they had stopped communicated. Sometimes she asked herself, if they had ever communicated at all.

That one night was on her, she knew that. But it wasn't her sole responsibility that Sofia now, had to spend any other day at two different apartments.

Was Callie thinking about this as well? She wondered sometimes. Was it only her that was missing her ex? Probably. Callie had Penny now. Although Penny had brought on a storm of her own, Callie didn't seem to want to break up with her any time soon.

Arizona turned in her bed and looked at the time. She still had two hours until she needed to be at the hospital. Uncle Alex had removed Sofia's tonsils and today was her last check-up.

It was one of those moments they still had together as a family, when Callie and herself would try to cheer Sofia up with Ice Cream.

A deep breath escaped her lips and she quickly wiped away that one tiny tear of nostalgia that threaten to escape her eye.

She wondered if someday, it would stop hurting and finally be okay.


GSMH - 10.00 am


The three of them met at the Coffee cart. Sofia didn't look happy at all, but Callie was smiling at her.

"Look Sofia. Mama is coming!"

Sofia was holding Callie's hand, but immediately reached for Arizona's beige coat and laid her head on Arizona's stomach as soon as her other mother stood in front of her.

Arizona raised an eyebrow, silently asking Callie, what was going on. With her right hand she started to caress Sofia's hair gently.

Callie bit her lips and narrowed her eyes, a clear sign that Sofia had a temper tantrum this morning.

"Sofia doesn't want to see Uncle Alex today for her check-up.", explained Callie in a soft tone, since she didn't want to provoke another tantrum.

Arizona understood immediately. When it came to her marriage both of them had been lost, but thanks to small miracles, when it came to Sofia, they were a perfect team.

Arizona nodded and then turned to Sofia.

"Why honey? You love your Uncle Alex. He will just take a quick look and then we can go and eat Ice Cream!"

Sofia looked up at her blond mother. They had told her that the surgery was necessary and that she could eat as much Ice Cream as she wanted. But now, after the surgery, she didn't want anyone near her throat again.

"Mama? Why can't you look at it?" she asked with her soft voice. "You're a kids doctor, too."

Arizona cleared her throat a little. Callie had let go of Sofia's hand and was ordering coffee for them.

The child embraced her mother now with both hands.

"Yeah, but you know... I help now tiny humans that are still in their mommy's stomach." Sofia looked at her suspiciously, the same look Callie had, when she didn't really know, if she should believe anything that was being said.

"You are a big girl now. Aren't you honey?"

An argument that had been going on for months now. After Sofia had started school, she was on a mission to prove to everyone that she was a big girl now.

Her mothers were proud that their daughter was becoming more and more independent, but also a little bit sad. Their little girl was growing up.

"Okay." she said with defeat in her voice and buried her face in her mother's coat. Callie joined them with two cups of coffee, visibly relieved that the 'good cop' had won this argument.

"Alex said, he will be ready for us in an hour. He had some kind of emergency. And I got you coffee."

Arizona took thankfully the coffee, but also felt a bit annoyed.

"He better not have an on-call emergency with Jo, when my daughter is having a check-up."

Callie snorted and took a sip from her cup.

"Did Uncle Alex remove Jo's tonsils, too?"

Arizona wanted to kick herself, no innuendos in front of the child! She heard Callie snicker behind her as they moved towards the elevator.

"No, honey. Mama is just being silly."


Pediatric Unit - 10:10 am


As they made their way through the pediatric floor to sit down in the waiting area, they heard a voice behind them.

"Dr. Robbins! I was looking for you!" The middle aged woman knew Arizona well. She had dirty blond hair that was pulled back into a pony tail.

She had some extra pounds on her hips with a round and friendly face. There had never been a day that Arizona can remember, that Monica didn't smile.

It was infectious and it reminded her so much of her mother.

The older nurse was always busy and made sure that Alex and Arizona knew what was going on in the department.

"There is a gentleman waiting for you in conference room 3. He came early this morning and I told him that you were busy! But he insisted to wait, until you found some time for him. He said it was urgent."

She had extra cleared her schedule to be there for Sofia's check-up. She suddenly felt a little bit irritated.

After she had finished her residency with Hermann and word got around how talented she was, there was suddenly always an emergency around every corner.

"Thank you Monica, but I don't have time. Sofia's check-up is in an hour. Just tell this man that he should make an appointment like everybody else and I will contact him."

Arizona wanted to turn around and leave, when she was stopped again.

"I know Dr. Robbins, but he told me, he would also wait until your shift is over tonight. I think it is really urgent."

Callie had sat down with Sofia and was observing the exchange silently. She had noticed how tight Arizona's schedule had become ever since she got her second specialty.

Sometimes she would see Arizona sitting in the attending lounge with her eyes closed, because of the insane times she would sometimes spend at the hospital.

"Look, it's fine. We will just sit here and wait. Just tell this guy that you have an important appointment. Right Sofia?", said Callie understandingly.

"Fine." Arizona was thankful. She hated to choose between 'Sofia time' and her work sometimes, but she also felt that her work was very important.

He probably just wanted to talk about his wife and ask her to look at her case. A desperate father, who just wanting to talk to a doctor. She would make it clear that this wasn't how this hospital worked.


Conference Room 3 - 10:20 am


She didn't even bother to knock at the door and just walked into the room. The man was sitting in a chair and playing with his smart-phone. He stood up as he saw her.

Except for the tie with the most horrible design she had ever seen, he was neatly dressed in a dark blue suit. He looked sharp.

"Hi. you must be Dr. Arizona Robbins. I'm glad you found the time to talk to me." They shook hands. He must have noticed Arizona look that was directed at his tie.

"Well, I couldn't find a better one this morning. My 1 year old son has the flu and all the good ties were in his line of fire."

He tried to be funny and ease the mood, but now Arizona felt confused.

"Well, unless your wife is pregnant with another baby, I'm not sure how I can help you. I'm a neonatal surgeon. Mr.?"

He smiled and looked for something in his pocket. Then he held up a police badge. "Detective Vega. I know you are a busy woman, but like I told the nurse, this is an urgent matter and I have to talk to you."

Arizona's confusion grew. "Detective. I'm always trying to cooperate with the authorities, but my daughter has an appointment shortly. So could you please tell me what's going on, I would like to go back to her."

She tried to remain calm, but she was slowly getting nervous.

"Please Dr. Robbins, have a seat. I will try to make this as short and possible. I would have made an appointment, but what I have to tell you can't wait. I'm sure once I'm done explaining myself, you will appreciate it."

Arizona took a deep breath and sat down.

"Then please, tell me what's going on. You're making me a little nervous here."

He sat down in the same chair he had been using before, folded his hands on the table and talked with a very calm voice.

He was prepared. This was one unusual case and he had asked his colleagues what he should tell them. He was about to inflict so much pain on them... but he didn't want to wait until this case would hit the news tonight. That would be an even greater shock. So he had come early to talk to all of them. One by one.

Or at least to all of the patients who still lived in Seattle.

As the Detective finished explaining the circumstances of his arrival, all Arizona could do was stare into space.

She could no longer hear what else he had to say, she just took his card.

Before he left, he touched her shoulder in sympathy.

"I know this is a lot to take in Doctor. Please call me, if you feel the need to talk. You can call this number any time. I will be in contact with you, as soon as there is any news. I'm really sorry."


/ I'm just pissed that there is still no Calzona reunion. So I make my own version now. All mistakes are mine.
