"Hey Callie, do you mind if I pick up Sofia an hour later tonight?" Arizona says as she approached her ex-wife who was standing at the nurse's station updating her patient charts.

"Yeah that's fine." Callie responded as if distracted.

"Okay good, it's just I haven't been home for a few days and I need to pick up some groceries, I wanted to get everything sorted before I picked up Sofia."

"Yeah I understand, I will make sure she has everything ready for when you get there."

"Okay, thank you so much." Arizona smiled before walking away.

Callie watched her walk away for several seconds before returning her attention back to her charts, she was once again interrupted by her current girlfriend, Penny.

"Hey I was wondering if we are still on for date night?" Penny asked excitedly.

"Yeah we are but slight change of plan, Arizona will be picking Sofia up at eight rather than seven now so I thought I could cook you dinner at my apartment instead of going out?"

"Sure, that would probably better anyway, Dr Grey has me running around like an intern again so im exhausted!" Penny informs "Would you like me to bring anything?"

"Nope, just yourself will be fine." Callie answered with a strained smile.

"Okay." Penny says as she leans over to give her girlfriend a goodbye kiss.

Penny then leaves to catch up with Meredith. Callie then watches her walk away but not with the same longing feeling she had when she watched the blonde headed women walk away from her.

Callie and Penny have been dating for a few months now and while she enjoyed her company she still hasn't felt that spark with Penny as she had with Arizona, Callie believes that with more time she could see herself falling in love with the red headed woman but at the minute she doesn't feel that constant need to be with her. Maybe it's just because what she had with Arizona was so special and rare that she now has too high expectations of what attraction and love is supposed to feel like, or maybe Penny just isn't the right person for her. God she hopes that isn't true. She is just so not ready to start dating… again.

Being broke out of her thoughts by her pager, she closes the chart and hands it to a nearby nurse then heads off to the ER.

"Dr Grey, just the person I was looking for." Arizona exclaims as she runs up to Meredith who is looking at one of her patients scans.

"What can I do for you?" The taller blonde responds without looking away from the scans in front of her.

"I was wondering if you were free tomorrow? I was thinking of taking Sofia to the zoo and wanted to know if you and the kids wanted to join?" Arizona asked in a hurry as her shift as just ended and she needed to get to the store. She was also eager to spend time with her daughter.

"Yeah, that sounds great. I'm sure the kids with love to spend some time together outside of day-care." The general surgeon says still not taking her eyes of the screen.

"Okay, Well I'll see you tomorrow then." Arizona said with a smile.

Once Arizona had left the exam room she made her way to the changing room to change out of her scrubs, she is just about to turn a corner when she almost bumps into someone, that someone who just had to be her ex-wife's new girlfriend, what are the odds she thinks to herself. Even though the blonde is glad her ex has finally found someone who made her happy, she will always be saddened by the fact that she is no longer that person for Callie. To her Callie will always be her true love, the one you tell your grandchildren that make then believe in fairy tales and happy ever afters.

After hearing an apology from the resident who is clearly in a rush and clearly not paying attention to who she had just bumped into, the attending just smiles politely and continues on her way out of the hospital.

Arriving at the store thirty minutes after she left, she looks down at her watch and realises she only has an hour to get all her shopping done before she has to pick up Sofia.

Making her way down the alcohol aisle she is looking at the wine selections when she hears her name being called.

"Arizona?" Looking up and trying to find where unfamiliar voice is coming from she looks to her left and sees Penny standing there with a champagne bottle in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.

"Penny… Hey?" Arizona says unsure of what else to say.

"Hey, I see you walking and thought it would be rude if I didn't at least come and say hi." Penny replies looking rather unsure of herself.

"Oh well… Hi, what are you doing here?" Arizona says trying to create a conversation so it isn't as awkward.

"Well actually…" she looks around unsure how to answer the question. "I'm just picking up some stuff for Callie… its date night." The red head looks at the ground before looking at Arizona to gauge her response.

Even though the blonde knows Callie and Penny are together she can't help but feel a little wounded whenever she hears about them spending time together. Gathering her emotions she simply smiles at Penny before responding with a knowing nod of her head. She then turns to the wine she was originally looking at and puts it in the basket with the rest of her stuff.

Turning her attention back to the red head she asks her is she is done with her shopping and they walk towards the cashier together.

Walking through the front door of her brand new apartment with Sofia holding her hand, she puts her bag on the couch and politely instructs Sofia to go get her stuff ready for when her momma comes to collect her. After watching Sofia walk to her bedroom, Callie makes her way in to her kitchen, grabs a glass from the cupboard and pours herself a nice refreshing glass of red wine. As she sits down on one of her brand new silver bar stools, she lays her head in her folded arms until she hears the tiny sound of small feet entering the living area. Watching her mini me put her backpack onto the couch next he discarded bag, she smiles genuinely for the first time in weeks thinking about how much love she has for her daughter.

"Mommy, can I watch cartoons whilst I wait please?" The well-mannered five year old asks.

"Of course you can sweetie." Callie replies as she gets up off the stool and looks for the ingredients for dinner.

Sofia then excitedly turns on the television and jumps onto the couch.

"So…" Arizona clears her throat "How are things going at the hospital?" she ask genuinely.

"Not too bad actually, ever since Callie spoke to Dr Grey about equal treatment of residents things have be going a lot better."

Arizona can't help but smile at the thought of Callie going into her protective mode, one thing she always loved about the Latina was how fiercely she protected the things she loved. Loved… Wow did she really think Callie loved Penny? Just thinking about it made her feel sick to her stomach.

Realising the Penny was now being served by the cashier, Arizona stared to unload her items onto the conveyer belt. Picking up the last item from the basket she was about to put it with the others when she heard a shocked scream from some somewhere in front of her. Looking up to see what the commotion is about she see an average height, middle aged man standing in front of the check out counter with a medium sized kitchen knife directed at the cashier. Pulling Penny toward her and away from the man with the weapon, she can feel her heart beating ten times faster than it should. Realising how serious this is, she watches in shock as the scene unfolds in front of her.

"Put the money in the bag and no one gets hurt, it's as simple as that." The man wielding the weapon says.

The petrified teenaged boy behind the counter obeys the order and puts all the money from the cash register into the dirty and old plastic bag whilst the few customers look on in fear.

The man with the knife who is clearly on edge and obviously in a hurry counts out the cash in the bag.

"No… That not enough, I need more than this." The man yells whilst shaking.

"I'm so sorry sir but that's all that I can give you…" the young boy says nearly in tears.

Arizona stands there holding a terrified Penny to her chest she is just as scared but doesn't show it. She has been hoping the man would just take the money and go but that doesn't seem to be the case.

"No, you're lying!" the man says almost in hysterics. "I need more… I need…" The attacker breathes out as he starts looking around.

"We are only allowed to keep a certain amount of money in each register at one time. I can't access the other ones without a key." The teenager raises his voice in panic.

The man in desperation grabbed the nearest person to him, which happened to be the terrified red head in Arizona's arms and dragged her to his chest holding the kitchen knife to her neck.

"No, please!" Penny shouted reaching for the blonde.

Arizona approached the two with her hands in the air, as she tries to calm the erratic man down.

"Hey… let her go." Arizona said cautiously.

"STAY BACK!" The man shouted holding the knife closer to the red heads pale neck.

"Okay... Okay." Arizona takes a small step back and looks straight into Penny's eyes trying to communicate what she needs her to do.

Penny understanding exactly what Arizona was asking as she pushes the arm away from her neck with all her might and dives to the floor. As she dives she hits her head on the corner of the counter and turns her head just in time to see Arizona dive at the attacker.

Callie who is putting the last of the dinner onto the kitchen table, turns to look at the clock for the tenth time in the last 30 minutes. Not only was Arizona just under an hour late but Penny was also late. Walking over to her phone to see if she had messages from either of the two women but also to confirm the time.

8.57 Great, Just great...

Looking over at Sofia who is becoming very impatient as she is very much looking forward to spending the weekend with her blonde mother. Callie scrolls through her phone until she lands on the correct contact.

Calling Arizona…

After trying a failing at getting through to Arizona she then tries Penny's number.

Again no answer.

"That's strange." She mutters to herself.

Putting the phone down she is about to walk over to the kitchen when her phone suddenly starts to ring. Picking up the phone without checking the caller ID, she is expecting it to be Arizona explaining why she is late or Penny calling for the same reason.

"Hello… Hunt? Oh my god is she okay? Yeah… Okay I'm on my way."

"SOFIA…"
