Author's Note: I do not own any of the characters. I may how ever create my own characters. This is my first story so please be nice. This story is mainly Calzona centric but may highlight some Slexie. The story will be narrator POV.
Chapter 1
It had been a hard week for the surgeons at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. There had been a horrendous accident and six of their colleagues were involved. Everyone's world was being altered in an unimaginable way. Some effects which were still unknown.
For the past week the halls of the hospital were alive with the buzz of gossip. Few people knew exactly what had happened. The only thing everyone knew to be true was that Dr. Shepherd, Dr. Grey (Meredith), Dr. Yang, Dr. Robbins, Dr. Sloan, and Dr. Grey (Little Grey) were on their way to Boise to help separate conjoined twins when their plane crashed, leaving the six surgeons injured and stranded for almost 5 days.
Callie Torres looks into her wife's room and takes a deep breath before walking in. The smaller of the two women looks up when she hears the door to her room open. Piercing blue eyes meet warm chocolate brown ones and they both smile at the sight of each other. A tray of food is set on the blond's lap before Callie returns to the chair that she had been occupying for the last week. A fair skinned handed is taken by a soft caramel one and a reassuring squeeze is exchanged.
"Hey." Callie whispers softly, her voice hoarse from lack of use. "How are you feeling?" Arizona's eyes flicker to her left leg then meets Callie's.
"Fine."
"And the pain?"
"Manageable." Callie looks at her wife, her heart aching to help bear Arizona's pain. Another reassuring squeeze is given by Callie. She takes a deep breathe and finally says what she knows to be on both their minds.
"Sweetheart. I know the medication isn't working like we were hoping but give it some time. You aren't going to lose your leg." Arizona looks up her wife, he eyes big and fearful.
"Promise? Promise me you won't let them take my leg." Her voice is small and shakes ever so slightly as she speaks.
"I promise." Callie leans forward and kisses Arizona's forehead, letting her lips rest there for a moment. "I love you." Callie states, barely above a whisper, unsure if her partner heard her.
"I love you too." Came the soft reply. Arizona reaches up with her free hand and gently strokes her wife's cheek. After a long moment of silence Arizona speaks. "How's Sofia?" She hopes her question will lighten the mood and distract her wife for a bit. Callie can't help but smile when she thinks of her daughter. Their daughter.
"She's doing really well." The smile lighting up Callie's face soon fades. "She really misses you. Every night before bed she asks when she gets to see you. I'm running out of ways to fend her off."
The couple had decided to keep their daughter in the dark about Arizona's injuries. In fact, Callie hadn't told her daughter about the accident that her father and one of her mother's had been in. Neither of them had any idea how to explain the situation to their two year old daughter and decided that for now they were not going to say anything.
"I miss her too." She looks up at her wife and smiles sadly. "Tell her I love her and that I wish I could see her." Callie nods but before she can speak Alex walks in.
"I'm here to talk you through the surgery." Arizona looks up horrified.
"I thought we agreed to give the medication until the end of this week." Alex looks between the two wives, a solemn look on his face.
"That was the original plan but the scans and tests that we took yesterday show that the infection has spread." He points to Arizona's left leg. "We agreed that if the infection crossed this line we would have to have the surgery earlier." Arizona looked down at her leg, something she took great care not to do. What appeared to be a red rash on Arizona's left leg had grown and was now almost quarter of an inch above the line Alex had marked the day before. Callie saw the fear and horror in her wife's face and looked at Alex.
"When's the surgery?"
"This afternoon."
