SO I keep telling myself not to start another story, but I can't help myself! Hope you enjoy this story! Let me know what you think!

Four year old Elaina Torres-O'Malley sat behind the nurses' station waiting for her parents. George and Callie were currently in an on call room, fighting loudly. It was not unusual for them to fight at the hospital and most everyone was used to it. Today they were fighting extra loudly though and Elaina could hear them clearly at the nurses' station. She tried to ignore them, but it was hard for the four year old. After sitting there for a few minutes someone walked up behind her,

"Hey El," Arizona Robbins said. Elaina turned around,

"Hi Dr. Robbins!" She said excitedly. Elaina had grown to like Arizona very much. To her, Arizona always had fun toys to play with or games to play. Arizona had heard the fighting down the hall,

"Want to go upstairs and play?" Arizona asked, not wanting the little girl have to listen to her parents yell at each other.

"Yes!" she jumped off the chair and took Arizona's hand, pulling her towards the elevator. Arizona asked one of the nurses to tell Callie where they went and took Elaina upstairs to the play room. About twenty minutes later Callie stood in the doorway to the playroom. Elaina was wearing a scrub top that swallowed her tiny body and had Arizona's stethoscope in her ears, listening to Arizona's heartbeat. She turned around when Callie said her name,

"Mommy! Look I'm a doctor, like you!" she said enthusiastically, running over to Callie.

"I see that! Is Dr. Robins healthy?" She asked, playing along.

"Si, mucho healthy. Can I listen to your heart?" Elaina tended to mix her Spanish and English. Callie let her daughter place the stethoscope against her chest and listen to her heart while she talked to Arizona.

"Thanks for bringing her up here," Callie said gratefully.

"No problem. I didn't think you would want her listening to you guys. Everything ok?" She asked. Callie and Arizona had become fast friends after her divorce from George two years ago. Callie sighed,

"I guess. He's just being difficult again. The holidays and her birthday are coming up and we can't agree on what we are going to do. I don't want to think about it right now though; I'd rather just spend time with my daughter. We're gonna go get some dinner if you want to join us," Callie offered. Arizona looked at the clock,

"Sure, I get off in five minutes anyway, so food sounds great." Elaina had started listening again once they began talking about food,

"McDonalds?" She asked hopefully.

"No way," Callie said firmly. She was completely against McDonalds unless it was the only option. But tonight it was only six and they had plenty of time to go to a restaurant Callie approved of.

"Why not?" Elaina asked stubbornly.

"Because I said so."

"That's not fair!" Elaina yelled loudly, causing several people to look at them. Arizona stepped in before a full on meltdown could happen,

"Elie, why don't you come to the locker room with me to get changed. We can get some stickers on the way." Elaina smiled and let Arizona take her from Callie.

"Ok." About fifteen minutes later Callie, Arizona, and Elaina were in Callie's car on their way to the restaurant. They walked inside, Elaina in-between them, holding their hands and swinging back and forth while they walked. They got seated at their table and ordered their food. While they were waiting for their food to come Elaina was coloring on thee sheet they gave her and Arizona and Callie were talking.

Once again Elaina was seated between Callie and Arizona. Elaina was chattering on about something that happened in daycare that day, but she was talking so fast that it was hard to understand her. Once their food came she eventually became quiet. She had tried to continue talking while stuffing food in her mouth, but Callie quickly stopped her. After they ate they were in the car again heading home. Within five minutes of being in the car Elaina had fallen asleep in her car seat.

"Thank God," Callie said, sighing. Once her daughter fell asleep she was out, but most nights it was a fight to get her even in her room.

"You've got one crazy child Calliope," Arizona said, "I'm glad I came with you guys tonight, this was fun."

"It was, we should do it again sometime soon. Maybe without the four year old next time."

"Calliope Torres, are you asking me out on a date?"

"I guess I am," Callie said flirtingly.

"Well I would love to," Arizona said as they pulled up at the hospital next to her car.

"Great. I can't wait. See you tomorrow Arizona." Callie said as she climbed out of the car. Callie took Elaina home to their apartment and got her inside without waking her up.

The next day Elaina ran into the hospital ahead of Callie, "Slow down mi'ja," she called to her daughter, who of course didn't listen. Elaina ran through the doors and straight into a pair of legs,

"Hey, watch where you're going munchkin," Alex Karev said, picking her up and throwing her in the air, causing her to erupt into giggles.

"Again!" she said once he caught her. Alex complied and tossed her in the air again right as Callie came around the corner.

"Elaina! What have I told you about running away from me? What did I say last time would happen if you did it again?" Callie asked angrily.

"Ooohhh, some one's in trouble," Alex teased while Elaina shrugged,

"I don't 'member," she said innocently.

"Really? Well I believe," Callie started to say, but was interrupted by her pager. She checked it and saw that it was 911, "I believe that Uncle Alex is going to put you in time out while I go answer this page," She said, walking away quickly as she was paged again. Once Callie was gone Elaina turned to Alex,

"I'm not going to time out," she said firmly.

"I think you are. Your mom said so." He began walked down the hallway to the empty nurses' station where he place her in a corner behind it, "Now stay still, and no talking," he said, picking up a chart and looking it over. Elaina stood in the corner, pouting, until Alex told her she could come out, at which point she climbed into his lap.

"I wanna go visit Aunt Izzie," she said.

"Alright. Let's go then," he said, picking her up and putting her on his shoulders. When they got to Izzie's room Alex put her down, "Remember, we have to be quiet ok? She might not be feeling well." Elaina nodded and went into the room. She tiptoed over to the bed and stared at Izzie's face,

"Aunt Izzie?" She whispered. There was no answer so she tried again, "Aunt Izzie?" she was about to say her name again when Izzie's eyes shot open and her hands stuck out, catching the young girl in a hug,

"Boo!" Izzie said, laughing at the startled reaction from Elaina.

"You scared me!" Elaina said accusingly.

"I thought it was pretty funny. Where's your momma?" She asked the young girl.

"She had a 'mergency," Elaina told her. She spent the next thirty minutes playing in Izzie's room while Alex did his rounds. Eventually the four year old was lying next to Izzie, sound asleep. That is where Callie found them two hours later, both Izzie and Elaina sound asleep on the bed. She decided it would be best to just let them sleep, especially because Elaina was a terror if someone woke her up and Callie couldn't deal with that right now.

Instead, she made her way up to the pediatric floor, hoping to find Arizona. She found her standing at the nurses' station, filling out a patients chart.

"Hey" Arizona said happily when she saw her.

"How's it going?" Callie asked.

"Eh, it's good. How 'bout you? Where's your tiny human?"

"Asleep in Stevens' room. There is no way I'm gonna be the one to wake her up. George can do that. It's his weekend with her anyway."

"Hey, since George has Elaina for the weekend do you want to get dinner? Maybe a drink?" Arizona asked.

"That sounds perfect," Callie replied. They made plans to meet in the lobby when their shifts ended then went their separate ways.

THREE MONTHS LATER, Callie, Elaina, and Arizona sat around the table in Callie's kitchen.

"Momma?" Elaina asked.

"Yes mi'ja?" Callie asked as she cut her daughters food into smaller pieces so she wouldn't choke.

"Does Zona live here now?" she asked, surprising both adults. Arizona and Callie looked at each other,

"Why do you think that?" Callie inquired.

"Well, because she was here the other night when I went to bed and then she was here for breakfast. And she was here last night too, and this morning. And now she's havin' dinner with us. So do you live here now?" She directed the last part of the question to Arizona personally. Callie and Arizona exchanged a look, unsure of what to say. It was Callie, who spoke first,

"How would you feel if Arizona did live here with us?" Elaina thought about it while she chewed her food. After swallowing she spoke up,

"I think I would like it," She said simply.

"Really?" Arizona asked.

"Yeah. You're really nice and I like you. And mommy always smiles when you're around. So she must like you too. So you should live here." Elaina said all of this as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

"The kid's right. You should move in," Callie said to Arizona. They had been dating for several months now and they were madly in love, hardly ever apart.

"Are you sure?" Arizona asked, hoping that she was.

"Definitely. I want you here. We want you here." Arizona nodded.

"Alright then, I'll move in."

"Yay! Zona's movin in!" Elaina said excitedly, dancing around in her seat. She wasn't quite able to say Arizona yet, but Arizona didn't mind being called Zona by an adorable four year old. "Are you gonna sleep in mommas room?"

"Well I was thinking about taking your room actually," Arizona said jokingly, causing Elaina's eyes to go wide,

"You can't have my room!" she said, worried that she wouldn't have a place to sleep.

"Don't worry mi'ja, she's gonna sleep in my room," Callie reassured her. Elaina sighed in relief,

"Good, cause I like my room." The two adults laughed,

"We know sweetie, we know."

TWO MONTHS LATER they found themselves at Elaina's fifth birthday party. Everyone from the hospital and some of Elaina's friends from daycare and preschool were currently in the back yard at the Torres house. They had rented a bounce house for the kids and most of them were on there at the moment, leaving the adults free to talk and mingle. Callie had gone back inside to refill a pitcher of juice when George followed her into the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Callie asked. She and George had split on less the stellar terms and tried to avoid each other as much as possible, which when you had a child together was hard to do, but they managed. It was hard for them to even be in the same room together without fighting about something, so it surprised Callie when George willing followed her.

"I have to tell you something," he said seriously. Callie began to get a little worried,

"What is it?" she asked.

"I'm joining the army. I ship out next week." Callie was stunned, she had never pictured George O'Malley as the type to join the army, especially since it would take him away from his daughter, "I just wanted to let you know, and obviously it will affect Lanie."

"George, are you sure about this?" Callie asked.

"Yeah. This is what I need to do."

"What about Elaina?" George sighed,

"I am going to miss her more than anything. But I have to do this." Callie stayed silent for a moment then spoke up,

"Ok. Do you want me to tell Elaina or do you want to tell her?"

"I can tell her tomorrow morning. I'll take her out to breakfast at that pancake place she likes." Callie nodded and was about to reply when they were interrupt by their daughter running in, begging to open presents. They happily agreed and followed her back outside, watching as she opened present after present.

OK so tell me what you thought! I will try to post again tomorrow, but I might not get to until Thursday or Friday.
