A few months later. Arizona, Callie, and Sofia were loving living in their new home more than anything, but Callie was noticing something. At first she thought it was Arizona's leg, but it turns out to be something deeper than that.
Shoutout to @robbinsmemorial . Thank you for requesting chapters about Arizona for the future and for now.
CALLIE'S POV:
Something was going on with Arizona but I just couldn't put my finger on it. She's been skipping meals and has been sleeping a lot more lately than usual. Whenever I try to ask about it she avoids the subject and talks about something completely different. I know she's not pregnant, and her leg has gotten better but I can't figure out what is causing her to be so distant.
ARIZONA'S POV:
I was laying in our bedroom in the dark when Callie came in. She laid down next to me and put her hand on my back, "when you are ready to talk to me about what's bothering you please come to me. I love you with every fiber in my body, and I want to help baby" she said softly. I really wanted to tell her that I'd been getting flashbacks from the plane crash but I couldn't bring myself to do so. Callie had lost Mark in the plane crash, and I'd lost my leg. We were both struggling from Mark's death but I couldn't put my problems on her. I had to be strong for this family, even if that meant hiding the fact that I may be falling into depression.
SOFIA'SPOV:
Mommy has become more closed off. She sleeps a lot and barely eats any food. Mama ordered all of our favorites last night for dinner, and Mommy barely touched any of her food. All she keeps saying is that she hasn't been having that much of an appetite lately. I can tell Mama is worried about her, so am I.
A few days later
ARIZONA'S POV:
Today was the day that I was going to tell Callie about my flashbacks and PTSD episodes. They were slowly progressing and I really just needed Callie to hold me when they came along. My therapist told me they would come sometimes and that I had to be prepared or them, and now was the time to be prepared. Callie would be getting home from a very late night at the hospital but I already told her I wanted to talk about something. Once Callie got home she sat down with me in our bedroom as she ate some leftovers. "Callie before I tell you this please d-don't be mad" I asked pleadingly. All she did was nod her head confusingly as she ate her food. "I've been having a lot of flashbacks from the p-pla-pl" I couldn't get the word out. Callie rubbed my back and finished my sentence for me, "from the plane crash honey?". I just nodded my head vigorously, forcing back the sobs that were ready to leave my mouth at any second.
CALLIE'S POV:
Arizona was literally on the verge of tears but I knew she didn't want to be held at the moment. As she was explaining everything to me, I kissed her hand to reassure her that I was still sitting right beside her. As she was telling me about her episodes I couldn't help but feel really bad for her. We were both struggling from the death of our friends, especially the death of Mark. Mark was my bestfriend, Sofia's dad, and Arizona's friend. Arizona kept apologizing when she brought up Mark, and before I could blink she began to cry. "Arizona...don't cry honey" I whispered as she leaned into me.
ARIZONA'S POV:
I couldn't hold my tears in any longer, the way Callie looked at me with so much affection had me bawling. She had me wrapped up in her arms, and placed a blanket over my body. "I got you Zona, I got you. I'm here for you and I'll stay with you through everything. Even when we are at work, if you need me to help you through an episode I want you to page me". The only answer I could give was a head nod and slight smile. We stayed in the same position for a while before Callie asked if I wanted to shower with her. My eyes were red and I was extremely tired from the amount of worrying, crying, and episodes I had today. Callie kept me wrapped in her arms and I honestly felt myself starting to doze off in the shower. "Hold on baby, let's get out the shower" Callie said kind of loud which caused me to jump. We finished washing up, got out of the shower, got into some comfy clothes, and laid down in bed. I moved to lay on top of Callie, and that's exactly how we fell asleep.
shorter chapter today, but at least I was able to update. I actually wrote this in the middle of a couple of my online classes, so I hope its good.
