A loud beeping interrupted Aurora's sleep. She groaned and she moved her hand on Jackson, shaking him. "Turn it off." She had been feeling so exhausted the last few days that she was constantly late at work, sleeping through the alarm clock every morning. "Jackson" she whined when he hadn't made a move yet.

"Okay, okay." He moved hos arm turning the alarm clock off. He took a minute to fully wake up. "Good morning." He kissed her shoulder and took the blanket off his body.

"Why is it so bright?" She said and put the pillow on her face. Her head was throbbing. "Do we really need lights?"

"Do you want me to make the sun disappear?" He ask sarcastically as he was picking up his clothes for the day.

"Yes!"

"Honey, come on get up, come running with me and Warren." He suggested as he sat down next to her. He took the pillow off her face and she only glared at him. "Are you feeling okay? What can I do for you?"

"My head hurts and I want to sleep." She rubbed her face before looking at him again. "I want you to stay in bed with me and cuddle me." She suggested making Jackson grin at her.

"Come on, get up. You have to go to work." He took her by the shoulders sitting her up, but she was feeling too tired to even fight him. "Let's get you breakfast."

Aurora walked into the hospital with her sunglasses on, like she had just woken up from a bad hungover. She wasn't sure why she was feeling so bad that morning. Maybe she was coming down with the flu or it could be the fact that she had just learnt the previous day that Arizona and Callie were fighting over Sofia's custody.

Callie wanted to move to New York with Penny and she wanted to take Sofia with her. Arizona felt like Callie didn't give her a choice, that she was going to lose Sofia and then she hired a lawyer and it was only getting worse since then.

To say that Aurora was mad about this is not even enough. She was so furious that the say she learnt about this she got a punching bag. She just hated how Mark wasn't there to take place. Or what the whole situation did to his memory.

"Ari" she heard two people saying at the same time and then she saw the two women approaching her.

"No." She muttered and took her sunglasses out. "Just no." She said louder. She knew exactly what they wanted. If one of them took Aurora on her side, it would mean a win for that parent. But Aurora wasn't going to do that. "I like you both. I am not doing this. Step away from me." She warned them before they could say anything else.

When her shift was over Aurora looked for Jackson to see if they would leave together. She opened the door to the attending's lounge only to see Callie sitting in the dark, quietly crying. "Oh, sorry, I-I was looking for Jackson." Aurora stuttered as she wasn't sure what to do about the sight in front of her. Callie only nodded her head without saying anything to her. Aurora moved around to leave, but she soon regretted and walked inside the room, closing the door behind her. "Look, Callie."
