Sparks In Scrubs | Arizona Robbins X Reader

Synergy and Sparks

The morning started with a complex and heart-wrenching case: a 10-year-old boy named Lucas, who was suffering from osteosarcoma in his femur. The surgery required the delicate and precise removal of the tumour while ensuring the femur remained intact, followed by reconstructive surgery. This procedure was highly risky, with potential complications including infection and significant blood loss.

As Arizona entered the surgical wing, she felt a renewed sense of confidence.

"Good morning, Dr. Robbins," Y/N greeted her, a warm smile on her face.

"Morning, Dr. Y/L/N. Ready to tackle this together?" Arizona responded, matching her smile.

They quickly got to work, reviewing Lucas's charts and discussing their approach. They noted the size and location of the tumour, along with the potential complications.

In the operating room, their synergy was evident. Every instruction and response flowed seamlessly, a testament to their mutual respect and growing connection.

"Scalpel," Arizona requested, and Y/N handed it to her without missing a beat.

"Retractor," Y/N said a moment later, and Arizona was already in a position to assist.

They moved in perfect harmony, their focus entirely on the patient. Hours passed, but their collaboration never faltered.

Midway through the surgery, a complication arose. Lucas's blood pressure started to drop rapidly, indicating significant blood loss. Arizona immediately called for more suction to clear the area and identify the source of the bleeding.

"Damn, we've got a bleeder," Y/N muttered, her calm demeanour unwavering as she worked quickly to locate and clamp the blood vessel.

"I can't see a damn thing because of all this blood," Arizona said, frustration evident in her voice as she tried to suction the area.

"Hold on, I've almost got it," Y/N replied, her voice steady. After a tense moment, she found the source of the bleeding. "Got it," she finally announced, her hands steady as she clamped the vessel.

Arizona felt a wave of relief wash over her as the bleeding subsided. "Good work," she said, her eyes meeting Y/N's for a brief, intense moment.

As they carefully removed the tumour, another challenge presented itself. The tumour was larger than initially anticipated, making it difficult to excise without damaging the surrounding tissue.

"We're going to need to adjust our approach," Y/N said, her brow furrowing in concentration.

Arizona nodded, her mind racing. "Let's take it slow. We need to make sure we don't cause any nerve damage."

With careful precision, they worked together to manoeuvre the delicate tissue. The tension in the room was palpable, but their combined expertise ensured the procedure went smoothly from there.

Finally, after several long hours, they completed the surgery. The tumour was removed, and the femur was intact. As they closed up, there was a palpable sense of achievement in the room.

During a break, Arizona and Y/N found themselves alone in the doctors' lounge. Arizona poured herself a cup of coffee, trying to shake off the lingering tension from the surgery.

"Great job in there," Y/N said, leaning against the counter. "We make a pretty good team."

Arizona smiled, feeling the ice finally breaking. "Yeah, we do. Thanks for your help. Couldn't have done it without you."

They shared a quiet moment, the hum of the hospital around them. It was a small connection, but it felt significant.

Back in the hallway, Alex stood near the nurse's station, observing the interaction from a distance. He exchanged a knowing glance with Jo.

"Look at them," Jo whispered to Alex, a smirk forming on her face. "They're like a power couple in the O.R."

Alex chuckled. "Arizona's got it bad. You can see the chemistry from a mile away."

As Arizona and Y/N approached, Alex couldn't resist a playful jab. "Hey, Robbins, nice work in there. You two looked like you've been working together for years."

Arizona rolled her eyes but couldn't help but smile. "Thanks, Alex. We just... work well together."

Y/N raised an eyebrow, catching the tease. "I guess we do."

Jo joined in, grinning. "You know, if this surgery thing doesn't work out, you two could always start your own clinic."

Arizona laughed, shaking her head. "Very funny, Jo."

Alex leaned in, a mischievous grin on his face. "So, Robbins, you and Dr. Y/L/N planning any more 'joint ventures' together?"

Arizona's cheeks turned a light shade of pink. "Shut up, Karev."

Y/N chuckled, feeling a warmth spread through her chest. "Thanks, Alex. We'll keep that in mind."

As they walked away, Alex called out, "Just don't get too distracted, Robbins. We've got patients to save."

Jo pinched Alex's arm, causing him to yelp. "Shut up, Alex. They're cute together."

Arizona and Y/N shared a glance, a mixture of embarrassment and amusement, as they headed back to work.
