New to Seattle

33. Amazing!

The next couple of days were emotionally stressful for us both. We went to the cops so that Arizona could report what happened. They didn't seem very helpful about it, especially when she told them it happened 2 months ago. They just told us if anything came up they would be in contact. We also got Arizona an appointment with an OB to do an initial scan. They were very helpful and got her booked in straight away, mainly because we both work at the hospital. The night before the scan we had a bit of a heated argument because she didn't know what she was going to do, have an abortion? Give it up for adoption? Keep it?

Arizona- I'M NOT HAVING AN ABORTION! I KNOW THAT MUCH

Shell- AND THAT'S FINE. WHAT'S IT GONNA BE, PUT IT UP FOR ADOPTION OR KEEP IT.

Arizona- I DON'T KNOW! WHAT IF I KEEP IT AND YOU JUST SPLIT? I'LL BE LEFT ON MY OWN WITH A KID.

Shell- OH, MY, GOD! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE! HOW MUCH OF A BITCH DO YOU THINK I AM?

Arizona- HOW DO I KNOW YOU WONT CHANGE YOUR MIND.

Shell- YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST ME... You know what, let's get the scan out of the way and i don't know, I'll speak to the chief and we can get some time off... i'll take us away for a week... just us and we can work it out from there.(leaving the bedroom)

Arizona- wait, where are you going...

Shell- i'm done arguing with you about this. I'm going to make a coffee... do you want one?

Arizona- um, i probably shouldn't

Shell- a tea instead?

Arizona- yeah, please.

The following day we went to work like usual. Arizona's scan was booked in for 11:30 so we had a few hours before we had to be there. I had a very quiet day so I thought it would be the best time to talk to the chief about us both going away for the rest of the week. I had spoken to Arizona and she agreed that I could tell Owen everything that had happened and what was our current situation. I made my way to his office and knocked on the door. I heard him say to go inside and i opened the door closing it behind me.

Owen- Dr. Grey, how can i help you.

Shell- hey. I was wondering if Dr. Robbins and I could get a few days off. We have a bit of a situation going on that we need some space to sort out what we are going to do.

Owen- okay, what's going on, Grey?

Shell- so, just over 2 months ago Arizona was... she was raped and now she is pregnant and we need to work out what she wants to do...

Owen- oh, my, god. Is she okay?

Shell- as okay as you would expect. She has been through hell and covered it up from everyone, until now. Not to mention she is now expecting and needs to decide what to do.

Owen- okay, I will give you both until the end of the week. If you need anything else, my door is always open.

Shell- thanks, we both really appreciate it... oh and Owen...

Owen- yeah?

Shell- can you keep this between just us. We don't want anybody else to know until we decide what is going to happen.

Owen- of course.

Shell- thanks.

I left Owen's office and made my way back to the Neuro department to speak to Derek. I wanted to let him know I was not going to be about for a few days but wasn't going to go into too many details as to why. 

Shell- hey, Shepherd. I cant go into details about it, but I wanted to let you know, i'm going to be off work until the end of the week.

Derek- oh okay, has something happened?
