You are my light in the Darkness

Chapter 9 - Stand back and do nothing

Arizona's POV

November 13th

8 am

Arizona woke up screaming and wet from her own sweat. She sat up and noticed she was panting. Her eyes scanned the room and when she recognized her surroundings her heart rate came down a little bit and she could relax a little bit again. Just when she was calmed down it hit her again, Calliope is gone. Her heart started freaking again and her eyes watered. No, not again.

The door burst open and James almost ran in. "Are you okay? I heard you screaming." His face was worried and he looked like he hadn't slept for days, which he probably hadn't.

"Yeah fine. Sorry if I woke you up." She said, avoiding eye contact.

"I was up anyway.. It's okay Arizona." James tried to reassure her. They were both silent for a moment and Arizona knew that they were both thinking about Callie. "Anything?" She dared to ask. They had decided on not talking about it, thinking that maybe that could make them feel better.

James shook his head no and Arizona felt all her hope disappear again. That's why she shouldn't ask questions like these. To her surprise James walked into the room further and closed the door, he sat down on her bed and actually looked at her this time. His eyes were red and he looked exhausted.

"Arizona.." He started carefully. She slightly moved her head and her eyes flick a warning emotion. No, he was not about to talk to her about it, as long as they can't talk about it most of the time, it doesn't have to feel real. James lightly smiled at the sight of her face. "I have been asked for a transfer. Two doctors from here will be going to camp 2 and I can stay here at camp 5." He looked hesitantly at her, not knowing if she wanted him here around her.

Her face stayed the same for almost an entire minute, not showing anything until her lips curled into a small smile and she pulled the man in for a hug, which was quite awkward giving their position.

"I'd like that James."

He reached for something behind him and handed it over to Arizona. "Here, I got you this."

Arizona looked down at the box of donuts and couldn't hold back a chuckle.

"Walsh! Robbins!" Arizona heard her chief yell from somewhere in the building. She quickly gestured to another doctor to take over her patient and ran off to where the sound had come from.

"What is it, chief?" She asked Mills. Ryan didn't answer, instead waited until Lindsey stood next to Arizona – not without a teasing smile at her direction of course – before he finally looked down at the two woman.

"We got a call about a pregnant woman who's currently about to deliver her baby. I need you two to go and help." He said, voice calm. He knew what was going on but he also knew that there was nothing he could do, they could only hope on the soldiers of camp 2. He had decided on not talking to Arizona about it, since she was still doing her job perfectly.

"Great. Where is she?" Lindsey said as she scanned her look around the trauma room.

A chuckle escaped the chief's mouth, making the two woman look up again to meet his gaze. "No, not here. In the field."

Arizona's eyes widened at her mouth dropped slightly open. Lindsey, however, smiled and grabbed Arizona's arm, shaking her lightly. "We are going to make such a great team!" She squealed.

Arizona looked away and rolled her eyes. Seriously, couldn't that woman just leave her alone for once.
