Arizona's POV
I leave the hospital after about an hour. I can concentrate, I can even do charts.
I get home and open the door. I don't hear anything however the door is unlocked and Callie's purse is on the hanger so I know she's home. I walk upstairs and get into my bedroom. I walk into the bathroom. Despite our conversation I have a little bit of hope that Callie's toothbrush will still be on the cup and her brush and her towel and her shampoos. I look around and nothing's there.
I quickly walk back to the bedroom and notice the frame she had with a picture of me on the nightstand is facedown. I put it back up and sit on the side of the bed that used to be hers. After a minute I stand up and grab the frame. I take the frame I have of her in my nightstand and I place them in the hall. If Callie didn't want to take my picture with her to her room then I shouldn't have hers in mine. However they should both still exist together in our house so I just put them face down on the hall.
I start to cry and cover my mouth to silence the sound.
Callie walks out of her bedroom and I quickly run to mine and shut the door.
"Arizona.." Callie says on the other side of the door.
I sit down with my back on the door and cry. I hear Callie do the same thing on the other side. Then I hear her starting to cry to. We both stay there crying out hearts out more because we can't hold each other than from our own suffer.

Callie's POV
I hear Arizona stop to cry and walk away from the door so I do the same thing. I notice our frames on the hall and hold them up. How did we end up here? I feel a tear run down my face and I walk back to my bedroom. I shut the door and go to bed.

Day 10
It's been literally hell. Last time was hell but this time is even worst because I know Arizona is suffering. Every time we pass by each other it's like we are in slow motion. I beg her to hold me thro my eyes and she begs me to hold her thro hers but none of us makes the move.
Last night I was coming home late from work and as I passed her room I stopped to look at her. Arizona looked at me and gave me a sad smile. I smiled back and we just stood there looking at each other, trying to say thro our eyes what we couldn't thro our mouths.

Day 15
Arizona's POV
Right the day after I out the frames down at the hall I noticed Callie put them up, probably the night before.
It's been hell but especially because this time none of us is unsure of nothing. We both no we love each other and that we want to be together, we just need this time to figure out who we are separately so we can figure out how to be perfect combined. That's what we've been missing from the start.
Mark took Sofia back to Tacoma and Lexie's belly is already showing. Sofia is so excited. Callie and I have became crying partners. Every night one of us starts the crying "season" and as soon as the other listens, she burst down as well. In the morning we pretend it never happened and we pretend we didn't hear the other cry but the excess of makeup and the bags under our eyes tell differently.
As soon as we leave for work in separate cars it gets better but as we pass by each other at the hospital or see each other at lunch it all comes back and we plead for each other.
