Meant to be

Hi! How are you?

Callie's POV
Everyone who is a doctor knows that the night shift can go two ways. Either it's very peaceful, nothing major, maybe one critical patient or its frenetic. Either you have one bed taken or you have all of them taken and more piled up in the hallways. Either everyone in Seattle decided to stay home and sleep all night or it seems as all Seattle went outside to party and got hurt moving furniture and they all end up in the hospital. Like who moves furniture at 11 pm? Oh I know, not the reasonable people because reasonable people enjoy there sleep.
So guess which night did I have? No, not the peaceful kind.
Since midnight I have been in 5 different OR's fixing 5 different types of injuries. Leaving my last OR before heading back to the ER I see Arizona leaving her OR as well.
She read my note and is putting it back in her pocket. I walk to her.

Arizona's POV
Putting the note in my pocket all I can think about is Callie. How I wish that for just a second we could be together, just a second.
As I'm done finishing the patients chart I hand it back to a nurse and suddenly I feel strong arms around my waist. I jump at first by surprise but immediately melt in her arms after. Leaning back and resting my arms on hers around my waist, I let her hold me as I rest my head in her shoulder closing my eyes. Callie kisses my forehead and after a minute I turn to face her.
I put my arms under hers wrapping them around her waist and pull her to me without opening my eyes. I lean back against the counter not to put all my weight back on Callie and pull her with me so she can rest her body on mine. I rest my head in her shoulder hugging her tight and Callie rests her head on my head. I don't need to ask or to tell, I know Callie's eyes are shut just like mine and in this moment no one talks. Everything we need is to gain batteries and for that we need hold each other.

Callie's POV
I think I might have fallen asleep because I jump when my pager rings. Without letting go of Arizona I look down and turn it off.
Arizona's pager rings as well and she shuts hers off.
I hold her tight for just a second longer and then Arizona pulls back and places a soft kiss on my lips. It seems like forever the last time we kissed.
"Just as a reminder.." Arizona says pulling back.
"How could I forget?" I ask her.
We walk together to the ER but in silence. In the elevator Arizona is busy writing me a note and every time I try and pick she looks at me and I move back smirking.
When the elevator doors open she kisses the note and folds it.
Holding my hand walking into the frenetic ER I hold hers back and give her a tight squeeze. Arizona never likes the messiness of a crazy ER. Everyone screaming, every patient vomiting, doctors on top of patients giving CPR in the hall way, blood on the floor of each trauma room. It's a complete mess.
"Dr. Robbins thank God! We have a boy with his intestines out!" Jackson says. Arizona gives him a question look. "Literally out!" He says.
"Dr. Torres, trauma 1" April shouts.
Arizona squeezes my hand one last time and I pull her hand and her and give her a reassuring kiss on the lips.
Arizona pulls away just a few millimeters and takes a deep breath before walking away. When her hand leaves mine I notice she left the note in my hand, the place where her hand was.
I close my hand hoping the holding of the note would feel something like the hold of her hand but it doesn't.
Walking into the trauma room I place the note in my pocket.
It will have to wait but at least I have something to look forward to.

Arizona's POV
How does a 7 year old end up in my OR table with his intestines out of his body?
For now it doesn't matter, for now all that matters is that I could save the boy and Jackson made the scaring minimal.
After exiting the OR and washing my hands I look at my watch, 11:40.

Callie's POV
Leaving the surgery I sit down on the bench, the first sit I have taken in 9 hours and I open Ar's note.
"Thank you for holding me. All I needed was for you to hold me. All I'll ever need is for you to hold me and for me to hold you. All I'll ever need is you. You and me. That's it. Right now I'm a little scared because the ER will be crazy but by your side I fear nothing. You're my life jacket. By cape in the rain. My home in the winter. My light in the dark. I know nothing is going to happen to me while you're by my side and protecting you and Sofia is the most important thing I'll ever do in my life. Beside you and fear nothing and fight everything. You're my everything as well! 💋 Yours". I can't do anything but smile. A happy tear rolls down my cheek and lands on the paper but I quickly wipe it away. All I can do is smile.
3 more surgeries and seven consults.
After my last consult I head to Peds.
