I watch from afar as Sofia laughs at something Penny says and my blood boils at the thought of the redhead replacing me. Callie takes Sofia's hand as they leave the hospital and I sigh sadly.
I know I was the one who screwed everything up, I put myself before Callie and Sofia way too much and I lost them because of it. I chose my career over Callie and another baby and it was the last straw, she couldn't bare to be with me anymore. I know we were both stuck, forcing ourselves to stay together for Sofia, brushing over our problems so that Sofia wasn't hurt. Now I wonder what would have happened if we did it all differently. If we didn't ignore our problems when they surfaced would there still have been a chance to save our marriage? Would we have fixed us and survived the next obstacle thrown at us? Or would we still have crashed and burned and ended up back here with another woman putting my daughter to bed every night while all I get is a phone call that lasts three minutes, four times a week.
"Robbins!" I'm pulled from my thoughts of my failed relationship and snapped back to reality where Callie and I didn't work out together and I sigh before running to the Pit. I was meant to take Sofia to the airport, spend those last few minutes together before she flew back to New York with Callie and Penny but I was called into work last minute and plans had to change. I hated saying goodbye to my little girl so throwing myself back into work helps but I still love having that extra time and moment at the airport.
"You OK?"
"Peachy" I reply sarcastically as I pull a yellow gown on over my street clothes. April Kepner holds her hands up in surrender and I sigh "Sorry, Sofia just left. I really don't like Penny"
"She'll be back Arizona, Penny won't replace you"
"Yea" I mumble as the ambulance pulls in. "What do we have Hunt?"
"It's Eliza Minnick" I hold back a gasp and try not make a scene.
"Why am I here?"
"She's 3 months pregnant according to the paramedic" Eliza is pulled out of the back of the ambulance and I push our relationship to the back of my head and fight the urge to cry at the sight of her. Right off the bat I can tell she's got a broken hand and from how much blood is on her jeans, I know she was pregnant. Was. My heart breaks as Owen calls out for someone to page Amelia and Bailey and April shakes me.
"I uh I can't be on this one" I state, causing Owen to snap his head up to me "I'm to close. Page Karev, I can walk him through what to do but I can't be on this case"
"Did you know?" He asks softly.
"No, she never mentioned it. Can I sit in the O.R with her?"
"We aren't there yet"
"Yea we are" April states quietly, finding a bullet wound on Eliza's thigh. A sob breaks through as I cover my mouth and Owen sighs.
"I'll see, Someone page Karev" I move over to Eliza's head and lean on the bed carefully
"Go away" She coughs, avoiding eye contact "I don't want you seeing me like this"
"I'm not going any where, don't bother trying to push me out" I take her good hand and kiss her head. "What happened?"
"Everyone will find out about us"
"Let them, tell me what happened"
"Hunt" She coughs, grabbing his attention "She's not going in. At all"
"Eliza, don't"
"No, you don't need people knowing on top of this and Sofia. Go!" I roll my eyes at her and she sighs "I don't want you here" I reach up and caress her face carefully
"Too bad. Stop being stubborn, Eliza. It's not going to work. Not this time"
"What do we- What is wrong with this picture?" I wipe away Eliza's tears as she yelps in pain.
"It's OK, it'll be over soon" I whisper, ignoring Alex Karev.
"Arizona, you have to go"
"I'm not going anywhere" I snap at Hunt, still not taking my eyes off of Eliza.
"Come with me, you can sit with her in surgery if you come with me now" April says softly, her hand on my shoulder. "She's in good hands" I nod and Eliza reaches up to wipe away my tears.
"I'll see you soon" She smiles sadly and I lean down to kiss her.
"Yea" I don't know what else to say before I press my lips against hers.
April pulls me from the trauma bay and closes the curtain behind us. She hugs me tightly and I sob into her shoulder as I hold onto her.
"She will be OK" April whispers softly. I nod and pull back, wiping my eyes. "Let's go get coffee" I nod and let her lead me to the attending lounge.
-----------
"Arizona" Eliza sighs "I'm OK, please stop pacing"
"No! It's Bailey's fault, if she hadn't fired you-"
"I still would have been there, it would've been my day off" I sigh and turn back to Eliza. She was at the bank when a group of idiots tried to rob it.
"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
"I couldn't"
"So you are Bisexual"
"No, I'm all for the girls. I had a bad day at work so I decided to get drunk. Two weeks later, I was pregnant. I don't remember much from that night"
"Oh baby" I sigh, sitting next to her bed and taking her good hand.
"So it's gone?"
"No. With all the blood on your jeans, I thought it was but that was from the bullet. You're still pregnant"
"I'm sorry, you don't have to do this. It isn't your responsibility"
"Don't. If I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't. I would have bolted the minute Karev realized but I didn't because I want to be with you"
"You don't want this. It's why your marriage ended, you didn't want another baby"
"No I just put my career first and Callie left me for it. This has nothing to do with that. I'm not leaving you Eliza because I love you"
"You do?" She asks. I smile and lean into kiss her passionately. She moans when I break the kiss and I chuckle.
"You stole my heart Eliza Minnick, I never want it back"
"Never?"
"Well..." I trail off, my face showing no emotion. Her face falls and I grin, "Never. Please don't break it"
"I love you too"

I've been gone for a bit, dealing with personal things but I'm back and I have a few chapters for this ready to go! I'll be updating at least once a week.
I've literally lost interest in most of my stories; deleted most of them. I have a couple new ideas and I'm still in the process of figuring out the first few chapters for them but I hope you enjoy You Were It.
I don't like how they left Ariliza, they could have been a great couple but I'm so happy about Carizona, fingers cross they work out!
1000% sure I will finish this story
