Chapter Three: Never Say Never

Test Of Faith

=================

Arizona/Callie

Calzona Apartment

=================

Alarm rings. Arizona tries to reach for the clock. Callie goes out of the bedroom, eyes half opened, messy hair and looks at Arizona.

"What do you want for breakfast?" - Callie, trying to open her eyes.

"I won't have any today. I gotta go. But thanks." - Arizona getting up from the couch where she slept last night. She opens up the divorce paper that she signed.

Callie looks on and tried to grab the paper. Arizona stood and swayed the paper to her back.

"I have to go. I'll see you at the hospital". - Arizona getting up and heading to the shower.

"What? So is this how we are going to be? Just see you at home? See you at the hospital?".. - Callie looking upset.

"Please don't start with me, Callie." - Arizona

"..and you have been having fun calling me Callie now? Geez! Arizona, you might want to slow down just a bit because you seem too excited to rehearse for a possible divorce!"- Callie

"Oh yes! I am. I am anxious! Because, yeah! It really is possible, which is why, I think having to stop me from filing this paper is in fact inappropriate. Not to mention, very selfish of you to do! So please! Don't start with me today, Callie..and yes! I am calling you Callie.." - Arizona turns upset and Callie shuts up.

Arizona turns back..

"I will be calling you that with so much fun and excitement!" - Arizona as she shuts the door from the bathroom.

"I love you!" - Callie screams. Dismissing Arizona's anger.

=======================

Grace Hospital

Callie/Arizona/Bailey/Alex

=======================

"What do we have for Trauma? I need a lot of trauma right now.. " - Callie

"You sound more excited getting trauma today Torres, is there any good news from yesterday?" - Bailey

"My wife hates me. Yeah, with passion. Like she could melt a frozen island for thousand years. Like her anger is way above.." - Callie as she fixes her scrub suit

"Well you gotta do more than an apology everyday. Well you seem to be taking all the advantages of your wife hating you. Because you are wanting to save more people.." - Bailey jokes

"That's mean, haha! But she seem really sexy to me when she ignores me." - Callie

"Hah! Like that would really look sexy." - Karev

"Oh! Look at my wife's new "boyfriend" here!.. Well yeah, I find her sexy when she's not looking and when she smirks at me. When she takes off her clothes and I look at her body, it's more like an intense foreplay!" - Callie says with sarcasm and sexy voice.

Arizona joins the attending at the entrance.

Silence. Callie coughs. Awkward silence.

Arizona, Bailey and Callie

"What was that again Dr. Torres?" - Karev

"No one is talking to you, donkey!" - Callie

"Hey! Stop it you two!" - Bailey

"Why can't there be no peaceful place in this hospital? Aint that right Dr. Bailey?" - Arizona

"I have no opinion."- Bailey

"Nice to see you today Dr. Robbins! I haven't had any cases to hold for the past few days and I was wondering if.." - Alex

"You are not in my service today, Karev."- Arizona

Callie chuckles while Alex looked pissed and headed inside the hospital.

"Something funny Dr. Torres?" - Arizona

"Nothing. I just think you're amazing and I love you." - Callie with a big smile on her face.

Callie seems a little bit comfortable wooing her wife back and this left Arizona speechless. Callie can be surprisingly sweet and this is something that makes Arizona smile and giggle. At this point, Arizona is obviously not in the same page as Callie.

"Really? Really now Calliope Torres? Is that the best you've got? Oh well, NEWSFLASH: It doesn't impress me at all. Oh! And it's kind of irritating. God!" - Arizona headed back inside the hospital.

"And now we are left here. Really Torres? How cheesy can you get haha!"- Bailey finding Callie to be mushy and desperate.

Callie continues to smile.

"..well atleast she calls me Calliope now. Didn't you find that sexy, Bailey? I mean just look at the way she looked at me with disgust and anger and...I think it's sexy!" - Callie giggling.

Bailey, dumbfounded and trying to find the right words to say.

"I'm sorry what? Sexy? You find that sexy? I think she just dumped you, that's what's clear to me."- Bailey finding Callie's reaction weird. " You know people are turning weird when they go through rocky relationships." - as Bailey headed back inside the hospital, leaving Callie still smiling.

===========================

Cafeteria

Arizona/Callie/Derek/Owen

===========================

Derek, Owen and Arizona having a great and fun conversation at the cafeteria. Callie joins them.

Arizona and Owen Hunt

"Oh, for the love of God." - Arizona taking a bite of her salad.

"What? Everything okay?" - Derek

"Nothing, I just want to eat. Am I also barred from eating with my colleagues now?"- Callie

"No! Not at all!"- Arizona exclaimed.

Silence. Owen coughs

"So, ahhhh Torres, I heard you have this case about a man with a rib cage sticking to his heart?" - Owen

"Yeah, hardcore! The hospital is flying a new Cardio. Atleast just for this case because the new hired doctor is still in Jamaica for some mission."- Callie setting her chair next to her wife.

"There's no enough space here Dr. Torres, you might want to sit right next to Dr. Shepperd or Dr. Hunt." - Arizona points out.

"Whoa! So we are all so proper now huh? We call each other Dr. Shepperd and Dr. Hunt during breaks. That's cool! You two sure everything is okay?" - Derek

"..well, my beautiful wife here is a little bit cranky and I'm not going to argue with her. And I prefer sitting right next to you. Making my food really appetizing." - Callie

Owen and Derek chuckle.

"O really now Torres? You only throw lines like that when something's wrong hahaha, atleast not divorce, right?"- Owen

Silence and Arizona looking serious. Owen realizes, it is indeed the D word.

"You know Hunt? You have this tendency to over ask something."- Callie

Arizona stands up and leaves the three.

==============

Nurse's Station

Arizona/Callie/

==============

 "I got you coffee!"- Callie behind Arizona

"No, I am not wanting coffee anymore."- Arizona signs on something

"Since when?"- Callie

Dr. Robbins

"Since I learned that you want to divorce me, it turned my whole world upside down but I realized, it's a lift on my ass. Atleast I wouldn't feel guilty about you going somewhere else other than Grace Hospital. What do you think?"- Arizona

"Well, I realized what I said was terribly wrong and I don't want that to happen..to..to divorce you..because you're going to kill me.."

..." and waking up in the morning wouldn't be the same or as happy as looking at the smile of my gorgeous wife or just by waking up and looking at your stunning blue sparkling eyes that shines all over my cranky apartment..."- Callie pauses and sighs for a bit. "... I just want that for the rest of my life." - Callie finishes.

Arizona looks at her wife and tries to stop herself from smiling. She should feel angry, she should feel insulted that Callie is talking to her like nothing happened. She finds it cute when Callie starts to become tactless and says words that are sweet and at the same time, funny.

"Calliope, you...you are charming." - Arizona

Callie flashes a big smile, like she was given hope.

.." but this whole mushy, corny thing that you have been blurting out since I woke up this morning is making you look like a fool. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to see you. I don't... I just don't find all these as cute or..or romantic.. " - Arizona closes the document that she has been reading.

"I don't care. Can I just tell you something?.. - Callie

"I don't want to hear it. I don't want to know. Just keep it to yourself."- Arizona

"Just real quick, I promise!" - Callie

"I'm not interested, Callie."- Arizona leaves her.

"Okay, I won't say it." - Callie ".. But I love you and I miss you." - Callie

"Callie, seriously, stop it. And geez! You're all over the place! I am not liking it! " - Arizona finally fades from the hallway.

======================

Cafeteria

Callie/Arizona

======================

"Hey! I made this chicken picada for you. I prepared one last night! Well seasoned, you will love it!" - as Callie hands down the chicken picada in a plate.

"Oh my lord. I'm not hungry, Callie, you've been following me around, you've been handing out food after food after food. I am very well nourished, thank you very much! "- Arizona

" I just wanted to make sure you get to eat, that's all I'm after." - Callie

" I don't need more than 4 meals a day. You're turning me into gigantic blonde doctor walking along this hospital like I've never eaten in years! Callie, you've got to stop this, okay?" - Arizona

"Arizona,.." - Callie

"Callie.. I want some space, okay? I don't want to talk this now but I think I made it clear that I don't want to talk to you or I don't want you to get anywhere near me. I want space. Like an entire day of not seeing you. Or at least an entire hour of not smelling you.." - Arizona

"That's pretty condescending, smell? Really?" - Callie

"..because you are literally everywhere and..and you have to give me that space that I need. Callie, I don't want to say this over again, okay?" - Arizona

Callie sighs and pauses. Stares at her wife and kisses her hand.

"Okay, you got it. Okay. " - Callie

=====================

Calzona Aparrtment

Callie/Arizona

Arizona already in bed

=====================

Callie lies down beside her wife. Arizona still awake but pretends to be asleep. Callie kisses her wife goodnight and embraces her from her back. Callie smells her wife like they've never seen in a long while.

"I know you're still awake.. " - as Callie brushes through Arizona's arm.

"... I don't know if I could give you that space that you want. And I know it's selfish but I can't. Just the thought of you holding that paper makes me go crazy..just that gesture of you being cold to me makes me insanely sad.." - Callie kisses her wife once more and leaned her body unto her.

".. I've been missing you everyday.." - Callie's voice trembles and tears form in her eyes as she tries to control her emotions. Arizona listens to her wife but pretends to be asleep.

"..you're kisses, your stare, your smell, your touch, your hands, your...your everything. And I know you may never ever forgive me for what I did or what I said but you know..you know how much chock-full of love I have for you. And I am thinking, if I give you that space...that space..."- Callie breaks into tears.

Arizona turns her back and looks at her wife, in tears. Arizona doesn't like seeing her wife in tears, it breaks her heart and seeing Callie in a very emotional state just squeezes and it raptures her every soul.

"..that space that shouldn't even be there, I could lose you. I may never be able to lie down to you this close again.".. - Callie

"Calliope, I.. I..I don't know.. I'm just so...hurt. And I don't know what's going to happen if you give me that space. P-please.. Stop crying now." - Arizona wiping Callie's tears.

" I know, I can't be this selfish. If I give you that space, will you promise me you will not go anywhere? That you will stay?" - Callie

"..I don't know. I am asking for space not because I want you to do it. I need that space for myself, Callie. Time to think and time to decide what's best for me and what's best for us.".. - Arizona

"B-but you can't just decide what's best for us, this is a relationship. I should have a say on this. And I don't want this to end. Not ever." - Callie

"You already decided, Callie. You made your choice. And I am making mine." - Arizona turning her back once more.

"It was a mistake. I am so sorry..please." - Callie sobs

"Please turn off the lights. I'm tired."- Arizona finally covers herself with blanket.

Lights turned off
