Arizona Robbins x Callie Torres x Female Reader 1,895 words

You let out a loud gasp. Your eyes wide and brimming with tears - though not from pain, you were still in shock and the adrenaline was coursing through your veins. You had been shot. Actually been shot. You stared at the entry wound only a few centimetres below your right collarbone, oozing blood.

Suddenly, a hand scrambled over your shoulder and pressed, hard, against the puncture. You let out a sharp hiss and looked to your side to see an angry Karev. His eyebrows furrowed and his face turning red as he spoke at you. You looked at him vacantly.

"Are you stupid!? You could have died," he yelled quietly, but you could hear the troubled twinge in his words. "Are you even listening?" Alex paused as he searched yours eyes before you nodded, the action so small he would have missed it if he hadn't been focused solely on you. Alex grabbed your hand and pressed it against your wound, "Hold pressure," he ordered as he straightened to pull his scrub top off and you watched as he balled the fabric and pushed it under your hand.

A small head caught your attention from behind him- "Riley," you whispered and the young boy peeked out from hiding behind his hands, his brown eyes wider than you had ever seen before, "it's okay, Riley, I'm okay- see? Just a little blood, nothing you haven't seen before," you smiled at him and you saw the boy nod his head.

You turned to Alex beside you, "Hold him," you whispered, "he's scared." Noiselessly, Alex moved over to the boy and held out his arms to which the boy climbed into almost immediately. Alex Karev would make an excellent peds doctor, he had a way with kids, an understanding, that only so many had. He carefully took a seat on the lift floor beside you, Riley's arms around his neck as his small head rested on his shoulder. You stared at the metal door in front of you and sighed, "they're locked, aren't they?" Alex only nodded his head in response.

It had been hours since you had been shot and you were all still trapped inside the lift. Riley had only wanted to go on a trip around the hospital. Your eyes fluttered, fighting, to stay open and you felt the goosebumps travel up your arms toward the back of your neck. You shivered. Karev noticed. You didn't. Alex's eyes widened as he took in your appearance; you were losing too much blood.

"Y/n." He said as he shook your shoulder, you only hummed in response, the makeshift gauze fell easily and he cursed lightly underneath his breath. He looked at your wound, still oozing blood. Those doors needed to open. Alex looked around the lift for signs of anything that could help, his heart beating so loud he could hear it. He gritted his teeth, he didn't want it to come to this.

"Riley," he started and the boy lifted his head from his shoulder, "I need you to do an important job for me, okay?" Alex nodded his head and Riley did the same. "I need you to hold this down," he showed him the cloth, "just like I'm doing, okay?" Riley was hesitant and so Alex guided his hands down and showed him how much pressure he needed. "Okay?"

"Okay," Riley replied and Alex leapt over to the doors. His shaky hands fumbled as they pushed against each of the buttons with a loud click. Alex paused to curse under his breath, hands on his hips before he smashed his fists against the metal door - at first in annoyance, but then over and over again with desperation. The sound echoed around the small box, ringing. His fists felt hot and his heart burned; he couldn't let you die in there.

"Doctor Alex!!" Riley screamed, barely audible over the banging. Alex's head whipped around to see Riley's tear-stained face, his hands still holding pressure, but your chest had stopped rising. He scrambled over to you and pressed an ear to your heart - nothing. He wrapped one hand over the other and pumped your chest rhythmically. "Is she dead?" Riley whispered.

"No! Not today, I won't let her," Alex huffed as he worked to start your heart again. After so many pumps he tilted your head back and forced air into your lungs before going back to the chest compressions. Beads of sweat collected at his hairline and his breathing fast enough to use up all of the oxygen within the lift. With one final breath he pushed an ear to your chest and let out a dramatic sigh of relief as he slumped into himself over you. "God damnit, Y/n." He quietly croaked out and the room fell into a heavy silence.

A deafening crack sounded from just outside the lift doors, only a few seconds after you had responded, and Alex sprinted to the doors and tried to pry open the doors with his fingertips.

"GSW to the right collarbone, resuscitated in the field!" Alex Karev shouted as he dragged your stretcher toward the row of ambulances. He watched as Webber ran to meet him. "Patient is Doctor Y/n Y/l/n and is unresponsive," he called out and Webber's face fell as he took in the new information. Nodding his head, Webber grabbed a hold of the stretcher and directed you to the correct bay.

Now, Callie and Arizona had been rescued a few hours before you had and they stood in silence - watching, waiting, worrying - blankets over their shoulders as they gripped each other's hand. There was so much going on it was hard to know if you were still in the building or if you had gotten out, to know if you were hurt or safe or if you were even still alive. They didn't want to think about that, it was a possibility that they just couldn't stomach.

However, when they saw Alex Karev marching with a stretcher, both of their hearts sunk to the pit of their stomach because a familiar figure lay unmoving on it. They turned to each other, blue eyes meeting brown mirroring the same questioning expression. The two of them strained to watch through the noise and crowd, but they heard your name, loud and clear, as if the words had tunneled its way toward them. Without a seconds hesitation, Callie and Arizona were running, weaving through the crowd to get to you.

By the time they had gotten there, your heart had stopped and Alex was, once again, resuscitating you. Arizona choked back a sob shaky hands covering her mouth as Callie wrapped a hand around her waist to keep her from moving any closer. Your shirt - Arizona's shirt - was covered in blood, your blood. You had blood on your face, your eyes closed and eyelashes touching your cheek as if you were sleeping. You looked almost peaceful if it wasn't for the way your body jolted with every compression.

"Oh my god, Y/n.." Arizona cried as she turned into Callie for comfort. Callie prayed for you to pull through in hushed whispered under her breath as tears brimmed her eyes.

"GET THEM OUT OF HERE," Alex shouted as he continued to pump into your chest, the motion tiring his arms, but he was not going to stop now not after he had gotten you out. Over his concentration he barely noticed Webber escorting the two worried doctors away.

Arizona's hand rubbed soothingly across Callie's knee as she nervously chewed on her nails; the two sitting in a heavy silence, weighted by their worry for you. After they had been dragged away, you had been transported to Seattle Pres for an emergency surgery. You were going to be fine, they told themselves through the silence. As the time ticked by they shared only a few words and a few soft smiles. They couldn't talk about you, even if they wanted to. Each of their throats constricting at just the thought of you and if they had been able to start, they most likely wouldn't have been able to finish: you were their whole world.

Callie stole a swig of water from her girlfriend's cup as she rested against her shoulder, her blonde hair hiding her stress-ridden face. Time had passed significantly which was evident from the dark night sky and still there was no news of you. That was until Callie's eyes landed on a familiar figure pushing through the glass double doors to the operating rooms. At Callie's suddenly stiffening figure, Arizona stirred awake and bolted upright to be met just in time with Alex Karev stopping before them.

"I-Is she-" Callie began and before she could finish he had nodded his head with a sigh of relief. Arizona bounded into his arms and pulled Callie into the embrace as she pressed a grateful kiss to his cheek.

"Can we go see her?"

Alex lead them to your room, your monitor beating rhythmically, healthily. "The anaesthesia's still wearing off, she should wake up soon," he mumbled as he slid open the door. Wordlessly, the two thanked him before walking over to your bedside. Callie wrapped a hand around one of your own as Arizona moved to gently smooth over your knotted hair and blinked back a tear. Seeing you in bed, like you were, had made it all too real. They could have lost you, she could have lost you.

You squeezed your eyes before attempting to open them and your fuzzy vision landed on the dark-haired figure beside you as you squeezed her hand in yours.

"Hey, heyy- Arizona she's awake." You instantly followed Callie's line of site and were met with a sad smile. You let out a groan as you shifted in the bed.

"Alex told us what you did," Arizona paused and watched as your face fell recalling what you had done, "that was so stupid of you- how do you feel?" Classic Arizona, always a soft scolding before being followed up by something sweet.

"Like I got shot," you deadpanned before a smirk grew on your face. Arizona only shook her head lightly in reply, a trace of amusement in her actions.

"If you weren't bed-bound I'd kill you right now, dumbass," Callie huffed, though her thumb was still rubbing softly over the skin of your hand. Your smirk was quick to turn in a grin as you let out a light chuckle.

"Ow- god, don't make me laugh," you warned whole-heartedly as you watched her roll her eyes.

"She doesn't mean that- she's just worried, we both were," Arizona responded and you felt your heart drop to the pit of your stomach at her tone. You couldn't fathom the worry that they must have felt while you were in surgery and you felt guilt as the consequences of your actions. It wasn't just you anymore, you had two other, remarkable, people to take into consideration now that you were in a relationship.

"I love you both so, so much," you said earnestly and opened your arms for a hug.

"We love you too," they responded in unison and came together in your embrace. You really didn't deserve them sometimes and you were going to love them for as long as you possibly could.
