It had been a long day for Arizona Robbins. Another day, another death. It would never get easy. She thought back to the day Wallace died. He was supposed to be eleven and instead he ended up in the morgue. It also happened to be her birthday and it had been disasterous. One she hated parties and the other she was grieving. So, she hadn't been in the mood to celebrate. As the years passed birthdays became less of a tradition for her. However, when it came to kids like Wallace, they had all the reason to celebrate. They ran on limited time. Arizona had all the time in the world and she dedicated it to saving as many lives as she could.
A sigh escaped her moist lips as the cold air nipped at her. She hurried across the roadway and into Joe's. The warm air greeted her and calmed her slightly as she made her way over to the bar. "The usual Joe" she told him and pulled herself onto the barstool. "Torres?" he asked and poured her a martini. "Working for the rest of the night." He nodded and she sipped at her drink. "I know this is none of my business but are you alright?" Arizona shrugged, "Just the usual day at Seattle Grace. You save some and lose some." She didn't say anymore. Tomorrow was her brother's anniversay. The day he died. The day the world stopped spinning for her. She wouldn't talk about it. Not even Callie knew about it. "Here's to life, death, and whatever comes after that."

Addison couldn't explain her mood.Ever since Mark's daughter had come to Seattle she felt off.Maybe it was that she was treating Sloan Riley and Sloan happened to be Mark's daughter and she was about to make Mark a grandfather.Addison hated that she was childless and boyfriendless and now Mark had an eighteen year old daughter and a twenty four year old girlfriend.Addison had never felt more alone than she felt right now.
She crossed the street and walked into Joe's.Thankfully it was still cold enough for a hot buttered rum and that was what she ordered as she slid into a barstool in front of Joe. It was then that she saw Arizona.Arizona looked down which was a surprise to Addison. Addison hoped that she wasn't fighting with Callie.Addison knew that the only other reason to feel lousy was because of a patient death"Rough day?"Addison asked,not really expecting an answer.

Arizona was pulled from her lingering thoughts. She turned to see Addison Montgomery. A small smile tugged on the ends of her lips and she nodded, "Pretty much" she told the redhead and ran her finger over the rim of the glass. "You save some and lose some. We try are hardest. Some days we don't feel like we did enough." Ari tapped her glass to signal another drink from Joe. She was drinking for a lot of reasons tonight. She was drinking for the patients she had to watch die and the ones that were still holding on somehow. She was drinking because tomorrow was the anniversary of her brother's death. Somehow she would have to push that all into the back of her head. She couldn't allow it to eat her tomorrow. She had to stay strong. Somehow.
"What about you? Next drink....it's on me." Her drink was demolished in seconds. No one had ever seen Arizona hammer down drinks so quickly. She wasn't a heavy drinker. She had a few drinks here and there but not enough to get her insanely drunk. Honestly, she wasn't caring at the moment. She wanted to feel something other than the lousy feeling she had right now.

Addison was surprised that Arizona was even answering her.When Arizona spoke,Addison nodded knowing that it was true.Addison too had to deal with the deaths of mothers and babies. She was just glad that no one had died on her watch today.She was sure that if somoeone had died today she would be drinking right alongside Arizona.Addison still hated losing patients and it wasn't something that went away after a set period of time of practicing medicine.Addison was worried about Arizona but she knew that Callie was working tonight so Addison would have to keep an eye on the pediatric surgeon.
When Arizona told her that Addison's next drink was on her,Addison ordered a second buttered rum even if she wasn't finished with her first one"I am treating my ex lover's illegitimate daughter.She's about to make him a grandpa and here I am alone.Childless and husbandless."Even since Sloan had come around,Addison had been feeling old.Being alone during the holiday's hadn't helped matters.

"You're not alone, Addison" Arizona told her. "I mean I understand your definition of alone but you have people who care." She finished off her drink. "You have people who love you and who will stick by your side. Life has unexpected turns. Maybe this will be your lucky year. Maybe you will find Mr. Right. Don't give up. If I was single and a man...just saying...I would totally go after you. There are many good things about you. You are beautiful. You have an amazing personality. You are a great doctor. You have a story to you. You are a strong and independent woman. Don't forget that." Arizona was known to ramble in a few situations. She would ramble when she was angry and also when she was drinking. The blonde was already on her third drink of the night.
"So....don't give up. Something great is bound to come your way." Arizona smiled at her and knocked back the next drink. She nearly fell backwards upon doing so but caught herself. "Dr. Robbins, I think that is enough for you. Do you need me to call a cab?" Arizona scoffed and shook her head. "I'll walk."

Addison couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Arizona's rambling. Addison had no idea that Arizona could be such a rambling mess when she was drunk.She was inclined to take everything Arizona said with a grain of salt because Arizona was drunk and her words likely couldn't be trusted.Addison watched as Arizona knocked back another drink and then nearly fell in the process.When Joe asked if Arizona wanted him to call a cab and Arizona refused,Addison smiled"I'll make sure she gets home safely."Addison promised Joe.Even if she had to walk the blonde home herself.

"Off you go" Joe told Arizona. The blonde pouted but realized that she did need to get home. She had allowed herself to drink one to many. Drinking never solved anything. "Okay" she mumbled and eased herself off the chair. She managed to button up her jacket. "I can get home by myself." Joe shook his head, "No. Addison said she would see to it that you got home safetly. There is no way out of it, Robbins. Have a good night. Make sure you take some asprin before you go to bed." Arizona nodded and leaned against the bar. She waited for Addison. Boy, she hoped that Callie wouldn't ask any questions. Of course, the latina wouldn't be home until much later. They always had different schedules. Lately, they had been having small cat fights. It was over the stupidest things. The fights were due to tiredness and other things. They didn't really mean what they said. It was just rubbish. Arizona had to sit back down as the room was spinning for her. God, she shouldn't have drank so much. It was ridiculous and very unlike her.

Addison paid for her drinks and then got off of the barstool.She grabbed Arizona's arm to steady her because the last thing she wanted was the perky blond taking a tumble and hitting her head on the bar floor which wasn't exactly clean"Stand up Arizona."Addison gently coaxed the blond as she watched Arizona sit back down.Addison hoped that Callie wouldn't think that anything was going on between them.Addison was simply helping Arizona out.Nothing more.

Arizona managed to pull herself from the barstool. She swayed side to side for a few seconds before Addison helped to steady her. The drunk blonde leaned into the redhead and grumbled a few things. She was slightly embarassed. She could feel all eyes on her as they headed for the door of the bar. She could hear a few people whispering about how Arizona had gotten drunk tonight. 'Great' she thought to herself. Callie was going to find out about this and really have a pep talk with her. "Can tonight get any worse?" she asked and shook her head. Arizona wobbled slightly in her heels and nearly lost her balance a few times. She was drunk, depressed, and just wanting to go to bed. She wanted to hide underneath the covers and sleep tomorrow away. If only she could do such a thing.

There was a reason that Addison did not like the nurses. Their gossipy selves really drove Addison crazy. She helped Arizona out of the bar wishing that she could do something to make Arizona forget that people were now talking about her"Do you want me to take you home or should we go to my place?"Addison asked. She wasn't sure if Cristina was home so maybe Arizona couldn't get into the apartment.Addison was living in the hotel again until escrow closed on her new house.Addison couldn't wait to move into that house.

Arizona was confused for a moment. She was trying to comprehend what Addison was asking. "Umm..." she mumbed and paused. She pursed her lips together and seemed to zone out. Obviously, she was too drunk to even make a decision. "I think...Cristina is still at work and I accidently left my key in my locket. So, it's going to be awhile. Besides, I bet Cristina is going to get some action after work...if you know what I mean?" Arizona giggled slightly at that. In her drunken state, Arizona never ceased to crack a joke or something dirty. Of course, she usually never said anything dirty to people unless it was Callie. However, the Latina woman was still working tonight, unfortunately. So she had to say it to another person and this person happened to be Addison Montgomery.

Okay so Addison would be taking the perky blonde to her hotel room.Addison was sure that the nurses would have a field day with that.Addison would have to make sure that she called Callie when they got to the apartment.Just so Callie knew that Arizona was with her.Listening to Arizona,Addison sighed"Yes I have a feeling your girlfriend's roommate is probably pretty busy right now.So I'll take you to my hotel room.We'll call Callie from there."Addison told Arizona.Thankfully Addison was no where near as drunk as Arizona was right now.

Arizona could only smile widely at Addison. She swayed back and forth as they headed towards Addison's hotel room. A few times Arizona nearly tripped over herself. Luckily, she was able to regain her balance and keep herself from slamming face first into the hard cement. "Snow" she commented as a few flakes drifted to the ground. Her gaze fell upwards as she stared up at the dark sky. "I think were going to get...oomph." She wasn't looking where she was going and ended up knocking herself and Addison to the ground. She had a hold on the redhead because the ground had been moving way too much and she couldn't walk without making some stupid move.

There was never any snow in California so Addison was glad to be back in Seattle. She had been hoping that Arizona and she would make it back to the hotel without anyone falling,but when Arizona fell,she pulled Addison down with her.Addison felt her head slam against the concrete and she hoped that it was just a simple head scrape"I think we are going to get snow."Addison murmured as she looked up at the sky.They needed to get up,but Addison wasn't ready to attempt to stand yet.

"Oww...shit" she muttered under her breath and rested her hand on her forehead. Arizona stared up at the sky as a single snow flake tickled her nose. She scrunched her nose up slightly and managed to sit up. "Sorry about that. I think I was too lost in the sky and the excitement of snow." Arizona turned and looked at Addison. "You're head alright?" The blonde manuevered slightly and ended up straddling Addison. "Let me check if your bleeding anywhere or anything." From what she could tell, Addison had a bump on the side of her forehead but other than that...no bleeds. "You're all good, Pippy."
