"Doctor Robbins to the ER! Doctor Robbins to the ER!"

Arizona ran her fingers through her hair and swallowed. It was her first day at Seattle Grace Hospital and she was already running around the hospital like a crazy person. She pushed her pager into her pocket and began making her way towards the ER. She stopped in front of the main desk in the ER. "I was paged."

"Bed Seven, Doctor Robbins. Doctor Shepherd is waiting." The receptionist smiled.

"Thank you." Arizona smiled. She made her way to bed seven and entered through the curtain. She swallowed, her heart dropping at the sight of the patient on the bed.

The patient was a fifteen year old pregnant girl who had been beaten up.

"Has OB been paged?" Arizona asked, beginning her exam.

"Yes."

Arizona looked up and came face to face with the girl she'd met in the bar a week before... Amelia. She swallowed.

"Doctor Robbins, she's coding." A nurse said.

Arizona snapped out of her daze and went straight to work. She flattened the bed and began CPR on the patient. "Page OB again, tell them it's urgent."

The nurse nods and begins paging OB.

"What's her name?" Arizona asks, glancing toward Amelia.

"Lily." Amelia said.

Nodding her head, Arizona continues CPR.

The girl gasped for air as her heart started beating again.

"That's it, breathe Lily." Arizona says softly

Lily met Arizona's eyes, a look of panic on her face.

"Hi sweetie, is there anyone we can call?" Arizona asks, sending her a soft smile.

Lily shook her head.

"Not one person?" Arizona asks, shifting to check her stomach.

Lily shook her head.

"I'll be her person." Amelia said.

Looking up, Arizona smiles softly. "Thank you."

"I was paged?" Addison Montgomery says as she meets up with them.

"Yes, fifteen year old girl who is pregnant and was beaten up." Arizona said. "Can you check her baby?""

Addison nods and grabs the portable ultrasound. "Hi sweetheart, let's make sure this baby is okay."

The girl looked at Addison and shook her head.

"No?" Addison asks softly.

Lily looked scared. She looked like she was about to cry.

"Hey, talk to us sweetie." Arizona says softly.

Amelia took the girl's hand and gave it a gentle encouraging squeeze.

Taking a deep breath, Lily looks between them.

Amelia smiled softly. "It's okay. You're safe here."

"I-I can't go home." The fifteen year old breathes out.

"Why not?" Addison asked.

Lily looks down. "They'll hurt me again."

"Who?" Arizona asked.

"My parents." The teen responds.

Arizona turned to a nurse and whispered. "Call child services and 911."
