Not Happenin'

by JennJ

Summary:

Love is complex, and what is even more complex is falling in love with a person
who is already involved with someone else, leaving you in a fix. This is what we
basically call the love triangle. In spite of the shape allusion, love triangles are far
more complex and can get messier when there is a fourth entrant. Either way, being
in a love triangle can be a discernible indicator of polyamory. Some knowingly get
into one while some unknowingly find themselves involved in one (Arizona/Callie/Mark)
or unaware that they are part of one (Andy/Ryan/Jack)

Chapter 1: ONE-Grey's Anatomy (Callie/Arizona/Mark Triangle)

Summary:

Arizona-Callie-Mark Sloan 🔺

Lots of angst and a break-up (Arizona returned to Seattle after a fight with her wife over the latter's refusal/
refusal to stop entertaining Mark in her bed. PROFANITY and possible smut (later).

Arizona has her position; Callie has hers...as far as Arizona was concerned the answer to including MARK SLOAN in their
lives has one answer: HARD NO. Callie argued that Mark's re-entry doesn't have to upset their dynamic, which Arizona
finds insulting and idiotic. When Callie pleaded her case Arizona countered with "I'll agree to Mark's 'visits' if I can fly
back to Seattle a few times a month...make that FOUR TIMES a month to see Carina."

"Are you drunk? I haven't had any wine so you couldn't have gotten 'high' off of my breast milk, and speaking of 'hard no's'
that most certainly qualifies. At least Mark has a reason to come to New York- he's Sofia's father."

" And to bang YOU! Somehow the irresistible McSteamy manages to find his way into my bedroom during these 'parental visits'. If
that's what you want just grow some balls for a day and a half and say so; that way I can go back to Grey's and try to win Carina
back."

"Ahhh. THERE IT IS-you need an excuse to go back to the GREAT AND WONDERFUL CARINA... VETE, PUES ! GO!
There are flights every hour to Seattle-LARGATE PUES, CULERA!"

said -the Spanish bits! I'll tell you right now to make up your mind: because there's no way I'm gonna keep tasting the Great n' Wonderful
Dr. Plastic's 'leftovers every time I go down on you. It's my own fault, though: 'bi' women want it both ways and don't give a fuck who
who or WHAT gets in the way. We have a DAUGHTER, Calliope-"

"Don't you mean that Mark and I a daughter?" Callie snarked. "One of us is gonna say something that we'll regret later,
so we should maybe take some space-"

"Seattle should be more than enough," Arizona retorted acidly.
Suddenly alarmed Callie stammered "W-W-What-you aren't saying -WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!! "ARI!"

As her wife stomped out away, Callie stood rooted to the spot; Arizona went quickly thru their shared Master bedroom and into the
adjoining powder room, where she wept for ten minutes or so. She washed her face. sighed deeply and went out to their walk-in
closet where she angrily transferred clothing and shoes into a large calf-skin leather suitcase and matching carry-on. Her wife,
teary and frowning worriedly entered then and asked quietly "Babe...where are going?"

Ari continued packing. "Please talk to me, Ari. "What -What are you doing? Let's talk about this."

The blonde added lingerie, cosmetics, and meds into her satchel and zipped it closed. "I already told you-but like always you DON'T
LISTEN; you NEVER LISTEN: Seattle. : You wanted 'space': 2,402 miles should be more than enough."

"You're just leaving: no discussion then."

"I'm very clear that you intend to keep fucking Mark, so I'll get out of your way." Aizona's cellphone chimed to announce her Uber's
arrival. "Please kiss Sofia for me and tell her that 'Mommy' loves her; wait, I forgot...'she's not mine' so I guess just say that Auntie
Ari had to go away. 'Bye Callie."

Chapter 2: TWO-Station 19 (Past Andy/Jack/Ryan; Surrera)

Summary:

Surrera + whatever that Andy/Jack/Tanner mess was

Most 'love' triangles turn out to be FRIENDSHIP/RELATIONSHIP/SITUATIONSHIP wreckers -they are messy
and rarely end well...

Explicit sex/salty language

Don't let two men fall in love with you, girls. It's not the sort of thing that ends well

-------------------------

Andrea 'Andy' Herrera, in reflecting on her romantic life before marrying her Battalion Chief, Robert Sullivan, can identify
more than one regret: her many one-night stands after a drunken night at Joe's; 'entertaining' both Ryan Tanner and Jack Gibson
in her bed (never at the same time), and returning to Jack's bed after she and Robert broke up before his promotion. She's most
ashamed of allowing herself to be shared between Tanner and Gibson. She found them both so easy to manipulate and used
their desire for her to her advantage (Robert would HAVE NEVER agreed to such an arrangement-HELL NO!!)...

She bristled when her dad said that her mother would not approve of the way she's been conducting her life, but he was 100% correct:
Elena Herrera would have been VERY disappointed, particularly in the Andy-Ryan-Jack arrangement. She believed, though, that her
Mami has been very content with her life since that dark period. She would approve of Robert and the family they've built. By no means
is their marriage perfect, but they are committed to making it work, and they made promises to each other, and to their families and friends.
"What are you thinking about", Robert asked her, looking up from his laptop.

"About how the best relationships are the ones you never saw coming", she answered, sliding close to him. "You came into my life out of
nowhere, and now you mean the world to me. You and our son."

"I love you too," he said.

"Can I tell you something?" she asked, taking a seat beside him on the sectional.

"Hmm."

"I never wanted any of this: before you, I mean. Those other two wanted 'more'...Gibson as you know proposed. In my mind, I would
be single and free forever-scratching itches as needed with no ties, no anchors. And then YOU...remember how I came out swinging
that first day? The truth is that I'd never been so...CONNECTED...felt so ATTRACTED to anyone before and it scared me."

Robert set his laptop aside and grinned. "You obviously were over THAT by the time we returned from the Cali fires!"

"By then we'd had coffee, been dancing; bonded over during our first 'near death' experience, and a second during the wildfires.
And that night in your bunk...you ruined me for other men!!"
He REALLY smiled widely this time. "Meaning?"

"You KNOW what the fuck I mean, Robert Sullivan! That big honkin' summer sausage between your legs..you could WARN a
a bitch, y'know!"

Quick as a cat he pounced on her, pressing her legs apart with his knees. "The BABY!" she squeaked, trying to muffle her
laughs.

"Here's your warning," he growled, tugging off her tank top, then bra. "Tongue", she gasped, wiggling out of her under-
clothes an jogging shorts. Robert obliged, pressing his face against her damp womanhood-carefully bathing the entire
area with warm saliva-also letting some dribble inside, aided by his nimble tongue. "NOW, Papi: I'm READY now!"

He kept teasing her for a few more minutes while he stripped himself, then positioned himself between her raised knees.
He tapped the tip of his penis against her opening more to lube it than tease her more...he leaned in to join their lips
again before pressing deeper...and deeper still. They exchange endearments waiting for her to be ready for him to go
on which he did. He built a steady rhythm, thrusting into her, again and again, with her yodeling pleasure ringing loudly
in his ears, her face a picture of beauty and abandonment right before him; he upped the tempo, ramming and pounding
his engorged rod into her and pushing her past a new brink of ecstasy into mindless abandoned depravity as she came
anew and signaling HIS hot load shooting with unstoppable finality deep inside his beautiful wife.

Chapter 3: THREE-Grey's Anatomy (Teddy and Owen)

Summary:

Teddy and Owen clear the air and make peace: and their burying the hatchet is due to a lesson Owen learned from their
In this scenario, Leo and Allison are 'aged up' to three and a half and Allison is two.

ADULT LANGUAGE

In the dark, silently weeping...ugly crying, though silently. The door cracked open and rather than try to pretend that she hadn't
been bawling into a wad of bedding she found herself unable to. OWEN ...or someone wearing 'his' scent...no, its
him. Her voice was muffled by the soaked bedding she said "If you've come to heap more scorn on me ENGAGE TARGET...I only
ask that you hand me that bottle of hydrochloric acid so that I can drink it after."

"I'm not here for that, Teds," he told her softly. "I've done enough of that lately, and I'm spent. I had the children with me last night
and watching them I learned some valuable lessons. See: Leo accidentally made his sister cry and then he surprised me by comforting
her and apologizing. She didn't hesitate; she instantly forgave him and went back to what she was doing without missing a beat. And I
realized that I haven't even TRIED to forgive you-I would have happily continued tormenting you if not for Ali's life lesson. I came to say
that I'm through punishing you for Tom and for lying about Alison."

"Do you mean that?" she whispered hopefully. "Tell me what to do."

"I do mean it. And all I need from you is to apologize one more time; that's it."

"Deceiving you is the biggest regret I ever had, and it always will be. I'm profoundly sorry for what I've done. I've loved you for a long
time and although my PTSD had a lot to do with my actions I won't use it as an excuse. You mean the world to me; I'm full of despair
whenever I contemplate us and being together. OWEN: PLEASE, PLEASE forgive me. I promise to be better."

"Thank you. C'mon; let's go get our Little Ones."

Chapter 4: FOUR-Station 19; Grey's Anatomy 'cross over' (PAST Hughes/Mayhorn;

Summary:

When Highes tried to let Mayhorn down gently he reacted in a less than optimal way: VERY MUCH LESS THAN OPTIMAL...
TW for domestic violence and injury.

Miranda Bailey

Maya Bishop

Andrew DeLuca

Carina DeLuca

Jack Gibson (mentioned

Andy Herrera-Sullivan

Victoria Hughes

David Mayhorn

Lucas Ripley

Amelia Shepherd

Robert Sullivan

Ben Warren (mentioned)

--------

"DAMN, Vic!" Andy Herrera said, her eyes popping (she did that 'eye pop' on purpose to cover her 'OWN' secret-she and their
Battalion Chief's 'under the radar' love story).

"How will he react, do you think?" Maya Bishop has her 'own' secret: she's screwing fellow Lieutenant JACK GIBSON, who was once
engaged to ANDY... her BEST FRIEND ANDY...

"I know that he and I make no sense together and hell is gonna rain down on us in the future but I can't let that stop me."

Andy raised her wineglass, inviting the others to join her in a toast: "Here's to taking wild ass chances that will probably end up in
DISASTER...but maybe not!"

As she predicted David Mayhorn is less than thrilled about the news that Vic's decision has been made: LUCAS RIPLEY
(whom David knows only as RL) is her choice and he is the odd man out. He thought that she was joking and immediately
tried to undress her; she was forced to yell "HANDS OFF 'Second Choice'!"

"What the fuck did you just call me?" he asked, his neck turning red.

"I'm sorry...but keep your hands off unless I 'signal' that I want sex or verbally say so...you have been around long enough to
recognize when I wanna get fucked, and announcing that I've chosen between you and another man is not that signal. There's
no more 'sharing': that's over." In a more conciliatory tone, she said "I don't mean to be an ass about this, Mayhorn; I really don't.
I just...

And Mayhorn HIT HER, so hard that she lost consciousness...

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Chief Of Medicine Miranda Bailey approached her Neurology Chief Amelia Shepherd at a much brisker pace than her usual: her husband
Ben Warren and his Station 19 mates colleagues have lots of skin in the game relating to Victoria Hughes. "I KNOW, Chief: I've assigned her
to my service and I'm on top of it. She suffered a concussion and a deep cranial contusion, which I'm monitoring. Ummm-her parents were
here this morning and Chief Ripley is here now. Maybe Ben should have whomever Ripley is close to STAY close: he's furious and itching for
payback against Her attacker."

"Alright. I'll call him."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Rip, I want you to listen to me, Man: if you are hell-bent on getting Mayhorn then so be it. He's already skipped town but if we need to
we can run him down...if it was Andy I know what I'd do but I wouldn't be a friend if I didn't recommend against it. You're the Chief of SFD,
man. I say we contract it out -the 'locating' part. We know people., yeah?"

Ripley glanced at his slumbering girlfriend and the rage began to build again. "I hear you, Sul-I get it but seeing her like this is fucking
INFURIATING! Her mom can't stop crying and I can't stop kicking myself for pushing her into his orbit"-

"No you don't!" Sullivan whisper-shouted. "No. You. Don't! You had to consider the reality that you are her boss' boss' boss' boss; you
had to consider the optics for both of you. I DEFINITELY get that. Look...Mayhorn will pay. You have my word."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Che vigliacco ! said Carina DeLuca. "What a coward! He is that very large fireman from station number 23, yes? He is at least
half a meter taller and forty kilos heavier than she! Poor Vic!"

"It's a real shame. I hear that the guy left town fast and the whole FD is enraged-they want to kill him!", said her brother Andrew.

"That is very drastic, Andrea."

"O almeno fargli qualche danno fisico -maybe at least do him some physical damage; maybe not kill him."

Chapter 5: FIVE-Walker (CW)/Valor (CW) (Micki Ramierez.Trey Barnett; Nora Madani.Ian Porter)

Summary:

A 'mash-up' of Walker (2021 version) and Valor (canceled by the CW after one season): Micki Ramirez found herself 'under siege' from Her Ranger Partner's good friend Hoyt Rawlins, who refused to take no for an answer (even after Micki advised
him that she was with Trey and not interested; even after Walker had a word with him...she found allies close to home (childhood friend Nora Madani, an Army pilot, and Nora's fiance Ian Porter).

Notes:

Eso no sucede!-that's not happenin!

Hoyt Rawlins is but two away from plucking Micki's LAST NERVE...for the past few weeks (since her Ranger Partner Cordell Walker
secured his conditional release) he's actively and publicly pursued her, while also low-key sexually harassing her friend Nora Madani.
When he slouched away for a quick trip to the 'Men's' Micki quickly dialed Walker's mobile: "HEY: didn't you talk to your pal about
constantly trying to get me into bed?! You said that you would..."

"Hold it! I-I ah, DID have a talk with him but Hoyt...he follows his own drum-beat, Mick," Walker interrupted. "Always has...his position is
he'll eventually wear you down: that's his M.O."

"It's not workin' with me and even less with my friend NORA...he's after her too...Cordi, Trey's coming back in four days or so...if he does
it with him around your friend's gonna lose some teeth...just sayin'."

"Copy that...all I can say is I hope that it doesn't come to that but if it does it's Hoyt's own fault."

At the same moment that Hoyt swaggers back Ian Porter walked in, and after a quiet discussion with Geri he made a beeline for the corner
of the bar where Micki's seated with Trey, Army Capt. Ian Porter, and Ian's significant other, Warrant Officer Nora Madani (also Army. Trey saw
him coming and snarled "BACK OFF", MAN!." The former Army Ranger/Medica walked over to confront Micki's nemesis. At 6' 2" he towers over
Hoyt and his muscular build add to the aura of intimidation he meant to project.

Hoyt leaned casually on the bar and drawled (to Micki), "This Trey?"

She smirked and shrugged, then stood and walked over to Trey, putting one arm around his waist and kissing his cheek, wiping it off
affectionately with her thumb.

Holding Trey's gaze for a beat longer than necessary, Hoyt directed his next comment to Micki: "Another time."

"Eso no sucede!" Micki laughed, fist-bumping her man.

Notes:

I have re-written some of this fic since it's publication date (8/31/21)

Chapter 6: SIX-Walker-CW (Micki Ramirez/Trey Barnet; Cassie Perez/Trey Barnett)

Summary:

Part one of the fic is season two (the episode 'Douglass Fir'--the episode where Micki and Trey decide to break up
bc of Micki's mental health--a result of the trauma she experienced during the undercover mission in Del Rio, TX).
It is an AU with a pinch of canon.

"Remember Kabul?"

"How could I FORGET -thanks for reminding me, Micki! Very helpful."

"I'm saying that...without Kabul, you and I never meet...and what that would mean," she explained. "I don't meet you I never fall
in love, and that's...SCARY."

Trey is triumphant: "Never, NEVER, huh! Alright-OK! Trey Barnett has some palanca-this is the kinda leverage a brotha
wants!" He saw the look on her face and apologized. "I apologize, Linda. I know that you haven't felt entirely loved or valued in this
world and I shouldn't joke about it. It isn't funny."

" In the dirt, all I had to worry about was staying alive, and with you by my side, I didn't have to worry about THAT anymore...that was
such a relief, Trey. You backed me y--you were always there. But...um"-

"Del Rio."

"I'm...sorry, Baby; being down there--the memories...it's hard to explain," Micki whispered.

Trey said simply "Garrison."

"He...when he DIED--yes that was part of it," she admitted. "I won't lie: when I say him, and the church where we were supposed
to tie the knot and the painting...old buried feelings started to come back--STARTED TO COME BACK, Trey."

Trey stared at her evenly before he remarked "I could swallow that except for that painting you hung on the wall where every
DAY that I leave our bedroom where we SLEEP-BONE! I have to SEE IT EVER FUCKIN' DAY and watch you sneaking peeks at
it whenever my back is turned: "The one who got away."

"The Great and Wonderful WALKER slipped up. spilled that you muttered that when you met again."

"Oh, fuck."

"YEAH--' Oh, fuck'. So yeah...San Antonio sounds like a good idea."

"So...we're not going to at least TRY to get back to where we were?"

Sadly, Trey answered "The moment you hung that picture you 'ended' us. I love you Mick-T'm in love with you. BUT-i'll be
damned if I'll compete with a ghost."

Micki sniffled, wiped her eyes and nose, and said "I didn't think and I'm sorry...I fucked up and didn't even consider how
that painting might affect you. I never should have gone to Del Rio-James and Walker tried to warn me but you know ME...
please forgive me, Amor, and at least promise to try to keep talking to me: even while I am down there. Will you try?"

"Sure."

\\\\\

Six Months Later...

"Babe...BABE!" Cassandra 'Cassie' Perez called the bathroom she and Trey share. "We're gonna be late if we don't move 'it'!

Remind me again who wanted 'round 2' earlier?" he called back jovially.

Chapter 7: SEVEN-I, Robot (Movie) (Cavin and Spooner)

Summary:

'What you're thinking: NOT HAPPENIN' ...IT'S JUST NOT'... Del Spooner

Now that she and Spooner expect a child Dr. Susan Calvin worried more and more about the police Detective simply
walking away. Her intellect told her that such an eventuality is no possibility at all, yet the doubts persist. When Spooner
arrived home she immediately asked him "Are you leaving me, Spooner? Please just tell me so that I can prepare myself..."

"CALVIN...I had a really...(a deep breath)...I'd love to talk this over with you after I've had a few beers if we could do that, please?
FOR REAL-if we do this now somethin's gonna be said..."

"Alright," Calvin said quietly. "You're right-come sit and I'll get your beer."

A little while later he said "What you're thinking: NOT HAPPENIN'. I could never do that-leave either of you. I would think that you
would know that by now."

"I DO; I do know that it's just...you have been a bachelor for many years, and I have never had another person living in the same
home as I...are we deluding ourselves that we can properly parent a child? And what child wants a ROBOT for a mother? I-?"

"Calvin..."

"Yes, Spooner?"

"Do you want a child?"

"MORE THAN ANYTHING," she replied firmly.

"Then let's DO THIS. I BELIEVE IN YOU. I TRUST YOU."

" I trust you also. I love you, Spooner. I have never loved another and I give you my heart. I will not let you down."

"DEL"

"YES- DEL ."
