The midnight shift at the hospital was always quiet. In a small town like Forks Washington there was never much excitement in the emergency room. The occasional bar fights victims, kids with the flu, and a broken bone or two from slipping on the ice in the winter. Usually it was pretty quiet not that Edward Cullen minded the quiet. He supposed it was better than the rape victims and gunshot wounds he saw on a nightly basis while still in medical school studying in Seattle. He would take the quiet over the hustle and bustle of the city.

"Well Mrs. Webber it seems as if little Andrew here has gotten himself a bad case of poison ivy." The young doctor with perfect teeth, a lopsided smile, hair the color of copper, and eyes as green as emeralds jotted down on his clipboard. "I think some antibiotics just to be safe from all the scratching his had been doing and some anti-itching lotion to relieve the discomfort will do the trick. He should be fine in a couple of days as long as he doesn't try to pick you some flowers that are actually poison ivy."

The brunette mother smiled and let out a deep breath. "Thank you so very much Dr. Cullen. I was afraid it was something worse and I looked up his symptoms online and there were so many horrible things I just had to be sure. Are you sure that we shouldn't run a blood panel just to be sure?"

Edward coughed in to his hand to cover his laughter. Mrs. Webber was a very sweet woman, but she did have a tendency to overreact. He couldn't blame her considering that she had four kids and three of them were under the age of ten. Of course the three youngest were boys and they were always getting in to things they shouldn't and a mother would worry. Add on top of that having access to the world wide web where you could read anything and well people could tend to overreact. Being a doctor he was used to dealing with protective parents.

Tearing out the prescription he had just written Edward handed it to her. "I am pretty sure that would all be unneeded so how about we try it my way and if he gets any worse or doesn't improve by Monday you bring him back in to see me and we will go from there?"

She nodded and thanked him again before grabbing her son's hand and heading out. They both waved as they exited and before he even got a chance to sit down and catch his breath the emergency room doors opened to reveal Edward's longtime friend Emmett Cullen and Emmett's fiancée Rosalie come in carrying a very unconscious tanned woman who was also very pregnant and covered in blood. The blood was so thick it had turned her white sundress red. Immediately Edward switched to doctor mode as he called for a gurney and made his way over to his friends taking the women from Emmett's arms. She was light, much to light for someone this far along in their pregnancy. He could see the bones of her cheeks and the hollows under her eyes. It was clear that this girl whoever she may be was malnourished and if the bruises were telling the story she was also severely abused.

"What happened?" The question left his mouth automatically as Edward lay her down on the hospital bed and checked to see if her pupils were fixed and dilated. Next he pressed his finger to her pulse point and was relieved to find one even though it was weak. "Was she unconscious when you found her?"

Rosalie who every described as a Barbie come to life spoke up and answered for her fiancée. "We were heading home from dinner with Jasper and Alice and saw her on the side of the road. She was awake for a few minutes, but she didn't say anything. I think she was in some sort of shock. It looks as if she has been running for a while. That is all we can tell you. Should we go back and check the area for a baby? I mean she was or is pregnant right? What if she was a runaway who had her baby and dumped it in the woods? I've seen stuff like that on television."

A quick check ensured Edward that the baby was still safe in the womb. "She is still pregnant Rosalie so you don't have to worry about that. If you could stick around and answer some questions for the police and the nurse it would be great. I have work to do, but I will keep you updated on her condition. Was there anything we could use to identify her?"

Emmett who resembled a professional wrestler shrugged his meaty shoulders and shook his head. "No man, there wasn't anything I saw to tell us who she was. She didn't have a purse and I doubt she is hiding identification anywhere on her body. Do you want me to go back to the area we found her and start asking around?"

Edward shook his head as he injected an IV in to her arm. "Wait until Chief Swan gets here since I am sure he will have questions for you and I am sure he will want to question people. I have to get to work if we want to keep her alive. Rosalie I need you to call Alice and tell her to get down here. We may need her skills as a therapist when this poor girl wakes up since we have no idea what happened to her. I doubt whatever story she has to tell contains puppies and rainbows."

TBC…

AN: I know that I shouldn't have started another story, but I thought it was alright since I did finish a lot of my other stories and this idea has been rolling around in my head for a long time. I am not sure where this story is going to go since I only have the basic outline so go ahead and throw me your ideas.
