Life had finally settled into a normal rhythm and I was out back playing with Renesmee.

I had just come back from the hospital visiting Carlisle.

He was up to his neck in a new case that had popped up.

A patient had arrived today and they had no idea what was wrong with him.

They didn't think it was contagious but then again Carlisle wouldn't have been affected anyway.

We had watched the nurses trying to make him more comfortable, the lesions all over his body were making it extremely uncomfortable for him to sleep.

I was feeling rather slow, which was weird because I hadn't been tired since the day Edward had changed me.

I sat down near the swing set we had specially made for Nessie and watched her swing nearly all the way over the support bar.

"Nessie…. Be… careful…." I tried to speak but all of a sudden I couldn't get enough air.

I was freaking out because I didn't actually need to breathe now but I felt really… well… short of breathe.

I picked up the phone of a mind to call Edward but then I realized that Carlisle would probably be a better idea.

It rang only once before he picked up, "Bella," I looked over to Nessie who was watching me with worried eyes.

"Hi Carlisle." Wow even just those two short words flattened me out. "Something's… wrong." I felt a sharp pain in my head and the last thing I saw was Nessie jumping off the swing running over to me calling out my name before I fell sideways and everything went black.

CPOV:

"Well just change all of his dressings, that's all we can do for now until the test results come back." The nurse in front of me nodded and went off to complete her task. This new case was driving me nuts.

In all my years as a doctor I had never come across anything like it. His symptoms didn't match any disease that I could think of and he was responding to any of the generic cures we had been injecting him intravenously.

I ran my hands through my hair as I often did when I was agitated or nervous and took yet another look at his chart.

I was sitting down going over everything when my phone rang. The caller id told me that it was Bella so I picked up, she had just been here so I couldn't fathom why she was calling.

"Bella"

"Hi Carlisle." She greeted me. She sounded oddly breathless, very strange.

"Something's… wrong." I heard her say then there was some kind of disturbance on her end and I heard Nessie calling Bella's name.

"Nessie!" I said loudly knowing that she would hear me and pick up the phone.

"Grandpa! Something's wrong with mummy." Her voice was very worried and I needed to go to them.

"Nessie listen to me stay with your mum I'll be there in a minute. Don't move her okay?" I went to the nurse on shift and told her that something had cropped up and that I would need to leave for a while.

I bypassed my car and started running towards my house and where I knew Bella was.

I arrived in less than two minutes and called Nessie's name.

She called me over to the back yard and I rounded the corner and saw her sitting next to Bella that had collapsed and was now in what I could gather as an unconscious state.

"Nessie, I need you to do me a favor, call Edward and let him know that he needs to come home immediately." I told her as I picked up Bella and ran inside with her.

I heard Nessie outside calling her dad and telling him frantically that "mummy had collapsed and he needed to come home right away."

I put her on the couch and was immediately at a loss of what to do.

If it was a human I would check that she was breathing and if she had a pulse but as she was dead in the technical sense I couldn't do either of those things.

The only thing I could do was wait it out and see if she would wake up.

EPOV:

I was out visiting the Denali clan as I hadn't seen them since our last run in with the Volturri and I was there as a favor to Tanya.

She had asked me to come down and organize some male extracurricular activities for Eleazar as he was tying the knot with Carmen.

I was setting up the shots when my phone rang and I looked and saw that it was Nessie.

"Hi sweetie wha-,"

"Daddy quick you have to come home! Something is wrong with mum and grandpa wants you to help him."

As soon as she had finished the first sentence I was writing a note to Tanya and I was already running towards where I knew my mate was.

It took me a little over two hours running nonstop to get to forks then at least another minute or two to get too our house and I burst into the front door.

I saw Carlisle pacing across the room looking at Bella's immobile form lying on the couch.

I ran over and sat near her on the floor.

"What's wrong with her?" I begged Carlisle for information.

"I don't know Edward I've never seen anything like it and as she has no vital signs anymore I can't tell… whether…" he paused

I read his thoughts and I cried out in pain.

"You don't know whether she's alive or not??"
