This is a new story I decided to write...its different for me. I ususally like to stay true to the original story's essence, but decided to give a story where all the Cullen's are human. Please let me know your thoughts.

Chapter 1

Bella walked into the hospital juggling her coffee and her briefcase, while also trying to go through the itinerary for the day. She was the top surgeon in the whole western states. She moved to Seattle from Forks where she grew up with her dad Charlie. She graduated from college in the top of her class. Most people would describe her as hard working, determined, and undeniably talented.

She pressed the up button for the elevator. She pulled out her file on her first patient of the day. Age 34...in for a heart transplant. She shook her head. So young. The elevator dinged and she closed the file and walked in. She immediately noticed the tall bronze haired man in the back corner. Odd that she noticed him she usually doesn't take notice of such things. She shook her head to try to shake the thoughts away. The elevator made its way up slowly. She couldn't resist the urge to look over her shoulder at the man. She glanced back and their eyes met. He smiled at her and she forgot how to breath. His smile was dazzling! Wow, she would have to keep an eye on this one. The elevator dinged again and the doors opened. Some people got off and the doors closed again, and up up they went. Come on, Come on...two floors left...one. Ding. She walked hastily out the elevator and went the straight to her office and shut the door. She haphazardly placed her things on her chair, put her patient file on the desk and plopped down on her chair.

What is wrong with me? I never notice men! Not that I don't like them, I do but I need to get to work. I glance at the clock. Crap I'm late. I scramble out of the chair and grab my files and dash out the door. I make my way down the hall, and into the room of my first patient.

"Good morning Mr. Herondale. How are you this feeling?" I give him a warm smile.

"Oh, you know just waiting for a new heart. You know I'm also waiting for a new girlfriend too would you like to take care of that for me as well?"

She laughed. "Now Mr. Herondale. As much as I would love that you know it isn't possible. If I did that then you wouldn't have anyone to give you your new heart, and our time together would be far to short. Now, do you have any questions before we prep you for surgery?"

"No, I don't lets just get this over with." He grimaced. Bella knew he was apprehensive about this surgery. He didn't have any family and knew that it would be tough for him. And a long recovery. He would have to spend his recovery at a friends house. If he couldn't find a friend then he would have to go to a assisted living home.

"Are you sure your OK with doing this Mr. Herondale? I can go over everything with you again if you would like." I offered softly reaching to take his hand which was currently busy grasping his other hand until his knuckles were white. He looked at me with his eyes teary. Oh, please don't cry...when patients cry it makes it so much harder not to get to attached. I'm already getting attached as it is.

"No, thank you I'm OK. Just nerves thats all." He offered a shaky smile.

"Would you like something to take the edge off until we can get the anesthesiologist here? It will just help with the nerves."

"Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Thank you." He truly sounded relieved.

"Ok, I'll go get a nurse to get that for you and when I get back I have a couple more questions for you OK?" He nodded and I left to go to the nurses station.
"Rosalie can you please get Mr. Herondale 5cc's of Lorazepam. Help take the edge off until the anesthesiologist can get here."

"Of course Dr. Swan." Rosalie answered. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Have the number for a local assisted living home ready just in case Mr. Herondale hasn't found anyone to take care of him while he recovers. Thank you Rose." I turned to head back to the room. I walked in to see him on the phone. I turned to leave to give him privacy.

"No, its OK, Dr. Swan. Come in. Yes, I understand Robert. No don't worry, I'll try Peter. You too goodbye." He hung up the phone and turned to me. "I had a suspicion one of those questions you wanted to ask me was if I had somewhere to stay while I recovered. The answer as of now is no, but I have a couple more people to call, so can you give me a little more time?"

I smiled. "An hour and not a minute more. Then its off to surgery for you sir. I do hope you are able to find someone." I smiled again. "Now, if you will excuse me I have one more stop to make before we meet again. So until then Mr. Herondale. I bid you farewell." My silliness seemed to work it brought the light back into his bright blue eyes. I smiled and nodded at him and made to leave when he called me back. I turned to look at him again. His eyes were teary once more.

"Thank you Dr. Swan. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you." He said huskily.

"Mr. Herondale, it truly is my pleasure." I turned to leave before he could see the moisture in my eyes, but not before Rosalie caught it. She smiled at me gently.

"The on call room is empty." She whispered. I nodded, and made my way there. I walked in and shut the door. OK, I'm defiantly involved now. I walked over to the bed and sat down. I looked over to the clock on the wall. Only 8 am. UGH! Its going to be a long day. I didn't even want to think about how tonight would go. I was on call. I took a deep breath closed my eyes and counted to ten. OK, just focus on what you need to do next. Go find Dr. Carstairs and then head to scrub in for Mr. Herondales surgery. I felt calmer having a plan in place. I stood up and walked to the door reached for the handle when it flew open and hit me square in the face.

"UGH! OUCH!" I said with fervor. Letting a few swear words slip out as well. I grabbed my nose which was now bleeding. I took a step back to let the idiot who hit me in. I turned to grab a handful of Kleenex from the nearby table. I turned to meet my offender only to be brought up short. It was the cute bronze haired man from the elevator.

Well, there it is...I hope that you liked it. Not a bad start I think. Please review and let me know what you think. I was thinking of adding a few characters from the clockwork series into this story as well if you noticed. If your not familiar with the series I encourage you to read it, Its a great read! :)
