I don't own twilight

Bella drove down the roads of her childhood, the lush green trees that outlined the land of her birth. She was now 28years old and she was headed home for the first time since she was fourteen, she was headed home to Forks Washington with a medical degree from Yale in hand and a mission. She was determined that no family would every go through the trauma she went through at the age of fourteen. That another mother wouldn't die because of lack of proper medical care.

She'd been barley fourteen that cold dreary day in November that day that Sarah Black had died. Sarah had been like a mother to her. Gentle and strict all rolled into one. Bella's mother and father had split when Bella was only five and she'd been left in the care of her father the police chief of Forks. Her mother never was a child person. Oh sure Renee loved her there was no doubt about that but Renee had issue's taking care of herself let alone a young child so it had been decided that it was the most in Bella's interest for her to live in Forks. Of course she hadn't really stayed in Forks that much. Mainly she grew up in the reservation in La Push. Her dad's best friend Billy Black lived there with his wife and three kids. The twins were older then Bella by four years and Jacob was younger than her by two. The two year age difference didn't seem to matter though her and Jacob seemed to be inseparable from the moment he'd been born.

Her mind wondered back through the years. The years she spent with Rachel, Rebecca and Jacob along with the other reservation kids especially her other best friend Leah Clearwater. She'd missed them terribly well she was gone but she couldn't face it in La push anymore and if she was in Forks she couldn't escape La push. The sights that had assaulted her as she walked onto La Push land still haunted her to this day.

She was fourteen that November day and Sarah had been eight weeks pregnant. The baby had been a complete surprise to everyone Jacob was ten the twins were sixteen but everyone was so excited for this new baby. The day had started off like any normal weekend on the reservation. Bella Jacob and Leah had been hanging out around the Black household when Sarah had suddenly collapsed and the three of them had raced to hero only to see blood pulling around her. Bella was in a panic but she tried to keep a cool head. She'd ordered Jacob to get Sam, he had a car and was old enough to drive. She ordered Leah to get the twins and then she tried to prop Sarah up getting her off the floor.

Charlie where fishing and out of reach, Sam had rushed through the door and looked at the scene around him. He'd quickly scooped Sarah into his arms and rushed her into his car well everyone else got into Rebecca and Rachel's car. Sam knew that he couldn't get her to Forks there wasn't time. He rushed her to the tiny La Push hospital hoping against hope she was ok. She hadn't been ok though. She'd bleed out from an ectopic pregnancy and because there wasn't an OBGYN on staff in La Push or even Forks there was nothing that could be done for her. She'd died when something could have prevented it. If more doctors were willing to practice in tiny towns Bella felt that less women would suffer. Less people in general would suffer, as it was now women from Forks or La Push had to go to Port Angeles for care, or if it was a desperate case to Seattle. Bella wasn't willing to let this pattern continue.

After Sarah's death she'd fled she'd fled her ghost and moved to Arizona to live with her mother but the minuet she'd turned sixteen she'd graduated high school early and then she'd been granted admittance to Yale on a full scholarship and she'd followed her dreams. She'd graduated pre-med and then followed that into Yale med school. She had graduated from there and did her residency in Arizona she know was a fully certified OBGYN and she even specialized in a few things. As soon as her residency was over she'd kissed her mother goodbye and called La Push and Forks she'd work mainly in La Push but be on call for both hospital's this was her dream her goal and it was finally coming true.

Both hospitals had been grateful to get her. They knew she could have gone anywhere and her credentials were impeccable. So here she was once again on the road into Forks. She'd called her father up and he'd said she could stay with him until she found a place. She pulled into the drive way of her childhood home and looked at it nothing seemed to have changed. She smiled as her father came out the door.

"Hello Bells. "He hugged her. "Its good to have you back."

"It's good to be back daddy." She smiled and hugged him back. He carried her stuff into the house and she got settled.

"I'm really proud of you Dr. Swan," Charlie beamed at his daughter. He knew how hard Sarah's death had been on his baby girl and he was so proud that she'd taken a tragedy like that and turned it into something positive.

"Thanks Dad," she hugged him again and grabbed her keys. "I need to go get set up at Forks general and then I'm headed down to La Push to get settled in there." She kissed his cheek. "I'll be back late."

He nodded as he watched her go. She slide into her car and made her way to the hospital. After getting everything settled for her to start work she made her way down towards La Push her heart was pounding her hands were sweating and she started to have flashbacks. She passed the diner. She passed a mechanics shop that had a sign over it reading Jacob Black Mechanics. She smiled she still talked to Jacob almost daily so even though she hadn't been in Washington in fourteen years. She still knew that Sam and Leah were married that Leah was pregnant and that Rachel was married to Paul and Jacob had opened a mechanics shop she'd heard about Billy's accident when she was sixteen and she'd almost rushed back then but she didn't should couldn't the pain was still too fresh at that time. Then Harry Clearwater had died when she was seventeen she hadn't gone back then either but Leah had come to her. Leah had stayed with Bella and Renee for a month after her father's death. Leah's pregnancy was the reason Bella had rushed to get her residency done and get to La push. Leah would now be six weeks along and Bella's first order of business was to get her in for a full work up.

She pulled into the hospital parking lot and walked through the tiny halls. She found the doctor in charge. "Hello Dr. Emerson," she held out her hand. "I'm Dr. Swan."

"Oh Dr. Swan," he took her hand. "We are so happy to have you here you have no idea.

"It's my pleasure Dr. Emerson." She followed him down the hall and she filled out her paperwork got her schedule and collected a beeper. She was determined to be on call 24/7. She left the hospital and made her way to Billy's house. The flash back getting more vivid as she got closer to the house she'd spent so much of her first fourteen years. She pulled into the driveway and looked at the house. She parked her car and got out the gravel crunching under her feet. She made her way up the porch and she knocked on the door. Tears stung her eyes and she wanted to bolt but she had to do this had to go in there she wanted to see Billy.

"Come in," she heard his gruff voice through the wood and she turned the handle letting herself into the house she felt like she'd once again stepped back into time, she couldn't look over at the kitchen. If she did she was almost sure she'd still see a crimson pool of blood there. So instead she focused on the man in front of her. Sitting in his wheel chair.

"Hello Billy," she smiled at him as tears sparkled in her eyes.

"Bella," he breathed. "Oh Bella is it really you,"

"Its really me she leaned over and hugged the older man who was like a second father to her.

"Oh Bella honey you don't know how good it is to see you, sweet girl they pulled away from each other and he wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. He wheeled back into the living room and she sat on the couch.

"its good to see you to Billy," she squeezed his hand and smiled over at him.

"So you're a doctor I see does that mean I have to call you Dr. Swan now," he joked.

"Never Billy I'll always be Bella to you,"

"Bella…" he stopped seeming not to be able to get the words out. She waited patiently for him. "I'm so proud of you and I know you could go anywhere and practice medicine," she started to speak and he held his hand up to stop her. "No I know you can but I also know that your trying to atone for something that wasn't your fault. Bella Sarah's death wasn't your fault, I love that you want to help other women but you have to stop punishing yourself. You couldn't have done anything and as proud as I am of you, you pushed yourself so hard and I heard rumor your on call 24/7 please Bella for me take care of yourself," he pleaded. "I can't lose you to and neither can Jake or Leah,"

Tears were now pouring down her cheeks. "Ok Billy," she breathed "I promise."

Just then the door opened and they heard a voice. "Hey dad I'm home who's care is in the driveway?" Jacob had pulled in and noticed a strange car in parked next to the old truck he had he was curious as to who could be here. He walked through the door and saw here sitting there next to his father Bella. He hadn't seen her in fourteen years not since the day after his mothers funeral.

"Bella," he breathed her face looked up at him and there gazes locked the world seemed to stand still for both of them he noticed the tears in her eyes and wanted to kiss them away. She noticed the pained and joyful look on his face and wanted to hold him tight.

Billy watched this with interest what he'd always known would happen had finally came to pass. Jacob had imprinted on Bella. This was even more proof in his eyes that Bella belonged there with them.
