Prologue

We spend our lives searching for that one person or thing that makes us feel complete. We never know where we'll find or if we ever will. My name is Bella Swan and I am 28 years old. Since I can remember I have been the care taker. Taking care of my mother who was more of a sister than a parent, and then after moving to Forks, Washington, taking care of my father who sometimes forgot that there was more to life than his job. Do I regret the taking care of the two people who were supposed to take care of me? No, not in the least, but now that I am grown, on my own and away from them, I can't help but wish that I had some here to take care of me for a change.

After having graduated from Yale early in and receiving my medical license, I moved to back to Seattle, Washington to be a resident with University of Seattle Hospital's pediatric program. I love my work and I love children. I have worked here for the past 2 years and have made many friends. My patients are my life and when I come home to work it saddens me to say that I come home to an empty apartment with not even a dog or cat there to greet me.

I have felt that I would always find myself alone and would never find that person to take care of me. That was until I was diagnosed with acute leukemia with a survival rate of less than 50%. Who would have thought, me Bella Swan, MD, would end up finding the man of her dreams and then possibly not get the chance to be with them.
