Chapter 2: New Friends

Rosalie sighed as she walked down the stairs from her apartment. "Mademoiselle Hale! Mademoiselle Hale!" A woman called. Rosalie stopped as the woman came down the stairs with her cell phone. "Mademoiselle Hale vous avez oublié votre téléphone!" She called. (Mademoiselle Hale you forgot your phone!)

"Oh! Merci," Rosalie answered.

Rosalie pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. She gave the woman some instructions for the day before heading off to work.

(Work)

After so many hours of work, Rosalie finally got a break. She got up from her desk and got a cup of water. "Long day huh?" A voice asked.

"Oh thank god someone who speaks English," she commented.

He chuckled softly. "Andy Tucker," he informed, holding his hand.

"Rosalie Hale," she answered.

"Been working here long?" Andy asked.

"Just the last four months," she replied, taking a sip of water.

Andy smiled slightly; Rosalie was possibly the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. "But I have to get off early today," she added.

"Oh? What for?" he asked.

Rosalie took another sip of her water. "Personal reasons," she replied.

"Ah I see," he murmured.

Rosalie smiled as she threw her cup in the trash and went back to her desk.

When Rosalie sat down again she felt a flutter in her stomach. She bit her lower lip and ran her hand across her hardly visible bump before going back to work.

(Later that Day)

Rosalie let out a sigh as she lied back on the examining table in one of the paper gowns. "This is so embarrassing," she muttered. She looked up when the door opened.

"Hello Miss Hale I am Dr. Ames and how are you doing today?" He asked.

"Um…depends," Rosalie replied.

Dr. Ames chuckled as he brought the Doppler over. "Ready to see your baby?" He asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be," she replied.

Dr. Ames lifted the shirt part off her stomach and put the cold gel on her small bulge. "We might be able to see if the baby's a boy or a girl if it behaves," he commented. She smiled slightly and let out a heavy sigh. "Ah ha, here we are," he informed, pointing to the screen. Rosalie looked at the screen to see the outline of her baby. "The baby looks healthy, growing how it should be," he informed.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" She asked.

"From what the picture says…it is a…" he trailed off.

Rosalie waited patiently as he tried to find out the baby's gender for her.

(New York)

Emmett sighed as he was finishing up his shift at the hospital. He shocked everyone, especially Rosalie that he was studying to be a doctor. Now that Rosalie was gone he got stuck in his studies. Everyone knew he wasn't happy, but after she was gone he gave up his dreams of becoming a pro athlete and the next thing everyone knew; he was becoming Dr. Emmett Swan.

Emmett walked by the desk. "I'll see you later, Olivia," he informed.

"Have a nice night," she answered.

Emmett walked out to his car, rubbing his throbbing forehead. "Dammit," he muttered to himself when he realized he forgot his keys in his office.

After coming out a second time, he was halfway to his car when his phone rang. "Hello," he answered.

"Hey Emmett, why don't you stop at The Grill later and celebrate with us?" Jasper asked.

"Depends on the occasion," Emmett replied as he unlocked his car.

"It's an engagement celebration," Jasper replied.

Emmett got in and closed the door. "About damn time, Jazz," he commented.

"Gee thanks," Jasper answered.

Emmett laughed slightly before putting his jeep into gear and drove to The Grill to hang out with everyone.

(The Grill)

Emmett walked in to see everyone at the bar. "Hey guys," he greeted.

"Hey you actually came," Alice commented.

Emmett grinned as he kissed Bella's cheek before sitting down. "Beer please," he told the waitress. The waitress nodded and went to get his drink. "Jasper, Alice, congratulations," Emmett told them.

"Thank you," Jasper answered, kissing the side of Alice's head.

Alice giggled slightly, wrapping her arm around his waist. "When's the big day?" He asked.

"I'm hoping for a spring wedding, but Jazzy's saying we should talk about it more since he proposed only an hour ago," Alice replied.

"Yeah for once Alice can plan the big, extravagant wedding she's always wanted to plan," Bella commented.

"Yeah you hurt my feelings when you wanted only a small wedding," Alice pouted.

Edward chuckled and kissed the side of Bella's head. "Since when have I ever wanted a big wedding with over 200 people?" Bella asked. Alice huffed but Jasper wrapped his arms around her. Emmett couldn't help but watch with envious eyes. If things went as planned, it would have been him and Rosalie joining their little witty conversation. The waitress brought the beer over.

"Here go you," she told him.

Emmett thanked her and took a swig of his beer. "Excuse me," he told them. Bella bit her lower lip and Edward pressed his forehead against her neck.

"He'll be okay love, just give him time," he whispered.

(Next Day)

Emmett was checking over some charts when Edward walked over to him. "Emmett, what are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm about to make my rounds around the hospital," Emmett replied.

"No, I mean, what are you doing being a doctor?" Edward asked.

"I believe this is my job, Edward," he replied.

Edward rubbed his forehead. "No, this is not what you wanted, Emmett. You had scouts all over the country coming to watch you play baseball!" Edward exclaimed.

"Plans change," Emmett replied.

Edward sighed and leaned against the counter. "Em, remember the time Bella and I broke up for that short time in our senior year of high school?" He asked.

"Yeah, you were a mess," Emmett replied.

"Yeah and you were the one who came in and said 'Why don't you buck up and go after her before it's too late'," Edward pointed out.

Emmett chuckled slightly. "Yeah, I remember," he answered.

"Why don't you try searching for her?" Edward asked.

He put his chart down. "Unlike what you and Bella went through, Edward, Rosie asked me not to search for her. My Rosalie doesn't want to be found," he answered. He looked over when the doors opened and a patient was wheeled into the ER. "If you excuse me I have work to do," he informed. Edward sighed and went to the second patient that was wheeled into the ER. "What happened?" Emmett asked.

"Car crash, her car was smashed into and it went over the rail, she's lucky to be alive," the paramedic replied.

"We need a blood transfusion; do we know what her blood type is?" Emmett asked.

"B positive," the paramedic replied.

Emmett looked at the nurse. "I need you to get me a blood transfusion of B positive stat," he instructed. The nurse nodded and Emmett checked her vitals when she was wheeled into the OR.

(Hours Later)

Emmett was leaning against the wall of the bathroom after so many hours of surgery to save a girl's life. He let out a deep breath, closing his eyes when Edward came in. "How's your patient doing?" He asked as he splashed water in his face.

"She's stable," Emmett replied.

"Same with the person who hit her, turns out the guy is way over the blood alcohol level," Edward put in.

He rubbed the back of his neck. "Hey, I'll keep an eye on the patients tonight, Edward. You go home to Bells, I'm sure she's waiting for you," he informed.

"You sure?" Edward asked.

"Yeah, I won't be able to head home yet after this bloodbath tonight," he replied.

He left the room and walked down the hall.

Emmett walked into the room to see that the girl he had operated on was awake. "Hello, I'm Dr. Swan, how are you feeling?" He asked.

"Like my car just crushed me," she replied, her voice scratchy.

Emmett smiled slightly. "Well, I need to ask you a few questions, see if your memory's okay," he informed. She nodded. "Today's date?" He asked.

"June 14, 2008," she replied.

"Name?" He asked.

"Brooke Carmichael," she replied.

Emmett nodded as he kept with his routine questioning. "Am I going to be okay?" She asked finally. Emmett smiled.

"You should be fine," he replied before leaving the room.
