A/N

First, I must say I am very pleased to be trying my hand at Twilight as the support has been awesome. I was pleasantly surprised to get reviews so quickly. You guys are awesome! I am feeling very motivated to update because of your response to here is another chapter. :)

Secondly, I feel the need to address a question posed about Bella being listed as a Jane Doe. This is a term for an unidentified person. It is what hospitals and police use when a person comes in without an ID. It is important to the plot of my story but have no fear I am not changing our characters.

Thanks for reading!

My phone chimed with a message from Carlisle: "911. Come to the hospital now." Instantly I was on my feet and running out to the car.

My heart had clenched and I was near panic. What emergency could have Carlisle racing me to the hospital? All of my family was indestructible…

My thoughts shifted as I felt a presence hot on my heels. As I was getting in the car I realized it was Jasper who was sliding into the passenger seat as I put the car into reverse not even bothering with the prop of a seatbelt.

"What's wrong?" Jasper asked trying to calm me with his talent.

I handed him my phone and I could see he quickly realized what it was that had me upset.

"But what could this mean?" Jasper whispered, confused as I was, placing the phone back in my outstretched hand.

"I don't know, only that I need to be there, as in as fast as this car can go" I said pushing the gas pedal down harder. I had thought about running but realized that I might need the car. Carlisle had run to work this morning so something had me believing I might need it.

Jasper and I had been the only ones home. Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie were off hunting and Edward…well it had been a couple weeks since we had heard from him. Carlisle, Jasper, and I were planning on going early next week.

I pulled into the parking lot and Jasper and I jumped out of the car. Trying very hard to move at a human speed we walked into the hospital and turned the corner headed directly for the nurse's station.

The nurse looked up, and although she appeared unsurprised to see me, she was slightly taken aback by the man at my side.

"Uh…Mrs. Cullen" the nurse stammered "your husband said to tell you to go to room 230".

The words were barely out of her mouth and Jasper and I were rushing down the hall.

I had to get to him. Whatever the emergency was I just needed to be there.

I pushed open the door to room 230 to find Carlisle sitting with his back to the door on the foot of a patient's bed.

"Carlisle what is…" I started only to be assaulted by a familiar scent when I took a deep breath.

It couldn't be. My daughter. The one I'd lost. Injured in a hospital bed.

No wonder Carlisle was so upset. But then he turned to me and I could see the unshed tears in his eyes as the contacts he had been wearing dissolved to reveal his crimson colored eyes.

"Oh my God…"
