DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!

Chapter 4: You Need A Doctor Baby, You Scared.

BPOV

"Tell me your name. Is it Chris, Mike, James, Tim, Bob? Is it something girly like Justice or Sasha? What is your name?!"

"Jasper."

Jasper? That's such a weird name. I have heard it once before but I can't recall where.

"Well… Jasper I'm here to help you but you also have to help me. I can't let you continue to stay here if I don't know anything about you." I look up as I hear the front door open. Colin and a doctor walked in.

Colin did a little bow, "Miss Swan this Dr. Gerandy and he is here to help check over…the patient."

I did a once over of Dr. Gerandy and gave a nod of approval.

"I hope that you will not open your mouth to my father about what happens in this house. If you choose to open your mouth and tell my father… hmm let's just say if you think my father is ruthless then you haven't met me. Understood?"

I saw a fleck of fear enter into Dr. Gerandy eyes. Knowing that I can instill fear into him gave a little pleasure.

"Now would you like to check him before or after he has bathed and showered? Honestly I would prefer after."

Dr. Gerandy gave Jasper a once over taking in his appearance and the way he is shaking and the paleness of his skin.

"I think it would be best for him to bathe and shower first."

I yelled out Eric's name and he came rushing out of the guest bedroom next to my room, "Make sure the bath and shower water are lukewarm and unscented soaps are there. I want you keep guard outside the door to make sure he is alright in there."

Eric did a bow and said "Yes Ma'am."

I turned to Jasper, "You're going to be fine with Eric Jasper. He's going to make sure you get all cleaned up. Can you trust him Jasper?" I looked at him with concern in my eyes. He seemed so fragile, in both the mind and physically. He seems like a man who has been hurt in more ways than one.

He looked hesitant at first but then have a slight nod. Eric stepped to the side to let Jasper know that it was alright for him to go ahead of him into the bathroom. Jasper took slow and hesitant steps towards the bathroom. When both he and Eric had disappeared from sight I turned to Dr. Gerandy

"Colin, you can take your leave now. Make sure you do not breathe a word of this to my father." I told him with a sharp and cold edge to my voice.

Colin just bowed and left the apartment.

I turned to the doctor and made a sweeping motion with my hand towards the couch.

"You may take a seat Doctor. Would you like anything to drink or to snack on while we wait?"

Dr. Gerandy shook his head, "No Ma'am but thank you Miss Swan. But can you tell me everything you can about the patient?"

My eyes glanced towards the bathroom for a split second. I wish I could tell him everything I knew but I knew nothing of the stranger that is my home.

I release a deep sigh, "Well you see Doctor, there is not much I know of this man. I know he is possibly in his 20s, maybe around the 6'2 area, blonde hair past his shoulders, blue eyes; he has been living outside of my apartments for maybe a little over a year. I have been trying to keep him feed and warm for a little over 6 months. I cannot, and will not, disclose his name without his permission. He also probably won't tell you much; he doesn't like to speak much."

The doctor looked to be deep in thought as he stewed over the information I have just given him. We sit in silence until we hear the door to the guest bedroom open and close. Eric walked out first and then Jasper walked out next and boy was I surprised. He looked so much better than I thought he would. Eric did more than make sure he was bathed and showered. He must have used some of my father's razors and hair care supplies. Jasper looked like a brand new man.

I glanced over at Dr. Gerandy, "I will be in the lobby while you check him over. Be careful with him", I turned to Eric, "As soon as the doctor is done checking him over, call me."

I left the room with a meaningful look at Jasper. For some odd reason I felt wrong for leaving him alone. I walked to the elevator and pushed the down button. I waited for Mike to bring the elevator to my floor. When it opened Mike greeted me with a smile, "Hello Miss Swan."

"Hello Mike", I nod at him as I step onto the elevator. Those were the only words we spoke to each other in the long elevator ride down to the lobby. It wasn't awkward silence because we are both use to being around each other but in moments like this silence isn't golden. I have too much on my head and going on around me. I have Father pestering me, the company everywhere, I got Jasper and no idea what to do with him, I got my mother pestering me about a husband and children, and I just have too much on my plate.

I was snapped out of my rampant thoughts by my phone ringing. I reach inside my purse and saw that it was my mother calling…again. I had half a mind to just ignore her call and be done with it, but I know my mother.

With a deep sigh of unhappiness and frustration I answer, "Hello Mother."

Almost immediately she started, "Isabella what is it with you and making me wait on the phone? Am I not important enough for you?"

Really mother? Really? I thought more you mother.

"No Mother, you are the most important person in my life. I'm sorry for making you wait." I rolled my eyes at my unlikely situation. She most likely called to remind me about my date with Riley Biers or the fact that she wants grandchildren.

"If you love me why don't I have the grandchildren I so desire? I can't wait around forever you know? I'm getting old; I found a few wrinkles and crow's feet around my eyes. I need grandchildren before the heavy set wrinkles come." She complained.

I heard the elevator ding and looked at Mike and gave him a head nod. I walked off the elevator and started making my way outside. It seems the rain has cleared a little, it was nothing more than a drizzle now.

"Old mother? No never you, you could never be old. You look like you're twenty. Those lines and wrinkles were probably just your imagination trying to scare you." I fake a gasp, "Oh Mother look I have to go, duty calls."

"Wait Isab-"she started to say but I hung up on her before she could continue.

Wow that felt amazing to do.

I get outside and see the car waiting for me. I greet the doorman on call with a nod and smile. I get to the car and the chauffer opens the door for me. Once inside the car I call my father.

It rings and rings and rings.

Maybe he won't pick up. He usually picks up on the 2nd ring. Just as I'm about to hang up the phone I hear his gruff, formal voice answers the phone.

"Charlie Swan."

"Do you really have to be so formal with your own daughter?" I jokingly asked.

"What do you need Isabella? You know I'm a very busy man."

I'm used to this kind of treatment. I'm use to him never having time for me anymore and putting work before me. I don't have any expectations from my parents anymore. I don't expect them to remember my birthday, Christmas, thanksgiving, or anything that involves parents. As a child I was used to having them around and being there for me, so when I got older and found out that they didn't have time for me it hurt me my feelings.

"I was just calling to ask if you wanted to out to lunch with me tomorrow." I asked shyly.

There was silence on his end for a while, "I don't know Isabella. Check with my P.A. and I will get back to you. Right now I have a very important meeting to attend to. Goodbye." He hung up before I could even reply.

I looked at the phone dejectedly and sigh sadly, "Love you too dad" I mumble lowly. Check with his P.A.? If he didn't want lunch with me he could have told me that instead of having me go and ask his P.A. and have her rattle off all the days I can't see him. It's not like I want an entire day with him, 15 minutes would be fine. We don't even have to leave the office, we don't even have to eat I just want to spend time with my father. It's a shame that a daughter has to make an appointment to see her father. I no longer count him as my father; he is now just my boss.

"Drive." I commanded the driver.


After an hour of aimlessly driving around New York I ended up back at my condo after receiving call from Eric. Apparently the doctor needed to urgently see me. I exited my vehicle and walked with my head held high to the elevator when all I wanted to do was curl and never be seen again.

Once on my floor and in my apartment I saw why the doctor called me so urgently. Passed out on my couch was Jasper. His face was an alarming red color, his face and hair were drenched in sweat, and his face was scrunched up as if he was in the world's worst pain. You could hear the little whimpers of pain coming from him, and for some unknown reason it broke my heart to hear them.

I dropped my bag and rushed over to him, "What's wrong with him? What happened?" I said in a panicked voice. I let my hand fall onto his forehead and immediately jerked it back. He was on fire; it felt like I put my hand in lava.

"I don't know Miss Swan. We were done with the examination when he complained of nausea and dizziness right before he collapsed. When we set him down on the sofa, his temperature was very hot. We were going to move him to the hospital as soon as you arrived."

I slowly nodded my head in daze and started firing off instructions, "Eric I need to you contact the nearest hospital and tell them that a Maria Sawyer is checking in also get some help so that we can move him. Dr. Gerandy I need you to gather blankets and a scarf from the hall closet. We need to hide his face as much as possible." I got up and ran to my phone and called the car service and soon after I called Demitri.

"Miss Swan, how may I help you?" he answers the phone

"Demitri I'm in sort of a sticky situation. I need to find out some information on a person named Jasper. I don't have a last name. Find out what you can." I hung up without waiting for a reply.

"We have to hurry and move him. Wrap his face with the scarf and sit him up."

As we were lifting him we heard mumble something. We couldn't exactly make out the words.

"Say that again Jasper."

"Angel…stran...strange…lad…lady" he took a deep breath and then continued, "s...sa…saved...m-m-…me."

Well that was confusing.

When Eric and the rest of the boys came they lifted Jasper up and carried him the elevator and then to the car. We all tried to ignore the stares and gazes of wonder from the other residents. I told Colin to make sure no one says a word.

Once inside the car I told the driver to step on it to the nearest hospital. When we reached the hospital we were greeted with doctors and nurses. They rushed over with a gurney to take Jasper into the hospital. One of the doctors came up and asked for Jasper's guardian to give them his information and what happened. I stepped forward and recounted to him what Dr. Gerandy told me and telling them a version of how he came to be out in the rain. I had to hold off telling them information about Jasper for as long as possible.

"I told him that we just can't play in the rain like we use to because it was too cold. I ran inside before I got too cold and took a shower. When I came out of the shower he still wasn't there, so I went back outside and dragged him in. he soaked to the bone and he was a shivering mess. I ran him a bath with lukewarm water because I was afraid that he might have hyperthermia and called a doctor to check on him." I choked back a sob for extra measure, "Everything was fine. We were all joking about how stupid he was for doing that." I made sure my voiced cracked in the right places and pretended to blink back tears. "Then suddenly he complained of nausea and dizziness and I was going to help him to the couch when he just collapsed." I took a deep, shuddering breath. "I hope he's okay! Please let him be okay." I finally let the tears fall from my eyes. I released shuddering, body wrecking sobs.

They seemed to have bought it because they didn't ask me any other questions and led me to the room where Jasper was held. The doctor came up to me and pulled me to the side.

"Hello Miss Sawyer I am Dr. Marshall and I am the doctor that will be caring for your…" he trailed off.

"Boyfriend. He's my boyfriend."

"Yes, well we ran a few tests and…everything is fine. He just has a high fever which we are treating right now. But there are other things that we have seen. He seems to be malnourished and he has a really low iron count along with not having a correct amount of vitamins and minerals in his body. Those factors could have also helped in his collapsing. Recommend that you for the time being, maybe two weeks, feed him light meals. Nothing too solid he can't eat a steak just yet. Feed him light soups and maybe some salted crackers. We will keep him here overnight as a precaution."

I gave a sigh of relief, "Thank you doctor." I have him a grateful smile and he gave me a smile in return and walked away.

I walked to the door and hesitated going in. my hand is shaking right above the door knob. Should I go in or not? I stood outside the door for who knows how long contemplating whether or not to go in.

Man up Bella. He wouldn't mind you in there; you did after all save his life. Stop being a chicken.

I took a shuddering breath and slowly opened the door to Jasper's room.

There he lay in that horrible hospital bed, hooked up to dozens of little cords, looking peaceful as he slept. His face wasn't red anymore; it was slightly healthy looking pale color.

I take a seat in the uncomfortable hospital chairs by the bed. My eyes searched his face picking out little features.

The lines around his mouth showed that he was the type to smile a lot.

The bags under his eyes show that he hasn't had a goodnight's sleep in anyone know how long.

His pale skin looks like porcelain and makes me want to touch and see if it is as smooth as it looks.

His shoulder length blonde hair makes me want to run my fingers through it and never let go.

"Who are you and what are you doing to me?" I mumble in the silence of the hospital room.

My only reply was the steady beeping of the heart monitor.
