AN: A good bit of the medicine in this chapter is bullshit. I'm allowed to swear in my authors note rite? Please leave me review, it lets me know what you like.

Who let the dogs in?

"The whole pack is coming." Carlisle said as a warning.

"Don't worry Carlisle. There's like what? 3 of them, 7 of us, 1 of them is injured and they need our help, the list goes on." He said with a shrug.

"There are 16 of them now." Carlisle announced.

"Thank goodness for this big house then." Emmett replied.

"Incoming." Anthony said. We had finished stealing all that we could steal and manipulating our way into the rest. The pack had just arrived. Even in their human forms they looked like a pack of wolves. Carlisle went out to greet them along with Charles. Bella had her feet on the table and humming along with a song that was playing in the background. "You're ruining it mom." Anthony said putting a cup of coffee on the table.

"Hey it takes a lot of talent to sing out of tune. That's how they come up with originals." She said pinching his cheek. The affection in this family was peculiar.

Outside cold civilities were being exchanged. I understood why the wolves didn't like Carlisle. They were natural enemies. What I didn't understand was why Charles didn't like the pack. They came inside and greeted us. Quil Ateara was the patient. They were instructed not to tell Bella anything about her former life either so the natural course of action was introductions. Another thing that made no sense. We had to play by Charles' rules because we needed acceptance into his family. What possible reason could the pack have for keeping his secret? it's not like he could keep her from treating Quil without having to tell her himself.

Quil extended his hand. "I'm-"

"Lazarus." Bella finished for him and stared straight into his eyes while the others chuckled tensely. Confusion was running around in the minds in the room as she did not stop staring. She tilted her head and said, "You remind me of something, I just can't think of what it is." Maybe there was hope for her memories. Before the silence got too awkward Sam went to introduce himself and the others. At least he tried.

"I'm-"

"Don't care. This may not be a hospital but it isn't a sorority either. Patient, go lie on that bed. The rest of you, stay out of my way." Quil was stubborn about being in bed. "Next your heart might not miraculously restart." Were Bella's words of encouragement.

Never thought I'd regret leaving Leah behind. Sam thought. This sentiment was shared by most of the pack.

We spent the next day sneaking in and out of the hospital, running tests and coming up with absolutely nothing. Sure he had a fever but what wolf didn't. We spent the day after that being a pain in Quil's ass (his words) asking him about every insignificant detail of his life. By day three we had exhausted all options right along with all friendliness. Fourth day, Embry went into cardiac arrest. Did I mention how stupid it was to be away from a hospital in a situation like this?

The pack started getting paranoid. Maybe it was something that would kill them all. They would have blamed us but we weren't there when this first happened.

Bella walked into the living room which Quil had been confined to. We fell silent. "I've been nice." This was met with a lot of scoffing. She ignored this. "I ignored the secret because we still had options. We're out of options and the next time you die," she pointed to Quil, "may very well be the last. Now what the hell is it that makes the room fall silent when I walk in?"

We all hate each other for reasons we can't really explain without telling you about all the other things we can't explain. I did not think this would go down nicely. The secret she suspects us of keeping really isn't relevant to the matter at hand. We can't tell her regardless.

"You slept with him." Charles, of course. Does it always have to come back to me and Bella's virtue?

"I am aware." She folding her arms.

"No, you're not." He sighed, "I'm not talking about Edward. I'm talking about Jacob." He said looking at her. I know I had no right but I wanted to rip his throat out. "It didn't end well and you're not known for your forgiving nature. I was gonna tell you over whiskey when they'd left." He smiled.

She sat in his lap and spoke into his ear. "You're hiding something." Hallelujah! She has seen the light. "The fact that you're lying to me right now tells me that it's irrelevant to my healthy, dying patient. We'll talk." Then she turned around and said, "Now which one of you is Jacob?"

Rosalie was thinking of a few names she thought Bella deserved. Jasper sent a wave of calm over me before I could do anything I would regret.

Bella had a strangely short conversation with Jacob. I thought she'd want to know more seeing as she had been… intimate with him. She walked out of the room and came out of the kitchen eating an apple.

Charles whistled. The rude prick. She struck a flirtatious pose. Apparently she found this appealing. And she used to be so shy. Is anything the same? "Are you testing me? Because you know I'll push the button." He said.

"Baby you wouldn't find the button with both hands and a map." Suddenly she turned around. "Self-destruct button .Berry aneurism." She said running into his arms. She kissed him, which made me take a little longer than I should have to find the place where Berry aneurism was located in my brain. "We just couldn't find the button because the map was so large." She chuckled at this.

Sam asked what was going on. Bella explained to him what that the aneurisms were pressing up against the part of the brain that controlled the heart. We just needed to cut it out and they would be fine. "Your father probably had the same thing." She said looking at Embry, who told her that it was Quil's dad in the medical history.

"It's genetic." She paused and looked around. "I won't comment on the 15 people in the room who don't seem surprised by this. News flash: it's not a scandal when all the involved parties are dead. Take them to the hospital." She said looking at us. "Come cut into someone's head." She said to Charles with frightening cheerfulness.

Now that the problem was about to become history, the pack thought it was the perfect time to raid the fridge. The brothers went to the hospital with the Alpha. Rose, Carlisle and I also went. Emmett stayed and played video games with the twins. They seem to like him. I'm entitled to my jealousy in this situation. Everyone else went home.

Charles had to operate on two stubborn wolves because our help was suddenly unwanted. They really believe we'd dine on werewolf? Bella had fallen asleep in a chair. Charles came in and was a little irritated to find we were still here. He ignored us and woke Bella. He took two steps to leave and fell over. The first thing we noticed, maybe due to its frequency, was the absence of the sound of a beating heart.
