Okay, so a lot of people offered to beta this, but I forgot who, so if you could message me. I'll make my choice here in a few days.

This chapter is kind of a filler. Sorry, but I kind of have to streach this out. Read on my readers. read on.


Today is Saturday. And such a free day as this should not be spent at the hospital taking more tests. Yet, here I am, in one of those gowns that doesn't cover my but, lying on the MRI machine, feeling utterly like a lunch tray getting ready to go back to the kitchen.

Nurse Janet is taking care of me until Dr. Cullen gets back from another patient and his rounds. I didn't know what to think. Yes, Dr. Cullen is the same thing as Edward and Emmett, but... I'm a afraid? Do I want to know?

The answer in my head rang in like a choir of orcs. Yes. Yes, I want to know. I want to know what they are. I need to. Just as I need breath I need to know what they are... just hopefully they can accept me then.

"all right, hmmm..." Janet mumbled. "Another MRI is scheduled shortly after you, but if Dr. Cullen takes any longer..." She tapped her foot and looked out the viewing window. "Ah, he's on his way."

My heart sped up, then I thought about the Cullen family, and how they were so nice, and... well, mostly I thought of Edward and I was suddenly calm.

I heard the door open and silent footsteps towards Janet.

"Hello, Mr. Cullen, this is, um, this is Bella Swan. And um, well, obviously she's here for, um, an MRI, but if Dr. Cullen is late..." Wait, isn't she talking to Dr. Cullen?

"I can take it from here Janet. Thank you for getting her ready." A voice that I hadn't heard since three o'clock yesterday spoke and the out burst of my heart couldn't be helped. Am I a in trouble? Is he going to do something to me? Why did he leave so suddenly... Is he mad. Oh crap, this can't be good.

Edward walked to my side and smiled almost as if he had been waiting for a good reason to. "How are you today Bella?" The smile still on his face, and I felt as if everything was perfect.

"She can't speak Mr. Cullen." Janet piped in.

I'm surprisingly wonderful now that you are here. That's a bad thing, isn't it?

With a stern voice, "Yes, Janet, I know. Clear the room, please."

"You aren't supposed to be in here either when the machine is on." She retorted.

"Yes, Janet. I know that. But the machine isn't on and when it is I won't be in here." When she was gone, Edward turned back to me. "Yes, Bella, it's a very bad thing." His eyes were sad and the smile that brightened my world for a few seconds was gone too.

Don't be sad. I can't help it. Which, is also a bad thing. Edward, I want to tell you, about yesterday, I d-

"Miss Swan, please hold still and don't move or else we'll have to do this again." Edward flung a heavy aprony thing on me and left the room.

Curses! Is he afraid? Edward... grr.. The machine moved me into the little circle and the loud noise buzzed in my ear. I remain still only by screaming Edward's name in my head. Maybe he heard it. EDWARD EDWARD EDWARD CULLEN. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. Though, towards the end of the test I think I was thinking something I didn't want him to hear. I love you. I love you. I love you. Curse the fact that I love you but I do.

I really hope that he didn't hear that. But his face was unfathomable when he came into the room again. A question popped into my mind that I didn't of before when I saw him in full scrub mode. Aren't you a little too young to be a doctor?

He smiled at me briefly. "I'm an intern."

But your still in high school.

He smiled again. "It's a small town and they don't care, and plus," He leaned towards me as if telling me a secret. "My dad practically owns the place." He winked and called Janet to get my normal clothes.

When she left we were both silent. Well, duh from my part. Edward stared at the floor. "Test results will be here in about an hour or two. Mean time I need to get a ... blood test. A couple of them actually." He scrunched up his nose and looked apprehensive.

I nodded. Edward, I want to talk... about yesterday.

"I know you do. But... I'm not ready yet.

You owe me an answer Edward!

"I know I do." He whispered then did that strange staring thing that wafted so many emotions into me from him.

Janet entered with a bag of my clothes. "I'll come back when you are dressed, there's no need to keep the gown on for blood samples."

Janet and Edward left and I quickly pulled on my jeans and flannel shirt. Okay, I'm decent.

Edward came in again, and smiled like he did the first time. He looked over his shoulder, "Janet, take a few vials of blood from Bella and leave them in the lab, Carlisle will look at them later." Then in a smaller voice, "did you drive yourself here?"

I shook my head. I walked.

He furrowed his eyebrows but accepted it. "all right, well, why don't you let me drive you home." A light hit his eyes and his smile warmed the coldest part of my heart. I nodded and smiled back, a little bit surprised.

Janet took forever finding a good vein in me. She poked and prodded and I was afraid I was going to faint again. "all right. Your done. You have some small veins girl." She laughed and leaded me towards the lobby area were Edward was leaning against a column. Before I got there I past Carlisle in the hallway, he smiled down at me, then looked at Edward and nodded. I shrugged. I would ask Edward about this later.

Edward has a lot to answer for.
