Seth Clearwater knew that his mother would kill him if she found out that he had snuck out to go to the hospital. She didn't know he had been listening at the top of the stairs while she talked to Charlie Swan thinking him to be in bed. Sue had no idea that her son knew everything that was going on. If she did he was pretty sure she wouldn't allow him to go to the hospital, but he had to. His sister was alive and he needed to see her with his own two eyes. He wasn't sure he would believe it to be the truth if he couldn't see her first.

Leah had disappeared when he was only a couple of years old so any memories he had of her were blurry at best. He did have some pictures of her he had taken from the family photo album and one was clutched tightly in his hand as he pedaled his bike as fast as he possibly could. It was dark since it was almost eleven at night, but Seth knew this was probably the only time he would be able to escape his mother to see his sister. He didn't care what some stupid doctor had said. Leah was his sister and he needed to know she was alright. Well she wasn't alright if she was in the hospital, but she was alive and that was better than what everyone had assumed a few days ago. As far as anyone had known Leah Clearwater had drowned while playing near the only river in La Push.

It took the teen boy about an hour and a half to get to the hospital in Forks. The parking lot was nearly empty since it was so late and he didn't have to worry about seeing someone he knew because of the people who knew him were most likely in bed and sleeping peacefully. After parking his bike next to a tree he headed through the doors to the emergency room. A blond nurse sat at the main desk looked up for a fraction of a second before she popped her chewing gum loudly and went back to reading. Apparently since he wasn't bleeding to death he wasn't worth her time.

"Can I help you?" Seth nearly jumped out of his skin and whirled around to find Dr. Cullen smiling at him. He had seen him a few times and new his family, but it wasn't as if they were close or anything like that. Still, it was nice to see a familiar face and he could tell the bronze haired doctor recognized him. "Seth Clearwater? What are you doing here? Is your mother with you?"

Seth shook his head as he looked down and shuffled his feet. "Mom doesn't know I am here and she would probably kill me if she did. I know that I shouldn't be here, but I had to see if it was true. Is my sister really alive and here?"

Edward felt for the young boy in front of him. "Yes she is here Seth."

"Can I see her?" He pleaded his eyes widening as he looked up hopefully. "I swear I won't say anything to her. I heard mom talking to Charlie Swan about how she doesn't remember everything and how it could hurt her if we try to force her to remember. I swear that I won't say anything I just need to see her. I need to know with my own eyes that my sister is alive."

The doctor knew that he should say no. As Leah's doctor he needed to do what was best for her, but then again Seth was just a kid and he didn't really understand. Plus Leah was sleeping and it wouldn't really do any harm to simply let him take a peek at her for a second or two. Hopefully it would help Seth to feel better. Edward knew if it were the other way around that he wouldn't leave until he was allowed to see her so he could understand where the boy was coming from and he willing to do what he could to help.

"I'll allow you to see her for a few minutes." He couldn't help it when he smiled because Seth's smile was infectious just like his sister. "I have to ask you not to wake her up. She needs all the rest she can get. I assume you know that she is pregnant?"

"Yeah I heard mom mention that." He replied as they started walking down the hall towards Leah's room. "It's weird when I try to picture it in my head. I mean in the pictures I have Leah is just a little girl. It is hard to imagine her having a baby."

Edward nodded in understanding as they quietly walked in to her room. He watched as Seth made his way to the side of the bed to look down at his sister. The younger male's eyes filled with tears as his bottom lip quivered. There was no doubt in his mind that this was indeed his sister. She was older obviously, but it was Leah without a doubt.

"Is she going to be okay?" He asked in a whisper still looking down at her. "I used my computer to look up things about kids who vanished and what they are like if they ever get found. Sometimes they never recover. Do you think that Leah is going to be alright?"

The bronze haired doctor side as he came to stand next to Seth to look down at his patient. "I can't tell you for sure if she is going to be alright or not. Whatever she went through was traumatic and she suffered for a very long time. I can tell you that we are going to do whatever we can to make sure she gets a full recovery."

Before he could say anything more Seth had crushed him in a hug as tears poured down his face. "Thank you. Thank you so much for looking after my sister when I can't."

TBC…

AN: I think that this chapter turned out rather well. I would love to hear your thoughts about this chapter. I think that it was needed for Seth to see Leah because it is his sister and he couldn't just stand around waiting. Anyways, I would love to hear your thoughts like always.

Please R&R like always!
