Kate hadn't seen Bella in hours. She'd ran her to the hospital. Yes. Ran. Even though she knew that anyone could have seen them or questioned it. They'd taken one look at Bella in the emergency room, and immediately admitted her. Kate had been handed a form to fill out and when she finally got her thoughts together, she realized she couldn't answer most of the information.

Weight? 119 pounds. Height? 5'5". Allergies? Umm. Blood type? She was a vampire, but she wasn't that good. Family medical history? Oh shit.

She wrenched a hand through her hair yet again and then scrubbed the same hand over her face roughly. She didn't even know how to get in contact with someone who would know the answers to these questions.

"Kate?" She looked up to see Tanya and Carmen and, if she could have cried, she most definitely would have. Her shoulders slumped and her eyes filled with tears that couldn't and wouldn't fall. They were on either side of her in a breath, "How is she? What'd they say? Where is she? Do you know what's wrong?" The questions just kept coming and Kate couldn't get a word in anywhere.

When Tanya finally stopped asking questions, Kate finally just brokenly said, "Do you know if she has any allergies?"

0~0~0

"She's going crazy."

"I don't think it's possible for a vampire to go crazy, T."

"I didn't either. But the evidence is right in front of us," Tanya pointed out.

"Has anyone called her dad?" Carmen asked out of curiosity. Kate turned wide eyed towards the two of them.

"I'm supposed to call her dad?!"

0~0~0

Kate finally located Bella's phone. It was shoved in the jacket that she'd picked up when she'd picked Bella up. She entered the password she knew already and scrolled through Bella's contacts.

"I have a problem," She mumbled and felt Carmen shift to look over her shoulder.

"What's that?"

"Apparently her dad isn't in her phone as "Dad" or anything similar to that but that's all she calls him when she talks about him, so I don't know his name."

"Super," Tanya mumbled from the other side as she watched Kate scroll. "Do any of these names sound familiar?"

Kate scrolled for a few moments before pausing, "She faced timed with her dad once and I think Jake set that up? Maybe he would know how to get in touch with her dad?"

"Worth a shot," Carmen said with a shrug.

Kate clicked on the contact and lifted the phone to her ear with hopes that this would work.

"Bells!" She heard and then heard a chorus of boys yell something similar in the background. She saw Tanya raise an eyebrow in amusement and rolled her eyes at her sister.

"Umm," Kate hesitated, "Jacob?" She asked.

"Who's this?" He asked after she heard some shifting as if he'd looked at his phone to make sure he wasn't mistaken in who he'd answered a call from.

"Bella's soccer coach. I need to get in touch with her dad."

0~0~0

After having to explain what had happened (at least what she knew anyway) to Jacob, he'd finally said he'd call her dad and give him the information. He'd also said that Charlie (that was his name!) would probably want to travel up there and that he'd probably call Bella's phone for more information if Kate was still going to have it.

However, after Charlie had been contacted, the paperwork had been sent to him. He had filled it out and sent it back. At least they could accurately and actively take care of Bella now. He did eventually call Bella's phone. Kate had let him know what little information that she had about Bella and he'd told her that he was coming up to see her.

It wasn't until early into the morning that Kate was allowed in to see Bella. The human had woken up and immediately asked for her. She was still a little loopy and dazed but she knew that she'd missed practice as well as her plans with her mate and she'd be damned if she was going to go any longer without talking to Kate.

The blonde walked into the room and was by her side in a flash, "Bella, darling, you scared the life out of me," Kate whispered as she caressed Bella's cheeks and brushed back her hair.

"Must not have scared you too much then," Bella rasped through dry lips and laughed softly at her own joke. Kate rolled her eyes good naturedly and bent to press her lips to Bella's significantly-less-warm forehead. "So, how was practice?"

"You're a dork," Kate mumbled and shook her head, "It was fine. I was missing my favorite player, of course, but it was fine," She answered. Kate cocked her head to the side and sighed, "Yes, Tanya, you can come in now. I told you to come in when I did," The blonde said with an eyeroll. Bella gave a small laugh and looked up when Tanya walked into the room with Carmen right behind her.

"You gave us quite the scare, Bella," Carmen said with a smile as Bella grinned up at her.

"Kate seriously almost had a panic attack. Which isn't even possible," Tanya said with a wink in the human's direction. Bella giggled as Kate ran a hand over her face roughly, "She wanted to know if 103 degrees was normal for a human," Tanya continued, "Also she had to nearly threaten you to take your temperature to get that far," She finished with a laugh. "It's very entertaining now that we know your life isn't at stake or something."

Bella laughed and shook her head at the curly blonde. Carmen and Tanya stayed a while longer before leaving Kate and Bella alone again.

"So, tell me the truth," Bella said, "How bad was I?" She asked and Kate laughed.

"Not too bad. You like to cuddle apparently when you're sick," She said with a grin and Bella just rolled her eyes and nodded, "You also hate being told what to do and I really did have to threaten you to take your temperature. And you're the most stubborn person I've ever met," Kate finished, and Bella nodded.

"About what I expected," She said with a laugh and reached her hand out to grab hold of Kate's icy one, "I love you, Kate. I'm sorry that I put you through that."

Kate took a deep, unnecessary, breath to steady her before speaking, "Bella, darling, I will be there through anything and everything that you go through. I love you with every fiber of my very being. Seeing you sick nearly killed me, yes, but I'd be there over and over again if it meant that I got to protect you and make sure that you were safe, healthy, and happy. You're my everything now, Bella. That isn't going to change, my love."
