It was the beginning of the great depression. A lot families lost all their possessions and the patients will wait thinking that will be cured by itself and some people couldn't afford going to the hospital so they would be coming to the hospital at very late stages. What could have been cured simply at early stage would be incurable. Since I was a pediatrician mostly kids would be admitted at early stage of Pneumonia but only some of them survived.
I was attending the group of 7-10 years old children. All of them would have either Cardiovascular disease or Pneumonia. We both tried to save them we saved some who has an immunity to hold off for some more days. Nobody could save any of them in the hospital. The most gruesome part was that the patients admitted would have different disease but died of additional disease. I could still remember a boy around seven years old named Jason who just lost his mother. His mother committed suicide. The police found him when his neighbors call in.
Adelyn still conflicted to tell him because this was buried in her memory and she wished to never reveal it to anyone but here she is trying to explain the memory that still haunts her when ever she spends her time alone. She breathed heavily trying to stable herself to explain the memory.
A nurse about mid 30's knocked the door that was build for Carlisle and Adelyn.
Miss Cullen we a new patient. Dr. Cullen also wants you to meet him said Judy.
In a minute Judy said Adelyn.
Adelyn and Judy left the cabin and went towards the children's ward to meet the new patient.
Adelyn could clearly see Carlisle, an Officer from the local police station and a scared boy about 7 years hiding behind the officer.
Carlisle said Adelyn as she made her way towards them.
Adelyn I would like you to meet officer Brown said Carlisle as he hugged her.
Hello officer said Adelyn shaking his hands.
Addy why don't you show Jason his room said Carlisle.
Right this way please said Adelyn.
Thank you for making this arrangement said Officer Brown.
Oh no problem Officer Brown said Adelyn.
Please call me Steve said Officer Brown.
Then you could call me Adelyn no need to be formal between us Steve said Adelyn smiling.
Sir, Do I have to stay here alone asked Jason with a worried expression.
Don't worry, you will have either my father or I will be here said Adelyn kneeling down to his size.
They reached the room allotted. This room was occupied by another 7 year old girl.
Cynthia I want you to meet your new room mate Jason said Adelyn as she stayed by the door.
Addy I haven't seen you for a long time. Oh hai I'm Cynthia said Cynthia.
Hello I'm Jason said Jason.
I'm sorry Cynthia I will come before I go home said Adelyn.
You said I could see you all the time asked Jason terrified that he would be left behind.
I know but I will come back tomorrow early and I will spend the time with both of you said Adelyn.
Who is Cynthia Darling asked Jasper.
She was my first patient to be admitted for pneumonia said Adelyn.
Did she also ? asked Jasper.
Yes it was few days after Jason came to the hospital. It scarred us I still have the wounds I believe won't heal said Adelyn.
When did it happened asked Jasper.
It was the day Edward decided to go out and curve his appetite said Adelyn.
So Edward also tried human blood asked Jasper surprised.
Yes he did for three years. But one good thing came out of it was him killing Esme's ex-abusive husband said Adelyn.
Adelyn went to find Carlisle after making proper arrangement for Jason and Cynthia.
Hey Dad you called asked Adelyn as she closed the door.
Can you make out anything about him asked Carlisle.
Jason needs a little bit more care than others from his previous living conditions said Adelyn as she started to fill in the details for the report on Jason.
What do mean ? asked Carlisle.
His parents is not a good example said Adelyn.
I only thought his parents has a bad divorce said events made him feel insecure and lonely said Adelyn.
We could make him less pain by staying by staying more time said Carlisle.
If we are in charge of him then we could work out a plan said Adelyn.
I will see to it. How about medically ? asked Carlisle.
I'm Afraid he don't have a much time said Adelyn.
I was afraid you would say that sighed Carlisle.
We could estimate his health by tomorrow said Adelyn.
Can we arrange it by 8 o'clock asked Carlisle.
Adelyn went to check the schedule and said I start my shift at 10 o'clock, so we have enough time to finish the test said Adelyn.
Oh Esme called, she wants us to come early said Carlisle.
That's fine, let's go I finished my shift said Adelyn.
I will meet you near the reception said Carlisle.
I have meet Cynthia and Jason. Meet you in a few said Adelyn as she exited the room.
Adelyn knocked the door. As Jason opened the door.
You are going home aren't you asked Cynthia.
Yes, I will come back before you wake up said Adelyn as she sat down in the bed.
I will be waiting for you said Cynthia.
Jason ? Are you okay ? asked Adelyn.
Nothing, I'm fine Jason lied.
Lying doesn't help Jason. Come on sit with us said Adelyn patted the seat next to her.
I told you Jason you could never lie to Addy said Cynthia giggling.
Oh I have to go home. I will meet you first in the morning said Adelyn.
Please come said Jason.
Don't worry Jason Addy will come and meet us said Cynthia hugging him.
Adelyn nodded her head then she left the room and went towards the reception area.
They both exited the hospital. The hospital is just few minutes from their house so they could come to the hospital anytime.
Esme was waiting near the door with Edward.
Are you going somewhere ? asked Adelyn.
I want to experience, What's it like to feed on humans said Edward not meeting her eyes.
If that's what you want Edward. You know that we would support you in every way said .
Adelyn ? asked Esme.
No I will not leave you Esme said Adelyn as she went to her room and slammed the door.
Edward left that day. Adelyn still in her room wishing that he would come back soon. Carlisle and Esme understood the pain and didn't question her when she won't even talk to them. She blocked her mind reading power and never used it. It cause pain for her when ever she used it. It reminded her of Edward so she didn't use the power anymore.
Carlisle and Adelyn got ready to the hospital early to begin their work.
Carlisle when are we going to tell them the news asked Adelyn.
We will see if we could do anything to make it better, if they show improvement there is no need to tell them said Carlisle.
I'm ready said Adelyn came downstairs.
Esme we will see you soon said Carlisle kissing her in the lips.
Bye Esme said Adelyn.
See you later said Esme with a half smile.
They reached the hospital earlier that the others.
Dr. and Miss Cullen do you need anything asked Serena the head nurse.
We need to finish checking the new patients said Carlisle.
I will contact them right away said Serena.
No Serena, why don't you help my father. I will tell them. Can you tell Judy to come early said Adelyn.
Of course Miss Cullen said Serena.
Come back to my cabin and finish up the report Addy said Carlisle.
We need to talk with the hospital head some times this week, two doctor going on leave so we have to work twice as normal said Adelyn.
Can you manage ? asked Carlisle.
Yes Carlisle said Adelyn.
Why don't we finish up tomorrow's work today and we will be in time for the meeting said Carlisle.
Miss. Cullen, The exam room is ready said Judy.
Thanks Judy, Can you wait there, I will bring them said Adelyn.
Adelyn and Judy left the room and made their way towards the room.
Adelyn opened the door and went inside and sat near the bed watching them sleeping.
Cynthia wake up few minutes and saw Adelyn sitting there.
Hai Addy good morning said Cynthia.
Hai Cynthia, are you ready for the check up asked Adelyn.
Yes, I just need few more minutes said Cynthia went to get ready.
Jason ? can you wake up asked Adelyn slightly shaking.
Yes said Jason waking up.
How did you sleep ? asked Adelyn.
I slept okay said Jason.
Get ready when Cynthia comes back said Adelyn.
Okay said Jason.
I didn't know that would the only time I would see them alive said Adelyn still staring at nothing.
Why you didn't stay with them asked Jasper.
I became selfish and stopped working. I took my emotions and hide everyone's feeling and conditions away I could find that they were dying. If I stayed there for some times, I would've done something to save them. I still believe I should have died with them and almost did. Carlisle found me and stopped me from taking my life said Adelyn.
Promise me that you wouldn't do that said Jasper holding her as his lifeline.
I promise Jazz, it's a stupidest thing to do said Adelyn as she was holding him as her lifeline.
Jasper couldn't believe that she was hiding these thing from others.
How can you hid it from Edward asked Jasper.
I try not to think about. If I did I would take my time alone or in Carlisle's study to some work to distract myself not tell him. It's hard to hide it to your own twin brother. But he was not there when I needed the most in my whole existence he left us for selfish reason's. That's why I didn't want him to be come like that again said Adelyn.
So you believe he deserve not to know about your major moments in your life said Jasper.
Yes, but maybe someday he will know about this said Adelyn.
I hope he will do something to deserve it said Jasper.
Come on, I want to show you something said Adelyn.
They both ran to the house. Esme and Carlisle were in the living room.
Esme can I access the lockers ? asked Adelyn.
Of course dear said Esme smiling knowing the reason why she was asking the lockers. Esme will see sometimes Adelyn looking at the collection she had when she was human and other things that belong to her.
Adelyn and Jasper went to Carlisle's office where the lockers where.
Adelyn opened the lock and showed one of the most prized possessions of hers.
They told Judy that they were going to give this on my birthday said Adelyn.
Do you regret anything about being a vampire asked Jasper.
My reasons are going to be the one as Rosalie. I needed to experience, what's it like to have a child. I guess I could never experience said Adelyn.
I'm sorry darling, I could never give that to you said Jasper.
Yeah, but I would give up that to be with you said Adelyn kissing him.
Adelyn and Jasper stayed there for sometimes embracing each other.
You know one thing Jazz. You would be the first person to know about this in detail said Adelyn.
Even Carlisle and Esme ? asked Jasper.
Even they don't know that I have a desire for child said Adelyn smiling.
Will someone know about this ? asked Jasper.
Maybe not to this extent but that person need to prove. Edward lost that chance said Adelyn.
Adelyn Jasper can you come down we could start with the things you need to know about schooling.
Adelyn and Jasper came downstairs in a flash as they started to read the subjects to update themselves and complete everything in two days. Carlisle and Adelyn loves to research and write articles. Years of working in the hospital made Adelyn and Carlisle immune to blood. They would work hours on end to help Adelyn control her powers and they found that she could do this by manipulating others mind to get the information to use the powers.
The relationship between Jasper and Adelyn begin to strengthen even more that they know everything about each other.
