I dialed Carlisle's number by memory all the while stroking Bella's arm to calm her down. She was actually shaking like Jacob did when he was angry and about to phase. I ran over what Bella had just told me in my mind and tried to calm myself down, of course it doesn't help if you're wondering if your daughter is going to die or if there was a cure or treatment or something out there for Nessie. Carlisle's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Hello? Edward?" He had picked up the phone at the first ring.

"Carlisle." My voice was barely more than a whisper. I cleared my throat before I began again. "Carlisle... Nessie's sick." There was a pause at the end of the line and a sharp intake of breath. Bella had stopped shaking and breathing so she could hear the conversation better.

"What do you mean sick? What are her symptoms?" He asked me extremely quickly, even for a vampire and it took me a moment to figure out what he was saying. I quickly explained Nessie's symptoms to Carlisle and he waited patiently while I explained. When I was finished speaking I asked him the final question that was on my mind.

"Can you come take care of her?" There was a pause at the end of the line and I could feel Bella stiffen next to me. We knew what the answer was going to be, but we needed hope.

"I'm sorry Edward, but I'm too far away to get there on time and I might get there too late." I could hear the sorrow in his voice and I had known what the answer was going to be but I felt like the whole world was crashing down around me. Only Carlisle could take care of Nessie since he was basically the only vampire doctor in the world. But he really surprised me with what he said next.

"But I know someone that can help Nessie." I could barely hear him because I was too lost in my hopeless thoughts. As soon as I heard those words my hope soared and I thought of new questions in my mind. Was someone among the Denali coven in Alaska a doctor or have any experience in medicine? Or would we have to travel to the Amazon to visit Nahuel if he had suffered anything like this. Maybe it was one of our allies, or maybe-

My thoughts were interrupted again by Carlisle.

"He's a doctor in New Jersey. One of the best diagnosticians in the world and I would trust him with my life. Since I no longer have that I would trust him my existence." He tried to make a weak attempt at a joke, but his voice sounded too worried to be funny.

"Is he...one of us?" There was an extremely long pause on the other end of the phone (almost 3 seconds!) until he finally answered.

"No."
