I walked into Elizabeth's room, her mother looked helpless and her father stood by the window, he showed no emotion and that bothered me. I checked over her chart and helped the surgical intern's help her to be prepped for surgery.

Once I had said goodbye, and promising that I would be in the room watching over her, I went to find Edward.

I found him outside in his thin scrubs, it was freezing and the last thing I wanted was for him to be sick. I sighed and walked up to him, he didn't look at me, he just looked up at the sky. I stood there, letting him have his moment. He needed to think before he went into surgery.

"You know, I keep going over all the steps in my head, I keep thinking of what I will do to keep her alive in this surgery. I feel blind, with a heart bypass I know what to do but in this surgery . . . I just feel as if I am experimenting with a life that is so sweet and bright, I am dealing with a little girl that is so beautiful inside and out, and that has fought her way here. I don't want to do this surgery . . ." He took a breath and then sighed, his green eyes sadly looking down at me, "But I have to." His eyes were a little glossy and it made me want to cry.

"You got attached to her." I stated.

"A little more than attached, she has been my patient since she was a year old, I was the first one to take her case into my own hands, I supported the case and know I feel as if I am killing one of my family members, have you ever felt like that?" He asked, letting one tear fall from his eye.

"No, but I do know what it is like to lose someone close, I know the pain, I know the guilt that never goes away and I know how hard it is to get over it." I let out a breath, looking into his eyes.

He unexpectedly held me in a tight hug, "I can't do this." He whispered sadly.

"Yes you can, you can." I urged back, I let a tear run free from my eye.

I pulled away and looked up at him, "I will see you in there, she is prepped so whenever your ready . . ." I sighed and pulled him in for a kiss, my lips feeling as if they were on fire, I felt on top of the world.

I pulled away and turned, walking away quickly, I didn't look back, he dissevered to be alone before he did this.

I walked to the O.R (operating room) and washed my hands, pulling on my overalls and gloves. I wiped my eyes and then walked through the door, I walked over to Elizabeth, she was unconscious, her little arms and bare chest were covered in needles and pads that monitored her heart rate and blood pressure. She looked peaceful and I rubbed her arm lightly before moving to the back of the room, I watched as Edward walked in, his scrub cap was different, it had some rugby players on it and a shamrock, I sighed quietly and sat on a stool along with three other nurses that were also observing.

I watched as Edward stopped to look at Elizabeth, his eyes scared for the unknown but he was keeping strong, I could see that in his eyes.

I saw him go around to her head, he called for a scalpel and then began, I watched in the screen as he pulled the skin back off the bone before cutting threw it and getting to the brain, I looked as he worked threw the surgery, his moves careful and exact, I noticed occasionally he would roll his neck or look to the side, I saw that if he didn't feel comfortable he would stop only for a moment before continuing with what he was doing.

Elizabeth was stable but she had a few slip ups, her heart rate decreased and so did her blood pressure, but we were lucky that it went back to normal so that the brain didn't swell.

After the surgery Edward walked out, he scrubbed his hands and took his overalls off, he walked away before I had even got up off the stool.

I sighed and got up, I did the same as everyone else, I walked to the recovery room, finding Elizabeth's parents and Edward, he finished explaining what was going to happen from this moment on, he gestured for me to follow him and I did, he lead me to his office and he went behind his chair, as I sat in front of him.

"I need you to get her blood pressure and monitor her every hour to two hours are you on call tonight?" He asked.

"Yes." I answered.

"So am I." He smiled a bit, not much but it was a good sign.

"Are you okay after what happened?" I asked.

He stood up and walked over to me. "I am perfect." He looked into my eyes.

I looked back into his eyes and smiled, I noticed his hands wrap around me in a protective hold and I snuggled into it, "Will you be my girlfriend?" He whispered.

"Yes." I smiled widely, he smiled and his lips touched mine, and soon enough my tongue was in his mouth letting him dominate, I wrapped my hands around his neck, my fingers in his hair. I moaned causing him to groan loudly. I pulled away for air and took a breath, hugging myself to him, his arms wrapped around my torso and I sighed in content.

"Bella?"

"Yes." I whispered.

"On Saturday do you want me to pick you up from your house and bring you to that pool party?" He asked.

"I would love you to do that." I replied, I loosened my hold around him and pulled away, "I have to check on Elizabeth." He nodded and handed me her chart, he gave me a peck on the lips and I walked out of his office, we both had smiles on our faces.

I walked to the recovery wing and went to her room, she looked peaceful as she slept and I put her on more morphine as she had told her mother she was in pain. I checked over her and then went to the nurse's station to document it all down.

I was typing on the computer when someone sat beside me, I expected Edward but instead I turned to see Dr. Carlisle Cullen, I gulped.

"Can I talk to you in my office for a moment or two?" He asked.

I nodded and then began following him, he gestured for me to sit in a chair in his office while he went to his desk chair. He looked at me and I sighed.

"Am I in trouble?" I asked, my voice tired and stressed.

"Yes and no, as chief I am not happy with you two being emotionally together, as his father I am more than happy that he found a beautiful girl like you, but as chief I have to tell you that what your doing is going to get you kicked off this program, I don't want that to happen so you either change the program that are on this sheet I will give you or you will suffer the consequence's and you will not be a member of staff in this hospital." He looked at me; he gave me a file with about 15 pages in it.

I guess I had to have a different career, I will not allow Edward to give up his dream job.

"Can I have time to review?" I asked.

"Yes, I will give you a week." He nodded and gestured to the door; I got up and went to the lounge.

I stuffed the file in my backpack and then went to see Elizabeth again; this was going to be a very long night . . .
