Maria and Carlisle had just arrived at work when they were told about a man who had been working on his roof and had fallen down his ladder on the way up. In a quick move Maria had pulled on her doctors coat and made her way into the room the patient had been in, letting Carlisle have a bit more time to get ready as she did the first analysis of the patients wounds.

The first reaction she had when entering the room was to close the door, keeping all the nurses out as the scent of blood hit her nose. It was worse then anything she had ever smelt before, and not because it was a bad smell.

The patient was lying in a single bed in front of her with blood covering half of his body, and smelling like a full field of flowers. "Oh god" she whispered, covering her nose as she backed up into the wall, and the door opened once more.

"Maria?" Carlisle whispered when he saw her backed up against the wall. Realising what was going on her moved to the patient's side quickly and checked on his injuries.

"He's got a deep gash on his head and a few cuts and bruises along the rest of his body" he explained, hoping she was getting everything he was saying. He didn't know what he could do for Maria so he did what he could for the patient in front of him.

"Carlisle…" The scent was finally starting to work its way through Maria's systems. Her control was slowly slipping away as she continued to stand there "Carlisle stop…"

"Maria if you can't handle it leave the room" Carlisle's voice was distant as her head hit the wall, and she moved for the door. She had just touched the handle when another wave of the sweet scent hit her, and she turned on her feet.

"Maria…" if their body's had hit any harder there could have been an earthquake in the hospital. His arms clasped around her chest, holding her back from attacking the man as he continued to bleed. "Maria calm down"

"Let me go" she demanded, kicking and scratching at any part of his body she could find "let me go damn it!"

"I need to heal this man, and you need to calm down" his voice was cold and hard as he opened the door and threw her out gently "now calm down" he whispered, closing the door just as she started to run again, causing her to crash into it.

"Maria?" An hour later Maria looked up at Carlisle with eyes as dark as the night sky. He made his way across the floor as quick as he could, pulling her into his arms as she shook.

"I….I am so sorry Carlisle. I don't know what came over me"

"Your not use to being around so much blood yet" he whispered into her ear, running a soft hand down her arm while he held her close to his body. "it could happen to the best of us on our first time"

"Even you?"

"Almost. It took all my strength to walk out of the room and give the job to another doctor"

"How long ago was this?"

"347 years ago" he whispered so only she could hear him. "He'll be fine now Maria. Let's get you somewhere far away from this room"

"First good thing I've heard since I got here" He lead her away from the now crowded hallway and towards his corner office.

After pulling into the drive thru at the house Edward climbed out of his car just before Emmett pulled up beside him in the jeep, and everyone jumped out.

"No one ever wants to ride with me" he laughed softly

"That's because we get fresh air in Emmett's vehicle" Alice laughed as she climbed out of the back "Come on Mia; let's go put that stuff on Maria's bed.

"You still haven't explained to me why we got her a book of baby names and a new statue"

"I have my reasons" she smiled "now come on"

"I'm coming already" following Alice into the house Mia stopped in her tracks to catch the falling statue from hitting the ground. "Alice what was that!?"

"What are you doing here?" the low growl in her voice told Mia that there was something definitely wrong. She was just about to look up when the door swung open once again, letting Edward and Jasper in. Edward had just stopped beside Alice and looked into the living room.

"Esme" he hissed angrily
