Disclaimer: I do not own twilight, if I did Jacob's imprint would've never happened and nessie would have never existed. Peace to those who disagree.
A/N: hi! So sorry for not updating. Thanks for the reviews by the way. I'm glad you all liked the story so far. Take note that this story would only be 10-15 chapters. I'll see if a sequel is to be led after. So enjoy chapter 8 everyone.

"Does it still hurt?" I asked as I bandaged the two year old's knee. I was in the new children's hospital which was one of the hospitals dad's company funds and where he currently spends his time in since my take over.
"A lil' bit." She said as I saw her biting back her tears. Tracy just had an accident, falling off her bike and into a piece of glass, leading to a deep wound on her leg. Her blonde hair was still a disarray from earlier and her Pink t-shirt and jeans were dirty and slightly torn, she had a small yellow backpack that she didn't want to remove.
I sighed and stood up from my stool and set Tracy down from the bed and onto the floor. "You're all done, make sure your wound doesn't get wet and dirty, and listen to your mom next time." I instructed, bending down so we were almost at the same level.
"Tracy! Time to go!" her mom called, I turned around only to see someone I've never expected to see.
"What a pleasant surprise Edward! I never knew how good you look in a Doctor's gown." She said as she looked at me with hungry eyes. I shivered in disgust and tried to compose myself.
"Uh… okay then." I gulped. It was obvious that she was trying to flirt with me, even after what happened in that party yesterday. I looked at Tracy and she was staring at the floor trying to hide behind me.
"Tracy. You could go home with mommy now, will you be alright?" I asked seeing the fear in Tracy's eyes. "Of course she will be!" Tanya said looking really offended, walking towards Tracy and grabbing her arm rather aggressively.
"Just be calm Tanya. I didn't mean to offend you." I said as I neared Tanya trying to grab Tracy. I hope Tanya wouldn't start a scene in a children's hospital……
"You think I couldn't take care of her because I'm no billion-dollar-supermodel-miss-goody-two-shoes!" she shrieked, causing everyone from the nurses to the patients to look at her. She threw Tracy on the floor, making her cry out loud because of the pain from her wound.
"You know what! I don't even care about that kid! She's another mouth to feed! Her father is a lousy prick; I just needed cash and look what he gave me instead! And I think the ransom money isn't enough for me to keep that mistake by my side!" she screamed like a mad man. She turned on her heel and left the hospital, leaving Tracy behind. Everyone stared at her, stunned by the scene.
I quickly rushed to Tracy's side, picking her up and rushed her to the hospital's receptionist. I sat her on the desk, not knowing what I should do next. "Tracy? What did your mommy do to you?" I asked, trying to remain calm and in control.
"She's not my mommy. She got me from daddy when I went to visit grandma. I'm so scared. I want my daddy!" She said as her tears started to run down her cheeks. I hugged her and tried to whisper comforting words.
"Do you know where your daddy is?" I asked, as she pulled back and sniffed. "Ah. He let me memorize a number, he said press it on the phone when something bad happens!" she cheered. She looked up and started counting.
"The number is 91….. 2?" she said tilting her head to the side. I sighed. "It's 911 Tracy, but that's great!" I said, trying to be cheerful. Suddenly the receptionist held out the phone for me to take.
"Dr. Cullen, there's a man named Sean Brookes looking for you, he's a bit panicky so be careful." She said as she handed me the phone. I nodded and took it bringing it to my ear.
"Hello? Mr. Brookes?" I said cautiously. "Where's my daughter? Is she there? Is she alright?" I could hear him panicking at the other end of the line. I looked at Tracy, finding her playing with the receptionist.
"I assure his safety Mr. Brookes. He had an accident today as was brought here by Tanya Denali, does the name ring a bell Mr. Brookes?" I asked, wondering selfishly if she really had any relations with him and Tracy.
"She's… the child's mother. I never expected her to take Tracy away after she abandoned her after giving birth. She just wants money, but I guess she must have regretted getting her because of her guilt. She called me up and told me where Tracy was and I'll get her as soon as I come there the day after tomorrow. Will she be alright?" he asked concerned.
"I'm pretty sure she will be. Would you like to talk to her?" he mumbled a yes and I instantly handed Tracy the phone.
"Daddy!! Yes… He's nice…. No… I don want!" I heard her say on the phone. She then handed it to me, the tears returning. "Dr. Cullen, could you… god I can't believe I'm saying this…. But could you take care of Tracy for Two days? The next plane leaves tomorrow so I have nothing to do about it….." he said, his voice sounding like he was already in tears.
I looked at Tracy and took a deep breath, I hope Esme still knows how to take care of little children after 25 years. "I assure her safety Mr. Brookes. I'll give you my contact details…" I gave him my phone number and address and soon he said his goodbye. I took Tracy by the hand and looked at my wrist watch. It was already five thirty in the evening and I would be back home at around seven….
"Tracy, you'll be staying at our house for two days. Your Daddy will come pick you up soon after." I explained as we walked going to my office. I grabbed my bag and my jacket and went to the parking lot, Tracy holding my hand.
I settled her inside dad's Mercedes and drove as carefully as possible, trying to resist driving fast. I looked at Tracy and found her sound as sleep smiling as she leaned her head to the side.
I can't believe Tanya, how could she do this to Tracy? I mean, is she really that desperate for money? I'm no god to judge, but I couldn't believe her. Back in high school, she was rich; she didn't need anyone but her friends and cherishes her so called 'popularity' more than anything. But what had happened to her now, even pulling Bella into her agony, really comes to show that she's nothing but a slut.
It was seven fifteen when we came to the house. I turned off the ignition and rushed to the other side to carry Tracy out. I opened the front door but found it locked. I noticed everything was dark and Alice's Porsche and Emmett's jeep were all gone. I set Tracy down at one of the benches and took out my phone to call mom.
"Hello, Edward. Are you at home?" she said answering on the second ring. "Yeah mom… umm listen, I have a visitor and I really need someone's help." I said slightly embarrassed. Though I'm a heart surgeon and all, and majority of my patients were children, I never seemed to be that good at taking care of kids, them not being a patient.
"Come over to Charlie's house, dinner will start in fifteen minutes. We have extras, so your guest could join us too. See you then." And with that she hung up the phone. I took Tracy and buckled her in the car and drove to Charlie's house. I wonder what their reactions would be.
Before I knew it, we were already in front of the house. I parked the car and got out to once again carry a sleeping Tracy out. She sniffed and laid her head on my shoulder. I felt this warm feeling inside, somewhat fatherly and protective. I smiled and rubbed her back with my free hand.
"Are you hungry Tracy?" I whispered as I walked towards the front door. I heard laughing inside the house followed by an angry Emmett. "Hey! That was not funny." I opened the door and the room fell silent.
"Edward." Bella spoke, breaking the silence. I saw them all staring at Tracy. "Sorry for being late." I said going to one of the big empty coaches and laying Tracy there.
"Dude! Where did you get a child?!" he said in awe as he stared at the child from his position on the floor, he must've fallen earlier, which caused everyone laughing before we came in.
I looked around the room and saw Alice, Jasper, Bella, Rosalie and Emmett going back to what they were doing earlier, except for Emmett who was not trying to stand. "Dinner is ready everyone!" Mom said coming in the living room, quickly spotting Tracy.
"Oh my! Is she your guest Edward? How cute." She said going near her and running a hand through Tracy's short blonde hair. She let out a laugh and stood up returning to the kitchen. Everyone went in the dining chair and I took my sit across Bella, who looked as radiant as ever. Her hair was tied into a bun, but still looked so perfect. Her lips were rosy red and really natural, she looked so perfect that I didn't even notice Alice nudging me.
"Hey! Stop staring at Bella and start eating!" she screamed loud enough to make me deaf. Everyone snickered and Bella blushed. I started eating. "Edward?" I heard Tracy call from the living room. I looked her way and saw her standing up and walk towards the dining room.
"Why don't you sit next to Bella. Over there." I pointed to the vacant seat next to Bella. Bella smiled and patted the chair, Tracy's eyes lit up and she practically ran towards her.
"Hi Tracy, I'm Bella." She said smiling down at Tracy and tucking her behind her ear. "You're pretty." Tracy declared, well that's one thing I know I'm sure of.

"You're pretty." Tracy said surprising me. She looked so adorable and small, it really warms my heart when I look at her. "Why thank you Tracy. Now, what would you like to eat?" I asked, placing the table napkin on her lap. She pointed at the mash potatoes and I grabbed a scoop and placed it on her plate.
She started eating and I went back to eating mine. I looked around the table and everyone was acting normal but the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. I cleared my throat, causing Edward to look up.
Esme looked at Edward then me, probably not liking the current atmosphere. "So how was work Edward?" she said. He sighed. "Everything was fine." He informed nodding. He was definitely hiding something.
"Tracy, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?" Emmett suddenly blurted out, which earned a smack from Rosalie. I looked at Tracy finding her looking calm and still eating.
Everyone was done with dinner and settled in the living room trying to find something to watch. "That's just plain lame. How could Kat von d say she's pregnant when she isn't? They showed it in the trailer, and it totally freaked me out." Jasper said to Emmett as he switched to another channel. I looked at Tracy who was sound asleep in the coach between Edward and I.
"Whose her mother Edward?" I asked. Edward gulped. "Tracy had an accident earlier and to my surprise, she turned out to be Tanya's. She got her from her father, kidnapping would be a potential word. She left Tracy after she gave birth to her, Tracy doesn't even know that Tanya was her mother." he sighed.
"Oh." I said, speechless. How could Tanya do this to a sweet girl? I would give anything up for this child…..
"Hey look 'Ellen' is on." I turned to the TV. And laughed to myself, what a day this is. I heard everyone gasp as I recalled what had happened on that day, while we were shooting.
(A/N: The Show 'Ellen' is not mine and anything I write here is purely fictional or if any case occurs, it is purely coincidental. Okay so Italic would be the dialogue on TV, which would be third person POV and everything follows. Get it?)
"Please welcome today's celebrity guest! Isabella M.S" Ellen announces as the crowd goes wild. Bella comes out waving to the audience and kisses Ellen on the cheek and vice versa.
"I am so glad to have you here Isabella." She says as they sit down. Bella gives out a laugh and nods her head. "I'm really glad to be here too. The audience is so alive." As she says the last part the audience cheers.
"So I've heard that you were going to release Swan magazines in Japan. Tough biz." Ellen whispers to her but was very audible to the audience. "Yeah, I um, actually Yamashita Tomohisa, a good friend of min from is helping me set things up in japan…." Bella explained.
"No way! The Japanese-supermodel-business-guy!!" Ellen said as the audience and Bella laughs in amusement. "Well he prefers to be called an entrepreneur, but close enough." Bella smiles.
"Okay Bella. I cannot believe you got interviewed by Ellen!" Alice squeals. "Well, I totally forgot that it was suppose to be aired today." I said as I combed Tracy's hair with my fingers.
"Well congratulations on that Isabella. Now, I'd just like to ask you a question…" Bella nods. "Do you have anyone special now, I mean come on, you're Isabella M.S! You're a supermodel, business woman, and not to mention young and beautiful, who wouldn't be interested in you?" she asks. Bella sighs.
"I guess I can't find someone I want to be involved with, is because I think I already found him…" Bella was silent, in her mind she was thinking of Edward. She didn't even mind the audience who was staring at her, confused yet touched that she was thinking of that somebody.
"So I guess its true love then." Ellen said. The room was silent. Bella smiled and nodded her head. "We'll wait and see." Bella finished with a smile. "Well, thank you for being here. Now, Isabella has a surprise for everyone. Everyone in the audience will take home a six month subscription from Swan magazines." Everyone cheers—
The screen turns black, I looked at Emmett and jasper, they were confused and the remote was out of their hands. I looked at Edward and he was staring at the wall, standing up and holding the remote control.
"Bella. Follow me." he whispered. I guess this would be the right time for me to confess.
A/N: Sorry it took so long. I made this chapter a bit longer, hope I'm forgiven. Please help me and give me ideas on what should happen next, i have no idea what to write and my mind is getting ahead of me by thinking about what should happen in the future. So till the next chapter!!
