AN: I do not own Twilight, just playing with the characters.

AN 2: I vow not to reveal all so soon,no fun in that. Questions and plot twists are bound to come up.

The amount of cases I am having are ridiculous. Hurricane Elise has been decked the worst hurricane to hit Texas of all time. The death toll is up to 3,000.

All I want to do is sleep in my own apartment on base. Is that too much to ask for. The base took every precaution in the book and with it being more inland and high up meet better safety. The only damage we had was mass power outage.

I think of what the Cullen have been saying to me and this is what I think so far. I can tone down on being a bitch to them. Edward, if I want to play the blame game is at fault especially since he raped me and I did not even know it. Edward had us all fooled. Carlisle should have been less of a pushover and given into the whim of a seventeen.

Now, I am still trying to figure out. Did Edward's cursed gift work like the date rape drug? That would explain no memory which I am great full of. Now as a nurse, let's go through the physical reasons why I have never figured it out.

First, I was on the pill in high school and it was not because I was a slut like Lauren. The pill can be used for those who have bad periods.

I was a klutz back then and had bruises on me from bumping into objects but none of them looked like finger or hand print bruises.

Secondly, as for feeling something I can explain that one. Right before moving to Forks I had a pelvic ultrasound in which the wand had to go up into my vagina. I technically lost my virginity to a medical test to see if I have endometriosis. Thankfully it was negative but the test hurt like hell.

Third is the pain factor. Could have Edward used the gift to somehow numb me up? His cold body temperature could have played a role in that. I was used to have constant pelvic pain as a teenager so I would have thought nothing of it.

One thing is for certain, I will not discuss my personal gynecological care Carlisle. It has nothing to do with him being a vampire and all to do with him being a man. I see a Captain Nora Bergeron. She is my gynecologist. Since I have had period problems, seeing female doctors is what I am comfortable with.

I was not paying attention when Carlisle came up to me and asked "Bella, have you been back to the base to even get a break from this?"

Healthcare worker and sleep are contradictions. Add in a natural disaster and I have only been able to get to sleep for five hours, just as much as I was able to sleep with in Afghanistan.

"No Carlisle, I am fine. Besides, I am a soldier and I am expected to tough it out."

That was when Jasper said "Even soldiers need breaks and you have been at it non stop since the disaster stuck. Colonel Reed said it herself."

Carlisle looked at me with concern "Bella, you know you need to have some rest with working in the OR. Five hours of sleep is not enough."

Why do I feel like I am being ganged up on, wait I am. Then add strike three with Colonel Reed.

"Lt. Swan, I have an order for you since I am your CO. I have spent a day back at base. You are off duty for the next 24:00 hours. Not a word, that is an order I do agree with especially with you having to sleep with noise cancelling headphones on."

I gave her a salute and packed my bag. Jasper had a Hummer which we left in. All I could see is destruction. Trees are down everywhere and debris in the road. Something came to mind.

"Wait a minute, you have been out in the sun in just short sleeves. How did you not expose your sparkly selves?"

It was Carlisle who began to laugh.

"Rosalie was working on her third doctorate in chemistry when she made her project. You have heard about that sun block which lasts all day and will not come off unless you use hot, soapy water and no light can get through? That was Rosalie ' s project which has been getting praise all over the world. Let's just say we keep it in giant jars at the house."

I have heard of it and it has been recommended to the troops who are deployed. Hell, I even used it and the stuff works.

We pulled into the driveway and I saw a car that looks like something Rosalie. It is bright red and a convertible.

I grabbed my bag out of the back when Jasper sent me away. "Bella, you are on break which break means you will not carry that bag inside."

Another battle I just lost, well I guess he is a southern gentleman. That was when a blue came out and spun me around.

"PUT ME DOWN YOU ASSHOLE."

It was Emmett "Damn you know how to curse."

"It is what I get from being in the army."

Emmett looked over to Jasper "It's true, I learned my worst in the war."

Esme had her hands on her hips "Language!"

"Sorry Mom/Esme."

That woman acts more like a mom than Renee.

Rosalie looks at me funny in my uniform as does Esme. One thing is for certain, I am not the clumsy 18 year old they left behind.
