*It had been a long time since Emmett and I had so much fun hunting. Since we only feed off of animals, hunting has became something that we HAVE to do, not something that we want to do. Today was different tho, we actually had fun together, plus there was nothing like a big jungle cat's blood to make you feel renewed. "Love, are you ready to head over to the clinic? It should be just over that ridge there" I said as I pointed to the right. "I can't wait to see everyone again and catch up with Zoe" I smiled as Emmett finished brushing off his jeans. He was such a messy eater but he was my messy eater! He took my hand in his and we started towards the village and the clinic*

*Emmett grinned and stood as he dusted himself off from the soil that covered the forest they had been hunting in. Feeling refreshed and full from the huge cat's blood. Licking his lips and making sure he was clear of blood as he smiled and nodded.*
I would love to accompany my lovely wife there.
*He said as he bent his arm at the elbow offering it to her to slide hers through. As she did so they began to walk the trail that led to the clinic that Rosalie held dear to her heart. Giving her a kiss on the temple as they walked, he looked around at the beautiful flowers blooming and trees growing making vegetation thick.*

*Being vampires we could have rushed there in a blink of an eye but we took our time. There was something about this place that was magical. After about a 10 minute walk, we entered the clearing that housed the village. The villagers all looked up and smiles as we made our way through towards the clinic that sat on the hilltop. The children ran around, laughing. "Oh Emmett, they look so much more healthy and happy don't they?" I asked as we continued up the hill. "Yes, love. Thanks to you" he winked at me and kissed my forehead. We were always mindful to slow our movements down, to appear more "human" when we were in the village, which was hard for me now, once I was in the village. I just couldn't wait to see the staff and of course Zoe. It had been almost 2 month, one week shy of it, since we had seen each other and even tho it was a new feeling for me, I was starting to miss her. We finally made it to the top of the hill and onto the front stoop of the clinic. I was about to open the doors, when one of the Brazilian nurses opened the glass doors, stopping me in my tracks. "Senhorita Hale, graças a Deus você está aqui!" {Miss. Hale, thank God you are here} the nurse said, grabbing my arm free from Emmett's, pulling me into the clinic. I just looked at Emmett confused as she lead us towards the back*

"Yes, love. Thanks to you." *He said before kissing her forehead. As they entered the village he looked around seeing smiling healthier kids running around. They laughed, they played, they were so much better than 7 weeks ago. Smiling down to Rosalie as he agreed with how well they looked. Once they reached the doors of the clinic, the glass door was flung open to a hysteric nurse who spoke in her native language. He wasn't all that great at translation, but was learning. He understood part of it, the look on Rosalie's face explained the rest. Bringing his brows together in confusion as the nurse pulled Rosalie into the clinic, Emmett followed worried. What had happened?

*The nurse continued to pull me through the clinic passed the patients room, towards the back of the clinic where the trauma room was. " É o seu amigo, Zoe. Ela é muito muito doente" {It is your friend, Zoe, she is very very ill} she said as she stopped in front of the trauma room. "Zoe?" I asked more confused then ever. Zoe was just fine when I lasted talked to her. How long ago was it....two, three weeks at the most? What could have happened? My hand was on the door and I was about to slide it open when it started to open on it's own. Dr. Cruz, one of the part time doctors employed by the clinic, stepped out, sliding to glass door closed behind him. I was able to look passed him and into the room to see Zoe, laying still, very pale. Eyes closed. I could hear her heart. She was bradycardic. Her heart was barely beating. "Miss. Hale" Dr. Cruz said through a very think accent. "I must talk to you before you go in there to see her. Please follow me" he gestured towards his office. Giving one last look through the glass doors, Em and I follow him into his office, shutting to door behind us. "Please have a seat" I took one of the two seats positioned across from his desk. "Dr. Cruz. What is going on? When did she get so sick? Why didn't someone call me?" I was full of questions and I wanted answers. "Miss Hale, Zoe is very sick. All her symptoms point towards....cancer. Dr. Torres and myself have both examined her and we both agree that it must be a fast growing tumor. It is rare but unfortunately it does happen. We have drawn some blood but the results have not came in yet. We offered to send her to the mainland, to the hospital there but she wanted to wait for you" I looked from the doctor to Emmett and back to the doctor. "I want to see her" I said standing. "of course but I must warn you she is very weak and in a lot of pain. We have her medicated so she has been sleeping alot" he stood and came across the desk, opening the door for me. "You need to talk her into going to the mainland Miss Hale, she needs treatment fast or I am scared she will not make it" he held the door for me as I passed through. "Yes, yes of course. I will get her there" One last look at Emmett and I slid the glass door open and made my way to her bedside*

*He took Rosalie's hand into his, knowing she was worried. He knew Rosalie had a big heart, she put up a good front but deep down she was the most caring person he'd known. Besides his father, Carlisle. Aside from Bella, Zoe was the first human she'd let in, in a long long time. She didn't trust humans much but she trusted Zoe. And now, her friend was in trouble and Rosalie was concerned. As they walked into the room, her hand in his, he took in the sight of Zoe in the bed. She looked awful, attached to all the wires, blood transfusion bags, medicine, fluids. A machine monitored her heart rate, which was barely beating. Her face sunken in, scary looking. It didn't even look like Zoe anymore. It reminded him of Bella when she was pregnant for Renesmee. Cocking a brow at the thought. He said nothing just stood by Rosalie's side.*

<Zoe laid there, non-moving. Her breathing shallow, her heart rate slow. The pain came and went. Something was happening to her and she didn't understand what. The pain had ceased a little as the medication began to work. The doctors had told her she'd been diagnosed with a cancerous fast growing tumor in her abdomen. She was dying and had no family in the world to call. Clinging to life as she hung on knowing Rose would be coming back soon.>
"AHHHH!" <She screamed as her eyes bolted open and she sat up grabbing her stomach. The pain. It was as if there was something moving inside, ripping the insides to shreds. Sweat beads on her forehead as she looked up to see Rose, breaking down in sobs>
"Rose....I'm.....dy---ing.....UGHHHH" <Her eyes squint shut as the pain continued.>

*I rushed to my friend's side. Grabbing her hand as she reached out to me. I heard the words she uttered but I just couldn't believe them. Nothing in my years at med school prepared me for this. I had just spoken with her a few weeks ago. She was happy and healthy, even hinted to possibly be ready to start dating again, to live her life again. This person that laid in front of me was just a shell of the woman I saw two months ago. Had she been sick all this time and we just didn't know it? NO, that wasn't possible, I would have smelled it. Cancer was a awful disease, robbing people of many things before finally taking their life. I thought back to my days on the Oncology ward, during my clinical days in school. I could smell the cancer the minute I walked onto the ward. It was an awful smell of dying, rotten flesh from the inside out. I would never forget that smell and I would have been able to smell it the last time I was with Zoe. Looking over at Em, I took a deep breath in and held it. All I smelled was her blood and the medication that was being pumped into her. There was no cancer. "Zoe, love. Can you tell me what has been going on since I left. Where you sick and just not saying anything to me? I just can't figure out why you are so sick, so fast. Please, tell me so I can help you"

<The minute Rose's cold hand touched hers, it was soothing. Her body was hot, then cold, at the current moment she felt like she was on fire. Squeezing Rose's hand, very weakly as she laid back once the pain stopped. Nausea set in and she pointed to the trash, Rose grabbed it quickly and she vomited. Embarrassed that she was so ill in front of them both as she wiped her mouth and laid back once more. Breathing heavily as she shifted her body to get comfortable.>
"Zoe, love. Can you tell me what has been going on since I left. Where you sick and just not saying anything to me? I just can't figure out why you are so sick, so fast. Please, tell me so I can help you"
<She looked up at Rosalie and smiled.> "Aw, darlin'. It is what it is I guess. All happened so quick. Just two weeks ago, Sal and I were really connecting. We even...." <She looked at Emmett and blushed as he chuckled and nodded, excusing himself. "I'll wait outside, baby." He told her, waiting until he was out of ear shot to continue.> "We made love on the beach...oh Rose, it was AMAZING. Then...he didn't call like he said." <Her head went down as tears fell.>
"It's okay that I'm dying, I have no one anyhow. I'm not worthy of it, I guess. Then things just sort of started changing. Nausea. Pain, tired all the time. Then this..."
<She lifted her hospital gown to show her swollen belly how black and blue with bruises it was.>
"They say its a tumor...."

*If my heart could break it would. This was not the fun loving girl that I had become so close to. I listened as she told me about....about Sal? Who was Sal and why didn't I know about him already. Was she depressed because he never saw her again after they made lov.....they made love? "Zoe love, who is Sal? How did you meet him?"

<She smiled and put her gown down, taking a deep breath and wincing at the pain on her side, a massive pressure that wouldn't stop. Tumors were not supposed to move, at least she didn't think so.> "Sal...or Salvatore De Luca. He's that guy at the bar that night, you remember!? So charming. We have so much in common. His number isn't working and I guess I was the one who got shafted. Again. He travels alot, so maybe he lost his phone with all the numbers?"
<She sighed again knowing it was wishful thinking, looking back to Rose with wide eyes.> "Rosalie....FEEL!" <grabbing her hand and placing it on her stomach> "Tumors don't MOVE! What's happening to me?!?! What is that?!?" <Closing her eyes tightly as it moved, making everything hurt.>

*I stood there with my hand resting on her abdomen. Something was moving. Tumors don't move, not like that. I listened to her tell me about Salvatore, the man she met when we were in Rio or better yet, the vampire she met. All of sudden flashes of memories flooded my mind. Bella, sick, gray, belly swollen with child. Didn't Zoe say she and this....vampire made love? Pulling my hand back as the answer hit me like a brick wall. "Umm, ahh, Zoe, love. I...I need to step out and make a quick phone call. Please just rest until I get back. I will tell a nurse to come in and give you something to help with the nausea. Ok" I started out the room when Zoe called out to me "Rose, what is wrong with me? Am I really dying?" I looked over my shoulder and saw the fear in her eyes. "Zoe, no you will not die if I can help it" I tried to smile as I rushed out of the room and into the Dr.'s office across the hall. Picking up the phone I made the international call to Forks, praying that Carlisle was home*

*Being on call with the hospital, helping Esme with the house plans for Paul and Rachels engagement present, the contractor is having a bit of a problem with the tribal elders with permission and permits, I have Jacob trying to smooth things with them for his pack mates present. Hearing my private line ringing in the studying excusing myself from my dear wife, heading upstairs to answer the phone,*
Hello Cullen Residence, Dr. Carlisle Cullen speaking.

*I stood there on pins and needles listening to the phone ring, I was about to hang up when I heard my father's voice answer. "Carlisle, it's me Rose. We have a problem here at the clinic" I proceeded to tell him what was going on. The symptoms that Zoe had. I told him about our trip to Rio and the rouge vampire that Zoe had met there. I was speaking so fast that he had to tell me to slow down more then once. "Carlisle, is what I am thinking right? Could she be pregnant by a....." I let my words trail off cause I didn't want to risk someone on the other side of the office door hearing me*

*Quickly processing the occurrence with the vampire and the symptoms Rose is describing to me, I do a off the cuff assessment, telling her,*
Rose you more than well know that with the time frame, the symptoms that are showing, it's more than highly likely the fetus she is carrying is from a vampire. You need to start with the X rays and measuring her almost hourly, push the morphine for the pain, zofran for the nausea. I will have Alice get a chartered plane you will all have to return to Forks, I will ready things here for her comfort and the impending birth.
