A/N: So, I was able to get every chapter in the original story to 2,000 words and was able to get 2 extra chapters in. Now I'm heading to my goal of 30 chapters as I near the end of the book.

Also, I tried my hardest to get all this medical information right but doing a couple days of research, if anything is wrong please let me know and I will try to go back and fix it.

I spent the whole day in the hospital just letting the good doctor run every test he could think of or felt the need to have done.

I had a hearing test done and I couldn't believe how perfectly clear I could hear every little sound. Carlisle was hopping my hearing had gone back to normal, but the test concluded that my hearing was still advanced, and it may be a permanent side effect. I was ok with the super hearing, it just meant that I could take better car of myself because I would be able to tell if something was coming for me. It was also nice to have so I could ease drop on everyone else to see if they were talking about me or about to come disturb me.

A vision tests also concluded that my eye sight was better than 40/40 vision. Once again Carlisle was hoping my eyesight went back to normal, but I enjoyed having the added vision. He wanted to do another test in a month to determine if this would be a permanent effect or not. I could see things so clear that I could physically see the moisture in the air. It also helped to see at night, and it made me less afraid to go out at night. It was one of the things that helped me get over my attack and I wasn't going to be willing o give it up anytime soon.

My blood came back and looked completely normal. There wasn't a single sign that there was still vampire blood in my system. Under the scope it seemed like my blood had been altered but that was it. All levels were within the range they were supposed to be at which meant I didn't need any transfusions or medications and I didn't have to take any supplements. I was happy about that because I didn't know how I'd feel about having to taking pills every day. He did wasn't to do blood work in a couple of weeks to see if anything changes or if it stays the same.

A quick nip of my skin showed that it was healthy. It hadn't hardened up or started to deteriorate which was really good because that was one of the things Carlisle was worried about. He thought maybe the vampire blood would have a lasting effect on my skin and if I did ever get sick or needed test done then he wouldn't be able to do them because no needle would be able to pierce my skin. We did notice though that the place where he cut me had already healed and there wasn't a scar left behind. That interested the both of us since it kind of meant I would heal way faster than normal so I wasn't that breakable like the guys think. The skin didn't heal up right away but within an hour so the doctor didn't know if it meant that how my body will heal within hours from now on or it meant that the venom was working its way out of my body. He wanted to run this test in a couple of weeks as well.

Carlisle had me try to punch through a brick and even though I could only put a dent in it, my hand was very sore after. I didn't break any bones or have any open wounds, but the good doctor was nice enough to give me some Tylenol. So, I wasn't super strong, but I could probably kick Jake's ass if I tried, which was nice to know in case he was an ass again and I needed to teach him, or one of the other guys, a lesson.

A painful EMG (Electromyography)test was done to find out how my nerves were doing. The results showed that I was slightly more sensitive but not enough to run more test on. Carlisle said the test weren't human, but they weren't vampire or anything, so he wanted to run some test on Leah. He had never run test on an imprint before and was curious if my heightened nerves were due to the bond I shared with my wolf. I told him I could talk to Leah and see if she would be willing to do it.

My head CT (Computed Tomography) scan showed that all the fractures in my skull were almost all the way healed. Carlisle was surprised that they weren't 100% healed already. His conclusion was that the vampire blood wasn't as strong as it had been before, so my body was starting to heal normally now. He said I would have to take it a little easier since I wasn't healing super-fast like before and if I started to experience migraines or dizziness then I had to call him immediately. He said blurry vision and weak muscles were also serious signs and I shouldn't take them any lightly.

The full body CT scan showed no abnormal growths. It also showed no broken bones, which meant the cast came off my arm today from when I punched Jake in the nose. It did show that my bones were slightly bigger. I mean I guess that would be a weird abnormal growth, but it wasn't causing problems and it wasn't in just one part of my body. The bone also didn't grow enough to show through my skin which is why no one knew until the scans. Carlisle didn't seem too worried about it but he said it was something the both of us had to keep an eye on. He said if I experience a random growth spurt or bones start coming out my skin then to let him know asap.

My PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan showed some abnormalities. My brain was functioning faster than it should be. Something that could altogether seriously injure me if it got any faster or if I tried to retain any memories or thoughts faster than my body could process it. Nothing seemed damaged or in danger of becoming in danger right now, but Carlisle was worried that I might not be able to handle it. My brain scan was showing that of a vampires, working almost too fast for the human eye to catch. He told me it would be like a computer, if I tried to store too much or work too fast then the chance of a crash happening was raised.

A full body MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan showed that most of my organs were normal. One of my kidneys wasn't functioning as it should and the other was working overtime to support the other. There were a couple of scars on my right kidney, but the kidney wasn't in failure and since my blood work was normal then the only thing Carlisle could think about was that the vampire blood had somehow affected it. The doctor wanted to keep a better eye on it and told me if I experienced intense pain out of the blue in my lower back, notice I have to pee more often, notice none of my pants or shoes fit, feel nauseous and haven't had an appetite, or find I am getting confused more than normal to let him know because they are signs that my kidney is failing.

Carlisle said if I faint, start to have weird thoughts or anything to give him a call. He also said if I start to feel overwhelmed or suicidal then I needed to get to him asap. He did want to run this test again in a couple weeks but until then he didn't see anything wrong with the scan. He knew I was advanced right now because of the vampire blood and already figured my brain would be affected.

They had me run on a treadmill while hooked up to a spirometry. My breathing was fine and if anything, I was able to breathe a little better. I was also faster than a human but not as fast as a vampire. This would come in handy when running with the wolves for fun. I'm sure they would slow down to keep up with me and I just think running with Jake would be an amazing experience. I also think it would be nice if I could stay running a little faster than I did before so that I could be able to outrun predators. Of course, I don't think I would be fast enough to outrun mythical creatures, but human ones would be good enough.

An ECG (electrocardiogram) showed my heart was fine and was actually in better shape than it had been before. I had a heart murmur that doctors kept a close eye on from my birth, but that hole seemed to have closed and gone away. I was glad the thing was gone because then if it did ever start to act up, I wouldn't have to go through the surgery my mother wanted me to have or you know…die out of the blue or something. The whole being gone would contribute to why I could breathe a lot better. Without the whole, my heart was pumping blood as fast as before which meant I didn't have to take my time.

And lastly an ultrasound showed that my ovaries were normal and so wasn't my uterus. Further test, such as an antral follicle count, did show that I didn't have too many eggs though and that getting pregnant could be a problem. Carlisle offered to have some of my eggs frozen so that if I did choose to get pregnant, I would still have eggs to do it. He also said he would be able to artificially inseminate me to make sure the eggs had been fertilized and that their survival rate was good. I told him I needed some time to think about it because although I know it was smart to freeze the eggs and have him fertilize them, I still wanted to get regnant the old fashion way. I wanted to be surprised when it happened, but it didn't mean I was saying no.

So, by the time I was able to dress in my own clothes and talk over all the results, the sun was setting. I was fairly human and should be able to resume all normal activities, but I don't know if I was ready to tell everyone exactly what I learned today. To be honest I don't think anyone eve remembered my appointment today. NO one had called or texted me all day and I knew that is how I wanted it but then again, I would have thought Jake would have messaged me when he wasn't busy.

Today was the first day in a week since I didn't have anyone with me. The first day in a week I had some privacy to do what I wanted without someone breathing down my neck. It felt wonderful to have some freedom and even thought this was how I wanted things, a part of me was disappointed no one checked up on me. I mean they were probably pissed at me because I snuck out the house and didn't tell anyone where I was going, but shouldn't that have had them blowing up my phone? Or using their snouts to track me down?

"Do you have someone who is picking you up?" The nurse asked as I was checking out of hospital.

"I took a cap and I already called for a new one. It should be here soon, I was going to wait downstairs until I got the call." I said as I signed some papers.

"Ok. Here is the contact information for the phycologist and here are the papers going over everything you talked with Dr. Cullen about today. Here is a prescription for Lorazepam for anxiety and it should last you until next month. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask, Dr. Cullen already said you are top priority and to put you through immediately." She smiled kindly at me as if she felt sorry for me for my awful day.

"Do I schedule my next appointment with you…?" I trailed off as she took one of the papers from the stack and circled it with a highlighter.

"He already made the appointment. If you must cancel or reschedule please call within 24-hours. It's about a 6-hour window so feel free to eat before you come. You will also be signed in as a patient so you will get lunch while you're here and if things happen to run long or an emergency comes in, then you will also get dinner unless you order out. Also, if you want to bring a book or a friend you are more than welcome too." I nodded at her and gently took the stack of papers from her.

I thanked her and headed downstairs. I had some things I needed to think about, but it could wait a couple days. I told Carlisle I would give him my answer about the eggs at our next appointment. That gave me 5 weeks to talk about this with Jake and see how he felt on the whole thing. I was hoping he did want children and he wanted them the old fashion way, but I also hoped he thought it would be a smart idea to freeze a couple just in case something happens.

I sat in the waiting room to the main entrance as I waited for my cab to get here. I wanted to plan something special for Jake and me since I got the ok to have sex. It was up to me on whether I wanted to use a condom for the chance of pregnancy. I was hoping I could talk with Jake about it and see how he felt about it because it wouldn't just my life that would change, it would be his as well. I knew I was almost ready to take that step with him, but I needed to rant about some things first.

I was hoping we could have that talk tonight or tomorrow night since I would be eating at his house with Billy. We had decided last night that today he would go back to living with his dad even though I did enjoy having him in the next room. I just needed sometime to myself and it wasn't like he was making it easy on me to have him there. We haven't kissed in 2 days and not one hug in 24-hours.

My phone rang and I walked outside to the bright yellow cab. It needed a good cleaning, but I wasn't going to say anything about it, it wasn't my car. I gave the creepy looking guy the address to the Cullen's since there was no way I was telling him my address. I guess I could have a chat with Rosalie before anything and maybe she could shed some light on a couple things floating in my head.
