Bella Swan sprinted into the hospital and for once didn't trip as she entered like her normal clumsy self. She nearly smacked into the nurses' table, "Where is Charlie Swan's room?" she demanded, tears streaming down her face.

"Unless-," the nurse started looking through the papers.

"I am his fucking daughter!" she snapped, "now please tell me where he is please," she whispered. All she remembered was Jacob dropping her off, because something had happened, and that she was at the house alone. The phone had rang a couple hours later with this hospital calling saying her father was in critical condition.

"Your father is in critical condition hun," the nurse said, softening her tone. "I'm sorry but I have to ask you to wait in the waiting room," Bella slumped and felt tears entering her eyes. This couldn't happen...not to Charlie. Not to her Dad. She walked over to the waiting room and put her head in her hands and started to sob. After a couple minutes, she pulled out her cellphone and dialed Jacob Black's house.

"Hello?" Billy's voice answered.

"Is.." Bella sniffled, "is Jake home?" she whispered, trying to hold back another wave of sobs.

"Bella...calm down and I will go get him ok?" Billy said, trying to soothe the sobbing girl. Bella heard shuffling in the background, and Jacob's voice came on.

"Bells, what's wrong hon-,"

"Just come to the hospital...Charlie..he..."

"Oh no..." Jake said, and she heard him breathing heavily, "Bella, I will be there in just a minute ok?" Jacob hung up the phone, and immediately grabbed a bag with spare clothes, and morphed into his werewolf form. He put the straps of the bags in his mouth and sprinted full speed towards the only hospital in Forks. Many things went through his head as he approached the hospital, he ignored the voices of his fellow werewolves, and managed to get to the hospital. Instantly he reverted back to his human form. He spit out the bag and quickly pulled on his clothes. His eyes scanned for Bella and found her in a waiting room all alone. "Bells," Jacob murmured, and the torn girl brought her head up. She stood up and wrapped her arms as much as she could around Jacob's ever growing body.

It seemed like ever since Edward had left her, she had been a shell. After everything he put her through, Bella was still holding him in the highest regard. He wasn't ever going to come back for her; she needed to know that. But right now that wasn't something that she needed right now. "Jake...I just don't know what to do," she whispered.

"We will figure it out honey," the young were-wolf whispered. Jacob sensed another presence near them, and he tightened his arms around her. She pulled away, and let Jacob lead her back to a chair. He bent down on his knees, and placed his hands on her knees. Bella put her hands on top of his, and squeezed them as tight as she could.

"Jake...thanks for being here," she murmured, "I...I couldn't handle this by myself," she whispered, lowering her head. He moved his hands from her knees up to her face. He brought her gaze down to his.

"Bella, its ok" he whispered, "its ok to need me," he was always there for her. She nodded her head, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm not going away...and your dad isn't either," Bella sobbed softly, and felt him tighten his arms around her.

"Miss Swan?" a doctor called out. Bella pulled up and wiped her eyes.

"Thats me," she whispered as she stood up. Jacob stood up as well, and they walked over to the doctor. "What's going on?" she questioned, "Is...is..."

"Is Officer Swan ok?" Jacob questioned, giving Bella's shoulder a squeeze.

"He made it through the surgery," The doctor breathed with a sigh, "and after a couple days of being here, he will be free to go," Bella sighed in relief, and gave the doctor a bear hug. "He may need some help for a few weeks, but after that he will be up to full strength once again," he said, lightly patting Bella's back.

"Is he awake right now?" she questioned, lightly rubbing her eyes.

"In a little while," he said, pulling away lightly. "You can go wait in his room if you would like," Bella nodded her head, and gripped Jacob's hand. They followed the doctor towards Charlie's room, and Jacob felt Bella's hand tighten around his. He squeezed back gently, and felt her lean closer into him.

"Its going to be ok Bells," he whispered.

"Alright...just take it easy if he wakes up ok?" the doctor advised opening up the door. She reluctantly let go of his hand as she entered the room. Bella slowly walked towards Charlie's bed, and put a hand to her mouth. He looked horrible, it looked like he got into a fight with a...she couldn't even think about it. She hadn't seen anything that horrible since James was ripped apart. She fought the urge to feint, and sat down next to him. She gently held his hand and waited for him to wake up. Jacob thought maybe he should leave Bella alone.

"Jake...please don't go," Bella whispered and he immediately stopped his trail. He approached Bella, and laid his hand on her shoulder. "Thanks," she murmured to Jacob, "Daddy," she called out softly. "Please wake up soon ok?" she softly smoothed a small strand of his hair from the front of his face.

"He will soon Bella," the young werewolf promised. She shivered and he brought her up to her feet. He sat down on the chair, and brought her onto his lap. Instantly her body warmed up, and she once again grabbed her father's hand.

Bella yawned and leaned into Jacob before falling asleep against him. He didn't mind that at all, he was just glad to be able to help Bella during her time of her need. Hours passed, and Charlie had finally woken up. "Bella?" Charlie croaked out, and his daughter immediately woke up.

"Daddy," Bella whispered, "oh thank god you are awake," she cried out, throwing her arms around him.

He groaned softly as her body collided with his, but he held her there. "Its ok Bella," he murmured, squeezing her tightly. After she pulled away, she had seen that Jacob had woken up. Charlie saw it as well, "Hey Jake," he said, "thanks for keeping my girl company," he whispered.

"Anytime Mr. Swan," he said.

"Jacob, buddy, can you drive Bella home?" he asked, "and please watch her?"

"But Dad-," Bella whispered in a sad voice.

"You can come see me tomorrow ok?" he said, "I love you Bells, but you need to get some rest on an actual bed,"

"Ok Dad," she whispered, placing a soft kiss on his forehead. "I love you," she murmured softly. Both her and Jacob walked out of the room, before she collapsed into him. She was so tired and so emotionally drained.

"Bella," Jacob whispered. He picked up Bella, and cradled her against his body. "It is going to be ok honey,"

"When...when we get back to my place..will you stay there with me?" she questioned. Jacob nodded his head, and drove her home in her car.
