12 WEEKS LATER (NIKKI POV)
                          
"Nikki you need to go to the doctor honey." Rachel said as she rubbed my back gently. For what felt like the millionth time the past 2 weeks I was throwing up again. The past few weeks I have been feeling horrible, hardly sleeping, my appetite has gone down drastically. I get light-headed, dizzy but the main thing is the puking. I walk around all day feeling nauseous and something as simple as the smell of eggs and bacon makes me gag.
                          
"I can't go to the doctor Rachel; I run a temperature of 108. I have to wait until we go home."
                          
"You have been like this for two weeks now Nikole you have to do something." She said as I rinsed my mouth out.
                          
"I know but if I go anywhere here they are going to admit me for a fever, they can't treat me."
                          
"When was the last time you had a period?" She questioned suddenly.
                          
"Two years ago when I phased, why?"
                          
"Just wondering."
                          
RACHEL POV
                          
As I looked away from my calendar and back at Nikole I became very worried, her tan skin had further paled.
                          
"Nikki?" I said taking a step towards her. She looked at me before her eyes rolled into her head and she crumpled to the floor hitting part of her bed. "NIKOLE!" I screamed running towards her. I laid her out on the floor rolling her onto her back. She was pouring sweat and was unconscious. I pulled my phone out not knowing what to do, but I knew who I needed to call.
                          
PAUL POV
                          
I was Emily's eating lunch, I had just come off a long patrol and was ready to eat and go to sleep. Rach and Nikki had been gone a couple of months and I missed them every day, as annoyed as it made Billy and Jake I honestly stayed at their place a lot, it just made me feel better like I was closer to Rach. I pulled my phone out of my pocket as it rung and smiled seeing Rachel's name.
                          
"Hey, gorgeous."
                          
"PAUL!" She screamed scaring me.
                          
"Rach, what's wrong?" I asked effectively shutting everyone in the room up.
                          
"It's Nikole, something is wrong."
                          
"What happened to her?"
                          
"I don't know she is passed out, she has been sick and throwing up the past two weeks and I told her earlier she needed to go to a doctor. She said she couldn't because how hot you all run, she passed out a few minutes after coming out of the restroom, she was standing there then all of a sudden I turned around and she looked paler and was clammy, her eyes rolled into her head and she is out, Paul I don't know what to do."
                          
"Calm down, I'll be there in an hour keep a cold rag on her head." I said hopping up out of my seat. "Sam I gotta go."
                          
"I heard."
                          
"I'm coming with you." I turned glaring at Jake.
                          
"No."
                          
"Paul, she is his imprint, let Jacob go with you." I nodded at Sam before taking off out the door. One thing on my mind and that was getting to my sister. Jake and I phased and ran towards Seattle, once we got close enough we had to phase back and continue on foot. An hour later we were walking into the dorms Rachel said they stayed in. 
                          
I stopped in front of Rachel's door knocking swiftly. She cracked open the door and when she saw us sighed in relief before letting us in. Laying on the floor with a pillow under her head was my little sister. She looked so small and weak right now, I rushed forward dropping to my knees next to her. I lightly touched her forehead, Rachel had taken her shirt off and she was lying in yoga capris and a sports bra. A layer of sweat covering her body.
                          
"Rach grab your car, Jake pack their shit." I said gruffly as I gently picked my baby sister up in my arms. "Call the Cullen's and tell them to be ready." Jake nodded as I walked out the door. Minutes later I was placing Nikole down gently in Rachel's backseat. Jake running behind us with two small bags. I drove like a bat out of hell flooring Rach's little car to Fork's. Every so often I looked up in the rearview mirror watching Jake look at her with worried eyes as he gently stroked her hair. "Rach, what happened?"
                          
"I don't know baby, she has been sick the past few weeks, I been telling her to go to the doctor." I pulled into the Cullen's drive throwing the car into park as I hopped out.
                          
"Rach stay in the car." I said as Jake helped me get Nikki out of the car. As we walked to the door Edward opened it quickly. "Take her to Carlisle's office." I followed Edward up the stairs and laid Nikki gently on the bed Carlisle had laid out. "I'll be downstairs." I said walking out. I leaned against the wall taking a deep breath. I hated this, not knowing what was wrong, not being able to protect my little sister. 30 minutes later Carlisle came out causing Jake and me both to hop up.
                          
"Is she okay?" We asked simultaneously
