Bio:
Bella Swan works as a nurse at Cook County Hospital in the ER. She's older and desperate for love. It's hindered by her shy personality and plump body. Her father, whom she lives with, teases her relentlessly for being fat and single.
Edward Cullen, thirty-three, is hired as a doctor in the ER. He's getting over a divorce. He moved to Chicago to be closer to his family: sister, Rosalie, and brother, Jasper. Rosalie is younger than Edward by ten years and is struggling with an eating disorder brought on by a heinous rape of her ex-boyfriend. Jasper, twenty-seven, is finishing up his doctorate in history.
Bella is charmed by this new doctor in the ER. He's kind and thinks about his patients and maintains a friendly rapport with the nurses and orderlies. Edward is intrigued by the sad nurse who does her job efficiently but doesn't have a sparkle in her eyes.
Will she allow Dr. Cullen into her life or will she let her insecurities get in the way of her happiness. Perhaps, Dr. Feelgood can write her a prescription. A prescription for love...

Thank you so much for taking a different AND more realistic view in this story. There is no such thing as perfection and in almost every Twilight fanfiction I read, everyone is perfect and Bella is depicted as tiny, petite, slender, toned, etc. Not to mention Edward is always depicted as, "the most beautiful man I've ever seen".
Seriously, yes it's Fanfiction but its great to take a realistic route where nobody is perfect (like in real life) and we care about the characters because of who they are - NOT because anyone is described as, "sex on legs". So thank you, thank you!

I am really enjoying this story - it's so beautiful. I've laughed and cried a lot already. What Bella has experienced is very painful and the daily discrimination is heartbreaking. I know what it's like to be ridiculed and I definitely understand having a cruel father. Some people may think your description of Charlie is far fetched but its not at all. I have a parent who is vicious and like Bella, the other parent that was loving and supportive passed away five years ago. Not a day goes by that I wished my father was here - he always supported me no matter what, through weight issues, depression, low self-esteem, abuse from my mother, etc. Overall I appreciate the inspiring aspect of this story because true happiness and freedom comes when you decide to take charge of your own life.
