AN: I do not own Supernatural or Twilight.

Life in all its Glory

Megan's POV

I walked into the hospital and smiled at the woman at the reception desk.

"Hello I'm Megan Perry from the Washington Medical Journal, I'd like to speak to Dr. Cullen please" I said.

"Oh this is so exciting! Go to the third level and ask the nurse at the station, she'll get him for you."

"Thank you very much."

"Oh no, thank you!" she exclaimed.

I went up to the third level and the nurse paged Dr. Cullen for me. I swear this was just too easy.

"Are you looking for Dr. Cullen?" a man said behind me.

"Yes" I replied, turning around.

"That's me" he smiled.

He was a tall, pale man, with the same color eyes as Edward, which was weird since Edward was adopted.

"It's nice to meet you Dr. Cullen, I'm Megan Perry with the Washington Medical Journal" I told him as politely as I could.

"You look a little young to be a journalist."

"Well actually I'm an intern and I had to beg them to let me conduct this survey. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"No, go ahead."

"Okay, well when did you start working here?" I asked. I didn't really care because I already knew the answer but figured I should start my questions out simple.

He replied but I didn't really listen. I asked him a few more meaningless questions then I decided to try to get some information.

"What was your most interesting case here?" I asked, hoping something might send up a red flag.

"Well I think the most interesting case I've seen would have to be the man who shot an arrow through his own foot" he chuckled, "it was very odd."

I smiled in return though I was not pleased with his answer.

"Do you have any unsolved cases?" I pressed on, determined for something.

"No, none that I know about" Dr. Cullen replied with some suspicion in his eyes.

"Does your job affect your home life?"

"Well sometimes I have to stay late but my wife is very understanding and all my kids are almost all grown so they don't really mind."

I got him to talk about his family, now I was going to see how much I could pry. "How many kids do you have?"

"Five" he responded calmly, but he looked like he was giving something away.

"So they're all around the same age, huh? Must have been brutal for your wife" I told him.

"Actually we adopted them all. My wife isn't able to have children" Dr. Cullen answered, straightening up.

"I'm sorry about that. Are you and your wife close with your children?" I was going to pry until I was satisfied or he kicked me out, either option was fine with me.

"Yes we are close with our children, I'm sorry what does this have to do with the article?" he said, getting impatient.

"We have found that often doctors have strained relationships with their families because of their busy schedules, I was just seeing if this applied to you." I stood my ground, the fact that he was getting defensive was a good sign in my favor, and it just meant that he was trying to hide something from me. Unfortunately, he now had a wall up and I wouldn't be able to get anything else from him today.

"Well, Dr. Cullen, I just have one more question for you. If you could, would you change your profession?" I asked, wanting to end this interview on a normal note.

"No I wouldn't" he stated firmly, "I love helping people and seeing them recover. It reminds me just how resilient people really are."

"Thank you for your time Dr. Cullen, I really appreciate it." I smiled and stuck my hand out.

He shook my hand and replied, "of course. Good luck with your internship." He was eyeing me with curiosity and suspicion, not that I blamed him.

"Thank you, goodbye Dr. Cullen" I responded.

I left the hospital content for now with the information I got. Well, not really information but the feeling that I got from him. Something was off and I was going to find out what, one way or another.
