review at the end and tell me what u think!

What's Up With Foreman? Chapter 1

Drs. Foreman, Chase and Cameron sat around the diagnostic's conference room table, bored out of their minds. Chase absentmindedly worked on a crossword, Cameron sorted House's mail, while Foreman flipped through a medical journal. House walked into his office and plopped down at his chair and logged on his computer while shouting to Cameron, "Any cases?". "Nope." she shouted back.

Suddenly, the phone rang in House's office. He answered it, "Diagnostics."

The response was, "Hello, this Nurse Coleman from Princeton Elementary School. Is Dr. Foreman there? His daughter is sick."

"Hold on a sec." he responded. "Foreman!"

"What?"

"Phone."

He walked over and grabbed the receiver. "Dr. Foreman. Yes, hello. Um, all right, I'll come get her. Thank you. Bye."

He turned to House and said, "I have to uh, go get my, uh, dog. It's, uh, yea. I'll be back later." Then he exited the room and walked down the hall.

House chuckled out loud and Chase and Cameron gave him looks.

"What's up with Foreman?" Chase said.

"His daughter is sick." said House.

"What!" replied Cameron.

He didn't answer, but he turned to the computer and opened Google. He entered "Dr. Eric Foreman" into the search engine. Several pages opened up and he clicked the first one.

Dr. Eric Foreman, neurologist, now employed with Dr. House in Diagnostics at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. He has made tremendous strides in medicine….

He skipped down farther, while Chase and Cameron leaned over his shoulder to read more.

…Dr. Foreman, whose wife died at age 28 of brain cancer, has a daughter, Kayla, who is 5 years old….

"Bingo." said House with a smirk.

"I can't believe he never told us. About his wife and his daughter." said Cameron, getting a nod from Chase.

Mean while, with Foreman….

Foreman ran up the steps of Princeton Elementary School, talking to the babysitter at the same time. She was going to watch Kayla until he got home, then if she was still sick tomorrow, watch her then too. He opened the door and walked up to the front desk, saying that he was here to get his daughter. He signed the paper and walked into the nurse's office.

"Hello, Dr. Foreman." said Nurse Coleman.

"Hi Daddy." said Kayla with a cough from the cot across the room.

"Hey Kay. How you feeling?" said Foreman, stroking the hair off her forehead.

Kayla Foreman had short curly black hair, and big brown eyes. She wore little gold earrings in her ears, and wore a little pink shirt with blue jeans. She had soft skin, and dimples when she smiled. Foreman picked her up and she laid her head on his shoulder. He grabbed her backpack, said goodbye to the nurse and walked out of the school.

The babysitter met him at his apartment, and he carried her inside and changed her into her pajamas. She laid her down in her bed, and gave the babysitter some instructions, and said to call him on his cell phone if anything happened.

He kissed Kayla on the forehead and left the apartment. As he was driving back to work, he thought about what he would tell the team. "I'll tell them my dog got caught in the fence and I had to get him out. No, that won't work. I'll say that the dog got into the neighbor's garden. Yeah, that'll work."

As he walked into the conference room, he saw Chase and Cameron sitting at the table (Cameron answering mail, Chase staring at her dreamily), and House sitting in his office chair, playing with his yo-yo. When he walked in, House stood up and came into the conference room, Chase snapped out of his dream-state, and Cameron took off her reading glasses and looked up. "How's your 'dog'? she said, with her fingers forming quotations.

He swallowed deeply and tried to shrug the question off. " Oh, he just got into my neighbor's garden. No big deal."

They all stared at him, and Chase just blurted it out. "How come you didn't tell us about your daughter?"

He gave them a skeptical look, and Cameron continued on to say, "We saw it on the Internet. Your wife died of brain cancer and you have a 5 year old daughter. Why didn't you tell us?"

Realizing he was cornered, he shrugged and said, "Didn't think it was important."

"Well yeah it's important! You have a daughter! And you were married! And she died, just like my husband did! And you think it's not important?" retorted Cameron.

"Well sorry I don't share all the secrets of my personal life with my co-workers. Now drop it." he said, and walked out of the room.

Cameron and Chase just stared at each other, and House just laughed and shook his head from his office.
