So I re-did the first chapter so that it would be in prose and this is what I came up with. I hope you like it, I think that it is definitely better than what I had before. Please review, constructive criticism is always welcome!

Chase is standing by the sink in the conference room pouring himself some coffee when Cameron walks in the room.

"Hi" She said, startling him and causing him to spill some of the hot brown liquid on to the counter. He cringed as a few droplets splashed up and hit his hand

"Oh hey, you want some coffee?" He asked holding up the pot in an effort to divert attention away from the puddle that had landed on the counter in front of him, and was now dripping down the cupboards. He was just praying that she hadn't seen it happen.

"No thanks, I haven't been feeling so well this morning" She said resting a hand on the center of her stomach as she sat down.

"What's wrong?" This caught Chases attention, and caused him to abandon trying to hide the coffee as it had proven its self to be fruitless. As he turned around he watched her look at the stain of his shirt in confusion, but quickly shake it off as she remembered what he had asked her. It surprised how attentively he listened as he waited for her answer but he chalked it up to all of his years of medical training, and more importantly as a doctor.

"Nothing exciting, probably just a cold" She responded nonchalantly. Apparently she hadn't noticed how Chase held his breath waiting for an answer. She opened up her lap top and placed her finger on a button pressing down gently. As the computer turned on he watched the light illuminate her delicate features. She opened up her email, and saw that in the last 8 hours she had received close to 100 emails and quickly abandoned the task deciding it was to early to face so much work. She looked up just in time to see Chase roll his eyes.

"What?" she asked, he could hear defensiveness laced in her voice, even as she tried to hide it.

"You're a doctor and you can't do better than 'it's probably just a cold'"

Cameron shrugged her shoulders as she realized that even though it sounded strange coming from a the mouth of a trained medical professional, but it was the best description she could come up with on only about 4 hours of sleep.

"Are you hiding something from me?" He asked in a playful tone of voice, trying to lighten the somber mood, even though he was totally serious . For some unexplained reason he had a feeling that she wasn't telling him the whole story, and working with House, he had learned to trust his gut about such things.

"No, I'm not" She said, a little taken aback at his accusation as she hadn't realized he was kidding.

"Alright" He said figuring it was better to back down now than to press the issure further. He just needed to add one more thing to let her know he was available. "You know I'm here if you need to talk.:

"Thanks, but I really am okay" Her voice was full of surprise, but also contentment. Cameron figured that it was because of her past, but it always made her feel good when someone she thought she could trust would confirm it. Just then House walked into the room and with him and outspoken and usually obnoxious demeanor that quickly put an end to their exchange.

"Hi, sorry to interrupt, wait that's not true, um no case today, Cameron you have clinic." He stated bluntly, totally unaware that he had just interrupted a conversation.

"No, I don't." She said finally looking up at where he stood, faithful cane in hand. She had always felt that it was sad that his cane was the only thing he could relay on day after day as he pushed all of the people out of his life. That and the pain that is, she figured he would be happy to give up the second point of stability.

She was awakened from her thoughts when House said "You're right it's mine, but I'm you're boss, so go." He motioned towards the door with his free hand as he said the last part with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Chase rolled his eyes as he was again reminded why he so desperately wanted to stay in bed that morning.

"Fine" Cameron said grunting as she placed her hands on the table in front of her and began to lift herself out of the chair she was sitting in.

"I can cover clinic, you should go home," Chase said, very suddenly to Cameron, surprising even himself.

" I'm okay to do clinic duty" Cameron replied, mainly as a formality because she knew Chase would argue otherwise.

"You should rest, besides I've got nothing better to do with my time."

"You sure?" She asked, and again she knew his reply before it had even come out of his mouth.

"Go home" He said with a stern voice and joking eyes. With that she gathered her things and headed for the door, Chase following her on his way to the clinic. They walk down the hall together, then say goodbye to each other as they part ways, each secretly looking over their shoulder as they walk towards their destinations.

So what do you think, let me know, all you have to do is press that little blue button at the end of the page, it will make me very happy. Lol, luv u all, bye
