Disclaimer: I don't own House


Chase was in the clinic once again angered by the fact that he could not say no to House to save his life. It seemed that House was out to humiliate him further since the whole Vogler thing. He was really starting to think it was a waste of time working here since his father was now dead and he had nothing more to prove.

His beeper went off to his dismay and he went to the conference room in a hurry to see what the big emergency was.

"Very funny House," Chase managed trying to catch his breath.

House ignored him and instead tossed him a file.

"Eighty year old decon came in anemic,"House said.

"Probably a defiency," Chase suggested.

"Or blood thinners," Cameron added.

"Okay Cameron do a history and make it quick but efficient. Foreman, go to the house. Chase go talk to the wife," House ordered taking out a magazine that Chase suspected was porn.

"One more thing, the wife is very strict. Hopefully your pretty mouth should help eliminate any problems with her," House added.

Chase nodded not wanting to argue with him. It was better to let him have his own way because he'd win no matter what and it was rather pointless.

So he headed to talk to the wife.

M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d

"You must be the wife," Chase looked for confirmation.

The woman looked at him with a pointed look and he thought that she was rather familiar. He suddenly remembered a woman with startling green eyes and long brown hair. Chase mentally shook his head to clear the image from his mind. He had to question this woman.

"Yes, I'm Mrs. Lovett," the woman replied.

"I'm Dr. Chase and I'd like to know a couple things about your husband," Chase said.

"Like what," She asked narrowing her eyes in suspicion.

It was then that he saw that she wasn't alone and had a little girl with her. The girl had brown hair though it was very messy and looked like it hadn't been washed for a little while now. It was the startling baby blue green eyes that got him.

"Was he on any medication, drugs, blood thinners, or something new that he hadn't been exposed to," Chase asked.

"No to everything, for god's sake he didn't even smoke," Mrs. Lovett snapped.

Chase was momentarily distracted as he watched the little girl. She in turn was looking anywhere but the Aussie. Mrs. Lovett grabbed the little toddler by the hand and she broke into tears as she was scolded for it. Chase felt sorry as Mrs. Lovett made the toddler walk all the way down the hall and probably to the husband's room without getting a moments rest. She didn't deserve that, Chase thought.

He sighed.

This was going to be a rough day.

M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d M.d m.d m.d m.d m.d

Chase was busy thinking about the girl he had dated in medical school who had green eyes and a remarkable singing voice. That had been almost three years ago two months from now. He now began to wonder if that was why she left him in the beginning and felt a sinking feeling. He would have taken care of the child if she told him and that was a definite if. He needed to know though. Before he could continue with his thoughts, House spoke.

"Did you hear wombat, the decon has benzene poisoning from a leaking pipe and that caused the aplastic anemia," House replied harshly.

"The wife was fine but the toddler looked kinda pale," Chase acknowledged.

"It's probably something different," Cameron started.

Chase suddenly grabbed a file and read the name on it. 'Evee Lovett' it read and Chase quickly went out the room thinking of an excuse to get the little girl away from Mrs. Lovett so he could test his theory.
