A few things I need to point out before you start to read my story.

1. I have only seen season 1 and 2 of House, therefore if events seem out of place with something that happens later on, ie a character leaves, starts a relationship or whatever, it obviously wont apply to this story.

2. I try to avoid most of the medical terminology stuff since I'm not a Doctor and therefore do not know what I am talking about. However, if there is something drastically wrong ie with symptopns i have described or anything I have misunderstood I would be grateful if it is pointed out so I can ammend anything. I do try to reseach as much as I can.

3. There is an assumed ChaseXCameron relationship going on in this story. Just so you know.

4. Disclaimer: I do not own House. I am a fan. Writing a Fanfiction. I have however completely invented Sam. She is not a character of the TV series.

5. Please comment. Please?

House looked up as a young woman entered the clinic

House looked up as a young woman entered the clinic. He watched as she approached a passing nurse, and overheard her young voice ask for Dr. Cuddy. As the nurse pointed out Cuddy's office, House took in the woman's appearance. She was slim, with long dark hair tied back in a ponytail. Her dark brown eyes shone with her bright smile. She was dressed smart enough to look professional, but casual enough to indicate that she was laidback, and not, thought House appreciatively, a "kiss-ass".

She made for Cuddy's office, and House, throwing aside a patient file, followed. He limped round the corner and towards the door, noticing the brunette ahead of him, greeting Lisa Cuddy with an enthusiastic handshake. He didn't hesitate at all; he burst through the door without bothering to knock, causing Cuddy's smile to disappear in a second.

"House!" She snarled. The young Brunette turned in his direction. "Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Actually that's exactly what I saw." He stated, matter-of-factly. "I felt I just had to join the fun."

Cuddy sighed, and addressed the young woman in front of her.

"Allow me to introduce Dr. Gregory House, head of the Diagnostics apartment: the best doctor we have and the biggest pain in the ass." Cuddy sighed in his direction. "House, this is Doctor Samantha Mathews, the new member of your team."

House frowned.

"Since when did I need a fourth member to my team?"

"Since the department gained more money enabling it to expand in order to accommodate more specialist doctors. Dr. Mathews specialises in Paediatrics."

"Kids?" House asked wondrously. He turned to the younger woman. "You specialise in kids?"

"House, she's on your team and that's that." Cuddy cut in before Sam had a chance to answer. "You're going to have to like it or lump it."

When the two of them left Cuddy's office, House plunged straight into interrogation mode.

"Are you a good Doctor?"

"I guess." Sam answered as honestly as she could. "I'm not too sure."

"You either are, or you aren't." House growled at her. "You have to be prepared to blow your own horn. I am a good Doctor. I know I am. Everyone in this hospital knows I am, so they listen to me."

They entered the clinic waiting area, very nearly full of waiting patients. House took Sam by the arm and directed her to a waiting group.

"Diagnose them."

He waited for her to protest, to insist that each patient must be seen separately in an examination room, but instead she quizzed each patient about his or her symptoms. She diagnosed two Colds, Tonsillitis, a sprained wrist and possible food poising in five minutes before asking House:

"Are you happy yet?"

He looked at her.

"Conference room is upstairs."

He limped away, knowing he had found a good doctor.

More soon!
