Chapter 1

Erin's POV

I sat in my father's office, smoothing my black pencil skirt onto my toned legs. He walked into the room, sitting on the other side of the desk, dropping a pile of patient files on the desk. He was a doctor, head of the diagnostics department in a Princeton hospital. I rarely made a habit out of visiting him, but the rumour had it that he was finally seeing his boss and I had to get to the bottom of this. He sat on the chair that faced mine with a mix of concern and surprise in his eyes.

"Erin! Hi! What can I do for you...?"

"Dad... I want to invite you and your new girlfriend for dinner."

"I don't have a new girlfriend."

"Right..." I said, my chest suddenly tightening, my heart was beating fast and I felt dizzy. He turned to me looking concerned.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, my heart's beating really fast...dad..."

I woke up wearing a hospital gown, my father standing beside me with a concerned look.

"What happened?"

"Your heart stopped, we had to shock you, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine."

"Right 25 year olds have their heart stop during the day all the times" I rolled my eyes.

"I'll have someone from my team take your history."

"You can't treat me you're my dad."

"Oh it's alright technically Foreman will." I looked into his eyes, thinking of the gargantuan workload awaiting me in my office.

"I have to get back to work! "

"Sure right after we fixed you."

"I feel fine now!"

He walked out and I quickly grabbed my cell phone from my bag, contacting my assistant, trying to delegate as much as possible and have the work needed to be completed sent to the hospital as soon as possible. A handsome doctor walked into the room and I quickly hung up.

"You could have finished, I'm in no hurry. I'm Dr Chase by the way." I smiled at his gorgeous face and great Australian accent.

"Thanks. I'm Erin House" I give him my most dazzling smile, although knowing full well that I look like hell.

"So... your heart rate looks stable, this is good... took anything recently?"

"Anything...?"

"Walk me through your day, everything you ate, took, drank..."

"Alright, I woke up at 4, went for a run, showered, got ready, ate a bagel and a coffee then went to work. Ate a salad at lunch, I felt a bit tired and drove here in the late afternoon to invite my dad for dinner this weekend and here I am."

"No drugs."

"Of course no drugs, how revolting!"

"Any medication?"

"No medication."

"At all?" I shook my head.

"Well, we'll do a blood test."

"No thanks." He looked into my eyes.

"I really don't like needles..."

"I'll be real careful." "Is there any other way..."

"I'll see what your dad thinks."

I smiled uneasily. He left the room.

This is my first fan fic. ever, be kind!
