Chapter 1 - July 2015
Molly James walked through the doors of Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital with more excitement and joy than any person stepping into a hospital should ever have. Today was her first day as a fellow for the famous Dr. Gregory House, the greatest medical mind of a generation. She was bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to prove that she belonged on the most sought after diagnostic team in the world.
"Umm excuse me" She said to the middle aged nurse working at the main desk of the clinic, "Could you point me towards Dr. House's office? It's my first day" The nurse looked at her for a moment before sighing and directing her, whispering at the end
"Bless you, I hope you make it dear"
Molly knew what she was getting herself into, she was well prepared by doctor cuddy for House's quick wit and mean spirited sense of humor, but it still made her uneasy as she made her way to the office.
Sitting in the room were three people she had yet to meet, all in doctors coats. The first, sitting at the head of the rectangular table, was a tall, strong, handsome looking African American man with a kind but serious face, reading over a file, presumably of the patient they would be treating. The second was a very slender woman with mid-length, wavy, dark hair standing at the counter making herself a cup of coffee and talking animatedly to the third doctor in the room, a gorgeous blonde haired man with slight 5 o'clock shadow and beautiful blue eyes. Molly was taken with how entrancingly stunning he was and it took her a moment to realize she was staring from down the hall. She shook it off and proceeded to the room's glass door before knocking slightly and opening it.
"Hi, I'm Molly James, the new fellow. Please tell me this is Dr. House's office and I'm not late?" She said peeking her head in and smiling shyly.
"Oh hi! Yes you're in the right place" the slender brunette said, kindly, walking over to greet her. She stuck out her hand and smiled. "I'm Dr. Cameron, this is Dr. Foreman," she motioned to the African American man at the head of the table, "and Dr. Chase," she said motioning to the stunning blonde.
"Nice to meet you, we'll try to buffer you from House a little for your first day" Dr. Chase said with a reassuring smile, his Australian accent dripping from his lips. Molly could hardly breathe, he was so gorgeous and his voice was hypnotizing. She realized she was probably staring a bit and snapped back to reality.
"Oh I've been well prepared by Dr. Cuddy, I'm sure it will be absolutely awful for my first couple of days" she added with a giggle, "But i've got a thick skin, i'm not too worried"
With that the door of the office flung open and in walked Dr. House. He tossed his backpack to the side, which landed with a thud on the chair in the corner of the room, and looked over at Dr. James, eyeing her up and down.
"So, new girl, I assume you've had time to play introductions with everyone," He turned back to the whiteboard and began to write on it "Kindergarden teacher, she's babbling like an infant…. Ideas?"
Chase sat through the differential, but was definitely not paying the slightest bit of attention. He was too distracted by the beautiful girl who sat at the table diagonal to him. Dr. James was lovely. Her long auburn-brunette hair hung in two french braids that reached the small of her back, her skin was smooth and bright, her minimal makeup highlighted her delicate features and her tall thin frame let her lab coat fall just right over her. It was even better when she spoke, her ever so mild southern accent slid over her sentences and coated everything in sugar, Chase couldn't help but stare at this stunning creature who had just entered his universe, while House's words floated over his head.
