Chapter 2

House woke to a terrible pain in his leg; the pain was so unbearable he thought he might scream.

"Greg, you are going to be late for work if you don't get a move on it." Stacy said walking into their bedroom, putting in an earring. Upon looking at him lying in the bed, she knew something was wrong. "What is it?"

"My leg," House stretched out his leg a few times and rubbed it then finally tired to stand up. When he finally got up his leg faltered with every step.

"Maybe, you should be the patient today." She felt bad but didn't know what to do, he was a doctor.

"Maybe," House's voice was gravely and rough. His eyes were glassing over. He wasn't sure he'd be able to even get to the hospital.

"I can take you if you'd like." Stacy tried to smile.

"If you'd drop me off, I'd be fine." House knew she wouldn't be able to miss work because his leg hurt, but he wouldn't be able to drive with his right leg as it was.

Stacy helped him get ready and then to the clinic.

Chase had graduated from med school second in his class. He had done better then anyone had ever dreamt he would be able to do.

The Great Rowan Chase had shown up at the graduation so that everyone sees just how good a father and doctor he was to have raised a very talented Intensivist. Robert Chase would for sure change the medical profession and Rowan wanted his name attached to his son's success.

"I'm so proud of you," Chase's father had approached his newly graduated son pulling him in a simulated embrace.

"Proud of me?" Chase's voice was distressed, "You've had nothing to do with me for years, but now that my success could farther your name you are going to play father figure to me? I don't think so, get out of my way. I want nothing to do with you." By the end of the speech, everyone standing near by stopped and was watching.

"Don't you take that tone with me." Rowan kept his voice down as he sternly spoke to his son.

Robert did not say another thing he turned in a huff and exited the building.
