Dr. Olivia Sanders walked into the room, followed by a whining Dr. House. She smiled slightly at the girl.
"Hi. I'm Dr. Sanders and this is Dr. House…" Dr. Sanders spoke up.
"Actually, I'm Doctor GREGORY House, I'm the nice one…" Dr. House said. Dr. Sanders rolled her eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't know your first name mattered to you so much…" she said, with a sigh.
"Well, yea it does. My mommy gave it to me for a reason. My name is very special to me. It's okay. Its natural that someone with a name like Olivia would be jealous of a name like mine. Gregory is a very noble name, and Olivia…well…Olivia is just ugly," Dr. House stated, once again, smirking maliciously.
"Olivia is a pretty name…" the girl spoke up. Both Dr. House and Dr. Sanders looked at her. "And she is prettier too.." the girl added.
Dr. Sanders smirked triumphantly at Dr. House, before looking back at the girl. "Thank you, Kimberly…." Dr. Sanders said, with a friendly smile.
Dr. House rolled his eyes. "You may kiss the bride…" he stated. Dr. Sanders showed an apologetic smile. "He's just upset. See that cane he has? He's embarrassed because all the big doctors make fun of him. They call him 'Sheppard'…" Dr. Sanders stated.
"Hey, you know what? At least Santa came to my house this year…" Dr. House retorted. Kimberly's eyes widened slightly as she looked at Dr. Sanders. "Santa didn't come to your house?" she asked.
"He had to drop the presents off at my office for me. But you know what Dr. house got? Coal for Christmas. He's a very…mean boy…" Dr. Sanders stated.
Kimberly smiled and giggled. Dr. House rolled his eyes. "That's just great…" he muttered.
"So, anyway…can you tell us what's wrong sweetie?" Dr. Sanders asked. "Why don't you just marry her now and skip all this cute stuff. It's making me nauseous…" Dr. House asked, sitting down in the corner chair.
"Just ignore him…" Dr. Sanders stated. "Is he in timeout?" Kimberly asked. Dr. Sanders looked over at Dr. House, before looking back at Kimberly. "Yes," she replied.
"Well…I woke up this morning and my feet felt asleep. So mommy told me to stand up and stomp my feet awake…but I stood up and I fell. My feet still feel asleep, will they wake up soon?" she asked.
Dr. Sanders smiled. "I hope so…" she stated. Dr. House stood up. "Don't worry Kimberly. I'll make sure that I take good care of you," Dr. House said, walking over to the bureau and observing a coffee cup.
"Does your leg sleep too?" Kimberly asked. Dr. House sighed, as he picked up the coffee cup. "No. I just like the cane. It's pretty isn't it?" Dr. House asked, looking inside the cup.
"You should get a pink one…" Kimberly said with a giggle. Dr. House gave her a look.
"First thing tomorrow…" he replied. He went to walk around the bed, but stumbled slightly over a wire on the ground. He dropped the coffee cup of the bed, over Kimberly's legs.
Dr. Sanders quickly stood up, and threw the covers off. "You crippled klutz! You trying to burn off her skin…" Dr. Sanders said, flinching at the touch of the hot, wet covers.
"Are you alright?" she asked, Kimberly. Kimberly looked at Dr. Sanders. "The coffee wasn't wet…" she said. Dr. Sanders tilted her head. "What do you mean, Kimberly?" she asked.
'The coffee wasn't wet…" Kimberly repeated. Dr. Sanders looked over at Dr. House. "Kimberly, lift your legs for me…" Dr. House said, setting his cane down. Kimberly looked down at her legs, and grunted slightly.
"My legs are asleep now…" she said. Dr. House touched her knee. "Can you feel that?" he asked. Kimberly shook her head. Dr. House brought his hand up, before slapping her leg slightly harder.
"How about that?" Kimberly shook her head again. Kimberly began to cry slightly. "When will they wake up?" she asked.
Dr. Sanders looked at her, and caressed her hair. "Soon sweetie….I hope…" she said. She looked at Dr. House. "Get her parents…her paralyzation is spreading…." Dr. House stated, before walking around the bed.
He stopped directly next to Dr. Sanders and leaned to whisper in her ear. "Send them to the 'crippled klutz's' office…" he stated, before walking out.
Dr. Sanders looked down at the ground, before giving Kimberly a reassuring smile.
