Sorry it took so long!!! I was just so busy with stuff and I just didn't find a good way to finish this story. I ended up with something I didn't plan for, but it kinda works :) Let me know what you think.

There will be some sort epilogue( I'm gonna write that in a minute)


Robert Chase was pacing up and down the living room. When he was going down for lunch this day he had passed Cuddy's office and Ashley was in there. He wanted to wait and ask her what it was about, but House had paged him and he hadn't had the time to ask her. When he was ready to go home, Ashley was in the middle of a complicated surgery and he didn't want to disturb her, so that was why he had decided to go home and wait for her.

It had been 3 months since Ashley had moved over to America, leaving everything behind in Australia. They had to move to a bigger place because Ashley refused to live in his little bachelor's place. And Ashley actually liked making the flat feel like home so she moved in tons of stuff and therefore they needed a bigger place. But anyway, she was working at PPTH and they seemed on the road back to happiness. But still he didn't know what she was doing at Cuddy's office. Ashley had taken leave of absence back in Australia, so there was also the possibility of going back. Sitting in Cuddy's office could mean she was giving up her position here and move back to Australia. Chase wasn't sure he would be able to deal with that. Of course sitting in the office could also mean Ashley was making her stay here permanent.

He sat down on the couch and forced himself to calm down. There was no point in getting worried sick unless he knew where he was worrying about. He let his eyes glance around the room. Ashley had brought a home feeling to the apartment, a feeling he had been lacking since coming over. He had fled Australia and never really made an effort of creating a home. She had showed what he had missed by running away and he was now planning on making a life again.

His eyes fell on the white photo album standing on the third shelf on the wall. The album held Laura's life from the moment she was born until she died. That was another thing Ashley had changed. She was helping coming to terms with what happened to him, to both of them. And it was one of the reasons why he wanted to stop running away. Only if he knew what she was discussing with Cuddy earlier today. It would make everything so much easier.

Chase was annoyed. He had fallen asleep on the couch last night. Apparently Ashley had woken him up to get to bed because that was where he woke up this morning. But by the time he woke up, she had already left. He had found a note on the kitchen table informing him that they had paged her, another operation. He couldn't hide a smile; he was married to a person who had even more cruel working hours. But he was annoyed because he still hadn't been able to ask her the question. Her note informed him she wanted to talk to him, but left no clue about what.

The day had already progressed past lunch time and he still hadn't had the time to catch up with her.

If it had been because they were actually curing people he wouldn't have been this annoyed. But the team was arguing with House. He didn't want to treat the patient anymore because they couldn't help him anymore.

'Listen, my ducklings, this patient file will go …' House said as he limped towards the trash can

'To my hands?' a fifth voice said. They all turned to the door and found Ashley standing there.

'Dr Chase, why would you need this file?' House asked.

'Because of today that's my patient.' She said as she held out the file and waited till House dropped it in her hand.

'Does that mean…'

'It means you have a second Chase to harass.' Ashley said. She walked over to Robert and whispered something in his ear. Then she made her way over to the door.

'Can I call you Ashley?' House asked.

'Just to avoid confusion.' He said as she turned to look at him.

'You know, Greg' she said as she walked over to him and came face to face 'you can call me wombat number 2'
