Disclaimer: I don't own House, if I did Chase would be mine.
I'm so sorry, but this is the last chapter. I hope you all like the ending.
Claire: Your reviews are so long. Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked the chapter. I'm sorry about the cliffhanger. I hope you like this chapter. It's the last one and it's a happy one. Well at least kind of. Enjoy!
Chase turned to look at her with his eyes widened.
Katie just laughed, "Yes, Jack lives here anyway, so it would be a bit easier to be close to him."
"I'll see what I can do."
He had to talk to Cuddy. It was up to her. However, Chase was pretty sure there weren't any positions for Katie, but he was destined to find something for her so she could stay letting the two of them be together finally. Chase smiled at Katie and left the room. He made his way down to Cuddy's office to beg her for a job. He knocked on the door and walked in. Cuddy looked up at him and grinned.
"How can I help you Chase?"
"I was hoping I could talk to you."
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well, I was wondering if the hospital had any job vacancies."
"Oh, you mean for Katie?"
Chase nodded.
"Let me see if I have anything."
Chase smiled, "Thank you."
Cuddy nodded looking through her computer and through the millions of files on her desk. Chase stood there waiting patiently hoping to God that there was something for her.
"I'm sorry Chase, but I've got nothing available."
"Thanks anyway." Chase nodded and left the room bummed. He slowly made his way back to Katie's room; disappointed.
"What happened? Does she have something?" Katie asked anxiously.
Chase shook his head, "She checked the computers and files…there wasn't anything."
Katie's head fell and she looked down at her covers, "Well, I guess it was worth a shot."
Chase nodded, sat down in the chair by her bed and took her hand in his. He was so glad she was getting better. She would still have to take pills every day for the next five years, but she was strong, she could handle it.
If she didn't get a job at the hospital, she wouldn't be able to see Chase again. Today was her last day with him. She had to make the best of it. She would be leaving the hospital in a few hours and that would be it. Through Katie's thoughts the door slid open and Cuddy walked in asking Chase to leave the room so she could talk to Katie.
"Katie, can I talk to you?" Cuddy asked.
Katie nodded looking up at her confused.
"I checked through all our files for a position for you. I have one for you. It may not be what you were thinking but at least it's something. You know how I'm the dean of medicine and House is the manger of diagnostic medicine. I was thinking you might like to be my assistant. You would watch over house, assist him in all his cases and report back to me what he's doing."
Katie smiled, "Really?"
"Yes, I think you would be good for it."
"That would be fantastic…Thank you."
"I know you're going to immediately tell Chase, but I think he's still trying to deal with you being here and loving you."
"So, you think I should wait to tell him?"
"I think so. I think it would be best for all of us."
Katie grinned and nodded. It was perfect. She had never thought she would actually receive a job where Robert Chase worked.
"I'll see you here Monday morning. You should be allowed to leave now. Cameron should be here any moment."
Katie smiled again, "Thank you."
"You're most welcome Katie."
Katie smiled yet again as Cuddy left the room. Cameron slid the door open smiling as she walked in.
"I'm guessing by the smile it's good news?" Katie asked.
Cameron laughed, "Yes, you're free to go."
Katie smiled happily and sighed in relief. The smell of the hospital was getting to her.
"You know, Chase really loves you."
"Yeah, I know."
"It's actually kind of creepy. He doesn't stop smiling."
Katie laughed. Cameron was really jealous. Every time Katie mentioned Chase she would sigh and let her head fall not letting anyone see the expression on her face. Katie loved Chase and Chase loved her back. Cameron thought about the situation for a second.
Katie would be leaving within a half hour or so and she would never see Chase again. Cameron wasn't the type of girl who would plot against someone but if it meant she would get Chase all to herself she'd do anything. But what she would do for this to work she had no idea. It was the kind of plan that had to unfold as the situation happened.
Trying to be nice she helped Katie pack up her stuff up and escorted her down to the lobby in the required wheel chair. The elevator door opened with House, Foreman, Cuddy and Chase standing there to say goodbye. Cameron pushed Katie over to them.
She stood up and turned to the doctors. She looked at House and smiled. Katie had never really liked House, since he always said she was going to die, but because of him she was alive. She had to thank him. Their eyes met as she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck. He jumped and lightly patted her on the back. Patients rarely ever hugged him, this was new.
Katie hugged Foreman and he hugged her back. Cuddy was hugged and Cameron didn't want to let go. Even though she wanted Chase all for herself she liked seeing him happy. If he was happy, then she was happy. After she finally let go Katie turned to Chase who looked as if he was about to cry.
"Hey." Katie said looking down at the floor.
"Hey back." Chase said looking straight at her.
"I…uh…Cuddy found me a job here."
"What?!" Chase's eyes widened as he began to smile the mother lode of all smiles.
Katie grinned, "Yeah, she told me yesterday after you left. And I didn't want to call you back since I was sure you had probably already left."
"That's so great!" Chase said placing his arms on her waist.
He picked her up and spun her around making her laugh. When he put her down he held her close to him. She was going to stay here. He wasn't going to lose her. Cameron wouldn't get her wish. Chase was going to be with Katie, and now her plan wasn't even going to work. It wasn't even a plan it was just an idea and now there was no way she was getting what she wanted. The best she could do was to befriend the girl and make sure she had a good relationship with her so it was still possible for her to talk to Chase. Cameron watched Katie and Chase gaze into each other's eyes. Chase took Katie's hands in his smiling.
"You owe me something." Chase whispered as he pulled Katie closer.
Katie laughed as she stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him. His arms were around her waist holding her directly up against his body. He deepened the kiss as her hands ran themselves through his soft thick blond hair. Lightly grazing her bottom lip with his tongue he asked for entrance into her mouth. He was granted as his tongue slipped into her mouth dancing with hers. The two stood there for at least five minutes enjoying the steamy minutes of the kiss that made up for all the years they had been apart.
The two pulled away regretfully trying to catch some air. Chase rested his forehead against hers and began playing with her hair. She smiled happy to be in his arms where she knew she belonged.
Jack was standing next to Cameron smiling. He was glad his baby sister had gotten what she wanted. She had found her one true love and he wasn't going anywhere. She had gotten a job here and she would forever more be with him unless something happened. But Jack knew the two loved each other too much to let anything happen.
Chase looked at Katie as her eyes widened. She closed her eyes and collapsed. She was caught by Chase whose jaw dropped.
"GET ME A CRASH CART!" Chase shouted as the nurses rushed towards him with one.
He laid Katie down on the floor and picked up the paddles. He rubbed them together.
"Charging…CLEAR!" Chase said as he shocked Katie's chest.
Nothing happened; she was still staring widely up at him.
"Charging…CLEAR!" Chase shouted again shocking Katie's chest.
Again nothing happened.
"Charging…CLEAR!"
Nothing.
"Charging…CLEAR!"
Nope.
"Charging…CLEAR!"
Finally Katie breathed heavily. Chase had shocked her back. There was a reason for her cardiac arrest. Her heart was still inflamed. Cameron grabbed Naproxen from one of the clinic rooms and injected some into her. She was going to have to take this for a couple more days, just to make sure she would be fine.
Chase lifted her up and held her close. She had almost died on him. He had almost lost her forever. Lifting up her chin he kissed her lightly. From now on he was hers and that's the way it was going to stay.
That's the end! I hope you guys liked it! :)
