A/N: A nice and long chapter coming up. I hope you all like it. And as a side note postings will try and be more regular, about once a week. Now that vacation is over and I'm back on a schedual so too will be my posting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

It was 2 o'clock before the patient was stable enough for Chase to leave. "Shit." He commented looking at his watch.

"Everything okay?" Cameron asked taking off her gloves to be thrown away.

"Missed Jocelyn's lunch."

"I'm sure House would have taken care of it. He's good with her." Foreman commented as he joined the group heading back to the conference room.

"I don't know. He wasn't there when I got your page. I had to leave her by herself.

"She's fine." Cameron immediately soothed sensing the urgency in Chase's voice. "House is very good with her."

"I know. It's kind of scary. I never thought I'd see House act that way."

"I know what you mean Chase. He's not like that with anyone."

"I always told you that House was a decent person." Cameron added as they got off the elevator.

They continued to chat as they made their way to the conference room. As they opened the door Chase froze in the doorway looking around.

"Chase?" Foreman asked.

"Jocelyn?" Chase called, stepping in the room. "Where are you?" Chase bent down to look under the table.

"Chase?" Cameron questioned also as he got down on the floor.

"Where is she?" Chase started to get nervous. "Jocelyn?" He called out again. "I'm back. I'm sorry I left you. Come out."

"I'm sure she's around here some place." Cameron moved into the room and started to look around.

"She might have lain down in House's office."

"Her bag is still here. She doesn't go anyplace with out it. Oh god. Some one took her." Chase sat on the floor, starting to panic. "I shouldn't have left her. God, what kind of father am I? Anyone could have walked in her and took her. She doesn't talk, no one would have heard her. I got to call-"

"Chase." Foreman cut off his tirade as he saw something on the table near Jocelyn's bag. Picking up the paper he handed it to Chase.

"House. I'm going to kill him. Where the hell could he have taken her?" He handed the note to Cameron as he stood up and started to pace back and forth.

"Clinic." Cameron said, hanging the note back to him.

"What?"

"Earning my keep? Tell me that don't sound like House."

"That bastard. Who knows what she's being exposed to down there." Chase ranted as he ran out of the room with the note in his hand.

Cameron and Foreman looked between them before heading out after Chase.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where is he?" Chase asked the nurses at the desk.

"Dr. House?" At Chase's slight nod, one of them continued. "Exam room one. Was about to send in another patient."

"No." Chase's answer was final as he stormed to the exam room in question.

The nurse looked at Cameron and Foreman, both of who shrugged.

"House, how dare you." Chase walked into the room in a rage. "Who gave you permission to take her down here? Without my permission? What kind of person brings a child to the clinic? Who knows what she's been exposed to?" Chase ranted.

"Chase, she's fine. I promise." House was a little put off at how Chase was reacting. He didn't think that Chase would have reacted so strongly. He glanced at Jocelyn who was looking scared. "And look our latest patient." He put a smile on trying to distract the little girl. "I think you need to take this one." He motioned between father and daughter.

"House." Chase growled, which made House smile even more.

"Please have a seat." He waved Chase over to the exam table. Chase moved to do what he was told. "Uh, wait a second. Our doctor needs a lab coat and a name badge." Chase gave House a look. "Don't want the new intern to pick up all my bad habits."

In the corner Cameron and Foreman hid their smiles behind their hands. Both wanted to break out into laughter as House 'helped' Chase take his lab coat off and put it on his daughter. But they knew that he'd make their lives miserable if he heard so much as a chuckle out of them.

Robert couldn't help but smile as he took a look at his daughter as he took a seat on the exam table. Jocelyn had on his lab coat, a coat that was big enough to fit 10 of her in. She had her toy stethoscope out around her neck. She was cute. He couldn't deny that fact. And if she wanted to play doctor who was he to deny her. Robert just wished that it wasn't in front of his colleagues or House.

House lifted her up onto the chair and held it steady for her, so that he wouldn't roll too much while on her knees. "So, what's the first thing we do?" House asked her.

Jocelyn went to the medical bag that was beside her and took out a thermometer. House nodded and smiled as she brought the plastic thermometer to her father's mouth.

Chase opened his mouth and allowed her to lay it in there. The next thing she did was open up his sleeve and lay her fingers on his wrist.

"Picked up pretty quickly didn't she?" Cameron commented watching from the side.

Jocelyn next took out the blood pressure cuff from the bag and wrapped it around Chase's forearm. She pumped the little hand pump on the side. She then put the stethoscope in her ears and put it against his chest.

After listening a few moments she put all her equipment back in her bag, closed it up, and jumped off the chair. She went over to the counter where she was sitting before. She felt around for the paper brought it down with a pen and leaned against the chair, where she made a mark on the paper and then looked back up at House.

House looked over at the paper and started to laugh. "Good job, Jocelyn. You can be my intern anytime." He smiled down and her as she smiled back at him.

Buttoning up his sleeve, Chase went over to look at the paper. There were five columns. Each column had a heading of either Cold/Allergies, Stitches, Broken Bones, Other, and Stupidity written in a very familiar hand writing. "House has been keeping track of his patients?" Jocelyn nodded. "And where did you put me?" Chase was almost afraid to know the answer. He was starting to think that his daughter was spending too much time with the older doctor. The last thing he needed was for Jocelyn to start acting like Gregory House.

Robert was more than happy when she pointed to Other. "You did a good job. I'm very proud of you. But it's time for lunch. You hungry?" Jocelyn nodded. Another reason for Robert to be happy. It was the first time that she admitted to being hungry. Maybe things were starting to move in the right direction.

Picking her up Chase turned to his boss. "If she comes down with even a sniffle it's your fault. And never take her out of there with out paging me and letting me know first. Got that?" Chase's finger poked House right in his chest.

"When protecting their young, even the tame and timid wombat will show its claws." He joked as Chase left with Jocelyn. He turned to see Foreman and Cameron still there, hands covering their mouths.

"Did you get pictures of that?" Foreman asked, knowing that House had started carrying a camera around with him.

"Of course I did. No flash." House smiled. "And if either of you tell Chase that, you will be Jocelyn's next patients. And there will be video that will be shown to all who work in the hospital." House moved to leave the room. His clinic fun was over. It was time to grab something to eat and bother Wilson.
