The next day

After breakfast, he was finally allowed to go home. House checked some stuff again, but finally let him go now.

A nurse and Julie helped him get dressed and he tried not be upset as he needed two people to help him get dressed. He had almost been able to do it himself with a bit of help, but now he was back at square one. He knew eventually it would still get better, but it was upsetting now. Getting helped into his chair, he felt too tired to even move a little bit. Julie started pushing his wheelchair as he was thanking everybody for the good care, but honestly he still didn't feel that great.

Getting to the car, he wanted to grab the armrest and the roof of the car to pull himself into the car.

''Stop, you will fall.'' She said worried. Carefully laying her arms around him and helping him get in the car today, he almost fell asleep in the car again. Worried she looked aside, knew how bad he had been and even though he was going home, she was still scared.

At home, they struggled getting him out of the car, but he was so glad with the idea of being in his own bed again tonight.

He was struggling to sit up in his chair. His stomach muscles were worse than usually after being so ill and he was glad when they made it to his apartment.

''Alright, let's get you in bed.'' Julie said worried as she saw him getting paler and paler.

''Or the couch?'' He asked and she nodded. Helping him on the couch and getting comfortable, she walked to the kitchen to grab some lunch for the both of them. He still didn't feel great, but it was nice to be home. Even though it was he found it hard to allow people to get so close to him, he was really glad Julie was here for him. Timtam came to greet him as well and he hugged the cat, just glad to be home now.

Just a few days ago he had told House he didn't want to live anymore, and now he was home on his own couch with his cat and a girlfriend that cared about him so much.

Julie came walking back with two mugs of hot chocolate and sat down beside him.

''Looks like he is happy you're back.'' She said, wanting to pet the cat but he jumped on Chase's chest then.

''Don't worry, I still want all your cuddles.'' He said with a smile.

''The cat is still an idiot.''

''Always an idiot.'' Chase chuckled. Julie helped him sit up a bit so that he could drink a bit more easily and held the mug by his mouth.

''Rob – what you said in the hospital about nobody you ever looking after you – what was that about?''

''Just – my family never looked after me and I have always had to do things on my own. I know you mean well but it took me a moment to accept the fact you care enough about me to take care of me.'' He admitted.

''Are they still in Australia?'' Julie asked, not sure if he would even want to answer that.

''My parents are dead, but I have a sister in Australia.'' Chase admitted. ''I have spoken on the phone with her a few times the last few years, but honestly I don't stay in contract with her.''

''Does she know you got shot.''

''No, she wouldn't care.''

''You don't know that, she never got the chance since you didn't tell her.''

Chase rolled his eyes, a bit annoyed. They sat together, Julie leaving his family for what it was now and together they started watching a movie. Even after five minutes, he couldn't stay awake, falling asleep against her. Waking up as his head was nodding forward.

''Let me get you to bed.'' Julie said as she looked as he was getting more tired with the minute. Struggling to sit up, he was glad he had her to help him. It was hard to accept the help, but she cared, and the trusted her. Helping him on the bed, he felt exhausted even from this small trip from the couch to the bed.

As she was putting an extra pillow in his back so it was a bit easier to breathe, he smiled at her, caressing his hand as she sat down next to him on the bed.

''I still think you should call your sister.''

''Why, you are done looking after me?'' Chase tried to divert the conversation.

''No, but she is your sister. I don't want happened between you two in the past but I guess a lot changed, she might have too.''

''I guess so.'' Chase sighed, tired and a bit annoyed they had to talk about this – she wouldn't let it rest.

''It is your own decision, but I think you should call her.''

''I might, I don't know. Will have to think about it.'' He admitted and she kissed him.

''Alright, well, take a map. I am going to make dinner.''

Almost as soon as she left the bedroom, he fell asleep. Even though he was home, he still had a long way to recover and to get back his strength he had before the pneumonia.

Waking up again, Julie was watching TV on the bed beside him.

''How are you feeling?'' She asked concerned immediately.

''So tired.'' He admitted.

''Dinner is ready when you are ready?''

''Yeah.'' He mumbled as he rubbed through his eyes. Trying to wake up a bit, he tried to sit up a bit more. His arms were shaking as he tried to sit up and he tried not to get upset. He had fought so hard for his recovery and now just a pneumonia and wiped a lot of it away.

Walking in with dinner, she helped him sit up again and helping him eat, he got more and more upset. Before he had felt really appreciative of her looking after him, but now it was getting upsetting. But thinking about the nurses that had been around him in the hospital, honestly he knew that he trusted her, and had to allow it.

With dinner out of the way, he started to feel a bit better.

''Want to take a bath?''

''Let's not move, it's not going to be good for either of us.'' He admitted.

''Alright, I don't mind, you know that.''

''I know.'' He said appreciative. But as much as he wanted to take a bath, he wasn't in any shape to have to be helped into his chair, worried about falling over and needing Julie to get in the tub as well. Although she was strong, he was really not sure if she would be able to help him out of the tub in an hour.

Laying against him, they were watching the movie, although neither of them were really paying attention.

''I am sorry I am so boring.'' He blurted out.

''You are not boring.''

''You just never knew me how I was.''

''I don't care, I know you now and nothing besides that matter.''

''Thank you.'' He smiled as he took her hand. Carefully caressing the back of his hand, she laid down against him again.

''Can you hand me my phone?'' He asked and she nodded, taking it for him.

Struggling to unlock it, he started tapping towards his contacts.

''Can you leave the room?'' He asked her and she looked a bit surprised.

''What?''

''I think I want to call my sister.'' Chase admitted. Kissing his cheek, she got up then.

Looking as she closed the door, he nervously pressed the call button.

Thanks so much for reading. I am not a big fan of the sister storyline in house but since it is part of the canon I did want to use it! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and the ending of it. Please let me know what you thought and hopefully till next chapter :)
