A/N: I lied, I have a bajillion more ideas, this is so not done yet! Happy Easter everyone!
"Her cortisol levels are low," Chase said as he stood in front of House and pulled out the test results from a folder. "Her white count is slightly elevated but that's not really out of the ordinary."
"Cortisol levels are low," House said thoughtfully as he twirled his cane in the air, "What would cause that?"
"It could be any number of things," Foreman replied, "Prolactinoma..."
"Not the right symptoms," House said, "We're looking for abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and low blood pressure, not post pregnancy symptoms." A thought raced through House's mind and he wondered if it were at all possible... Another thing to ask Jenny if they didn't find the cause of her disease.
"Lung cancer," Chase suggested, "There are unspecified symptoms like Jenny has and it could have spread to her adrenal glands."
"She doesn't smoke, neither do her parents." Foreman pointed out.
"Radon gas, it's a mutagen known to cause it." Chase replied.
"Possible, we'll get Wilson to do a biopsy, it has the least amount of risk with her condition."
"Crohn's Disease?" Foreman asked.
"No, her bowels are fine." Chase replied.
"Diabetes Mellitus?"
"Test her glucose levels," House said, "Where's Cameron?"
"She was checking on Jenny." Chase said, "Her BP is up a bit and her air ways are open, should we take her off the ventilator?"
"Give her another hour," House replied, "For safe measure."

"How is she?" Spencer asked from the side of Jenny's bed, he held the young girls hand in his own and gently pushed a lock of brown hair away from her face.
"Her fever is still spiking," Cameron said as she accepted a bag of ice from a nurse standing near by and gently placed it beneath Jenny's covers. "But we may be able to take her off the ventilator soon. Her air ways are clearing, as long as we know all the medication she's allergic to from here on in, we shouldn't have another scare like that."
"Interferon's the only one I know about." Spencer replied quietly, "Are you any closer to learning what's wrong?"
"There are a few things we're looking into." Cameron replied kindly, "You need to be strong for her, she's depending on you."
"What if she doesn't wake up?" Spencer asked.
"She will," Cameron replied, "She's still responsive to pain, a lot of this is just fatigue. When we understand what's wrong, we'll be able to deal with these episodes and hopefully avoid them."
"She's not a bad person you know," Spencer said quietly, "I know Doctor House thinks she is because she didn't tell him about her dad, but she's not. She's the strongest person I know, she's just quiet about it, she understands that she's not the only person out there that needs help."
"That doesn't mean she's not allowed to ask for it," Cameron said with a faint smile, "Everyone needs a helping hand once in a while. You shouldn't mind Doctor House, he naturally dislikes patients."
"He judges her," Spencer said, "Like she's selfish for not wanting to cause trouble."
"He's... a good guy," Cameron said slowly, picking her words with ease, "He just doesn't know how to show emotion for people."
"Well, I still don't think it's right... She's not trying to make his life difficult, she's just trying to get through her own."
"I can understand that." Cameron said as she placed another bag of ice beside Jenny and rested her hand on the young girls' forehead. "She's not going to come down any time soon..." Something caught her eye, a strange marking along Jenny's arm. "This is a strange scar." Cameron said as she gently turned the arm so it could be seen. It was a row of several small holes.
"Dog bite." Spencer replied with a nod, "Her parents have two Rottweiler's, six months ago when..." He trailed off for a moment and then cleared his throat, "She tried to run but those dogs hate her, one bit her."
"Did she get a rabies shot?"
Spencer nodded, "I took her to a clinic and we got one, no questions asked fortunately. But we couldn't leave after that."
"Looks like it was infected..." Cameron muttered.
"It was, they wouldn't let her clean it or anything... She tried though.." Spencer's voice trailed off once again as the door to the room opened.
"We're doing a biopsy on her lung when she wakes up." Wilson said as he walked in, "How is she?"
"Not too good." Cameron replied quietly, trying to not let the worry come in her voice. "Why?"
"Her Cortisol levels are low, lung cancer may have spread to her adrenal glands."
"Cancer? But she doesn't smoke!" Spencer said.
"There can be other factors." Wilson replied, "Mutagens in the environment can cause all types of Cancer. We're just ruling it out, don't get too worked up yet."
"How many more tests are you going to have to do?" Spencer asked as he turned back to Jenny, his gaze soft and concerned.
"As many as we need to." Cameron replied softly, "We're going to get her better. Don't worry."

'Oh Jake... We can't!'
'We have to Sarah, it's the only way!'
'But your brother... when he gets out of his coma... Jake he'll come for me!'
'I'll protect you, Sarah.'
"No, he won't, he's lying Sarah."
'You won't Jake, I know you're still mad about the affair.'
"Well he has a right to be."
'I have full right to be! After what you did!'
'I swear the baby is yours Jake!'
"Nope, its Chad's..." House sighed and flipped off the TV in his office, General Hospital was disappointing that day.
"Her Cortisol levels are low... what would do that?"
A/N: Sorry, it's short, Easter Sunday! More later tonight!
