Author's Note: Oh come on. Don't tell me you didn't see Cameron's almost-nervous-breakdown coming. Thanks to reviewers, especially annoying ones!

The car screeched to a halt and Tally fell to the ground, and both Cameron and Chase rushed to her side.

"Oh, crap!" Cameron cursed.

"Call 911!" Chase ordered.

"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't insist that we shouldn't grab her!"

"Are you gonna call 911?"

"She was hallucinating!"

"You know what, Cameron, I really don't care what you think. I know you're only pissed off with me because you don't know what you feel anymore." Chase yelled, getting his phone out of his pocket and dialling.

"Oh, House is gonna be thrilled about this!"

"Why? She's not dead, so he doesn't care."

"Tally's his daughter, that's why!" Cameron yelled and immediately realised what she had let slip and put her head down. "Forget I said that." she muttered.

Chase wasn't sure whether she was joking or not.

"You're…you're kidding, right?"

"Uh…"

"Police, fire or ambulance?" said the voice on the other line.

"She got hit by a car!" Cameron explained to House in his office.

"She got what?" asked House.

"Hallucinating."

"Oh good." House said writing the new symptom on the board.

"Good?" Cameron repeated.

"It means she doesn't have MS. Go tell her. Bring flowers, chocolates, fluffy little bunnies, I don't care." House said, as Cameron rolled her eyes and left.

"Dr. Chase," House called as Chase began to leave.

"What?" Chase said gruffly.

"What is it that you're not telling me?"

"What?"

"I'm glad to find you have such an expansive vocabulary. I said what is it that you're not telling me?"

"What makes you think you'd be interested?"

"I want to know everything."

"Okay." Chase grinned, "Tally is your daughter. Cameron told me."

"Dr. Cameron…is a liar." House said firmly and left the room.

"So, you don't have MS!" Cameron told Tally, who breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do I have, then?" Tally asked.

Cameron swallowed.

"Well, now we're not exactly sure…but we're putting all our effort into it."

"You…you don't know?"

Cameron opened her mouth to speak, but just at that point House walked in.

"What do you want." Tally glared at him.

"Not to talk to you. Cameron." House hastily said.

"What's up?" Cameron asked as Chase and Foreman walked in.

"Chase knows!" House yelled.

"You told him!" Cameron asked Chase, annoyed.

"I can hear the yelling from down the hall, what's going on!" Cuddy demanded, just walking in with Wilson.

"House is Tally's father." Chase said happily.

"Oh, thanks so much," House remarked to Chase.

"What!" Wilson asked.

"You're her father!" Cuddy asked in disbelief.

"She's your daughter!" Foreman asked, equally disbelieving.

"Uh, right here!" Tally spoke up.

"House, why didn't you talk to me about this?" Wilson asked.

Cuddy put her hand up to her head for a moment.

"All right. I don't want to hear any more. You, just get her better," she said to House, "And you," she continued to Chase, "Just…stop looking so smug!"

"I can't believe you told him!" Cameron yelled at Chase, as they were walking down the hallway.

"What, did you think I wasn't going to?" he replied sarcastically.

"You're an arrogant bastard, you know."

"Hey, you shouldn't have told me."

Cameron turned to Chase.

"I shouldn't even talk to egotistical assholes like you, if we all wanted a House try-hard, we'd find someone less infuriating! You're a bad doctor, a bad co-worker and a bad person!" she snapped under her breath, and sped up leaving Chase standing there looking confused and trying to take in what had just happened.
