Disclaimer: I don't own House

A/N: My sister Alexis wrote this.

The puppy quietly whimpered in pain and there was hysterical laughing above him. the puppy lied there in the parking lot of the hospital of PPTH. He had quietly managed to get into one of the cars and that was where he currently layed.There was a man and he pulled a knife out as quickly as he had put it in. The puppy yelped in pain and wiggled in silent torture.

He wiped the blood on the puupy's fur and quickly got out of the car. He ran out and into his own car leaving the parking lot. He didn't notice anyone heading toward the car he had came from or the silent chatter among them.

Chase was quickly getting tired of House complaining of his bad leg and how 'mommie' gave him extra hours of clinic duty. Chase couldn't wait until the time came where he would actually get to leave the hospital. His two year old daughter, MaryAnn was smacking Foreman on the back and then pointing innocently to the misanthropic, adding to House's misery which in turn made Chase more than ready to leave. When his daughter began to really bug House, Chase decided that he was ready to leave, besides he really had to get her into bed.

They were out the door and nearing the parking lot when MaryAnn whimpered and grabbed onto House's leg. He had simply decided to leave too and therefore was annoyed at the leg grabbing and sitting on his shoe thing. It was obvious that Chase's daughter was small for her age, what wasn't obvious was that her mother had died in the middle of the c-section which payed an alrming toll on Chase.

MaryAnn then went ahead and spotted the puppy on the ground near their car. Her eyes lit up at the sight of a puppy but House held her back. Chase went over and checked the damage, then put some pressure on the wound. He could still hear the small whimper of the dog before it stopped breathing all together and lay dead on where it was in the poor animal's own blood.

MaryAnn cried and wanted to go to the puppy, but House had a good hold on her. She sent him a confused look and there was an unusual sparkle in her eyes, but anyone who knew her well knew that she had it since birth. Chase knew where it came from since it was one of the perks of his late girlfriend's. Chase had been suprised to see the same sparkle in the dog's before they had closed forever.

"Bubble go home with us," MaryAnne asked looking up at House.

House looked at Chase who shaked his head saddly and went over to the car and got some gloves to pick up the animal and put it in a box without the risk of contamination. He was was too busy with the task that he didn't tell MaryAnn about the situation, besides he didn't know what he would say to her.

"Why Bubbles go in there," MaryAnn asked excused.

"Because, we can't keep it because of the rules remember," Chase finally said. "I know someone who'd love to keep him. Then when we move we can get our own little puppy."

"Not true," MaryAnn said.

Chase sighed and looked at House for help.

"Oh gosh the dog is dead and we're having the funeral for it," House said in a high pitched voice.

MaryAnn started to cry and Chase glared at him.

"Listen sweetie, sometimes even when there's an animal with no home, they die and it may not be fair but it's life," Chase explained.

He was wondering how the dog died but it became aparent of where judging from the blood in his car. The dog must have tried to get to the hospital for help but it was obvious that he hadn't made it there.

MaryAnne wanted a puppy so bad. She wanted one to make her happy besides making House annoyed, eating, bonking Wilson, especially on his nose, getting piggy bank rides, putting icecream on Foreman's head and watching him scream, playing with Cuddy's hair, putting makeup on Cameron while she was at the apartment(and sleeping because she'd never allow her to while she was awake), and watching her dad get minor injuries.

She kicked both House and her daddie for what they had said and sat at a curb trying to ignore them. There was red stuff all over and usually that meant they were gone forever. Tears came to her eyes just thinking of the puppy and how he would never be alive again.She would forever have bed dreams from this. She then saw on a peice of black construction paper that read "Revenge Retard". She was too little to know what that meant though and showed it to her dad.

Chase froze when he saw it and House did likewize. He went over and picked up his daughter while House observed the threatening note.

MaryAnne stared at the puppy in the box because it was still open and she couldn't turn away. He was just laying there and she wanted him to just get up and come home with them but she doubted that that happened often. Looking over to him, she whispered, "Don't weave me bubbles."

Chase turned her to him and said, " Don't worry sweetie, we'll get a puppy and as with this one, we could bury it if you like."

She put her head on his shoulder and put a hanful of his shirt in her tiny fist. If her daddie said it was going to be okay, then she had to believe him.

Message from the author:

There will be a chapter two, I hope. What I wanted to say is some people are cruel and rude so they may commit cruelty to animals or abuse them. I think that is wrong. Pets are a huge part of a person's life and even they may not realize it, they usually do when they've lost it. I know how that feels because I've lost a dog and I'm still upset by it. I loved my sweet puppy and it takes a long time for the pain to lessen. No one truly can get over it. I have another dog but I still think about the other one sometimes. Today is his birthday and he is a year old.
