Chapter 13: School Days School Days

"So."

"So?"

"I have never done this before." Allison said, looking at her child in the seat next to her. Currently, they were sitting in the car in front of the school.

"Strange, I thought that you had to go to school for at least 8 years to be a doctor?" Hannah quipped, while looking put the window. When she turned her head, Allison could see fear and apprehension in her daughter's eyes.

"You know you are the most brilliant kid I have ever known."

"You're just saying that because I'm your kid." Hannah sighed.

Allison just looked at her head, "No, I mean it. This school only takes about 10 - 20 new students a year. I also submitted your application 2 weeks late and the dean waived your interview."

Hannah just turned her head and looked at her. Allison, feeling like a mother, touched the end of Hannah's nose with her index finger. "You can do this. Even if feel that you can't, I believe in you." She said, putting her hands back on the steering wheel. "You're my child, you have never let me down before."

Hannah just looked at her and smiled. "Alright. No falling down, I got it. Gotta look cool." At that, she grabbed her bag and began to open the door.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Allison asked, still half turned towards her.

Hannah just leaned over and gave her a big hug and a kiss on her cheek. "Thanks for the pep talk coach. I think I can handle it from here."

"All right. I will be here to pick you up after school at 3:30. Call me if you need me for anything. Got it?" Allison said with a serious look on her face.

"Ok, see you then!" At that she got out of the car and closed the door. With one final look at her mom in the car, she was on her way to the front of the school.

"Good Luck Kiddo." Allison said as she watched her go through the doors to the school. Turning towards the road, she began the short drive to the hospital.

Hannah walked the hall with the mass of students, searching for her first class and her locker. It seemed that she must have a 'newbie' sticker on her forehead, because everyone was staring at her. In the corner, she saw a group of guys looking intently at her. Blowing them off, she began to search for her locker.

'Let's see.. 1245,1246, and 1247.' She thought as she searched for her locker. Putting the paper away in her bag and looking up, she quickly unlocked the locker and put her things away. She reached in her bag and felt something that wasn't in her bag this morning. Puzzled, she reached into her bag and pulled out a 'locker' sized Hello Kitty mirror.

Smiling, she tore the wrapping off and put it on the door of her locker. After unloading a few of her things, she checked her reflection and smiled. 'Time for class!' She thought.

It took her two quick peaks at the campus map and double-checking the room number to get there. But she did. As she walked into the room, she looked around for a desk to sit in. There were only a few left, one in the front and one in the middle. Not wanting to sit in the front, she chose the middle desk. Presently, she was sitting beside a stupid looking girl smacking gum and another girl with glasses.

The gum, chewing girl just ignored her but the girl with glasses gave her a timid smile, and returned to her book. 'Sense and Sensibility', she thought as she read the front of the book. Hannah knew she would like this girl immediately.

"Hi. I'm Hannah." She said, as she put her bag down and began to get her notebook out.

"Oh! Lila, my name is Lila." The girl said, as she put her book down on the desk. "Nice to meet you."

"Back at ya." Hannah said, as she sat down in the desk beside her.

It was then that the bell rang and the teacher came in and introduced himself.

"Good Morning class. I am Dr. Michael Robertson from Princeton University. I will be teaching you this year in AP English. Now, let's get your books signed out and get this show on the road."

The class went by without a hitch. Hannah loved this class so far, and Lila was nice. It seemed that Lila has almost every class with her, even lunch. Even though she was nervous, it seemed that things would be fine.

It wasn't until 6th period that she met her worst nightmare. What started out as a lovely day at school, ended when he came in.

Lila and Hannah were sitting at the table near the middle when it happened. Lila seemed to be talking one moment and withdrawn the next. Puzzled, Hannah looked up to see what made her friend nervous.

In the doorway walked a guy with some girl fawning all over him. He was tall and well built. His hair was dark brown and came to his chin. His eyes were bright blue. They reminded her of someone else's eyes. He was currently ignoring the girl that was following him, scanning the class for someone. When he spotted her table, he smiled and came over.

"Lila, need a ride home after school?" The boy said with an arrogant voice.

"No." she replied, with her head lowered. It seemed that Lila was trying to disappear in her desk.

At that, the boy just nodded and began to turn to leave. Before he left, he looked her way and smirked. "Who's your friend, Lil?"

At that Lila jerked her head up and glared at the boy. "None of your business Dylan!"

"Whoa Lil, don't get snappy. I was just curious."

Hannah just watched the two as they glared at each other. Lila was the first one to break away, which made him smirk. Before he left, he looked at her and winked. The girl that was following him just whined and began to pull his arm. Once he was out of the classroom, Lila relaxed.

"Who was that guy Lila? He looked like a jerk." Hannah asked, looking at her new friend.

Lila just sighed and looked down at her hands. "That's Dylan. He's my brother."

Hannah just stared at her new friend. That playboy was her brother! That jerk that had that stupid girl following him was her brother. It was just mind blowing. Hannah just slumped in her chair. The class went by and all she could concentrate on was the stupid boy.

At the end of class, Lila and Hannah talked for a few minutes before going separate ways. Lila had Vocal Ensemble III for 7th period, which was near the gym. Hannah had Art III, which was near the front of the school. The two said their goodbyes, exchanged phone numbers and walked away with a smile.

Hannah was walking down the halls to the Art room when she felt a hand grasp her shoulder and pull her towards a warm body. Startled, she looked up and gasped. It was Lila's brother, the jerk from 6th period!

"Happy to see me?" He said, as he looked down at her.

"You're going to see how happy in a minute, if you don't take your hand off me." Hannah said, looking over at the hand on her shoulder.

"Now, now. You don't want to do that when we are right in front of the dean's office. What would they say if you slapped me on your first day here, Hannah?" Dylan said, leaning closer to her ear.

Hannah just lowered her hand and kept walking. "I don't remember telling you my name. Nor, do I remember us being on a first name basis."

"Well, it's not every day that this school gets a new student. Everyone knows your name. I'm just glad that you aren't ugly as sin. In fact, you are quite a looker." He said, as he pulled away from her just in time. He just laughed and began to back up when he saw her hand swing at him. "Temper, temper Hannah. What would the dean think? He's right over there you know." He said, pointed behind her.

Hannah just froze and turned slowly. When she looked in the direction that he was pointing, her anger towards the boy increased. In front of her was the door to the men's bathroom. When she turned around to give him a piece of her mind, she saw him walking away from her. 'There is no way that Lila is related to that.. that .. big .. dumbhead! I won't believe it.'

Growling, she turned and continued her trek to class. If she had turned around again, she would have seen Dylan looking at her back with a small smile on his face.

"See ya tomorrow, new kid." He said, as he watched her plow her way to 7th period.

(Allison's Day)

A young woman was hunched over in the cold, dark lab. Not over the usual microscope, but hunched over a pager. She came to the lab to help the department, since they didn't have patient. After the second set of tests, she gave up.

Allison was so intent on watching the pager at the moment, that she didn't notice that she was not alone in the lab. A set of intense eyes were fixed on her, the body that the eyes belonged too was standing beside her.

House watched her stare at the pager like she was going to catch it doing something miraculous. He knew what she was doing without even asking. It was one of the benefits of working with the most organized person in the world. Every calendar was marked, Hannah's First Day. So, while Cameron watched the pager, House stood back and watched her.

A few more minutes ticked by before House couldn't take it anymore. Why watch when he could have so much fun with this?

'She's fine. Everything's ok. You have nothing to worry about.'

"You know, if you stare at it long enough it will catch fire." House said in her ear, making her jump.

"Jesus House!" Allison cried, jolting out of her daze. "You would think that a man with a cane would make more noise." She said, turning back to the microscope.

"Oh, I make noise alright. You were just "on a level" with your pager." House said, smirking at her. "I was about to leave you two alone."

"Sorry, it won't happen again." She said, as she began to pick up her pager.

"Leave it." House said, pushing the pager away from her hand. He looked into her eyes for a second before turning his head to the door. He thumped his cane on the ground loudly before starting again.

"This is what frustrates me the most about you. Cameron, your child is at a new school. She is in a new situation. You have every right to be worried. Don't be nice and tell me sorry. Tell me to shove it, keep staring at your pager and be a worried parent!"

Allison was about to apologize again, but a look from House made her shut her mouth again. "Don't you dare apologize." He warned her before turning and going towards the door.

"Oh, I have to leave at 3:00 to pick her up from school." She called to him as he was leaving the lab.

"Don't you have the late shift today?" House asked her without looking back.

"Oh! That's right. Maybe I can get Foreman to get her or Chase."

House turned and looked at her with sharp eyes, "You're thinking about letting Chase pick up your 15 year old Daughter? Are you insane? Do you happen to remember that she look's almost exactly like you?"

Allison just sighed and leaned her back on the table, looking up at the ceiling. He was right, that was a stupid idea.

"I'll take care of it." House said, leaving the lab and a bewildered immunologist to wonder exactly what just happened.

Hmd Hmd Hmd Hmd Hmd

At 3:00 House limped out of the hospital to his car. But not before being stopped by Hitler on the way out.

"House! Clinic Duty! Three Hours today with your name on them." Cuddy called as he ignored her.

"Can't, got a hot chick to pick up from school." House said, turning towards his boss.

"School? Why in the world would you be going near a school? Or a kid for that matter?" She asked, looking utterly confused. After a few minutes of looking at his nervous stance, the light dawned on her. "Cameron's kid." Cuddy said, her eyes widening as she looked at him. "You're picking up Cameron's kid from school? And she is ok with this?"

"It was either me or the lecherous aussie."

"Ahh the greater of two evils, I see." Cuddy said, "But how on earth did you even get her to get you to do it?" Cuddy pondered, looking at him.

House just stood there, looking to the side. His body was rigid with anxiety, and he looked nervous. "Oh my god. You offered, didn't you?"

"Well, I figured if I did this for her, then maybe I would get a little something as a thank you." He said, winking at her and smirking. Cuddy just sighed and turned to walk to her office.

"Just remember the clinic hours and try not to kill her." Cuddy said opening the door to her office.

House just rolled his eyes and went out the front doors to his car. He just hoped that no one else had seen him leaving either.

'House is leaving to pick up a kid. Wait? Cameron has a kid?' The watcher said, walking to the elevator. As the observer stepped on the elevator, her smiled. It seemed like it was time for Dr. Wilson to pay a visit to a certain immunologist.

(Present time with Hannah)

Hannah smiled as she left the Art room once the bell rang. One thing that Hannah was pleased to say that she could share with her father was a love of art. Her talent, she received from him. After five minutes in the class, Hannah realized that she loved the class and the teacher in it.

Mrs. Hinlenson, such a character. She reminded her of Professor Trelawney, the Divination Teacher in the Harry Potter books. From the "off" personality to the way she still her hair. The woman was a crazy woman but an artistic genius.

All and all a wonderful day at school, she made a friend. Loved all her classes. The workload was just perfect, not a thing was negative.

As she walked to her locker, she stopped. There, across from her locker was that stupid boy and the dumb, gum smacking girl! She was definitely showing that she could do other things with her mouth than smacking gum.

'What a stupid … git!' Hannah thought to herself. Git? What British movie did she hear that from? She just fumed more when she saw him open his eyes and wink at her, as he was still kissing the stupid girl!

Through her haze, she almost missed Lila. Looking over at her and turning away from the scene, she smiled. "Let's get our books and go! My mom is picking me up."

Lila just nodded her head and glared at her brother. Dylan just shrugged his shoulders and pushed the girl off him. Brother and sister stared each other down, before Lila broke away. Dylan patted her head as he walked by her.

"See you at home Lil. Oh, and tell your friend, Later, for me." He said, walking away from her without looking back.

When Hannah came back to the front, Lila was still glaring down the hall. "Whoa there, did the temperature just get colder over here?" She said with a smile

Lila just blushed and looked to her shoes. "Hey! Don't worry; I think he's a dofus too. Let's go wait outside."

Hannah opened the doors and smiled. It was sunny outside and perfect. Lila seemed to have a gleam in her eye too. "We can wait here for my mom."

"Stay with her too long and you might turn into a doctor after all." Came a scruffy voice from behind them, his blue eyes intently watching the girl next to Hannah.

Hannah froze and turned around. In front of her was Dr. House in all his glory. He was wearing a rolling stones t-shirt with a tan blazer and a pair of jeans. He was currently looking right at Lila, she noticed.

" Sigh is there a reason fro you too be here or are you looking for a job?" Hannah said, rolling her eyes. "And what are you talking about?"

"Lilandra McAffree, daughter of Dr. Robert McAffree. The Dean of Medicine for UMC of Princeton." House explained, nodding towards her friend. Seeing the look that Hannah gave him, he raised his hand in defeat. "Long story, involves a cane, a car, and an insane amount of alcohol. You should ask your father sometime." He said as he nodded again to Lila. He just turned and began walking towards the red convertible parked by the side of the road.

Hannah just watched him leave with wide eyes. "I think he's here for you, Hannah." A small voice said, looking up at her.

"You coming? Sick people to treat here!" House called, looking back to Hannah.

"I guess so. I'll call you tonight." Hannah said, looking at Lila. "See you tomorrow!"

Lila just looked after her and waved, even after the convertible roared to life, and flew away from the school. She turned her head, when she heard the horn of her father's car. The driver had the door open for her by the time she came to the car.

"Good Afternoon Father." She said to her father.

"Lila, did you have a good day?" the man replied, nodding his head at the driver to be on their way.

"Yes sir. I made a new friend today." Lila said, looking at her father. He was currently looking out the window. Lila just sighed and slumped in her seat, silently missing the vibrance of her new friend.

"So, are you going to let me in on why you are here instead of my mom or am I going to have to guess?" Hannah said, looking over at him.

"Guessing is so much fun!" House said, shifting gears. "And I'll give you a hint. It's not green and you can't wear it."

"Oh darn, that just leaves so much to play with." Hannah said, "So, what do you want from my mom?" She smirked at him knowingly.

"I'm shocked! Aren't I able to do something nice once in a while?"

"I'm just surprised that the car didn't catch fire when you said the word nice." Hannah said

"Well, I felt that I should test the "fire" resistance of the car. Looks like it passed." House said, as pulled into the garage. The two sat in silence as he parked in his parking space.

"Thanks for picking me up." Hannah said, before he got out of the car.

House didn't say anything, but his eyes bore into hers for a moment. Cameron's kid looked so much like her it was uncanny. He truthfully had no idea why he picked her up. He just felt that he needed too. As he closed the door, he said a quiet, 'Your Welcome' and walked towards the doors to the hospital.

"Now, for the fun part." House said, looking at her. "Looking for mommy, while avoiding Hitler and the Boy Wonder." He said to her.

The pair managed to get into the hospital and in the elevator without being stopped. As House limped out of the elevator, he smelled a familiar smell and started to limp faster.

He would know that smell until the day he died. That light, floral smell that used to make his heart speed up, but now only fueled his anger. Stacy was close, which meant that he wanted to get away. For once, he wanted to get away and towards something else. That something else had everything to do with why he actually went on a limb to help someone today and with the person trying to catch up to him.

"What's up?" Hannah asked, trying for once to keep up with him. "You booked it, like the devil was on your tail."

"Someone I do not want to see today." House said, turning towards her but not stopping.

As the two walked towards his office, he noticed two things. One was that avoiding the Boy Wonder would be impossible today. And Two, Hitler had returned from the grave and looked too happy.

Currently, Wilson was glaring at Cameron. While, Cuddy was smirking at him.

"A party without me? For shame!" House said, coming into the conference room.

Wilson just looked at him with a glare that could freeze hell. House just sighed; this was so not going to be pretty.

"You owe me." Was all he said, but stayed sitting at the table. He looked at Cameron as well. "And you should have told me, period."

Cuddy just watched Wilson glare at the two. Cameron was looking like a child being scalded by a parent. House was just being House, but she could tell that he was also in the same boat. But, it was the figure behind him that suddenly caught all her attention.

"Oh my god! She looks just like you!" Cuddy squealed and rushed to a younger Cameron's side. House was quick to her away from the woman before he was pushed over.

"Um Hi?" was all Hannah could say, when the woman came to stand in front of her.

"Lisa Cuddy, it's nice to meet you." Cuddy said, looking down at her. "I have a meeting to get too, House clinic duty now, Wilson chill out and Cameron give you daughter a hug. Bye now."

"Hitler?" Hannah said, looking at House.

House just smirked but stopped once he saw the looks that Wilson and Cameron were giving him. "What?"

Hmd hmd hmd hmd hmd

Allison pushed out her chair and stood up. She walked up to Hannah and gave her a hug. In her mind's eye, she could feel Wilson staring a whole in her back. Stepping to the side, she half turned towards him and smiled, "Wilson, meet my daughter, Hannah."

Hannah just stared at Wilson, staring at her. Internally, she wanted to say something snappy at him. But she had manners and used them. She could wait and see what he had too say, or someone could beat her to it.

"This is where you say something like "Hello" back, Wilson. Geez, some people have no manner." House said, smirking at Wilson.

"Well, excuse me but if I was shocked for a moment. I mean they could be twins, House." He said, looking over at House's 'bored' face. "You can't tell me that you didn't do the same when you saw them together."

"Nope." House said, not noticing that Hannah and Allison were nodding their heads 'yes' at Wilson. House saw Wilson smirk and turned to see the girls looking too innocent. "Traitors." He muttered.

"It's nice to meet you Hannah." Wilson said, coming to stand in front of her and holding his hand out. Hannah smiled and shook his hand lightly.

Allison took this moment to look at the clock. "I need to get back down to the clinic and work my last few hours. Hannah, you can go to the café if you want to start your homework." She said, as she started ushering her out of the conference room.

"She can stay here." House said, getting up and limping towards the door that they were standing at. "I think she's safe." He said, turning to Hannah. House just looked down at her. "You won't touch anything, will you?"

"I think I can handle it. But I would take the ipod with you. It might get crazy in here if you left it." Hannah said, putting her book bag on the table in front of her.

"If you are a good girl, I might teach you about big people music." House said, lowering his head towards her with humor in his blue eyes.

"And if you are you good doctor, I might tell you what
