Chapter 14: Hannah's First Date?

Hannah nibbled on the end of her pencil, while working on her Calculus Homework. Equations and Laws worked through her mind at lightening speed. She sighed as she looked at the clock. She looked at her homework notebook, to check her progress. It was now 4:30 and her mother wouldn't be off until 7 pm. Her French, English and Statistics homework were done and checked in no time at all. That left Chemistry and Calculus, her two favorite subjects.

Foreman had already left for the day, she knew that because he stopped and talked to her for a minute. He also brought her a soda and some chips, which saved her from wondering around the hospital to search for food.

That left one person on her mother's team that she had yet to meet. Hannah leaned back in her chair and wondered what the last person was like. She had only heard snips of what the other's thought about him. Most of it wasn't good; of course most of it came from House. No surprise there.

Hannah shook her head and began to focus on her homework again, unaware of the person that was staring at her through the glass.

"There she is, I thought she was supposed to be in the clinic." Thought Robert Chase, as he watched "Cameron" through the glass. 'She's just a woman, Chase. Go and ask her!' He said as he talked himself into movement.

Chase opened the door and walked up to the table. Smiling slightly, he put his hands on her chair and peered over her shoulder. He was oblivious to the way the she seemed to freeze.

"Why on earth are you doing Calculus homework, Cameron?" He asked, completely puzzled at what he saw.

"Umm. That's because it's my homework?" "Cameron replied, not looking up at him.

"Uh, aren't you passed the AP Calculus classes Cameron?" He asked, pulling out the chair next to her to sit down.

"Well, you see. That's the thing." She said, looking at him for the first time. "I'm not exactly Cameron." A piece of her hair fell in front of her eyes as she watched him carefully.

Chase looked startled for a second, before tucking the piece of hair behind her ear. It was true; she did look a little younger today. Chase, of course thought nothing of it.

"Cameron I was wondering if…" He said, looking her in the eyes.

"Robert Chase! What in the hell do you think you are doing?" Came the angry voice of Cameron, who was now standing at the door.

Chase, now completely surprised, jolted so fast out of the chair that it fell to the floor. He looked from Cameron to Cameron and blinked. Cameron was now standing in front of him while the younger Cameron was looking down at her hands now.

House had come to stand in her previous place with a smirk on his face. "Isn't it obvious Cameron? He is moving up in the world. He went from thirteen year old cancer patients to fifteen year old high school students."

Cameron turned to House with fire in her eyes. His blue eyes widened, as he stepped back carefully towards the open door. "I will have nothing from you Dr. House! Go to the clinic, now!" She screeched as she pointed to the door.

House just stared at her before numbly turning and leaving the room. Inwardly, he wanted to stay and watch the fireworks light. But at this moment in time, his sweet Cameron is now a fighting mother Cameron. Cameron was scary now and even bitter, masochistic doctors knew when to run away.

This left Cameron, Chase and Hannah to look at each other. Cameron was still fuming, Hannah was still embarrassed and Chase was still thoroughly confused.

"If you are there, then who is that?" Chase said, trying to back away from Cameron with his hands in the air in a 'peace' gesture.

"That is my daughter, Robert Chase! Why on earth were you touching my daughter?" Cameron said, advancing on him like an angry lioness that was protecting a cub.

"She's you're what?" Chase said, looking at the girl at the table as he rounded the table trying to get away from Cameron. In the midst of running away, he took a good look at the girl and gasped. "Sweet Mary! She looks just like you." He said, turning to Cameron.

"Mary isn't going to want you once I get though with you Robert!" Cameron said, advancing on him. A small body in front of her abruptly stopped her, when the haze cleared she saw Hannah.

"Mom. He didn't know. It was an honest mistake." Hannah said, trying to placate her mom. "We look like twins, he didn't mean anything by it."

Hannah looked at Chase, who just dumbly nodded. He was still backing up slightly away from Cameron.

Cameron closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She turned and walked to the table and sat down. When she looked up, she looked from Hannah to Chase. Chase still looked like he was about to bolt, while Hannah was pulling a Cameron. Trying to calm everyone down. She would recognize that technique anywhere.

"Now, mother. Why don't you introduce me, instead of trying to kill him?" Hannah said, walking over to her.

Cameron just scuffed and rolled her eyes. "Alright" she said in a dejected voice, like a child who just got in trouble.

"Chase, even though you have already met my daughter," she began.

"Mother." Hannah chided, rolling her eyes and folding her arms in front of her.

"She's yours alright, she can even do that thing that you do when you're aggravated. I thought no one could do that." Chase said, sitting in her chair with a thump. "Unbelievable."

Cameron just looked at Chase and actually felt a little sorry for him. She didn't mean to lose it, she just saw him too close to her. He was too close for comfort. Both were surprised when Cameron bolted up and looked at Hannah.

Chase looked like he was ready to run again when she moved faster than he had even seen her move.

"I yelled at him didn't I?" Cameron said, looking at Hannah with terrified eyes.

"Yeah, you even sent him to the clinic. I hope you never send me to my room like that. I would have nightmares for the rest of my life." Hannah said, telling her mother the truth. She watched as her mom stood in a daze. "This is where you should go down and apologize."

"Right." Allison said, giving her a quick hug before rushing out of the room.

Chase stood watching for a moment, before finding his voice. "Hey! Where's my apology?" He asked looking to Hannah.

"I think you're lucky to be leaving the hospital at all tonight." She said, looking over at him. Chase just watched her go back to her homework before packing up and leaving for the day. He wasn't going to stay around any longer, just in case Cameron came back. There was no telling what would happen once she caught up with House.

"Umm are you going to check my daughter's throat?" The woman asked, pointing to her daughter on the table. Currently, the doctor was sitting in the chair across from them with a game boy in his hands.

"Uh Sure." House said, as he looked up from his screen at the child. "Yeah, it's still there and I'm assuming that it still hurts." After a few minutes, he sighed and began to get up.

"Where are you going?" the mother asked, when she saw him limp to the door.

"Getting cool doctor stuff while you scream at your daughter." House said, not turning to look at her.

"She's sick, why would I yell at her?" The mother asked, looking confused.

"Because she likely has mono, or did you not notice the hickeys on her neck?" House said, pointing his cane at the patient's neck. On the young girls neck were light to dark red blotches. "Unless one of her parent's put those there. Then, that would be a whole new set of papers."

"Hillary Rachel Madison!" The mother screeched as the daughter on the table burst into tears.

At that House closed the door and began to give the chart to the nurse. "Make sure you do a strep and mono test on room 1."

Grabbing another chart, he paused and looked at the nurse. "I would give them a few minutes. Just to be safe."

House opened the door and rolled his eyes. It seemed that the fates had it for him today, another pregnant woman. 'What is it with me and mothers today' House thought to himself shuddering when he remembered the look that Cameron gave him.

The exam went relatively normal for House. He ignored the sobbing, pregnant mother while she talked to him. When he looked over at the door, he saw Cameron come towards the room.

House turned his head quickly and looked at the wall. The patient was staring as the woman came in and talked to the doctor.

"Now, you see" He said to the woman on the table, "This doctor looks normal but she was once like you. Pregnancy made her insane! Then, it made her yell at her crippled boss! " House said pointing at Cameron. "Don't turn out like her please."

Cameron just rolled her eyes and looked at the mother to be. "Don't mind him. He is just hurt that he got yelled at today."

"Am Not."

"Yes, you are, House."

"Well, you should have been in my place. You were scary." House said in a child-like voice. "It was like you were possessed. You had evil beams of fire in your eyes! I swear."

"Look, I didn't come here to argue. I just came to apologize for my behavior. I shouldn't have yelled at you." Cameron said, leaning of the counter.

"God! Why on earth are you apologizing? You should have castrated him! You do this all the time, Cameron!" House yelled, turning from her and limping over to the stool. "Granted, you shouldn't have yelled at me. I'm far too gentle to be yelled at."

"Rrright." Cameron said, rolling her eyes at him.

Both seemed to have ignored the patient, who was watching them intently. It was clearly obvious that they were attracted to each other. They bickered like an old married couple.

Cameron realized that they had an audience and blushed, "I need to go finish my charts."

"Oh please. She is going to have a lot more people staring at her in a place more private than this in a few weeks." House said, pointing at his patient. "No offense."

"None taken." She said, smiling at the doctor for the first time.

"Just the same, I need to go. I am sorry that I snapped at you." Allison said, before leaving the room. "Oh and Congratulations."

House just grunted as he turned towards his patient. She was watching the door that the nice doctor just went through.

"I like her." The patient said, looking over at House, who was now looking through the blinds of the exam room.

"Me too." House said, as he limped over to the stool in front of his patient. "Now, let's see what's wrong with the next crazy mom."

The patient just smirked at him before lying on the table again.

House limped out of the exam room and gave his charts to the nurses. Tired and ready to go home, he limped to the elevator. He pressed the button with his cane and silently prayed that he wouldn't run into any more mothers today.

Instead, he ran into an upset oncologist.

"God, what have I done to deserve this day?" House said, looking up.

"There are so many ways that I could answer that question. I could list a big one today alone." Wilson said, looking at House with his arms crossed.

"Coming in today? Is that the one?" House said, looking over at him with an innocent face.

Wilson just looked over at him with a look that would freeze hell itself. "How about the person in your conference room doing their homework."

"And I thought I hired Chase just for his looks." House replied, limping onto the elevator.

"House."

"What? It wasn't my place to say." House said, looking at him.

"Like that's ever stopped you before. It's like you're in lov…" Wilson began to say before halting and looking over at House. "You're in love with her." He said as House began to walk away.

"Nah, I like them young but that's too young."

Wilson just walked a little faster and came to stop in front of him. "Not her, but her mother."

Wilson just watched House as he tightened his grip on his cane. It was funny, how obvious House was. He was hooked.

"Now, that we have traveled down the path of destruction. Let's just remember that I am not in love with her!" House said one last time, before turning and walking to his office.

The two doctors stopped and looked in the office at the small figure sitting at the table. It would seem that Hannah had finished her homework. She had her legs curled under the table, her arms were folded and her head was resting slightly on her arms and table. Her hair was slightly covering her eyes and face, but the two men could tell that she was asleep.

Even House could say that she was the most adorable sight that he had ever seen. He could only imagine Cameron sleeping like that at night, nestled up against his shoulder. Wilson interrupted his daydream, when he put his hand on his shoulder.

House jolted slightly, which made Wilson laugh. "You're getting worse with lying in your old age." He said, before turning and walking towards his office. "Oh, and I'll be over at your house at 8 tonight."

Wilson smiled and turned to walk to his office. House just looked at him and sighed. This was so not his day.

He was supposed to be getting ready to go home. He was supposed to be playing his game boy or listening to his ipod. He was not supposed to be watching her sleep.

The doctor in him wanted her to get up and lay on his couch, next to his desk. But, it wasn't the doctor in him that wanted to just let her sleep. The same feeling engulfed him before when he saw Chase too close to her.

He looked at her and felt feelings of protection, come from nowhere. 'I'm soo getting soft.' He thought to himself as he moved to shake her shoulder slightly.

Hannah opened her eyes and looked up. Jerking up slightly, she looked at House. "I'm sorry. I just finished my homework and I was tired. I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"Oh please, I was soo hoping that you weren't entirely like your mother. Just shut it and let me continue to believe that you are still cool." House sighed, leaning his chin on his cane.

Hannah rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, while he watched her. "It is a little unnerving to have someone stare at you while trying to wake up."

"Just pretend that I'm not here."

"Rright." Hannah said, rolling her eyes at him.

House just shook his head and chuckled. Looking at her again, he smirked. "I'm going to ask your mom out, again."

"And you want me to talk her out of it. Or is it that you need my permission?" Hannah asked, looking at House with sly eyes.

"Actually, I was wondering if you wanted to go with us?" House asked, looking towards his office.

Hannah just stared at him with her mouth slightly opened. "You want me to go out with you and my mom?" Hannah asked, trying to grasp what he was asking.

"Yep."

"Wow." Hannah said. She was about to come up with a witty retort but when she looked at him, she stopped. The normally composed doctor actually looked nervous. Granted, his face told nothing. But his body language and eyes told her that he was actually nervous. "Sure. I'll come along."

"Right. I'll pick up both up at 6 on Friday." House said, as he limped to his desk and retrieved his bag. As he limped out the door, he turned to her and smirked. "Be sure to pass this on for me, Thanks."

Hannah just nodded and watched him leave. She was sitting in the same spot when Allison came walking through the room getting ready to leave for the night.

Allison, puzzled at her daughter's dazed expression, waved a hand in front of her face. "Are you with me, space cadet?"

"Huh? Oh yeah." Hannah said, shaking her head before getting her bags ready to leave.

"You ok? You seem kind of out of it." Allison asked, waiting for her at the door.

"I may be mistaking but I think we both have dates on Friday."

"What? With who?" Allison asked, as they walked to the elevator.

"House."

Allison looked at her for a minute before laughing. Hannah stood and watched her mother burst into a fit of giggles. She seemed to be laughing so hard that tears could be seen gathering in her eyes. Just when the elevator stopped, she seemed to begin to collect herself.

"I don't think that was the reaction that he was probably looking for, maybe that was why he told me to tell you." Hannah said, looking over at her mother.

Allison just chuckled and smiled, "Probably."

This chapter is dedicated to the memory of Myles Alderman.

He will be missed. Love you Papa.
