1By the next day, Cuddy had talked to Kayla's aunt, who was shockingly uncaring, over the phone, and had gotten permission to do anything Kayla wanted. Upon receiving this news, House thanked Cuddy, to her surprise, and then headed towards his office to tell his team. Walking into the differential room he announced with absolutely no preamble, " Get a surgeon."
" So I'm assuming Kayla agreed to treatment." Said Cameron slowly.
" Yeah, but which one?" Inquired Chase.
House took a deep breath, "Okay, let me clarify. Get a surgeon who won't screw up a muscle removal, and then meet me back here."
"Wouldn't an amputation be safer..." Started Foreman, but House interrupted.
" Yeah, it would, but this girl wants to keep her leg! Or do you want to put her in a coma and then go against her wishes!" 'Like they did to me,' he added to himself.
Not one of his ducklings had a response to that.
"What are you waiting for? GO!" Snapped House. Jumping slightly, all three of them scampered out, ignoring the fact that only one of them would be needed to acquire a surgeon.
" How soon do you need the surgery done?" Asked Dr. Jenkins, rubbing a hand over his forehead.
Chase, Foreman, and Cameron glanced at each other quickly.
" As soon as possible," Responded Cameron.
" Okay," agreed the surgeon, "but if House is going to be there, he better not criticize my every move." Jenkins new how personal this was to House, but he didn't need it affecting the poor girls surgery. "Have her prepped in a half hour."
They smiled their thanks and left to go back to House.
"Well?" asked House, watching his team walk into his office, he put down his Nintendo DS and turned to face them fully.
" Go tell Kayla she has surgery in a half hour." Said Chase. House allowed a brief smile to creep up onto his face, but before they had a chance to notice it, it was gone. He nodded to Chase and left the office without a word, heading in the direction of Kayla's room.
A/N : Sorry this chapter's so short, but it seemed like a good place to leave it for now. Also, sorry about the delay, but I've been busy. Plus, school just started.
