"How are you holding up, Kris." Dr. Cuddy entered Kris' room and took a seat by her bedside, a clipboard in hand.

"I'm okay." A fake smile found its way across her face as she sat up against the soft white pillows.

"Then why'd you do it?"

Kris fiddled with the IV on her arm before letting out a small sigh. "It was an accident."

"And how did this 'accident' happen?" Cuddy couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Kris' pathetic excuse before continuing. "You have to talk to me, Kris. You can't just keep on going on this way."

"I don't want to talk about it…"

"At least tell me why you've dropped more than 10 pounds in a month and are now at a malnourished weight of a 105when you're 5'5."

"I haven't been hungry and I've been busy with work."

"Then you better start gaining because you're not going to be attending work until I deem you fit."

"What! You can't be serious!" Anger immediately flashed in Kris' eyes as she clenched her fists. "My patients need me, Lisa!"

"Chase needs you! He's your fiancé and it's killing him that you won't let him help you! If you don't feel the need to get better then at least do it for Robert. He loves you, Kristianne… don't let him down." With that said Cuddy stalked out of the room only to bump into House. "Play nice, House."

"Don't I always?" House then entered Kris' room, plopping onto the chair that Cuddy had sat on. "Hello, Mrs. Chase. Nice to see you again, and under such wonderful circumstances too."

"What do you want, House…" Kris no longer bothered to place her façade back on as she let out a tired sigh.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing to Chase?"

"Lisa gave me a faint idea…"

"What is wrong with you! You're a damn shrink, shouldn't you see the signs! Oh wait… you're too damn selfish to notice."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's depressed again, Kris… and he won't take his happy pills because he refuses to accept the fact that you're no longer his cure."

"Has he been secluding himself?" Kris immediately snapped into her Psychiatrist sub-conscious.

"For two weeks."

"Why am I even listening to you?"

"Because you love him and you'll do whatever it takes to help him even if that means associating with a grumpy yet dashing man such as myself."

Kris sat in silence for a few minutes before looking up to meet House's gaze. "I need you to write me a prescription of Effexor and Prozac…"

"Chase doesn't take Effexor."

"They're not for him…"

"Here my little wombat, baby. Come to daddy. I promise I won't hurt you." House whistled as if calling a pet as he walked through the hospital halls. "Ah! There you are! You had daddy worried!" He entered the conference room, causing Chase to roll his eyes before taking a sip from his coffee.

"What do you want now." The tired looking Aussie put down his finished cup of coffee and sat back down in front of his Australian crossword.

"I brought you a little gift from you fiancé." House held up the bottle of Prozac, a sadistic grin upon his face.

"Leave me alone, House. I told you. I don't need those pills. I'm perfectly fine."

"Didn't you enter the seminary?"

"Your point is?"

"Good little Catholics shouldn't lie."

"I'm not lying!"

"Why so defensive? Tell me… how many times have you gone out, cracked jokes or made sarcastic comments since Kris' mom died? I know you've had the nightmares about your mother again. I know the look and you've certainly had it on your face for the past few weeks."

"I'm flattered. The great heartless Dr. House actually took some time to analyze his inferiors thus wasting precious time which could have been spent on himself."

House flinched at his wombat's harsh words. They had certainly struck home but he refused to let it distract him from his main purpose. "I actually just don't want to go through the pain of finding a new fellow. Look… if you won't do this for yourself then at least do it for Kris."

"I can do it on my own, thanks." With that said, Chase strode out of the room, his fists clenched tightly.
