A/N: Please Please Please don't hate me but I screwed up and had to change the main character's name so, so, so sorry.
One Year Prior:
That night, as Andy settled into her new apartment, there was a soft knock on the door. Thinking it was Rob, Andy padded across the wooden floors in just a long t-shirt. Her bare feet glided across the smooth polish until she opened up the door to find a very confused Dr. Gregory House standing before her. With a small shout, she ran to her bedroom and threw on a pair of mismatched pajama bottoms.
"God damn it Greg! What the hell are you doing here?" Andy asked angrily when she realized House had crossed over her threshold and into her home.
"Well, since you didn't invite me in, I figured I'd follow you and your refusal to wear pants. Nice ass by the way." House replied.
"You're an asshole House. Get out." Andy retorted with venom.
"Look, really, let's talk." House softened.
"Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. My. Apartment." Andy screamed vehemently. House refused. "Greg, please just leave. You didn't talk to Stacey when she came back, so don't come talking to me. Please. I don't want to have to listen to you. In fact unless we're interacting at the hospital I'd really enjoy never having to talk to you. Please Greg, just leave me alone."
"For tonight…" House whispered as he wandered out of Andy's apartment.
"Honey, I'm home… did House just walk out your front door?" Dr. Robert Chase walked in carrying a bag of take-out and a full bottle of wine.
"Yeah. Rob, how am I going to do this? That man is never going to let me forget my past." Andy asked as Chase wrapped his arms around her.
"It's House, babe, he does what he wants when he wants with no regard to how anyone else is feeling." Chase led Andy to her couch. There she sat, her head buried in his chest his arms wrapped around her like the stronghold he was for her. "Come on let's eat."
After the bottle had been finished, Andy's tee shirt and shorts were laying somewhere on the floor in the living room, Chase's jeans and button down shirt were lining the hallway from the living room to Andy's bedroom and Andy's thong ended up somewhere between the door and the bed while her bra lay in a tangled heap on the floor next to the bed. Chase's boxers had only made it halfway into between the thong and the bed. Chase would wake up with light scratches on his back, and Andy might be sore in the morning, but there was something beautiful between them.
When Andy woke up the next morning and scrambled to find something to wear, she settled on a clean pair of underwear and bra, a pair of her stylish work jeans and a pair of heels paired with a light blue button down shirt of Chase's over a fitted black tank-top. She stood in her kitchen flipping pancakes when Chase groggily walked in. His hands wrapped around her waist as he kissed her cheek.
"Morning gorgeous." Chase whispered in her ear.
"I bet you say that to all the girls who cook you breakfast." Andy replied as she flipped the pancakes on the frying pan.
"Just the ones wearing crazy old rocks." Chase retorted trying to understand why Andy wasn't flipping out quite yet.
"What are you talking about Robert?" Andy asked completely unaware of what was occurring on her left hand.
"God are you really so oblivious to the world?" Chase asked laughing.
"What?" Andy asked confused. She looked around the kitchen before coming to rest on the hand that held the spatula. "Oh my God"
Chase knelt down on one knee. "Andy Wilson. I love you. You have been the love of my life for 5 years now and there's nothing I want more in this world than to be with you forever. Please, Andy marry me."
"Of course Rob!" Excitedly Andy leapt into his arms.
Chase's beeper began going off at that exact second, and Andy's cell phone began to ring. They looked at each other and shrugged, unwrapped from each other's arms and found their way to their respective cellular devices. Walking back into the kitchen not two minutes later, Chase grabbed his car keys and Andy grabbed her briefcase. Climbing into the passenger seat of Chase's BMW, Andy kissed Chase lightly.
"I love you." Andy said as she turned the radio on.
"I love you too Andy." Chase settled in as they drove over to the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
