Disclaimer: I do not own House M.D. in anyway.

A/N: Please R/R! I know people are reading this, duh. Its in the stats. But my spirits are dwindling because I'm not getting any reviews. Whether you think like this or not. I don't read a story that doesn't have any reviews by the second chapter. It's just a thing. If there's no reviews, no one liked it enough to review. I guess its a good read. Right? Well, yeah. Enjoy, cheers.

iBless!

"What, is this?" House poked the sleeping girl with his cane as Cameron and Foreman watched him, just as perplexed. "I told Chase to treat her not drop her off in my office and go shagging off with her mother."

Foreman snorted under his breath as Cameron frowned. House poked her again none to gently.

"Girl. Get up, this is not nappy, nappy time." She shifted away from him and continued to sleep, a wet cough erupting from her form every once in a while.

He sighed languidly and sat down with a dejected form of grace that was his alone. "Wombat boy is going to get an earful when he gets back."

It was just that moment when Chase and a woman opened the door and walked in. She was pretty enough, petite form crazy hair, she barely reached Chase's collar bone. Feeling House's glare Chase set to the task of waking Arana.

"Arana, come on. Up like a good girl and Robbie will buy you an fudgy." She moaned and shifted away from her. He looked at Kaih helplessly, she just grinned. "Sleeps like her mother does she?"

He nearly kicked himself for saying that. House was going to have a field day now. He could already hear the mockeries. Giving up all hope, he scooped up the girl and held her to him as he turned to the group of onlookers. "I'm going to take Ms. Dawe and her daughter home-"

"To your house? Oh, goody. Will there be a video?"

"Only if you like watching it rough." Kaih's condescending tone made Chase's eyes close firmly and a hope for a crevasse to open up and swallow him.

"Why, yes I do. Thanks for that wonderful option."

Chase sighed and started to steer Kaih out of the room before she continued to put her foot in her mouth. And she had always insisted she was the cool head out of the two of them!

"I'll be back in the morning. See you all then." It was his check out time anyway, going out at six and be home in time for a good book and some well needed no House hours. They waved their goodbyes as he continued to usher her down the hall and into the elevator.

"What's his problem?"

"He's a misery-guts. Total Scrooge." She nodded with a slight 'ah' sound. "Where are you staying?"

"I booked a small hotel room when I figured we were going to be spending the night. You really don't have to take us there, I can find my way to a taxi rank on my own. I'm a big girl, I tie my own shoes and all." He shook his head.

"I have a car, and she," he indicated to Arana, "Won't let go of me for her life." She nodded reluctantly having been a frequent victim of the girl's grip.

When they got to the lobby Chase nodded to Cuddy, who had taken to staring at him as if he had a second head, and walked out.

"So, you'll come in tomorrow morning for her x-rays?" Chase asked while trying to dislodge the small girl's fingers from his coat after he'd placed her down on the bed.

"Yes, we'll be there." Kaih shook her head grinning, and went over to help him. In practiced movements she quickly rectified the problem and Chase was able to stand unhindered.

"You were always able to get her off of me, weren't you?" Chase asked staring at her.

"Yeah, but then where would the fun be if I couldn't watch you struggle?" Chase sighed, she wasn't telling the whole truth but he didn't mind so much. They hugged at the door.

"I've missed you. Its been hard and at times I wish I had told you." The words were muffled as her face was buried in his chest, but the message rang through.

He hugged her back just as tightly, "I know. I wish you had told me. I would have loved to see my favorite chodder's girl grow up."

"You're my best mate too." They stepped back. "See you."

"See you." He left and she closed the door.

"There's fluid and pressure in the lungs we have to release."

"She's not breathing!"

There was a flurry of motion as of three in the morning at Princeton and Plainsboro Teaching Hospital's ER.

Kaih had been pushed out of the way in order to save her daughter's life. She stood now in the waiting room outside of the ER waiting for something. A sign, a miracle. Something that would tell her, her daughter was going to be okay.

She had called Robbie, just for the sheer fact that she needed someone. No one had picked up, not that she had really expected him to. It's three in the morning for all's wells sake!

Her head felt dizzy and she took out her medication and a bottle of fitness water. Uncorking the bottle and banging a pill back with a gulp of the water, she sat and continued to drink. Times of no sleep and stress often aggravated her condition. It was simple, non life threatening and all it took to fix it was some added sugar and other supplements to her system to fix her up.

Closing the bottle, she let out a shaky sigh and placed it back in her purse. Picking up her hands, a tear slipped down and she brought her hands up to catch it. She stared at the little droplet become miss shaped in her palms. Another tear came and she finally brought her hands up to cover her face, and sobbed.

Minutes passed, but she hardly noticed until two strong arms encircled her shoulders. Not particularly caring about who it was, she held onto them and let them pull her close as her body shook with heavy breaths and heart wrenching sobs.

A hand stroked her hair, but the person stayed silent. She was grateful, if anyone had tried to tell her to stop crying she would have boxed them one for their lives. "Kaih. Shush. It'll be okay. The doctor's are doing everything that they can." She shook her head.

"I'm a horrible mother. I should have taken her to the doctors the second the cough got constant. But no, I was too focused on my student and preparations for this big trip and tying up all those loose ends. This is her first trip outside the borders, and she's going to die here." Planting his chin in her hair, Chase shook his head.

"You were distracted and couldn't have known. Come on, why don't we go back to my flat, get you a nice shower and-"

"No! I'm staying here until I know Arana's going to be okay." He sighed and continued to rock her gently.

"Then why don't you get some sleep, okay?" He shushed her when she tried to protest. "You're exhausted and Arana will need you to be strong for her. Alright?" She sniffled and hiccuped, but nodded all the same.

He pushed her downwards until her head was resting on her lap and the rest of her was curled up on the seats. Now he knew why the seats there were so plush and comfy. They needed to be, so weary parents could rest. A nurse came over and offered a blanket which he took gratefully and spread over her.

Leaning his head back against the edge of the couch, he ran his hands through her disarrayed hair, and slowly fell asleep as well.

Arana was moved to a critical care unit, but the nurses never woke up the sleeping couple. When asked why, they explained the mother was in hysterics, and had taken her husband almost a good half hour to calm her. They would let them sleep a little more, because they knew neither were going to get much sleep in the upcoming weeks.
