Disclaimer: I do not own House M.D.

Coupling: Cuddy/Wilson, Chase/Cameron

"And, where exactly is Chase?" House was not pleased. It was okay for him to be late, but Chase was overstepping his boundaries. Stupid wombat.

Cameron was fixing herself some coffee while Foreman was looking over case reports.

"Who knows, maybe he slept in or something." Cameron said going over to the glass table and sitting down.

"Yeah, slept in with that woman." Foreman snorted at House's comment.

"Do you really think he's with her?" Cameron asked.

"What do you think? He took them home with him. They're both from Australia and-" Chase stepped through the glass door and into the office. His clothing was mussed and mismatched.

"What, you couldn't find a more clashing outfit?" House sneered as he glanced over at Chase. "She must have given you a rough time for leaving this morning. Everything's a mess."

He pushed on his cane and stood, hobbling over to Chase he got close to the other man's face. "There's bags under your eyes, have a long night Brit?"

Chase sighed, tempted to loose his temper but reigned in. Going over to the miniature kitchen, he fixed himself a cup of coffee.

"Come on Chasey boy. Spill the goods, how good was mama Aussie in bed." Chase sat down and glared at him something vicious.

"For your information House. I spent the entire night in the emergency room with that Aussie mum."House not one to back off even when all things point straight to getting the crap beat out of him felt the need to continue.

"What'd' the brat do? Hit her head on something while you two were getting it on in the bedroom?"

"Cardiac arrest."

"How old is she?" Cameron asked concerned.

"Six." This piqued House's interest.

"Her symptoms yesterday were," He opened a pen and stood to write at the board. "Cough,-"

"Liquid in lungs, and she started coughing up phlegm."

"And cardiac arrest. Well come on kiddies, tell daddy your thoughts." House stood pen poised.

"It could be pneumonia." Foreman suggested.

"But she doesn't have a temperature."Cameron vetoed.

The argument continued until finally House intervened.

"Get her checked for pneumonia, I was blood and toxin tests, a MRI and a C-T scan." The other's nodded and stood.

"Chase." House called out as the other's were leaving. He turned with a sigh and stood waiting for House to say something.

"You're off the case."

"What?" Chase exclaimed in pure shock. "Kaih will kill me. Arana's her life!"

"Exactly why I'm taking you off. You're too personally involved to make good judgements. Now, get out of here. Go do some clinic duty or go home."

House left him there, hobbling off leaving Chase to stare at his back incredulously. "You stupid bastard." He said angrily at House's back even though the man was gone.

He slammed the door open and repeated the motion in shutting it. He was not leaving, and he was not off this case!

"Where's Kaih?" Cameron didn't look up from drawing Arana's blood. "We felt it was better for her not to be here, she's off getting coffee with Foreman."

"Robbie." Arana looked up at him eyes wide, completely terrified with what was happening. Chase sighed, he'd have to wait to find Kaih. Walking over to the opposite side of the bed, he hitched up his pant legs and sat down.

"Hey Ara' how you feeling today?" He reached up and ran his hand through her hair, "You gave your mum and me quite a scare this morning." She looked away.

"I'm sorry."

"Its alright, you're all better so we're both happy.

"Really?"

"I speak the good acid. Cross my heart and hope to die." Chase said dramatically. She giggled slightly, and Cameron watched them out of the corner of her eyes, interested.

She coughed again as Cameron was putting a bandage on her arm. "Alright girlie," Chase said pouring her a glass of water. "Sit up and have some Adam's ale."

Her coughing was getting rougher, but she nodded and sat up to take a sip. Immediately she threw up all over the bed. Blood covered the spread, but the small girl couldn't stop.

Chase called out for help as Cameron tried to get a rapidly fading Arana stable. Kaih came running into the room along with all the nurses. "Arana!" She cried looking at all the blood and tried to go to her child.

Foreman blocked her way and they continued to struggle while the other doctors and nurses worked. "Chase! Get her out of here." Chase, covered in Arana's blood, looked back and forth between Kaih and Arana

"Chase!" Shaking out of his stupor he nodded and ran for Kaih. Chase exchanged places with Foreman, and Foreman sprung into the fray as Chase pulled the screaming mother out.

"Robbie! You let me in there! Arana! Arana!" Kaih called helplessly from outside the room as Chase held her tightly to him. The woman flailed and ended up getting Chase good in the chin with a fly away punch. Her protests and fighting grew weaker until she finally slumped against him, breathing heavily.

"Kaih, listen to me. They'll do all they can, but for now its best if we wait out here." She didn't respond. "Kaih?" He turned her around to look at him, but she had a far away expression on her face.

Thinking fast he set her down on the ground and tried calling again to her. After a couple of moments, she moved. First she haphazardly swung her arms up above her head, and bent her knees upwards.

Kaih knew what to do, so that meant this was something she lived with. Chase went for her purse and opened it. Inside was a bottle of fitness water and some pills.

Reading the directions, he opened the pills and took out one. Lifting her head up onto his lap, he quickly reaching and opened the water. Putting the pill to her lips she swallowed on command, then gulped down the water he held to her lips.

He'd had to do this before he remembered now. She was hypoglycemic, that was when the body doesn't make enough natural sugar. In her it caused massive vertigo and syncope, fainting spells.

She shifted in his arms and blinked. "I hate this. Its frustrating."

Chase nodded, "I know."

"Doctor Chase, what's happened here?" Chase looked up into Cuddy's concerned face.

"Hypoglycemia." She nodded at the explanations and watched as Chase helped the woman off the floor. "She's the mother of our newest patient. Kaih Dawe, I'd like you to meet the head of the hospital, Lisa Cuddy." They shook hands briefly. Cuddy opened her mouth to ask a question when Foreman interrupted them.

"Mrs. Dawe you can see you daughter now." Kaih nodded frantically and went sprinting towards the room.
