A/N: Sorry about the long time to update, I'm really sick, so getting to the computer is difficult. But your reviews have pushed me forth to continue writing! Lol. Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Pairings: Chase/Cameron, Wilson/Cuddy

Disclaimer: I do not own House M.D.


"So, who's the fella? Come on, you can tell, I won't. I love knowing all the goss." Kaih leaned back in her seat munching on her fruit squishes and sipping a cuppa.

"There's really no guy problem." Kaih nodded while popping another in her mouth and humming thoughtfully.

"Say what you wish, I'm trying to be friendly." A silence fell onto the table like stones, and Cameron sipped her cup of coffee trying to figure out her feelings for the young mother.

"The Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne."

"What?" Cameron looked up startled from her own thoughts.

Kaih put down her cup, and replied, "That's where I met Robbo for the first time. I mean, really met him. We lived in the same dorm and all, but I never talked to him." Cameron nodded trying not to seem interested.

"His girlfriend of the time had dragged him to the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. My parents came all the way to Melbourne from Brisbane, in Queensland to see it, so I said I would go with them, then give a city tour." Kaih grinned slightly, "We both managed to sneak away into the gardens and we hid out there for a while. Glued tight ever since."

Cameron nodded trying not to seem interested. "I'm glad its him that's here, you know. If anyone can help my girl, its him."

Cameron looked at Kaih out of the corner of her eye. This was the kind of moment she would have only once, she should try to take advantage of that.

"Chase said something odd the other day." Kaih tilted her head in question, "He said that he always thought that you were. That you were-"

"A lessie?" Cameron blushed prettily and nodded. Kaih sat back with a tiny bark of a laugh.

"Lessie I am, for the most part. I like to part the seas every once in the while, but I always go back to my woman."

"If you're a lesbian how did you.."

"Become pregnant?" Kaih sighed slightly and took a soothing sip of her drink. "That's a hard question. He was drunk, he wouldn't have had sex with me if he wasn't. He was just so pretty, I needed to have him to myself, even if it was just once."

"Does he know about Arana?" Kaih shook her head.

"I don't think he'd like the idea much. If I told him now, it would be like throwing the baby out with the bath water, I'd loose him completely." Cameron nodded slightly, not really understanding.

"We're here to talk about your man problems though." Kaih smirked. "Is this about the lovely Doctor Robbo Chase?" Cameron's face bloomed into a pretty cherry. "Got it in one, Kaih I do congratulate you." Kaih pretended to pat herself on the back. "So, what's the problem, is he being an insensitive male?"

"No, he-" Cameron's beeper went off, she stood while checking it. "You might want to come, its about Arana." Cameron didn't wait for a reply as she sprinted off in the direction of the critical care units.

Kaih took a shaky breath and popped another fruit snack into her mouth. If she went now, she wouldn't be able to make responsible decisions for her daughter, she needed to distance herself to keep Arana safe.


"I'm doing it, there's no more time!" Chase pushed down and pulled the scalpel along Arana's neck, breaking through, he quickly grabbed the tube and sealed before Foreman attached the air pump and started to manually pump air into Arana's lungs. Everyone held their breath and watched the monitors waiting for everything to stable out.

"Her B.P. is still dropping." Cameron said looking at the falling numbers, a smell reached her nose, and Cameron reached over and whipped back the covers. The inside of Arana's thighs and the bed was covered in a brown-red substance. "We've got anal bleeding, we need to get her into surgery!"


Kaih sipped her coffee and had her knees held up to her chest as a sign of comfort. Looking outside, she desperately tried to immerse herself in the outdoors. Strong arms encircled her from behind. "How's my baby?" Her voice was quiet and it cracked slightly.

"She had some internal bleeding, but we managed to stem the blood flow and she should be fine." Chase sat down close to her on the couch and forced Kaih's body back into his.

"What does she have Rob? What's the matter with my baby?" Kaih turned around to look at him, eyes wet and worried.

"Well, before this happened, we thought she had ARDS, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. But now we're not so sure." Kaih's resolve broke and she cried hard into Chase's chest. Chase held her close and rocked her softly back and forth. "Shh, its going to be alright, if she's anything like her mother, she'll pull through this."

"And, her father. If she's anything like him." Kaih tilted her head up, "He's the best man in the world."

"If he was the best, then he wouldn't have left you-"

"He doesn't know she exists." Chase stopped.

"Why didn't you tell him?"

"Because, he was drunk. He never wanted me, he just wanted a good lay. I was just conveniently there. I just wanted a little piece of him." Chase looked down at the top of Kaih's head how had he not noticed she was pining over a guy? Was he really that oblivious a friend? There had been lots of drunken parties at their apartment, and any one time could have gotten her pregnant. "Please, save Arana. She's all I have." Chase shook his head and pulled her closer.

"She isn't all you have, but I will save her."

"Any ideas on what could cause internal bleeding?" House slammed the table lightly with his cane, "Come on people! Wake up, dying girl remember?"

Chase sat forward letting his bitten pencil fall into his grasp. "She didn't have the internal bleeding until we put her on steroids."

"But she got better before the bleeding, I saw her eating and smiling right before her throat closed." Foreman said unfolding his hands and placing them on the table.

"What was she eating?" House asked.

Foreman sighed aggressively, "A carrot."

"Cooked or raw?"

"Raw, it was one of those baby carrots and ranch dip, why?" Foreman asked curiously.

"Did she choke on the carrot?" House asked condescendingly.

"No, it was a full five minutes after her last carrot before she stopped breathing." House sighed and sat down in one of the chairs, tapping the end of his cane on the floor in no particular pattern.

"She's from Australia."

"And?" Chase asked, a slight sound of defense in his voice.

"And this was her first time coming to America."

"You think that something she ingested here did this?" Cameron asked in a 'are you joking?' tone. "She started having this cough before she came here." House's eyes seemed to light up, and he lifted his head from its position atop his cane.

"Go forth and MRI her head. And then X-Ray her lungs."
