A/N: Sorry it took so long guys. I was really sick then I had finals. So, I'm just now starting to piece my life back together. But I thought of you, and decided you guys needed a reward for sticking with me.

"I don't believe it." Foreman stared at the x-ray with something akin to shocked stupidity. There, sitting in Arana's lungs, were parasites, atleast ten of them.

"What is it?" Cameron asked as House opened the glass door.

"You found a parasite correct?"

"Yeah, but how did you know-"

"How did I know it was there? The patient, Aaron-"

"Arana."

"Yes, Allan," He gave Chase a pointed look for interrupting him. "Is six, and what to six year olds do in lay overs in between planes?" Before anyone could reply, he continued answering his own question, "they get into mischief, they crawl under things, hide in bathrooms."

He wrapped the x-ray with the butt end of his cane and said, "Our girl's got a resdesyn air parasite." Turning back to the group he asked, "Aren't airports filthy?"

Cameron shook her head repeatedly, "She was coughing before she got here, and her mother reported her having a fever."

"She had pneumonia, her tests showed signs of a mild case of it."

"Her lungs were chewed up by the pneumonia, leaving an opening for the parasites to get through her immunol defenses." Foreman tossed his pencil down, finally understanding the big picture.

"That's why she couldn't breathe. That's why..." Cameron stopped eyes widening, "her lungs. She won't be able to breathe if we take out the support from the ventilator."

"She's not going to come out of this unscathed if that's what you mean." House said in his obnoxious fashion, "She won't be a singer like mother dearest, she'll be lucky if she ever breathes on her own again."

He sighed and took a deep breath, heading into his side of the office. "Start her on treatment for the parasite, and explain to mommy the matter with her little star." He pulled back the door, but didn't go in. "Not Chase."

Chase lunged for him in anger, but Cameron held him back as House left into his office and closed the blinds. "Chase, stop!" He held on to his temper, barely. She turned her head to Foreman, never hating House more than this moment, "I'll do it." Foreman seemed like he wanted to protest, but nodded and left out the door.

Cameron lifted her hand to Chase's face. "I'll be gentle with her, I promise." Chase nodded numbly and Cameron left to have her talk with Kaih.

Standing across the hall, Chase and Foreman watched anxiously through the glass windows as Cameron and Kaih talked. The two young women were standing by Arana's bedside watching the small girl sleep, still breathing through the tube that now supported her lungs.

Chase's heart clenched as they watched Kaih fall, her legs given out from the news. Cameron caught her, and set her down in the chair, holding her tightly and murmuring small condolences as the woman cried for her daughter.

"This is how it works." Chase showed Arana how to use her new air pump that connected to the base of her throat.

"Is it always gonna hurt?" Arana asked fearfully, fingering the tube that now replaced her soft skin.

"The pain will eventually go away. Its just a bit tender because it's a new thing." He smiled reassuringly, and took her hand in his, "Just wait till your back home, I hear the boys really go for piercing ."

The six year old blushed hotly and Chase couldn't help but smile, the age of first crushes had already arrived.

Letting go of her hand, he went back to showing her the different functions and sounds the machine made for each separate reasons.

Her car refusing to start had forced a late start, and it was already mid morning by the time she got there. The bed that met Cameron in Arana's room was empty, and the draws containing her things had been emptied. Forgoing the elevator, she sprinted quickly to the office and slammed her hands down on the glass table, "Where is she?" Foreman and House eyed her warily.

"Who?"

"Arana Dawe, our patient." Cameron said as calmly as she could.

House nodded with an "ah", "She left with her mother. They're catching an earlier plane than first thought. Since there was nothing more we could do for them, I gave them the okay to release her."

Turning her back, Cameron once again ran out of the room full speed and burst into the stairwell, taking the stairs two or three at a time in her rush to get to the parking lot. Blasting through the lobby, she practically flew to her car and ripped open the door.

With a great thunder, the car sprung to life and she raced out of the parking lot.

'That bitch! She said Chase was mine!'

-----------&-------------&---------

"So what are you going to do?" Kaih sat forward in her chair, looking at Cameron with all too well knowing smile.

"Do about what?" Cameron trying to act unknowing while attempting a word search as they waited for Arana to wake.

"Oh, right. Now I'm suppose to give up and say, 'nothing.'" If they had been standing, Cameron was sure Kaih would have had her hands on her hips, in the mean time, "I'm talking about a certain Doctor Chase, he's half in love with you, and if I'm not mistaken, you with him."

"Nothing, I don't want anything to do with him. He's my colleague nothing more."

Kaih made a 'mmhm.' sound like she didn't believe it and grinned.

"Well, whatever you don't do with your colleague, give him a message for me okay?" Cameron nodded. Kaih leaned forward in her chair as if to tell a secret, and Cameron helped her by leaning in.

Without warning, Kaih grabbed Cameron's head and crushed her lips to hers. Pulling back, Kaih stood, with the faintest blush on her cheeks. "Can you relay that?" Then without waiting for a reply she stood, "I'm going to grab a cuppa, I'll make sure to grab you one."

Cameron sat there in a stilled shock as Kaih walked away. She had just been kissed by a girl. A lesbian girl. A lesbian girl that apparently liked Chase. On the other hand, Kaih just gave them her blessing to go forth and do, or not do whatever they pleased.

A tiny smile spread across Cameron's face. How could she not do anything? After all, she had to relay that message from Kaih to Chase.

-------&-----------&----------

Parking her car in the fifteen minute parking spaces Cameron flew out of her car, locking it with her automatic button when she was half way across the parking lot. Rushing through the traffic, then through the glass doors of the airport she ran to customer services. "Are there any flights leaving to Australia happening now?"

"Let me check, just a moment ma'am." The woman behind the counter said in a pleasant nasally voice. She typed something into her computer, it beeped and she read off. "The 10:25 flight just left, there is another one at 1:20, would you like me to book you a seat?" Cameron had blocked the woman's voice out after hearing the flight left.

In a silent form of shock, she shook her head, "No, thank you. That won't be necessary." She was about to walk back to her car when an idea struck her, she turned back to the counter, "From what gate did that plane leave?"

"Gate B3."

"Thank you." Cameron took off through the crowded airport trying to reach that terminal. Chase wouldn't leave his job so suddenly, he must have just gone to see them off at the airport. By the end of her sprint, Cameron was panting and she had to put her hands on her knees to catch her breath.

Looking up, she checked the area surrounding her desired terminal, it was empty. Grabbing her cell phone, Cameron called Foreman. "Has Chase come back to the hospital yet?"

Foreman took a moment to answer, "No, he went to Australia with the Dawe family." Cameron ignored him for a few moments afterwards. Her heart was shattered, in inconceivable amounts of pain, she turned and headed back towards the parking lot.

"Thanks Foreman, I'll be back soon."

A/N: So that's the last chapter guys! The Epilogue will be out soon though. Thanks for reading and reviewing, I had a lot of fun with this story.
