A/N: Ok, please do not argue with me on this diagnosis. I know what I'm talking About with it. So please. This diagnosis is very personal to me. Ok, now on to the story.
"There's no way." Chase said. He, Taub and Foreman were sitting in the DDX room waiting for their boss, who was, As usual, late. And, like they have been for the past few weeks, The topic of Discussion currently was What Wilson told them weeks ago about Having Dinner with House and His girlfriend. None of them have been able to believe it. They have been throwing around theories. "Wilson wouldn't lie to us. He definitely did have dinner with House and someone. But he could Have just told her to pretend. Or it was a hooker he paid extra." They couldn't say anymore. House was about to come in.
"30 year old female With numbness and tingling in her limbs. Trouble swallowing, opening her eyes and breathing." Foreman said. as House came in.
"Where are my MRI results?" House asked.
"There was too much swelling and She was having too much trouble breathing to get her into the machine." Taub said. The team noticed a woman walk into house's office. She Noticed House and waved. House waved back. He started to limb towards the door.
"Go put her on Predinzone and get me an MRI." He walked into the office. The woman hugged him and then kissed him. House Walked back to the DDX room. He poked his head in. "I meant now." He said and The team left.
"What are you doing here?" House asked turning back to her and limping back to his desk. "Shouldn't you be teaching delinquents?"
"'Hi Danni, how's your day been?'" Danielle said. "'Hey Greg, My days been good so far, hows yours?' 'Well hun-'"
"Are you always going to be like that?" House said. "If you are, you can just go." Danielle Smirked.
"Well to answer your questions." Danielle said walking over to him. "I was teaching but today was a half day so I figured I would go home and study for a while before my mid-term."
"So why are you here and not home studying?" House asked. Danielle sat down on the edge of his desk facing him.
"Well see," She started. "I did go home to study and someone took my notebook."
"Oh no!" House said sarcastically. "Who would do such a thing?"
"Oh gee," Danielle said. "I don't know." She held her hand out. House sighed.
"You're no fun." House said handing her her notebook back.
"I knew I shouldn't have studied at your house last night." She said tapping her notebook one his head.
"Why?" He said. "I was good. I didn't bother you last night."
"Yes but you stole my notebook this morning." She said. Cuddy Cleared her throat from the door.
"House." She said. Danielle slid off the desk.
"I'm going to go home and Study." She said. She leaned over and kissed him. "Bye." She said leaning over. "Bye Dr. Cuddy." She said as she walked by Cuddy.
"Danielle." Cuddy said giving her a nod as the teacher walked out. "What was she doing here?"
"Blowing me." House said.
"Seriously." Cuddy said.
"I grabbed her notebook this morning by mistake." House said. "What do you want?"
"You owe me clinic duties for today and yesterday." Cuddy said. "So go. Now."
"Yes Mommy." House said. And She watched him leave.
It wasn't until about 5 before House was able to go back upstairs to his office. Every time he tried to get away, Cuddy seemed to be hanging around, keeping an eye on him. Like she was making sure he was doing his hours. He went up to his office, sat down and closed his eyes and held the bridge of his nose. I was only about half a second before Chase knocked on the window to his office from the DDX room. House begrudgingly got up and went in there to look at the results. Just then He noticed Danielle Walk into his office again. House did not feel like walking anymore, not like his leg was going to let him, so he waved for her to come in.
"Now What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Well hello again, what a pleasant surprise to see you.'" Danielle Mimicked again. "That's a greeting." House stared at her. "I'm waiting for my mid-term results. They're going to be e-mailed to me today and I can't sit at home." She noticed the team. "Oh hello, you must be Gregory's team. I'm Danielle." Her eyes drifted over the room but her smile never wavered.
"Danielle," House said. "This is Foreman, Chase, and Taub, otherwise known as the Idiots." House said pointing to each of them with his cane. "Idiots, This is Danielle, my girlfriend that Wilson told you about."
"So Danielle," Chase said, "What do you do?"
"Huh?" Danielle said. She was looking at the white board. "Oh I'm a high school English teacher who's taking college courses on the side for fashion merchandising." She went back to the white board.
"How'd you meet House?" Foreman asked.
"What? Oh he's my neighbor." Danielle shook her head. "I'm sorry is this your patient?"
"Yes." Taub said. Danielle took the MRI results from House and looked at them.
"Have you diagnosed them yet?"
"No." Foreman said. "Why-"
"It's M.S." Danielle Said.
"We've ruled M.S. out." Chase said. "It doesn't explain the all the difficulties with breathing, swallowing and eyes."
"And what Medical degree do you have to suggest that?" Foreman asked.
"Sh-sh-sh!" House chastised. "Let Danielle speak." He turned to Danielle. "What explains what Chase Said?"
"M.G." Danielle said.
"But you said It's M.S." Taub said.
"It's Both." Danielle said matter-of-factly.
"How can it be both?" Foreman asked Crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in his chair. "Your boyfriend doesn't believe in coincidences."
"It's not a coincidence." Danielle said.
"How?" House asked With Curiosity on his Face. Danielle Looked at him. She was sure he already knew how. And He Knew if she was right or not.
"Muscular Gravis is a result of Multiple Sclerosis." Danielle said. "As we Know, M.S. is an autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system, eating away at the milien. And there are four different types. This person has Secondary Progressive or Higher because M.G. isn't triggered by remitting relapsing. Multiple Sclerosis explains the numbness and the tingling in the limbs. The Muscular Gravis explains the trouble Swallowing, Breathing and the eye drooping. Plus," Danielle said lifting up the MRI results to the light. "These Legions were caused by M.S."
"And again I ask," Foreman said. "how do you know all this?"
"My mother Has had M.S. for 20 years, M.G. for the last 5." Danielle said. "I've seen enough of her MRI's and been to enough seminars and doctors appointments to know exactly what I'm looking at. I can recognize M.S. and its symptoms anywhere."
"House?" Foreman asked. Everyone in the room looked over at House. He thought for a second.
"My Girls Right." House said. "Keep her on Predinizone and Start her on Beataserion and see how she reacts to that." He turned to Danielle. "Well done." He said and kissed her on the forehead. She smiled as the team left to take care of their patient. Just then Her phone went off. She looked at it.
"Oh my god!" Greg!" She called. "I aced my midterm!" She said and Hugged House Tight.
