A/N: Ok so again there are a few things in here that are personal. And this is the longest chapter. So I hope you enjoy!
Danielle awoke the next morning and found House wasn't next to her. She then noticed the smell of something cooking. She smiled. She loved it when She woke to food. It showed her That House really did care. He could be a bit gruff, and she was sure that showing affection was hard for him after how he had been burned. She slipped out of bed and came into the kitchen. The table was already all set and waiting for her. She kept smiling as she slipped into the seat.
"You have great timing." House said before he turned around. Even though she had been virtually silent, He was very in tuned to everything around him.
"You know I love it when I wake up and you have breakfast ready. It's so cute." Danielle said kissing his cheek. "I'm sorry about last night. I just wanted to go to sleep."
"If you gave me more notice, I would have helped." Danielle gave him a smirk.
"Your 'House' charm wouldn't have helped." Danielle said taking a big bite of Pancakes. "Besides they said they loved my work, it was just the fact i was still in school that kept me from being a finalist and on the show. And I totally understand. Honestly, I'm just honored they looked at my work."
"Oh Well I guess you don't need this." House said holding up and envelope.
"Gimme!" Danielle said snatching the envelope out of his hand. She opened it. "AAH!" She squeaked and Hugged House. She dropped the tickets to the Met on the table.
Chase woke up to a cat's butt in his face. He threw her off of him.
"What the Hell?" He said. Zoey stared at him.
"Why'd you throw Cote?" She said. "Cote. Come here baby girl." The cat climbed onto her lap and made herself comfy. Cote began to pur.
"She had her butt in my face." Chase said.
"That's just her way of getting to know you." Zoey said. "Kinda like we were last night, just not the same way." Zoey winked. Chase looked at the clock.
"I'm late for work."
"Dr. House Isn't going to be in." Zoey said. "Knowing Dani, She convinced him to spend the day in New York."
"And Knowing House, He's using Wilson's Credit card." Zoey laughed.
"And I already called into my boss and told him I got food poisoning So you should too. But obviously you can't call Dr. House." Chase thought for a second. She picked up his phone.
"Hey Foreman." he said. Zoey leaned against him, loving his Aussie accent. "I got food poisoning from last night So I can't Come in. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." He hung up, Not letting Foreman talk at all. Zoey hugged him.
"So now we got all day with each other." She said.
"I'll Be right back." Chase said getting up an going to the adjoining bathroom.
"Mmm." Zoey said. "You got a nice butt."
It was getting close to lunch time. Wilson was trying to figure out what to do. He knew that his food wasn't going to get taken because House was in New York. But then he didn't know what he was going to do. Just then there was a knock on his door.
"Come in." A Woman came in. She was on the short side and had short brown hair with the bottom dyed blonde. She looked familiar.
"Hi, Dr. Wilson?" She said.
"Yes?" He said. "Can I help you?"
"I'm Keesh I was here yesterday." She said sitting down. "I know Dr. House is your Best friend and since he's in New York with Dani and Zoey has food poisoning I wanted to know if you wanted to have lunch, if you don't already have plans."
"no I don't have plans." Wilson said. "Were do you want to go?"
"We can go to my restaurant if you want."
"Sure. I hadn't any clue what to do anyways." Wilson said getting up and grabbing his coat.
Cuddy walked into the DDX room. After Chase had left they called house and figured out what was wrong with the patient Foreman had just gotten off the phone with Chase.
"Where's Chase?" Cuddy asked.
"He's got 'food positioning'." Foreman said.
"Why the air quotes?" Cuddy asked.
"He's probably home with the girl he went out with last night." Taub said.
"Great." Cuddy said. "House Is in New York, Chase is sick. Here," She handed them a file. "Consult Wilson."
"He Just left for lunch." Foreman said.
"Really?" She said. She rubbed her temples. "then go work in the Clinic." She said shaking her head.
Wilson sat with Keesh at her restaurant.
"This is a nice place."He said.
"Thanks," She said.
"So how long have you known Danielle?"
"Uhm Ever since the 4th grade. WE were always friends then she was all into this guy and we stopped talking for two years."
"Really?"
"Yeah, i went through why cancer without her, and she always feels bad, even though I tell her not too. She makes sure to do something special on my anniversary."
"You had cancer?" Wilson asked cautiously.
"Yeah Ovarian. When they originally biopsied it, they thought it was stage 4 after they removed they said it was only stage 1." She shrugged. "I've been Cancer free for years now. So what do you do at the Hospital?" She said.
"I'm an Oncologist." He said.
"Really? That's ironic." Keesh said.
"What do you do here?" Wilson said as they ate dessert. "This cake is delicious."
"I'm the head baker here." Keesh said. "I made the cake you're eating." Wilson's pager went off.
"I'm sorry, I gotta go but I would love to do this again." He got up. "Any time soon?"
"Whenever." Keesh said getting up. They shook hands and parted.
Zoey curled up next to Chase on her couch. She rubbed his chest. He was only wearing jeans since she stole his shirt.
"Rob,"She said.
"Yes?" Chase looked down at her.
"I love hearing you talk. Your accent is sexy. You're perfect." She snuggled into him.
"No I'm not." He said "Everyone at work refers to me as the pretty boy. I you ask anyone, they will tell you I hook up with random girls. I'm divorced and the reason She left me was I-" Chase hesitated. "I killed a man. Dibala, the brutal African Dictator."
"You did that?" Zoey said remembering the News. Chase Nodded.
"Why would some one leave you to deal with that on your own?"
"It was because I wouldn't leave House's team. And she wanted me to."
"I would never leave you alone to deal with that." Zoey said putting her arms around him.
"Zoey, you're the one who's perfect."
"No I'm not." Zoey said sitting up. "I'm a faithful person I'm just super flirty. So it would get me into trouble with my ex. I left with my family and moved back home to Chile and he left me while he was here and I was there."
"How'd you get back here?"
"Dani and Keesh set up a fund and brought me back. And I'm glad I came back." She sat for a second. "You're not a bad person Rob."
"Neither are you Zoe." Chase said. He kissed her.
"I don't want to be a random hook up."
"Don't worry. You wont be." Chase said. And She kissed him again.
"So how'd you meet Keesh and Zoey?" House asked
"Keesh i have known for forever." Danielle said as they walked home, On House's insistence. "We met in the 4th grade. I was sitting under the rock climbing mountain on the playground. She asked if she can sit and read. I was reading there so I said fine. She sat down and started reading her book. We were reading the same book and we had been friends ever since. She was the New girl then." Danielle smiled. "And Zoey, I transferred schools in the middle of 4th grade and the two elementary schools where I grew up went to one middle School. We met because of this kid. And we got along. One time this kid tried to prank me by taking my flavored water bottle an shaking it up. but i couldn't open it so he took it to open it and it splashed all over him." Danielle laughed. "So what about you and Wilson?"
"I Met him a convention and he got drunk, threw a bottle, And got arrested. I bailed him out because i thought he was interesting." They wen up to their room.
"Your story was a lot shorter than mine." Danielle said. He opened the door to their room. "Thanks again Greg for the wonderful night." They had got to the Met after lunch then he took her to dinner. Once He closed the door behind them, She kissed him, hard. He returned the kiss and started undoing her blouse. She took the cane from him. "Lean on me." She said between kisses. She took his shirt off and dropped it onto the kitchen table. Slowly they left a trail of close until they got to the bedroom. House pushed her down and they made passionate love. Afterwards, She lay with her head on his chest. He made her feel safe. She was falling asleep. He had his arm around her and rubbing her back. She sighed contently.
"Oh Greg, I love you." She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. House stayed up for a while longer, Danielle's words going over in her head.
