A/N: Sorry it took so long with work, Sandy and the Nor'easter. getting on was impossible. Hope you enjoy.

Danielle awoke the next morning. Her arm was throbbing. She tentatively lifted it above her head. She flexed it. She was able to move it with little pain. And she was happy that she still had movement. That was her dominate hand. Just then a woman in a black skirt suit came in. Danielle smiled.

"Joanna." She said to her friend. "Got a client today?" Joanna was a Mortician. She came over and hugged Danielle.

"Yeah." Joanna said. "In about an hour but I figured I would come by and say hi and see how you were doing. Keesh and Zoey told me what happened."

"I'm doing better." Danielle said. "I can move my arm now a bit." Just then Cuddy walked in.

"Have you seen House?" She asked danielle. Danielle gave a tight smile and Joanna could see she was pissed.

"Hello Doctor Cuddy." Danielle said, trying to keep the anger out of her voice. "No I haven't seen Greg. But I will tell him you're looking for him when I see him."

"Thank you." Cuddy said. She turned to leave. Then Said. "Danielle, I do hope you're not leading him on."

"Excuse me?" Danielle said. She was offended. It seem like she even forgot that Joanna was even there. The anger was starting to spill out. "Are you suggesting my affection for Doctor Gregory House insincere?"

"I' Just simply stating he's been hurt enough and can't take it-"

"Uhm you are implying that I do not really and genuinely care for Gregory. And that's very- pretentious- of you. After what you have done to him. You have no right to come in here and preach to me about not hurting him. Dr. Cuddy, he was in love with you didn't want to try. I understand that you have a daughter and his addiction wasn't a good influence. But he was clean for you, willing to make an effort. So he can have a life with you and Rachel. And when you left, because he took Vicodin when you were facing death, which he only did by the way because he had no other idea ob how to deal and didn't want to lose you, he started again and James had to help him get clean again. So you have no right trying to lecture me on my feelings for him. My love for Gregory is deep and real. So thank you. And stay out of our relationship. He's moved on and He's happy. Can't you let him just be happy? He shouldn't have to be a miserable person all the time. No one deserves that." With her eyes rimmed in tears, Cuddy swallowed and Left the room with a sharp nod.

"Damn Danielle." Joanna said. "Good one. You really told her. Is all that stuff true?" Danielle smiled and nodded. Joanna looked at her watch. "I gotta go. I'll come by later ok?"

"Ok." Danielle said hugging her. "Hey can you pick up my work or have Brooke bring it to me?"

"Sure sweetie." Joanna said as she left.


Wilson couldn't find House at his apartment or in his office. So He knew he'd be at the park b y the hospital. He came to a picnic table and found House sitting on it. The wheelchair sitting next to the table.

"I knew you figure out where I was." House said without looking over his shoulder. Wilson came over and sat next to House.

"I'm surprised you are still using that thing." Wilson said.

"My leg hurts and I promised Danielle." House last part caught Wilson's attention.

You can't blame yourself for what happened." Wilson said.

"Yes. I was my fault we were fighting." House said, not taking his eyes off the water. "I started in on her when she came home from school." He shrugged and reached over to the rock pile on the table next to him, which Wilson just noticed. House threw it into the water.

"What were you fighting about?"

"I told you it was nothing important."

"It must have been to make her walk out of your apartment." House sighed.

"It was about you and Keesh, which changed to Chase and Zoey. It was stupid. And none of our business."

"House," Wilson said. "I'm a big boy. I can take care of myself."

"Yeah..." House said. The sat in silence in for a bit.

"So that's what you mean last night by 'They're adults'." Wilson said breaking the silence. House nodded. "I noticed you are also keeping your promise to Danielle."

"Yeah." House said. He looked at the chair. He hated that thing. But His leg was in no condition to support his weight currently. So he'd give it until the stitches came out to get rid of that damned thing. "My leg can't carry my weight right now. And I really don't want to pop a stitch. That hurts like hell." They sat in silence for a while.

"Cuddy was looking for you. And Danielle told her off." Wilson told him.

"Why?" House asked, looking at Wilson for the first time sinche he had shown up.

"Apparently, Cuddy was lecturing her about not hurting you." House scoffed, then Wilson noticed a smile crept up onto His face.

"That's my girl." House said softly under his breath.


House wheeled into the DDX room as Chase was coming in.

"Why are you late?" House asked. "You're supposed to be taking care of Danielle."

"Yes," Chase said. "But I had to be at court because of the patient we lost last month. I figured that the team can give her the meds and take care of anything. if anything serious happened, they'd call me. Or you." Chase said putting his bag down on a chair. "I thought you'd be all over taking care of her."

"Well," Foreman said. " She got an infection. So I ordered Penicillin for her." Chase and House's eyes got wide. They both knew Danielle was allergic to Penicillin. I was in her chart too.

"What?!" House asked, angry. "Don't you even check your patients charts?! No wonder we lost that patient on your watch."

"What-" Foreman started but House cut him off.

"Taub, cancel that and order Bactrim. Chase go Check on Danielle. I'll Join you in a minute." House looked at Foreman his eyes blazing. "Foreman. You're fired."
