Okay, guys, here is my second House story! I hope you guys like it!

Disclaimer: If I owned House do you realy think I would have him pining over Stacey? Or do you think Chase would still be single? Of course not! He would be married to me!

Robert Chase rushed into the conference room. He was late for a meeting that he was supposed to be at over an hour ago. As he walked in he was greeted by the angry faces of his co-workers.

"I'm glad that you finaly decided to join us, Chase. Sit down so I can tell you about the new case." House said as he limped over to the clear dry-erase board.

Chase took a seat beside Cameron. Everyone was staring at him.

"What?" He asked.

House just shook his head and began talking."A girl came in here, she's having aches and pains, she's bruising easily, and she's passing out. What could be wrong with her?" House asked.

"It could be anything, something as simple as influenza to something as serious as leaukemia." Foreman said.

"What's the patient's name and age?" Wilson asked.

"Ellie House, she's nineteen." House said.

"Ellie House? Is she..." Chase beagan before getting interrupted.

"Yes, we are related, she's my brothers daughter, which would make her my neice." House explained.

"We should start testing her. She's college age, she could have meningitis, it's going around in some New Jersey colleges." Cameron said.

"Yeah, Princeton General has had several cases of it in college students just in the last week or two." Foreman spoke up.

"I'll run tests for influenza, miningits, and leaukemia." Chase said while standing up.

Chase grabbed her files and began walking to the elevator. He pressed the button and went down to the third floor. She was in room 343. He quikly found the room and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A voice said.

Chase opened the door to see Ellie lying in her bed with her

parents sitting beside her. Chase noticed that Ellie was quite beautiful. She had long auburn hair and blue eyes.

"Hello, I'm Dr.Chase." He said.

"Hi, I'm Joseph House, and this is my wife, Daniell and my daughter, Ellie." Ellie said.

" I understand that Ellie has been having pains, and has been passing out, how long has this been going on?" Chase asked.

"About three weeks, well, at least the pains anyway, I just started passing out yesterday." Ellie explained.

"Well, we're going to run some tests on you, will that be okay?" Chase asked.

"Anything is fine, just find out what's wrong with me." Ellie said, "Oh yeah, and don't let my uncle run those tests, I swear the man is crazy!"

Chase laughed. "Your not the only one who thinks so!" Chase thought to himself."Alright,I'll go get the needles and we'll have these tests done in no time." Chase said.

He walked out of the room and down the hall to a nurse's station. It took him awhile, but he eventualy found the needles and vials for the blood tests, he also grabbed a bone marrow needle for the leaukemia tests. When he returned Ellie's parents were gone. He figured that they had gone to get some coffee or something.

"Okay, are you ready?" Chase asked. He had the needle in his hand.

"I guess." Ellie replied. She turned her head away and closed her eyes. Ellie wasn't good with needles.

"Are you allright?" Chase asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just don't like needles."Ellie replied.

Chase was nearly finished with the blood tests. He dreaded doing the bone marrow test. He knew that it would cause Ellie alot of pain, but it had to be done.

Chase noticed a decline in her heart rate as he drew the last vial. It was going way too low, and her monitor was beeping.

" I need some help in here!" Chase yelled. He immediatly stopped drawing the blood. Ellie's breathing had rapidly decreased, she was barely breathing at all. Chase grabbed a pump and started pumping air into Ellie's lungs to help her mantain oxygen. Ellie's heart rate continued to decrease, nothing that Chase was doing was helping her. For once in Chase's career, he didn't know what to do.
