House's Angel - House MD Story

House's Ex's Husband

"A tummy ache, cranky--no apparent source. Any thoughts?" Cameron asks acting like House. "Foreman, you're gonna contribute, or are you too tired from stealing cars?" She asks and he just looks blankly at her. "I'm being House. It's funny."

"I know. You made milk come out of my nose." Foreman said deadpanned

"Don't do that. You aren't good at it." Aiden tells her.

"Morning." House says walking in the office. "You guys got the file. What's wrong?" He asks walking towards the coffee maker.

"Previous tests revealed nothing that would cause abdominal pain or the mood swings." Cameron says

"Then we're done. What do you think? Ball game? Zoo?" Aiden says sarcastically like her dad would. "I don't care. I just want to hang with you guys."

"Took the words right out of my mouth, Angel." House says as he hands her a coffee. Aiden smiles at him.

"And that's how you be daddy." Aiden says looking at Cameron.

"What about drugs? His tox screen on admission showed
a massive amount of chloral hydrate." Chase says while sitting on the table behind Aiden.

"Yeah. Sorry. That was me. I had to dope him up to get him in here. Guy doesn't think he's sick." House says

"Who does?" Cameron asks

"His wife." House says and Aiden knows for certain who the patient is now.

"Stacy. He's Stacy's husband. You drugged him to get him in here after he avoided two exams in the hospital?" Aiden asks and then groans. "That will not end well." She mumbles.

"The woman you used to live with." Cameron says

"That's her Indian name. On her driver's license it's Stacy, like Angel said. I assume you have a point."

"You believe her over the patient himself. That's why we're taking this case." Cameron says

"The truth? I hear voices all the time telling me to do stuff. It's crazy, huh?"

"What happened to "everybody lies"?"

"I/He was lying." House and Aiden both say.

"Do the things-- the blah, blah, blah, blah. All that stuff the other docs did. If that's negative, ultrasound his belly. If that's negative, C.T. his abdomen and pelvis with and without contrast." House said walking towards his office. "Did I miss anything?"

"Kitchen sink." Chase says

"Well, we could certainly give that--Oh, you minx!"

"You're wrong about why we are taking the case Cameron." Aiden says after her dad leaves the conference room connected to his office.

"What?" She asks confused and Chase and Foreman look at her confused as well.

"We're not taking the case because Daddy believes Stacy over her husband. We're taking this case because Stacy asked him to and he chose to do it as a favor to her, because he used to love her. That's the only reason he took the case." Aiden says and she stands. Cameron looks slightly jealous at House loving someone that isn't her. "You don't have to worry about any feelings my dad used to have about Stacy, Cameron. All I would worry about right now is how desperate you are for a guy that is old enough to be your father and clearly not interested in you. It's kind of pathetic." She says and she walks out the door.

"Why is she rude to me? She's nice to the two of you." Cameron asks Foreman and Chase

"Maybe it's because you're after House." Foreman said.

"Actually it's because you called her a prostitute without even knowing her and because you are trying to change who House is." Chase said

"How do you know?" Cameron asks him.
