I listen to Cameron and Foreman discuss and try to figure out why House is giving us all a week off. I look up as they all go quiet to find that he has walked into the room and is glaring at them before beginning to talk. My mind starts to wander back as he goes off on his normal tangent about patients and the clinic. I think about how much he has not changed and how he has changed since the day eleven years ago.
That day I was fifteen years old with no clue that my life was about to change directions. I had no clue that I was not going to be returning to seminary school or that within a year I would be married. The day that I first saw him it was May. It was at the start of my annual month break from taking care of my mother while my Aunts watched her. I was attending a medical conference in London with my cousin Lizzy’s husband Phillip who was presenting a paper. I had tagged along for kicks, just because I refused to become a doctor did not mean that I didn’t find it interesting at times. Unfortunately I had run into my father at the conference and I had just gotten into an argument with him. He was pissed to find me at the conference since children should not be in attendance because this was business and not fun and games. He also was not please that I had corrected one of his little groupies but if that twit had paid attention in even a basic first aid course then I would not have needed to embarrass him.
“If that guy is your boss you really need to quit.” I hear an American voice say from behind me as I watch my father walk off.
“What?” I ask as I turn around to see this tall handsome man grinning with the cockiest grin that I had ever seen.
“That arrogant jerk that was yelling at you, Dr. Chase, I assume is your boss. He really had no right, you were correct and that idiot shouldn’t be practicing medicine. Even more important you were funny as hell taking that man down a peg. My name is Greg House.” He says reaching his hand out to shake mine.
“Robert Marcus” I tell him not wanting him to know that the jerk is my father. “No, he is not my boss but I do know him. I am not a doctor I am just here with my cousin’s husband Dr. Phillip Todds.”
“Well Mr. Marcus for not being a doctor you are very knowledgeable in medicine. I should have known that you weren’t a doctor though you are much too pretty to be a doctor. All the nurses and other doctors would be too busy looking at you to get work done.” Greg said smiling at me. “I am glad that I was forced to come to this conference, for once it has been interesting. How about we get out of here and get something to eat?”
“Yes, I would like that but only if you call me by my first name, but first I need to go tell Phillip that I am leaving.” I respond feeling happy for once.
“Okay Robby, call me Greg. I will wait here for you while you go tell him that you are leaving. Hurry back!” Greg says smiling at me.
I flash him a quick smile as I rush off to find Phillip to tell him that I am going to get dinner and that I will meet him back at the house later or that I will call. Greg is standing in the same spot when I get back. He grabs my hand and guides me out the door as we head off to dinner.
That dinner turned into breakfast as we talked for hours and then went walking along the river before going to his hotel room. We fell asleep that night on the couch watching movies. I woke up in the middle of the night to him carrying me to the bed so that I would be more comfortable. As silly as it was I think he stole my heart then as we argued about whether we could share the bed. It was his room but he wanted me to have the bed and he was going to sleep on the couch which he was too tall for. His secret heart of gold shined through at that moment. I fell back asleep that night in his arms after winning the argument over the sleeping arrangements and woke up that way in the morning all tangled up with him. I had just met him but I felt safe and secure in a way that I never had before.
I lifted my head slightly to look at him as he slept. He woke up after only a few minutes and just stared straight into my eyes and cupped my face with his hand. He kissed me gently and I felt my heart clench.
“Well, I don’t plan on going to the conference today. I think I will ditch and do something with you. What do all you British people do for fun over here?” Greg asks teasingly.
“I’m not British. I’m Australian. I don’t know what they do for fun over here but I vote for staying right here.” I tell him.
“You are to British you put the queen on your money that makes you British.” Greg states quite seriously except for the grin in his eyes. “I think staying here is a great idea.” He says before rolling me over on my back with him right above me.
The day was spent kissing and talking mixed up with more kissing and lying together on the couch. I learned a lot about him that day. I learned that he was very sarcastic and funny and that while he did admit to it he loved being a doctor. Everything was a puzzle to him and he loved to solve puzzles. I called my cousin to let her know that I was staying here longer and to tell her what was up. I made plans for dinner the next night so that she could met this mystery man.
That evening a situation did come up about the fact that the further that we went the more tentative I became. He finally just asked me what was wrong. We had to have the whole no Robby has not had sex with anyone yet. This shocked him as he put it I was much too tempting and pretty to not have been pursued heavily. I also explained that Robby has been too busy taking care of his mother and he wanted it to mean something when the time came. He asked me if I wanted him to slow down and I told him that no the only problem was that I didn’t know what to do. He just kissed me and told me not to worry about it. I slept that night wrapped up in his arms.
The next day Greg actually has to go to the conference. I go to my cousin’s house to get some clean clothes and to do some laundry. My cousin Lizzy and I have a long talk about Greg and just what I am thinking going off with someone that I had just met. I told her that I felt like I had always known him and that it just felt right. After a few embarrassing questions about whether or not we had sex yet she let me off the hook. She asked if he was the one and I told her that I was positive that he was.
That night at dinner everything was going well until the arrogant jerk showed up at the restaurant. I was my father walk in and be seated with several of his colleagues. I start to bring up leaving the restaurant when Rowan showed up at table to lector. He starts questioning why I am here in London and not at home attending school. After I refuse to answer him he started lecturing me in Czech about how irresponsible I am. He says that I should be at home taking care of my mother and attending school. I yell back at him in Czech that I am not a child and that my mother is not my responsibility but his. I switch back to English and ask Lizzy to inform my father why I am not missing school. As I am leaving to go outside onto the patio I hear Lizzy and Phillip informing my father that I graduated in January and am not starting classes again until August.
Greg comes out right behind me and pulls me into his arms. “So, Robby Marcus Chase is it?” Greg asks.
“Well, I told you he wasn’t my boss. I just didn’t want to have to admit that the prick was my father.” I tell him.
“What was your father going on about anyway? And just how was it may I enquire that he did not know that you graduated? What did you graduate from?” Greg asks looking very puzzled down at me.
“He was lecturing me on being irresponsible because I am not at home taking care of my mother. He doesn’t put family high on his list of important thing is it is on the list at all. Before I saw him the other day at the conference I had not seen him for almost eight months. Um, about my graduating it wasn’t from university.” I say a little shaky.
“What are you doing?” I hear my father say as he storms outside onto the patio. “What have you now decide to add perversion and being a young whore onto the list of disappointments that I must deal with?” My father says with anger and snootiness in his voice.
“I am not a whore and it is not perversion to love someone. I love him and nothing you can say is going to ruin this.” I tell him.
My father back hands me sending me crashing into Greg. Greg whips around putting himself between us and in a split second decks my father while yelling at him. “How can you speak to your son that way? Get the hell away from him now.”
Lizzy and Phillip come towards us quickly and say that it is time to go. They drop us off at the hotel after making sure that I am alright. As we lay on the couch together me wrapped up in his arms tightly he says that he has a few questions that he wants honest answers to.
“Just how old are you exactly and did you mean what you said to your father about loving me?” He asks intently.
“Yes, I meant what I said to my father about loving you. About my age how about I tell you after we have sex then you can at least claim ignorance of my age.” I tell him looking away. I am not sure I want to see his reaction to me admitting love after two days.
“Well I am going to take that to mean that you are not eighteen yet. Normally I would be making a comment about falling in love so quickly but you are not the only one.” He says as he pulls me on top of him fully.
I look into his eyes to see if he is telling the truth. “Two and a half years.” I tell him.
“Two and a half years until what?” He asks confused.
“Two and a half years until I am eighteen.” I admit.
“Well, that would make you fifteen and at any other time I would be running away as you are almost twenty years younger than me and underage. I must have lost my common sense somewhere.” He says grinning at me.
We spend the rest of the night talking about what to do about the little problem of the commute between Sydney and New Jersey.
After that night time seemed to move quickly along with my life.
Two days later I am flying back to Australia with Greg to get my mother and me packed up to move to New York City full time. She will be living in New York Flat while I will be in New Jersey. This way I can be close enough to take care of her.
A week later I am happily giving myself fully to Greg on his bed in our apartment in New Jersey.
Within a month of arriving in America Greg asks me to marry him and I am engaged to be married.
Two weeks after becoming engaged Greg finds me sobbing on the couch. He starts asking what the problem is. Did my father call or did something happen to my mother? After 15 minutes of going around in circles I admit that I am pregnant. He freezes up and I start running for the door sobbing thinking that he doesn’t want me anymore. He swings me up in his arms and tells me how happy he is. The next eight months I spend driving Greg crazy with hormones and cravings for Aero bars and Walkers Cheese and Onion Crisps dipped in Vegemite.
Three months exactly after we met we are married in London with my mother happily giving me away with all my aunts and cousins there.
Two months after the wedding my mother dies. Rowan does not even bother to come to the funeral. Greg stays up two days straight keeping me as calm as possible and off my feet.
On January 16 at 11:58 at night Gregory Marcus Chase House is born.
One year to the day that we met I am happily married with a family.
May attention is called back to the present as I hear my name.
“Dr. Chase if you are not too busy staring off into space can you attempt to pay attention and maybe add something worth while?” Dr. House says looking at me mischievously as Cameron and Foreman laugh.
I look over at him and roll my eyes. I think for a second. “I will pay attention after you get me some crisps and vegemite.” I grin at him laughing inside.
He looks at me and laughs while the others look confused. “I thought that you said five were enough. Here we go again.”
