*John half carried Hallie into the infirmary, calling for a doctor.*

Hallie rolled her eyes. "John, you can put me down. I'll just go sit over there," she said, though she found his concern for her rather sweet.

*House walked into the exam room with this stethoscope around his neck and his really really expensive vintners cane in his hand.*
"And what can I do for you this lovely morning?" *He said, closing the door to face a couple.*
What the hell?
"My memory isn't what I used to be but... haven't I seen you here before?" *he said to the guy, squinting at him.*

*John huffed impatiently.*
"Probably, but it doesn't matter! This isn't about me, it's about her!" *he said, gesturing at Hallie.

*House turned to a girl who looked like she was in the early teens.* "Ok... that's just sick," *he said disgusted.* "He's old enough to be your dad! What? You're middle school run out of horny 13 year-olds?"

"I'm sixteen, which is perfectly acceptable in this day and age, Dr. House," she replied coolly. "And he's twenty-seven. Not exactly old enough to be my dad unless he went through very early puberty and was often in the company of way-too-horny, drug-addicted older sluts. But, anyway, I had a miscarriage and need treatment." She said all of this with a straight face and did not act at all offended.

*House blinked and glanced over at the man.* "Ugh, I guess womanizing does do much for your skin," *he said sarcastically as he went over to get the ultrasound machine.* "How about we confirm your diagnosis, doctor, before we schedule you for a D and C?"
*He turned on the ultrasound.* "Any bleeding?" *He asked as he lifted her shirt and squeezed some gel onto her lower belly.*

She nodded. "Huge spot on the bedsheets," she responded.

*Eponine poked her head in, having heard John yelling about something. She was intending on making amends with him, after that night in the cafe, but she spotted a scared-looking girl lying on the cot and mouthed to her:*
Do you need any help?

*House moved the probe around but the picture was strangely fuzzy; he swivled around in his stool to adjust a few thing on the machine.* "Wow, a 'huge' spot. What exactly is 'huge'? Bigger than 'enormous', smaller than 'big'?"
*After adjusting a few more things, he looked back up at the screen which conintued to be unreadable.* "What trimester?" *he asked as he continued to fiddle with the machine.*

Hallie thought a moment. "About ten inches in diameter. And judging by the tiny jelly bean I found in the blood, somewhere around the first trimester."

*House glanced up at the screen after adjusting the contrast on the image.* "It costs around six-grand for one of these. You'd think they'd work when you want them to," *he muttered to himself.*
*When it seemed to be working again, he moved the probe around on her belly again and found... nothing.*
"Ok," *he said, turning off the ultrasound.* "I'll schedule a priority D and C. There are some risks of..." *He looked at the girl.* "Nah, screw the boring old lecture about the risks. If you're old enough to bleed out of your vagina, you're obviously old enough to go through a simple D&C just fine."
*House took his cane, got up and walked out of the room to get Diana in there.*

Hallie turned to John. "See? I'm going to be just fine," she said, smiling at him.
