"Ssh." *She said.* "The baby will be just fine. I'm sure Dr. House has seen worse. Just set her down, nothing will happen to her."

Megan slowly turned the little bundle that was her daughter face-out and braced herself for what was to come.

*House lifted an eyebrow and stared at the baby, seemingly bored.*
"This is why I don't do materinty wards or the NICU," *he said dully before taking the patients file and flipping through it.* "Other than the giant cauliflower-esque thing on her face, she's a completely healthy bundle of joy," *he said sarcastically.* "But I'm gonna order a chem-7 and a few cultures to check for infections."
*House quickly scribbled a few things down on the chart, limped over to the sliding door and poked his head out.* "Renn!" *he yelled, disregarding the annoyed sqwaks of the patient.*

*Renn poked her head in the door in a manner that said 'i'm busy'.* "What?"

"Cauliflower thing- WHAT!? She doesn't have- if anything, she doesn't have enough-"
The baby began crying, and Megan gritted her teeth as she sat up and unsnapped the top of her gown.

*Micaela rolled her eyes at House and moved over to Megan.*
"You okay? I can ask him to leave if you want. Renn'll be indefinitley nicer."

"Renn's not the expert here."
She gently pushed Pina's mouth toward her nipple and began encouraging the baby to drink.

"Draw some blood and run a chem-7 and grow some cultures in your iddy-biddy path. garden to see if there are any common infections: bacteremia, septicemia, and all the usual suspects," *he said, giving her the file and walking past her and out of the room.* "Have fun."

*Micaela shrugged.*
"Guess he wasn't intending on staying." *She said, mostly to herself, before going over to a chair to wait.*

"And you couldn't possibly do any of this yourself because..."
*She rolled her eyes and walked into the room.*
"Go ahead and finish feeding her first, but I'm gonna need to take some blood to do a few tests."

"ASSHOLE!" Megan shouted, causing Pina to let go and burst into tears. Overwhelmed, Megan did too, clutching her daughter close and sobbing.

"Megan, don't worry about him! He's a jackass to everyone! It's okay!"

"WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME? A year ago, everything was perfect- I had a home, a family, a job, school... And now I'm not even nineteen yet, broke, an unmarried mother with a very damaged child..."
