[ Don't worry I know it wasn't on purpose or anything ]

Chase had enough of this woman's talk, if she would say more it would probably upset Cecile and that was the last thing they wanted. So he firmly pushed Abigail in her back to the door. Only after he made sure that the mother was out and that the door was closed, leaving Dyland and Cecile inside, he spoke again.
"Now would you please shut up for a moment? We're doctors, obviously we would know what is wrong with your daughter!"

-----

As soon as Cameron noticed that Cecile's mother was about to start a row, she ran over to House's office. She grabbed the MRI results from House's desk and said: "Need them for a minute" Then she left again. Chase, Virginia and Abigail were now standing in the hallway and Cameron quickly joined them. She could see that Chase was about to say things he would regret, for his eyes were narrowed and his face was serious.

"Chase!" Cameron spoke and she threw him a look to alarm him to keep his mouth shut. Cameron would do this the subtle way.
"Mrs Baker" she said quietly. "We are serious. These are the scans of Cecile's brain." she pointed on the scan. "These are lethal tumors. We don't know what caused it but she needs to be in surgery as soon as possible. You have to sign for the consent here."

Abigail looked at the scans and then at the doctors. "You are sure?" Her voice didn't sound as firm and strict like before, but quickly catched herself again. "I'm against this operation. This is too risky. I doubt you have enough qualified doctors here who can treat her in the right way...I will bring her to a private clinic where she can be treatened." Without another word, she went back into the room and went over to the bed. She glared at Dylan and looked at Virgina while she passed. "Get him out of here. He knows he has no right to see my daughter again." Dylan looked at her. "Please...I...please let the doctors operate on her...please..." Abigail let out a dry laugh. "You seem you don't know who I am, young man. I will go home with her now...I will bring her to a clinic where she can be treaten the right way." She went beside the bed and shook her.

Cecile woke up. She felt groggy, like she had taken drugs. Where was she? What had happened? She had to think of the sleeping pills she had hidden in her bag...she had to think of her plan...if she had failed again with her work...had she died? She opened her eyes and saw the face of her mother...barely in the light, calling her name. She sounded angry. Suddenly, the voices got louder, they were all around her...there were too many voices again, screaming at her, too many eyes, staring at her. She went up in her bed in an instant and started screaming. She didn't know what she was doing, she just closed her eyes and screamed, out of pain, angony, confusion...she didn't even know anymore why she was screaming.

Abigail went back in shock as her daughter started screaming. She looked back at Dylan and grabbed him by his shirt. "What have you done to my daughter? Have you given her drugs?! I told you not to see her again!" She pressed him hard into a wall, her hand moved to his neck. Her voice was angry and threatening. "I told you to take your hands off her! What have you done to her? What have you done?!"

Virgina swllaowed, and looked at Chase. "Exuse me, let me handle this, and I aplogise ahead of time." She said before marching up to Cecilie's mother. "Mrs. Baker, I have told you already, your daughters blood test shows there are no drugs in her system. Dylan is the one that brought her in. Alos, because your daughter is 19, she doesn't need your consent or disconsent for surgery. Which if she doesn't have it soon, she could die. So I sugest you leave Dylan alone, let the doctors do ther job, and look on how you have been treating your daughter, because from what I have seen, if you were my mother, i would be strssed tyo the point of suicde as well." Virgina was yelling now. "And just so you know, this is the second fit she has had when you have been mentioned. If she does die, it would be on your head. Happy?"

((Ok, how was that?))

(lol, that was great^^)

Abigail looked back at Virgina, cold and uninterested. Why should she let someone scream at her who was young enough to be her daughter, a girl who wasn't even a doctor? "Fine. If I'm not needed here...if this is only my fault...then...go ahead." She took the paper from Cameron and signed it, without even looking at it or anyone else. "Do whatever you think you have to do, whatever you think is right. But I'm telling you, you will hear from me again. You seem not to know who I am." She glared back at Dylan. "...or who he is. He isn't the caring one he is playing here...but you will see...and I promise you, if something goes wrong during this surgery, you will get problems you won't even dream of. Goodbye." She opened the door and left the room, without one further word to Virgina or the two doctors she went down the corridor.

Cecile didn't know anything anymore. She was confused and scared. Her mother...she had been here...no...Dylan...how did she come here? She closed her eyes. help she thought. The pain was coming back. She could feel it rushing through her whole body. She didn't know what was going on. She screamed in pain and fear. What was happening to her? She shook her head. Her brain seemed too big, pressing against her head from the inside. She got up a last time in her bed, screaming as loud as she could, to make them hear her...it was so loud around her...nobody could hear her...nobody could see her. And then, everything around her got black again...black and silent...

Cameron looked shocked at the outburst of Virginia and then Abigail stalking off. Handing Chase the consent papers she ran after the mother.
"Mrs Baker, please listen. Your daughter needs you. You have to trust us, this hospital has the best doctors any clinic can offer. So she is in good hands with us. A disease is never anyone's fault and we'll do anything to discover what is wrong with your girl so she'll be healthy again."

Cameron looked at Abigail, almost pleading. It was not in her nature to let this woman leave, so her daughter may die alone. She looked up again at the woman and she felt that she was hurt. "Can I get you anything?"

-----

"Well done!" Chase commented on Virginia. "What if we need her to sign another consent form? Cecile can't take that decision." He looked at the young girl of whom he thought she had obviously still alot to learn. "We're doctors, we ought to stay professional."

He sighed and looked at the papers. "I reserved an OR. She can be in surgery anytime now. Come, lets inform House."

Abigail didn't want to show any weakness. She had never done, she had never been allowed to to show emotions to anyone...but this was too much for her to handle. She felt like falling and sat down on a bench behind her, looking up to the doctor. "Operate on her...please...make sure she will be okay..." she pressed her hands into her face and started crying. She couldn't do anything against it. "What have I done? I only wanted the best for her...her father left us for another woman when she was thirteen...and since then, I've done everything wrong." She looked up at the celing. "This intern was right...it is my fault...my fault..." She broke down crying again. She noticed for the first time in her life, she wasn't as strong as she always had claimed. "She has not deserved this...please...let her live..." she broke down completely into the chair. She was having a nervous breakdown. Her mind gave up. The pressure, the news her daughter could die at the age of 19, the message everything had been her fault was too much for her. "Let her live...I will do anything...I...I ask for nothing...but...let her live."

Cameron kneeled next to Abigail and patted her on the shoulder. "Everyone makes mistakes." she said quietly. "It's not too late. You should be there for her now. She needs you." Cameron left to get Abigail a glass of water and when she returned the thought crossed her mind that it perhaps was already too late.

She left Abigail with the comment that Cecile would be operated for a few hours but when she was ready that she would be brought back to her room. Then she left to see House.

Virgina followed Chase. "Some one needed to get through to that woman. No one else would so I stepped up. Besides we fot the conesnt didn't we."

((I am adding something that I think could help explain Virgina's reaction, M_E, I will pm my idea to you because House knows.))

Abigail sighed deeply and looked down into her glass. She wiped the tears off her face and went back to the room where her daughter was. She didn't look at Dylan as she came in. She just sat down beside Cecile, looking at her. She seemed so weak...so...breakable...like a little child. Her face was pale. She took her hands and pulled them back in shock as she realized how cold they were. Desperately, she tried holding tears back. Her daughter was either already dead, or she was close to. She pulled her closer to her, almost into a comforting hug and hid her face in her blanket. "Don't give up, Cecile. I'm here...I'm here for you...you will make it..." silently, she started crying again, whispering to her into the blanket. "You will make it, Cecile. You will make it. You will make it. You will make it. I believe in you...you will make it...please...don't give up, Cecile. Don't give up." She pressed her face tighter into her sheets. She didn't even notice as the door open again. She could only bring out one sentence, a last desperate message to her daughter. "You will make it. Don't give up. I believe in you."

(Okay.)
House glanced at the file on his desk with a sigh. Reaching over, he picked the file up off of his desk and opened it, putting his feet up on the desk and grabbing his pill bottle with the other hand.

Chase sighed. "Well we ought to do it differently." He looked at Cameron who'd followed them to House. "Did the woman hurt you with her sharp tongue?" He grinned.

Cameron gave Chase a look and said somewhat insulted: "No. She actually listened to me. I think she had a pretty hard time. She opened the door to House's office and reported. "Girl is having brain surgery now. All we have to do is wait."

"Has everyone around here forgotten about the art of knocking?" asked House, not glancing up from the file. He flipped another page before setting the file down.

(well, might as well jump in here)

Cuddy stalked into House's office, her heels clicking angrily.

"What is this about your patient's mother being yelled at? People were watching, House, and they came to me, because they are concerned with the way we treat our patients! What were you thinking?"

(obviously, she doesn't know it was Virginia. )

House reached over to turn his music down again, rolling his eyes. "Whatever it is, for the first time, like, ever, it wasn't me." He glanced at the assembled in his office for a moment, trying to decide who he would blame. "It was...Cameron."

Cuddy crossed her arms over her chest and sighed.

"No it wasn't. I was told that a "Doctor House" was yelling at a patient."

"Well then it was either my evil twin, or it was my neice. Or it was Cameron," he said, crossing his arms and mocking Cuddy's expression.
