Episode 2
Paternity rewrite

“Hey!” Jody appeared behind James and tapped on the shoulder.
“Hey!” James smiled and they started to walk together.

“What the…..” Jody stopped in front of the waiting room that full of patients.

“Huh?” James froze as well.

“You sure that Greg’s here today, aren’t you?” Jody asked and started to walk carefully through the patients all over the seats.

“I think so…. I saw him check in this morning. Well, the nurse on the counter told me so.” James answered and followed.

“Well… I wonder what he’s doing here if he’s not seeing any patients. I don’t think that would work with Dr. Cuddy.” Jody said and stopped in front of the exam room.

“Yeah….” James turned the door knot and got inside. “Hey!”

“Close the door! Close the door!” Greg hissed; he was sitting on a chair without anything on his side.

“What… Is Cuddy counting 50 down the hall or something?” Jody said with a smirk.

“She knows I’m in here, the clinic, as she commanded; she just doesn’t know I’m alone.” Greg answered; he set up.

“Well, you’ve got a full waiting room, how long do you think you can ignore them?” James asked.

”I’m off at 4.” Greg answered simply.

”You’re doing this to avoid 5 minutes of work?” Jody asked; she set on the drawer and smiled.

”If I go out there I get assigned a kid with a runny nose. That’s 30 seconds looking at the nose; 25 minutes talking to a worried mom who won’t leave until she’s sure it’s not meningitis or a tumor.” Greg said; complaining.

”Yeah, concerned parents can be so annoying.” Jody nodded a bit. “I had a boy with a simple spoonerism and his mother though her son got some kind of serious mental illness. He was just a normal boy, he just find hard to speak up.”

“Just tell Cuddy you’ve got an urgent case, you had to leave early.” James said simply.

”That would be lying.” Greg said – well, he said he never lies to someone, but obviously, that’s what he does, sometimes….-

”And that would be wrong. But luckily, the definition of urgent is fungible.” Jody stood upon her feet and turned around to the door way to leave.

”Not the definition of case though.” Greg mumbled; hardly hear him.

“You have no cases. You have NO cases. You’ve got hand picked doctors, specialists, working for you, and they’re sitting on their hands?” Jody said with a shock for the first time; well, she got use to Greg House’s actions, but this one?

”Cameron is answering my mail.” Greg answered simply again.

”Time well spent I’m sure.” James mumbled; he rolled his eyes and perked his shoulder.

“And how about Dr. Foreman and Dr. Chase?” Jody asked; she put her hand on her hips, looks pretty polite.

Greg rolled his eyes and paused; tried to figure out what they might be up to.
***********************************************************

“…. Um…. Research?” Greg finally answered; and Jody and James gave an annoying look at Greg and left the room slowly.
Another day begun and just as usual, Jody walked into the Neurophysiology lounge.
“Good morning, people….” Jody appeared into the Neurophysiology lounge where McDaniel and Granger were sitting down and reading the medical magazines. –without pictures!!-

“Good morning, Dr. Robinson. I’ve just heard that Doctor House got a case…” McDaniel spoke up behind his magazine.

“And, is there a reason that you are telling me this?” Jody asked and set back; pulled out the ‘entertainment weekly’ and set back on her chair, placed her feet upon the table.

“Well… you nearly lived in the diagnosis medicine office for whole week and take of the case that isn’t even yours, so… I though you would be interested in.” McDaniel answered surely and jerked his shoulder.

“Umm…. Which means that you are jealous, because I haven’t seen your faces for a week?” Jody said; she pulled up her magazine up to her face and started to turn the pages with extraordinary speed.

“No! It’s not that! And who would get jealous because of their boss’s away and look after the other people’s patients!” Granger argued, she put her magazines down and stared at Jody.

“Umm… who would that be…. Yeh, you do.” Jody said with a tiny smile on her face. “I though you are good enough, but I’m sorry, you are not that good enough. You see, you are psychologist, and you know how the people mind works. This means, you know the way lie to the people, which you are not doing it properly. Clarification - you have a long way to get there,”

“A long way to what?” Granger asked with an aggressive tone.

“A long way to…. Um…. whatever you want to be,” Jody answered simply and popped a candy.

“See! You are even popping the pill!” McDaniel shrunk.

“What? I’m not addict like someone who I know. I’m popping a candy, not a drug, thank you very much…” Jody faced McDaniel for the first time.

“Anyway…. I do personally think that you are really like that House person…” McDaniel said.

“That House what?” Jody paused and though about something for a moment and said. “Oh, you mean, Greg House?”

“Yeah… do we know any other House around here?” McDaniel gave a –the- look.

“Well… I hope not. I really don’t understand the way he dress the T-shirt under his jacket. I mean…” Jody interrupted by Granger.

“Well, that’s what the people are saying…. You two always stick together for some reason….”

“What are you trying to say?” Jody asked immediately; it sounded a bit colder than usual, and the duckling froze by her reaction.

“Umm… I… I just meant…..” Granger stuttered for a while and whispered. “I’m sorry if I upset you for some point….”

“…..” Jody looked at Emily for a while and smiled. “Relax it’s just a joke…. I got ya, didn’t I? Do you still want me to be as serious as you two are?”

Emily and Michael sighed a little and smiled back.

They were in the same team for nearly three years. Jody has been a doctor for four years, and Michael worked with Jody for two and Emily for a year.
At first, Jody was not going to pick the assistances for some reasons, but Dr. Cuddy’s ‘recommendation’; she had to pick the team. So there they are, two young doctors. They both are very talented and smart, but lack of humor for some reason.

“How long have you known Doctor House and Dr. Wilson for?” Emily asked; she still got an image of a little girl who listening to the bedtime story from her mother on the bed side.

“I never knew that you are so interested in my life…” Jody said.

“Well, if you don’t want to tell us, you don’t have to…” McDaniel said but interrupted by Emily.

“Just curious….”

“You don’t usually get so curious,” Jody said

“I always get so curious about the trivialities.” Emily answered; her brown eyes twinkled behind his rectangular glasses.

“Umm…. Alright…. One more thing that I learn from you. You are really interested in someone else’s life story. This is where I give you an advice and you are going to listen to me. You should be more curious to something big, not something trivial.” Jody said and put the magazine on the table and shut her eyes for a moment. “Alright, alright…. I met James and Greg, Dr. Wilson and Dr. House from medical school... well when I was doing residency stuff...” Jody said and put her eyes back to her magazines.

“But you look like much younger than those two. Well, Doctor Wilson looks much younger than Dr. House, though.” Emily said.

“Wow, am I look that younger to you? Thank you,” Jody said and paused. “Which makes it I knew them for about eight years, I guess.” Jody looked at Emily and smiled. “And there’s your answer.”

“Oh… I see…. That’s pretty long time, though….” Emily said; she looked a bit disappointed for some reason. Perhaps, she expected much more details on it.

“Excuse me…. Dr. Robinson?” A nurse knocked on the door.

“Yes? How can I help you, Kelly?” Jody asked and stood up on her feet; the nurse seems surprise that a doctor knows her name. – There must be hundred of nurses in this clinic!-

“Umm…. You got a patient, Doctor Robinson…” The nurse, Kelly, answered and pulled out the file and handed it to Emily on the door way.

“Miss Violet Webster. It just says that she needs some kind of psychological help?” Emily looked over the file for a little, and passed it to Jody.

“Alright…. Let’s get to work… tat tat!” Jody stood up and started to walk toward her office where the meeting is placing. Always, she used her office as a dealing place.

She always put some pictures and poems on the wall, so anyone could see and read it. It was something special about Jody’s treatment. Well, a bit like Greg House, but she treat the patients with their own ‘problems’ pretty well. Not just because of pity, but there was something else. The others just hadn’t notice it yet.

***********************************************************

A couple of days pass, and Jody met up with Greg team on their office; all of them were exhausted. –Well, except for Greg, perhaps….-

“Hey. What’s up?” Jody asked and got inside the office.

“The hooker ran out of the room last night.” Greg answered just simply.

“What? Oh. You mean your patient? Dan?” Jody said.

“Yeah. I’m wondering how you can remember all those source of things… names, places and stuff….” Greg said and offered Foreman a cup of coffee.

“So, is he alright now?” Jody asked.

“Yeah… he was on the roof of the hospital at night! Nearly jumped off.” Dr. Chase answered; he looked exhausted than usual.

“Wow… Suicidal?” Jody asked; she set on the chair next to the sink.

“No, Foreman told me it was conscious. Want some?” Greg answered and offered Jody a cup of coffee.

“Yes, please….” Jody answered with a smile on her face and spoke. “Which means, Dan’s immune system is working, which means that this isn’t some demyelinating disease like MS that you were thinking of?”

“And he has an infection in his brain,” Greg poured a cup and passed it to Jody and set on the chair next to her.

“What about sex?” Cameron asked directly.

”Well, it might get complicated. We work together. I am older, certainly, but maybe you like that.” Greg answered.

“I think she meant maybe he has neurosyphilis.” Jody said before Cameron opened her mouth and argued back.

”Huh, nice cover.” Greg winked lightly to Cameron who was shaking her head.

”Sorry, RPR was negative.” Chase said; forcing not to laugh.

”We don’t need a definitive test to confirm this.” Greg said; drank a bit of coffee from his mug.

”Sure, didn’t need one to confirm MS.” Cameron said in hopeless tone.

“Ok, let’s wait for you to run titers on 4000 viruses while this kid’s brain turns to mush.” Greg said.

”So the fact that he doesn’t have MS is, it’s really not good news after all?” Jody asked.

”Well, it is if it’s neurosyphilis, the likelihood of a false negative on an RPR test, 30%, the likelihood of a 16 year old having sex, roughly 120%.” Greg answered.

”I’ll start him on IV penicillin.” Cameron said and about to get up.

“We’re not going to wait for that. The most effective way to deliver the drug is right into his brain via the spine.” Greg said and Cameron backed on her seat.

”We can’t. In a cramped space like the brain, increased intracranial pressure from a high volume drug like penicillin could herniate to his brain stem and kill him. No neurologist in his right mind would recommend that.” Foreman said; after all, he’s a neurologist.

”Show of hands, who thinks I’m not in my right mind?” Greg suggested, but no one raise their hands at all.

”And who thinks I forget this fairly basic neurological fact?” Greg asked again, but no one raise it either.

“Who thinks there’s a third option?” Greg asked for third time. Hopefully, Doctor Robert Chase raised his hand.

”Very good, what’s the third choice?” Greg asked.

”No idea, you just asked if I thought there was one.” Chase answered with a little smile on his face, but no one really laughed.

“The patient has a shunt in his brain. There’ll be no increased pressure; we can put as much penicillin into his body as we want.” Foreman said and sighed; gave the look at Chase.

“Excellent, inject him through a lumbar puncture.” Greg said hopefully and started to limp out the room.

Part 2

Greetings, again... (obviously, you are just reading through a epic.... Just look down, and you can read whole parts! Well... If there's some feedback, it won't be that way!! - yeh.. I pissed off....-)

___________________________________________________

Next day, Jody headed the office again, and saw the ducklings and House cross off the letter, ‘M.I.D.N.I.T.’ and figuring out the causes of the hearing voices problems of the boy, Dan.

“CT scan rules out subdural.” Cameron said.

”Trauma, later much. You know the problem? Midnight is actually spelled with a “G” and an “H,” If we could just figure out what those two letters stand for.” Greg went up to the board and ducklings faced his back. “It’s a sick brain, having fun, torturing him, talking to him.” Greg paused for a moment and continued. “Scaring the hell out of him. Get him an EEG, left and right EOG esophageal microphones. If this thing wants to talk, let’s listen.”
”So, who want to talk to this guy?” Greg faced the people in the office.

“Oh, pick me, pick me!” Jody said; it did sound a bit childish, and the eyes looking at her.

“Oh, the cutest little baby mocking sound. Right, then I will send Dave….” Greg said.

“It’s Dan, I believe…. And alright… I will talk to him during EEG. How about this afternoon?” Jody interrupted.

“Alright… that’s what you do best, isn’t it? Talking to mad people?” Greg asked with a teeny tiny smile on his face and popped his pill.

**********************************************************

The boy, Dan sent into the EGG room, and after a while, Jody appeared.

“Hello. You must be Dan, aren’t you?” Jody greeted with a smile on her face.

“Yeh… yeah… And you are..?” Dan asked.

“Oh, I’m sorry… I forgot to introduce myself… I’m Doctor Robinson. You can call me just Jody, or Dr. Robinson. Whatever you’d like to call. I’m going to put you into EGG test. Have you ever heard of it, Dan?” Jody asked with a kind smile on her face.

“Not really….” Dan said.

“It’s simple. It’s short name for ‘Electroencephalograph’. It is very sensitive machine. Olden days, a doctor put lime flavor jelly-O into the machine, and it said the jelly is alive and thinking. Actually, it was because the people who were talking right next door.” Jody said and started to put the wires around Dan’s head.

Dan smiled and lied still.

“It shows me what you are really doing. Paying attention, thinking of something, sleepy, tired or sleeping. It’s not a big deal, but it would be for the teachers, would it?” Jody gagged and Dan laughed.
“You don’t have to lie still. All you have to do is just try to be relaxing and tell me if you hear the voices as quick as you can. Understand?” Jody asked and Dan nodded.
“Good boy. I just want you to keep talk to me. It will be easier to ignore those creepy voices that freak you out.”

The test started. The lines were moving slowly over the screen that Jody was examined.

“So, you play lacrosse, eh?” Jody asked.

“Yeah…” Dan answered.

“Which position do you play? Winger?” Jody asked again.

“How can you tell?” Dan asked.

“Just a lucky guess. I was right, didn’t I?” Jody said with a smile on her face.

“Yeah…” Dan smiled and answered.

“So… do you have any siblings; Brothers or sisters?” Jody asked; her eyes fixed upon the screen, and the lines moves up and down.

“No…no… I’m the only child.” Dan answered.

“Oh, really… I got a little brother. He’s about your age. Yeah, he’s turning to 16 this year.” Jody said and smiled; she took a look at Dan’s face.

“Really? Is it… well…. Good to have siblings around you? I mean, having a bigger family and whole?” Dan asked.

“Well… I do not know how to answer… he is nineteen years younger than I am, so I didn’t spend much time with him like brother-sister, it was more like… well… Nick is brother cross son to me.” Jody answered.

“Nick? Is it his name?” Dan asked.

“Yeah… I personally don’t like that name. It does sounds like Old Nick.” Jody answered and smiled for a moment and continued. “But, thanks god, he’s a good boy.”

Dan laughed for a while and silence.

“The others are saying that you are Doctor House’s friend….” Dan spoke.

“What? Oh, Greg… yeh… my colleague and old mate,” Jody said with a little smile.

“Umm… is he a good person?” Dan asked.

“Well… he’s a good doctor, very talented. Why do you ask?” Jody said.

“I was just curious. What happened to his leg?” Dan asked.

“Umm…. He… he had an infarction.” Jody answered.

“A heart attack?” Dan asked.

“No, that happens when the blood flow stuck inside your heart, but he had one on his leg.” Jody answered and paused for a moment. “And… well… please don’t mention this thing to Dr. House. He… he really doesn’t want to talk about it much.”

“Oh… okay…” Dan said.

“How long have you been working here?” Dan asked; broke the silence.

“Me? About four years.” Jody answered.

“Then what did you do before?” Dan asked.

“Well… I went to college when I was 14, when to university when I was 18, to medical school when I was 22, went to resistance when I was 24, and did an intern course for 6 years, and worked at the uni. For a year and decided to become a doctor.” Jody answered again.

“You… you went to college when you were 14? That’s kinda young to go to college isn’t it?” Dan asked again; sounds a bit surprised.

“Well… the others are usually stayed at their high school ’Cause they like it. But I didn’t.” Jody answered and stared at Dan for a moment.

“Umm…. I never hear about that…” Dan didn’t say anything for a moment.

“Well, I told you nearly every personal thing, so how about you, anything special personal thing, about your parents or anything at all?” Jody asked.

“Not really… I heard something like the people are betting on me and my dad. Something like he’s my real dad or something like that….” Dan said in furious voice.

“Oh… about that…. forget it… they are just being silly. Doctor House always says something silly.” Jody said.

“Yeah……” Dan said and fell silence.

“Dr……Dr….. Dr. Robinson……” After a long while, Dan muttered; and he made a wry face. Pain across his face and his eyes started to shiver.

“What? What is it? The voices again??” Jody said and looked up at the screen. The line was moving normally. “That’s… that’s just weird….. Wait…”

Jody ran toward to Dan and grab both his arm, and faced Dan; eye-to-eye.

“Dan! Dan! Listen to me. Please….” Jody said and Dan froze. “Can you… can you tell me what the voices are saying?”

“They… they want me…. Want me to give up….. Give up on me….. They are saying… they are saying this is not gonna work……” Dan sobbed and started to shake himself.

“Listen to me Dan. Me, don’t listen to that crap that the dumb voices are saying…. Just… just trying to be relaxed…. Just keep talk to me, Dan. Whatever it is…. whatever it is just ignore those voices and listen and talk to me….. Please….” Jody said; it sounded nearly begging, and Dan nodded. “Alright… I will page someone…. Can you… can you hold on to it?”

Jody ran up to the monitor where she could reach her pager and page someone who she could think of firstly.

‘—Dr. Robert Chase—‘ was on the screen of Jody’s pager.

Jody’s page went off and she ran back to Dan who was moving painfully and slowly.
His eyes were full of tears and unfocused.

“Dan…. Please… hold on to it…. Relax…. Breath slowly…..” Jody said and held on to Dan’s hand which was shaking.

Dan tried to breath; hardly, and slowly, but his eyes still unfocused and Dan was shivering, still.

After a while, Dr. Chase appeared from the door, accompanied with Cameron and Foreman.

***********************************************************

“What did you just do?” Jody asked; Greg House was limping out of the lab where his team was waiting for the result.

“What?” Greg said and pulled out his pills.

“The coffee cups?” Jody asked and kept on walk.

“Oh… I asked Cameron to run a DNA test. She was really board.” Greg said; popped his pills into his mouth.

“Do you have any idea how much that would cost? You can’t order a $3,200 DNA test to win a bet.” Jody asked again.

“Well… if I win a bet, it will be no problem at all. Actually it’s not the actual cost for it. This hospital got its own machine, you know.” Greg paused and continued. “Well…let me see… Well now, there’s the $100 Cuddy owe me, there’s the $100 I won from Cameron, $200 I took off of Foreman, and $600 I got from Wilson, very bitter.”

“Alright, then, I will bet the both parents are not real parents of Dan. $100,” Jody said.

“Seriously?” Greg asked with a surprising on his lined face.

“Yeah…. But if I win, you’ve got to get the money doubled.” Jody answered surely.

“Well… it’s pretty interesting…. I never knew you are this interest in false paternity….” Greg said but interrupted by a mid-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of Jody and Greg’s way; he looked furious a little and looked between Jody and Greg curiously.

“Dr. House?” The man spoke.

”Hey, Mr. Funsten! I was wondering when you’d be back. Got some papers for me?” Greg said with a smile on his face.

”You’ve caused me considerable mental distress.” The guy, Mr. Funsten said.

”I certainly hope so.” Greg said and Mr. Funsten handed him a small envelope. “What? Too cheep to have your lawyer serve it for you, or is it more fun this way?”

”I’m obviously prepared to consider a settlement.” Mr. Funsten said.

”You have gonorrhea.” Greg defined it without any serious look at Mr. Funsten who was now blushed for some reason.

”No, I don’t!” Mr. Funsten barked.

”Well, maybe you’re right, but I have a lab result that says you do. It could be a false positive; normally I’d run a second test, but since you’re here I’ll just go with the first.” Greg said; he rolled his eyes a bit and looked at Mr. Funsten who was looking a bit furious now.

”You’re just trying to scare me.” Mr. Funsten said.

”It’s reportable you know, public health issue.” Greg answered back.

”I’ll be sure to let my wife know.” Mr. Funsten said.

“Oh, don’t bother yourself; the state will call for you. Look, if you’re clean I’m sure this will all blow over, no big deal. There’s an easy way to find out, get one of your doctors run a test.” Greg said; a smile on his face.

Mr. Funsten tried to grab the paper, but Greg snatched it so Mr. Funsten couldn’t reach it out. And he walked up to the elevator which just opened.

“Uh-uh. These are mine now. I’ll see you in court.” Greg said and the elevator door shut on Mr. Funsten’s furious face.

“That guy has sued half the doctors in Maplewood and the rest are now refusing to treat him. It’s ironic, isn’t it?” Greg asked; Jody was about to ask what was that about.

“Maplewood? That’s 70 miles from here. And he must have been passed two hospitals on the road. May be he has a problem with those hospitals, or they have a problem with him.” Jody said and nodded. “That is just weird. The patients always say something about the doctors when they couldn’t figure out what the hell is wrong with their own bodies. It’s just wrong.”

************************************************************

“Dr. House, you were right, Dan’s dad isn’t his real dad…” Cameron reported to Greg who was in his office.

“Yeah… see? Told you…” Greg smiled and looked at Foreman and Jody.

“….. And…. His mum isn’t his mother, either.” Chase said.
“Ha! So that would be $200, Dr. House….” Jody giggled; crossed her arm over her chest and looked and Greg who was pretty exhausted looking after the news.

“What’s… what’s going on?” Cameron asked.

“I went for Dan’s dad and mum isn’t his real dad and mum. And I made it doubled.” Jody said with a proud smile on her face.

“Hey, hey…. This changes everything…. Where are does idiot parents?” Greg said and stood up.

“On Dr. Cuddy’s office. I’ve heard that the parents are going to transfer their son to other hospital.” Jody said and looked up at Greg House.

Part 3
Greetings!!! It must have been a long way down here....
Nearly there... This is the last part.... Go for it!!! :)
___________________________________________________

“An infant picks up a regular old measles virus. He gets a rash, he’s extremely uncomfortable, has a wicked fever, but he lives. Here’s the kicker, once every million or so times, the virus mutates. Instead of Dan having a fever and a rash the virus travels to his brain and hides like a time bomb. In this case for 16 years.” Greg said to the people inside his office.

Greg went to Cuddy’s office and talk to Dan’s parents about Dan’s biological mother.

“Sub-acute Sclerosing Pan-encephalitis.” Jody said.

“I know. There’s only been 20 cases in the United States in the past 30 years.” Greg said with a nod.

“I suppose you could make an argument that the kid’s still in stage one. Once SSPE moves to stage two…..” Foreman interrupted by Jody.

“Boom, stage two is universally fatal.”

“I assume it’s impossible to tell when he might move into stage two.” Cameron argued.

“He’s already started showing symptoms. It could be a month, it could be tonight.” Greg said.

“Can we treat it?” Cameron asked; she seems worried whether it’s too late.

“Intraventricular interferon.” Jody said.

“We’re not gonna shove a spike into his brain and drip interferon without confirming this diagnosis.” Chase said.

“Tap him.” Greg said.

“We won’t get a reliable result for measles antibodies in his CSF, not after everything we’ve given him.” Foreman said.

“So the wrong treatment kills any hope of the right diagnosis.” Jody said with a hopeless voice.

“Why do people lie to me? It could also kill him. Your ball, Robinson, tell me I don’t have to biopsy his brain.” Greg said and sighed.

“Well, there is one other way if you don’t want to biopsy poor boy’s brain. The needle can travels to the back of the eye which is where we perform the biopsy on his retina. So we can confirm that mutated virus.” Jody said and looked up.

“The treatment for SSPE is intra-ventricular interferon, I like it. Let’s start it then,” Greg said cheerfully and left.

*******************************************************

“Look, you want us to consent to this? I don’t even understand what you’re talking about.” Dan’s dad asked to Jody and Foreman who were talking about Dan’s operation.

“Well, the antiviral…Look, I’m sorry, I can explain this as best I can, but the notion that you’re gonna fully understand your son’s treatment and make an informed decision, is, it’s kinda insane.” Foreman said.

“Now, here’s what you need to know, it’s dangerous, it could kill him, you should do it.” Jody finished Foreman’s sentence.


Next day of the operation, Dan woke up in the morning.

“Hey, good morning.” Cameron greeted Dan who were just waking up.

“Good news on your EEG, treatment is working, and your immune system is responding.” Jody said; she stood next to Cameron and smiled at Dan.

“I know it’s early, but let me take a look. Let’s see what that brain of yours can do. Name as many animals as you can that start with the letter “O””

“Ostrich, ox, old elephant.” Dan answered.

“Well, that’s 2 better then last time. How you doing with the whole adoption thing?” Jody asked Dan.

“I knew since 5th grade. Cleft chin. I have one, my dad doesn’t. I looked it up on the Internet; it’s one of those trait things.” Dan answered.

“That’s right, it’s autosomal dominant. Since neither of your parents have cleft chins, it’s highly unlikely that you’re biologically related. And that’s how I figure out, too.” Jody said with a smile and Dan looked up at Jody with a bit of surprising.

“You sure you’re okay?” Cameron asked.

“I’ve got no problems with being adopted. I love my parents.” Dan answered and smiled.

“He’s doing pretty well. He’s a smart kid. I think he’s gonna be fine.” Jody answered with a smile on her face.
Dan’s dad smiled and hugged his son. Jody and the doctors got out of the room quietly.

THE END
