Milieux Medical Center (MMC), Sunday (10/14)

House was looking really worn down now. The staff were useless to bounce diagnoses off of, the idiot in exam room one was no fun at all, and... he was rather afraid he'd have to call in Cameron. That was not a prospect he enjoyed at all.

Exam Room 1 - Samuel T. Anders

The big baby.

Sam was conscious now.

More than slightly panicky, too, which was probably not helping his chances of recovery.

If he'd noticed that he might be recovering a little faster than he really should, well . . . the panic knocked that right back out of him.

Phoebe had slipped in, needing to see him. When she saw he was conscious, she went closer and touched his hand.

"A-Anders. You need to relax."

"Phoebe?" His voice was rough and it hurt a bit to speak, but he tried to curl his fingers around her hand. "Baby . . . 'm sorry I didn't make it to see you last night."

Phoebe shook her head and squeezed his hand gently. "Don't apologize. You were... hurt. Please don't feel bad that you didn't make it to the house."

"Supposed to be there for you," he insisted, wincing as he tried to sit up further and his broken ribs protested. "Swore I wasn't gonna break my promise. Wouldn't have -- don't even know how I made it here. He wanted me to die."

"Who, Anders? Who attacked you?" She placed a hand gently on his shoulder. "Please, lay down. You didn't die on me. You kept your promise."

"Don't know," Sam said, settling reluctantly back against the pillows. "Some demon -- had to be, he was strong. Really strong. Couldn't see him, he kicked dirt into my eyes. Stabbed me in the stomach."

He laughed bitterly. "Hell of a job I'm going to be able to do of taking care of you now, broken this way."

House peered in to the exam room.

"You know, I don't remember authorizing any visitors," he said.

Phoebe wasn't letting go of Anders's hand. "He won't calm down without talking to me."

Re: Exam Room 1 - Samuel T. Anders

"I'm not letting her leave, either," Sam said as stubbornly as he could while groggy, in pain, and medicated to the teeth.

Which was still fairly stubborn.

"We have drugs to knock him out, if it's really necessary," House said. "And if I let you stick around too long, you might get him all excited again in his no-no place, and he has enough issues with his blood flow as it is."

Re: Exam Room 1 - Samuel T. Anders

[sleepswthdemons]

Phoebe's jaw dropped. "Excuse me? He needs to talk to me and tell me what happened and he has a lot more self-control than to get an erection just because I'm nearby!"

Re: Exam Room 1 - Samuel T. Anders

[beenthroughthat]

"Drugs kill self-control," Sam said before he could stop himself -- thereby proving his own statement correct.

"Look, if he remembers the license plate on the rhino that gored him, I'll let you..." House paused. "No, no... how about this. I'll cut you a deal."
