As House was reaching his office there was a very angry looking woman sitting at his desk.

"I told 당신 not to hurt her."

"I believe 당신 are in the wrong place and shouting at the wrong person." "She dumped me." Technically, "I am the one that got hurt."

"Really." That is your stance on this matter. 당신 smuck.
So 당신 had nothing to do with this? 당신 did nothing at all? That's true actually.
Lisa was having surgery and 당신 were too busy worrying about how this affected you.
She needed someone to hold her hand, help her with her fears. Where were you!?

I held her hand. I was there!!!!!

I heard. I also heard 당신 had to take narcotics to be there.

Comforting is not one of my strong points.

Ah, "so 당신 have a strong point!?" I would be interested in knowing what that would be.


I've went over this. I know what I did and I am also aware of what I lost. I thought she was dying!!! I couldn't stop it!!! I couldn't help her!!!! I thought I was going to lose..... Look
I realize this pain in my chest is not going away and that I deserve every bit of it. Apparently the pain in my head is not going away either since 당신 are still sitting at my desk!!!!

"I was wrong!!!!" I was wrong and I 로스트 her. Its my fault. I failed her. "Leave me alone!!!!!" "Look", I'd 사랑 to play emotional,"ping pong" all 일 but I have a job to do.

"Not for long."

With that House went and began the differential with his team.

The team was sitting in the 다음 room listening to what was being said. As House walked in he began passing out the folders containing the information for the 다음 case.

He read the symptoms aloud and sent each member to their destination to begin tests.

"House sat there in his office and thought back to what Thirteen had said." He shut down at any serious emotional involvement. He couldn't express "normal feelings of grief, sadness, 또는 pain.

"Even 로스트 in thought he could sense when she was in the room."

"Cuddy walked in and cleared her throat."

He looked at her as she began telling him that her mom was suing the hospital. 더 많이 importantly this would put their medical licenses in jeopardy. We are in trouble House.

She's your mother. Can't 당신 deal with her? Oh that is right. 당신 need me to do that.

"You seriously think I can do anything to stop her?"

No I don't think 당신 can do anything. If 당신 could have this would not be a problem, "now would it?"

"You had to goad her and be arrogant with her." 당신 had to be the son of a ...... that 당신 always are.

I 사랑 this 당신 know. A relationship without sex and I get to deal with your annoying mother. I also get to put up with your self-righteous lectures. Wow how won.......

"Shut-up House." I don't have to listen to that arrogant mouth of yours anymore. After this don't worry 당신 will never have to listen to another lecture from me again. Neither of us will have a job 또는 a career. Neither of us will ever have to put up with the other one again.


Cuddy walked out of the hospital only to run into her mother. Mom, "why are 당신 doing this?" It is not just my job mom, "I could lose my license over this."

Lisa they will not 불, 화재 you. They will 불, 화재 him though if I don't get an apology and the money.

"Mom", 당신 are willing to take that risk? They are not going to let me walk out of this without any punishment mom.

Lisa, "I am in the driver's 좌석 and they will have to do what I want."

I don't want to hurt him 또는 cause him to lose his job. It was my choice mom. I broke up with him. Don't do this.

"You are still taking up for him after everything he has done."

No mom he is a great doctor. This was my fault. I knew who he was but I had to know if it would work. It isn't his fault and this will cost me my license too.

"I don't think so Lisa."

As Cuddy entered the boardroom House was there waiting. Arlene Cuddy and her lawyer arrived shortly.

Arlene Cuddy stood and looked at House and Cuddy.

The older Cuddy looked to House and Cuddy and asked if either had anything to say before she started?
She waited a moment as no one said anything.

Her lawyer stood and began. Mrs. Arlene Cuddy came into the hospital with Dr. House being her attending. As the case progressed Mrs. Cuddy asked that Dr. House be ...........
At that moment House stood and attempted to interrupt Arlene's lawyer:

"You want my resignation 당신 can have it." I resign.

House!, mom!, "Cuddy looked torn and tired", as she called out to both of them.

As House came out of the boardroom his team was waiting on him. We have found three cancers in the patient.

Pass the case to Wilson. I don't work here anymore. The team stared at each other and could hear Cuddy and her mom. They tried to stop Dr. Cuddy but she was in her own world now.

Mom don't do this, "Cuddy shouted", as she walked after her mom. Mom I don't want him to leave. I don't want his job taken away. "Why are 당신 doing this?"

Lisa, "initially the pain that your sister described 당신 being in was the reason I came here." I came to get him out of here and away from you. All I saw today was 당신 wanting to protect him and him wanting to protect you.
All these years that is all I have ever heard in all your rantings about House. 당신 still always wanted to keep him safe. Lisa 당신 have always been so smart and so responsible."You run everything with precision with no margin for error. 당신 keep your nose to the grind stone and 당신 never take big risks except for House. 당신 don't won't to make any mistakes. 당신 were with Lucas because it was logical and safe.
당신 took a risk with House and when it got a little shaky 당신 bailed out. People are not chess pieces for 당신 to 옮기기 around at will. If 당신 want 사랑 Lisa, "you don't get an edge." House was wrong and he hurt 당신 but he loves you. Lisa, "he loves you", and now there are two 질문 당신 must answer.
"The first one is do 당신 사랑 him enough to help him through this?" If there is a way to make this work honey 당신 need to take this chance. "She embraced her daughte", as she continued. 사랑 like this doesn't come along often. 당신 have to grasp it but also give it room to breathe. People make mistakes.
The 초 질문 당신 must answer is, "Was he trying to meet your needs?" Was he making progress in changing? this was a big test and h edidn't pass it. Did he really fail it though?

The phone rang and House picked it up.
The voice on the other end was inviting him to 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 and although it was against his better judgement he accepted.
On arriving at her hotel he was greeted 의해 the older Cuddy.

"So 당신 quit your job."

That is what 당신 came for isn't it? 당신 were willing to put your daughter's career in jeopardy to get even with me. Looks like that worked out for you.

When I came here I came to get 당신 fired and out of my daughter's life. When I arrived what I saw didn't match the image I had developed in my head. 당신 사랑 her. 당신 really "love" her. I am not sure 당신 have realized that yet.


"So now what", House inquired of Arlene's opinion?

"You are asking my advice?" "Have 당신 tried just talking to her from your heart?"

That is not really a strong point for me.

"I suggest it become one."

"What if she won't listen?"

House, "you are one of the most exasperating people I have ever met but your 사랑 for Lisa is genuine.

"She hates me."

"She loves you."
당신 took a vicodin, but 당신 went to that hospital thinking she was going to die. 당신 haven't put yourself in a position to get hurt very much. The walls 당신 have around 당신 to protect 당신 are pretty solid. Lisa penetrated and got inside and 당신 can't get her out now. The 질문 for 당신 is simple, "will 당신 find a way to tear down the 벽 she has built now to keep 당신 out?"

On the drive over he played and replayed everything that had happened in his mind. He was trying to form the words to say to her. He was thinking of the words her mom had said. How would he ever tear down the 벽 between them? Without a doubt he wanted to tear it down. She didn't trust anymore 또는 believe in him.

As he arrived at Cuddy's house he tapped on the door with his cane. As she looked to see who it was she already knew it was him. The tap of his cane was annoying and familiar. She opened the door hestitantly to him. There were so many emotions between the two of them. He could see the pain, the anger, and the hurt etched in her face and eyes. Those stormy gray eyes were so filled with sadness and hurt now.

House, "why are 당신 here?'

I haven't had too much practice at sincerity Cuddy. So I don't know how good I will be at it. He looked at her so torn and tired.

The sarcasm had faded from his demeanor and there was a genuine sense of loss in him.

House I ......

Cuddy I have done things to hurt you. I have used 당신 as a crutch to do any foolish thing that popped into my head. I took for granted that 당신 would always be there.
I watched your case all the way through and I couldn't stop all the thoughts and fears running through my head long enough to really be there.
I tried to..... I don't know... I took the vicodin...I couldn't make sense of it.
당신 were right Cuddy, "I do act like a child", and 당신 deserve more. I wanted to be there. I am so sorry that I hurt 당신 but I even 더 많이 sorry for the damage I did to us. .......... He lowered his head as he stood to get ready to leave.

House I don't know what to do. We tried and I needed 당신 and you....

I wasn't there. I left 당신 alone.

"As he got up to go she stood with him." She looked at him so conflicted and she grabbed for his hand. Their eyes met and they both were so torn inside.
He looked so hurt and confused to her. No matter what had happened he held a place in her 심장 that she couldn't put aside. She knew he loved her. The 질문 was, "could they work through this and did she want to?"

Cuddy I 사랑 당신 and Rachel.
He very gently put his hand on her face. This is my fault and 당신 were right to do what 당신 did. I don't want to let 당신 go Cuddy. I don't want to lose you.

The touch of his hand sent desire through her body.

Cuddy you're all I can think about. I can still feel you.
"Tears filling her eyes and her feelings overwhelming her", she dropped her head.

"You're the one Lisa Cuddy." I think I always knew that.

She looked at him, "so tenderly", 당신 are pretty good this for someone who doesn't do it very much.

Cuddy, "as he brushed his lips across hers both breathing heavily and rapidly. Moans escaping both their lips.
She took his 코트 off as he stood there staring at her.
"Fear and desire raging through both their minds equally."
She stretched up on her tip toes. "Stay with me."

He looked at her and he tried to talk but no words would come.

"Lisa I ............"

I miss 당신 House. We have to take it slower this time but tonight I need to feel 당신 다음 to me. I need 당신 to make 사랑 to me.

He loosened the tie on her 옷, 가운 and opened it and as he pushed it away from her body he leaned in to 키스 her. She began to unbutton his shirt.
She grasped for the buckle on his belt, and as she is undoing it she imagines how he feels when he is inside her. She can hardly breathe as he pulls her hips into him and she feels how much he wants her.
He made 사랑 to her over and over as they merged as one. "They had always been one", but now, 더 많이 than ever, they had found a 안전한, 안전 place for their 사랑 to be expressed.
As they both reached the height of their passion and released into each other, yet again, House began to grab both sides of his head. He looked at her for a moment as his eyes rolled back into his head.
At that moment he dropped onto the floor.
House!!!! She bends down to see what is wrong and as she does she sees blood from his ear. Oh no!! House 당신 are bleeding. I am going to call 911.
She called 마리나, 선착장 also to come and stay with Rachel.

She dressed them both as she waited for the ambulance. When it arrived she gave them information and she bent down to 키스 him. I will be there House. As soon as 마리나, 선착장 gets here. He was unconscious now. He couldn't hear her.

But as they loaded him she squeezed his hand, "House don't 당신 leave me."

마리나, 선착장 got there almost immediately after the 구급차 pulled away. She loved House and Cuddy together. 당신 go Dr. Cuddy I will take care of Ms. Rachel.
On the way to the hospital Cuddy was in touch with the hospital getting House's team in place. She ordered a MRI and let them know she was five 분 out. Do a blood test to check vicodin levels. She called Wilson and asked him to meet her in the ER.
"House please hold on", she thought to herself. "Please"
