The night had been rough for Cuddy. While House was snoring himself away, she was there beside him with eyes open wide, glancing at the nightstand clock every ten 분 until the alarm set on. She lifted herself up and does her routine stuff for the morning. It was painful for her to 옮기기 but she managed to cook their breakfast, all she hoped for was House not to see her in agony. She went back in the bedroom when she heard the 샤워 was turned on. This is the good time to look at herself in the mirror which she did. She lifted her 셔츠 up for her to see her tummy while standing sideward in front of the mirror.
“What are 당신 doing?” House asked as he stood 의해 the bathroom doorway. In her surprise, Cuddy pulled her 셔츠 down in an instant before fixing his clothes without meeting his gaze.
“Hmm, nothing, I just figured I think I am growing some weighs for the past days,” she reasoned out.
“Oh,” he replied, “you really think 당신 are?” There was no answer. He eyed her movements as she walk towards him bringing him his clothes to wear. “You’re ready?” she asked with a smile.
“I am,” he answered while getting the clothes from her hands before giving Cuddy a quick 키스 on the lips.
“It’s your first 일 back, don’t screw this up.”
“Who told 당신 I would?” He smirked as she forced another smile. House began to undo his 옷, 가운 before putting his pants on as Cuddy turned to watch him. She was just standing there doing nothing when he came to noticed she doesn’t seem like she’s into working today. “You’re not coming with?” he asked again while putting on his 셔츠 on 상단, 맨 위로 of a white semi-loose fit tee.
“I am,” she said while walking towards him again, “your collars, let me.” She started fixing the piece of clothing that wasn’t pleasing to her sight as he stood straight before her, letting her do the ‘wifey’ thing.
“I haven’t seen 당신 come in the shower,” he said while looking at her averting eyes.
“I will, just give me a minute, okay?”
“Okay.” She let her palm rest on her chest before finally looking up to meet his piercing blue yes. She wanted to turn her head away but the stares were something she doesn’t want to miss everyday of her life and this moment isn’t spared from that. “Anything bothering you?” he asked while lifting her chin up as she began trying to look away.
Cuddy gave out a sigh before saying, “yah. Don’t wait for me. I’ll be late for a couple of hours I think. Tammy won’t be here early as usual, her mom’s sick. 당신 go leave first.”
“Are 당신 sure? How can 당신 get to the hospital? I won’t let 당신 take the bus for heavensake.”
“House, I’ll be fine.”
“Just give me a call and I’ll drive in to fetch 당신 back.”
“Haven’t I said I’ll be fine?” she asked before House gave out a sigh. “I will,” Cuddy reassured him again, “I don’t want 당신 to be going out during business hours especially on your first 일 back.” She pulled herself away from him and began walking out the bedroom as he was left giving out a heavy sigh.
Wilson walked in the clinic three hours later. He stopped for awhile before turning the doorknob and finally opening wide the office he least wanted himself to be. He started walking towards Cuddy’s 책상, 데스크 as she looked up from the file she’s 읽기 and signing to see him. He handed her the file to her without meeting her stares, “34 년 old male with cancer cells in the liver. I need consent to perform a liver biopsy.” The oncologist said it with an unusual monotonous voice the dean had never heard from him. No emotion at all, just plain speaking. Cuddy knows this is Wilson way of dealing with her abortion decision and this is unnerving her to death.
“Wilson,” she finally uttered his name as he walked out the door after she signed the consent form. He stopped 의해 the door without letting the doorknob go away from his grip as he turned to face her, “I didn’t do it.”
“Didn’t do what?” he asked still deflecting.
“Oh don’t be like that, 당신 know what I mean.” As he gave out a sigh, the madness (if that’s what it is) was also moving out of his system as he began walking back to where he stood earlier. “I assume you’re still pregnant with House’s baby...with your baby?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“What did he say about it? Any further plans?”
“I haven’t told him,” she confessed that made the oncologist almost faint in disbelief again. What the hell is this woman waiting for? he thought and said, “of course.”
“But I will, okay?” Cuddy immediately back up her 이전 words, “I’m just easing things between us. Who knows, maybe after 당신 left, he’ll be here and learn about his fatherhood.” Wilson tilted his head and said, “works for me but are 당신 saying he hasn’t been here since he got in?”
“He was the first one who came in. I was late today. Intentionally late.”
“Morning sickness?”
“Not really. Tammy called and said her mom’s sick so I have to attend Rachel for awhile.”
“So who’s with Rachel right now?”
“I brought her in with me.” Wilson looked around but see no 한쪽에 포장이 달린 요람, 요람 in the office. “Not here,” Cuddy said with a roll in her eyes, “in the nursery.” The oncologist smiled and said, “working mom, huh? You’ll be glad to have another in a few months.” The dean smiled back and watched him walked to the door.
“Hey,” she called out again that made Wilson turned to face her for the 초 time. “Have 당신 seen him around?” That’s when he realized that the diagnostician hadn’t met up with him since the business 일 had started. 의해 the way he looks, Cuddy knew the answer was a no so she added, “he’ll be looking for 당신 before he does to me, so if that happens, tell him to see me.”
“Sure,” he answered with a smile before pulling the door open and leaving the clinic still thinking where House really is.
But where is really House? Seriously, where is he? Oh yah, he’s there taking up a 좌석 across a woman he knew for 16 years. “Make this fast, I’m saving lives here,” he said without meeting Stacy’s eyes the moment he was fully seated in a fancy café a few blocks away from Princeton-Plainsboro. A waiter approached their 표, 테이블 and offered to pour some wine in his glass but he replied, “no thanks. I don’t want ‘my’ wife smells me like I went out for some drinks with just a friend.” Annoyed, Stacy arched one eyebrow as the waiter looked at her thinking she’s a home-wrecker 또는 something before trailing off.
“Greg, this isn’t about us,” she finally said, “this is about Cassandra.”
“Right,” House said while widening his eyes in annoyance too, “this is about the little girl whom 당신 pointed out as my daughter.”
“Because she is.”
“Uh-huh but in case 당신 forgot, 당신 are married, 당신 have a husband and even if 당신 do not have one, it isn’t a hundred percent sure that’s its mine because I know how horny 당신 get and 당신 could sleep with anybody 당신 like.”
“Fine, say all smuts 당신 wanted to say about me but Casey have every legal right to ---“
“Legal?” he cute her off, “the word that 당신 used is really…hmm…too courty I guess. But sorry, I don’t speak your language, 당신 see I’m a doctor, I use words like...paternity test.”
“Then we’ll have it. When do 당신 want? I’m sure Lisa doesn’t mind ----“
“Don’t 당신 dare put out Cuddy’s name in this.” His face was serious, an aura Stacy doesn’t want to see again for the rest of her life, and his stern voice spoke how protective he was for Cuddy. “I am not,” the lawyer finally said after having a wordless 분 with her former boyfriend, “all Casey wanted to have is a 일 with you, Greg,” the last words were said in a whispery tone that House could barely hear it but he knew those were the words she said.
“She isn’t dying, is she?”
“Go to hell.”
“Pretty sure that’s where I’m going,” he joked before another 분 of silence followed. Stacy leaned 앞으로 with arms crossed on her side of the table.
“You won’t lose anything if 당신 go out for a 일 with her, fine, not even a day. Maybe just an afternoon at the park 또는 something,” there was some seriousness House could see in her eyes as she talked and continue, “I know 당신 hate things like that but this is your daughter asking not even your whole life. Just give her one 일 to be happy. To feel she have a father.”
“Tell me about it.” Stacy sighed before saying, “Mark…knew he isn’t Casey’s father. I told him I’m pregnant the moment we reached our house in short hills because before we left this city, I took a test and that was it. He knew that it was impossible for me to get pregnant since we aren’t having sex, 당신 know that but he accepted it and had loved her like his own but things didn’t work between us. We separated and divorce lawyers had been hired. My own stupidity brought Casey this burden when I took her to one of the sessions. Mark’s legal and biological connections were brought out and that’s when Casey learned she isn’t her dad’s. I’ve been trying to bring back the jolly daughter I knew but I can’t until one 일 she came to me and asked about who her real father is…”
House handed her a tissue to wipe her tears away. Some parts of him wanted to believe her but the rest joined the opposite. “So,” he said, “she’s really mine?”
“Paternity test had been planned.” House sighed and leaned back on his chair while watching Stacy clear her eyes again. His pager beeped and he looked down to read it before getting up and was about to leave.
“Greg…”
He turned and said, “one o’clock this afternoon at the park it is,” then Stacy watched him leave her sight as he got in Cuddy’s car and went off.
“What are 당신 doing?” House asked as he stood 의해 the bathroom doorway. In her surprise, Cuddy pulled her 셔츠 down in an instant before fixing his clothes without meeting his gaze.
“Hmm, nothing, I just figured I think I am growing some weighs for the past days,” she reasoned out.
