-1The Easiest Decision

Hello, this is my first chapter story that I've posted. Hope you like it. It's an attempt at what House would be like if he had a child but with a little twist, she's her little sister! That's right House is a big brother! Altogether now, aahhh! A chance to see the softer side of House.

And as always I don't own House, if so it would be HUDDY all the way! But thanks for the writers for giving us such great characters. And the actors for doing such a great job with them, especially Hugh Laurie! Rule Britannia!

Anyway back to the story, just a short chapter to start you off, and reviews are much loved and criticism is inevitable I guess. Should I continue???

Chapter 1- Speechless For Once

19th January 1989- New York, New York, USA

Gregory House was a man who wasn't shocked easily. Though he had dealt with death in his job and dealt with abuse in his childhood and dealt with stupid people every damn day of his life. So it took a lot to shock him, but it happened one day. And it was for a reason that would affect his life forever.

"Gregory, we have something we need to tell you." Blythe House sat down at her son's table. His apartment in the big, bad New York City was cosy, it fitted him well, enough room for one which is all he needed.

"Let me guess you've decided to take the plunge and get married." House joked as he placed drinks down on the table for his parents. He knew it must be serious. His father's face was firm but it always was, his mother's usual smile though was gone. Blythe rolled her eyes and John House let the barb roll off, he had gotten used to it after 29 years of trying to verbally battle with his son, he had learnt early on though that he would never win. Father and son didn't have the best relationship.

"Gregory this is serious." Blythe said sternly. House nodded to let her carry on.

"I'm pregnant." Blythe replied. House's mouth dropped open and he stared at the wall between his parents, unable to look at them. It didn't take a genius to figure out they'd had House when they were young, barely 18 and already travelling on their own. John in the army, Blythe playing the young housewife but fitting in nicely with the other base moms.

So at 48, not impossible but highly unlikely, they were having another child and Gregory House would become a big brother for the very first time at 30.

"Gregory. Are you gonna say anything?" Blythe asked.

"S-s-so you're having a err bab-baby? You sure you're not just umm imagining it?" House stuttered in disbelief. Blythe smiled, it was extremely rare her son was speechless, she could in fact count the number of times she had seen it, on only one hand. And she had seen the most.

"Nope, we've gone to a Doctor-"

"Which one?" House interrupted. Though he now lived in New York, he could remember all those people who called themselves doctors in his parents hometown of Eldridge, Ohio.

"Benson."

"Benson. That man couldn't find his patient's heart even with a map."

"Gregory. We've had it checked many times, I'm having a baby." Blythe explained.

His father had been silent the whole time, he had only retired from the army recently and didn't like it. His whole life had been the army, every House man five generations back had gone into the army, but that had stopped with John's son and he wasn't proud of that little fact.

And now with a baby coming along, this would definitely turn their world upside down.
