Chapter One: The Test
Lisa Cuddy stared at wall, wondering what she should do next. It had only been 10 minutes since she read that life changing pregnancy test. She was pregnant. Finally, finally, finally pregnant. It had been so long, so many miscarriages.. She couldn't make herself comprehend that it was true. And with House's baby. HOUSE. The man she thought she hated with a passion. The man who talked about her breasts so freely as if they were a pair of pants. The man who drove her to drink. Literally, there was more than one occasion where she came home and popped open that vodka. God, she could go for some right now. No. She was pregnant, no more nights of vodka and Boy Meets World re-runs.
I have to call him, she thought.
She slowly picked up the phone, her hand trembling in anticipation. Looking through her phone book was unnecessary, his number was tattooed on her heart.
"What?" House grumbled into his phone.
"It's me."
"Amy? I know last night was good, but you're a hooker and I don't date hookers, I only pay them."
"It's Lisa." She couldn't keep that smile from sliding onto her face.
"Lisa? What? It's my day off, and it's 8 in the morning. I'm not coming in."
"I'm not at the hospital."
"Then why are you calling me?"
"I'm pregnant." Tears of happiness slowly fell down her beautiful face, accentuating her blue eyes.
"Wait. Wh-why are you calling me to let me know? It's not.. not mine right?" He stuttered, which was infrequent.
"I haven't slept with anyone else in a year, House."
"Are you sure? Those damn pregnancy tests never work."
"I did it 4 times."
"I.. I.. I'll talk to you tomorrow." He hung up on her, forcing her to celebrate by herself.
