Author's Note: I thought about writing something cute so here is House trying to be a father. :)! I still do not own House or the characters.

A voice broke the silence and peace of the night. Why it didn't call for Cuddy was a complete mystery to him and still it called.

"Howse? Howse? Howse?" The voice cried.

House sighed and rubbed his leg in an attempt to reduce the pain. He got up slowly walked to Rachel's room.

"What does the broken alarm clock want?" House said in a sour sarcastic tone.

"I had a nightmare." Rachel complained.

House sighed and tried to think of a nice unsarcastic response to the little girl's complaint.

Eventually he settled on, "And you know that nightmares aren't real and they can't hurt you and if they did, me and mommy will be there to stop it."

"I know they aren't real. I'm still scared though."

"Fear is irrational and you are strong and smart. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. You don't have to be afraid. Okay?"

"Kay."

"And besides I got a secret weapon that can take down any monster." House said smiling raising his cane.

"Kay."

"Please go back to sleep okay and if you need anything next time, call for mommy."

"Okay, dad."

House's heart skipped a beat and he smirked and laughed. It was really strange being called dad.
