1 Double the Trouble
"Okay, so get an MRI and check for lupus, just in case." House wrapped up his meeting with the team and was just about to head into his office when the phone rang, he walked back over to it, and sighed when he read the caller ID:
Callum House,
England.
"Hello." House answered.
"Hi, Greg. What's new?"
House was still surprised that his brother was calling him, so he took a moment to respond'
"Nothing much, Cal, but shouldn't I be asking you that question, you haven't called in a month!"
"Sorry, little brother." Callum said mockingly. House glared dangerously at the phone, which he knew was pointless, it's not like his brother could see him or anything.
On cue, Callum snickered. "Stop glaring at the phone, Gregory" He mocked..
"How did you- you know what, never mind." Sometimes they knew each other too well "So let me ask again, Callum, why did you call? I highly doubt it was just to chat." House snarked. By now, all three of the ducklings were interested. Cameron leaned forwards in her chair slightly, Chase stooped chewing his pencil and looked up from his crossword, and Foreman merely raised an eyebrow.
Callum answered House's question, a grin evident in his voice, "Just thought I'd give you a 24 hour heads up to let you prepare your home for my visit."
House yelled into the phone, " So you just tell me like that huh? No warning?" He paused, voice calm now, "That's so very... you."
" I assume I'll be staying with you?" It was more of a statement then a question.
" You know what they say about assuming- Callum cut him off,
"Yeah, Yeah. I'm staying with you whether you like it or not."
"Fine." Said House, exasperated.
"Good boy, listening to your older brother." Chuckled Callum.
"Bye Cal!" House declared, annoyed but before hanging up he said, " And being 5 minutes younger does not make me little." He slammed the phone down, hard, and turned around to see his team staring at him. " You've got something to say, say it." He said.
Cameron was the one brave enough to speak up, while the other two got up and left to do what House told them to do.
"Who was that?" She asked curiously.
"My brother," House stated.
"You told me you were an only child!" Exclaimed Cameron.
"Did I? What I meant was that my mother only got pregnant once. Oh, well." House shrugged, and walked out of his office, heading to warn Wilson and Cuddy, especially Cuddy, who had no knowledge of his sibling, about his brothers arrival (wouldn't want people to think they were seeing double.), leaving Cameron behind to contemplate what he just said, it finally clicked, and she blinked, mouth hung open. 'Oh god, there's two of him.'
