Disclaimer: No, I don't own House. At all. If I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfiction about him. Thanks "Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved." for the definition of Prelude as according to my Microsoft Works dictionary.
Notes: So, this is my third House fanfic, but only the second I've submitted here. I'm still working the other, which sort of ties in with Innocence. Anyways, I love to receive feedback because...I'm always looking to improve myself and my writing. Raters and reviewers are my new best friends! But yeah, excuse the extreme shortness here. I got what I wanted to down, and this is sort of a prologue.
prelude . an event or action that introduces or precedes something else, especially something longer and more important
"It...looks like you're pregnant. Congratulations!" Cameron grinned at the young woman sitting in front of her, a nervous wreck.
"No...this can't be happening. I...have to go."
The woman stood up and stumbled on her way out. Cameron rushed over to help her, saddened. How could this woman not want a child, she thought with a hint of what to anyone else would have seemed to be envy, but to her was mere longing. With her late husband, she had learned that she was infertile, but she was coping.
Cameron turned to watch as her patient exited the examination room. Seconds later, Cuddy entered the room with a stiff posture and cloudy eyes.
"Hello, Cuddy. Is something the matter?" Cameron inquired curtly.
"It's House. He's...here. He was involved in a potentially fatal accident, Cameron."
The air surrounding Cameron thickened; creeping through her lungs like swirling black smoke. The room spun before her, and before she could catch herself, her head hit the cold, white linoleum with a thud.
