AN: *Cracks Knuckles* All right! This is my first House MD fan-fiction and I just recently got into the show. Which means I'm still on season two sadly. So! I would like to have no spoilers in the comments. (I HATE SPOILERS.) Now please enjoy!

I stood in front of the door to Dr. House's home. My mother always said if anything happened to her I should come here. My mother died in a car crash earlier this evening. So now I'm standing by this door and considering ringing the doorbell. Of course my social anxiety is making it almost impossible to ring the bell but unfortunately I have no other option. I took a deep breath and rung the bell. In the back of my mind I hoped he wasn't home but a few seconds later the door opened.

"Are you lost?" Asked the man that opened the door. I could tell he wasn't Dr. House. mother always said that House was a rude son of a bitch and this man wasn't.

"Is Dr. House home?" I asked and deflected his question.

"Does he know you?" the nice man asked.

"Kinda... He knows my mother." I said.

Another man appeared behind the nice one. "Who's your mother?" asked the new man.

"House..." grumbled the nice man.

"Laura Lockwood." I said to House. I could tell House recognized the name. "She said If anything ever happened to her I should come here and give you this." I said and took out a letter. I handed the letter to House. He opened the letter. I shivered. It was getting cold outside and being the scrawny 16 year old boy I was didn't help at all. The nice man let me inside as House sat down to read the letter. "What's your name?" I asked the nice man.

"I'm Dr. Wilson." The nice man said.

I nodded. House finished reading the letter. "Why should I believe this?" House asked and put the letter aside.

I took off my backpack and looked though it. "She also said if you didn't think it was true I should give you this as well." I said and pulled out a small package. House opened it. It was one of my mother's old keepsakes. House held it in his hands. The keepsake was an old movie ticket to the movie Die Hard. "And as a last resort she said a DNA test might help as well." I finished and looked over at Wilson who was looking at the letter.

House snatched the letter out of Wilson's hands. "No look." He said. Wilson mumbled something about having to go home and then left. Now I was alone with House. The man who's my father. I was freaked out. Not to mention the fact that mother died only a few hours ago. I started to think about it for the first time since it happened. I fought back tears. I didn't need to break down in front of House. I glanced at the clock. It was around 6:30 PM. I had expected some sort of reaction from House by now. "What's your name?" He asked.

"It's Alec." I said.

"What happened to Laura then?" House asked and stared at me.

I could feel a lump in my throat. "She uh... Car crash..." I fumbled over my words. I really didn't want to talk about this.

"And you have no other family?" He asked.

"No." I mumbled.

House stood up and grabbed his coat. He was almost out the door when he looked back at me. "Well, come on. It's DNA test time!" He said and limped over to his car. I quietly followed him.

After the DNA samples and various other things House was driving us back to his apartment. I was still silent and I was staring out the car window. This was too much being thrown at me. My mother just died and now I've just met my father for the first time. That doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. House spoke up as we were reaching the apartment. "Guess you'll be staying with me for a while." He said.

"If you don't want me I can just leave ya know. Wouldn't bother you ever again." I said.

"As appealing as that sounds I have to keep you around until the DNA tests get back." He said.

I nodded as I got out of the car and followed House back into his home. It was around 8:00 now and I was emotionally worn out. House mumbled something about I was going to sleep on the couch. Right as my body hit the couch I fell asleep.

~HOUSE MD~

I woke to the sound of House walking into the kitchen. I noticed a blanket over me. I shoved the blanket off my body and fell off the couch. "Morning" House said from the kitchen. Groggy and disorientated I attempted to stand up. After a few seconds of stumbling I managed it get up. House walked in the living room. I looked at the clock. It was almost 10 o' clock. "Get ready and things. We've got to get to the hospital." House said and pointed at the bathroom. I grabbed my backpack which had all of my clothing in it and walked into the bathroom.

After a quick shower and other hygienic related things I rummaged in my backpack for one of my dress shirts and pants. I put my suit jacket on and looked at my self in the mirror. I had the same light blue eye color as House and had my brown hair sticking up all over the place. I brushed it a bit so it looked somewhat nicer and walked out of the bathroom. House was sitting on the couch when I got out of the bathroom. "Your dressed up nice." House said.

"I always dress like this." I said and adjusted my black tie.

"You weren't last night." He said.

"Sorry I was a bit preoccupied with my mother dying." I said and tried to contain my anger.

"Lets go." He said and didn't seem to notice how pissed off I was.

I followed House to his office. I set my backpack down and took out my sketchbook. I walked into the differential room with House. The 3 other doctors stared at me. "Who's this?" asked the woman.

"My son." House said and tried to start a differential on a patent.

"You have a son?" asked the blond man.

"Yes, long story. Now can we continue?" House asked.

As they were talking about the patent I started drawing. after a while all of the other doctors left to do things House told then to do. House peaked over my shoulder to see my drawing. I was almost finished. I added the finishing touches and looked up at House. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He said and walked into his office.

I looked at my finished product. It was a drawing of my old golden retriever Rockie. "It's my old dog." I said and followed him.

"You like animals then?" House asked as he was looking at his computer.

"Yeah." I said and smiled for a second.

"You're 16 right?" He asked. I nodded. "Where do you go to school then?" House asked.

"Currently nowhere. I graduated from high school last year." I said.

"But your 16." He said and looked up from his computer.

"I got to skip a few grades in elementary school and I was still smarter then most of my grade." I said.

"What about collage then?" He asked.

"I applied to a few places but never got an answer back from them." I mumbled.

"Did you apply here at Princeton?" House asked.

"Yeah it was my top choice." I said.

"I'll look into it." House said.

"Okay, I'm going to take a walk outside." I said.

House only nodded in response.

AN: I know I kinda cut it off in a weird place but I wanted to post the first chapter! Reviews would be very kind! :D
