"Let's have a baby."

Chase's head shoots straight off the pillow. "Come again James?" House asks, barely pulling his eyes away from the TV. "I think that we should consider having a child." Chase sucks on the inside of his cheek and House furrows his brow.

"Are you insane?" Wilson shrugs his shoulders "Its been on my mind for a while." "You want to bring a tiny human-a baby- into this" House asks, gesturing in a circle "I think we could do it." Wilson responds, voice cracking softly. "James…I don't want to be…negative but what adoption agency is going to let House have a child?" Chase interjects "Hey. I am very good with kids. It's just that well, we're men and there's three of us." Wilson swings his legs off the sides of the bed and heaves himself up. "Will you two just listen to me?" He pleads as he turns off the TV. "I was watching that." House grouches "Me too." Chase murmurs, face buried into his pillow.

Wilson rolls his eyes "There's an experimental drug. No adoption agencies, and the baby will be ours. Well, two of ours anyway." House purses his lips "James. I have no doubt your intentions are pure, however do you really think we are ready for this?"

"Yeah. I mean we've had our little thing here for almost two years. We aren't getting any younger Greg."

Chase rolls onto his side "James. I'm not sure that this is a good idea. Having a baby is a lot of responsibility." He says, yawning in between words and snuggling closer to House.

Greg instinctively puts his arm around their wombat.

"I know it's a lot and this is kind of sudden but I've been thinking about it for a while, ever since I heard about the trial." House and Chase exchange looks. "How about we sleep on it?" House says, hoping that this is just a phase and Wilson will have gotten over it by tomorrow.

"Yeah, yeah! Of course, this is a big decision. We all need to think about it."

Chase nods "Now come to bed Jimmy." He purrs.

It is not just a phase.

Wilson brings it up every second

Of every day

For a week.

He has subscribed to baby magazines and blogs and he's even brought up names a few times. Honestly, both Chase and House are growing a little tired of it. They try to placate James as much as possible and be good sports about the whole thing but it's starting to become a little exhausting. House actively avoids interacting with Wilson all together, hoping this baby business will blow over and Chase tries to keep him occupied with other activities. It becomes too much one night when its just Chase and Wilson in bed.

"So have you given any more thought to my suggestion?" He asks, quirking a brow. Chase groans in frustration "James. I am sitting on top of you half naked. Is now the best time to talk about this?" "Well neither of you have given me any sort of straight forward answer so…" He props himself up on his elbows. Chase rolls his eyes "Look, I don't think that House or I are ready for this right now. We love you very much, both of us- but this is a big step." The man under him sighs dejectedly "Yeah, I understand that. But if not now, when? House and I should be grandparents by now and you're about to turn 33." The aussie makes a sympathetic noise "Jimmy. Look I…What we have is fun. We love each other we have a lot of really hot sex, why complicate it?" "I'm not complicating it Robbie. I just want a little more commitment. I never had kids with any of my wives and I've always regretted it." Chase rests his head in his hands. "Alright, if I can convince House to at least go to a consultation for this new drug will you lay off of the baby talk?" Wilson's whole face lights up "Really? Yes, I swear." "Alright good. No promises but we'll check it out." Wilson pushes himself up to capture Chase's lips in a kiss "I love you, I love you, I loooove you." Chase laughs "I know" as he pushes Wilson back onto the bed.

"What?! Not you too Robert."

"Greg, will you just listen for a moment?"

House scrubs a hand over his face "You should know better than pretty much anyone that I am not daddy material." "I know. All I promised is that we would go to a consultation, just to learn more." "This is how it starts Chase. You go to that, and next thing you know you've got a minivan and a baby Bjorn." "It would mean a lot to James. I mean honestly, the doctor will probably tell us that you two are too old for the trial and send us away."

"Well excuse me."

"I didn't mean it like that."

House spins his office chair away from Chase "Don't be a child! Its one meeting." House doesn't respond. "Oh well…I guess there really is nothing I can do to convince you." Chase says as he slowly unbuttons his shirt. "You're damn right I-"

He's cut short by the sight of Chase in a tie and no shirt.

"Oh darn, how did that happen?"

"So…let me get this straight. There are three of you?" The three doctors exchange glances. "It would appear so." House answers. Doctor Connolly shrugs "Not the strangest thing I've seen." "Dr. Connolly, we are very interested in learning about the trial drug." Wilson pipes up.

"Well, Colornicol is a combination of a pill and an injection. You take them for a month which will result in minor physical and chemical changes to the body. After the month is up the patient will be able to conceive. Of course, just like with a typical pregnancy only two of you need to provide genetic material to produce the offspring."

Wilson smiles warmly and grasps Chase's hand, House presses his lips in a thin line.

"Now, I feel the need to remind you that this is a trial, there are no guarantees but we have had a 75% success rate so far. And Colornicol comes with a lot of side effects; Nausea, cramps, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizzy spells and joint pain."

"Well that sounds just dandy." House quips, looking at Wilson. "Another thing, given the ages and physical conditions of all three of you, I would have to highly suggest that Dr. Chase carry the child in order to have the highest possible chance of success." Chase swallows audibly and opens and closes his mouth a few times. "I uh…James." He squeaks, he hadn't considered that he would be the one to actually have the child.

"We need some time to think about this." He finally gets out.

"There is NO way James!"

"Robbie, please. Just consider it."

"Absolutely not! I don't want to be sore and hormonal and fat!"

"Can't you just think about it-"

"No, I will not. I promised that I would go to the consultation, nothing more."

"So you were willing to consider it when it was me carrying the kid?"

"YES! Because this is your idea!"

Chase and Wilson very seldom talk for the next two weeks. House sides with Chase, being against the whole child thing in the first place. However, he feels a little bad for Wilson. He was so excited about the prospect of becoming a father and Chase had quickly squashed all hope.

"Hey." He says gently, pushing open the door to Wilson's office. "What the hell do you want?" He mumbles, not looking up from his files. "Just wanted to talk. You've been working pretty late recently. Miss you in bed." Wilson snorts "Well Chase and I are still at odds so I've been trying to make myself scarce." "He's scared James." He brunette man lets out a long, tired sigh. "I know, I know. It's a lot. I just want a kid so badly…and Chase is the best one to carry it." House licks his lips, he may be a heartless, soulless bastard but he does love Wilson and wants to see him happy. "And you don't like the idea either. I'm outnumbered."

"We could always invite Foreman in, take another vote."

"Haha. Very funny House."

"Who knows, maybe the little aussie will come around." Wilson rolls his eyes "Not likely House."

"Let's do it."

Wilson looks up from his dinner. "Do what?" He asks Chase

"The baby thing."

Wilson nearly chokes on his food "You aren't serious." Chase and House exchange looks "I am." The blonde confirms. The oncologist regards Chase's change of mind with a healthy amount of skepticism. "What made you change your mind?" He asks slowly. Chase pushes his pasta around on his plate "I spent a lot of time in the maternity ward for the last case we did. They…they were so cute. And I kept thinking about how precious our baby would be." Wilson lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding "And you, House?" The older doctor had been silent thus far

"I'm willing to give it a go. Plus I've heard pregnancy sex is really hot." He says, taking a sip of his soda

Chase makes a face at that "Yeah, right."

Wilson buries his head in his hands, shoulders shaking slightly.

"You okay Jimmy?" Chase asks, concerned. He lays a hand on the oncologists shoulder.

The other man looks up, sniffling and whipping his eyes "I'm…I'm so happy. Thank you guys."
