It is a beautiful spring day at PPT Hospital, Dr. House, the hospital's Ebenezer Scrooge, is lying on his recliner sofa. Covering his face is a medical journal while he is pretending to sleep. He feels someone watching and automatically assumes is Cuddy once again reminding him that he has clinic duty that afternoon.

"Cuddles, coming for a little mid-morning delight…" he stops as he moves the journal to realize that the person standing there is not Cuddy.

"Hello, Greg," Stacy eyes him up and down.

"House is not home now," he says as he moves the journal back to cover his face, "come back next millennium or never, whichever is longer."

Stacy moves stealthily to the chair nearest to him and removes the journal; "Greg, I've missed you…" she gets interrupted when suddenly a little girl appears on the other side of the glass doors and begins banging on the door while grinning.

Wilson arrives and tries to suppress the surprise as he attempts to remove the little girl. House opens his eyes to the little girl and smirks at the sight; he raises his hand to let Wilson know that it's okay for them to come in.

"Dadddlyyy!!!!" the little girl screams as she runs towards House. He opens his arms and lifts her up easily to his chest. She kisses him and gives him a hug.

"Hi" Wilson says while putting his hands in his pockets.

"Wilson you can leave," House tells him before Stacy can even begin to speak to Wilson.

"See ya," he leaves quickly knowing he should get out while he still can. "See you later princess," he calls outs.

The little girl turns around briefly to wave happily and blows him a kiss.

"Ohh, my god!! You…you have a daughter?????"

The little girl is now kneeling on House's lap facing him while searching his jacket pocket not even looking at Stacy, "what are you doing?" House asks her while trying to protect himself from the little hands.

"Dadddly!" she hisses, turns around and pouts while crossing her little arms. Stacy notices the little girl has dark curls in pig tails tied with yellow ribbons that match her pretty yellow and white dress.

"Fine, don't pout," he laughs, "look what I got" he smiles while waving a red lollipop in front of her. She immediately moves to once again face him and hugs him. "What do you say?"

"Thank you, Daddly!!"

"That's my girl," he laughs and hands her the lollipop after removing the wrap.

"You knocked up a…"

"Careful, Stacy, there are little ears here," he warns her.

"You…"

"Have a daughter; her name is Rachel. Baby say hi to the lady."

Rachel briefly looks at her with bright blue eyes that match those of the doctor, and briefly says "my mommy is mole prettly."

"We all know that Spawn, I told you to say hi not to determine who is prettier."

Rachel once again looks up towards Stacy and says "hi" before rolling her eyes, moves closer to her dad so that she's facing upfront while is under his arm.

"A h-o-o-k-e-r?"

"Get your mind out of the gutter,"

"Please, we both know you've never wanted…you know…little people," she states smugly. "She got pregnant to trap."

"Yes, she did; I believe the exact moment she decided to "trap" was after we had the kid talk and decided that it was selfish of me to deny the world a baby-House." He answers her proudly while adjusting the ribbons on the little girl's hair. Believe it or not to Dr. House there is no prettier baby girl than his three-year-old Rachel. He plays with one of her curls while she sucks on her lollipop.

"You're lying,"

"I don't see my nose growing" he states while touching his nose, "now" he begins looking down at his daughter who yawns while still sucking on the lollipop, "it's time for my nap—that's a nice way of telling you to leave. Spawn go tell those idiots to go get Wilson's office ready"

"Daddly, beal," Rachel tells him once standing in front of him.

"What, Wilson didn't bring your stuff?"
Rachel shakes her little head in no.

"Tell lutner to come in here,"

Rachel walks over to the next room where his fellows sit around the table doing pretty much nothing puts her little hand on her hip, "I'm sleepwy," the fellows know what that means and immediately get up to leave, "luner go to daddly."

"Greg, how?"

"Well you see when a men and a woman- in this case a stud…"

"You know what I mean; we had that talk. First you declared I was not very maternal, which I agreed was true. Then, you practically declared that if I ever changed my mind and wanted children I should find the father somewhere else. You said you would never have children."

"Stacy drop it"

Then Kutner walks in with Rachel, "Lutner go get the Spawn's animal."

"Mistel Beal, daddly," she corrects while looking at him straight in the eyes.

"Do you wanna go with me Rach?" Kutner asks and she shakes her head saying yes.

"Let's go then," he grabs her little hand and they walk out.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm visiting, can't old friends do that? I thought we could go out for lunch."

"Not today, now I have important things to do," he grabs his cane and walks out.

Wilson's Office

"Done?" House asks his fellows.

All three walk out after finishing uniting two sofas and covering the crib-like surface with a soft pink blanket and placing pillows to create a space compact enough so that Rachel is comfortable.

"So," Wilson begins.

"Don't even bother. Lutner went to get Rachel's stuff because someone told me he would pick her up on his way here but forgot her bear."

"Ooh, sorry. Her blankets are here so I didn't think she needed anything besides her bottle," he shows the bottle on his desk.

House's Office

Stacy stays there for a second till she sees CTB, 13, and Taub walk back in the other room, "Whose daughter is she?"

The three fellows look at her like she's an alien till CTB answers, "sorry lady I've made it this far; I'm not about to mess it up by talking about Rachel."

"I'm an old friend,"

"If you were then you would already know the answer to your question," Taub states and sits down.

13 doesn't even bother saying anything besides, "don't look at me the last person who messed with Rachel got the boot."

In that instant they hear crying coming from the hallway; Kutner enters with a crying Rachel in his arms.

"Help, her lollipop got stuck on my hair," he turns and they see the candy.

House walks out of Wilson's office when he hears the crying and comes him to find the CTB and Taub trying to get the lollipop out of Kutner's hair, and 13 trying to sooth Rachel.

Rachel sees her dad and extends her arms to be held by him. House immediately grabs Rachel, "Shhhh, it's okay." He rubs her back while she quites down a little and sucks on her thumb.

"What happened?" asks Wilson while removing a teal from Rachel's cheek while her head rests on House's shoulder.

Kutner doesn't answer and shows them; House can't help but laugh while Wilson tries to stifle a giggle.

"House," Kutner begins.

"Save it," he stops him and turns around.

"Don't worry Kutner," Wilson tries to make him feel better while grabbing the bear.

Wilson's Office

"You couldn't just tell him you aren't going to fire him over this?"

"And what? Miss seeing his face? He's going to work extra hard now that he thinks I'm angry because he made Rachel cried."

"House, you know…"

"I know she's only crying because she's sleepy," he says while he continues to draw circles on her back. Rachel is already asleep. "They need to learn that kids cry over anything when sleepy."

"Still…"

"Shh" House tells him while moving to lay Rachel on the sofa. "Come on let's go eat, I'm starving and we only have about 35 minutes before she wakes up."
