Hey everyone! I've had this fic sitting around for awhile and decided that I would finally upload it. I do not own House, unfortunately. Please read and review!
He opens his eyes and sees Wilson staring at him. He can tell by his face that she died. House opens his mouth to say something but Wilson just turns around and leaves. House sighs. Cuddy wakes up when she hears him. She stands up.
"You're awake."
She lets go of his hand and checks his vitals.
"Blink if you can hear me."
He blinks. She bursts into a smile. House starts to open his mouth.
"Don't talk, don't stimulate your brain to much at once. Blink once for yes and twice for no. Do you know who I am?"
He blinks once. She smiles, him recognizing her is a good sign.
"Are you in pain?"
He blinks once.
"Okay, I'll up your morphine. Just try to rest."
House closes his eyes and goes back to sleep.
A couple of hours later he wakes up and sees Cuddy still right next to him. She's still holding his hand, and surprisingly, he doesn't mind.
"Cuddy," he says softly, trying not to strain himself.
She wakes up and looks up at him with concern.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"You're talking, that's good! Foreman needs to come and give you a full neurological test. I'll go get him."
"Wait."
"Yeah?"
"Please don't leave."
She smiles at him, he is really opening up to her and is showing her that he is vulnerable.
"Okay, I'll page him."
------
A couple of minutes later Foreman comes in. He gives House a full exam and turns towards Cuddy.
"Surprisingly, his brain seems fine."
She smiles, he's still House. This surprises her more when it comes to his neediness. She is also happy because she was really worried that he wouldn't be able to be as great a doctor as he was. She knew this would have killed him because he deep down really prides himself in solving the cases.
Foreman leaves and House turns towards her as he walks back up to his bed.
-----
"Clean bill of health, time to go."
She gives him a sympathetic look, she knows that he hates being a patient.
"I'm sorry, because of the seizure and your previous heart attacks, you have to stay so we can make sure there isn't a bleed in your brain."
"I know the signs, I'll come back."
"I'm sorry, House."
He looks down, he looks up at her and smiles. "I just read my bracelet, you're listed as my attending. Why not Foreman? It was a brain injury."
She blushes. " I wanted to make sure that you were okay. That and make sure Foreman wasn't able to kill you for your stupid moves."
He looks down, "Did you think what I did was stupid?"
She pauses for a second and thinks, "Yes and no. You shouldn't have risked your life that way. However, I admire you for doing it. It shows how dedicate you are to your friends. I'm sorry about Wilson, but things will get better." She pauses. "So yeah, it was a stupid move, but I can only hope that you would do the same thing for me if something like that happened."
She gives him a small smile.
He looks up at her, "I would. You're my friend too, at least I hope you are."
She smiles. "I am."
---
He looks up at her. "Do you think he'll ever talk to me again?"
"Yeah, I though you'd never talk to me again, but here we are."
He looks down. He knows that she only took out his thigh muscle because of Stacy. He was mad at her for awhile, but he couldn't help talking to her. Because deep down, he likes her, maybe even more than that. He looks back up at her.
"I had to forgive you, I needed to talk to you. Wilson doesn't."
She smiles, he's somewhat just admitted to her that he forgave her because he needed her.
"Don't worry, everything will work itself out."
This is just getting started! please review, it makes my day!
