I don't own House
House had been a bitter man ever since the accident that killed his 8-year-old daughter Megan. Once he got involved with Cuddy however he started to become less and less bitter. He tried hard however not to like her daughter, Rachel. He knew once he liked her he would start loving her and he couldn't take loving another child. Rachel on the other hand, had different ideas.
House was always nice to Rachel. He was somewhat distant but Rachel didn't realize it. She was just a baby. One day when she was playing with her dolls she looked up at House and said her first word.
"DADA"
That was it. That was the word that melted a bitter heart. He picked her up and kissed the top of her head feeling the warmth he hadn't felt since the last time he held Megan. From then on in he was her "DADA" It changed his life just like Megan did.
He knew there would be good times and bad times. He knew there'd be laughter and tears. There'd be arguments and teenage years but he knew he could get through that. He was 'DADA' again.
