Hello Everyone, this is a story I've been working on and off of for a couple of month, I really like it and it seems like you do too! I have quite a few stories that I'm writing on at the moment, but I've always wanted to write about House as a child and now I get to do that! Hope you all enjoy and please remember that reviews are always welcomed. Nicole
Taub eyebrows shot up, "Okay, well before this goes any farther maybe we should change him back."
Kutner walked over to him and the team huddled around, "About that, the gun can't turn him back, it just said that the effects wear off in one to two weeks," he whispered.
Foreman looked highly irritated, "And what the hell are we suppose to do with him until then, you don't think Cuddy or Wilson aren't going to notice him missing?"
Kutner looked at Foreman with blank eyes, "I didn't think it would actually work," was all he seemed able to say.
Taub smiled, "Well don't worry, I've sent a text to Wilson and Cuddy telling them to get here as soon as possible because we have an emergency."
"Great now, I'm going to be fired," Kutner said dejectedly.
"Um, where did he go?" Thirteen ask as looking at the now empty chair.
They all turned around and looked at the desk and chair as Wilson walked in the door. "Alright what's this about?" He said holding up his phone with the text message on it.
They all turned and looked at him, "Did you see a kid running out of here?" Foreman asked quickly.
"No," Wilson said confused by the question, "Where's House and what has he done now?" he asked.
"Kutner would you like to answer that?" Taub said with a knowing smile.
Kutner gave the man a glare and looked at Wilson, "I might have turned him back into a six year old." He said as if it needed no more explanation than that.
"What?" Wilson said now completely confused and then was push forward by Cuddy walking in the door.
"Where's the emergency, and there better be an emergency because I just left a board meeting for this!" Cuddy's voice screeched.
The all started trying to explain and yell over each other when suddenly Wilson yelled, "Would everyone just SHUT UP!" He was tired of not being able to understand what was going on and as the room was finally silence he sighed, and heard a sniffle from the desk.
Evidently everyone now heard the sniffles as they were all looking at the desk. Wilson gave them all a worried look as he walked to the desk he saw some of Houses clothes on the chair and peeked under the desk seeing a small child sitting in the fetus position with tears running down his cheeks. Wilson was shocked, "Um... hey there, my name is Dr. Wilson. What's yours?"
The boy wiped the tears from his shockingly blue eyes quickly, "I already told them sir, my name is Gregory House. Where are my parents, sir, please tell me?" The child demanded with a shaky chin.
Wilson blinked several times and then reached a hand out for the child, "Come with me."
"Why mister? What are you going to do to me, sir?" The child asked with a slightly panicked voice.
Wilson looked up to see everyone now surrounding him. They had pulled the chair away to get a better view, "Um, I have some friends I would like you to meet doesn't that sound like fun." Wilson said in a cheery way.
"No, I'm not allowed to have friends," Greg answered quickly. "Dr. Wilson sir I'm going to get in a lot of trouble if I don't get home soon," he said and swallowed. "Where are my parents? Why am I here, sir?"
Cuddy could hardly see the boy, "Hey, if you come out I'll give you a sucker and we'll figure this all out okay?"
Greg craned his head to look at her. She seemed nice enough and usually women where nice to him. Greg crawled out from under the desk and sprinted to Cuddy stopping in front of her.
Cuddy swallowed as she saw the deep blue eyes and knew that this was somehow House. She opened the top drawer on the right side where she knew he kept his suckers and handed one to him. He was wearing nothing but the tee shirt he had come to work in, which was hanging off the small boy. His over shirt, pants, underwear, socks and shoes laid by the chair. His brown hair was cut in a medium length crew cut and his hair curled on top.
Greg looked at the sucker, "Thank you ma'am, I'm not going to get in trouble for eating this am I Miss?" He questioned.
Cuddy gave him a reassuring smile, "No, of course not."
"My dad wouldn't like this, you wont tell him ma'am?" Greg said watching her seriously.
Cuddy felt little under his gaze somehow, "No, it'll be our little secret," she said putting a hand on his shoulder.
Greg gave a slight grimace then looked at her and at the sucker, "Yes ma'am," he said unwrapping it and sticking it in his mouth.
Everyone watched him and his eyes searched theirs and finally he pulled the sucker from his mouth, "Didn't anyone ever teach you that it's rude to stare," he said with irritation and worry.
Everyone looked to Cuddy who looked at them back with questioning eyes, "Who?" was all she said knowing that it was all she needed to say.
The entire team pointed to Kutner who was looking shameful.
"How long?" She asked not wanting Greg to get wind of what they were talking about.
Kutner looked up with a solemn expression, "One to two weeks." He said.
"Go and get him some clothes for the ped's department." She said with her jaw clenched at Kutner.
Kutner didn't need to be asked twice and practically ran from the room.
Wilson bend down so that he was eye level with Greg, "Hey House... I mean Greg, your parents needed to go on a trip and had to leave you here with us for a little bit."
Greg pulled the sucker from his mouth and watched Wilson carefully, "Sir you don't have to lie to me. I understand, he decided to get rid of me because I'm bad," the boy said with a frown and swallowed hard.
Wilson stood up looking at House, it was a conclusion that only he would come up with. Everyone was looking at the boy not knowing what to say.
"Your parents wouldn't do that Greg, they love you," Cuddy said softly after being shocked that he would think such a thing. "Dr. Wilson is right, your parents just asked if we could watch you for a week or two." She said smiling at him and gave his shoulder a good squeeze to give the boy reassurance.
Greg flinched at her touch and she could feel him tighten up. "Then what are my parents names ma'am?" Greg asked in a challenging way.
Cuddy's eyes grew at the question. She'd never even met his parent's and had only heard him speak about them sparingly. She was pretty sure his father's name was either John or Joesph, but didn't even have a clue about his mothers name. Her eyes moved to Wilson, hoping that since he was House's best friend he would know the answer.
Wilson smiled as Cuddy's eyes met his and looked at Greg's challenging blue ones, "John and Blythe House." He said and Greg seemed still a little suspicious but satisfied.
