Disclaimer: I own nothing House.

"House, you're alive!" Cuddy said, wheeling back around towards him.
"And you're in a wheelchair." He said, whispering.
"Yeah, but it's only temporary. Look, I'll leave you to sleep. I'll have Cameron come in and check on you." Cuddy said, and wheeled back to her room. She got back in bed and slept for two hours. Cameron came in just as she was waking up.
"Cameron. How's House?"
"He's fine, sleeping. How are you?"
"Fine, I'm fine." Cuddy then tried to stand up, but her legs just gave out from under her.
"Cuddy, you don't look fine." Cameron said, helping her onto the bed.
"I'm fine." She said in a firm tone. Cameron examined her.
"Okay, you're fine. It's probably because you haven't walked in awhile. It should pass soon, though depending on your emotional state, it could be a few months."
"Okay. Will you check on House?"
"Sure." Cameron exits and goes to House's room. She knocks on the door.
"Come in." He says. "Cameron."
"Hey House."
"I'm fine."
"What?"
"You were about to ask how I am. I'm fine."
"Oh, okay. Well, can you stand?" She asks. He stands up smoothly and walks around the room.
"Cameron, I'd like to see Cuddy now."
"Okay, go ahead. But knock first." She says. He nods and limps out. He walks to her room and knocks softly.
"Come in." She calls, her voice sounding stuffed. She's turned facing away from him when he comes in. He limps over and stands next to the bed. Finally, he places his hand on her arm.
"What's wrong?" He asks softly, he can tell she's in a fragile state. She turns to him, tears flowing freely from her eyes.
"I'm sorry, House. Sorry that I never noticed anything was wrong with you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He whispered, taking her hand in his and holding it tight. She smiles a little and nods.
"You read my note, right?" She nods again.
"Then you must know that no matter how you are, I will love you." Again she nods.
"Thank you." She whispers. He looks at her and smiles. Then, he leans down and gently kisses her lips.
A few months later….
"Good morning Cuddy." Cameron says, looking down at her. Cuddy's still in a wheelchair, she's not emotionally stable enough to try walking yet.
"Good morning Cameron." She says, and wheels towards her office. House is there waiting for her. He removes her coat and hangs it up.
"God, you know I hate when you wear shirts like that." He says, looking down at her. She's wearing a low cut green top that when you look down at her, as most people do now, you basically look down her shirt.
"No, I know you love it." She says, beckoning for a kiss. He gets down on his knees and kisses her, running his hands through her hair.
"God, you're beautiful." He says, kissing down her neck. He moves more down, and kisses the swell of chest that is visible. Just then, the door opens and Chase walks in.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." He said.
"Chase, it is fine. Come in." House said, getting up and kissing Cuddy on the forehead.
"Well, Cuddy, I just came to see how you were, now that it's your first day back and everything."
"Thank you, Chase. I'm fine. I'm just really glad to be back at work."
"Good. Well, see you in the board room, House. And see you later, Cuddy." He says, walking out.
That night…Cuddy is staying with House a few nights a week.
"House, I'd like to take a bath. Will you help me?" Cuddy asked, wheeling into the living room in just a robe.
"Sure." He says, and limps behind her to the bathroom. She'd already filled the tub, just needed help getting in. He picks her up and moves her to the edge of the tub. Then, she slowly removes her robe. He looks her up and down, grinning.
"House, no. I know that look. I'm just not ready."
"I wasn't thinking that. I was just thinking how hot you look."
"Oh, okay." She said, laughing. He then helped her into the water, and she sat down and let the bubbles surround her, hiding her naked self from him. He pouted.
"Oh, don't be such a baby." She said, laughing again.
"I love your laugh. But more than that, I love you." He said.
"I love you too. Now, are you going to come in here or not?" She said, smirking. He smirked back and removed his clothes, climbing in across from her. They sat facing each other, holding hands. He then edged forward and pressed himself against herself. She moaned. He kissed her deeply and started kissing down her body, slowing at her cleavage. She moaned deeper, then pushed him away as he neared the center of her desire.
"House, I just can't. I want to, god how I want to. But I'm just not ready for it." She said, locking with her eyes with his. He nods and she leans in and plants a kiss on his lips. "I'm sorry." She whispered, while kissing him.
"It's okay. When you are ready is fine." He said, kissing back. They kissed until the water got cold. Then, he got out and helped her get out.
The next day at work….it's before hours, and everyone isn't there yet. But Cuddy is. House walks into her office, shuts the door behind him, and closes all the blinds. He moves her to the desk chair and sits on her lap. He then ties her hands to the chair. Then, out of his pocket he pulls a feather. He snakes down and sits on the floor in front of her legs. He pushes the skirt she's wearing up, until he can see her underwear. He then bites the underwear off with his teeth and throws them into a corner. He then takes the feather and proceeds to tickle her private place. She moans deeply, and he does more with the feather. He smiles at her clear pleasure. It's not long before Cuddy's back arches, and
House pulls out the feather. He unties her and just walks out, leaving her there in the chair.
"Damn, he's good." She whispered to herself. She then realized it was before work, and she didn't have time to run home to get a new pair of underwear. "I guess I'll have to go without." She said, and then put herself back in her chair and went back to her paperwork. In the conference room…it's just House and Cameron.
"Cameron, when do you think Cuddy will be able to walk?"
"I don't know. It all depends upon her stability, mentally as well as physically."
"Oh, okay." He said, and went into his office. Cuddy came wheeling in a few minutes later.
"Where's House?" She asked Cameron. Cameron moved her head to indicate his office. Cuddy wheeled over and knocked on the door. No response, so she just went in. House was sitting in his chair with his head in his hands. She wheels over, worried about him. She then places her hand on his knee, but he jerks it away.
"House, what's wrong?" She whispered. He looked up at her.
"What's wrong? What's wrong is that I want to be able to make love to my girlfriend. She won't get off of her ass and walk, and doesn't want to make love with me. I just think she hates me, and I can't take the stress of waiting for her to walk and to say yes!" He yelled, standing up. Then, he grabbed his heart and fell to the floor.
