Cuddy

She heard the door swing open and she knew all too well who it was. She slipped her glasses placing them on the desk, gave her temples a quick before glancing up.

"What do you want no House…" she observed him carefully, trying to work out what she'd be paying for at the end of today.

"I got you something," he muttered, stunning her a little as she watched him hold out a small slice of chocolate. She eyed it suspiciously.

"What is it… laced with poison no doubt" she teased.

He looked down at his feet the back up at her.

"But mommy, I went to all the trouble to make you a sweet good enough to eat… I think," he argued with an over exaggerated quivering lip.

"Oh fine…" she replied, surrendering, taking the chocolate from his clutches. Slipping it into her mouth she found it actually wasn't too bad. Until…

Something wasn't right… she pulled out something not so eatable just as she heard the doors close.

Studying the minty wrapper, she could feel her temper rising. Angrily she pulled out the Clinic Duty roster and with a dark smirk she added four weeks under House's name.
