Chapter 3
I actually got a chance to update this earlier. Yay! I'm still having problems sadly and I have to go back to the US for the weekend. So, you could say I'm updating this from my father's home.
God I hate customs.

House was curious, that was usually never a good sign. Quickly, he limped towards Wilson's office. The office Wilson was now working in once belonged to his wife, Lisa Cuddy. Luckily for him, Wilson was actually in it this time.
He sat himself down easily down on the chair across from his desk, "Who do you think Todd is dating?"
Wilson looked up from the paperwork he was slaving over, "Do I want to know?"
"She left in a hurry and demanded that Kutner and Taub do all the work while she goes out to lunch," he paused, "she also mentioned not to get the PI to go after her."
Wilson nodded his head, "Haven't changed," he looked down at his pen in his hand then back at House, "Well there are many possibilities why she should be quiet about her relationships House, you do have a record for trying to ruin them."
He frowned, "That was before I married Lisa," he said in mock hurt, "I'm not like that anymore."
"Have you ever heard of the 'old dog still up to his old tricks?'"
"Yes, I believe I've said this to you," he nodded.
Wilson smiled, "Well, we're all on the same page now," he rolled out from his desk and picked up the files heading towards the file cabinet, "House, leave her alone…leave me alone," he pushed him out of the chair and towards the door.
"Bu-"
"Out!" he pointed at the door.
"You're even meaner than Lisa when she was in your position," he pouted before limping out of the two doors.

Mary quickly walked into the teashop that was around the corner from the hospital. He had asked her to come as soon as she could, and well, she knew she could make adjustments in her work area. She knew Kutner would do anything for her and Taub just owed her a favour.
"Hey," he said coming up to her and handing her a yellow rose.
"Hey back," she smiled at him taking the rose and kissing his cheek.
She had been dating Lucas for about six weeks now, yes she's been keeping track. "I thought you weren't going to make it."
"Why would I?" she sat down in the booth across from him and picked up the little menu that consisted of things like croissants, teas, coffees, and numerous other types of pastries.
"You're a doctor, they have patients."
She smiled, "Very true, but I can manage," he loved her smile, "So what do you want?"

House opened the doors quickly of Cuddy's office. She wasn't there. Rolling his eyes he pulled out his cell and quickly hit her number. It rang for maybe three seconds before he heard pick up.
"Dr. House," he heard on the other side of the line.
"Lise, where are you?"
"Clinic, you should be down here too." She sighed
"You know me, I usually get Kutner and Taub to do it."
"Greg, what do you want?" she actually sounded sick.
"What's wrong?" she never got sick, well, she did once when he brought home bad Chinese food.
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"You don't sound fine; you sound like you're going to throw up any second,"
"Greg, I'm-Oh God!" he heard the phone drop and her heals clicking away from where she dropped it.
He wasted no time in limping down to the clinic and seeing a perplexed audience around the front desk. He looked around and spotted the nearest bathroom with a Men's sign on it with horrible vomiting sounds coming from it. He sighed and limped towards it pushing the door open with his cane. Sure enough, he heard the toilet flush then she slowly opened the door and without taking notice of him in the room, she slowly walked over to the sink and turned it on running a hand through her sweaty, dark brown locks.
"I thought you said you were fine," he stated concerned.
She rinsed her mouth out and turned to him, she looked terrible, "I am."
"Don't lie to me, what happened?"
She shook her head regretting this action, "It came on so fast, I didn't expect it."
"I'm gonna check you out," he put his hand on her arm and looked into her grey/blue eyes.
She looked at him again and gave him a soft smile before she slowly walked out the bathroom and towards a very surprised lobby. At the same time, Mary was walking into the hospital, and all the commotion was…odd.
"Okay, what did I miss?" she demanded looking around at the crowd.
Her little outburst caused everyone to look at her, making her, well, nervous. She then looked around and saw House with his hand on Cuddy's shoulder. She looked sick. He looked concerned. She nodded her head and acknowledged her boss and his wife and quickly walked out of the clinic doors and to the main lobby and into the elevators.
"Awkward," she said to herself as the elevator doors closed.

He didn't understand how Lisa could get so sick all of a sudden. It was unlike her.
He turned and saw her pale face, she was lying on the exam room table closing her eyes and clutching her upset stomach. What could have caused this? He pondered through his thoughts, he felt so ignorant, he was one of the best diagnosticians in the world and yet he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his wife.
Then he got it.
I just wrote a cliffhanger, that is not like me…well…I do on some occasions, but not very often. Please review. Leigha
