Chapter 3:
You sure you want
to be with me
I've nothing to give
Wont lie and say this
loving is best
Leave us in emotional peace
Take a walk, taste
the rest
No, take a rest…
Karmacoma; Massive Attack
Cuddy and House stood in the room above the OR watching the surgeons do their job. They first delicately removed the knife. Cuddy was immediately sickened by the amount of blood that came rushing out when they did so.
"I just feel so guilty." Cuddy said finally. "If I had never sent you all to that class Wilson wouldn't be…." She had to stop herself. She started crying again. House wanted to comfort her but he didn't know how, didn't know where to begin. All of a sudden the room shattered.
The monitor was beeping. He was crashing. It was their worst nightmare.
"o2 stats are dropping, you have to stop the bleed doctor, or we are going to lose him."
"Give me the scissors and clamps nurse!" She quickly handed them to him.
"No we are going to have to cauterize and sew him up. We need the paddles. FAST!"
They quickly stopped the bleed and sewed him up.
"His heart is failing."
"Charge 'em nurse."
"Paddles are charged and ready…alright everyone CLEAR!" He shocked Wilson. House looked on almost 'praying' for him.
"Come on." House said under his breath. "Wilson you can't leave me." House couldn't stand by helpless he rushed out the door and down to the OR. Cuddy just watched him go, not knowing what his plan was but hoping he could do something. The paddles weren't helping.
Cuddy watched as House flew into the OR.
He walked up the doctor.
"Give me those and get out of my way!" The doctor tried to protest but House just grabbed the paddles and pushed the doctor into a metal cart, surgical instruments flying everywhere. When he got up he noticed what House was doing. He was turning up the juice.
"No that's too high are you crazy, you're going to set both of you on fire and kill him!"
House just looked at him mockingly and said. "CLEAR."
Wilson's body practically jumped off of the table. House flew backwards being knocked unconscious. Cuddy banged on the window, but stopped when she saw that Wilson's heart was beating again.
She ran downstairs. No one else had bothered to check on House.
"Get Wilson stabilized and into a bed…now." She glared at the other doctors.
"House, house….are you okay?" His eyes rolled back and he squirmed around.
"How is Wilson?" She smiled.
"His heart is back in rhythm. You saved his life House."
"I feel all weird and tingly." Cuddy thought House was making a joke.
"No like I feel like shit."
"Well you did just electrocute yourself, don't move I will go get a nurse."
House collapsed as soon as Cuddy walked out of the room.
CUT SCENE: Wilson's room.
Wilson was finally starting to shift around a bit after being out for 4 hours. His eyes fluttered open as he rolled his head to the left.
"AHHHH!" He screamed. The nurse ran into the room to see what the commotion was about.
'What are you doing here House? And why are you in a bed in MY room?" The nurse sneered at House and walked out he made a face at her right back.
"God awful demon woman! Well I saved you and by saved you I mean blew myself across the room for you. Your hart stopped, I pummeled some doctor, stole his paddles, cranked the juice and blew myself into oblivion. Glad Cuddy was watching, must've been entertaining."
"House? You did that for me?"
"No, I love being electrocuted, it's all the rage." Wilson laughed but it hurt to laugh. He grabbed his stomach.
"Don't get up anytime soon, you lost a lot of blood they are still arguing whether or not to give you a transfusion. You will just pass out." Wilson actually felt gratitude soaring within him.
"Thank you House, for saving me."
"Ah it was nothing. Don't get all chummy. It's freaking me out."
Nurse popped her head in the door.
"You have a visitor." She moved away and they both watched as Evelyn entered the room.
She kept her eyes locked on James. She moved so gracefully he noted. She looked just like Kate Beckinsale, god she was gorgeous. She took a seat in the chair next to him. House was grinning in his bed.
"I came here to thank you James, and to make sure you were feeling better. Everyone was afraid for you." Her voice cracked and she looked down.
"I wasn't I knew the old bat was going to pull through." House exclaimed.
Evelyn leaned over and whispered into Wilson's ear.
"House cried for you." She smiled at House and he gave her the 'puzzled' look. Wilson just looked at her and then gave House a big grin.
"I have blackmail now." He said.
"What? What did she say?"
"Drop it House. Evelyn, don't thank me. We were put in a situation. I was just acting how any normal human being would have in my shoes."
"Oh come on Wilson, you are a hero stop being modest!" House squealed.
Wilson blushed and hung his head. Evelyn put her hand on his cheek and made sure he was looking at her. For a moment they shared no words, but said sentences and sentences of sweet nothings. Then she kissed him…
House almost cried again, watching this. It reminded him how sour and lonely he was but he was also overjoyed for Wilson. Their lips parted but they closed their eyes and she hugged him. House let Wilson savor the moment for a minute before interrupting.
"Hey Wilson, you remember telling me what you would do anything to see again?"
He shook his head.
House motioned out the window. The sun was setting. Tears fell down his face, he knew how precious this moment was. Every little breath. They all just watched as the twilight disappeared into night. Together.
