She was awoke by two loud knocks on her front door. She stumbled out of the bed and stumbled into a few walls as she made her way to her front door. Her vision was blurring and she was beyond exhausted. Her hair was well, bed headed hair. And she had somewhere along the way to the front door pulled on her robe.
She pulled open the door to find House. She grunted if almost in pain, "What do you want House." She wiped her eyes and was suddenly wide awake. She heard crying, knowing it wasn't him she looked behind him. When suddenly Molly appeared, her arms shout out protectively. Molly came into them. She had been the ones crying. She had a black eye and a busted lip. She was hugging Molly when Makayla appeared. She didn't look physically hurt.
"House, what happened?" She wrapped her arms around Molly and Makayla. "House. Inside." She ushered the kids inside and he followed, shutting the door. She and the kids went and sat on her couch while he sat in the armchair across from them.
"The kids came to my house like this." He said. "They were looking for somewhere to go, they didn't know anywhere else to go."
She sighed, and combed her hand through Molly's hair. She turned to Makayla, "Can you tell me what happened?" She asked.
Makayla nodded, "We're in foster care, as you know. Our quote on quote mom, gets drunk a lot. She was dead to the world, when we got there. Our quote on quote, bastard of a father, is well a bastard. He's been raping me for as long as we've been there. I can take it as long as he doesn't lay a hand on Moll." Makayla said, her eyes held fire. Her nostrils were flaring, just like when she was mad. "Molly didn't know about that little fact. But she saw and tried to stop him. He," She looked upward and blinked repeatly, trying to stop the tears. "He..hit her." She rubbed the back of Makayla's neck, rubbing in little circles.
"You didn't tell me. About him....? That wasn't the first time?" Molly muttered. Her whole body shook. "What are we going to do?" Molly asked Makayla.
But Cuddy answered, "Your going to stay here. In my guest room."
"Dr. House, I wanna stay with you. William will find us, and he's broken in places before. He'll be afraid of you." Molly said. Makayla nodded.
"I don't have enough room in my apartment." House stated matter-a-factly.
"Well you all can stay here." Cuddy said. "That is unless, House, you're scared." She said with a smirk and a raise of her eyebrow.
"Nope. Plus now i'll be able to see what you sleep in. You know with the economy so bad, we probably should share water supply by taking a shower together and everything."
"My shower's not big enough for the four of us. Plus I think the girls may get a big uncomfortable in that situation." Cuddy responded.
"I meant the two of us."
"Wow," Makayla said with a laugh. They both turned to stare at her.
"What?" House asked.
"You guys so need to sleep together and get it over with. I mean really, the sexual tension is almost choking me." She laughed again. "Where's the guest bedroom?" She asked standing up and taking Molly's hand pulling her up. Makayla wrapped her hand around Molly's waist as Molly leaned her head into Makayla's neck.
"Its down the hall first door on the left."
She turned back to look at House, but he had moved. He was standing near the door, she stood up and walked toward him. "Where are you going?"
"You don't want to spend another night alone?" He asked sarcastically.
She rolled her eyes and sighed. "I'm scared House. I've met that guy, he's scarier than hell. If Molly's right and he does find them, do you really think that i'm going to be able to stand in his way?" She whispered.
"I'm just running home quick, grabbing some clothes, some shoes, some games. Just necessities. I'll be back in ten." He said. She nodded and closed her eyes. She held her breath as he leaned down, he took her face in his hand and lifted it. She opened her eyes and he stopped just looking into her eyes. Before dropping his hand and leaving quickly. She sighed and leaned her head against the door, trying to get her breathing back in order.
