Chapter 10
Chase's POV
Seven months later she walked into the conference room where I sat alone. My colleagues were all taking care of our patient. She walked in the room, her hair in a bun, not wearing any makeup and wearing a pair of faded washed jeans and a t-shirt. She had never been hotter, no matter how frequently she wore pretty silk dresses.
"Hi pookie." I smiled at the corny names she gave me, it was a work in progress for her to find the perfect pet name for me. I did not really enjoy that one.
"Hey babe..."
"She's having the baby."
"Really? I haven't seen House this morning."
"Yeah they called me yesterday and now she's 9cm dilated, well she was an hour ago." I sprung to my feet and met her in the doorway.
"I'll go with you." I held her hand and lead her to the maternity ward.
We breezed by the nursery where she spent a few seconds staring at the wailing children inside. My heart warmed at the sight of her emotionally looking at the infants. We reached the nurse's station and found the labour and delivery room where we were suggested not to go as she was in the process of delivering the baby. We sat on the nearest bench and waited for her doctor to leave the room.
"Is she done?"
"Why would I tell you?"
"The baby's my sister, Dr. House is my father."
"Oh! She's born, very healthy too. Give her some time and you'll be able to meet her." She sat back down, waiting.
"I have a sister."
House walked out.
"Hi!"
"I thought you were here, feeling too guilty to barge in." She nodded with pouty lips.
"Come and see her."
She walked in and I followed her, Cuddy's mother held little Madeline, she offered the 7 pounds baby to the newcomer in the room. Erin gladly accepted to hold the little one, her eyes fixed on the baby's wide-opened eyes.
"She's so pretty." I nodded rubbing the baby's pink cheeks.
"Congratulations you two!"
