House Chapter Ten – The END

Cuddy looked like she had seen a ghost when she walked in to the room

"Cuddy?" said Wilson wondering what the hell had gone wrong now

"He thinks he is dying" she said shaking like a leaf

Chase jumped up and sat her on a chair

Cameron shocked by this did wonder was he sucking up to her for a promotion? Or was this a side of Chase that was sticking around now? Hmmm she wondered.

"How do you mean?" Foreman asked sternly

"He wrote on the chalk board, three things – Hallucinations, Coma and he can't feel his legs"

"Fine" Foreman said proceeding to write them on the board

"What else did he say?" Wilson asked wondering how this led to his friend thinking he was dying.

"He then wrote he doesn't know what is wrong with him and thinks its going to kill him" Cuddy replied then bursting in to tears.

Taub couldn't bear it, he decided he would go see House and make him realise that he had to be patient with his own mind.

"Where are you going?" Foreman shouted

"To see House" Taub said

"Why?" both Foreman and Wilson asked

"We have sat around here for a too long not doing any tests, we need to test"

"Hmm that is what House would do" Wilson said thinking

"Go" Foreman said

Taub entered Houses room

"I thought you couldn't feel your legs" Taub said looking at House who was at the window

House turned and wrote on a chalk board

"I can't feel the pain"

"Okay, that's good House"

House smiled.

"Are you still feeling like you are dying?" Taub knew this was a harsh unethical question. No other patient would get that, but he knew House could handle this.
House wrote "Yes"

"okay I am going to do some tests on you"

House scribbled on his board

"Make it quick"

Taub smiled, he knew the tests weren't going to show anything up. Maybe a slight infection, high in vicodin but nothing to tell House or the team what was wrong. He knew what was wrong, it was simple. Houses mind.

Taub did the blood tests, got House to pee in to a little bottle, did a couple of others and then House scribbled on his board

"You know what's wrong don't you"

"Yes I do House"

House smiled

"Its your mind, you know it, When you went in to that coma you went over things, something which is stopping you speak."

House nodded

"Now I am only doing the tests, so the others can feel like they are doing something for you. But I have to say House that once you are better you will be discharged and until your mind is ready you will talk"

House again smiled. Taub had done it, he had for the first time understood everything, it was unbelievable.

House scribbled on his board "Thanks"

Taub ran up the stairs to the team, they were thinking it could be a seizure; Cuddy by this time was in Houses office next door trying not to cry.

"He's worked it out"

"What?" Foreman asked

"Cool we can all go home now, should of known he would work himself out" Chase said thinking that his day had now been wasted

"Chase, shut up" Cameron said wanting to know what Taub was about to say

"He is happy"
"Oh my lord it's finally happened" Wilson said walking in to Houses office

Cuddy looked up from the desk

"Now seriously we have a diagnosis"

"What is it?" Cuddy asked hoping it was something treatable

"Well he figured it out for himself; I am finding it incredible as to how he knew what Happy is"

"Your telling me he can't talk because he is happy"
"Yes"

"This is stupid Wilson; no-one does get this ill when they are happy"
Cuddy stood up

"I think he has found true happiness"
Cuddy smiled, she wasn't sure what Wilson meant by that, but if it meant she could take House home then that was fine by her.

A while later, Wilson came back with the results, he had indeed got nothing. Cuddy who was still an emotional wreck took solace that it wasn't anything dangerous and they all knew he was a happy House

She decided to take House home when he was allowed to be discharged.

"Careful now Cuddy" Wilson said as they walked to the lift as they went back to her office

"Why?"
"This is the House we all know and love, but only the body not the mind"
"I know Wilson, this is definitely a new beginning." She smiled a nice deep smile that made her feel good.

Wilson wondered if her and House would now settle down and make a good go at it.

He felt for once maybe his friend wouldn't mess of it.

Wilson decided he would see him first as Cuddy wanted to go and change and reset her makeup

"Oh my here is the happy one" Wilson said

House smiled

"Cuddy will be here in a moment"

House scribbled on his board

"I love her"

"I know House" Wilson said deciding to sit on the bed

"I don't know how to be" House scribbled with his eyes starting to water

"Just be you, let these brand new emotions just flow"
House scribbled again

"I am nervous"

Wilson smiled.

House frowned at him.

"okay sorry House, I know you are nervous"

He scribbled down on the board

"What if I cant tell her that I love her?"

"House, when you are ready your mind will heal, you will understand true love and you will speak"

Scribbling again

"I'll be bored as I cant work"

"Yes you can you can write everything on the white board….Trust me House you will be fine"

Cuddy appeared, House smiled and stretched out his hand to hold hers.

It would be a week before House was discharged, but each day House got more and more frustrated as he still couldn't speak.
