A/N1: "Thinking of You" by Hanson
Chapter Ten: Thinking of You
Cameron entered House's hospital room to chack his vitals, to find Wilson asleep in the visitor's chair. She walked as quietly as she could, so that she didn't disturb House (who was also asleep) and Wilson.
Have you ever stood outside a picket fence
You could see through but you can't get to the inside
You sit there and wait
I look at you and anticipate
What we could be and what we could do
Cameron felt her heart breaking as she gazed at her boss, who had less than a month to live. And parents didn't even know they would be losing their son. Or maybe their daughter, instead. Kristen was now the only option left to House.
Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
And the stubborn idiot had refused. He didn't want his sister's heart.
Fly with the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you
Cameron knew that Wilson and Cuddy were planning to put House into a chemical coma so that they could "have their way with him."
I'm carrying this heavy load
I don't know what to do
The only thing I know is that
I'm in love with you Oh
Fly the wings of an eagle
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you
Kristen would be placed on suicide watch the instant she gave birth.
Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you
Cameron wondered how Kristen had ended up being a surrogate mother for Wilson's sister, anyway. She'd ask Wilson about it later.
Fly with the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you
"Stop staring. It's rude," House whispered. Electric blue eyes held Cameron captive in their intense gaze.
"You're awake. How are you feeling?" Cameron asked, surprised that he was awake.
No matter how high
No matter how low
I'll be thinking of you
"Fine. Where's Wilson?"
"Right behind me," replied Cameron.
No matter what I do
No matter where I go
I'll be thinking of you
"And he's now awake," Wilson added as he stretched and got up.
You'll be on my mind all the time
You'll be on my mind all the time
You'll be on my mind, I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Cameron's pager beeped. So did Wilson's. He looked at the urgent message on the screen.
"It's Kristen. She's gone into premature labor.
"Go, Wilson," Cameron urged. "I'll stay here with House."
"Stillborn," Wilson informed House, Cameron, and Foreman. Chase and Cuddy had been with Kristen when she had gone into premature labor.
"She's on suicide watch, right?" Foreman promptly asked.
"Of course," Wilson replied.
"Don't give her any narcotics. If she is on any now, get her off them immediately," House directed.
"Why?" demanded Wilson, knowing that doing what House wanted would put Kristen in pain (as they'd had to operate on her to remove the dead baby's body from the birth canal).
"Do I have to spell it out for you?" grumbled House.
But before anyone could reply, Wilson's pager went off.
He read the screen and paled.
"Too late," House said.
"How did she manage to OD on Vicodin?" Cuddy demanded of House.
"She stole some of my vicodin," replied House.
"And when were you going to say something!?!?!!?!" shreiked Cuddy.
"I didn't--" began House. He clutched at his chest and gasped at the pain he felt there. He could almost feel his heart beating against his ribs. The moniters began to shriek their shrill alarms as House started seizing and as his heart started beating wildly in his chest.
"He's tachycardiac! He's gonna go into cardiac arrest!" exclaimed Foreman.
"His heart can't handle it!" Cameron shouted.
"Ativan, 2 cc's," Chase said, barely keeping a cool head on his shoulders. Cuddy handed him the requested drugs, and Chase injected it into House's IV line.
"It was only pure luck that he managed to surive that," Chase told the others. "We need to find him a new heart soon. He won't surive another episode like that."
"Kristen," Wilson said.
"What about her?" Cuddy asked.
"She's still on life support, right?"
Cuddy nodded as Wilson continued.
"She's a perfect match. She had me test her."
"House doesn't want her heart," Foreman reminded them.
"He's in a coma at that moment, and his medical proxy's a vegatable," snapped Wilson.
"Who's Kristen's medical proxy?" Cuddy asked. "Especially since their parents are still out of reach."
"I am," Wilson replied.
"And what do you say?"
"To hell with what House wants," Wilson replied truthfully, secretly enjoying the shocked expression on Cuddy's face.
