It's The Time Of The Season

"That's stupid," House said to one of Chase's ideas.

"Why is that a stupid idea?" Chase asked.

"You know the odds that is the cause of what is wrong with a 50-year old patient?" House asked.

"You always say things that are likely not to happen," Chase said.

"I know," House said. "It sounds a lot smarter coming out of my mouth."

"You are wrong half of the time," Chase said.

"I am right more times then you, though," House said.

"Can we stop fighting over this stupidity?" Foreman asked.

"But I enjoy it," House said.

"Did you forget that we have a patient that is sick?" Foreman asked.

"No," House said. "I'm not an idiot." Nurse Brenda came running down the hall and knocked on House's office door.

"House," Brenda said. "I need to speak with you."

"I don't want to marry you," House said. "You have to get over me."

"Cuddy's in labor," Brenda said.

"What?" House asked standing up. "Is she here?"

"Not yet," Brenda said. "An ambulance got her and is bring her in."

"Why didn't she call me?" House asked.

"You are going to have to talk to her when she gets in," Brenda said.

"Go be with Cuddy," Cameron said. "We will handle the case." House nodded his head and went to go meet Cuddy in the emergency room. While he was waiting there, Wilson came running up.

"I just heard that Cuddy is in labor," Wilson said.

"This wasn't supposed to happen for another two months," House said.

"Everything is going to be okay," Wilson said.

"She wasn't in any kind of pain this morning," House said.

"Maybe she didn't tell you because she thought it was just a stomachache," Wilson said.

"She would have told me," House said. "Something is wrong for it to come along that fast." House limped as fast as he could from Wilson to Cuddy when he saw her being wheeled in.

"House," Cuddy said, reaching her hand out for him.

"I'm here," House said, running over to her. House grabbed onto her hand and held onto it. "When did the contractions start?"

"Not that long ago," Cuddy said. "My water already broke."

"So soon?" House asked worried.

"Orlando attacked her," Freddie said.

"When?" House asked.

"After you left," Cuddy said. "He broke into the house."

"Are you hurt anywhere?" House asked Cuddy.

"I don't know," Cuddy said. "He put all his weight down on my belly." The tears started to flood to Cuddy's eyes.

"It's okay," House said. "You have good doctors working here. They will make sure everything is okay. Are you okay, Freddie?"

"A little freaked out, but physically, I am fine," Freddie said.

"Freddie, why don't you come with me?" Wilson said. Freddie went with Wilson. House went with Cuddy to her room. House sat next to Cuddy as the doctor looked her over.

"I'm sorry," House said.

"For what?" Cuddy asked.

"For not being there to protect you," House said. "I knew you were worried about him and I left you alone."

"This is not your fault," Cuddy said.

"Then why do I feel guilty?" House asked.

"It's not guilt," Cuddy said. "It's worry."

"You two have to be okay," House said.

"You won't lose us, House," Cuddy said. "Jordan just wants to meet you a little early."

"He must not have heard about me yet," House said.

"He has only heard the things that I have told him," Cuddy said.

"Our son knows that I am good in bed?" House asked. All the nurses turned and looked at House.

"Thank you for making this moment very memorable," Cuddy said. "For the record, I did not talk to our unborn child about sex."

"Did you tell him about how good-looking I am?" House asked.

"All the time," Cuddy said, rolling her eyes.

The doctor that looked to see how far Cuddy was along, stood up to talk to House and Cuddy.

"The baby is not progressing very far," the doctor said. "I will give it 20 more minutes, but if the baby doesn't move along, we are going to have to do a C-section." House knew that had been Cuddy's biggest fear.

"Thank you," Cuddy said to the doctor.

"Can you all leave?" House asked everyone. Everyone listened and left the room.

"I don't want a C-section," Cuddy said.

"I know," House said. "If the baby doesn't move down, you will have to get one. Since your water already broke, he won't be able to breath."

"I'm going to do it if I have to," Cuddy said. "I just really hope it doesn't come to that."

"As long as you two are healthy, I don't care," House said. "I am not taking any risks with you two."
