House calls

Chapter 14: "A picture is worth more than a thousand words"

It was three days after Christmas and things were just starting to settle down for the normal world. People, as usual, were returning things that didn't fit or didn't work out, and others were off spending their gift cards.

House, Wilson, and Rebecca, however, were at their new home, getting all the furniture delivered and setting it up. They were all very excited. In the middle of the formal living room, all of their furniture was sitting in gigantic boxes. They still hadn't decided on who would get which room.

House went over to the master bedroom as quickly as his leg would allow, and then screamed, "Mine!"

Wilson sighed. He had wanted that room. Although, he knew he would never win an argument over House, and House needed the room on the first floor. He would never be able to make it up and down the stairs everyday.

Rebecca and Wilson started their way up the stairs. Rebecca went right, and Wilson went left. They looked at all of the rooms, and then Wilson claimed the one in the middle. After a long decision, Rebecca chose the one to the left of Wilson's room.

The movers started to move the heavy furniture, including the new beds for Rebecca and Wilson, up the stairs. House decided that he would keep his old bed.

Once all of the boxes were set in place, the movers left Wilson, House, and Rebecca to figure out how to put all the furniture together by themselves.

The three stood and stared at all of the boxes that crowded their living room.

"Screw it," House said, giving up. "I'm going to go swimming. Come on, Rodger. Get your bathing suit on and I'll heat up the hot tub."

Wilson scoffed. "I hope you realize that it's winter… and it's snowing!"

House shrugged. "So? That's why it's called a hot tub. It keeps you hot, even when you are cold!"

"Whatever…"

Before going into his room to change, House turned around and asked, "You coming with us?"

Wilson shrugged. "Sure. Why not?"

Wilson stood frozen outside. He had his flip-flops on and his bathing suit – no shirt. House and Rebecca were already in the hot tub. "Oh… my… god…" he said between shivers.

"Get in here, you wimp!" House exclaimed.

"I can't move…" he said in a tight voice. "So cold!"

Rebecca sighed. "It's not cold in here, Jimmy. Get your boo-hiney in here!"

House scoffed. "What a noob,"

Wilson waddled over like a penguin, with his arms tightly crossed across his chest, and his legs close together. He took off his shoe, stepping into the snow on the outside of the hot tub and then squealed when he dipped his foot in the water. "So hot!" he screamed.

House quickly grabbed his hand and then pulled his friend into the hot tub. Wilson screamed in protest.

"Oh! My! God!" Wilson exclaimed as he hit the burning hot water. Going from freezing cold to burning hot was not an easy transition for him.

Rebecca laughed a bit at Wilson's expense. He shot her a glance, but she kept laughing. "Jimmy, you are such a rookie," she laughed.

Wilson pointed a finger at her. "Not funny," he said and then quickly changed the subject, "When do you want to invite Cameron, Foreman, and Chase over to see our new house? They keep calling me, asking to swim in our hot tub and asking how our Christmas break is,"

"You mean how Christmas break was," House corrected him. "Today's the last day of break remember."

Rebecca sighed. "Darn. Christmas break is always the funest!"

House exclaimed in agreement, "I know!"

Wilson remembered that they still had to unpack all of those boxes of clothes, furniture, and other things.

They had a long day ahead of them.

After the three started to prune, they decided they should set up their new home. Only, there was one thing: They were locked out.

"Wilson you idiot!" House exclaimed.

Wilson was taken aback. "How was I supposed to know the door locked automatically?"

House had no answer. "Wilson, you idiot!" he repeated.

Rebecca mocked him by putting her hands on her hips and then pinching the bridge of her nose, just like Wilson. "Hi. My name's Jimmy. And I like to lock out my family in the wintery mixed death cold!"

It had begun to snow really hard. House had checked all the doors and all of them were locked. Who even locked them all in the first place?

"Where the hell's Lassie when you need him?" House wondered aloud.

Rebecca had hopped back into the hot tub. Wilson and House stood soaking wet and frozen outside by the back door. Worst of all, they didn't bring the towels outside! Wilson was afraid the towels would get too cold from the snow.

House turned to Wilson and pointed an accusing finger at him. "If I get pneumonia and die, I'm blaming you!" He said, and then jumped back into the hot tub with Rebecca.

Wilson started near the hot tub, but then House stopped him. "No!" House exclaimed. "You're not getting in until you find a way in," he said.

"But I'll freeze to death out here!" he protested.

House scoffed. "Too bad, so sad. You better find a way in… And fast! You don't want to die of hypothermia!" He turned to Rebecca and sighed. "What a douche bag!"

Rebecca nodded vigorously. "I don't even know what a douche bag is and I agree with you!"

Wilson sighed and went to the side of the house, where he checked all of the windows to see if maybe, just maybe one was open.

He got to one that was indeed open, which led into the dining room, and he had to use all of his might to break the seal of ice that held it from opening.

Once he got inside, he quickly wrapped himself in a random pink, fuzzy towel, probably one of Rebecca's, he found lying on the ground and allowed time to warm up a bit. He put some dry clothes on and unlocked the back door. House and Rebecca quickly raced through the door, soaking wet in water, letting it drip onto the floor.

"You're getting the floor all wet! Our brand new wood flooring!" Wilson shrieked.

House shrugged and limped into his room. The shower was quickly started after he closed the door.

Rebecca's teeth were chattering from being in the snow so long and she slowly walked over to the boxes of her clothes and pulled out some pink and orange polk-a-dotted pajamas and then waddled up the stairs and into her room.

Wilson didn't need to change, and so he began to unpack the boxes. He separated the items into four categories: a pile for Rebecca, one for him, one for House, and other random items.

He stumbled across a picture that Chase had taken of Rebecca, House, and him in House's office. House had a goofy smile on his face, Rebecca looked really pissed off, and he looked totally spooked. Rebecca was wearing the lab coat, which did not fit her. Wilson laughed out loud and set it aside in the "random items" pile.

Rebecca and House came out of their rooms at the same time. It was kind of creepy how the managed to do that, or so Wilson thought.

Wilson held up the picture. "Look at this picture I found," he said with a chuckle.

House grabbed it from him and looked at it. A smile stretched across his face. "We should get this enlarged and then mount it about the fireplace," he said and helped to unpack the boxes.

"Lemme see!" Rebecca exclaimed and ran over to Wilson. She laughed when she saw the picture. "That was that day when I solved that one case!"

He nodded and then set the picture down on the kitchen table. While searching through other boxes, he found his digital camera. "We should make a scrapbook," he suggested and turned on the camera.

Wilson took a picture of House and Rebecca working together to unpack a box of blankets and sheets.

House stole the camera from him and then took a picture of Wilson attempting to set up Rebecca's new bed. House just had to laugh. His friend looked so stupid in the picture. He had a very confused look on his face and he was trying to read the instructions.

Finally, after a couple hours, the sun was setting and their work was almost finished. They only had to unpack the kitchen stuff. Wilson was already on top of that, and was putting away pots and pans in the cabinets.

Rebecca had already crashed on the couch. She had set up her room the way she liked it. They had planned to paint her room pink tomorrow.

House was struggling to set up the TiVo. All the wires and instructions were so confusing!

Wilson came over to help him, and finally they had the TV up and running. House was already scanning the new channels that they had gotten with the new service they got. "Oh wow! We have discovery channel, now!" he called out, excitedly. His other TV was a piece of crap compared to their new HDTV.

There was a program on Antarctica. "Hey look! Wilson, you're on TV!" House exclaimed.

Wilson quickly turned around and saw the penguins on the TV. "Ha ha. Very funny, House."
