12 Years 5 Months 1 Week

Almost Twelve and a half years House had been drug free. Wilson died eight years ago, today was a day of bets, pranks, and mischief in his honor. Not that the other days didn't hold that, today was special.

House couldn't stop grinning. Chase had taken over Wilson's office in the end. After many quick rotations of doctors not able to handle their new neighbor Foreman wisely moved Chase in.

Chase was now the co-head of the Diagnostics department. Five ducklings between the two of them. With Chase on board with his pretty smile they were able to fully fund the department on gifts alone. This also meant that both doctors could spend more time with their families.

Chase stepped into the role with ease and understanding that he was still under House. He also knew that taking over Wilson's office mean pranks. 18 Years of knowing House meant that he knew the game and played it well. Secretly enjoyed it.

So, House sat in his office peeking out the back door waiting for Chase to arrive.

"Testing is back." House didn't look towards the voice, continuing his watch.

"What did they say?"

"You will have to read them yourself but I personally like page 4 paragraph 1." She stated throwing the papers on his desk. House looked up at his wife and raised an eye. "Something about his three wishes."

Quickly forgetting about next door House picked up the packet of paper.

'Psycho-Educational Evaluation of Joshua Wilson House, 8 years old'. Skimming the pages he quickly noted that Josh was in the very superior range in pretty much every test. That wasn't why they were testing him, well partially.

Flipping to page 4 he noted it was the emotional part of the test. Josh, failed to stay focused in school. Cameron wanted to make sure it was academic boredom and not an underlying issue. Looked like academic boredom to House. Skimming paragraph one on page four he found what his wife wanted him to see. His son had to say three wishes 'He wished Pokémon were real, wished his dad's sarcasm level would decrease and that he could visit all the places with his dad that his dad did with Wilson.'

House smiled and looked up at Cameron.

"You can start taking him to the kid appropriate places now. You have to wait for the other places."

"Even Candy?" House asked with glee.

"Pretty sure Candy won't be there anymore."

"There is always a new batch of Candy at strip clubs." House said wiggling his eyes suggestively. Cameron merely rolled her eyes.

Just then a crash noise followed by "House" could be heard.

"Got to go." House said jumping quickly from his seat and out the back door.

House was already jumping the wall between offices when he heard Cameron yell after him "Remember to pick the kids up from school.
