" What"? Samantha gasped.
" He was going to get some stuff for dinner for us. The kids were staying at Laura's and the next thing I know I'm getting a call from Chase saying he's in surgery". Cuddy explained.
" I'm on my way. It's eight thirty. I can be there in about twenty minutes".
" Alright I'll see you there".
" Mom, dad'll be fine".
" I hope so". She said and hung up. Samantha got up off the couch and ran up to her and Brad's bedroom. She changed into sweats and a tank top with slippers and her hair in a messy ponytail. She put her glasses on because she had taken her contacts out and grabbed her car keys and wallet. She ran down into the living room and out the door with her phone without a word to Brad. He sat on the couch gawking at the front door. Samantha got into her car and tears started falling. She drove to the hospital thinking about things. She had her little brothers and sisters and then she got into thinking about her kids. She ran into the hospital and then went upstairs. She looked tired. Her mom was in the waiting room. Cuddy got up at the first sight of her daughter. Samantha wrapped her mother in a hug.
" Mom he'll be okay". Samantha whispered.
" I don't know what's going on". Cuddy said when they broke the embrace. They sat down and Samantha was surfing the web on her phone. About an hour or two later Chase walked out.
" Cuddy, Samantha". He acknowledged.
" Chase what the hell is going on"? Samantha asked.
" His spleen ruptured and he has several lacerations and bruises from the impact".
" Is he okay"?
" He's fine. He's also going to be in and out of conciseness for awhile. You guys should go home and get some rest".
" Chase, I can't do that not when it's my husband in the hospital".
" Me either. He's my dad and he might be a pain in the ass but I love him anyways".
" Samantha, Cuddy just go home. Sam, you have kids at home and a husband. Cuddy go home and wait for me to call". Wilson came running towards them.
" What's going on"?
" House's spleen ruptured in the crash and he's got cuts and bruises". Cuddy filled him in.
" Delilah scared me when she said House is the hospital".
" He's fine just he's high on morphine probably and won't be himself. Wait I don't think he ever isn't himself". Samantha's phone started ringing.
" Hey babe". Samantha answered.
" What's going on"?
" Dad got into an accident. I'm sorry I just got up and left but it's my dad and I know Jamie is on her way. If the kids wake up and ask where mommy is just tell them that I went to go get some stuff for dinner tomorrow. And crap I have my final paper do for Mr. Grant and Mrs. Miller".
" I'll get Jenny and Kimberlyn to watch the kids I'm coming up to the hospital".
" I'll call Jen and Kim. I'll call you right back". She hung up the phone. She called Jenny and Kimberlyn and they said they'd watch the kids knowing how close Samantha was to her father. Brad arrived about a half an hour later in a Marines t-shirt he'd got from his brother Jeff, sweats, tennis shoes, and his glasses. Yes Samantha and him both wore contacts and glasses. Samantha ran down to him and practically jumped into his arms crying. It was like in those movies when two people haven't seen each other in a long time and reunite even though she'd just seen him.
" Shh, baby I'm here". He whispered in her ear. She was short and he was tall. Strange combo but that's how it was with all of Cuddy's girls and husbands. Trevor was taller then Jamie by a lot. Jamie was 5'5 and Trevor 6'2. Samantha 5'3 and Brad 6'2. Taller the better. It seemed like they led by example. House was a lot taller then Cuddy.
" He's my dad Brad". She sobbed into his shirt.
" I know baby. Lets go wait to see him". She let go and took his hand as they walked back to the waiting room. She sat down next to him and fell asleep on his shoulder at about eleven.

Next morning...
Samantha woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She got off of Brad's shoulder and grabbed her phone. She looked at the screen it was Chase.
" Hello". She answered groggy and trying to get familiar to her surroundings.
" Hey you should come down to your fathers room". He said. She got up and purposely woke up Brad in the process and walked down the hallway talking to Chase. She hung up and saw her dad through the glass. Her mom by his side, with her head resting on his bed holding his hand.
" Mom". She said quietly. Cuddy's head lifted up and Samantha could see her mom's red eyes.
" What's going on"?
" Your dad doesn't remember you. He remembers everybody else but you". Cuddy said.
" What"!? She gasped.
" Yeah. He remembers his grandchildren and children and their spouses but he doesn't remember you".
" I'm his first child for god's sake. I should be the one he remembers".
" Samantha, go home and I'll tell you if anything happens".
" Mom". She protested.
" Samantha go".
" Mom, I'm not going until I know my father remembers me end of story". Samantha said in professional voice. She gave her mom her 'look'. It's like the Gibbs stare but the look Samantha had, had since she was about three. It was stern professional I'm not backing down kind of look. She was so good at it.
" Samantha Elizabeth, don't give me that look".
" What look"? She said innocently knowing the look she'd given her mother.
" You know what look".
" I'm nineteen mother I can give you whatever the hell look I want".
" No you can't. I'm your mother what I say goes".
" That would've worked if I was thirteen. I'm not thirteen anymore. I'm six years over that". Samantha realized she had almost known about her biological father for six years. And in that amount of time. Four marriages, six grand kids, five kids six counting Rachel and a number of family events. She really didn't think they'd been through that much. Jake and Andrew. His dad. Everything. She wanted her dad to remember her. She was a daddy's girl and she wanted him back. That's all she wanted.
