Just Drive

'Just drive,' she said desperately, need in her eyes. 'Okay,' he whispered, taking her hand and squeezing it gently

Sorry for the long delay, but life got in the way, like it does.

We're getting closer to the end, but if I get enough reviews, I may be able to draw it out :D That's a hint by the way ;)

Yawning and stretching out on the bed, Cuddy awoke feeling pretty good for once in a while. She decided to stand up and get ready for the day before waking up House.

Once she was on her feet, a wave of dizziness coursed through her, making her feel unbelievably nauseous and hardly unable to stand.

Summoning up all the strength she possessed, she practically sprinted to the bathroom, throwing up everything that her stomach had to offer, even bile.

She spent the next 10 minutes sitting by the toilet, her head resting on the seat, throwing up intermittently, recovering slightly, wiping her mouth and then going through the whole process once more.

Once she had decided that her body was finished with the throwing up, she attempted to stand, her attempt absolutely futile as she crashed down to the ground again.

Lifting her head up slightly, she began to crawl across the bathroom and into the bedroom, tears falling from her eyes and her breathing laboured at the effort it took to get to where she was.

Stopping and trying to breathe deeply, Cuddy had a few minutes to get her breath back and compose herself.

'Greg,' she said, as loud as she could, but it coming out quietly.

Taking more time to prepare herself, she inhaled deeply again and said louder, 'Greg!'

Hearing her, House sat bolt upright and looked for the source of the noise. His eyes diverted to Lisa, quite possibly the love of his life, lying on the floor, skin pale and sweaty and breathing jaggedly.

'Lisa,' he said in alarm, practically jumping out of bed and sitting by her side. He lifted her head gently onto his lap and stroked her hair.

'Lise, don't try to talk, just nod or shake your head, okay?' he said soothingly.

She made a feeble attempt at nodding her head.

'Were you sick again this morning?' he asked, receiving a nod from her.

'Was it worse than normal?' he asked, to which his reply was another feeble nod.

'Were you dizzy again?' he asked, his answer being another weak nod.

'Right, Lisa, I'm calling an ambulance, you can barely stand,' said House defiantly.

Cuddy shook her head in opposition violently.

'No arguments,' he declared to her, picking up the phone.

'911? Yeah, my partner's been really sick, she's thrown up everything, even stomach acid, and now she's practically unconscious on the floor. We're at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, room 456,' he said into the phone with an urgent tone of voice. 'Okay, thanks.'

He put the phone down and turned all of his attention to Lisa.

'Sweetie, I need you to try and stay awake for me. I'm just gonna get your bath robe and put on some pants,' he said, kissing her cheek and standing up, headed to the bathroom.

While he was gone, Cuddy looked around the room. She wanted to stand up. She didn't know why, she just wanted to.

She decided to do it in stages. First she got on to her hands and knees, then into a crouching position. Once she was crouching, the blood rushed to her feet and she fainted, falling to the floor.

Hearing the crash from the bedroom, House darted out of the bathroom and back to an unconscious Cuddy.

'Lise,' he said. 'You should've stayed where you were.'

He laid her head down on the floor and elevated Cuddy's legs on to top of the chest of drawers. Whilst waiting for the ambulance, House sat by Cuddy, stroking her face gently and trying to talk to her to make her come around.

There was a knock on the door. Leaving Lisa, he answered the door to 2 EMT's holding a gurney.

Instantaneously, they came in and checked Cuddy's vitals. Once they had finished that, they picked her up and laid her on the gurney, giving her an oxygen mask to regulate her breathing.

They wheeled her away, House following them. As they lifted her into the ambulance, House got in behind her, sitting next to her and holding her hand.

When they arrived at the hospital, they began to assess Cuddy. Bloods were sent off to the lab and her blood pressure and sugar was taken. Her blood pressure was found to be too low, the same with her blood sugar. To get her blood sugar up, they gave her glucose, and waited for the blood test results to come back.

House was extremely worried about Cuddy, he was panicking that she wouldn't be ok, that they wouldn't be able to have the future that they wanted with each other.

He didn't have a clue what it could be, and that was almost a first. It stumped him, because he always had a diagnostic answer for everything. He had started to wonder if maybe it was because he loved Lisa so much that his mind couldn't figure out the puzzle. He was simply too busy worrying.

He stood up when he saw the nurse run in holding a piece of paper with what seemed to have Cuddy's results on. Worrying about what the results could show, he followed her in.

'What's wrong with her?' asked House, every emotion he was feeling highlighted.

'She's anemic, which is fairly normal in your partner's condition, but we'll give her an iron supplement to take and she should be fine,' replied the doctor.

'Wait a second,' said House. 'What condition?'

'You didn't know?' asked the doctor. 'Lisa is pregnant.'

'We thought she might have been, but we didn't know for sure,' said House. 'We had unprotected sex about a week ago, and for the past day or two she's been feeling sick. Isn't it too early to tell?'

'It can be, but it showed up in the blood tests,' explained the doctor. 'She's in the very early stages.'

'She had a miscarriage almost 3 weeks ago,' said House. 'Will the baby be ok?'

'We'll monitor both of them closely now that we're aware of that fact,' reassured the doctor.

'Thank you,' said House. 'Can I see her?'

'Sure, she's a bit groggy but she's awake. She doesn't know what the blood tests show,' he replied.

'Okay,' said House. 'I'll tell her.'

He walked slowly up to the bed where Cuddy laid and sat down. Taking her hand and squeezing it softly, he said, 'Lise?'

She opened her eyes slowly and turned to face him. 'Hey,' she replied softly. 'What happened?'

'You passed out. Anemia caused all of the dizziness. They're giving you iron now,' said House soothingly.

'What caused the anemia?' asked Cuddy.

'Pregnancy,' said House proudly. 'We're going to have a baby!'

'Oh my God!' exclaimed Cuddy, pulling House into a hug. 'It's really happening. We're really going to do this.'
