I think I'll start exercising properly before school starts... I'm getting fat by sitting around :D

Wilson looked up when House abruptly opened the door to his office and stood in front of him without saying anything.

"Hey, how's Cuddy?"

When Cuddy passed out, House had paged him so he knew what was going on but he had gone back to his office when he realized House wanted to be alone. Now he was waiting in his office for this exact moment. Wilson hoped there wasn't anything wrong.

"Cuddy's got a bun in her oven." He announced.

"What?"

"She's got a little House inside her little house." House said like it was the most casual thing to say and sat down on his couch.

"Whoa what?"

"She's hosting a parasite. Cuddy goes mom. I can do this all day if you still refuse to understand."

"Wow House, this is big." Wilson tried to pull himself together, his mouth still open.

"Tell me about it…"

Wilson leaned back in his chair, trying to process the news. They were doctors for god's sake! How could they not have used protection? "What are you gonna do?"

"What can I do? She wants the kid."

"And you don't?"

House paused and looked down before speaking again. "I don't know."

"Where is she now?"

"Downstairs, in her room."

"Who's with her?" Wilson asked, getting up.

"No one."

"What?" his expression changed. "You left her alone?"

"Relax, some nurses are probably looking out for their precious Dean. Who knows maybe they'll get a raise…"

Wilson got even angrier at his response. "She's a pregnant woman who literally just passed out. God knows what her BP and blood sugar is. She is your wife, House! Not to mention she's carrying your child and you left her alone?!"

"I know that alright?" House finally got up too, raising his voice. "Stop repeating it like I'm some kind of an idiot!"

"House, I didn't-"

"You're the one to give relationship advices when you've been married three times and your first wife kicked you out because you were cheating!"

"Hey, don't deflect this on me! This is your problem and when you screw it up, it's your wife and kid hanging on the balance, not mine!"

Tension was surrounding them and there was hostility coming from both men, which thankfully they didn't make any move to act upon. House sighed and turned away from him, facing the window.

"I don't know what to do…" he finally muttered softly.

Wilson had never seen his friend being so lost. He was a genius when it came to his work but he was so clueless and inexperienced at family matters.

"You're going to go out there and you're going to face her."

"What if she doesn't want to see me?"

"We both know you're the only one she does wanna see right now. She loves you, House."

"Yeah…" House whispered more to himself than Wilson.

He started hitting his cane on the floor in a slow but steady rhythm, thinking. The complexity of the situation causing the pain in his thigh grew more intense. His hand went to his leg, rubbing it and trying to ease the pain but no use. The dull ache wasn't going away when his mind was like this.

He thought about Cuddy and the baby inside of her. His baby. Stacy had never been pregnant, they were always too careful but this wasn't the case with Cuddy. For some reason he had eliminated that chance or he was always way too aroused by her to think about simple things like condoms. Simple, yeah right… A little part of him was actually happy for Cuddy. She was finally getting what she wanted but that wasn't the case for him.

He then remembered his own childhood. His mother way always nice to him, taking care of him when he was sick, teaching him how to play piano, protecting him from his father time to time. He didn't want Cuddy to do the last one. What if he'd turn out to be a crappy dad and his own kid ended up being scared from him? He thought about how bad it was, having to loathe your father even if you didn't want to.

He wouldn't want anyone else to go through what he had gone through, especially his own child. It wasn't his life anymore, now he had two other people to take care of. He had to stop being selfish.

Turning around to face Wilson who was still standing there, waiting for his friend to make up his mind, he spoke. "What do you think? Boy or girl?" he tried to lighten up the situation but couldn't mask the fact that he was excited.

Wilson chuckled slightly, glad to see him back. "Let's hope he's healthy first."

"You said he." House's face lit up. "Come on, let's go visit the Mom-zilla."

Let me know what you think :D
