The team looked up when Rob and Jessica came through the door, arguing. Jessica sounded very frustrated, "-just don't tell people because something mildly related comes up."
The stopped in the middle of the outer office. Rob pointed to her sister and announced loudly, "She lost her virginity when she was 17!" Jessica's eyes closed, and she sighed, not being able to believe that she had gone over two decades without killing her sister. Rob looked at her with a smile, "There, that wasn't midly related to what they were talking about." She faced forward again, lost the smile, and drew her eyebrows together when she saw 13, "Who's this, and why do I care?"
13 didn't answer for a minute, still trying to process this, but she gave up on trying and said, "13. Who are you?"
Before Jessica had a chance to give their names, Rob answered, "The Wonder Twins." She looked at her sister, "Doesn't explain why I care."
"I think this is the girl Greg wanted us to meet."
"Did-Did you just call House 'Greg'?" Thirteen asked.
"Duh," Rob answered. "Do you call your cousin by his last name?" She looked at Jessica with a thoughtful expression, knowing that 13 had had to come up in one of her and House's conversations. "Oh! Your the bisexual chick! Sorry, I didn't actually bother to learn your name, I just said Huntingtons whenever something about you came up. Well, I'm off to see Wilson's chicken."
Jessica shook her head as her sister walked out of the office, "I'm sorry about her. We had a limited sample for influence."
"Ho bag!" Rob stopped walking and spun around slowly.
Her eyes widened. "Bennet!" She ran at the tall, pretty cute, athletically built brunette in his early twenties. She slammed into him and put her arms around his waist, knocking the wind out of him. She let go, "I haven't seen you, what the hell?"
"Hey, you came to my state. I didn't even know you were in town. Why didn't you come to see me?"
"Ben!" Jessica exclaimed. It sort of surprised people that she ran to him. With heels. When she got to him, she threw her arms around his neck, and her knees bent.
He stumbled backwards, "Whoa!" He put his arms around her lower back, and tried not to let the suit jacket over his arm fall, "I may be in good shape, but not good enough to hold your fat ass."
"Hey!" She let go and let her feet hit the ground, "I resent that." She turned around and looked over her shoulder at her butt, "I run hard for this thing."
He shook his head, "Whatever. Um, Rob?" He nodded at the team.
She looked at them and took a step back, "Oh," she said, putting an arm around his waist and sounding bored with the idea of them being there, "this is Ben."
"He your boyfriend?" Chase asked.
She looked at Ben with a slightly confused look, "Not unless I suddenly grew a penis." She grabbed her boobs, and pulled the waistband of her jeans away from her body and looked down. "Nope. Still a girl."
"He's gay," Jessica explained. He rolled up the sleeve on his left arm and lifted it to show the rainbow braclet. "I want one of those."
"Talk to my mother, or go buy one from anywhere." Jessica smiled and pushed him.
"We have known him since we were like, 5." Jessica said, still beaming.
Rob turned to him, completely ignoring the team, "I didn't know if you were gonna be home, Mr. Fancy Coporate Mama's Boy." She said in defense, continuing their conversation.
"Hey, the world of fashion is a and chaotic and busy one."
"A gay guy in fashion," she said sarcastically, "go figure."
"And an asshole in art," he said in the same tone, "go figure." She smiled. "Speaking of which, how are your favorite models?"
"You didn't see Lisa on your way up?"
"I saw her office, but she wasn't in it."
She sighed, "Probably some afternoon delight with Greg."
Ben's eyes widened, "No."
"Yes."
He looked at the more reliable twin, who nodded, "They got together."
"Oh my god. Girl," he looked at Rob, "you have so many bets to collect on."
"I do. Oh, I'd forgotten about those. Sadly, in total I'll only be like, 20 bucks richer."
"Good, you can buy me lunch."
She rolled her eyes, "Hell, we'll spend that much just drivin to their houses. If they still live here."
"They do," he nodded. "Hey..." he watched House limped closer. "It's the cripple that made it all possible."
Any wonder about who it was completely erased from House's mind, and he rolled his eyes, "Oh god."
Bennet smiled, "I knew you'd remember me."
House glanced down to the color on the young man's wrist, "I called it."
"Yeah, you called it when I had a crush on Rob."
House looked at his cousin, "You turned him gay at five?"
"No, it's because he never had me that he turned gay." She corrected.
"By the way, kudos on the hottie." House nodded. "You know, I was really pulling for you and Jimmy," he smirked when House shook his head and turned around.
"And you tell me you weren't flaming at a young age." He called.
"Let's go get my money," Rob said.
"Thought you wanted to go see WIlson's chicken?" Jessica smirked.
"Forget Wilson's chicken! I wanna go get my money!"
Ben raised his hand as they started to walk away, "I wanna see it."
Jessica smiled and pushed him again, "There will be no seeing of James Wilson's rooster. I'm going to have nightmares tonight with just that thought in my head."
Thirteen looked at Chase, "I thought House and Cuddy broke up."
Immediately, Rob stopped walking. She turned around slowly, and her sister knew something happened. She hadn't heard it, but she knew it was big. Rob kept walking until she reached 13, and asked in a low voice, "What?"
"Man, I hate being at bat." Rob whined.
Jessica shook her head while putting her hair back into a ponytail, then slipped it through the back of her cap. "Well, that's the way we get points."
"Yeah, but you don't do anything. It's boring."
House set a lawn chair down by them and fell into it, "When are you guys up, this is boring."
"Told you," Rob shook her head at her sister.
"I can't believe I'm spending my Saturday watching 10-year-olds play softball. I don't even like these people."
"Then why'd you come?" Jessica put her hand on her waist.
"I felt I should show my support for the people I do like, and hellp you guys win...or something."
"So Mom's making you," she shrugged.
"Tell anyone at the hospital, and I'll make sure everyone knows I've seen your mom naked." He threatened.
"You realize that she would just kill you. And if anyone at the hospital knew, it could be Wilson, or Lisa."
He groaned, "Why did you even invite her?"
"Cause I like her."
"...You have that tone."
"House!"
"Speak of the she-devil," he mumbled.
Cuddy walked over and pointed behind her, "Did you take that guy's chair?"
"You took his chair?" Jessica looked at him in disbelief.
"No!" He said in his obviously fake offended voice. "What kind over cripple," he lifted his cane, Jessica and Cuddy just rolled their eyes, "would come to a sports event without something to sit on?"
"Uh, you?" Cuddy guessed sarcastically. "You said there would be bleachers."
"Did not, I would never chance that only the bottom seats would be open."
"That is exactly what you did. We both rode with Wilson. He pointed that out."
"That I'm a responsible adult that always thinks ahead?"
She scoffed, "No."
"Excuse me guys," the girls' coach came over, "the girls at bat can't concentrate."
"Sorry," Cuddy appologized. She grabbed House's arm, pulled him up, and led away.
"Wow," the twins' friend Tina rested her arm on the top of the bat, "they really hate eachother."
"Eh," Rob took House's vacated seat.
"Oh come on," Jessica rolled her eyes and squished into the chair next to her sister.
"Hey," she looked at her, "you're the advocate."
"Doesn't mean they don't want to strangle eachother."
"Agreed," she nodded. "But he is definitely tearing off her clothes with his eyes right now."
"Why do you have to put that in my head?" Tina grimaced. "And he doesn't want a thing with her. He's still hung up on Stacy."
"Well duh," Rob shook her head, "but that won't stop him from hooking up with Lisa."
"It will stop him seriously, he's so going to get back with Stacy."
Jessica scoffed, "No. That's not happening. Neither of them don't want the other back enough to actually come back. I'm willing to bet money that he and Lisa start something."
"Please," Rob rolled her eyes in mock annoyance when Ben sat on the ground next to her, "it's all about House and Wilson."
"Nuh uh," Jessica shook her head, "he loves chillin with Wilson, but the nudity thing is not going to happen."
"Now you're putting things in my head," Tina closed her eyes and shook her head, trying to empty her head of intrusive thoughts.
"What are we talking about?" Two more of their friends came over and sat down in front of the twins.
"Tina thinks Greg is hung up on Stace, I say Greg is hooking up with Lise, and Ben says..." Jessica looked around her sister at the boy, who shook his head.
"I was kidding, smart money's on the boss."
"No way," Steph shook her head, "there's no way she would put up with him. And Stacy would be insane to come back."
"She was insane to get with him in the first place," Emma argued, "she's coming back."
"Care to put money on it?" Rob suggested innocently. "$5?
"I'm in," Jessica immediately agreed.
"Yeah," Tina nodded.
"Confidence is my middle name," Steph stated.
After some thought, Emma nodded. "Sweet." Rob smiled.
"What's the time line?" Tina asked.
"Isn't one," Rob shook her head, "it happens, you get money." She smirked when she saw Cuddy and House walking back towards them. She kept walking, but he stopped.
When she was out of ear shot, he told Rob and Jessica to stand up, then pushed the chair backwards. "I thought you said that was your chair?" Jessica gave him a knowing smirk.
Which he chose to ignore, "Hell no. You think I'd lug a lawn chair around. Well, some idiot is dying. Kick ass," he put his fist out to Rob, and limped away when she hit it with hers.
She watched him leave, then looked back at the group with a smirk, "Anyone care to say if their wager holds?"
