While House sat at his desk, he pondered. It wasn't like the usual thinking he did in his office. This was the kind of life changing thinking that House rarely did. Yes, House thought about his life a lot, but not in this kind of light. He imagined himself in the light, but he never really thought that he would be in it. But, no it was too late. What could he do? This changes his life completely. Was he ready to come face to face with the truth?

House M.D.

"Am I ever going to meet your parents, James?" Wilson jumped a little in his chair, then put his hand over his heart.

"Rob, you scared me."He gathered himself for a moment."Why would you ask that?"

"Well,"Chase leaned against the back of Wilson's office door and put his hands in his pockets."your parents were in town Monday and Tuesday. I'm curious as to why I didn't meet them. We've been dating for about four months now and they still don't know about me. I wonder why?"

"Why do you think I'm still in denial?"

"Because..."

"Because what Rob? I know that I haven't told my parents yet, but I really don't tell my parents anything about my personal life. They didn't know about any of my wives, until I told them thhat we were engaged."

"Oh."

"I don't like my parents knowing about my relationships, because they ruin them, litterally. I was just looking out for you."

House M.D.

Wilson was finishing up on his clinic duty and was about to walk to his office when he saw somebody who looked like...

"House." Wilson ran up behind him and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"No, you have me mistaken with my father. I'm Doug Penderson." Doug looked just like a younger version of House without the gray hair and cane, even a little cuter. His features were softer than House's and his hair was fuller. When the young man soke his voice soft more soothing than House's, too.

"House has a son."This statement was said in pure disbelief and Wilson kept repeating it.

"Yeah, he didn't know about me, until a few days ago when he went to go talk to my mother. I would've met him, but I was on vacation from work."

"How old are you?"

"Thirty-two."

"You're thirty-two." Wilson said it louder than he meant to.

"Yeah, my parents had me when they were fourteen."

"Wow." They were quiet for a moment"What do you do for a living?"

"I'm a lawyer."

They spent a few mintues talking to eachj other, then Wilson talked about House.

House M.D.

Cameron knew that he was in there. It was Wednesday and Cuddy said that House checked into work today. Saying that she felt butterflies in her stomach would be an understatement. It seemed like she was standing outside his door for hours, when it had ben more like an hour. Trying to get House to forgive her would be a lost cause. Cameron walked to the cafeteria to get something to eat and sit down. Her legs were really tired.

As she ate, Cameron saw House walk into the caferteria. It wouldn't have bothered her as much if he was getting something to eat, but he was walking toward her. Getting up to get away from him would be too obvious, since he saw her look at him. Finally, he approached,thentable and sat down. He stole some of her fries off of her plate.

"Theonly the words hurt was, because they were said. I knew you might have felt that way, but I didn't want to believe it."

"House..."

"No,Cameron, listen to me. When I was fourteen I had sex and had gotten my girlfriend pregnant."House didn't look Cameron in the eyes."She also had sex with someone else and she thought she was pregnant by the other guy, because the dates didn't add up. She didn't know that you can concieve a child, even though you might have not had sex that day, but as long as you have had sex you can concieve. So, the day she did actually getpregnant was the day she cheated on me. My ex-girlfriend Penelope didn't know that she was pregnant before she cheated, so she told me about the whole thing and said the kid wasn't mine."Cameron tried to take his hand in hers, but he wouldn't let her."That's why I'm broken, besides the infarction. But, when I went to confront her a couple of days ago, I found out that I am the father."

"I don't mean to be rude, but why are you telling me this? I glad that you told me, but right now. Aren't you worried that someone will overhear or something?"

"I'm telling you, because you told me to approach you like a man and I don't know how to do that. I'm not looking for another chance, I just thought you should know how badly I was hurt and way I am this way towards dating. I was even this cold towrads Stacey, even though I asked her out. The only reason I was harder on you was, because you're young and naive. You underestimate what damaged you can really do. As far as people go, I really don't care who hears us." House got up and left.

A/N:I don't know how you'll feel about this chapter, but I kind of like it. Also, you can get pregnant a few days after you have sex. I didn't know that myself, but my mother told me. I would alsoget someone to beta-read for me, but my computer messes up and I'm barely getting along as it is. I'm sorry to leave the story as that, but I wanted to at least post something.
