Title: Pride
Rating: Hmm…PG-13
Summary: Cuddy's
always had her pride.
Pride.
It was one thing she had always because she was a hospital administrator; it was in the job description.
So when she was in the supply closet on the third floor with Dr Cameron for the second time that week, and found her pride being stripped from her with every piece of clothing that hit the floor, her dignity lost like that button on her shirt, they both promised to keep it a secret.
So when she decided to tell House she had someone else to give her hormone injections, and ignored his comments about them breaking up their beautiful relationship, feeling a blush creep into her cheeks when he asked who his replacement was, she kept who it was a secret.
Because she knew being a lesbian wasn't in the job description. And unfortunately people today were mostly prejudiced bastards. That coming out wouldn't go down so well. And she wanted to keep her pride.
