Chapter 2
Michelle stepped back and smiled at Cuddy. Cuddy smiled back. Michelle went back to her car and started to play with it. Cuddy got up off the floor and set down at her desk. For a few minutes she watched as Michelle played with her toy car, thinking about how her child would turn out. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't notice House walk in her door. With his backpack over his shoulder, he walked over to Cuddy's desk. Knowing that she wasn't paying attention to him, he limped over and stood in front of her.
"House, what do you want," Cuddy said irritated. Hearing her father's name, Michelle turned around.
"Hi daddy," Michelle greeted. House winked at his daughter and turned his attention back to Cuddy.
"Cuddy, I'm going to need to go home early today."
"Can I asked why?"
"Have to get ready for my poker game."
"House, that is not an excuse to go home early." Cuddy glanced over at her clock on the wall. It read 3:02pm.
"Please," House begged. Cuddy being really amused by the fact that he was begging, smiled. "What are you smiling at," House asked?
Michelle walked over and stood beside her father. "You no what House, you can leave early if you put in 2 more clinic hours for everyday next day." House had to think about it for a minute, but finally said yes. He looked down at Michelle and then back at Cuddy.
"Cuddy, can I ask you another question?" Cuddy rolled her eyes and nodded her head. "Can you watch Michelle for the weekend, I don't want her to be around when we start the poker game." Michelle smiled at Cuddy as if to say yes. Cuddy hesitated for a minute, then she said yes.
Michelle jumped up and down saying yeah. Cuddy smiled at her. House went over and picked up his daughter. "Thanks, come pick her up at 6:00 from my house." He walked towards the door.
"See you later Cuddy," Michelle said happily.
