Part: 31
Don't own House
Today was the day of the baby shower. Wilson and House didn't know what the other had up their sleeve yet. All Greg knew was after work he was going home where a few friends were coming over. Yes Greg was at work today. Since there weren't any new cases he was in the clinic. No he wasn't using the wheelchair because of the fact that it was a little hard to do when in such a small room. But he did use it when he wasn't in the room.
After work Wilson stayed for awhile so that he could get everything in order. Paperwork wise that was. Since he wasn't going to the house tonight or that's what Greg thought he was going to go tomorrow.
"You ready to go?" Lisa asked coming into his office.
Over the last couple of weeks they'd started to get serious about each other. No one knew though because they may think Wilson was taking advantage.
"Yes," Wilson said grabbing the coat he'd worn that morning since it was still a little chilly even though it was April.
After they left the hospital they went back to Cuddy's place to change. Cuddy wasn't wearing what she'd been wearing all day to the party. Well that was part of the reason. She also didn't want Greg making more comments then he already had.
"Ready to go?" Wilson asked seeing Lisa coming out her room.
"Yeah," Lisa said. She had decided to wear a pair of jean and a light sweater since it was a little cool out but not too bad.
Oh yeah since Stacy was in such a rush to get out of the hospital today House missed his 8th month check-up. Oh well he was going to it tomorrow. It'd be Wilson (like always), Stacy and Blythe who was still staying with Greg and Stacy. She had wanted to be there for her son in his time of need. Now was her turn. She was going to be staying until the birth of her granddaughter. Then Greg was going to go back and help her get the house ready for sell. She had decided that she wanted to be closer to her son and granddaughter.
Once Wilson and Cuddy got to the house they called Stacy to make sure it was alright to come in.
"Why does it seem like every time I come over you're watching Finding Nemo?" Wilson asked.
"Maybe because I am," House said from his place on the couch.
"What is your obsession with it?" Wilson asked.
"It's the one movie I can watch where your daughter will be totally quite," House said turning over to look up at Wilson.
House had been on the couch that faced the 32 inch flat panel TV.
"Hmm," Wilson said taking off his coat.
"What are you two doing here?" House asked realizing that Cuddy was with him.
"Came to see you," Cuddy said.
"Together?" House asked raising an eyebrow. Now a days you could tell he was pregnant. His stomach stuck out more. He'd had to finally go up to that 25 pants. But the thing that House liked about his baby bump was it held drinks really well. He could put his glass on his stomach and it'd stay there. As long as his daughter didn't kick that spot it would.
"I just brought her from work," Wilson said.
"No you didn't," House said.
"Actually he did. I had a change of clothes in my office that I'd brought this morning," Cuddy said.
"Hmm," House said buying the lie.
"Come on in," Stacy said.
Not two minutes later the door bell rang again. This time it was Foreman and his girlfriend. Followed shortly by Chase, Cameron and the twins. They couldn't find a babysitter that night. Ok fine they could but Stacy told them to bring the twins. House loved having them around. He noticed that if they were fussy then all he had to do was hold them close and they would quite down. Stacy thought that maybe it was because of the baby House carried. House just said he was that good.
"Let me guess this party is a baby shower?" House asked.
"I'll take that as a yes," House said seeing the look on Stacy's face.
"How did I know?" House asked when Stacy started muttering that.
"Yeah," Wilson said.
"Not too hard to figure out. Any genus could figure it out," House said.
"Really?" Wilson asked eyebrow raised.
"Fine my daughter told me," House said.
"Really?" Wilson asked eyebrow still raised.
"Overheard Stacy talking to you one night," House said.
"Figures," Stacy said.
"Not my fault that you talk so loudly," House said.
"Do not," Stacy said.
"Do too," House said.
"Whatever," Stacy said knowing that she wasn't going to get anywhere with him.
"Let's get this thing started," House said.
So everyone went back out to their cars to get the presents. Stacy and Wilson had told them what they hadn't gotten yet. Mostly it was blankets and clothing. Not because of the sex thing of the baby. Ok part of the reason but mostly because they didn't know how big she would be. They did buy some clothes, well 200 dollars worth. But they all were too big for a new born. They didn't want to get the new born size and then have her not fit into them. Of course House knew none of this yet. Or the surprise that Wilson had in store for him. Nor did Wilson know what House had in store for him either.
"We still have one more surprise for you," Stacy said after House had opened all of the presents.
"What?" House asked.
"Follow me," Stacy said getting up.
"Hold on," House said trying to get off the couch. Usually if no one was home he'd just roll off the couch and then boost himself up. It was a lot of work to do that. But when you got to go you got to go.
"Here," Wilson said holding out his hand.
"Thanks," House said taking a hold and then getting up.
Once House was steady on his feet which Wilson made sure of before moving away from him they all followed Stacy up the stairs. She stopped at a bedroom that was right next to her and Greg's.
"Got a car in there?" House asked.
"No," Stacy said.
"Motor cycle?" Greg asked.
"Just close your eyes," Stacy said smiling ear to ear.
"Fine," House said rolling his eyes and then closing then.
Stacy put her hands over his eyes to make sure he didn't peak.
Once they got into the room she let him see it. Once the lights were on she about flipped.
Instead of the job she and Wilson had done now stood better art work. Half way up the wall was the ocean. It looked like something out of the movie. There was Nemo, his father, the turtle and some of the other people. The boarder was still there. The amazing thing was all the characters were hand painted. The crib had finding Nemo sheets along with Nemo himself in the crib. Yes even the mobile was Nemo too. The rocking chair had a blanket draped over the back of it. Yes they even had finding Nemo diapers. You could say they went Nemo crazy.
"Got to give you credit," House said.
"I didn't do this," Stacy said mouth still opened.
"Mom?" House asked turning to her.
"No I didn't either son," Blythe said.
"Then who?" House asked looking around.
"I did," Wilson said raising his hand.
"Who'd you have called in?" House asked.
"No one I did it myself," Wilson said putting his hand back down.
"Why didn't you tell me to begin with?" Stacy asked.
"I wanted it to be a surprise. Really I didn't think it was that good of art work," Wilson said.
"Are you stupid? It's freaking amazing!" House said.
"No it's not. All it is, is traces from a book that I did on the wall and then painted," Wilson said.
"Wilson to be able to make them so life like that takes talent," House said.
"No big deal," Wilson said.
"Hey what was that for?" Wilson asked rubbing his head.
"Take the credit man. You're good," House said.
"Thanks," Wilson said.
After everyone was done being amazed by the baby's room they all went back down stairs.
"Who could that be?" Stacy asked hearing the doorbell.
"I'll get it," House said.
"Ok," Stacy said sitting back down.
A couple minutes later House came back with a woman and girl no older then maybe ten.
"Stacy what are you doing here?" Wilson asked looking up at the older woman.
"He called me. Told me that you were dieing and wanted to see Sam before going," Stacy said turning to look at House.
"Oops," House said putting his hand on his mouth.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Wilson asked getting up.
"Now," Wilson said when House was about to say something.
"We'll be right back," House said.
"What?" House asked after they stepped outside.
"Why did you tell her that?" Wilson asked crossing his arms for effect and to keep warm.
"Because I felt like it," House said.
"Why?" Wilson asked not believing that House did that.
Yes he very much wanted to see his daughter but not because House told her mom that he was dieing.
"You wanted to see her so here she is," House said pointing to the living room where they could see the others inside.
"God Greg why did you have to do this? Why now?" Wilson asked.
"What? Here she is go see her," House said heading to the door.
"Why does he have to be so stubborn?" Wilson asked looking up to the sky ok the porch but the sky was just after that.
"Who are you talking about?" Sam asked coming out of the house.
"Sorry didn't hear you come out," Wilson said not seeing House standing by the window inside.
"It's ok I can be quite like that," Sam said.
"Guess you get that from me," Wilson said taking a seat on the swing.
"So how have you been dad?" Sam asked like she talked to her father every single day.
"You seem to be taking this in stride," Wilson said.
"I've known that Charles wasn't my father since I was six," Sam said.
"Does your mom know?" Wilson asked.
"Yeah she found me looking at a picture once. I knew that he wasn't my father because I didn't look anything like him. Then I found a picture of you and mom in her year book. That's when I realized that you must be my father because I looked like you," Sam said.
It was true she did look like Wilson. She had the same light brownish hair and midnight eyes. She was a little shorter then he was but that wasn't surprising since her mom wasn't a tall woman.
"How did Charles take it when you told him?" Wilson asked.
"He wouldn't let me talk about it at all," Sam said.
"I'm sorry about that," Wilson said.
"So why didn't you come get me?" Sam asked.
"What do you mean?" Wilson asked.
"If you knew about me why didn't you want me?" Sam asked feeling tears coming to her eyes.
"Sam I didn't know about you until a couple of months ago. Your mom didn't want me to see you. Since you'd been raised by this other man she wanted it to stay that way," Wilson said putting his arm around his daughter's shoulders.
"It wasn't me who didn't want you to come around it was Charles," Stacy said.
"What happened to your eye?" Wilson asked seeing the bruise on it.
"Oh I just ran into a door," Stacy said not looking James in the eyes.
"Stacy I know when you're lying. You always were a terrible liar. What really happened?" Wilson asked getting up.
"Nothing," Stacy said backing away from Wilson.
"Stacy what is it?" Wilson said.
"Charles hit me by accident. He didn't mean to it was a one time thing," Stacy said.
"One time thing my ass," Sam said.
"What do you mean?" Wilson asked.
"He gets drunk and beats up on her all the time," Sam said.
"No he doesn't. I deserve it when it happens," Stacy said.
"Stacy no one deserves to be hit," Wilson said.
"It's fine," Stacy said.
"Mom just let him help," Sam said getting up.
Unknown to any of them Cuddy was watching all of this from the window.
'So much for us,' Cuddy thought to herself.
"Come on Sam we need to go," Stacy said.
"No I want to stay with him," Sam said grabbing onto Wilson's arm.
"Come on Sam," Stacy said stressing it more that it was time to go.
"Just let her stay with me," Wilson said.
"No we need to go," Stacy said.
"Stacy you can't be going back to him. It's not good for you and it sure as hell isn't for her," Wilson said.
"Fine I'll see you tomorrow," Stacy said.
"No you're both going to stay with me tonight," Wilson said.
"We can't do that to you," Stacy said.
"I insist," Wilson said.
"No we need to get home. Charles is expecting us," Stacy said.
"Stacy this man isn't worth it. I can get you help if you'll let me," Wilson said.
"How can you? Every time I try to get help he finds me," Stacy said letting the tears come.
"Not this time," Wilson said.
"How are you going to do that?" Stacy asked.
"Because you're going to come live with us," Stacy said.
"And why would you want the trouble that'll come?" Stacy asked turning to her.
"Because Wilson is family and you're his family," Stacy said.
"I can't do that to you. I can't do it to her," Stacy said.
"Just come inside and we'll figure it all out," Stacy said.
"Come on Sam," Stacy said.
"Can I stay out here a little longer?" Sam asked.
"Yeah go ahead," Stacy said smiling at her daughter.
"Thanks," Sam said smiling at her mom.
"Welcome honey," Stacy said coming over to her daughter and giving her a kiss on the head.
After Stacy and Stacy went back inside James and Sam sat back down on the swing.
"So you're not dieing are you?" Sam asked.
"No I'm not," James said putting his arm around his daughter.
"Then why did that guy tell mom you were?" Sam asked.
"Greg who knows with him," Wilson said.
"So you two like friends?" Sam asked.
"Yeah I'm like his only friend," Wilson said.
"Then who are those other people?" Sam asked pointing to the living room window.
"The blond is Robert Chase and the female holding the baby is his soon be wife her name Allison Cameron. The female that came and got your mom is Stacy Warner. Well that was her name before she got divorced. It'll probably be House within a year. The black guy is Erick Foreman and that's his girlfriend with him," Wilson said.
"So what's the guy with the limp first name?" Sam asked.
"Gregory House. The woman standing next to him is his mother Blythe House," Wilson said looking through the window with his daughter.
"She lives with him?" Sam asked.
"For now. He just lost his father a couple of weeks ago. She's staying with him and Stacy for now," Wilson said not telling her the full truth.
"Oh," Sam asked.
"Oh and the woman with the black sweeter is Lisa Cuddy. She's all of our boss. Well she's the main boss. Her position is Dean of the hospital," Wilson said smiling.
"What do you mean by the main boss?" Sam asked.
"Erick, Allison, and Robert work for House. He can fire then but Cuddy has final say. But Cuddy has say whether or not House and I get fired no one else," Wilson said.
"You like her?" Sam asked.
"Yeah I do," Wilson said.
"You two married?" Sam asked not knowing about her father's exs.
"No we're just friends," Wilson said.
"Come on dad I'm ten not five," Sam said.
"We had one date that's all," Wilson said.
"Yeah just keep telling yourself that," Sam said smiling at her dad.
"It was," Wilson said.
"Hey can I ask you something?" Sam asked.
"Sure anything," Wilson said turning to look back down at his daughter.
"Not to sound rude or anything but that House guy why is he so big? I mean most people who are heavy it's all over not just in one place," Sam said turning red in the cheeks.
"That you would have to ask Greg about," Wilson said not going to tell his daughter that she was going to have a half sister or brother in a month's time.
"Why can't you tell me?" Sam asked.
"Because it's not my place to tell you," Wilson said.
"Oh," Sam said.
"Your mom wants you," Wilson said seeing Stacy motioning Sam inside.
"Night dad," Sam said kissing her father on the cheek.
"Night," Wilson said returning the kiss.
As Sam was going into the house Greg was coming back out.
"Thanks for what it's worth," Wilson said as Greg took a seat.
"There was nothing to it," Greg said.
"Still thanks," Wilson said still looking inside to the living room.
"Welcome," House said looking inside too.
"You don't mind that they stay here for awhile?" Wilson asked finally tearing his gaze away from the window.
"I didn't have a choice," House said.
"Yes you did," Wilson said.
"No actually I didn't. Stacy just told me they were staying whether or not I liked it," House said.
"If it's too much trouble they can stay with me," Wilson said.
"Yeah three people in a one bedroom apartment. Bet Cuddy would just love that," House said.
"Why would she?" Wilson asked.
"Come on like I don't know you two slept together," House said.
"No we didn't," Wilson said.
"Whatever," House said.
"We didn't," Wilson said.
"Whatever it's your life. But you hurt her I will deal with you," House said going all fatherly.
"I'll make sure I won't hurt her," Wilson said smiling at House.
"Good," House said.
"You know she asked about you," Wilson said.
"What about me?" House asked.
"Your weight," Wilson said.
"Did you tell her that I just gain weight?" House asked.
"Come on man you're skinny everywhere except there," Wilson said pointing to House's stomach.
"Do not blame your daughter. Blame yourself," House said.
"I wasn't blaming her," Wilson said.
"Yeah that's not the way it sounded," House said.
"Anyhow she may ask you about it so it's your call whether or not you tell her. I didn't think it was my business whether or not I told," Wilson said getting up and then helping House up.
"Really she's not half yours?" House asked.
"Yes but I'm not the one that has to live with my daughter knowing," Wilson said.
"Yeah you do," House said walking inside and shutting the door in Wilson's face.
"You ready to go?" Wilson asked Cuddy.
"Yeah," Cuddy said.
After they got their coats they said good bye and left for Cuddy's place. After Wilson dropped her off he went home. He had some things to think over. One being him and Cuddy and the other his daughter. He finally fell asleep around three in the morning. Little did Greg or James know that Sam had overheard some things and saw something that she shouldn't have seen.
