Part: 33
Don't own House
AN: Sam's full name is: Samantha Lin Wilson
Over the last month James had been on cloud nine. Not only was his daughter here with him. But he found out that Lisa had a little surprise for him. But no one else besides them knew.
The birth was schedule for one week from tomorrow which was Friday. Tomorrow after work they would be doing another practice because House didn't trust the doctors to not screw up. Yes there were a select few that had been informed on House's conduction. They all had been sworn to not tell a soul. If they did then they could not only loose their jobs but their license too. Because if it got out Cuddy was going to protect House before she did the other doctors and they knew it. House would have loved for his team to do it but they were too close to him and they couldn't do it.
It had been decided since Sam wanted to see her baby sister born that they'd wait until 4:30 to bring Greg to the OR. That meant that Sam had to get going as soon as the bell ring at 3:30 since it took an hour to get there. So she had to get here right away if she wanted to see it all happen first hand.
Again House and James were not on talking terms. House thought that James was wrong and James knew that House was wrong. Really Sam had saved her sister from getting something she couldn't get rid of fast enough. What happened was Sam asked Stacy if she could bring her dog and cat to the house. Because she was afraid that Charles would do something to them. Stacy told her she didn't care since they got along with each other. It was a week later that it happened. Shadow the cat started playing with Willy the dog. Well Willy got to chasing Shadow. It was a game they would play with each other. Shadow jumped up on a shelf that had a vase of Greg's. It got knocked down and shattered into a million pieces. Greg had been pissed about that because it was his great grandmother's. See Greg's great grandmother got it from her mother in-law. Well when Greg's grandparents got married his grandma got the vase then when his parents his mother got it. It was very ugly vase that no one liked. That's why they kept passing it on. Because they didn't want it in their house. Well Greg didn't want to tell his mother that he hated it. She knew he did so she couldn't understand why he was so mad at Sam. Her cat did him a favor by breaking it. Greg was pissed because James stood up for his daughter. So it was a petty thing that Greg should get over but he hadn't yet.
House had just fallen asleep when he started having a dream that was actually telling him how the future would look. But he didn't know that.
House was chasing his daughter around who was chasing his son. After awhile House had to take a seat because he was getting out of breath.
"You know it's sad," Stacy said watching her children play with each other.
"What is?" House asked little out of breath still.
The thing he noticed was his daughter seemed to be four or five years old and his son was only two maybe three..
"The fact that James has had to watch his daughter grow up behind the glass," Stacy said looking over Greg's shoulder to a tree a few feet away.
"What do you mean?" House asked looking over his should to see James standing by a tree. But once James saw House he left but not before he gave one last longing look at his daughter.
"Well he had to see her born from up above the operating room. Then when she got older he only got to see her through the windows of your office. I mean I just wish you two had settled your differences before she was born," Stacy said.
"Well that's the way it went. He could have said sorry but he didn't so that's his fault," Greg said watching his daughter running up to them before she fell into his lab.
"Greg it wasn't his fault. You're the one that started it five years ago. You never ended it. It's you that should say sorry not him," Stacy said.
"Why what did I do?" House asked lifting his daughter onto his lap.
Before House could hear Stacy's answer he woke up.
'Damn it!' Greg thought to himself.
He looked over to see that Stacy was sleeping peacefully. He looked at the clock to see that it was only three in the morning so it was too early to call James.
'Wait he'll be there tomorrow. Perfect!' Greg thought to himself before falling back to sleep.
The next morning when Greg awoke he got dressed like usual and then went to go see Sam.
"Yeah?" Sam asked hearing the knock on the door.
"It's Greg can I come in?" Greg asked.
Stacy thought it best that they stay with them since James's place first was too small and second the first place Charles may go looking.
"Sure," Sam said.
She did like Greg but since his yelling at her she avoided him at all cost which wasn't too hard since he avoided her too.
"Look I'm sorry for yelling at you the other day," Greg said.
Oh yes James did have the animals so that Greg didn't hurt one of them.
"That's ok," Sam said.
"No it's not. I shouldn't have yelled," Greg said.
"Hey it's fine," Sam said putting her hair up.
"You're just like your dad kid," Greg said smiling.
"Well I do have part of his genes," Sam said.
"Yeah I guess you do," Greg said still smiling.
"So can I come and see the baby once it's born?" Sam asked looking up at Greg in the mirror.
"Yeah she is your half sister," Greg said.
"Well I figured after I broke that vase you wouldn't want me around," Sam said.
"Listen Sam I'm sorry for yelling at you. Yeah it was something that had been passed down in my family. But you want to know why it was?" Greg asked taking a seat on the bed.
"Sure," Sam said turning towards Greg.
"It's because none of us liked it. But no one had the heart to break it. So Shadow did your sister a favor. He saved her from getting that thing," Greg said putting his hand on his stomach.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked.
"Well my great grandmother got it from her mother in-law. When her son married she gave it to his wife. And when my father married my mother, my mother got it. We all used to make fun of it. Called it the puke vase. Because that's what we felt like using it for. My mother knew I hated that thing but since she never had a daughter I was the only one that it could be passed to. I should have shattered that thing twenty years ago," Greg said.
"Oh," Sam said.
"So I'm not mad at you Sam. I'm sorry for yelling," Greg said.
"It's fine. You get used to it with a guy like Charles," Sam said.
"Well from now on I won't yell in less it's something you shouldn't have done," Greg said.
"I'm used it. It doesn't bother me anymore," Sam said.
"Come here for a minute," Greg said hand still on his stomach.
"What?" Sam asked.
"Just come here for a minute," Greg said.
"What?" Sam asked after coming over to Greg.
"Give me your hand," Greg said.
"You feel that?" Greg asked placing Sam's hand next to his.
"Yeah," Sam said smiling.
"That's your little sister. Ok it'll probably be a boy. But that's your little sibling agreeing with me. I promise I will not yell at you from now on. I may raise my voice but I will not yell. But you have to make me a promise," Greg said.
"What's that?" Sam asked not looking so sure of making it with him.
"You have to promise me that you'll watch over your little brother and help him anyway he needs it. You have to be a big sister to him and promise to love him," Greg said.
"Don't you mean sister?" Sam asked.
"Kid this maybe my first kid but I'm not blind," Greg said.
"What?" Sam asked.
"I had hoped for a little girl but I know that two to one it's a boy," Greg said.
"How do you figure?" Sam asked.
The reason she was still at the house was because she didn't have school today and Stacy said it'd be alright if she stayed with them instead of going to the sitter that she usually went to.
"Think of it this way Sam. Your father and I are both males. To have a female you need XX chromosomes. Your father and I have XY Chromosomes so the chances of getting girl out of XY isn't very likely. Two to one you're having a little brother Do you understand," Greg asked looking down at his stomach.
Yeah it hurt a little bit because he had wanted a little girl but at least he knew what little boys liked.
"Greg I'm in the fifth grade. We don't start talking abut that stuff until later," Sam said.
"Sorry about that kid," Greg said looking up at her and smiling.
"You knew all along didn't you?" Sam asked.
"Maybe I did and maybe I didn't," Greg said getting up.
"You little sneak," Sam said smirking at Greg.
"Hey I'm a doctor isn't my fault I know what to look for," Greg said walking out of the room.
Ok so he'd known for about two weeks. Fine he'd known since the baby shower. But he had to keep people wondering if he really knew.
"Hey do you mind if I call my dad?" Sam asked poking her head out the door.
"I'd rather you not. Because we have some things to talk about. Oh by the way are you sure you'll be able to watch them cut me open and all the blood pouring out of me?" Greg said smirking thinking he'd see the disgusted face soon. But he was sadly disappointed when it didn't come.
"Yeah I love that stuff. I'm kind of hoping for lots of blood," Sam said smiling.
"You are your father's daughter," Greg said walking down the stairs.
Before Greg and Stacy left they said good bye to Sam. Blythe was going to watch her for the day. Figured it'd give her time to get to know Sam better. After all she was the half sister to her first and maybe only grandson.
Greg had tried to figure out how best to tell James but never thought of a way. So here he was after work waiting for them to start the practice surgery.
Half an hour later…
Cuddy, Cameron, Chase, Foreman Fred who no one knew was there and James were standing above the operating room watching the surgeons preparing for the big day.
Fred knew that they knew that he knew that House was pregnant. But no one had said anything about it.
House was down there watching them to make sure that they didn't mess up.
"Again," House said.
After he was sure they were ready he decided that he was going to lay down and let them see what it was going to be like.
"James get your ass down here now!" House said looking up.
Looking very confusing at the others he decided to go see what House wanted.
"What?" James asked.
"If you're going to be here with me so you might as well see how it's going to be," House said.
"You sure about this House?" James asked.
"Yeah," House said and then laid down on table.
"Now don't you forget any tools," House said lifting his head.
"Yes sir," number one said.
After they were done with practice they all left. House headed back to his office.
"So what was with that?" James asked coming into Greg's office.
Yes it was quitting time well past but Greg had told Stacy that he had some things to finish up and he'd catch a cab. She hadn't been thrilled but decided to let him do it because she thought he maybe going to talk to James.
"What do you mean?" Greg asked not looking up.
"You don't talk to me for days and now all of a sudden you are?" James asked.
"Blame your daughter," Greg said still not looking up.
"Don't you dare try to put this on her," James said.
"Not her the other her," Greg said.
"Don't be trying to blame either of them," James said.
"You want to know the real reason?" Greg asked finally looking up.
"Yes," James said.
"Because I had a dream last night. It was showing me the future and you weren't in it. You were but not where you should be," Greg said.
"And what is that suppose to mean?" James asked.
"It means I'm sorry for what I said. I already told her I was sorry. Hell I'm happy that cat broke that vase. It saved our son's wife from having to get it," Greg said resting his hand on his stomach.
"What son?" James asked.
"This son," Greg said rubbing his stomach.
"How?" James asked.
"How do I know?" Greg asked smirking.
"Yeah," James said.
"Not stupid and I saw his thing on the sonograms. I've known for about three weeks. Yeah I wanted a little girl but this is way better because I know how little boys think. I was one once," Greg said getting up.
"Oh well then," James said.
"Well I'm going home," Greg said.
"Want me to drop you off?" James asked.
"First let's go to your place and get the animals," Greg said.
"Ok," James said smiling.
They left the hospital and went to get the dog and cat. Then they went back to Greg's place. Sam was quite happy to see Shadow and Willy. By then Stacy had been filled in on what had happened that morning. James stayed for supper and then headed over to Cuddy's to be with her.
The surgery was to be in a week but little did anyone know that someone wasn't going to wait that long.
Monday morning…
House was in the clinic when the impossible happened. A drunk came into the clinic. House got to be the luckily one and see him. He was just about to see what was wrong with the guy when the guy pulled out a knife. House of course put his hands on his stomach because he wanted to protect his son should the man want to harm him.
Instead the guy just sliced Greg's hand and then walked out. The bad thing was the knife was rusty. Greg just put a bandage on it.
"What happened to you?" James asked seeing Greg's hand.
After that he went back to his office to hide out. He told Cuddy that his back hurt too much to keep standing. She let him go since he's more then made up his time. She of course never saw the bandage on his hand.
"Oh just nicked myself," Greg said.
Yes he was still very shaken up by it. He had been afraid that the guy was after his baby. He figured the guy had been high and just thought he was trying to harm him. Because the guy left like Greg had already told him what was wrong. And of course Greg's pride got in the way of reporting it.
"Bullshit," James said.
"I did," Greg said hands on his stomach.
So James went over to Greg and ripped off the bandage.
"Greg who did this?" James asked getting pissed someone would try to hurt Greg. Yes he knew Greg could be a dick and usually he deserved it but not this.
"No one," Greg said putting his other hand over it.
"Greg," James said through clinched teeth.
"Some drunk," Greg said.
"With what kind of knife?" James asked.
"Rusty blade. It's just a scratch," Greg said.
"Doesn't matter we need to get you a booster shot now," James said.
"No. I'll wait until Friday and then you can," Greg said.
Yes Cuddy, James and Stacy knew that Greg wanted to be put under the ketmine treatment. None of them liked it but they had to go with his wishes.
"You can't wait that long," James said.
"I'm not risking my son's life for it," Greg said.
"Greg he'll be born in four days. He's going to be fine. His mommy on the other hand may not be," James said.
'"Don't call me a mommy," Greg said.
"Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy," James said.
"Come let's go get this done with," Greg said getting up.
He knew if he didn't get it then James would keep saying that until he did.
They went down to the ER where they could get a hold of the shot. James got the booster shot out and set it down so he could get a bandage and some swabs ready. He didn't see someone do a switch on him. Not thinking twice James gave Greg a shot he should have never had.
"There done," James said.
"See you later," Greg said getting up and heading back to his office.
Little did anyone know that Fred's master plan was in action now all he had to do was wait for the show to start. Then he could kick back and watch all hell break loose.
