A/N: Hey everybody! First of all WOW I never expected to get so many reviews I don't think I've ever gotten that many for just one chapter so thank you very much! Second of all I'm updating two chapters today just for the hell of it, so I hope you enjoy it;-)

The clock has just gone past two when House opened the front door to their home. He was immediately assaulted by the sound of a crying child and a nanny trying to calm the kid down.

The crying was very loud and just for making her opinion extra clear Rachel was screaming "NO!" at the top of her voice. With a smirk House knew what the matter was, he had been through the I-don't-want-to-have-my-afternoon-nap-tantrum a lot of times. Sometimes this could go on for hours.

He entered the living room and he could see the desperation on Marina's face.

"Hey!" He yelled startling both of them, so much in fact that Rachel stopped crying. "What's wrong, Rachel?" He asked the little girl.

"Sleep no." She mumbled as she was trying to squirm her way out of Marina's arms, she probably wanted to him. And sure enough as soon as her feet touched the ground she made her way over to him. She was getting pretty good at the walking and running thing, sometimes she was even faster than him. At first he had been sad that he couldn't chase her around, but Nolan had told him to find something else he could do with Rachel, which turned out to be watching cartoons and playing the piano or the guitar.

When Rachel finally was in his arms she hugged him so tightly he could feel her heart beat against his chest.

"I can take it from here, you can go home early Marina."

"Are you sure? You're never home early?"

"Yeah I'm sure. I just solved my case." Marina nodded, but she took a good look at him, through those five months they'd known each other a weird friendship had formed between him and Marina. Strangely she was one of the few people who could tell when he was lying, but she could also see that he didn't want to talk about it. So with a final nod and a wave to Rachel she was out of the door.

He took a seat in the easy-chair and reclined it so he could elevate his leg. House started to gently rub the girls back, getting her to relax so she could fall asleep.

With a sigh he tried to relax as well, but he knew that wouldn't happen. He had already talked to Nolan and just like so many times before the shrink hadn't really told him what to do, but had given him possible outcomes on what could happen. Outcome number one was that he would probably lose his job if he said no. Outcome number two was that he was gonna teach and he would have to stand in front of many students all of them would be stare at him. Cuddy always had wanted him to teach and he would keep his job. It was actually rather simple and not really that hard to choose.

He felt Rachel getting heavier and her breathing got heavier as well. Maybe Rachel was right and taking a nap would make everything easier. So with another sigh he tried to relax and within minutes he was snoring softly while holding Rachel so she wouldn't fall off his chest.

It had been a quiet day for Wilson, except his morning had been a bit hectic. He should've been in the monthly budget-meeting, but one of his patients had had a panic-attack.

Suddenly his door opened and he was surprised when it turned out to be Cuddy instead of House and she looked like she was very close to a panic-attack of her own.

"Have you seen House?" She asked while trying to take a deep breath to calm her wild beating heart.

"No…" Now that he thought about it had been a too quiet day, he didn't even have lunch with House today.

Wilson fished out his cell. "Don't bother. I've tried calling and texting him. Also his voicemail is full, so I couldn't leave a message."

"Yeah he never checks those. Why did he leave?" He took a seat next to Cuddy on the couch in case he needed to put her head between her legs, because she still was a little jumpy.

"The board wants him to teach, because he hasn't done his clinic hours."

"This is bad…" He mumbled with a sigh. "I knew I should've been at that meeting." Her breathing seemed to be okay again, but he could see she was still worried. "Maybe he just went home?" Wilson suggested.

"I just said that I've tried calling him! Don't you think I've tried calling at home as well?"

"Alright calm down… I'm just trying to help."

"I know." She mumbled. Then suddenly she jumped up and rushed to his office-phone. She dialed a number and tapped her finger against his desk in an urgent rhythm waiting for somebody to pick up the phone. Wilson watched with a worried brow. "Hi Marina it's me… No no everything's okay. I just wondered if you've seen House? … Oh right well thanks. I'll see you tomorrow." With a relieved smile she sank down in his chair.

"What did she say? Is House okay?"

"Yeah he's fine. He's at home and gave Marina the rest of the day off."

"Good. So I can get back to my paperwork again?"

"You work way too much Wilson." With that she left his office.

It was around 3 when his assistant told him that Cuddy had left to spend the rest of the day with her family. But there was a rumor that she was just leaving early to have wild sex with House. Oh how much fun he was going to have with that little bit of gossip.
