Chapter 2

She was in her 4th month when she decided to inform the board about her condition. Her belly was growing fast, faster than she thought it would. Soon it would be visibly to everyone anyway. She was surprised House hadn't said anything, as far as she knew there weren't any rumours about her being pregnant. Soon there will be another rumour about the father of her child. She already knew who will be number one on that list.

The board meeting went well. Everyone congratulated her and wished her the best. Nobody had the guts to ask about the father though, which she was glad about. It would have been embarrassing to tell the board. Some secrets should stay secret.

The next morning Cuddy got to work a bit later than usual. Her morning sickness was back with full force and she didn't feel that well either. When she entered the hospital she could see the knowing looks in the faces of her staff. Some whispered to each other others just stared and one yelled.

"I'm hurt! You are pregnant and you didn't tell me. I could be the father after all!" House made sure everyone could hear him. Better start the rumour now he loved to mess with peoples minds.

She sent daggers his way. If looks could kill, he would have died a painful death right then. Fortunately, for him they can't so he just smiled broadly at her. So much for rumours about the father she thought.

Entering her office she found a huge pile of presents and cards. Most of them are from the board members some of her staff and one had no note on it. When she opened it, she had a faint idea whose present she just opened. She looked at the black coffee cup which said in huge bold letters MILF. Shaking her head she put it back in the box and stored it in a drawer at her desk. There was no way she would use this cup at work or home or anywhere.

Two weeks later ….

When he found her, her head lay on the desk in an awkward position. She was sound asleep and didn't stir. It was late and he saw her light on in her office. He just solved a case and was ready to go home. He hadn't slept much in the last 3 days and he was sure she hadn't either. They had argued a lot too. Moving around the desk he shook her slightly but she didn't wake up. He tried it again with more force, which had the desired effect. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around, she was clearly confused about her whereabouts. When she saw House so close she jerked up.

"Wow Cuddy, calm down. It's me!" he smirked. She looked so sweet with her hair messed up and the traces of sleep still in her eyes.

"What. Why. … How late is it?" she asked confused.

"Past midnight, you need a ride home?"

"On your bike? I don't think so" she shook her head.

"The bike is at the garage. I took my car"

She still wasn't sure why he was offering her a ride home but she was too tired to drive and it was either sleeping in her office or take the offer and sleep at home. Her own bed sounded much more appealing than her office couch.

"Let me get my stuff and we can go" he moved out of the way to let her collect her belongings. When she moved past him his hand touched her belly for a moment. He could feel the light bump that had grown over the last 4 month on her abdomen. She felt his touch immediately. His hand was warm through the thin fabric of her shirt and somehow it felt right. He was the first person other than her or her doctor who touched her belly. Not aware of her next movements she took his hand and put it on her belly. He didn't resist or pull away it even seemed like he enjoyed the moment. After a minute he pulled away and smiled at her. They didn't talk about it. They didn't need to.

He took her home that night and made sure she entered the house before he drove away. At home he sat in front of the TV watching baseball while his mind was occupied with other things. He watched his hand trying to remember the feeling when he touched her. He couldn't feel any movement it was too early for that but still it had been an incredible feeling.
