Chapter Twelve

House headed for the parking lot and fired up his motorcycle, speeding off on it he wondered where to look. Judging by the time most places would be shutting and there wasn't really anywhere for a child to go. He figured his best shot would be the park, which was about ten minutes, walk from the hospital. It took him less than three to get there. Slowing down he guided the bike through the gates, he lifted the visor on his helmet up so he could see better and strained his ears to listen to any sounds other than his bike.

He passed no one, which didn't surprise him; most normal people would be at home wrapped up in their beds. He circled the park three times before he finally saw her sitting under an oak tree her hair falling down in front of her face. He stopped the bike and climbed off it, pulling the helmet off he left it on the bike and made his way over to Lilley. He stood in front of her and poked her gently with his cane; she looked up at him and sniffled.

"What do you want?"

"I came for you, everyone's really worried about you." She glared at him and he felt proud of the look she gave him.

"Like you care." He sighed and sat down with great difficulty next to her.

"I'm sorry about what you heard before. But you didn't hear everything; I did tell your mum I wanted nothing to do with you guys. But I changed my mind and I told her later on that I wanted to get to know you guys."

Lilley looked at him. "Really?"

"Yup." She wiped her nose with the back of her sleeve and looked at him.

"How come you didn't want to before?"

"Well." He paused and looked down at her. "I didn't realise you guys were mine, and well, you can ask anybody this. I'm not a nice person Lilley, I hurt a lot of people, I say nasty things, I'm the total opposite of your mum. So my first instincts were to push you away because I'm not good with affection and things, in fact I don't think I'd make a very good dad."

Lilley listened to him intently and leant into him. "I do." House looked down at the little figure resting her head in the crook of his arm.

"Oh yeah whys that?"

"Well, you came out here to look for me. That's what a dad would do, and obviously you must be nice sometimes, otherwise my mum would never have gotten together with you in the first place."

"Awww, shucks you'll make me cry. I suppose you want a hug now?"

"No. I don't want to give you a hug just yet, I mean you may be my Dad but I don't know you really do I?" His mouth twitched a little.

"No I don't suppose you do. So Lilleyanna, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

She shrugged. "I like playing the piano, I think I want to do that. Chris wants to be a doctor though, just like mum."

"Does he now?"

"Yup." She looked at him. "Do I call you Dad now?"

He shifted uncomfortably. "Most people call me House."

"Ok, House can I ask you something?"

"You just did. But you can ask me something else if you like."

"Do you love my mum?"

House was caught off guard and he sighed and stood up carefully. Unzipping his jacket he pulled her up also and put the big heavy jacket on her, zipping her in.

"Come on lets get you back to your mum." He lifted her onto the bike and explained to her that she would have to hold onto his waist tightly. Then he put the oversized helmet on her tiny head and fastened it as tightly as it would go. Slipping into the seat in front of her he felt her tiny hands go around his waist and he kicked the engine on and slowly, and carefully made his way back to the hospital.

They found Allison, Johnny, Wilson and Cuddy all waiting in Chris' room; Chris himself was in his bed looking disgruntled. House walked in pushing Lilley forward with his cane.

"I found her." Allison turned and looked at House and Lilley and couldn't help smiling as she saw her wrapped in House's big leather jacket. Lilley looked up at her mum and slowly walked forward.

"I'm sorry mum."

"Oh Lilley, don't be sorry. I'm sorry, it was my fault I should have been the one to tell you." Allison fussed over her little girl stroking her hair and hugging her. Cuddy smiled and nodded her head.

"Well crisis over, I best get back to work. Got some things left to do before I can leave." Allison nodded and thanked her before she left. Johnny bent down in front of Lilley and pulled a flower from out of nowhere and handed it to her, she giggled and House scowled. Johnny then stood up and turned to Allison.

"Listen Ally, why don't you go get something to eat? Have some rest sleep in your own bed; I'll look after these two. Just get some sleep." She stared at him and then to her kids before nodding and turning to House she grabbed her purse.

"Come on." House looked at her bewildered as she pulled her coat on. "You're taking me out for a drink." House raised his eyebrow at Wilson who shrugged; sighing House followed her out of the room and down to the parking lot. Once again he forfeited his helmet and let her ride behind him on his bike as he drove them to a near by bar. Once there she strode in ahead of him and ordered herself a large double gin and tonic. House followed apprehensively, he ordered himself a beer. Sitting down at a table she looked at him as she knocked back half her drink.

"So, thanks for finding Lilley."

"No problem." She stared at him and took another swig of her drink and he smirked. "You might want to slow down, we both know you can't handle your alcohol."

"I can handle my alcohol perfectly." She raised her hand and ordered another drink and then turned back to House. "So, what made you change your mind?" He shrugged and she sighed annoyed and rolled her eyes. "House, don't play around tonight, I just want truth please." He looked up at her staring at her in the eyes.

"You. You made me change my mind. When you left all those years ago, I thought I wouldn't care. I figured I would just carry on, but truth is it was then I realised how much you meant to me, how I needed you in my life."

She gazed at him and shook her head in disbelief. "How come you never came to find me then, if I had meant that much?"

"Oh you know me." He chuckled. "I wouldn't have been able to tell you back then." He laughed once more and took a swig from his bottle. "Guess it's too little too late."

Her own drink arrived and she didn't touch it but looked at him instead. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"What do you think it means? I obviously left it too late to tell you this, you clearly have your family made, you, your kids and him." It took her a few moments to realise who he meant and she burst out laughing.

"Oh my god, Johnny? You think I'm involved with Johnny?" Her laughing subsided and she met House's eyes. "House, Johnny is gay, has been as long as I've known him. He's been with his partner for the last five years, he's just very open and touchy." House stared at her and she shook her head smiling and he looked down for being so foolish. Standing she threw down some money on the table and grabbed her coat then his hand, leaving their unfinished drinks behind.

They fell through her hotel room door their hands moving rapidly undoing each other's clothes. She bit his bottom lip making him moan and she tugged off his shirt running her hand down his chest. Pushing her onto the bed he climbed on top slowly and traced his fingers along her cheek staring into her eyes. His hands then moved down to her blouse undoing it rapidly he flung it off and stared at her bra, taking that off also he ran his rough hands gently along her torso exploring her, he stopped as he felt a scar beneath his hand. Removing his hand he saw a scar about 4 inches long on her stomach, tracing it with his finger he looked at her.

"Childbirth?"

She shook her head no. "I was attacked about six years ago, I was being mugged and got stabbed."

He stared at her for a moment before leaning down and kissing the scar softly then moved his mouth down to her pants, which he pulled off quickly. His quickly followed them to the floor and he positioned himself on top of her both staring at the others naked body. Her hands were positioned on the side of his face their eyes locked on one another as he entered her forcing a gasp to escape her lips.

She closed her eyes and her hands moved down to his shoulders where she tightened her grip as he moved faster and harder inside her. His groans matched her gasps and low moans and their sweaty bodies glided against each other smoothly, the chemistry flew and the air was filled with electricity. After years of being apart they clashed in a passionate fiery frenzy, collapsing on top of her House's breaths were slowing down and he turned to look at her and captured her lips with his own.

Rolling onto the bed next to her he hugged her tightly and she rubbed his arm with her hand. Half an hour later House was sure she had fallen asleep, he gazed down at her lovingly, he wouldn't let go again. He had finally got her back and he vowed never to let her go. Kissing her shoulder he whispered.

"I love you Allison." Lying down next to her, he didn't realise that her eyes had opened and a smile crept onto her lips after hearing those words. She closed her eyes and fell into a untroubled sleep for the first time in weeks.

Waking in the morning Allison rolled over and was surprised to see House lying next to her gazing out of the window.

"Your still here." She stated rather dumbly, he turned and nodded.

"Sharp as a tack aren't you." He smirked and she shook her head.

"No, before when we used to have sex, you would be gone when I woke." He turned fully and kissed her on the lips slowly.

"This isn't like before, I'm not going anywhere." He kissed her once more before standing and picking up his jeans; she stared at his back and said softly.

"By the way, I love you too."

He turned and looked at her, his eyes were full of shock he had thought she was asleep, she smiled and he nodded at her.

"I know."

Happy? See, I always knew Johnny was gay, but very few of you guys realised it.

He just loves them alot. Also what did you think of this chapter?
