***************************
So this was where it came too.
Sitting on the couches in Cuddy's office.
Greg House and James Wilson stared in silence at the two women on the other side. Gabrielle House and Jessica Wilson joined in and stared back.
Gab and Jess had placed their clothing back on, after they were dry of course, making everything a little bit more... difficult to deal with. Wilson looked to House with a frown, wanting to say something but finding no words. What could they really say? They all had been sitting there for the past twenty minutes waiting for Cuddy to arrive. He wondered if she was alright.
Gab relaxed on her side of the couch, her fingers idly picking at the foam handle of her cane. Her dirty brown hair, that seemed to have been washed earlier, now showed Wilson that she did indeed have blond highlights. How strange, he never pegged Greg to be a dyeing kind of person, but he could tell off the bat it was a while ago since a few graying roots were starting to show. Her clothing was simple and basic... just like House. A dark green tank top that hugged her breasts, a black button down dress shirt resting over top, the sleeves rolled up. A pair of tight fitted jeans that flared at the bottom gave her a slender look when she stood, even if she did have a limp. Topping it all off were the pair of snickers that hugged her feet.
His eyes soon went to Jessica, whom sat with her right hand on her lap and the other in her sling. Unlike Gab, her clothing looked pricier. A three quarter sleeve cotton collar shirt, tucked neatly under a light purple sweater vest. A simple plain light brown high waist skirt hugging her hips down to her knees, exposing her legs down to her heel covered feet. Thick brown hair was perfectly brushed and split, her bangs framing her face letting the rest trail down along her shoulder and back. She looked every bit of a professional. What made Wilson chuckle to himself was that fact that they both wore... make-up. Sure Wilson had a habit to use clear paint nail polish but to see himself as a women, lips painted and eyelids shadowed. He couldn't help but think his women self looked cute.
Gab on the other hand... She was something else. While Jessica did her best to look the part, Gab looked as thou she hated being dressed up. Jessica wore brighter lipstick, Gab seem to wear a darker skin tone and basic eyeshadow. But even with that... Wilson couldn't help the feeling in his stomach, the way his heart skipped a beat everytime those blue eyes of hers looked to him.
Picking up his hand, he looked to his watch with a sigh. thirty minutes, where was Cuddy? His lips pressed and he looked over to House only to glare. House seemed to have passed out... He had the sudden urge to elbow him awake but something caught his eyes. Looking back, he watched Gab mess with her long bangs, pushing them back behind her ear only to have them fall back in place. Her face twisted and snarled, giving up on the task to pop out her pill bottle, tossing one into her mouth. Jessica noticed and she only reached into her own hair. From what Wilson could tell, she was removing hair clips. Dark green ones, strange, he didn't even notice her hair was pinned back. She was good.
Gab jerked when Jessica moved closer, reaching out touching her hair. "Whoa, stop it." She muttered, her hand knocking Jessies arm back. Her friend just sighed, reaching out again, "Stop moving, I'm just helping you."
"I don't need your help." Jess rose a brow before handing the clips over, letting Gab snatch them. With a huff, Gab pulled back one section of her bangs and pinned them, letting her eyes see clearly. She looked to Jessica with a glare, letting her friend smile and nod in approval. Then once again, they were back in the waiting game. The silence was to much, someone had to talk!
"So are they real or did I just hate myself enough to go get implants?"
Someone who wasn't House would of been nice.
Wilson pinched the bridge of his nose as House leaned forward, showing that he had awoken.
"Why don't you come over here and find out." Gab stated, leaning her cheek in her palm. House rose a brow before musing out, "From what I can tell, I think their fake. They are too round and to perky to be real. Why dont you shimmy for me."
"Why dont I ask Jessica to grab them for me, I'm sure a girl on girl would be more amusing then flashing you."
"I have no complaints over here."
"Fine, if she grabs me then Wilson will have to grab you."
"Whoa." House cut in, holding his hand up. "No one touches little Greg, I have a strict no man rule."
"Tough shit, let him feel you up. Scared you might like it?"
"Oh yes cause somewhere in the back of my mind I always wanted to jump my best friend."
"That's not a shocker since I already slept with mine."
"HOUSE!"
Gab and Greg both flinched when Jessica and James shouted their names, letting them both look to their best friends who huffed and glared at them. "He started it!" Gab claimed, pointing her finger. Jessica only glared again, her arms crossed making Gab swear and fall back, staring up at the ceiling.
The door cracked open and Wilson only sighed happily. Finally.
"Oh good, Cuddy, you won't believe what these past two days have been like."
Cuddy looked up from the door frame, her black curly hair pulled and pinned back letting her face be clear. But she looked... worn out. Wilson stood up with a weak smile on his face as Cuddy sighed, muttering.
"No Wilson... I think I can." and with that, she stepped side, letting another figure appear.
A gasp ripped out as Jessica jumped to her feet, her face breaking out in a smile. Gab on the other hand let out an annoyed yell, falling over onto her side, burying her face into the cushions. "I thought I was free from you!"
"I promise to never let you out of my sight House, what kind of Dean would that make me if you go and jump into another world just to skip out on your hours."
Standing next to Cuddy was a male. A man that stood taller then her, a good six foot, hell Wilson could peg him to be the same height as Greg! His black hair was neatly slicked back and showed little curls that brushed along his forehead, gray blue eyes staring calmly at the room. His outfit was stunning, even Wilson had to admit, this man was handsome. A white long sleeve button shirt seemed pressed and ironed under a satin vest. A black tie tucked nicely under his collar, slipping perfectly under the vest. A pair of black dress pants hugged his hips and trailed down his legs to his black leather dress shoes. My god, it was like he was a freaking model!
"Cuddy! You have no idea how happy I am to see you here." House jaw dropped when Jessica rushed over to the new guy. The man just smiled and touched her arm lightly, his free hand touched her face where the bandage laid. " I heard what happened to you Wilson, are you doing okay? I would of found you sooner but I had some problems." Jessica only shock her head, " I'm fine, really. Gab's taken good care of me."
"Speaking of which, Gab care to explain why a nurse is walking around with a busted lip?"
Gab peeked over the couches back, a brow raised. "She was late putting dinner on the table?"
"House, you attacked a fellow doctor!"
"She got in my way!"
The man only gritted his teeth but let out a sigh, his hand covering his face. "That's it, seven more hours." Gabs mouth dropped before snapping, "You can't do that, I finished my hours for the week!"
"I'm your boss, so I can do whatever I want and you miss, are going to make up seven more hours YOURSELF even if I have to watch you."
"I think you like watching me work Cuddy, I see you staring at my ass. Get over it, you can't have it."
"I beg to differ."
Greg stood up then, his finger pointed "Oh my god, please dont tell me this is real."
Lisa Cuddy let out a sigh, her arms crossed. "Believe me House, when I woke up two days ago, I said the same thing... James, Greg. Please meet Lawrence Cuddy. My.... Male ego so to speak."
Greg and James simply stared at Lawrence, disbelief written all over their face.
**********************
Once they were all seated, Lisa, Greg and James on one side staring at Lawrence, Gab and Jessica. Lisa began to explain her whereabouts.
"On the night of the storm, I was on the phone and when the building was struck, I got shocked by it. When I woke up, I was on the floor behind my desk and when I looked over, I found him slumped over on the other side. At first I thought it was a joke you were playing Greg but once he woke up and told me his name, I just couldn't believe it."
"So we had DNA tests run." Larry, for short, added. "And while you all were getting checked out, we did the same thing for you."
"Without my consent, I could sue you know." Greg replied, costing four pair of eyes to glare at him, but it earned a chuckle from Gab. Lisa only sighed muttering, "A long story short... Greg, James. We are looking at the weirdest encounter of our opposite genders."
There was a long pause, like a break. Letting them all take the news in, letting it sink in deep and make them understand. "So... The DNA test showed we are the same?" Jessica asked lightly, letting Lisa nod. "Larry and I even did a fingerprint test, shocking enough, they are the same. We have the same blood type, eyes, sugar level, same scars from childhood. The whole nine yards."
"What do we do then?" Wilson asked lightly, making Larry frown. "That... we dont know. As much as I hate to say it, but we seem to be stuck in your world. And here... we dont exist, so that leaves us with a very big problem."
"Oh no, I worked to damn hard to be told now that I dont have my degree!" Gab looked to Larry with outrage, watching him sigh. "House, what can I do? We have nothing in this world. No money, no clothes. Hell we dont even have a job. We are pretty much...well.."
"Your fucked." Greg offered, making Lisa elbow him.
"Oh no.... What are we going to do? Can we get back home?" Jessica asked nervously. It was heart breaking to find out she lost her medical license, but what was worse was there were clients that needed her back at her 'own' building. "I dont know how to get back Wilson, I've been trying to figure it out. Right now, I'm trying to talk some professors to let us take a few exams just to get our PHD's here, but its a very small chance." Gab began to complain along with Jessica, only to have Lisa voice cut in.
"But! Larry and I have come to an agreement... In till we find out whats really is going on... I dont see why I can't have you three work in this hospital... and in till we can work out an agreement for your licenses... You can help your counterpart as an... assistant of some sort."
"I'm going to working for him?!"
"I'm going to be working with her?!"
Lisa and Larry sighed in union as Greg and Gab stood up.
"No way!"
"Not happening!"
"I'm loner, she'll ruin everything with her PMS!"
"I'm not working with this bastard, He'll try to gas me with his own bowels!"
"Sit down!" Gab and Greg jerked and glared at each other, the double attack of both Cuddys voice making them sit. Lisa, outraged, stood up herself.
"We thought long and hard about it and this is the best way. It will keep you guys busy, get you some money to live off of and let us try to figure out what has happened. Besides, House I thought you would jump at the chance to work with someone who was just like you."
"Yeah, but her fun bags are going to get in the way, Foremen and 13 will be to busy trying to get into her pants to solve any case."
"Yeah cause I'm such a catch. Just ask Larry here."
Larry only glared down at Gab making her grin, giving him a playful wink. But Jessica rose her arm. "If we are to stay here... where are we going to live at so to speak? We dont have any money..."
"That's... where my idea came in." Larry offered. "I suggest, you two stay at your counter parts place."
"Whoa! No women can enter my man cave!" Greg protested, even Jessica gasp. "I can't stay with James, That would be rude!"
James looked at Gab seeing her roll her eyes and sink back into the couch, her arms crossed at the whole idea. He bit his inner cheek, the thought of asking Cuddy to let Gab stay with him played on his brain. He dealt with living with Greg and survived that... Gab most likely would be the same way. Voices began to bicker and grow as Greg complained and Jessica refusing and the Cuddys trying to make them understand.
"I have an idea."
All eyes went to James as he blinked, his hand rubbing the back of his neck. "Why dont we make this easier? Larry you can stay with Cuddy since you has the extra space. I can move in with Greg and Gab and Jessica can stay at my apartment. Its small and clean and I just stocked it up so they would have everything they need and we wont be stepping on anybodies toes."
Gabs brow shot up as Jess touched her chin in thought. Larry smiled, pleased with the idea as Lisa gave a nod. "If you are willing to let them have your place James, I dont see a problem with it. How about it Greg, does that work better for you?"
Greg looked from one person to another. Looking to James, he grimed. He didn't want to share his place, the very idea left a bitter taste in his mouth. Wilsons idea was good, he wouldn't mind having him as a room mate again, his food was always good and the company was always nice. But the more he thought about it, the deeper he began to picture it. What if the girls were stuck with them for months..
That would be months of Wilsons nagging.
Months of Wilson yelling at him for over using his vicodin.
Months of Wilson offering him help
Oh god... Months of 6 A.M. Hair drying.
He twitched a little before he pushed himself to stand. All eyes were on him then, waiting for an answer. With a snarl, he looked to Gab, watching her roll her cane in her palms.
"I change my mind. I want the female."
