Disclaimer: I do not own House or any of its characters. I only own October, Hannah and David so far.
Wilson helped October up from the floor. She finally was able to calm her self down and stop her self from crying. Wilson put his arm around her for a few seconds then pulled away. He softly smiled at her before returning to his normal stern concerned face.
"Let me see your side."
She looked up at him confused. "What?"
"You said that David kicked you…You may have broken ribs broken ribs can sometimes puncture lungs."
October rolled her eyes and slightly smiled at him. "Fine…"
October lifted her shirt up to her bra line and showed Wilson the bruise. He looked at it and gently pressed down to see if he could feel any breaks. October jerked away and put her shirt down.
"That hurt!"
"Sorry I had to check…"
"And…"
"I don't know were going to need to do some x-rays…"
October shook her head. "No, I don't want dad to know what happened that night unless it's absolutely necessary."
"He's your dad; He needs to know."
"No he doesn't, Uncle Wilson you know if he had any proof that he hit me he'll kill him without thinking. I can't let my dad go to jail over this…Isn't there some other way that we can find out if I'm hurt without doing anything my dad could find out about?"
Wilson slowly nodded; he wasn't sure if hiding everything from him would be the best way to go but telling him would certainly cause more problems then anyone could handle at the moment. In a way House already knew but hearing it from her would probably push him over the edge.
Wilson sighed; "We can do a ultrasound…it wont show us the broken ribs but it could show us if there are any punctures if their big enough for us to see which isn't likely because we would have noticed symptoms by now."
"Can we at least try? If it doesn't show us anything we can do the x-rays and I'll tell my dad about everything."
"Okay…"
October smiled and followed Wilson out into the hall. She hoped that the ultrasound would show that she was okay so she wouldn't have to tell her dad about what happened that night. She just hoped Wilson wouldn't say anything about it to him. She didn't feel like having to explain why she told him and not her own dad. She followed Wilson into the clinic.
He walked up to the front desk. "I need an exam room and a ultrasound machine."
The nurse slowly nodded and looked over the clipboard in front of her. "Exam room four is open…but the ultrasound machine is being used at the moment we can have someone bring it in."
"Thanks." Wilson turned and walked towards October. "Don't tell House!"
"Alright…"
Wilson led October in to exam room four. He smiled when he thought about the last time he had done an ultrasound on her. She was almost eight months pregnant with Hannah and she was miserable. He sat down in one of the chairs while October climbed up on the exam table and laid down.
She looked towards Wilson and smiled trying to ease up the annoying awkward feeling that seemed to hover over the room. He slightly smiled back at her before retuning to his own thoughts. He had to find a way to convince October to tell her dad what happened. If not he would end up accidentally tell and then all hell would break lose between all of them.
They both heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in."
The nurse opened the door and walked in with the Ultrasound Machine. She pushed it over beside the exam room table and smiled at Wilson before leaving the room. Wilson stood up and walked over beside the exam room table. He sighed and looked down at October.
"Are you ready?"
October slowly nodded and lifted her shirt up above the bruise. Wilson took the gel out of the cart below the machine. He picked the probe up and put some of the gel on it. He started on the bruise to see if he could tell what was broken and if it had punctured anything.
October took a deep breathe and held it in until he mover the probe down to where her were. He starred at the screen for a few minutes trying to see if there was any sign of any injuries. October starred at him trying to tell if he found anything by his facial expressions.
A few seconds later Wilson's mouth dropped. October began getting scared; Wilson moved the probe to the middle of her stomach and starred at it for a few seconds before looking down at October.
"What is it?" October asked trying to stay calm. "Is everything alright?"
"October…" Wilson said trying to find the words to tell her.
"What's wrong with me?" October said barley above a whisper.
"Your fine, I didn't mean to scare you but there is something you should know…"
"Then tell me."
"October you are about four months pregnant with twins."
October took a deep breathe and covered her face with her hands. After a few seconds she moved her hands and looked up at Wilson and smiled.
"Are the babies alright? Are they healthy?" She asked as a few tears escaped from her eyes.
Wilson smiled. "Yes, they are both healthy. David probably never came close to hitting them."
"What about when he shoved me?"
"Your first reaction when you fall is to put your hands out in front of you. You probably kept the babies from getting hurt that way." Wilson said reassuringly.
"Can I see them?"
Wilson smiled and nodded. "Of course."
Wilson smiled and turned the monitor towards her. She smiled through the tears; she was happy about being pregnant and even more happier that it was twins but what she wasn't happy about was who the daddy was. She whipped the tears away and watched the screen.
"Do you want to hear their heartbeats?"
October nodded slowly, Wilson flipped a switch on the machine turning the sound on. October closed her eyes and listened to their heartbeats. She remembered when she got to hear Hannah's heartbeat. She was just as happy as she was then; she opened her eyes and looked up at Wilson.
He smiled and took a couple pictures of the babies. He hit another button so it would print out the five pictures he took. After they finished her laid them on the machine and looked back down at October.
"Can you tell what sex they are yet?"
"Not yet; we will in about a month or so…How did you not know that you were pregnant?"
"I just thought my periods stopped because of stress."
"What about the morning sickness?"
"I never had morning sickness…is that bad?"
"No, everything's fine. Your babies are healthy but what about them moving? Didn't you feel them move."
"It just felt like I had butterflies in my stomach."
Wilson smiled and turned the machine off he handed October a paper towel. October washed all the gel off her stomach while Wilson cleaned the machine probe. October sat up and pulled her shirt down. Wilson smiled and handed her the ultrasound pictures he took.
She looked down at them and smiled before jumping off the table and sliding the pictures into one of the front pockets. She smiled when she thought about how lucky she was that she chose the one pair of pajama pants that had pockets. She looked over at Wilson and smiled.
"Lets go make sure my baby is okay…Don't tell dad I'm going to tell him tonight…"
"I won't"
Wilson smiled at October and they both walked back to the conference room. October stood at the door for a minute and watched Hannah play with just about everyone in the room. October opened the door and walked into the room.
"Is she okay?" October asked eagerly
"Yeah, it's just a black eye nothing to worry about…What about you? Are you okay?" House asked concerned.
October smiled happily. "Yeah I'm fine dad."
Hannah giggled and crawled over to her. She stood up when she got near her and walked over to her. She picked her up in the cradle position with her stomach touching hers. She smiled down at Hannah and kissed her forehead.
"How's mommy's baby girl doing?"
Hannah giggled and touched October's cheek with her hand. "I'm good mommy!"
October smiled and looked up at everyone. They were all starring at her like she was some stranger that wondered in off the streets. October smiled at all of them and looked down at Hannah. She kissed her forehead again.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for your test baby girl."
"It's okay mommy; grandpa took it first so I wouldn't be scared."
"He did." October looked up at her dad and smiled. "Thanks dad."
"No problem…What I want to know is what happened while you two were gone?"
"Nothing we just went for a walk and talked some…I'm better now which reminds me...Aunt Cuddy can you come over tonight after work?"
Cuddy starred at her for a few seconds. "Sure…" She looked over at Wilson. "What did you give her?"
"What? Nothing…Do you honestly think I would give her drugs?"
"Something happened while you two were gone."
"I didn't give her any drugs Cuddy."
House smirked at Wilson then looked at October. "Why do you want Cuddy to come over?"
"Because I do…I haven't seen her in two years dad I would like to spend sometime with her."
October smiled at both of them before looking back down at Hannah. She knew she would have to tell them about what happened that night in order to explain how Wilson ended up giving her a ultrasound. She just hoped that her dad wouldn't freak out too much since it was something he already suspected in the first place.
She also wondered if she should tell them about the voice mails…
