Okay once again I'm really, really, really eternally sorry for taking so long. I could blame it on school but I've just really been lazy lol. Again I'm sorry and I hope you like this chapter. :D Please read and review!!
Once the ambulance reached the hospital, Cuddy was examined. It turned out that the Hyperemesis Gravidarum came back. She was admitted in the hospital for several days when she was told by her OB/GYN that she should seriously think about taking her maternity leave early. Weeks later Cuddy was well into her third trimester. Sara was even further, due in just a few weeks. Cuddy went on her maternity leave kicking and screaming. Thankfully House allowed her to contact the hospital once a day to make shore everything was running smoothly. House and Cuddy worked out their issues with Jake, they got to know him pretty well and found out what a good guy he really is. Sara was still living with her parents as Jake was away taking a college course in Alabama, promising to return home just before Sara had the baby. Sara and Cuddy were both doing just fine; everything seemed to be going on schedule. House on the other hand had to cater to their every whine. If that meant making them peanut butter and pickle sandwiches at 3am or turning up the air conditioner to freezing temperatures forcing him to walk around the house in a winter coat and hat in the middle of the summer. He was really starting to wish that these two kids would be born, so then he wouldn't have to live in these horrible conditions. He wish almost became a reality that night.
"Hey what's the matter?" House asks Cuddy watching her toss and turn in bed.
"I can't sleep!" Cuddy said frustrated. "Your son or daughter is keeping me up." She said giving him a sour look.
"Aww good boy." He said patting Cuddy's largely swollen stomach.
"It's too dam hot in here!" Cuddy exclaimed throwing the covers off her and House. "And what makes you so shore it's a boy?"
"Because I'm always right." House simply answered.
"No you're not. You've been wrong plenty of times House." She said fixing the bed sheets and rolling her eyes.
"Oh yea?" He challenged. "Like when?"
Cuddy thought for a moment she really couldn't think of anything at the time so she retorted, "I'm not going to bet on the sex of my un-born child House."
"Why not, people do it all the time. What, are you afraid you'll lose?" Cuddy shook her head. "Then I propose a bet." Cuddy stared at him in disbelief. "If the baby is a girl then I'll do twice as much clinic duty for a month. If it's a boy you let me off clinic duty for a month and I get to name the baby." He finished with a satisfied look on his face.
"You really want to name the baby?" Cuddy asked sincerely. House nodded. "Fine but I have to approve of the name."
"I'm not telling you until he's born."
"Or she." Cuddy added. House just raised an eyebrow. "Fine, fine now will you hand me that pillow." She asked motioning to the throw pillow sitting on the edge of the bed. House threw it to her, hitting her square in the forehead.
"Oooppps." He said playfully. "My bad." Cuddy retorted by smacking him on the shoulder.
"My bad." She mimicked.
"Mom, Dad." House and Cuddy were too into their little conversation that didn't hear Sara walking down the hall into their room. "I think it's time." Sara said a hand tightly wrapped around her stomach.
House quickly jumped out of bed and threw on a wrinkled t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Cuddy wore a comfortable matching velour sweat outfit as did Sara. They grabbed the suitcase next that was sitting next to their front door on their way out.
---------------------------
Twenty minutes later the family of three entered the hospital. A nurse quickly rushed over to them.
"Is everything alright Dr Cuddy?"
Out of breath Cuddy motioned to Sara. "She thinks she's going into labor."
"Okay let's take a look." The nurse said extending a hand towards Sara and led her to an exam room.
Fifteen minutes later Sara emerged out of the room with an embarrassed look on her face. "False alarm." She concluded. "I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed. House shook his head. "We should have known I mean we're both doctors."
"I wasn't even thinking about that possibility." Cuddy admitted. House helped Cuddy up from the waiting room chair.
"Next time that we're in this hospital we'll have a new addition to the family." House said nodding to Sara and Cuddy. Little did House know how soon that would be.
So I'm not too happy with this chapter and the fact of how short it is but I figured that I should just post it now since I haven't updated in like a month! I promise next chapter will be longer and more entertaining. Please review!!!
