Chapter 4: Protection

He lay in bed and tossed and turned but he couldn't sleep. He was thinking of the night three weeks ago, why hadn't they used protection? He's a doctor for crying out load, he should know what could happen if a man does dirty things with a girl. The girl can get pregnant! But he had other things to think of she was so beautiful with her blond hair and that breathtaking smile. He didn't want to push her away, he had to cope with the facts that he was going to be a father. Again.

She was so stupid, why can't she learn to take the pills? When she was with Chase she didn't want to get pregnant but they had used condoms and to be honest they didn't do it that much. But with House she hadn't had a thought of that, he looked so sweet when he smiled or rather smirked. She didn't care if he was a cripple, she would have liked him anyway but House thinks she just likes him because she wants to fix him. That isn't true! She likes him because he is who he is and no one can change that. And she really had to do something about the "baby situation", she really wanted the best for this kid even if she was going to get hurt.

How did it come to this? His girlfriend, ex-girlfriend had slept with another man, and not just any ma. His former boss, the old crippled one with a cane and no sense of dialects! How could she betray him like this? He had been kind to her, he had even thought about proposing to her.

He couldn't sleep, he was thinking of about what House had said earlier about the unexpected pregnancy. And House had looked like he really liked the thought of this kid but didn't want to go through the same thing again. Even him, James "womanizer" Wilson the friendly oncologist that love every person he meet, don't want kids. He just can't see himself as a dad and that makes it even harder to understand that House- the not so friendly one wants to have kids! It just doesn't seem right. He must be dreaming.

Next day

House was sitting in his office and bounced his ball against the wall, he was in deep thoughts until his friend Wilson came through the door and broke the silence with the words:

"Talk to her!" House stopped for a second and looked at him but then he threw the ball again.

"You know you can't hide from her forever!"

"How do you know? Have you asked your magic eight ball that question?"

"No I haven't but…"

"No you haven't, but I have and it said I could and it never lies. So go away and tell people the jolly news that they have cancer!" Wilson shook his head and turned around, but before he got out of the door he said:

"She loves you, you know!" And with that he was gone.

"House I've got a new case for you!"

"Well isn't that something new." He replied sarcastic. Cuddy rolled her eyes in her Cuddy way.

"It's very interesting, it's a fifteen year old girl with pregnancy symptoms and… "

"Then why do you need me- the best diagnostician in the world? I mean problem solved, if she wants an abortion then it isn't my area." When he talked about abortions he felt his stomach twinge, he usually didn't feel anything when he talked about kids at work and that is one of the reasons he calls them foetus for as long as possible, he don't want to get attached. But now he was facing a baby, no a foetus in his own "real" life again and he didn't know what to do.

"I'll take the case." He said and took the journal from Cuddy and limped away. He didn't even know why he did it, he just had to.
