One or Two Things I Know for Sure

Chapter 15 News

"This better be good House, you know I'm not suppose to drive on Shabbat" Wilson says as he walks into the bar, it's three hours till sundown and he would have waited to come if House hadn't left those obnoxious messages on his answering machine.

"Yeah, and your wife is the best example of what a conservative Jewish woman should dress like" House shots back, his eyes not leaving the beer bottle in his hands. He is picking at the label, trying to take the whole thing off without ripping it. "Since when do you keep up with Jewish traditions anyway?"

"The kids wanted to learn more about it" Wilson answers, brushing it off because he wants this conversation to be over soon. House just nods, not really listening.

Wilson sighs and takes a seat across from his friend, knowing that this is going to take a while.

"So what exactly is the cause of me having to drive all the way over here?" Wilson asks, because he wants to know why it is that his friend has been sitting here for hours (if he counts from the first phone call he received). Curiosity has always been his weakest flaw.

House is quiet for a moment, as if the bottle in his hand is the most fascinating thing. Wilson is starting to roll his eyes and list the reasons why he should kill his best friend when he finally speaks.

"I'm a jackass" House says simply, looking up at his friend.

"Did you finally figure that one out?" Wilson answers with a smile, but when House doesn't make a joke out of he leans forward "What happened?"

Wilson is worried now, because the last time he saw his friend this serious nothing good came out of it, and he is sure that this will be no picnic either.

"Allison kicked me out"

"She finally came to her senses?" Wilson knows he should be more sympathetic, but that has never worked before and won't start now.

"I guess she did" House has a hint of a smile on his lips, before he closes his eyes and then finally looks up at his friend "She's pregnant"

"Oh, wow. I would say congratulations, but you obviously did something stupid already so it won't be needed"

"True" House puts down the bottle "I freaked out; she's on her second trimester. Guess she hasn't been paying attention, and I may have said something about it being irresponsible"

"Well since this is you, it was more than that" Wilson says, leaning back on his chair and arching a brow.

"Okay, and something about how it's a stupid idea and that maybe she did it on purpose"

"Ha, see there is the reason your sorry ass is out in the cold"

"Shut up Jimmy" House says with a glare at his friend.

"Hey you are the one who asked me to come here; I was having a pleasant Shabbat at home"

"Could you ask the Dragon Lady to talk to her? I'd rather sleep on my own bed than your couch" House asks, looking back down at the bottle in his hand. It surprises Wilson that for as long as his friend has been in this bar, there are only two bottles on the table.

"No way, you put yourself in this mess. Why are you so worried about it anyway? You didn't freak out this much with Maddy and Leah. I remember something similar with Annabel, but you didn't get kicked out then"

"It's just that I'm too old for a newborn. The girls are all in school already, and… I'm scared" it amazes Wilson that he actually got a truthful confession out of his friend. Even though there is probably so much more to this than what he is letting out, but it is something that he admits to being scared.

"House, stop being your old bastard self-doubting self, I thought you got rid of that years ago. You are going to be a dad again, and making your wife pissed off right isn't the best thing" Wilson knows he should be more gentle, but this is House he is trying to get through.

When Wilson gets home that night he gets a call from Allison, telling him thank you.

And that she would take his side of the bet this time around.

It was short, but what you think? I'm gonna write about when Allison finds out about the pregnancy, maybe not next but soon.

Please review and I promise to have another chapter up by the weekend!
