After telling House about the diagnosis things seemed to get easier. I could finally relax little. There are only two things that I need to worry about now, time and House. I am afraid that the time will go by so fast that I will miss everything. The thing that worries me more than time is House. After I'm gone I don't know what he could do. He has had a lifetime of disappointments already and me dying could push him over the edge. I think that I have found a way to give him something to live for.
I walked into the living room where House was sitting reading case files. When he saw me walk into the room, he set them down. I walked to the couch and sat next to him. He cuddled me close and I sighed.
" I have a very important question to ask you." He nodded. I hope he says yes, then I will have peace of mind." A lot of things have been on my mind lately, and one thing has stood out. I need to find a guardian for Rachel, and then after I am gone, you will have something to help you move on. Can you be Rachels guardian?"
He looked shocked. I think he knew that I was going to ask him this at some point, he probably thought it would be sometime in the future. Finally after what seemed like an eternity he cleared his throat.
" I don't know how I will be with her on my own, no promises." That means that he will. This made me so happy.
" You know, she does love you House." It was true. House has been living here for two months, and during that time Rachel has really been attached to House, which I guess is a good thing.
" Yeah, I know." He leaned in and kissed me. I only have 4 more months of this. Now I only have one enemy left, time.
