Own nothing but the plot. Thanks for the support! It rhymes. Haha. Anyway, I'm ill so this might not be the best chapter in my current form.
Chapter Six: The Proposal
House sat in his office wondering how he was to get around proposing to Thirteen. Well, obviously now that Thirteen was having his kid, they ought to get married for the sake of the child, to give him or her a proper family. Besides, it'll probably make things easier when Thirteen leaves the child with him. He grimaced at the thought. They were leading a happy secretive personal life.
Before Thirteen, he had never been good at displaying his emotions. He didn't know how to show real affection and care to someone. Maybe it was because Thirteen was broken like him. Apart, they were like two separate jigsaw pieces. Together, they were a whole. Thirteen cared for him as he did for her.
Should he get help from others? Maybe Wilson, since he was married before. Yes, perhaps Wilson could help.

"HEY WILSON!" yelled House across the hallway.
A dozen people turned to stare at him. He watched Wilson turn with an exasperated expression and started walking towards him. Maybe that wasn't the best course of action. Oh well.
"To what do I own this lovely hollering pleasure?" said Wilson sarcastically rolling his eyes.
"Nothing, except how do you propose to someone? Is it like how we see it on TV? Buy a ring and go on a bended knee?" asked House.
"Why would you want to know? Unless…" Wilson trailed off.
Watching House's slightly disgruntled expression, Wilson's eyes lit up with understanding and a sneaky taunting light danced in his eyes.
"Oh ho! You're… in love. Who'd have thought the grumpy Doctor House would ever get a sincere relationship!" Wilson said triumphantly.
House avoided his eyes and snapped," Come on Wilson. Just give me the instructions. It's paining me to listen to your gloating."
"Wait. You're serious? Who's the girl?" asked Wilson not believing his friend.
Seeing as House wasn't going to give up his little secret, Wilson proceeded to give House details as they walked back towards House's office.

Foreman, Taub, Kutner and Thirteen were seated around the table. Cameron there, holding a file.
"5-year old female. Admitted to the ER after a seizure. They found that she has a fever too." said Cameron as House limped in.
"Febrile seizure. What? Nobody thought of that?" said House watching their blank faces.
"It could be meningitis too." Thirteen put in slowly.
"Okay. Test for it. Make sure no infection is in the cerebrospinal fluid. Little baby might not like the test though. A surprise if you're right." House limped away and packed up his stuff.
