Chapter 11

Molly walked away from Cuddy's office. The look of pure tiredness and worry filled her face. The hospital died down since she was with her cousin, she went to the doors and pushed them open and started to walk. Needing to clear her head of everything that had happened, needing something anything to make the time stand still.

It had gotten chilly that night, and Molly walked around wondering and not knowing where she was going just hoping something, could help her view on things. Suddenly she stopped at the cross walk and just stood.

Molly started to sing and looked up to the sky and saw a shooting a star and wished that House would come home soon. At the same moment Cuddy was in her office trying her best to work on the papers that was in front of her. Wilson had offered to do them but she insisted that she needed to do them herself otherwise the board would throw the world's largest baby fit of all time and she did not want to deal with that. Not after all this is happening. She kept getting distracted by the photos on her desk and set her pen down. It was a matter of time before she looked at the picture again and picked it up off her desk stood up and walked to her window. Nothing could give her much hope that was until she remembered she was pregnant and House was the father. She was losing all that was important to her besides her daughter, her unborn child hopefully, and her niece. She was missing her fiancée and no matter how many people told her everything would be alright she needed him there with her. But she needed him to be alright and the only way for her to get him back was for her to let him do what he was doing even though it hurt so badly having the feelings she had and knowing she is suppose to be a fighter and be strong for Molly and Rachel, yet Cuddy's very core was about to burst at the seam. Everything she did was a constant reminder of him and wanting him back. Her thoughts drifted to a place only she knew she felt safe, the day they were at the game and she 'stole' his jacket. Nothing could erase the feelings of love she felt then and now. She was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts by her door shutting behind her. She jumped as she turned to see Wilson with an apologetic look upon his face. Cuddy relaxed as she saw it was just Wilson and not Lucas.

"Wilson I swear you are going to be so close to me one day when you do that and I am going to smack you." Cuddy was trying to calm herself down a little bit more which was not really working.

"I'm sorry Cuddy. I didn't mean to freak you out." Wilson stepped closer but kept a distance to avoid Cuddy keeping her promise to smack him.

"Yeah okay so quietly sneaking into my office without warning is not meaning to freak me out. What are you doing here so late anyway?" Her dean side was suddenly forcing its way to the surface only to disappear once she was alone yet again.

"Patient for uh House's team…they needed me to help them out a little. Everything is better except having my best friend here. How are you doing any way? You should go home and take tomorrow off. I will be more than happy to sub for you. Lisa you need time with Rachel and Molly." Wilson knew by bringing the girls into the mix Cuddy would fold and rest like she needed.

"I can't rest Wilson. House is not here and I have no idea when or if I will see him again. And you want me to rest?" Cuddy was not going to give so easily.

"I know you wouldn't rest Lisa, you are on constant Energizer Bunny mode. You need to be home with Rachel. She is going to start asking questions soon. She hasn't seen her dad in a while she will know something is wrong."

Cuddy was hesitant she had no idea how to address her daughter on the fact that her daddy was missing but was going to be home soon. She couldn't give false hope because Cuddy herself had no way of knowing if House would make it back home alive or if she had to prepare the whole family for a mourning situation.

"You're…you're right. If you are sure that you wouldn't mind being in charge tomorrow. I will spend the day with Rachel." Cuddy was on the verge of tears.

"Yes I'm sure. Now give me the papers you still have and I will start on them tonight and finish the rest tomorrow." Cuddy walked back to her desk and got the folders for Wilson hands trembling. Wilson noticed but didn't say anything knowing Cuddy she would say it was a lack of proper food.

"Okay I am going to go. Lock up when you're done please." Cuddy grabbed her briefcase, her purse, keys and coat and walked to the parking garage.

As she reached her car she heard her cell phone go off. She reached into her purse and pulled it out. The caller ID flashed and she answered.

"Hello…"

"Lisa."

For the second time that night Cuddy's heart stopped in those few seconds. All it took was that one word, her name to send chills down her spine.

*I know it's taken me forever to update but do not give up on me yet. I have been dealing with some personal matters, but I promise to update soon. But honestly who thinks it is House or Lucas? Please review*
