"Stacy is back." House said the next morning, walking into Wilson's office.
"I know, I saw her yesterday." Wilson replied, looking closely at House. "Did you see the boy with her?"
"Yeah. He's mine." House said and Wilson leaned back.
"What are you going to do?"
"She showed up at my apartment last night and made me an offer. I can spend a day with the kid and decide whether I want to be a part of his life, or I cannot call her back and I won't have to have anything to do with him…or her."
"So, which are you going to do?" Wilson asked and House sat down.
"I don't know. I never thought about being a father. God knows no kid needs me as a dad. But she wasn't wearing her ring last night, which means her and Mark are finally over. This could be my chance to finally get her back for good, guilt free." House said.
"So, spend the day with Danny and make your decision after. What is it going to hurt?"
"If nothing else, it will give me time to find out more about Stacy." House said, agreeing and Wilson frowned.
"House, don't use your child just to manipulate Stacy to come back to you. It isn't fair to him or her and won't lead to anything except hurt for all of you." Wilson warned and House nodded distractedly. Wilson wondered if House had really heard him as the older doctor stood and left the room without another word.
"Saturday. Meet me at the apartment with the kid." House said into the phone when Stacy answered. He had gone back to his office and stared at the number for an hour before calling her.
"'The kid's' name is Danny. And we will be there at 9:00." Stacy said and House sighed.
"Fine. Danny. Whatever. See you then." He replied and hung up the phone. As usual, he felt a pit forming in his stomach telling him that this was a mistake. But something else also told him that this was his last chance.
