Chapter 6
"Is Daddy going to come and have ice-cream with us?" Matthew asked from the back seat of the car.
"Aah...no," Parker Rerrie told the little boy, "He is very busy. That's why he asked me to take you because he couldn't do it himself."
"Okay," Matthew said trustingly.
After all she did work for his daddy and his daddy made Corrodus and Rae take him for treats all the time. So why should he have been scared?
They drove in silence for a few minutes.
What the hell am I doing? Rerrie asked herself.
Sure she had been obsessed with House for years and she had done everything possible to be able to get close to him and sure she was shocked to find out that he was married and he had a kid, but she couldn't believe that she had just stolen the man's son out of the hospital.
What the hell was I thnking? She gripped the steering wheel tightly. It's not too late, I can still turn around, pick some ice-cream up for the kid, go back to the hospital and pretend that I meant nothing by taking him out of the hospital. She told herself.
However the irrational part of her argued against turning back and it was definitely making the stronger argument.
"Rerrie," Matthew said breaking her train of thought.
"Yes?"
"Do you want to know a secret?"
"Sure,"
"I told my daddy that I want a baby brother for Christmas and he said he doesn't know if I can get a baby brother but he'll have fun working on it for me," Matthew stated proudly with a big grin on his face, "I don't know what that means."
Rerrie was taken aback. How could House say stuff like that to his young son? She wondered.
"Rerrie?" Matthew just kept on talking, "Are we at the ice-cream place yet?"
"All most there," Rerrie said realising that she had to by the kid some ice-cream.
"Do you know what ice-cream I like?" Matthew said chattering away, "I like chocolate, vanilla, stawberry, cherry, mango, cookies and cream, rocky road, caramel and kiwi. Do you know why? Because that's all the ice-cream I ever eat my whole life."
"Really."
"Yes, but I bet I would like all ice-cream in the world if I eat it. I love ice-cream and you know what else I like? I like pie and cake. Do you like pie and cake and ice-cream?" Matthew asked.
Rerrie wasn't listening because she was paying attention to the road and the turn off to the DQ up ahead.
"Aah...what?" she asked noticing that Matthew had gone silent.
"Do you like pie and cake and ice-cream?" Matthew asked once more.
"Oh yes of course. Who doesn't?" Rerrie answered.
"What kind of pie do you like bestest?" Matthew asked.
"Cherry."
"I like cherry too, but I like blueberry bestest,"Matthew told Rerrie, "Are we there now?" he asked when Rerrie pulled into the DQ parking lot.
"Yes," she told him, "you stay here and I'll be back with the ice-cream."
"Mommy and daddy never make me stay in the car," Matthew said pouting, "Kids aren't 'pose to stay in cars alone."
"Yeah well I'll be back really quickly so you can stay in the car," Rerrie said before shutting the door behind her and walking towards the building.
Matthew sat pouting in the back seat of Rerrie's car waiting for her to return.
"Kids aren't 'pose to stay in the car alone," he muttered when she re-entered the car and handed him the sunday she had bought for him, "I'm going to tell my daddy on you."
Rerrie ignored the small boy and pulled out of the DQ parking lot.
"I wanna eat my ice-cream now," Matthew complained.
"Well eat it then."
"But we're driving, I'm not 'pose to eat when we drive. Mommy said so. You have to stop driving."
"No we can't stop driving."
"But I want to eat my ice-cream now," Matthew whined, "I can't wait because it will get runny."
"So eat it now."
"I told you, I'm not 'pose to eat when we are driving!" Matthew yelled at her.
"Well, then why don't you just let it melt."
"I don't like you," Matthew told her, "I want my mommy and daddy and I'm gonna tell daddy to fire you."
"Oh I'm so scared," Rerrie said her voice dripping in sarcasm.
Matthew pouted and they kept on driving.
After severl minutes Matthew looked out the window. He didn't recognise where they were.
"Are we almost back at the hospital?" he asked.
"No," Rerrie said getting annoyed by him, "we aren't going back to the hospital."
"Why not? Where we going?"
"Far away."
"Will we be back by dinner time?"
"No," Rerrie told him.
"Why not? Is mommy and daddy going to come get me."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Stop asking questions!" Rerrie shouted at him, "You are never going to see your mommy and daddy ever again."
Matthew was very scared now, "Why not?" he asked crying.
"They don't want you anymore," Rerrie told him, "They don't love you anymore."
Matthew really started to to cry then, "It's not true!" he shouted, "You lie, you a liar!"
Rerrie laughed, "House told me himself that he doesn't want you anymore," she told him, "so you better stop crying."
Matthew only cried harder.
Rerrie sighed. There was no turning back now. She was officially a kidnapper.
