Chapter Six - Sex, Anger and Disappointment

"Just how much longer did you think we could have gone with out the hospital figuring it out?" Cuddy sat at the kitchen table as House wondered around the house.

"I don't know," House pulled a chair out across from her. "Wilson said that they were concerned or something." House hated himself for not really caring at the time of his friends explanation.

"They are going to fire us both, oh my at least." Cuddy placed her head on the table.

"No they won't." House tried to hide his smile. He and Cuddy both knew if the board had any brains at all they wouldn't fire her.

"One of us is getting fired." Cuddy's voice was mumble. The sound bouncing off the table as she spoke.

"And you think it s going to be you?" House looked at her looking for some kind of reaction from her.

"Yes, I am having a romantic relationship with a subordinate." She propped her head up on her arms.

"This is crazy. There is no way that they will fire you or me for that matter." House smirked. He knew he was right and he knew that she was just upsetting herself for no reason.

"You can't be so sure of that." Cuddy looked at him. She swallowed hard trying to fight the toughening tears that planned to escape. "For the life of me I hope your right."

"I hope to god I am right." Cuddy looked at him in shock.

"God?" Cuddy waited for an explanation. "I thought you were an atheists."

"I am," He waited till he shock wore off. "You're not."

"Cuddy, House, you can come back in now." Wilson was in the doorway.

Wilson left the door open as his friends followed him in to the conference room. He stepped back up on to the panel deck and returned to his seat hoping that his friends knew he had know say in what was to come.

"You got to stop doing this to yourself." House slammed his hand on top of the polished desk. Cuddy jumped in her seat as he startled her. "You can't control what is thrown your way. Poor Cuddy she can't get pregnant, poor Cuddy she can't think for herself, Poor Lisa Cuddy she doesn't know what the board is going to decide. Poor Lisa Cuddy, who the hell cares?"

Cuddy sat in her chair terrified and trying to hold the tears the were willing to fall. "Typical no reaction." Cuddy tried to remember what she might have done to set him off but couldn't recall anything. The sex this morning was good, longer and better for her and him, so she thought.

"Nothing at all to say?" House leaned all of his wait on to the piece of wood that eased pressure off his bad leg.

"Sorry." Cuddy didn't know what she had done to piss him off or better yet what had pissed him off to begin with.

"Sorry? Do you even know why? I sure the hell don't. Why the hell are you apologizing?" House tapped his cane on the carpet floor waiting for a explanation why.

Cuddy was still frozen in her chair.

"What the hell are you being mute? Did you loose you voice from me fucking you to now?" House stepped forward and Cuddy flinched.

Cuddy jumped in her seat not even realizing that she had done so. She had no reason to jump as he walked closer to her. She knew he would never hurt her no matter how pissed off her was, that was her parents not Cuddy and House. That wasn't there relationship.

"I, I, I…"

"I, I, I, I don't understand you at the moment." House sat down in the chair across from her.

"What the hell is your problem?" Cuddy met his eyes in her gaze.

"Have you not left your office this morning?" House lowered his voice. Realizing he allowed the nurses station to hear enough already.

"No, I've been in here doing paper work." House rolled his eyes. "What the hell is going on?"

"You're looking for the god damn sympathy vote." House picked up his cane and let it hit the flood and bounce in between his fingers.

"What?" Cuddy folded her arms across her breasts. Her cleavage becoming more notable that before.

"Don't play dumb." House looked at her and realized she really had no fucking clue what he was talking about. "Never mind."

"No, you can't barge into my room accusing me of something and then just drop it." Cuddy stopped before she would say something that would set him off again.

"Yes I can and I just did." House leaned on his cane as he stood up.

"No you can't, it's immature and unfair." Cuddy applied pressure on her desk as she mimicked him and stood up.

"Yes I can. Come Cuddy it isn't anything." House turned on his heals attempting to escape.

"Apparently it was. Plus two can play at this game." Cuddy smiled.

"You won't." House turned to look at his sex partner.

"I would." Cuddy dropped the smile to show him she was being completely serious.

"Your cruel.

"You're an ass." Cuddy sat back down in her chair knowing that she had won that battle.

"The stupid blondies you hired as nurses like to talk shit about a lot of people and a lot of stuff." House looked down at the ground. He didn't want to admit that he was his old self again. "Dr. Cuddy is going to put her job first, she's going to break up with Dr. House, no way was she going to risk being the only female dean of medicine for a arrogant jackass that House is. Dr. Cuddy has to know that Dr. House and Dr. Cameron are sleeping together behind her back." He stopped waiting for her reaction.

"You have got to be serious. I told you that we would fight the board as a couple not as Dr. Cuddy and Dr. House. But a couple." Cuddy paused. "Well yeah we will still be Dr. Cuddy and Dr. House, but you get the point. You have to be able to trust my word when I say something."

"Which is why I am a jackass." House turned to leave. "This is why I blame Wilson for all my problems."

"Yeah," Cuddy smiled. "Wait, how is Dr. Cameron today Greg?"

"Thank you for joining us again. We thought instead of calling you back one by one that we would just get this done and over with right now." The salt and pepper hair man in the middle spoke as House and Cuddy took the seats that were provided for the both of them.

"Un huh." House mumbled under his breath. "That is why."

"Dr. Cuddy, you have given us a lot to think about. I mean a lot to think about and consider." He had continued to talk.

"Let one of the other birds speak." House said getting tired of hearing this guys voice.

"Shut up." Cuddy reached her hand out and touched him on the lap to quiet him down.

"As I was saying, Dr. Cuddy you gave us a lot to think about and consider. Some good and some bad." He took a drink of water from the clear glass. "I hope you won't react badly to our decision." He motioned to the surrounding people and lingered on Wilson.

Wilson squirmed in his chair. He didn't like all the set of eyes on him.
