Chapter Seven - No Where But No Where
"Enough with the small talk." House rolled his blue eyes.
The panel looked around at each other not sure who was going to do the talking. "We have came to the conclusion," Wilson stopped hoping that someone else would be willing to continue his sentence.
"Conclusion?" Cuddy raised her eyebrows waiting for the Wilson to continue.
"We have decided that neither one of you will be fired." Wilson smiled hoping this would relieve the tension.
"Thank you very much." Cuddy motioned to get up.
"However, your actions are not going unnoticed. We have to be able to set an example for the other employees of this hospital." The middle man's voice was strong and superior. Cuddy immediately sat back down. "Dr. Cuddy you're relationship with Dr. House has gone against hospital policy, therefore you are being suspended for 15 days without pay."
"That is not----" Cuddy's response was cut off.
"As for Dr. House," The man glared at towards her and then redirected his eyes at House. "You are going without punishment, however you will be watched. We will not play any of your games and you must report to Dr. Wilson frequently with a report on your patient or patients at the time." He took a sip of water before continuing. "Most of all you MUST do all of the hours that you are assigned at the clinic."
"But mom." House looked towards Cuddy for some help in the situation that just occurred.
"With all do respect Dr. Kincaid I feel that you are not going about this situation the right way." Cuddy stood up and brushed off her skirt.
"And what would you suggest the right way would be?" Dr. Kincaid looked at them awaiting one of them to speak. He knew the situation was going to be harder then it would have been if it were anyone else sitting in front of him.
Cuddy couldn't think of anything off the top of her mind.
"House," Cuddy pressed hard against the door frame. "House get up." Her voice was growing louder. "House get the hell up, we're going to be late." Cuddy had no idea why she was waiting around for him. She never did before and she didn't know why now. "House you have five minutes and then I am leaving without you. I have a meeting in an hour and I have to..." Her voice trailed off.
A warm hand brushed against her abdomen, small kisses were planted on her neck. "Good morning to you too." House's scruff tickled her sensitive skin.
"Sorry." Her word choice wasn't needed. There was no need for it to be said. House had turned her around, she sprung freely in his arms.
Cuddy bit her lip knowing what he wanted. She didn't quite understand why he wanted it. Yesterday afternoon, last night, twice last night, and now this morning. "Meeting," House pressed his lips on to hers. His tongue tracing her upper and bottom lip awaiting to be let in.
Cuddy broke away first. "I can't," Cuddy's hand ended up on his chest. "You can't either."
"Yes you can, you just don't want too." House looked down at her and she knew he was defeated. The more we have sex the better it gets."
"As temping as that sounds," Cuddy choke down the words she was going to say. " I need a break." She stepped on her tippy toes and her lips brushed her skin.
"Dr. Cuddy?" The loud thud of fingers tapping on the hard wood desk broke Cuddy's train of thought. "Dr. Cuddy, your suggestion?"
"I would suggest, I mean I am suggesting that I do not get suspended." Cuddy watched the reactions of the people around her. "I don't think I should get suspended. My relationship with Dr. House is professional at work and personal at home."
"This isn't something that can be just forgotten about. We need to set an example." A snippy women that had spoken before hand spoke.
"With all due respect I understand that. I just don't think it is fair that I am being suspended for 15 days." Cuddy's eyes glared at the women awaiting to see if she was going to respond.
"Fair is a understatement. I think we are being plenty fair. Several people would love to be in your position, I being one of them." She watched Cuddy's reaction and she excepted that reaction that she had gotten.
"I don't think it is fair because I have worked here for the past seven years. I made the hospital move from fifteenth to second," Cuddy looked at this and knew she had their full attention. "I have brought the hospital millions and millions of dollars."
"What is your point?" One of the doctors quirked there eyebrow.
"My point is that this hospital won't be where it is today without me." Cuddy finished her sentence and sat back down.
"Anyone that walks around with her chest hanging out to dry can bring in money. I believe it is called prostitution."
"That is enough." Wilson shot a glare at the panel to his right. "Dr. Cuddy and Dr. House haven't done anything wrong. You can't help who you love. Look at me, I've been married three times." Wilson's palms were spread out on the table to stop him from clenching them. "Lisa, 15 days isn't that long."
House and Cuddy sat in there chairs not sure what to say or to who to say it too. The tension had grown in the room and it had become overly awkward. Neither one of them wanted to be in the room any longer.
Cuddy twirled her thumbs around one another to stop herself from breaking down and crying right there, right there in front of them all. Was that what the hospital really thought of her? Thought that she was a whore that loved to tease the donors into giving the hospital money?
"I think we have kept you long enough. The verdict remains as it was before. Dr. Cuddy you have 15 days of suspension without pay and Dr. House you are under supervision." The wooden hammer hit the table light enough so it could be heard but quite enough that the hospital wasn't disturbed. "You may go."
