AN: According to the doctor, my girlfriend suffered from Pre-Eclampsia, so they performed an emergency C-section, but for some unknown reason, my baby's heart wouldn't start. They don't know what happened, seeing as we were only three weeks away from the due date. Anyway, in this chapter, we will see House, Taub, Cuddy and maybe Rachel.
The four of us wandered through the hospital entrance, Ivy sitting on my shoulder. Her tiny hands had grabbed handfuls of my hair. I winced as she gleefully pulled. "Honey, if you want to stay up there, you need to stop that." Ivy let go.
I pulled Ivy off my shoulders and put her on the ground. She hugged my legs, hiding behind me slightly as we stopped in the foyer. Allison bent down and looked at Ivy. "I need to take mummy to go get fixed, but I bet if you and Elena can find Aunty Lisa, she might have Rachel for you to play with." Allison sent me a quick look. I read into it that she knew Rachel was here with Cuddy. Ivy nodded happily, skipping off towards Cuddy's office, with Elena in tow.
I watched them go, before Allison grabbed my hand and pulled me into the ER. I sat in her office as she went to get supplies. Everything was neat and orderly, exactly like I expected. A picture of the three of us when Ivy was two sat on her desk. We looked happy and carefree. Allison came back in to find me holding the picture, a tear or two leaking from my eyes. She wiped away the tears. She pulled the picture from my hands and look at it. "Your 30th birthday, a great day." She kissed my forehead. "Come on now, take your top off."
I smirked at Allison. "All you had to do was ask." I stripped off my top, standing in front of her in a red lace bra and black slacks. Allison cleared her desk and bade me to lay down on it. She stripped off the old bandage and wiped the disinfectant over the cut. "Hold still." Allison started sewing up my wound again.
When she was done, I sat up and turned to face her. I hoped off the desk and onto her lap. I kissed her forehead, her nose, until I reached her mouth. She deepened the kiss, putting her hand on the back of my head. When we pulled away, I kissed her eyelids. "Maybe I can repay you for last night." I gently bite my lower lip.
Allison giggled, "Not in my office. Maybe tonight, however." Allison reached for something out of my field of vision. I leaned my head against her shoulder. "Clench your fist for me, Rem." I did as I was told, not thinking about it. Until, I felt the needle pierce my skin. I knew not to move while it was in me, but as soon as it left my arm. I jumped up.
"What the hell are you doing, Allie?" I started pacing the room. "I told you I didn't want this test." I turned to face her. "Explain yourself."
Allison didn't say a word, she just pointed at my left arm. It was shaking. I grabbed it with my other hand to still it. I slid down the wall in defeat, tears streaming down my face. She didn't hesitate in coming over to me. She wrapped her arms around my shoulder, pulling me in. "Don't do it for you," she whispered into my ear. "Do it for Ivy. Do it for me." I nodded against her shoulder. She pulled me back onto her lap while I kept sobbing into her shoulder.
When I finally stopped crying, we just continued to sit there. "I'm sorry, Allie. I'm really sorry. Please don't hate me." Allison laughed as I said this. "I love you. I want to be with you forever." Allison ran her hands down my arms.
"Remy, Baby, I'm not going anywhere. And I could never hate you. You make me feel like a princess." Allison kissed my check. "We need to know this so we can deal with it. I'm not leaving you or Ivy to deal with it alone." She pecked my lips. I kissed back hungrily, running my tongue along her teeth. We both snapped up we heard a noise.
"Oh, yeah. This is better than my soaps." House stood in the doorway, an incredulous look on his face. "This might be better then porn. No, scratch that. Not better than porn. At least, not yet. What?" He looked suspicious. "I like to watch." I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand, reaching for my shirt. "Oh, no, don't do that." He sighed when I re-buttoned my top. "Cuddy's looking for you. Something about the munchkins running rampant or some such. I wouldn't know I was staring at her breasts." House flinched as someone hit him from behind.
"I heard that." Cuddy stepped into the room and examined Cameron and I. "Keep it up and you will be sleeping on the couch for the next week."
House looked at her, puppy dog face in full effect. "But Cuddles, it was a compliment."
Cuddy ignored him and turned back to us. Her eyes picked up my puffy eyes and the syringe of blood in Allison's hand. "Are you testing?" Allison nodded. I looked away.
"Cuddy, do you think you would be able to take Ivy for a night or two. When the test comes back, we are both going to want to either celebrate or commiserate and Ivy shouldn't be around for either."
Cuddy nodded. "That should be fine. I still have some clothes of hers left over from the last time she stayed." As she finished speaking, the two girls ran in, one tackling Cuddy, the other jumping into me.
"Mommy, can I stay with Rachel?" Ivy was practically bouncing in my arms. I nodded and she jumped out, grabbing Rachel's arm. The older brunette looked expectantly up at her mum. Cuddy nodded and Rachel let out a giggle. Rachel and Ivy tried to run off, but Cuddy grabbed her arm. "We are leaving in five minutes. Wait here."
It was at this moment that Elena turned up, looking flustered and out of breath. "Sorry, I tried, but they are so fast. I lost them around Radiology." Cuddy turned and looked down at the two fidgeting girls. "What do you ladies say?" They turned their angelic smiles onto Elena. "We're sowwy." Cuddy picked up Ivy and threw the three year old onto her shoulders.
"Be careful, she pulls hair when she's up there." My voice cracks as I warn her. Cuddy nods and leaves. House bends down to give Rachel a piggy-back ride and leaves too.
Allison turns to me. "This test shouldn't take too long. Elena will take you home. I'll get a taxi". She goes to leave the room, but I stop her. My hand holds onto her wrist tight.
"Please don't. I don't want to be alone." Tears start welling up in my eyes again. "Don't make me be alone." I pull her into an embrace, hiding my eyes in her shoulder.
Allison kissed my cheek. "Don't worry." She kissed my nose. "It will only be a couple of hours." She kissed my eyelid. "I will be home before lunch." She gave me a chaste kiss on the lips. "Now, go. The sooner you are gone, the sooner I can be home." She pushed me out the door.
Allison sat in the lab, staring at the test. She was waiting for the courage to look at the results. The labs had come back in five minutes ago, but she had just sat there, doing nothing. Allison made her mind up, standing and ripping the paper from the printer. She glanced down the page to where is listed Huntington's and looked to the right.
Elena had left twenty minutes ago, I was alone. I stood in my daughters bedroom, staring at the pictures that covered her duchess and walls. All these memories and I couldn't remember a single one. Tears were streaming down my face.
I left the room and went to sit on my bed. I lay down, a bottle of sleeping pills in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other.
AN: OH TWO CLIFFHANGERS. I'M SO MEAN. I'm going to keep working on this, but I'm still wondering where I'm going to take it. In the mean time, I have a one-shot coming out on Valentines Day. (It'll be the 13th for you guys, because I'm on the other side of the world) my therapist ordered story and maybe another one because I have an idea for a new AU story. On a side note, these pills are fucking with me something shocking. I was watching In Time and almost started crying when Olivia died. Then I watched Cowboys and Aliens and did cry when Olivia died. Twice.
