AN: I am in shock.

I had this all ready before tonight's episode but Twitter kept me away from posting it before the episode aired. Stupid! I should have posted it before! Now I'm all heartbroken and this fic doesn't even make sense anymore! Cause honestly after tonight, I can't live in denial. It's impossible.

This wasn't supposed to be the last chapter. I wanted to do another fluffy Huddy one, but I don't know if I can right now, unless you guys really want me to!

I think I've gone into depression mode! And I might want to take some Vicodin just to numb the pain!

Okay anyway, hope you enjoy, let me know what you guys think!

*dies*


Previously:

'It would help if we knew what poison we were looking for!' Taub said.

They had only been busy for half an hour but were kind of desperate as this was their bosses kid they were treating.

Foreman sighed. 'Just keep checking, maybe something will match.' he said.

Suddenly his phone rang.

'Foreman.' He answered.

'Start her on vitamin K and activated charcoal.' House told him.

'Wait, she was poisoned by rat poison?' Foreman asked him.

'Check her blood to be sure, but I'm always right.' House told him before hanging up.

'Test the blood for rat poison.' Foreman told Taub. 'I'll start treatment.'

'Someone was poisoning Cuddy's kid? Who would do such a thing?' Chase asked.

Foreman shrugged. 'Whoever did this, better start running cause House is going to kill them.' he said then walked out to get Rachel's treatment going.

Meanwhile:

'Thanks Marina, you helped a lot.' House said.

'Am I going to be in trouble?' Marina asked.

House shook his head. 'Don't worry! I expect you to babysit Rachel as soon as she's home.' House told her before turning and walking to his car.

As soon as he was inside he started the engine then he grabbed his phone and dialed Cuddy's number.


Cuddy got of the phone just as Foreman walked in.

'We know what's wrong with her.' Foreman told her.

'I know, House just called me.' she replied.

'How long before she'll be fine?' Cuddy asked.

As Foreman changed the IV's he said 'there should be a progress in about 2 hours. She'll be awake by the evening.'

'Good.' Cuddy replied and waited till Foreman had finished.


She watched him leave before taking her cell phone and calling someone.

House was at the police station talking to a cop about what he had found out.

'Are you sure?' the cop asked him.

'Yes, I have someone who can confirm it.' House told the cop.

'Well we do know him, he has a reputation around here.' the cop said.

'If we get him to confess can you arrest him?' House asked.

'If we get a full confession, then yes.'

'Great!' House told him. 'Let's go then.'


He walked into the hospital, a smug smile on his face. It had been 2 weeks now, and he was happy she had finally called him. He had been surprised, as he thought it would have taken longer then two weeks, but the man was old so it have have happened faster. Anyway, he was happy. She was going to be his again, he was sure of it.


'So, any progress?' House walked into Rachel's room with the cop behind him.

His team was was checking the girl out. She hadn't woken up yet, but they had taken her of the ventilator as she was breathing on her own again.

'Everything seems fine.' Foreman assured him, looking at the cop. 'You found out who did this to her?' he asked.

'Well, we'll need a confession, but I'm pretty sure we'll get whoever did this to confess pretty fast.' House said sounding rather confident.

'How are you going to …' Chase started but was cut off by House.

'Don't you worry about that!' House said. 'You take care of Rachel till either Cuddy or I can be here. So one of you needs to be here with her at any time. Got it?'

The team just nodded.

'Good, now if she wakes up before we're here, page me.' House told them then walked out of the room, the cop once again following him.


He gently knocked on her door and waited for her reply. She had her chair with with it's back turned towards the door so he couldn't see her face. But he knew she was there cause she straightened herself when she heard his knock.

Cuddy quickly checked herself in her little pocket mirror.

'Good thing eyedrops exist and make it look like I cried.' she thought before she put the mirror into her pocket.

She didn't turn her chair around but told the person at the door to come in. She heard the door open and close and turned her chair around.


'Dr. House, are you sure this is going to work?' the cop asked him.

They were waiting in the clinic looking at Cuddy's office.

'Sure it will.' House replied sucking on a red lollipop.

He pulled it out of his mouth and looked at it, then quickly threw it into the garbage. He didn't like those anymore.

'My girlfriend is a very good actress.' House continued. 'And if it doesn't work I'll get him to confess.'


'Lucas.' Cuddy said and started sobbing.

Well at least she pretended to be sobbing. It was an act after all.

'Oh Lisa.' he said and walked closer to her.

Cuddy remained seated. She didn't want Lucas to come any closer or touch her in any way.

'I'm sorry.' she said. 'I didn't know who else to call.'

'It's okay.' Lucas quietly told her and kneeled down in front of her.

'House …' she started but was cut off by Lucas' fingers on her lips.

'Shh…' he said. 'I'm sorry Lisa but I knew that was going to happen. House just wanted you cause you were happy with me."

Cuddy had to swallow her words and bite her tongue. Did that bastard really think that House had left her? He was just to easy.

She frowned. 'God I should have been an actress.' she thought before she pushed him away from her.

'Yes I know.' she told him 'Please House forgive me for lying like that.' she thought.

'And now Rachel is sick and I …' Lucas stopped her. 'Wait! Rachel is sick?' he asked.

She nodded and wiped her eyes. 'Yes. House's team is working on her. They found out she was poisoned.'

Lucas swallowed. 'She was poisoned?' he asked again.

Cuddy nodded again.

'That's low, even for House!' Lucas told her.

Cuddy really felt like hitting that bastard now.

'Look we don't know who …' she started but Lucas stopped her again.

'He never liked Rachel, Lisa. He only wanted you!' Lucas firmly told her.

Cuddy wiped her eyes again. Her fists were balled up, ready to punch him. He was lucky his phone started ringing. He stood up and answered it, then apologetically looked at her.

'I have to go.' he said.

Cuddy let out a sigh off relief, which he took as disappointment.

'I'll be back later.'

Cuddy nodded and watched him walk out.

She shuddered and was relieved he was gone.


Lucas was smiling but his smile turned int a grin when he saw House in the clinic. House had seen him coming so he pretended to be busy with reading a file.

'Well well House.' Lucas said as he stopped in front of House. 'Looks like you screwed up again.'

House looked up from the file. 'Lucas.' was all he said.

'Really mature of you to leave her with a sick child.' Lucas kept going. 'Now you know Rachel wouldn't be sick if you had taken better care of her and didn't feed her candy. I mean I know you like red lollipops and Cuddy would never feed her candy so it wasn't very smart of you to give her the lollipops that were actually meant for you!'

House looked at Lucas. His frown turned into a grin.

'You find this funny House?' Lucas asked him. 'You're even more screwed up then I thought you were.'

House just kept grinning. 'Did that sound like a confession to you officer?' House asked the cop that had walked up towards them.

'Yes it does Dr. House. That and the statement of the babysitter will be enough!' The cop said.

Lucas quickly spun around, facing the cop.

'Mr. Douglas. I arrest you for the attempt of murder on a toddler. You have the right to remain silent, …' the cop kept on reading his Miranda rights.

House was still grinning when he heard his girlfriend.

'You son of a bitch!' Cuddy yelled and started running towards Lucas.

She pulled back her arm and punched him square in the face.

Lucas staggered back and fell into the cop.

Ignoring the pain in her hand she kept yelling. 'You almost killed Rachel. You almost killed her and you tried to blame House.'

House gently touched her shoulders.

'Cuddy it's okay.' he started.

'No!' Cuddy yelled. 'It's not okay House. He almost killed our baby and he tried to blame you.' she told him, then shrugged of his hands and walked away.

House's pager when off. He looked at it, then at Lucas. He nodded to the cop who nodded back at him then walked off.


He walked into Rachel's room.

Chase looked up as he walked towards the bed.

'What is it?' House asked.

'She's waking up.' Chase told him. 'So what was the cop here for?' he asked.

House sat down in a chair next to Rachel's bed.

'He was here to arrest the bastard who did this.' he told Chase as he picked up the girls hand in his own.

"Wait, you got him?' Chase asked.

House nodded. 'Did you page Cuddy?' He asked and looked at Chase.

'Yes I did. Now tell. what kind of psycho does this?' Chase asked again.

'It was Lucas.' House told him and focussed back on the little girl.

'Wait, what? Lucas as in Cuddy's ex-boyfriend?'

House turned to Chase and gave him a 'Well-duh' look.

'Why would he want to do that?' Chase questioned.

'He wasn't trying to poison Rachel you idiot! It was meant for me!' House told him.

'Oh.' Was Chase's reply. Before he could say anything else, the door opened and Cuddy walked into the room.

Chase quickly stood up and excused himself.

House looked at Cuddy. She had her hand in a cast.

'How bad is it?' he asked her as she sat down and slumped in the chair.

'It's broken.' she told him then looked up at him.

House gently smiled at her and moved his free hand towards her jaw and gently cupped it.

'That was really hot!' he told her and she let out a chuckle before he quickly covered her lips with his for a sweet gentle kiss.

They smiled at each other when they broke apart and then looked at Rachel who was staring at the both of them.

Cuddy let out at sob as she noticed her little girl was awake.

'Why are you crying mommy?' Rachel asked her, with the innocence only a child has.

Cuddy quickly wiped her eyes then smiled at her daughter.

'Mommy's just happy sweetie.' she told her little girl.

The girl just smiled and looked from Cuddy to House. House smiled back at her.

'How are you feeling?' He asked the girl.

'I'm good.' Rachel told him with a big smile.

'Are you in any pain?' House asked.

Rachel shook her head. 'No Hows I hurt no more.' she told him.

House nodded at her. 'Good.' He gently squeezed her hand.

With his free hand he pulled Cuddy into him and hugged her close.

'I'm hungry mommy!' The toddler broke the silence and House let out a loud laugh.

'I'll go get you some real food.' He said as he kissed Cuddy on the head and got up.

'Any requests young lady?' House asked Rachel who shook her head.

'Bring her something healthy.' Cuddy told him.

House just rolled his eyes and left the room.


Cuddy had turned on the tv and her and Rachel were currently watching some cartoons.

'Mommy?' Rachel asked.

'Yes sweetie?' Cuddy replied and looked at her.

'Hows save me?' she asked.

'Yes he did honey!' Cuddy told her.

Rachel turned back to the cartoons.

'Mommy?' she asked again after a few seconds of watching.

'Yes sweetie?' Cuddy adressed her.

'Can House be my daddy?' she asked Cuddy with big pleading eyes.

Cuddy did not know how to respond to that one. At the same time she heard a thud coming at the door. She turned around and saw House standing there looking utterly shocked, bag of food at his feet.
