Duck…Duck…Duck...
Here we are chapter 4! I’ve been getting a lot of story alerts but not many reviews so if آپ are reading my chapters please please please REVIEW. I would love to hear anything آپ have to say whether its thoughts, concerns, criticism…I’m writing this for you! Enjoy!
“Morning Dad,” Rachel کہا as she put her pop tarts in the toaster. She watched her Dad out of the corner of her eye. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s 7 in the morning that’s what’s wrong” House grumbled as he opened the refrigerator door.
“Where’s Mom?”Rachel frowned and looked around. “Normally she’s down here…”
“She went into work early” House interrupted gruffly. Rachel stopped and looked over at her father. Sensing something wrong she got her breakfast out of the ٹوسٹر and turned to her father after taking a bite. “Amber and I are going to go over to Emily’s after school today.”
“Ok. When will آپ be home?”
“I don’t know probably after رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا time.”
House stopped and looked at her. “You know, you’ve been acting funny the past couple days. Why is Amber going with you? Are آپ really going to Emily’s?”
“I have to work on a school project and I thought Amber could help.” Rachel shrugged. “Can we go یا not?”
House raised an eyebrow. “Alright. Whatever. Make sure your phone is on آپ یا your mom will freak out.”
“Yes sir,” Rachel کہا and walked out.
House groaned and put his hand on his back. “Yeah. ‘Sir…’

Rachel and Amber sat down on the bus. “So how long is this going to take exactly?” Amber asked as she popped her bubble gum.
“I told Dad that we would probably be back سے طرف کی رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا time. It’s three thirty now. I’d say that we will only have an گھنٹہ with Doctors Cameron and Chase before we are going to have to get back on the bus.”
“That’s not a lot of time…”Amber کہا and smacked her gum again. An old woman looked over at the girls, annoyed.
“Well it’s going to have to be. We don’t even know if these two will give us any information! They may not remember our parents at all…”
“Fat chance.” Amber popped her gum again. “They’re really weird.”
“YOU’RE really weird,” Rachel said.
Amber popped her gum even louder in Rachel’s face who merely stuck out her tongue and turned to look back out the window.
“Don’t آپ girls need to be in school?” The old lady across the aisle asked.
“It was already let out. We are visiting our grandma in Upper Jersey” Amber کہا nonchalantly. She put her feet up on the seat. Rachel smacked them down.
The old lady sighed and made an annoyed noise but didn’t say anything else.
An گھنٹہ later the girls got off the bus in Lakewood and looked around at their surroundings. Rachel looked down at the paper with the scribbled address. “It looks like it’s only a couple blocks up from here. We don’t have much time come on.”
“What if they aren’t there?” Amber asked, running a little bit to keep up with her sister’s longer strides.
“Then we leave a note and turn around to go back” Rachel responded.
“Well they may never respond to us” Amber said.
Rachel stopped in her tracks and looked at her sister. “I thought that I was the one that was supposed to be freaking out here!”
Amber didn’t say anything but just kept walking on ahead and Rachel sighed, following her. A couple منٹ later she grabbed her sister’s arm. “Stop!”
Amber halted and looked to see where Rachel was pointing. It was a townhouse with a red door and blue shutters. They walked up the door. Rachel looked at Amber who nodded. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
There was the sound of yells and running feet. A couple سیکنڈ later a door opened and a boy with blonde hair opened the door. “Who are you?”
“Umm…my name is Rachel and this is Amber….” Rachel started.
“Ohhhhh….you must be here for Jessica. Jessica!!!” The boy turned around and yelled into the house.
“What?!”
“There are دوستوں here for you!”
“No. No!” Amber said. “We are here to see your parents are they home?”
“Rowan? What’s going on who is at the door?” A blonde woman came to the door with a toddler boy in her arms. “Are آپ here for Jessica?”
“No ma’am we are here to talk to you. Are آپ Allison Cameron?” Rachel asked.
Cameron frowned. “Yes. Umm…why are آپ here? Is there a problem?”
“My name is Rachel Cuddy and this is my sister Amber. We wanted to talk to you.”
Cameron paused for a moment. “As in...Rachel Cuddy, the daughter of Lisa Cuddy?”
“Yes,” Amber cut in. “We really need to talk to آپ it’s important may we come in?”
Cameron pulled the door open and let the girls in.
MD
“So…let me get this straight…you took the bus from Princeton to come and talk to me about your parents?” Cameron sat down on a chair across from Rachel and Amber who were seated uncomfortably on the couch.
“Yes. Our parents are fighting. We think that they may be splitting up,” Amber replied.
“We thought maybe آپ could tell us about them and how they got together,” Rachel finished.
Cameron sighed, crossed her arms, and leaned back against the chair. “I can’t believe this…after ten years. I’m surprised that they stayed together this long!”
Rachel and Amber exchanged a glance. “What do آپ mean?” Rachel said.
“Those two were always fighting…I remember when House hired me the first دن Cuddy came سے طرف کی his room and they started yelling. Then she left and he came back inside like nothing happened. A couple hours later, we had to follow him to her office. He made a تبصرہ about her appearance….”
“What?” Amber asked. “Dad didn’t like the way Mom looked?”
Cameron laughed. “Are آپ kidding? Your Dad thought your Mom was hotter than Megan Fox!”
“I don’t think that he thinks that anymore. At least…Mom complains he doesn’t” Rachel کہا a little sadly.
Cameron sat آگے on her knees. “Well help him remember then. Remind him that Cuddy is a beautiful woman. That could help.”
“But I’m confused. Why were they always fighting if they loved each other?” Amber said. “You کہا they were fighting. They really didn’t fight much when we were little.”
“House and Cuddy are two very alike people,” Cameron stood up, crossed her arms, and began pacing. “The two of them…they both like power. They both like to be in control. They are equals. They generally fought only when that balance was disrupted.”
Amber and Rachel, newly confused, looked back over at Cameron. “I don’t really know…” Rachel started.
“Both of آپ are way too young to remember, but the way your parents communicated was through fighting. Are آپ sure that that’s not what they’re doing?”
“They aren’t just fighting to fight. We are used to that it’s normal,” Amber کہا smartly. “But within the past couple of months they’ve started fighting over us, over appearances, and who is paying attention to who, getting married... They never used to do that.”
Suddenly the door opened and shut and a man’s accented voice rang through the house. “Allison? I’m home! Geez that surgery took six hours I’m exhausted! Do آپ think آپ could…?” Chase walked into the room and stopped. “What’s going on?”
“You’re just in time,” Cameron کہا as she sat back down. “I was just having a discussion with Rachel Cuddy and Amber House.”
MD
“So…let me get this straight,” Chase started. “You two drove out here to talk to two strangers about your parents.”
Amber and Rachel nodded and Chase shook his head. “Well they’re definitely House and Cuddy’s children. آپ guys are crazy! We could have molested you!”
“Robert!” Cameron smacked his arm. “Don’t scare them.”
“Look girls, I don’t know what آپ came here for but I don’t think it’s a good idea that آپ are here. It’s getting late and you’re parents will be worried. Do they even know you’re here?”
Rachel hung her head. “No. They think that we are at our friend Emily’s house.” She picked her head back up. “But PLEASE don’t tell! They’ll kill us! And we are just trying to help!”
“Please. We owe them that,” Cameron begged of her husband.
“We don’t owe them anything,” Chase responded. “House was nothing but an arrogant…ignoramus” he corrected himself. “And Cuddy defended him to the death. The stuff he got away with…” he trailed off.
“Like what?” Amber asked eagerly.
Chase sat back down. “House basically runs Princeton. He can do what he wants, runs the tests that he wants…he has had numerous law suits filed against him and Cuddy always let him get away with it.”
“Dad does say some nasty stuff sometimes. But I know that he doesn’t mean it!” Rachel protested. “Mom has کہا some nasty stuff to him too!”
Chase let out a little humph and leaned back in his chair.
“You guys will have to excuse him he’s gotten old a little early…” Cameron shot him a look. “I think that what آپ girls need to do is remind them of how they first met.”
“Well can آپ help us?” Amber asked.
“They met before House was hired at the hospital” Cameron said. “They met in Michigan at college when your mom was around twenty and your dad around twenty five. Unfortunately, I never heard that story.”
“If آپ do let me in on it” Chase کہا sarcastically and stood up. “Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go get some sleep.” He stalked out of the room and Cameron looked at the girls a little apologetically. “House and Robert never really got along.”
“I can tell” Rachel کہا under her breath. She pulled the phone out and saw that it read six. “Shit!” She stood up and shouted and then clasped a hand to her mouth.
Amber looked up at her. “Hey! Language!”
“I’m sorry but we really need to go like now! The bus is supposed to come…oh geez if we missed it…” she grabbed her sister’s arm and started towards the door.
“Wait! Wait!” Cameron called and she scribbled a bunch of stuff on a little slip of paper. “I hope this helps you. And this has my cell phone number on it. Please call me if آپ need anything else. I’m sorry آپ couldn’t stay longer.”
“Thank you” Rachel and Amber shouted as they tore down the block. The bus was pulling away, and the girls had to race down the sidewalk and pound on the doors for the driver to let them in.
“We really need to learn to keep better time!” Amber puffed as they climbed in.

“Hey Lisa how are آپ feeling today?” Amy walked into Cuddy’s office and sat down.
“What do آپ think?” Cuddy said, a little مزید nastily then intended. She looked, and felt, exhausted.
Amy sighed and sat down in a chair across from her desk. “I’m thinking that آپ feel like shit. Is my guess correct?”
Cuddy کہا nothing and turned back to her computer.
“Lisa I know that آپ want to be alone right now but I don’t think that آپ should be. آپ should talk about…”
“I don’t want to!” Cuddy’s voice cracked. She stopped and went back to the screen. “The last couple times I’ve tried to talk about it…with آپ یا Wilson یا him… things just get worse,” she کہا quietly.
“Why don’t آپ guys go to a couples counseling?” Amy suggested.
“Yeah. Like he would agree to that,” Cuddy answered.
“Well I’m really worried about آپ Lisa. آپ can’t come and crash at our place for the rest of the week. And آپ would have to tell the girls. That would upset them! They would…”
“I KNOW!” Cuddy shoved her computer screen aside. “Don’t آپ think I know?”
Amy took a deep breath and looked down. “Okay. آپ can come to our house again tonight if آپ need to.” She got up and opened the door to the office.
“Amy.” She stopped and turned around to face Cuddy who had stood up and walked over to her. “Thank you. I really am thankful for your friendship.”
Amy smiled. “I know آپ are. آپ two can make it through this I know آپ can.”
Cuddy sighed. “I hope so. I really truly hope so.”

Wilson waltzed into House’s office. “So…..”
House looked up at Wilson and then back down at his file. “Ok آپ got me. So….what?”
“So we had an unexpected guest spend the night last night.” Wilson finished.
“Oh really? And who was that?” House کہا sarcastically.
“House, deflecting this…”
“I’m not deflecting!” House threw his hands in the air.
“Ok. Ok.” Wilson put his hands up too and took a نشست across from his best friend. “The سوال is what آپ are going to do about it.”
“I don’t know,” House کہا after a couple of seconds. What scared Wilson was the dejected tone of voice that his friend used.
“Did آپ guys at least try talking? Without fighting?” Wilson asked.
“Yes! It didn’t work! We just started fighting again!”
“Are آپ two going to separate?”
“None of your business! Now get out!” House said.
“But I…”
“I کہا get OUT!” House yelled and he put his head in his hands. Wilson got up slowly and walked out of the door, turning to look at his sad friend on the way out.
MD
“Its seven o clock where the hell were you?!” House کہا as they walked in.
“We were at Emily’s! آپ could have called us آپ know” Amber responded.
“Yeah well….” House started. “Why do آپ smell like the bus?” He crossed his arms.
Rachel and Amber exchanged a glance and Amber sighed. “Emily’s mom couldn’t bring us ہوم so we rode ہوم on the bus.”
House کہا nothing and walked into the other room. “Where’s Mom?” Amber asked.
“At work” House responded.
“She’s been at work all دن when is she coming home?” Rachel asked again.
“I don’t know.”
Rachel and Amber followed their father into the other room. “WHAT is going on Dad?” Amber reiterated. “Where is Mom? What is going on?”
“She’s staying at Wilson’s.”
Amber took a deep breath and grabbed onto her sisters arm because tears had welled up in Rachel’s eyes. “How long?”
House turned to his daughters. “I…I don’t know. I’m…sorry,” he looked sorry but they didn’t wait to find out. They tore up the steps and into Rachel’s room. Amber slammed the door and leaned against it as Rachel sat down on the بستر with her head in her hands.
“Don’t start crying now” Amber said. “We have to keep going. It’s not looking good.”
“We didn’t accomplish anything!” Rachel wailed.
“Yes we did! Give me that slip of paper!” Rachel pulled the paper out of her jeans and handed it to her.
Amber looked at it. “Look what Dr. Cameron put. Number one, make House remember that Cuddy is gorgeous. Number two, re-make how they met. Those are two really good ideas!”
“And how are we supposed to find out how they met?” Rachel said. “We don’t have the means of doing that!”
“That’s why we keep looking and don’t give up!” Amber said. “They are sad without each other.”
“Well did Cameron put anything else on that paper?” Rachel کہا and sniffed. She wiped her nose on her sleeve.
“No! Look.” She handed it to Rachel who made a face at her sister. “She wrote another number on this paper smart one. Look it says…Eric something cell. Type it in on the computer.”
Amber walked over and pulled up her mother’s files and typed it in. “Look at this! Eric Foreman…it popped right up. Looks like he was also a member of the team!”
“The same one as Doctors Chase and Cameron” Rachel said. She looked over at her sister. “He might have something else that can help us!”
“Well call him! Quick!” Amber کہا and handed her sister the cell phone. Rachel dialed the number and hit the speaker button.
“Hello?” A deep man’s voice answered.
“Hello?” Rachel said, surprised. She looked over at her sister, shocked, and Amber merely shrugged, just as shocked.
“Hello? Who is this?” Foreman’s voice came through again.
“Umm hi. This is uhh Rachel Cuddy. Are آپ Eric Foreman?”
There was a pause. “Lisa Cuddy’s Rachel?”
“Yes.” Rachel waited for a few مزید سیکنڈ and bit her lip nervously.
“Is there something wrong?” The voice came back through.
“No but…”
“Then please don’t call again. Bye.”
“No! No wait! Dr. Foreman please we need your help! It’s really important it’s about our parents!”
“Are they in trouble?”
“Yes! Can آپ help us? We really want to talk to you.”
There was a sigh. “Alright. What do آپ need?”
I hope that آپ enjoyed the new chapter! I know I kind of left it hanging but آپ know I love doing that :p

“Hello?” Rachel said, surprised. She looked over at her sister, shocked, and Amber merely shrugged, just as shocked.
“Hello? Who is this?” Foreman’s voice came through again.
“Umm hi. This is uhh Rachel Cuddy. Are آپ Eric Foreman?”
There was a pause. “Lisa Cuddy’s Rachel?”
“Yes.” Rachel waited for a few مزید سیکنڈ and bit her lip nervously.
“Is there something wrong?” The voice came back through.
“No but…”
“Then please don’t call again. Bye.”
“No! No wait! Dr. Foreman please we need your help! It’s really important it’s about our parents!”
“Are they in trouble?”
“Yes! Can آپ help us? We really want to talk to you.”
There was a sigh. “Alright. What do آپ need?”
