It was three in the afternoon, still early. House and Cuddy walked into her house, laying her luggage on the floor.
"There آپ go."
"This was fun."
"Sure, I'll see آپ later."
She gave him a kiss goodbye, lingering longer than he expected. After, he just gave a smirk and left.

"PAY UP."
House was waving his hand in Wilson's face, waiting for the سیکنڈ hundred he owed him. So he took out his wallet grabbed another hundred and slapped it in House's hand.
"So when she call you?"
"Around seven. She told me the story first and then thanked me."
"For which?"
Wilson just looked at him.
"Did she thank Babysitter Wilson یا Matchmaker Wilson?"
"Babysitter Wilson."
"Well then, I'll thank Matchmaker Wilson."
"You're welcome. I can't believe آپ took her back to U of M."
"Best place I thought of. Trust me, any other dates will be less expensive on my part."
"She really enjoyed herself though."
"What'd I tell you?"
"She told me some of the stuff آپ did."
"Did she put in all the good details?" He asked sarcastically.
"House. She's right. آپ could've easily overdosed on that morphine. And the pool thing? آپ could've fallen down somewhere, drowned. آپ don't know the accident."
"I knew what I was doing. I was sober and clean. And I wouldn't overdose. The only thing I overdose on is vic--"
"House. Big picture."
"Help me understand daddy, because apparently I don't understand یا know what I'm doing."
"You know I didn't mean it like that."
"I know. But آپ are saying something."
"Be careful. With her, آپ become even مزید reckless. آپ forget things."
He just rolled his eyes and walked right out of Wilson's office. Wilson just stayed behind and sighed, saying under his breath,
"Don't say I didn't warn you."

House was walking back to his office when he ran into Cameron on the way. She started badgering him about Cuddy.
"Since when did آپ start dating her?"
"Who کہا I'm dating her?"
"Wilson told me--"
"He's lying."
"No--He isn't. He کہا آپ two spent the weekend together? آپ went up to Michigan and everything? Plus I saw آپ two come in together this morning."
"Have آپ been stalking me?" House exclaimed with sarcasm.
"No--I was looking for آپ on Saturday and Sunday. I was looking for آپ again today and--"
"Well, we're not dating so."
House pushed open the door to his office, kicking back in his chair twisting left and right as Cameron continued questioning him.
"Shouldn't آپ be stitching stitches, یا slapping gauze on patients یا something else away from my office? I am busy آپ know."
And he opened a bottle of vicodin, threw one in the air and caught it in his mouth. He just smiled at her. She rolled her eyes and went for the door and then said,
"Told آپ it was going to happen sooner یا later."
She left without waiting for a response from him with her hands in her scrub pockets, going back to the ER leaving House on his own. But not for long. منٹ after she had left, Chase came in.
"Your girlfriend already did this. Just grab the info from her."
"I don't have much to say."
"I don't care."
"Watch yourself."
House looked up from his desk, curious and a little shocked at his retort.
"You don't want to go screwing around with the Dean. Sometimes, relationships, together یا not, it changes a persons perception on certain things. Trust me, I've been there. Don't screw with her emotions, otherwise, this hospital will come crumbling down. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for her sake, and for the hospital and the many hard working staff here."
"How do آپ know she'll be the victim?"
"You're an arrogant son of a bitch. What else am I supposed to expect out of you? You're the دل breaker in this relationship scenario."
He began walking to the door until House said,
"You wanna bet?"
He didn't turn around, but he stopped at the door, pausing for a few سیکنڈ then leaving.

Wilson was busy doing his work, stressing over some of his patients when Cuddy came in.
"Little busy."
"Oh-kay," and she turned right back around but Wilson looked up in shock and stopped her before she could even open the door.
"What was that?"
"Nothing--"
"Just tell me what's wrong."
"Did آپ talk to him?"
"Yes, and he ignored my advice. As always, seriously what's up?"
"The longer I'm with him, یا whenever I'm around him, he's oblivious to some things.."
"You've just noticed?"
"It's worse than آپ think."
"How so?"
"The whole weekend, we went unprotected. I was off the pill and I'm pretty sure we didn't use--"
"I gotcha, don't need those details. But, wait. Are آپ saying you're pregnant?!?"
"No! I took care of that when I got home. I realized it when we were coming home. The small important details, are being dismissed."
"Huh."
"Feedback would be nice آپ know."
"Have آپ considered he maybe wanted to go unprotected? I mean, he wants kids. You. Maybe it was all a charade to hide the real truth. Maybe, he wanted to manipulate آپ into marrying him--"
Wilson burst into laughter and tears even before he could finish the sentence. He was wiping his eyes and calming himself after Cuddy had thrown him a look.
"I'm sorry. I just couldn't even finish that without laughing. But, look, House is fine okay? I know him."
"I've known him longer."
"But I just know him. We're practically brothers. He's not going to do-something stupid. Yeah he's reckless and irresponsible but for some things, he knows what he's doing."
Cuddy gave a "yeah right" sigh, and left without another word. Wilson sat down and tried continuing with his work but he just couldn't. He put everything down and began to rub his face. He believed nothing from what he said, hiding the fact that he knew she might have been right. But being Wilson, he forced himself to believe otherwise, for Cuddy's sake, hoping House really wasn't changing, hoping he himself was wrong, hoping it was just a small dip in the road.
"There آپ go."
"This was fun."
"Sure, I'll see آپ later."
She gave him a kiss goodbye, lingering longer than he expected. After, he just gave a smirk and left.
