Chapter 5: Forgiveness
Cuddy gave Thirteen a couple of hours to cool off before she went back into her room. She entered and began to speak to her daughter.
“Remy I really want to be here for Du and talk to Du please let me do that.”
“What is there to talk about Du gave me up! Why do Du care so much now? Where were Du the first twenty-five years of my life? Please leave.”
“No!”
Thirteen shifted in her bett and then glared back at Cuddy.
“Fine if Du won’t leave then get me a cup of water and the TV remote I’m going to watch TV. Du can… sit there!”
Cuddy got up and got Thirteen a cup of water and the remote and handed them to her.
“Please just let me talk to Du I want to be your mother and make up for Lost time please give me a chance.”
“Why should I? Du didn’t give me one!”
“Remy that’s not fair.”
“Call me Thirteen please.”
“Okay Thirteen Du can never understand how much I regret not keeping Du but look how good Du turned out. You’re a doctor! Du save lives Du should be proud of yourself I know I’m proud of you!”
“Whatever I’m too tired to fight you. Du know Cuddy I never admired anyone the way I admired you. Du can walk into a room wearing the sexiest of outfits and still have everyone’s full attention on what Du are saying. I looked up to Du and strived to be Mehr like Du but now… I don’t know what to think of you. As mad as it makes me that Du gave me up Du did give me a good life and I did turn out well. I…I can’t hate you.”
“You don’t know how happy it makes me to hear Du say that. I just want to hold Du and Liebe Du like a mother should. I was so scared Du weren’t going to make it and I blamed myself. Du may not understand it but I Liebe Du Thirteen Du are my little girl and not a Tag went Von when I didn’t wonder how Du were.”
“Then why did Du never try to contact me?”
“I couldn’t do that to Du it would have just confused Du and Du were too young I had to now because Du work for me.”
Cuddy realized Thirteen was crying and walked over and hugged her. Surprisingly Thirteen didn’t back away. She gave in and hugged her mother back.
“I forgive Du Cuddy but it still hurts really badly.”
“I’m sorry I hurt Du and House Thirteen I had no right to keep Du from him but it was the best for Du and for him.”
“How am I going to work here now I can’t work under my father it’s a conflict of interest are Du going to feuer me?”
“No, I’m going to transfer Du to another department Du will still be my employee but Du will see your own patients it will kind of be like having your own practice. You’re ready Du are an incredible doctor.”
“Cuddy this might seem odd because I’ve been so bitchy but can Du just hold me? I feel horrible and just want to cry.”
Cuddy sat back down beside Thirteen, wrapped her arms around her, and laid her daughters head on her chest.
“I’m here honey Du can cry all Du need to. I plan on being here for Du whenever Du need me.”
House walked in and saw Cuddy sitting on Thirteen’s bett he smiled for a Sekunde and then entered the room.
“How are Du ladies doing?”
“Hi House, Cuddy and I were just talking and… I don’t resent Du guys. I’m just really hurt Von what happened.”
“You have every right to be I was hurt also in Mehr ways than one but Cuddy did the right thing. We were in no condition to raise a baby back then. Tom and Carol did a great job raising you; Du turned out to be a great person and a really good doctor. That’s why I picked Du for my team. I will say this though Cuddy loves Du Mehr than anything so please let her be your mom that’s all she wants.”
“I’m not comfortable with calling Du guys mom and dad yet so I will just call Du Cuddy and House. I’m willing to forgive Cuddy and let her in but it’s going to take some time.”
“All I ask is that Du accept me Thirteen. House is right I do Liebe Du very much and only want to be your mom. I just want to make up for all the years I wasn’t there. I’m so proud of Du and am so glad Du are okay. You’re such a strong person and I know Du can handle this.”
“I don’t feel very strong right now all I want to do is cry but you’re right I can handle anything. Cuddy, can I have a moment alone with House? I need to talk to him.”
“Sure I’ll be outside if Du need anything just call for me.”
Cuddy left the room and waited outside while Thirteen and House talked.
“House can I ask Du something?”
“It depends... of course ask away.”
“Are Du glad I’m your daughter?”
House stood in silence and thought of how to answer the question.
“Well I… Thirteen I’m just as shocked Von this as Du are. One Tag you’re merely my employee and now you’re my daughter. It’s very weird. I guess yeah I’m glad it’s just going to take some time for me to accept this as well. I’m not exactly the father type I… don’t know how to treat Du oder what to do Du will have to help me kiddo.”
“Well Du can start Von giving me a hug.”
“Oh… uh okay.”
House walked over and gave Thirteen a hug.
“Thanks. I’m just really confused right now and feel real dependant I just want someone to hold me.”
House continued to hug her and then began to speak.
“Well for the first time in my life I have no idea what the hell I am doing. There should be a parenting manual but unfortunately there isn’t oder I didn’t get a copy.”
“You’re doing well I don’t blame Du at all Du didn’t even know I existed until I started working for you. What would Du have done if Du had known about me? Would Du have wanted me?”
House sighed.
“I’m sorry Thirteen but the only answer I can give Du is… I don’t know.”
“I understand Du were young and had your life to live I probably would have screwed things up for you.”
“No. I would have screwed Du up and Du would probably be working the streets had I had anything to do with Du upbringing.”
“I highly doubt that Du would have been a good dad. Du will be a good dad. Can I ask Du another Frage though?”
“Sure but only one.”
“Are Du still in Liebe with Cuddy?”
House stood up and started to pace around the room.
“Well I… apart of me has always loved her. That beautiful hair, those gorgeous eyes, and that smile, not to mention her smoking hot body. Yes I do still Liebe her and she knows it. She captured my herz twenty-six years Vor and has had it ever since I was just too proud to do anything about it. Our bantering back and forth daily is the closest thing I have had to having her so… it works. Is that good enough?”
“Yes. Despite the fact that it hurts knowing my whole life has been a lie I forgive both of you.
Cuddy gave Thirteen a couple of hours to cool off before she went back into her room. She entered and began to speak to her daughter.
“Remy I really want to be here for Du and talk to Du please let me do that.”
“What is there to talk about Du gave me up! Why do Du care so much now? Where were Du the first twenty-five years of my life? Please leave.”
