House and Cuddy pick up Rachel, the little girl seems to have had fun with Wilson and Kate. Wilson looks at his two friends, they seem relaxed and to be on good terms.
-Mommy! House! I ate a big ice-scream and I play with Uncle Wilson and Kate.
-That’s great, Rachel, Cuddy says and takes the little girl in her arms. Now House will drive us to Doctor MacEnzie, we’re gonna live there for two days and then we’ll Bewegen in our new apartment.
-No! I want House! I want to play with Dad! I want to watch the pirate cartoon with Dad! Rachel Antworten stubborn.
-Rachel, House has to work, maybe Du can play with him tomorrow, Cuddy says to the little girl.
-No! Why can’t we go to House? He promised to play with me!
Cuddy looks at House, he nods and she doesn’t know what to say.
-Listen to me, little pirate, House says. My apartment is too small, Du can’t come to me, that’s why Du and mommy are going to Doctor MacEnzie, he has a big house with a garden where Du can play.
-No. Du have a bed, don’t you? Rachel Antworten mischievously.
-Heu, yes, House Antwort caught off guard.
-And a couch in your living-room?
-Yes, House Antwort with a smile. He got it, he knows why Rachel asks this.
-So mommy sleeps with Du in your bett and I sleep on the couch, the little girl says very proud of her. Cuddy looks amazed and embarrassed, House, Wilson and Kate burst out of laugh.
-There’s a little problem in your plan, little pirate, Antworten House and scratches the back of his head. Uncle Wilson sleeps already in my couch.
-Oh, Rachel says disappointed and sad. Can’t he go to Kate and sleep with her?
Cuddy looks embarrassed at Wilson who blushes, Kate and House laugh.
-Rachel, Cuddy says, squats and puts her hands on the shoulders of the little girl. It’s only for two days and tomorrow evening House invites us to the restaurant, so Du can see him…
-But I want to play with Dad! He promised!
-Ok, Cuddy, maybe I can take Du first to MacEnzie and take Rachel to me for an Stunde to play with her like I promised, and then I’ll drive her to MacEnzie. What do Du think of it? House asks.
-Well, I don’t know…
-Oh, yes! Yes! Yes! Mommy, please, Rachel says and jumps around her mother.
House stares at Cuddy, he can see that she weighs up the pros and the cons, then she looks at House, she’d like to be with him too, she’d like him to drive her to his apartment too, she’d like him to wickeln, wickeln sie his arms around her, she’d like to spend the night with him, she needs him, she needs his touch, his caress, she’d like him to make Liebe to her… House can read her thoughts so obvious they are in her grey eyes, he’d like to have her Von his sides this night too, but … and she’s a little scared to be alone with this guy, even if it’s for an hour. House seemed to worry about her because of him… But Rachel seems so happy to be with him, to have him for her alone without Cuddy.
-Ok, let’s do that. Rachel, be a good girl with House, listen to him, ok?
-Yes! Ok, Dad, let’s go!
House drives Cuddy to MacEnzie, he can feel that she’s tense. She’s Lost in her thoughts, she tries to think of the Weiter Tag when she’s gonna meet all the staff of the hospital, she tries to concentrate on her speech, on what she’s gonna tell them… but it’s really hard, her mind always comes back to House, to her feelings for him… she hopes that they’ll get soon over their past relationship, she hopes that they’ll soon find their way back to each other, that they’ll forgive each other and start a new life, together. Despite all the horrible things he’s done to her, despite her bitchy behavior, she knows he’s the one for her, she knows that she’ll never find a better man for her and Rachel, she’s ready to try again, to give him another chance because as the song says For worse oder for better, they’re better together.
-Here we are, House says suddenly and parks the car in front of a big house. He looks at Cuddy and his herz squeezes, she seems so strong and so fragile at the same time. He has to resist the temptation to take her in his arms. Cuddy…
-Yes?
-If Du don’t want to go to MacEnzie, we can find a solution…, he says staring at her and taking her hand.
-I know, House. But we both know it would be a too big risk for us, she Antworten looking at him tenderly. And I don’t want to take any risks now that we just got back at each other. I don’t want to lose Du one Mehr time…
- Do Du want me to go with you?
-No, stay with Rachel and come back in an hour, she says and gives him a soft KISS on the cheek. Then she goes out of the car. House waits to see her going into MacEnzie’s house, then he leaves.
-Doctor Cuddy, nice to meet you, MacEnzie says with a big smile as he opens the door. Please, come in, and he steps aside to let her in. Where’s your daughter?
-She’s with House, he takes her here back in one hour, Cuddy Antworten and comes in.
MacEnzie eyes her greedily, she’s gorgeous, the colleagues were right. And it’s great that we’re alone for one hour…, he thinks staring at Cuddy’s ass. He jumps a little when she turns to him and blushes. Well, please follow me, I’m gonna Zeigen Du your room and the room of your daughter. Cuddy feels uneasy, this man has “hungry eyes”, she thinks. House was right as usual. MacEnzie shows her the house, then they go to the living room.
-Do Du want to drink something? he asks.
-Hm, yes, if Du have some water, I’d like one glass please, Cuddy says rather coldly.
-Oh, MacEnzie Antworten a little disappointed. I thought you’d like some wine. It would be much Mehr easy to learn each other with a glass of wine.
-No, just some water.
MacEnzie goes to the küche and Cuddy looks around her. This man has good taste, he has nice furniture.
MacEnzie stops on the threshold of the living-room and observes Cuddy, she’s tiny, with dark curled hair, her clothes fit perfectly her body and MacEnzie feels his blood going faster in his body, this woman is really beautiful and she seems to know what she wants, she must be smart to run such an hospital as the PPTH, she’s just the kind of women that MacEnzie fancies. And she’s going to live with him for two days… He must admit that she seems cold and distant with him, but … it doesn’t disturb him, she doesn’t know him, he will Zeigen her that he’s worth it. But he has no time to waste because in 45 Minuten her daughter will be there. He hopes she’s going to bett early so he can be alone with Cuddy. Cuddy turns and sees him who observes her, she looks at him straight in the eyes, determined to be a little bitchy with him, she doesn’t like this kind of men, they think that all women just wait for them, they’re arrogant and pretentious, but she knows how to deal with such men. Well, she hopes so…
-Hm, here’s your glass of water, Doctor Cuddy.
-Thank you, Doctor MacEnzie.
-Hm, I was wondering… maybe we can call each other with our first name.
-I’m afraid not, she replies, I’m your boss and your one of my employees, don’t forget it, it wouldn’t be correct.
-Ok, MacEnzie Antworten a little upset and surprised.
-You have a nice house, Cuddy says and sits down on the couch with crossed legs so that MacEnzie can admire them. And in fact he stares at Cuddy, he can’t help but to focus on her legs, then his eyes go up and stop on her breast. Cuddy looks at him and a smile appears on her lips, she’s satisfied, she knew it, this man would like to have her, it’s obvious, and he won’t, he has no chance and she finds funny that he believes he can seduce her. She’s impatient to see how he plans to act. Doctor MacEnzie! Are Du Lost in a dream world? My eyes are a little higher…, she suddenly asks him in a soft voice.
-Hm, sorry, no…. yes… What did Du say? I’m sorry I was thinking of a medical case I have at the hospital, he Antworten embarrassed and blushes. Mac! Be careful, she’s your boss and she’s smart, don’t be too direct with her, win her trust first, he thinks.
-Oh, I see, Cuddy says and uncrosses her legs. That’s very kind of Du to accommodate me and Rachel, I hope we won’t disturb you, she adds with a wonderful smile.
-You’re welcome, that’s a real pleasure for me, he says and smiles too. I hope our hospital and our little city will please Du and your daughter. I can Zeigen Du the city tonight if Du want… oder tomorrow.
-I’d better like tomorrow after work if Du don’t mind because I’m tired tonight. I think I’m going to go to bett early, I have a hard Tag tomorrow.
-Yes, I understand, he Antworten and Cuddy can see how disappointed he is. We’ll go tomorrow after work. What do Du want to eat?
-Do Du have some vegetables? I don’t like meat.
-Hm, yes, he Antworten surprised. House told him she eats only meat and fish! Fortunately he bought tomatoes. I have some tomatoes and some salad… Just tell me what Du want.
-Thank you, I think Rachel and I are going to eat tomatoes and salad, she ate an ice-scream, I don’t think she’s very hungry.
-Ok, he says and goes to the kitchen. It’s much Mehr difficult that he has first thought. This woman is really smart, he has the impression she can read in him as in an opened book. And she likes playing, so he’ll play with her, but at the end he will win. Maybe.
Cuddy is tired, she just wants to sleep. This MacEnzie is so boring… She hopes House will soon bring Rachel so they can eat and go to bed. The doorbell rings. Cuddy stands up and shouts to MacEnzie: I’m going to open the door, I think it’s Doctor House and Rachel. She opens it and sees effectively House and Rachel. He looks at her, trying to see if everything was going well with MacEnzie. Cuddy sees his look and says with a smile: Don’t worry, I’m fine, he didn’t jump on me!
-He’d better not do it if he wants to have a long and quiet life, House Antworten calmly but Cuddy knows he’s jealous and he’s worried to know her alone with this guy.
-Mommy, we played and we watched the pirate cartoon, and House gave me chips and orange juice! Rachel says and she yawns. But now I wanna go to bed, I’m tired.
-Ok, my little pirate, Cuddy says and kisses Rachel’s forehead.
-House, Du read me a story, the little girl adds and takes House’s hand to make him come in.
-Rachel, I don’t think it will be possible, Cuddy says.
-No problem, I’m gonna read her a story and puts her in pajamas, don’t worry, I used to do it before…, House Antworten determined and comes in.
-Oh, good evening, Doctor House, MacEnzie says surprised. And obviously annoyed.
-Good evening, Doctor MacEnzie. I’m going to put my little girl to bett if Du don’t mind, House says with a smile. Honeybun, can Du Zeigen me Rachel’s room, he says and turns to Cuddy who rolls her eyes and try not to burst out of laugh when she sees MacEnzie’s face. This one looks very vexed and jealousy lights his eyes. House is so … “housian”, Cuddy thinks and finds him so sweet when he acts like her man and Rachel’s father. She knows he just wants to Zeigen MacEnzie that she’s his, that MacEnzie has no right on her and on Rachel, that’s a kind of warning and she’s him grateful for it.
-Hm, no, of course not, I just didn’t know that Du and Doctor Cuddy…, he says trying to contain his disappointment and his anger
-Oh, I forgot to tell you, I’m sorry. Honey, didn’t Du tell him? House says to Cuddy and grabs her arsch with a big smile, he finds very funny to play this role, especially because MacEnzie seems to be so disappointed, jealous and vexed. Cuddy jumps a little when House grabs her and gives him a severe glance.
-No, I didn’t think it was relevant, she Antwort and smiles at MacEnzie. I’m sorry, don’t care about him. So follow me! I’m coming back soon, she adds then to MacEnzie. House and Rachel follow Cuddy to Rachel’s room, MacEnzie is too stoned to react and he remains in the hall.
-Cuddy, are Du sure you’ll be able to deal with this man? He seems to completely have flashed on you! It can be dangerous for you…
-House! she says and rolls her eyes. What do Du think he’s gonna do after your “play”? I think he’s smart enough to understand your warning.
-I hope so, Cuddy. This kind of men are crazy when they meet a gorgeous woman like you, I don’t want Du to have any problems with him.
-House, don’t worry, she says and comes close to him, puts her head on his shoulder and wraps her arms around him. House wraps her waist and tightens her tenderly. He feels the warmth of her body and his blood is running faster in his body, he can smell her skin, her perfume, he had hoped for such a moment since several weeks, he so often dreamed to hold her in his arms, to feel her body close to his. He’d like to remain like this forever.
-Dad, I want my story, Rachel says and takes House’s hand away from Cuddy.
-Yes, my pirate, give me your book and go in the bed, he Antworten and sits on Rachel’s bed, looking tenderly at the little girl. Then he sees Cuddy leaving the room.
-Doctor Cuddy, I didn’t know that Du and Doctor House were…
-You’re right we were, she says sadly. I’m hungry, can we eat?
-Of course, MacEnzie replies, his mood up. After all, he still has his chance with her, House was just trying to put me away because he probably wants her back , but I see clearly in his game and I’m gonna try to seduce Cuddy, I’m not afraid of him, and all he sagte to me about her is probably wrong, he tried to scare me so I won’t try to seduce her because he’s afraid she can fall for me, MacEnzie thinks, very proud of him, sure that Cuddy will find him irresistible. Do Du mind if we eat in the kitchen?
-No, it’s ok for me, Cuddy says and sits down on a chair. Your salat seems great, she adds with a little smile.
-Do Du want some wine?
-No, I prefer water. I’m too tired to drink wine.
MacEnzie serves her with some salat and they begin to eat. About 10 Minuten later, House comes in.
-Well, Rachel sleeps, I’m going Home now, see Du tomorrow darling, he says and gives a gentle KISS on Cuddy’s forehead. Then he gives MacEnzie a strange, but threatening glance, in order to make him understand that Cuddy is his woman and that he’d better behave good with her.
-See ya, she Antwort and looks at him tenderly.
House gets in his car, he’s worried, he doesn’t like that Cuddy is alone with MacEnzie. He knows he shouldn’t be scared, he knows he can trust her, but… this man has a strange light in the eyes and he doesn’t trust him at all. I hope everything’s gonna be ok. I’ll call her in half an Stunde to see if she’s fine.
