CHAPTER 6 GOOD NEWS? BAD NEWS?
Cuddy couldn’t stay in her bed any longer; she hopped out at 5am and got dressed in flash and headed to the hospital. She didn’t even eat breakfast, she went to her office, what would she do? She had promised Wilson they’d see them together but he didn’t come in till 7. She could eat; no she was too nervous, she sat at her desk writing meaningless things on meaningless pieces of paper. Nothing like that mattered when in just an hour she would find out whether she could save her best friend’s, no the love of her life’s life. She fiddled and she wrote, until she heard a knock on the door, she almost jumped out of her skin but managed to say “Come in” it was only 6:30 but there stood Wilson, her hero at the moment
“Hey I came in a little early, wait how long have you been here?”
“An hour and a half, I couldn’t sleep”
“Well then, shall we go?”
She nodded furiously, Wilson had had them sent to his office, he had locked them in his desk. He got out the key and opened the drawer, Cuddy was shaking with anticipation and there it was, she couldn’t do it.
“You read them”
“Okay *clears throat* Match-Up James E. Wilson to Gregory House: Negative”
He paused, he really hadn’t read it before now and he was disappointed
“Match-Up Lisa Cuddy to Gregory House: Positive?!”
He said it with shock and confusion in his voice, Cuddy fainted. When she woke up she was sitting on Wilson’s couch in his office, unfortunately the team had come in early, they all heard the crash and came rushing in to see what had happened. They saw Cuddy almost to the floor with Wilson trying his best to hold her up. Once they got there Kutner and Foreman had taken her over to the couch, while Wilson grabbed the papers and quickly hid them in the desk. The team asked a lot of questions, but Wilson dodged them all and went to go buy her breakfast while they watched her. When she opened her eyes Wilson was coming back in with a tray from the cafeteria
“Ah it lives, here you are, since you didn’t sleep I figured you hadn’t eaten either. And being that you fainted in my arms and all”
She sat up and took the tray, she was dizzy, did she really hear what she thought she heard? She finally noticed that the team was all around her
“What are you guys doing here?”
Wilson answered for them “I didn’t let you hit the floor but my arm let a lamp do just that, they heard the ruckus and came running over”
“Oh thank you for worrying about me but I just didn’t have time to eat this morning and me and Wilson were talking and I guess I just passed out”
“It’s okay Wilson told us that already, um we’ll be going now” and they left
“Did they see the papers?”
“No I got them up, dang Cuddy you do not get ready to hear something like that by starving yourself!”
“Did I really hear what I think I heard?”
“Are you going to faint again?”
“I don’t think so”
“Then yes, you did, you’re a match with House, almost an exact match”
She ate in silence; her ears were hearing lots of things lately that her brain just couldn’t believe. But she knew one thing; she was going to do it! Of course there were some kinks to work out, like how was she going to tell House or just how she was going to do it. Then she finally broke the silence
“Okay then, I’m going to do it”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I’ll figure out everything, I just need to be alone to think”
“Okay” And she left for her office.
