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 bạn and talk to bạn please let me do that.”
“What is there to talk about bạn gave me up! Why do bạn care so much now? Where were bạn the first twenty-five years of my life? Please leave.”
“No!”
Thirteen shifted in her giường and then glared back at Cuddy.
“Fine if bạn won’t leave then get me a cup of water and the TV remote I’m going to watch TV. bạn 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 bạn I want to be your mother and make up for Mất tích time please give me a chance.”
“Why should I? bạn didn’t give me one!”
“Remy that’s not fair.”
“Call me Thirteen please.”
“Okay Thirteen bạn can never understand how much I regret not keeping bạn but look how good bạn turned out. You’re a doctor! bạn save lives bạn should be proud of yourself I know I’m proud of you!”
“Whatever I’m too tired to fight you. bạn know Cuddy I never admired anyone the way I admired you. bạn can walk into a room wearing the sexiest of outfits and still have everyone’s full attention on what bạn are saying. I looked up to bạn and strived to be thêm like bạn but now… I don’t know what to think of you. As mad as it makes me that bạn gave me up bạn 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 bạn say that. I just want to hold bạn and tình yêu bạn like a mother should. I was so scared bạn weren’t going to make it and I blamed myself. bạn may not understand it but I tình yêu bạn Thirteen bạn are my little girl and not a ngày went bởi when I didn’t wonder how bạn were.”
“Then why did bạn never try to contact me?”
“I couldn’t do that to bạn it would have just confused bạn and bạn were too young I had to now because bạn 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 bạn Cuddy but it still hurts really badly.”
“I’m sorry I hurt bạn and House Thirteen I had no right to keep bạn from him but it was the best for bạn 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 bạn going to ngọn lửa, chữa cháy me?”
“No, I’m going to transfer bạn to another department bạn will still be my employee but bạn will see your own patients it will kind of be like having your own practice. You’re ready bạn are an incredible doctor.”
“Cuddy this might seem odd because I’ve been so bitchy but can bạn 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 bạn can cry all bạn need to. I plan on being here for bạn whenever bạn need me.”
House walked in and saw Cuddy sitting on Thirteen’s giường he smiled for a một giây and then entered the room.
“How are bạn ladies doing?”
“Hi House, Cuddy and I were just talking and… I don’t resent bạn guys. I’m just really hurt bởi what happened.”
“You have every right to be I was hurt also in thêm 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; bạn turned out to be a great person and a really good doctor. That’s why I picked bạn for my team. I will say this though Cuddy loves bạn thêm than anything so please let her be your mom that’s all she wants.”
“I’m not comfortable with calling bạn guys mom and dad yet so I will just call bạn 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 bạn accept me Thirteen. House is right I do tình yêu bạn 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 bạn and am so glad bạn are okay. You’re such a strong person and I know bạn 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 bạn need anything just call for me.”
Cuddy left the room and waited outside while Thirteen and House talked.
“House can I ask bạn something?”
“It depends... of course ask away.”
“Are bạn 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 bởi this as bạn are. One ngày 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 bạn hoặc what to do bạn will have to help me kiddo.”
“Well bạn can start bởi 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 hoặc I didn’t get a copy.”
“You’re doing well I don’t blame bạn at all bạn didn’t even know I existed until I started working for you. What would bạn have done if bạn had known about me? Would bạn have wanted me?”
House sighed.
“I’m sorry Thirteen but the only answer I can give bạn is… I don’t know.”
“I understand bạn were young and had your life to live I probably would have screwed things up for you.”
“No. I would have screwed bạn up and bạn would probably be working the streets had I had anything to do with bạn upbringing.”
“I highly doubt that bạn would have been a good dad. bạn will be a good dad. Can I ask bạn another câu hỏi though?”
“Sure but only one.”
“Are bạn still in tình yêu 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 tình yêu her and she knows it. She captured my tim, trái tim twenty-six years cách đây 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 bạn and talk to bạn please let me do that.”
“What is there to talk about bạn gave me up! Why do bạn care so much now? Where were bạn the first twenty-five years of my life? Please leave.”

So, I've just joined this site recently, and I'm so glad I found it. First of all: it's posting made easy. một giây of all: it's a great forum, well-organized. Look phía trước, chuyển tiếp to meeting other House những người hâm mộ who tình yêu to write as much as I do!
I'm also greatful to the Drabble-A-Thon, for aiding me in the idea of nghề viết văn the fic "Tough Love". I found "Dying Changes Everything" to be one of the most heart-wrenching episodes of this hoặc any other season. We've never seen House so vulnerable...not even, perhaps, in "Merry Little Christmas". He's desperate in this episode to keep Wilson grounded. It made my tim, trái tim ache to see him trying so hard! When House really cares, he shows it, but in his own special way.
Would tình yêu to hear what others think about my fic. Please comment. As a writer, it would make my day!
Sincerely,
Sara K (Rivercrossing)
