It's time for Cuddy to return home. She feels so guilty about everything has happened: her and House, Lucas, the fight, everything. She tries to find an excuse in order not to return home. But she knows she has to deal with this. It can't wait any longer, because it was something she delayed for a long time. She picked her jacket and left the office.
While she was walking to her car, Wilson called her: "Hey Lisa, wait a sec".
"Hey Wilson", she said with a tiring tone on her voice. Wilson reached her and started talking:
"I heard of what happened with House. You do realise that everything he did was a huge step for him and it feels so weird. If you really want him, go ahead and arrange the situation with Lucas, but if you don't, please then don't play him. This is his last chance to start trusting somebody else beyond himself. If this go bad, he will be ruined forever and it's gonna be your fault. So, think carefully before you decide what to do."
"Don't worry", she said. "This time I’m really sure of what I’m gonna do. Now excuse me, but i have a situation to deal with at home. Night Wilson", she says and unlocks her car. "Good Night Lisa, take care", Wilson replied and walked to his car.
During her way to home, Cuddy's head was filled with thoughts of what she was supposed to say and how she was supposed to act. She felt like her whole life was running in front of her eyes. Tears begun to run all over her face. But then, everything became so clear. Now she really knew what she had to do. She parked her car, took her bag and reached the door. Taking a deep breath, she unlocked it and walked in. "Rachel? Lucas? Where are you?" She walked through her house. Rachel? She asked again when her tone became desperate and trembling. Cuddy runs to her daughter's crib when she became really worried. Rachel wasn't in it. On the baby pillow there was a note. Her hands started shaking and by the time she read the first lines she collapsed on the floor.…
The letter was from Lucas, Cuddy began reading it and tears felt from her eyes.
“Cuddy, I wanted you to know that I love you so much. And we can forget all what happened earlier in your office. I want to be with you all my life. Rachel, you and me together as a family, like we dreamed. I’ll give you some time to analyze what path you are going to choose. I don’t want to pressure you, so I’m having Rachel. I’ll not harm her and you’ll receive a call from me. I’ll tell you were are we going to meet. PS. Don’t try to find me because you will fail and remember, I have Rachel, and maybe you’ll never see her back. Your love, Lucas”
Cuddy was shocked, she didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t believe that Lucas did this to her, the man she trusted to leave Rachel with. He kidnapped Rachel, and she didn’t know what to do? How come she was with a psychopath,. It’ll be insane to have again a relationship with him. Knowing he someday will do something to her. She grabbed her phone and dialled Wilson. “Wilson pick up”, Cuddy desperately said. “Please leave a message”, the Voice Mail replied. “Wilson I need to talk to you, its urgent”. “Damn, Wilson is not answering his phone, so I have to talk to House. I just don’t want to get in trouble with Lucas,” Cuddy thought. The phone started ringing, until House pick up. “Yeah” , House answered. “House I need you to come to my house”, Cuddy sighed. :Lucas kidnapped Rachel and I don’t know what to do. I need you”. “I’ll be there Cuddy, don’t worry, everything will be fine.” House replied trying to calm the situation. “Ok”, Cuddy said and hang up the phone and trembling. She didn’t know if it was the right choice to call House. But she needed him, not just because of Rachel. She wants to be with him, but now things were going to change. She hopes not. Certainly in a matter of time House and her will be together, or maybe not. Maybe because their destiny was not designed to get them together, but she refused to hear her thoughts. She really needed to make her choice wisely, not only putting emphasis in what she feels in her heart. Regardless if she will be miserable and make House miserable, her daughter was first.
Her thoughts were
interrupted by a motorcycle engine and followed by a knock on the door. She
took a deep breath and walked toward the door. She opened the door carefully reflecting that at the other end was standing House. Seeing her in her state of sadness and watery eyes. The first thing he wanted to do was hug her
tightly, but did not know if it was the right thing to do.
“Hey”, Cuddy greet to him wanting to be hugged tightly by his arms. As they were this morning in her office.
“Hey” was House’s reply.
Seeing through her eyes, he knew she wanted the same as him. So, he made the
first move and walked in hugging her tightly. His arms entwined between her body, he could feel the pain she felt at that time. She felt more relaxed being like this with him.
House made his next move, hold her tighter and giving a kiss on her forehead. She felt in peace, as if nothing had
happened. How was it possible to be embraced in the embers of the person you love will take away all your fears and sorrows. Until they broke their hug and stare to each others eyes again.
“Thanks for the hug, made me feel better. But I need your help to find Rachel”, she claimed desperately.
“Of course I will help you Cuddy, that bastard will not do anything to her and to you”, he said like protecting her from Lucas. He will not allow anything to happen to Cuddy or Rachel, he was their superhero. Well, at least that was he thought.
“Then what are we waiting let’s look for her, she must be somewhere Lucas currently visits. We should call the police”.
“No, He left me a letter saying he will call me, and that I must not do anything to find him. Unless I don’t want Rachel back.
But I think a place where he could be”, she said
remembering this place once Lucas told her.
“Ok, then what are you waiting, lets go”, House
said walking outsider towards her motorcycle, and Cuddy followed him closing the
door of her house.
“Thanks House”, Cuddy said giving him in reward a quick Peck on his lips.
“And I’ll not go in the motorcycle. We will go in my car, and I will drive.”
House agreed. Cuddy opened the door and she entered the car, followed by House who opened the passenger door and sat down. This
will be a long trip they thought.
Enjoy!
