They stay huged for a while watching TV until someone knocks at the door.
‘I’ll go.’ Lisa stands up and opens it.
‘Hi... how is he? Is he here? Why didn’t you tell me that he had awakened from the coma?’ Asks Wilson.
‘Yes, he is here. Come in.’ Lisa opens the door and he comes in.
‘Oh God...’ Whispers House.
‘Hey how are you? How do you feel? I was... we were really scared.’
‘I'm much better... thanks...’
Wilson nods and stares at him, finally he gives Greg a hug. ‘I'm not gay, I just have missed you this time. As a friend.’
House rolls his eyes and hugs him back. Lisa smiles looking at them, Wilson sees her and holds her hand to hug her too. ‘Come here.’
‘I love you guys.’ Says Lisa.
‘Shhh he's gonna think we had something while he was in a coma.’ Jokes Wilson, and she chuckles.
‘I love you both, but not the same way.’
‘Yeah... I can guess Wilson has been consolling you while I “wasn’t” here...’
‘Yes, but in a non-sexual way.’ Says Lisa looking at House.
‘I'm not worried now... thanks for the information.’
‘She’s only yours. Don’t worry she won’t be the fourth Mrs Wilson.’ Says Wilson, and Greg chuckles.
‘Well, it's good to know that.’
‘You want to have lunch with us?’ Asks her to James. He looks at them.
‘Well, maybe you'd like to share your lunch together...’
‘Oh come on... you can eat with us, that's not gonna cause me another coma...’ Jokes House. ‘I feel like eating gnocchi. In fact, there must be an Italian restaurant here. And I deserve a whim, I'm a poor crippled...’
The three go to the restaurant, take a sit and ask for the food. House stands up to go to the toilet while James stares at Lisa. She looks worried.
‘He will be alright.’ He says finally. She looks at him and smiles slightly.
‘Yes, I know... But... Well, actually I don't know, I cannot help being worried...’
‘Lisa, you know I’m here if he or you need me...’ She nods. ‘What is he gonna do know? Going back to work?’
‘No, not yet. He should do rehab...’
‘The accident left him with after-effects?’
‘His leg hurts more than usual. He should do something to distract himself from pain, but I’m pretty sure he won’t want to do rehab.’
‘I could go with him to do some activity to distract him from pain...’
Lisa nods. ‘That would be great.’
House comes back from the toilet and the waiter brings their meal.
‘Here it is.... yummy, yummy....’ Says Greg.
After a while eating Lisa tells him what they’ve been talking about.
‘Greg, Wilson and I have thought it would be good for you to do rehab or some activity that will help you with your leg pain.’
House looks at her serious. ‘Like a competition of having vicodin in a determined period of time? Good idea guys!!!’
‘Greg, we mean it.’
‘Oh... in that case we can create a rehab club!!! I'll get some T-shirts with a logotype which represents us...’
‘It will be good for you...’ Says Cuddy.
‘Thanks for your help mom... but I think my best friend vicodin and I can manage to get through this...’ He takes a bottle of vicodin out of his pocket and takes two pills, then smiles exaggeratedly.
‘Greg, we are doing this for you.’ Says Wilson.
Cuddy rolls her eyes a bit frustrated. ‘We are worried about you.’
‘Don't worry... I'm in good hands... I'm not going to rehab.’
Wilson looks serious at him. ‘We are not asking you.’
‘You need it.’ Points Cuddy.
‘Are you gonna force me or what?’
‘No. We are trying to make you realize that this is the best thing for you.’
‘Please House, understand it...’
Greg looks around. ‘I'm not going to do rehab... I need vicodin...’
‘You need to be pain free. Rehab can help you with that.’ Says Lisa.
‘No...’
‘Why are you so stubborn??’ Asks Wilson.
‘I'm not going to rehab and that's it... you can't make me change my mind...’
Lisa sighs and they keep eating in silence. House can’t believe they want him to go to rehab, he has been in pain for years... Okay, now it hurts even more, but he had an accident, so the pain it’s normal, he just need more vicodin.
When they finish eating, say good bye to Wilson and go back to her home.
He’s lying on the couch and she goes to sit next to him. ‘It hurts, doesn’t it?’
House nods with his eyes closed. Cuddy puts her hand on his leg and carresses it for a while very very carefully and slowly, trying to help him with the pain. ‘A little better?’
‘Yeah, a little.’ He smiles slightly.
When bedtime comes, he feels better and they lie on the bed.
‘I missed sleeping here with you. Hospital beds are not as comfortable as I thought...’ She smiles and hugs him.
‘You should buy more comfortable beds then...’
‘I’ll take a note...’ Says Lisa staring at him. ‘I know I’ve said this a lot of times, but I’ve missed you.’
He chuckles. ‘Yeah... actually you're being so repetitive...’ She smiles at him and he kisses her. Cuddy returns the kiss and he moves to lie on her while she caresses his back, but suddenly he feels a strong cramp in his leg. ‘Ohhh!!!’
She holds him. ‘Are- are you okay?’
‘Hmmm... not really... just give me a second...’ House lies on his back and rubs his thigh. Cuddy looks at him worried again.
‘Greg... you need to go to rehab...’
‘Same story again, Lisa?’
‘Okay, okay…’ She rolls her eyes and lies again next to him. ‘You better now?’
‘Yeah... where were we?? Oh, I remember...’ He kisses her and lies on her again, his leg is fine by now. Lisa kisses him back and starts taking off his pajamas’ shirt, he throws it to the floor and then feels the cramp afresh. ‘Oouch!!!’ House lies on his back again.
‘Okay, stay there, we'd be better leave it for today...’ Lisa separates a bit from him and he lifts one eyebrow. ‘You can’t… do anything if you have cramps, and if I tell you to do rehab you get upset with me again…’
He sighs and shows his back to her. ‘Goodnight...’
Lisa gasps. ‘Are you angry?’
‘No...’
‘Oh Greg, come on…’ She pulls his shoulder. ‘Okay, if you don't wanna do rehab, it's your decision, you're old enough...’
‘Right...’ He sighs. ‘Thanks for your approval despite I didn't need it...’
‘Can't you be an adult for once in your life?... I just want you to be alright...’
‘Oh, that's so nice and altruistic of you...’
Now is she who sighs and turns her back to him. ‘Okay, good night.’
They remain in silence for a while, until he speaks. ‘I'm sorry...’
‘It's... it's okay, doesn't matter.’
‘Sure?’
She turns to him. ‘Yes...’
He nods and gives her a kiss. ‘Goodnight.’
‘Sleep tight.’
Some minutes later they fall asleep thinking about them, the pain, Wilson, about the next day, go back to daily life...
