House and Cuddy Handcuffed

Rating: T (to be safe)
Summary: Continuation of “Paternity”

House didn’t know how long he’d been standing on that lacrosse field. But the sun had gone down hours ago and the sky was now pitch black and his breath was visible. He shook his head and downed two Vicodin before finally heading back to his car. He’d be lying if he said that his missed his old life. Looking back, college was the best time of his life. Lacrosse, running, tons of girls falling over themselves to get to him, Cuddy…he smiled faintly at those memories. She’d pursued him, but not in that way. She was intrigued...

"Why are you here?" House asks as he opens his front door wider.
"I'll tell you if you let me in." Cuddy says as she unwraps her scarf.
"Fine." He says as he limps to the kitchen.

Cuddy smiled at the thought of her little girl. The baby naming ceremony had been fun. Her parents were surprisingly civil to one another, her sister was less judgmental...

"You smashed my new toilet with your cane!" Cuddy yelled as she neared House.
"Well, you decided to take over my office so I decided to take carte blanche over yours. You don't really need your own bathroom anyway," he said as he propped his feet on his desk.
"That's not for you to decide. Anyway, I haven't destroyed any of your property. You're completely out of control!"
"No, you're out of control and this is your way of getting your power back," he said as he finally stood up in front of her.
"You're wrong."
"Ever since that kiss you have tried to assert your administrative hand. You don't...
