I didn't really think to write a seconde session, but ... after all, why not? So I wrote this, I'm not sure it's good, but ...



After this first session, House and Cuddy were very sad and angry at themselves. They knew that both of them were screwed up, but not that much. How will it possible now for them, after all they said, to work together again, well not really together because Cuddy is the Dean of Medicine and runs the hospital and House runs the Diagnostic Department, so they can work without having any contact, even it will be very complicated, gegeven that except Cuddy nobody wants to supervise House. She must find someone else to supervise him, she can maybe ask Wilson … no, that’s not a good idea. Another solution will be to leave PPTH and find another job in another hospital, but she knows it can’t work, she loves her job here, she loves to have so much responsibilities, she loves the challenge it represents to run such a Teaching Hospital. She never gives it up. So, they will have to find a way to behave towards each other so that they can do their job. Meanwhile she has a lot to do and no time to spend with such thoughts, at least right now.
-So, what do u think of my idea? asks Wilson while he walks volgende to House.
House stops and turns to him : I know u acted with good intentions, I know u wanted to help me, but now I feel worse, can u explain me why ? And why should I go to see Nolan volgende week instead of saving patients’ lives? Therapy makes no sense to me, and u know it, so leave me alone.
-House, stop being a jerk and behave like an adult! u feel worse because u know that she still loves you, that u still love her and that she maybe would be willing to try again in the future, if u hadn’t married a hooker ! Things are much meer complicated now! Just because of your silly behavior! And a therapy with Cuddy door your sides is a way to face the problem and the fears that you’re not able, both of you, to do alone each one on your own.
-Ok, you’re done ? Because I have a case and a life to save, antwoorden House and goes away to his office.
-House, I’ll never leave u alone! Wilson shouts to his friend.
When Cuddy goes back home pagina this evening, she is tired and needs to have a rest. She couldn’t stop thinking of what House, Wilson, Nolan and she said. She still doesn’t know what she really wants of needs, for her and for Rachel. Maybe Wilson’s idea was not so bad after all. But she doesn’t know if House will be there volgende time, nor if she’ll be there, because it was so hard and painful to be near House, to talk about their relationship in front of other people.
And the volgende week, they are all in Wilson’s office for a new session.
-Good Morning, Nolan says, please sit down and listen carefully to what I say.
House decides to sit on Wilson’s desk, Cuddy and Wilson sit on the divan, bank in front of Nolan.
-House, why don’t u sit on the divan, bank near Cuddy, Nolan asks calmly.
-I prefer staying here, I have a nicer view, House antwoorden ironically and looks at Cuddy’s boobs with a little smile. This low top, boven is simply amazing!
-Well, anyway, it doesn’t matter. I have planned something … surprising for this session. But before I explain you, do u have something u want to talk about?
-Hmm, let me think, says House with a finger on his mouth, … yeah! I want to say something.
Nolan is a bit surprised, but he antwoorden : Good, House, we listen to you, what do u want to tell us?
-I just wanted to say that Patty and Selma are meer and meer beautiful and uplift. I wonder why …
Cuddy looks at him, surprised, shocked and most of all determined to pay him back this remark. Nolan doesn’t understand and asks:
-House, what are u talking about? About the Simpsons?
-Don’t worry, Nolan, they know, and saying that he points out Cuddy and Wilson. Well, we’re waiting for you, I have a patient to save, u know, so if …
-House, please, stop joking, antwoorden Nolan, a little offended. We’re going to play, but I need some meer players, that’s why I ask your team to kom bij us for the current session. u can come in, Nolan shouts, and Chase, Foreman and Taub enter the room.
-What’s the hell are u doing? Cuddy exclaims, I have no intention to talk about my private life with all the staff, she says in a cold voice and frowns.
-Nolan, what are u doing? Wilson says. Don’t u think that’s enough difficult to make them talk without inviting other people?
-Don’t worry, Doctor Cuddy, we won’t talk about your private life of your feelings today, please, trust me, says Nolan. Well, here is the game : u are six players, two of u are spies, the others are industrialists in sensitive technology. The goal is to find the spies and to protect your secrets processes from them. But nobody knows who the others are, and u have to rate who is who and to make alliance to find the spies, and the spies have to work together to protect themselves, lead the others on wrong tracks and of course bargain the secrets they steal. And to help you, u have to take cards and to realize the actions the cards describe. Any vragen ? Nolan looks around, and as nobody answers, he says : So let’s play!
After a little hesitation, they begin to play. At the beginning, they are kinda shy, but very fast they get caught up, and play like their life depend on it. Foreman and Chase try to trap House, who defends himself brilliantly and then attacks Wilson and Taub. Wilson counts House and sets violently upon Cuddy who resists until Chase and Foreman, who decide to team up, attack her.
-Hey, why are u all against me? she rebels. I’m the only woman, u can be fairplay.
-That’s the game, Chase antwoorden with a smile.
Cuddy turns to Wilson : Wilson, if u want new toys for your sick children, help me! she says and looks at Wilson threatening.
-Hey, u can’t do that! Foreman says and pretends to be shocked.
-Everything is good to win, Cuddy antwoorden with a little smile. James, I’m waiting for your support.
-Hm, all the toys on my list?
-Wilson, u made a lijst with 20 new toys, the hospital can’t afford it! Let’s say 10.
-15 of I kom bij their team, antwoorden Wilson.
Cuddy rolls her eyes but agrees. And House attacks Wilson again.
-Cuddy, I need u to counter House.
But Cuddy knows yet who is the other spy, that’s House, they are also in the same team, against all the others.
-Sorry, Wilson, I can’t right now, try to resist a while, so I can help you. And saying that, she deals a death blow to Chase and gets back an important booty.
-Guess who is gonna win? House says with a big smile.
-Not you, antwoorden Taub who gets some new cards and kom bij Foreman now alone.
-Are u sure, Taub, House antwoorden and puts one card on the tafel, tabel which counters Taub’s attack.
-Shit! But the game is not over.
Foreman looks at Wilson and Taub, and they unanimously decide to assail Cuddy who seems easier to eliminate.
-Hey, why don’t u go on House?
-Well he’s our boss, answer Taub and Foreman, and he’s my best friend, adds Wilson.
-But I remember u that I’m your boss too, and House’s boss.
House is first amused to see Cuddy attacked, but then he feels the need to defend her, to protect her.
-Don’t worry, baby, we’ll shoot them all down, House says and gives her a collusive glance.
The game lasts approximately another 15 minutes, and both teams play with doggedness and the will to win. House and Cuddy build a perfect team and manipulate their opponents in the perfection. And they finally fight out Taub, Foreman and Wilson, but not without difficulties.
-Who is the best? asks House with a smirk.
-Ok, ok, u won, but u and Cuddy used some illegal ways, antwoorden Wilson, a little bitter to have been so easily manipulated door Cuddy.
-What? antwoorden Cuddy and she pretends to be offended door Wilson’s words.
-He’s right, Doctor Cuddy, Chase says, u betrayed him and gave him a stab in the back.
-But I knew he wasn’t a spy, I had to protect myself, that’s the game, she says and smiles.
-I would like to thank u all for your involvement. Doctor Chase, Foreman and Taub, u can go back to work now, thank u for coming, Nolan says.
After Taub, Foreman and Chase left the room, Nolan invites them to sit down. And this time, House sits near Cuddy.
-So, what do u think of the game? Do u understand why I made u play? Nolan asks.
-We’re not so stupid, Nolan, antwoorden House, a little irritated.
-Ok, and can u explain it ?
-You wanted to toon House and Cuddy that they can work together, that they can be in the same team and pursue the same objective, antwoorden Wilson, admiringly.
-Good point, Doctor Wilson. Cuddy, do u think u can work with House?
-I … I don’t know. A 30 minuten game and an everyday life working are not the same. u can forget your state of mind, your pain for 30 minuten of maybe a day, but sooner of later it comes to u again, and often it overcomes u stronger than before, she says in a sad and painful voice.
Nolan is a little bit disappointed door Cuddy’s words, he hasn’t thought of such a reaction, Cuddy seems so hurt and so sad right now, and 10 minuten geleden she was beaming. She is a really complex person. House looks at Cuddy, he feels angry at Nolan and at Wilson to have hurt Cuddy even meer than she already was.
-See what you’ve done with your stupid therapy! he shouts. He craves to take her in his arms, but he can’t, he doesn’t know how she will react.
-Doctor Cuddy, do u want to talk about your feelings? Nolan asks in a soft voice.
-No, I don’t want to, I’m not ready to do it, I need some meer time. I know u want to help me, and … House, but … it’s too hard for me. I think I’ll take a few days holidays to think of all this … crap. House, she says and turns to look at him, I’m sorry, I never wanted to hurt you.
-Nevertheless that’s what u did, Cuddy. I trusted you, I wanted to be with u meer than anything else, don’t u remember what I told u the night of the charity evening?
-Yes, of course I remember, but I also remember u were drunk, House!
-Excuse me if I interrupt you, but can u tell me what happened this night? Nolan says.
As neither Cuddy, nor House seems to be willing to tell Nolan about it, Wilson begins to explain this day.
-It was about one week before they broke up. In the evening, Cuddy and the staff of the hospital were inviting to a charity evening. Cuddy wanted House to be there with her, House promised he’d come, and obviously he didn’t come.
-Where was he ? And why ?
-I wasn’t there because I lost my patient, because I dislike such events, and I was in a bar and drank to forget this patient’s death. Are u happy ? House antwoorden in a bitter voice.
-And how did u react Cuddy?
-How do u think I reacted! I was upset, irritated and angry at him, of course! One meer time he didn’t keep his promise! One meer time he proved me that I couldn’t rely on him!
-You know I don’t like all this hypocrisy, all these speeches about how good they are to give some money for the hospital … But I really wanted to be there with you, it’s just that …
-That ? Cuddy asks, with anger in the voice.    
-That my patient died because I was too busy thinking about this evening, about how I could make it worth for you! u made me a worse doctor, u distracted my mind, I didn’t focus any meer on my case because of you, I’m too obsessed door you, you’re always in my mind. That’s why I didn’t attend this charity evening, I had to think things over, to take a decision, to choose! antwoorden House, irritated. Why can’t u understand my point of view? Why can’t u see in which difficult situation our relation, our love puts me?
House looks so desperate, Cuddy isn’t able to look him in the face and she lowers the eyes. That’s an interesting situation, Nolan thinks. House decides to choose. But what did he choose?
-House, u just zei that this love relationship made u a worse doctor, what do u mean?
-I thought it was obvious, I’m not so much focused on my case, I think a lot of Cuddy and some clues to identify the illness of my patient appear me too late. One part of my brain is useless because of her, because of my love for her.
-Did u lose a lot of patients since u were dating Cuddy? Nolan asks.
-Actually two, but the first one wasn’t entirely my fault, the parents were responsible for it.
-So u lost one patient because of your love for Cuddy, that’s what u thought. But, are u sure that u wouldn’t have lost it if u were not with Cuddy? Honestly, House, do u really think that your love for Cuddy is responsible for the death of one of your patient? Didn’t u already lose some patients before u datum Cuddy? Do u really think she made u a worse doctor?
-I … I don’t know, but it could be … but …    
-But u chose me, u told me you’ll always choose me, adds Cuddy in a low voice and gives House a sad gaze.
What? Nolan can’t believe what Cuddy just said. House, this man who is obsessed door medicine and medical puzzles, who makes a sense of honor to resolve the most enigmatic cases, chose his love for this woman rather than the medicine! House must be completely in love with Cuddy, Nolan would have never thought House could care so much for someone. Their relation is undoubtedly very complex and very intense. He really has to do something to put them back together, he has no right to fail. He understands meer and meer Wilson and his behavior, his attempts to reconcile them.
-Yeah, I chose you, I chose loving u and being happy with you, and then u … u dumped me. u had no right to do it!
-Cuddy, do u understand what this choice means for House? Nolan asks.
-Yes, I understand what this means for him … and for me, she antwoorden sadly. I know it’s a big sacrifice for him, but am I not worth? Do I not deserve someone who cares about me? Do u think he’s the only one to make sacrifices? Cuddy is angry, she feels misunderstood, she knows of course that she was not always quite fair with House, but he was never really there when she needed him. Do u think I have to content myself with a man who prefers to hide behind games to avoid facing the pain, to avoid facing choices which would engage us both? She adds vehemently.
-Of course not, Cuddy, Wilson exclaims. u deserve someone who’s there for u when u need him, u deserve someone who cares for u and for Rachel, and you’ve done a lot and meer than anyone else for him. But House needs you, and u know it. He deserves to be happy and to be loved, and who is the best for him? That’s you! Who knows his pains, his fears better than you? u know it and he knows it. I know it’s very difficult and painful for both of you, but I just ask u and you, says Wilson door pointing at House then at Cuddy, to take time to think things over, to try to admit your mistakes and to give u both a seconde chance. Everyone deserves a seconde chance.
-Cuddy is right, Wilson, she deserves a guy who’s there for her every seconde of her life, who faces pain, choices and happiness with her, on her sides, she doesn’t need a jerk, a man who behaves most of the time like a child of who takes refuge in drug when he feels attacked, when he has to take important choices in his private life, she doesn’t need a man who always gets his own interest before that of the others, even if these others are his family. I’m not the man she deserves, even if I love her desperately, even if she loves me, and saying that House looks at the ground and feels really miserable.
They look at him and see how heartbroken he is, but they don’t know what to do to lift his mood a little bit up. Nolan and Wilson look at Cuddy, they try to make her understand she has to say of do something to comfort House, but she doesn’t know what to say of what to do. All what House zei is true, how sad it sounds. And Wilson feels the need to say something, he can’t beer to see House like this.
-House, don’t say that! u know that’s not true! If you’re able to understand what Cuddy needs, what u have to change in your behavior, if you’re ready to try, and if Cuddy is able to give u time, to appreciate your efforts, to make compromises and to change herself, then it could work!
-I think Wilson is right, Nolan says. Both of u will have to work on yourself and find peace with yourself, and if u really love each other, and I have no doubt about it, you’ll find the way to each other and you’ll be able to make your relation work. Let u some time, learn to trust you, to have faith in yourself and I’m sure you’ll succeed to be together again. Doctor Cuddy, are u ready to try and to give House and u a seconde chance?
-I know that House did a lot of efforts, I know he loves me, but I’m not sure he’ll be able to open up completely to me, to be really there for me when I’ll need him, she antwoorden and gives House a tender gaze.
-Cuddy, I know I can do better, please, just give me another chance! House says, his eyes filled with love and hope.
-I … I want to, but … I don’t really know what I want of what I need, I just know that I love you, that I need you, that I miss u since I broke up with you, but I need a little time, House, can u give me some meer time? she says and looks at him with love. Then she puts her hand on his cheek and repeats in a low voice : I love you, House, but give me some time.
-Yes, I understand, Cuddy, and u can be sure that I’ll wait for the time which it will be necessary, because you’re the only one in my heart, and you’re always gonna be the only one in my heart, the only one I love.
Cuddy looks at him with eyes full of love and hope, and finally adds with a little smile:
-So, first of all, please, get rid out of Domenica. And she gives him a tender kiss on his cheek.
House is surprised door her kiss, but he smiles and says:
-I’ll do it right now, … can u give me the phone number of the lawyer of the hospital?
-Come to my office, she antwoorden and goes out, smiling.
House follows her with his eyes, smiles a little , stands up and follows her. But before leaving Wilson’s office, he turns to Wilson and Nolan, and says : volgende week, same place, same hour! Then he gives a wink to them and goes out.
