Chapter 5: Forgiveness
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 Ты and talk to Ты please let me do that.”
“What is there to talk about Ты gave me up! Why do Ты care so much now? Where were Ты the first twenty-five years of my life? Please leave.”
“No!”
Thirteen shifted in her постель, кровати and then glared back at Cuddy.
“Fine if Ты won’t leave then get me a cup of water and the TV remote I’m going to watch TV. Ты 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 Ты I want to be your mother and make up for Остаться в живых time please give me a chance.”
“Why should I? Ты didn’t give me one!”
“Remy that’s not fair.”
“Call me Thirteen please.”
“Okay Thirteen Ты can never understand how much I regret not keeping Ты but look how good Ты turned out. You’re a doctor! Ты save lives Ты should be proud of yourself I know I’m proud of you!”
“Whatever I’m too tired to fight you. Ты know Cuddy I never admired anyone the way I admired you. Ты can walk into a room wearing the sexiest of outfits and still have everyone’s full attention on what Ты are saying. I looked up to Ты and strived to be еще like Ты but now… I don’t know what to think of you. As mad as it makes me that Ты gave me up Ты 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 Ты say that. I just want to hold Ты and Любовь Ты like a mother should. I was so scared Ты weren’t going to make it and I blamed myself. Ты may not understand it but I Любовь Ты Thirteen Ты are my little girl and not a день went by when I didn’t wonder how Ты were.”
“Then why did Ты never try to contact me?”
“I couldn’t do that to Ты it would have just confused Ты and Ты were too young I had to now because Ты 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 Ты Cuddy but it still hurts really badly.”
“I’m sorry I hurt Ты and House Thirteen I had no right to keep Ты from him but it was the best for Ты 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 Ты going to огонь me?”
“No, I’m going to transfer Ты to another department Ты will still be my employee but Ты will see your own patients it will kind of be like having your own practice. You’re ready Ты are an incredible doctor.”
“Cuddy this might seem odd because I’ve been so bitchy but can Ты 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 Ты can cry all Ты need to. I plan on being here for Ты whenever Ты need me.”
House walked in and saw Cuddy sitting on Thirteen’s постель, кровати he smiled for a секунда and then entered the room.
“How are Ты ladies doing?”
“Hi House, Cuddy and I were just talking and… I don’t resent Ты guys. I’m just really hurt by what happened.”
“You have every right to be I was hurt also in еще 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; Ты turned out to be a great person and a really good doctor. That’s why I picked Ты for my team. I will say this though Cuddy loves Ты еще than anything so please let her be your mom that’s all she wants.”
“I’m not comfortable with calling Ты guys mom and dad yet so I will just call Ты 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 Ты accept me Thirteen. House is right I do Любовь Ты 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 Ты and am so glad Ты are okay. You’re such a strong person and I know Ты 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 Ты need anything just call for me.”
Cuddy left the room and waited outside while Thirteen and House talked.
“House can I ask Ты something?”
“It depends... of course ask away.”
“Are Ты 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 by this as Ты are. One день 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 Ты или what to do Ты will have to help me kiddo.”
“Well Ты can start by 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 или I didn’t get a copy.”
“You’re doing well I don’t blame Ты at all Ты didn’t even know I existed until I started working for you. What would Ты have done if Ты had known about me? Would Ты have wanted me?”
House sighed.
“I’m sorry Thirteen but the only answer I can give Ты is… I don’t know.”
“I understand Ты were young and had your life to live I probably would have screwed things up for you.”
“No. I would have screwed Ты up and Ты would probably be working the streets had I had anything to do with Ты upbringing.”
“I highly doubt that Ты would have been a good dad. Ты will be a good dad. Can I ask Ты another Вопрос though?”
“Sure but only one.”
“Are Ты still in Любовь 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 Любовь her and she knows it. She captured my сердце twenty-six years назад 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 Ты and talk to Ты please let me do that.”
“What is there to talk about Ты gave me up! Why do Ты care so much now? Where were Ты the first twenty-five years of my life? Please leave.”
