what's wrong with me?

chapter 8- Who are you?

*readers point of view*

Emma had been in PPTH for 5 days recovering from her surgery, of those 5 days House stayed with her apart from if he had a case, they had grown to care about each other a lot and had started dating.

Emma was being released from the hospital today but she was going to stay with House in his office until he finished work.

Flynn had brought her some clean clothes that she could change into and said he would pick her up when she was ready to leave.

*House's point of view*

I was sat at my desk when there was a knock on the door and I looked up to see it was Emma,

"You can come in and sit down if you want" I motioned to the seat in front of my desk,

She walked across the office and gently sat down in the chair

"How's the head?"

"Hurts a bit but they gave me some pain killers, I've always wanted the side of my hair shaved but I was never brave enough to do it" she laughed as she ran her hand over the shaved part of her hair

"I think you look beautiful either way"

"Thanks, so what you up to today?" she questioned just as Cuddy walked in

"House I have a case... Oh I see your a bit busy, well I'll just leave it here" she said as she placed it on my desk

She glanced at Emma as she turned

"House, you know we have a policy of no hookers in the hospital" she made sure to say it in a tone that would hurt Emma,

I saw Emma's eyes narrow and her mouth twitch slightly.

Cuddy walked out of my office with a strut and I moved around my desk next to Emma and pulled her into a hug

"I'm so sorry Emma, normally we joke with each other but that went too far"

"I've been called worse, why does she do that to you. Try to embarrass anyone remotely close to you" Emma replied with a slight chuckle

"Think she's jealous of your beauty"

"we can make her more jealous if you want" Emma winked mischievously

"I like the sound of that" I replied as I kissed her.

"Can I ask you a question?" She asked

"sure"

"What happened to your leg?" she asked carefully

I took a deep breath in and finally explained something I hate talking about.

"I had an infraction. An infraction is an internal blockage of a major artery which prevents blood from flowing tot he infected part"

"Is that why you limp?"

"I limp because I had to have surgery because I had muscle death, they removed the dead muscle before it started to necrotize and poison my blood" I hate talking about what happened because as a doctor I should have known what was happening.

Emma held my hand and looked deep into my eyes.

"I love you no matter what and if you ever want to talk about it, I will listen"

"Thank you" I replied as I pulled her back into a hug.

"Do you wanna grab a pizza and watch a movie at mine tonight?"

"Will Flynn be there?" I asked with a smirk

"Oh um movie at your place then?"

"Sure, and we can plan what we are going to do to make cuddy jealous and leave us alone" she smiled and kissed my cheek.
