Written for a challenge a few weeks ago, I just realised I hadn't posted in my own journal.

Someone’s going to do something someone else will regret

The fuse will have to run out sometime
Something here will eventually have to explode”

Now you see me.
Now you don't.
Now you say you love me.
Pretty soon you won't.
Since ‘No Children’ was a while ago, and you may not have time to skim 16 chapters all over again, here’s a brief recap of where we left our intrepid characters:
Cuddy is pregnant, House is the father. Their relationship is currently undefined, other than spending almost every night together. House’s mother died, which was a catalyst for throwing these two together. This was started in the summer, so assume that season 5 hasn’t happened (even though I’m terribly glad that it has). House finally agreed to join a Pain Management Program run by the hospital which will provide him with medication management and physical therapy among other things.
Amber is sadly still dead, and Wilson is still grieving. He and Cameron have formed a casual snooping alliance. We pick up from the evening where House and Cuddy’s baby news is being broken over dinner with her family.
Whereas ‘No Children’ was based on the lyrics of one particular song, this new WIP will use lyrics from a few different Mountain Goats songs as chapter headings. I hope you enjoy it.
