37: Wakes up missing a kidney

Wilson started to turn over, but it hurt, and then he woke all the way up. He was lying in a hospital bed at PPTH, muzzy-headed and hurting. House sat beside him.

Wilson went dizzy with relief. He'd been so worried. "House? Where have you been?"

House looked startled. He folded up his reading glasses. "Right here."

"I--appreciate you being here," Wilson's voice caught a little. After House had walked away from the wreckage Wilson had thought he was finally, irreversibly alone. "I really do. But the police are looking for you. It won't take them long to look here."

House got up and shone his penlight into Wilson's eyes. Wilson tried to wave him off, but House wasn't groggy from anesthesia. House ran him through a quick mental status exam.

"Okay," House said, moving Wilson's legs to sit beside him on the bed. "Why are the police looking for me?"

"You--crashed your car into Cuddy's house. You could have killed five people, including her daughter. You broke my wrist. You don't remember that? You...you'd been guzzling Vicodin. If you were in an altered state of consciousness that could keep you out of jail! This is great. You still need rehab, but this is good news."

"Interesting. You say I broke your wrist? Which one."

Wilson looked down at his hands. There was no cast, no brace, no pain. His eyes flew to House.

"You went hunting with that jerk Tucker this morning. He had a seizure and shot you in the back. He's now an oncology patient again. Your kidney suffered major trauma. You had emergency surgery to remove it, and a very interesting dream."

"A dream? You mean you didn't take out Cuddy's house?"

House shook his head.

"You didn't shoot a hooker with an arrow and jump off a third floor balcony into a pool?"

"I seem to have had a lot of fun in your dream, but no."

So it had really been a dream? Everything since Tucker? Wilson thought back over everything he remembered, everything that hadn't happened. Or hadn't happened yet.

"House--are you still pining over Cuddy?"

House paused, and Wilson braced himself for a scathing joke and a quick exit.

"I was. I have been. But she's with Lucas. I'm pretty sure that the only reason I want her is that I can't have her. It'd probably be pretty awful if we actually got together, the control freak and the rebel. That never works. I need to move on."

Wilson nodded. "We're going to need a bigger apartment," he said tentatively.

"If you're ready to move on too, I hear Cuddy's been looking at a loft to move into. Some place smaller and with no yard. We could find out where and bid on it."

Wilson shook his head. "Trust me, we want a place with two bathrooms."

"You're serious about this," House asked, and under the humor was a note of very frightened hope that Wilson had probably missed hearing a thousand times before. But he'd seen the future and he was determined not to allow his restless libido to tip over the dominoes this time.

"I'm serious," Wilson said, and yawned.

"Go back to sleep. Try to dream up a good condo for us to buy. And a flatscreen."

Wilson smiled, and murmured into his pillow, "You're going to love my decorator."

Ah, so S7 was Wilson's worst nightmare. Makes perfect sense! LOL.

yarroway June 13 2011, 15:05:12 UTC

LOL, yes.

sydpenguinbunny June 13 2011, 10:56:27 UTC

AWWWWW :D I love how House isn't even that concerned at Wilson telling him he crashed his car into Cuddy's house lol House is just like "hmmm..." :P

yarroway June 13 2011, 15:06:09 UTC

It's a symptom. He likes those.

damigella_314 June 13 2011, 11:21:47 UTC

This was wonderful! How do you start with a lost kidney and end up with such a load of awesome...

"You're serious about this," House asked, and under the humor was a note of very frightened hope that Wilson had probably missed hearing a thousand times before. But he'd seen the future and he was determined not to allow his restless libido to tip over the dominoes this time.

How can it ever get better than this? Now if this just could be canon...

yarroway June 13 2011, 15:13:04 UTC

Thanks. You quoted the only text I'm remotely happy with.

menolly_au June 13 2011, 11:39:48 UTC

Great story from such an unlikely prompt :) So wilson lost a kidney instead of part of his liver, and presumably Tucker will now die - what a shame! Lovely humour and then there's this great line under the humor was a note of very frightened hope that Wilson had probably missed hearing a thousand times before Fantastic!

yarroway June 13 2011, 15:14:36 UTC

It was this or crack, and I wasn't caffeinated enough for crack.

srsly_yes June 13 2011, 14:58:27 UTC

I love the dream/hallucination reversal rewinds to 6x10 and is Wilson's. Very neatly done!

My favorite bit of banter: "Go back to sleep. Try to dream up a good condo for us to buy. And a flatscreen."

yarroway June 13 2011, 15:16:23 UTC

Wouldn't it be great if we could have a do-over?

barefootpuddles June 13 2011, 15:41:34 UTC

I hear Cuddy's been looking at a loft to move into. Some place smaller and with no yard. We could find out where and bid on it."

LOL. The writers should here this line and realize how ridiculous some of their stuff is!

"I seem to have had a lot of fun in your dream

It sounds a lot more fun in theory, House!

I could definitely do a rewind back to Tucker.

yarroway June 13 2011, 17:12:21 UTC

Yeah, the hooker hotel party sounds better than it was. :)

alternatealto June 14 2011, 13:26:04 UTC

Okay: THIS. Opening episode for Season 8. We need to start one of those giant petitions like the ones the Huddy folks keep circulating to bring Cuddy back to the show. And we need to direct all the show's writers to this post ASAP.

Your House and Wilson always sound and act so much like themselves in your stories that I can practically see the camera angles the story is filmed at.

yarroway June 14 2011, 15:45:39 UTC

Thanks so much! That's the best praise I could imagine.

With as much retconning as tptb have done so far, a little more shouldn't be too much to ask, right? :)

lhoma320 June 15 2011, 12:45:23 UTC

OMG, I love you for this. When I saw Tucker with the gun, I seriously thought Tucker was going to accidentally shoot Wilson. However, him shooting him and Wilson losing a kidney is far better. Plus, I love how you tied this into the final episode, a figment of Wilson's dream. I like this outcome better. :)
