I'm pretty sure I gasped when I read that last sentence. Please let the baby be okay, please let the baby be okay.

This story is beautifully written, and you've captured all the characters perfectly. Wilson as the political wife is probably the most accurate description of Wilson I've ever read. And the relationship between Cuddy and House is spot on as well.

Can't wait for the next update! Thank you for writing!

I think Wilson is House's political wife, but the political husband in his own relationships. It just emphasizes how devoted he is to House, which I think is something he needs to see a professional about.

Oh. You're killing me with that last line.

The line about Wilson being the perfect political wife/husband says it all about him. Of course he would be waiting for Cuddy, apologizing for House. But really, I just love the right amount of sweetness from House, the way he obsesses and makes up for not being there with her. Love this so much.

Why, thank you. I think House has his own Housian ways of caring, which is a lot of what this story is meant to explore.

Tiny ears on baby hats are like simultaneously watching a kitten play with a string and seeing a puppy in a raincoat.

Oh, this is so, so fantastic. House being himself, but caring in his own ways. Cuddy having expectations but not childishly obsessing over every misstep. Each of them working toward here they need, and want, to be without losing what actually works between them.

Fuck canon, this is House and Cuddy as they should be. I'm too wrapped up in loving this to be worried about the ending. *That* is how good this is; I know I'm going to be satisfied no matter the outcome, because you're telling the story so well.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you like my take on canon - I don't think the show gets to call itself canon anymore, as it utterly betrayed the concept. For me, canon is seasons 1-4, and the events of 5 - 7 happened but in much less ridiculous ways.

Hopefully chapter five will live up to your expectations.
