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