Y/N and House made their way into the hospital, he smirked when he noticed his fiancée looking into the clinic discreetly.

"She's in her office. Go tell her," House said.

"Okay," Y/N said happily, rushing off into the clinic to tell Cuddy.

House continued on across the lobby, pressing the elevator button and waiting for it to arrive. He stepped inside when the doors parted and pushed the number for his floor. He rode up with a soft smile on his face, making his way to his office and taking off his coat. House grabbed the file from on top of his desk and sat down in his chair as he looked through the paperwork.

Wilson walked into the conference room before quickly spotting House in his office and stepping inside.

"You got engaged?" Wilson asked.

House nodded, "Y/N is downstairs asking Cuddy to be her maid of honor," House said.

"Congratulations. You two are really good together," Wilson said.

"Thanks," House nodded, eyes shifting behind Wilson. Chase, Cameron and Foreman filed into the conference room and took their seats at the table.

"Do you want to go out for dinner tonight with the fiancée? My treat," Wilson offered.

"Talk to said fiancée. If she says yes then we'll go," House said, standing up from his chair and grabbing his cane. He picked up a stack of copied patient files from his desk.

"I'll ask her and get back to you," Wilson nodded, making his way out of the office.

House stepped into the office, tossing the files onto the table in front of his underlings. The three doctors each took a file and began looking through it as House wrote out the symptoms on the whiteboard.

"Oh and before the news eventually reaches your delicate ears, I'm engaged," House said dismissively, eyes still focused on the board.

"You're engaged?" Cameron questioned.

"Is this real?" Chase asked.

"Yeah, I'm in premarital bliss," House said.

"Congrats," Foreman replied.

"Congratulations," Cameron said.

"Yeah, congratulations," Chase nodded.

"Thank god we covered that. Let's move on," House said, returning to the case.

...

House looked up when he noticed Y/N walking down the hallway by his office, she slowed to a stop outside the door. House could tell from the look of distress on her face that something was wrong. Very wrong.

"Get me a lumbar puncture and talk to Wilson if you can't find anything," House stated. Cameron, Foreman and Chase looked between each other before standing up and making their way out of the office.

Cameron gave Y/N a soft smile as she passed her, Chase and Foreman offered a polite nod. They could tell that it wasn't the time for congratulations.

House stepped out of the conference room after them, "What happened?" He asked.

"The baby isn't moving. I-I felt them this morning, but I haven't felt anything in three hours," Y/N mumbled shakily, eyes welling up with panicked tears.

"Did you try juice? The sugar makes them move," House said.

Y/N nodded, "Nothing," She replied.

"Come with me," House said, making his way down the hallway.

She followed him to the elevator, he pressed the button and they got in when the doors parted. House pressed the button for the main level at least seven times before the doors closed.

The ride down was silent. House stepped out when the doors opened, leading Y/N across the lobby and into the clinic.

"House, how nice of you to finally join us," Cuddy said sarcastically before looking up from her file. The woman's face fell when she saw that Y/N was with him.

"What's going on?" Cuddy asked.

"Baby isn't moving," House said.

"Exam room two," Cuddy said quickly, stepping out from behind the desk.

House rested his hand on Y/N's back and walked her to the exam room. Cuddy followed closely behind them, she closed the door and moved to stand by Y/N's side as she hopped up on the table.

House turned on the ultrasound machine as Y/N laid back and pulled up her shirt. House grabbed the bottle and squirted some gel onto her belly. He took a breath as he pressed the probe to her stomach and glided it through the gel.

Cuddy held onto Y/N's hand, her other hand settling on the young woman's shoulder as they waited. House clicked a few buttons and the soft thump of their baby's heart filled the room.

Y/N whimpered, lifting her hand to her mouth as she began to sob. Cuddy smiled softly, her own eyes glossing over with tears they listened to the heartbeat.

House exhaled, shoulders relaxing as he continued to move the probe around and press a few buttons. His eyes remained focused on the screen as he looked over the image.

"The baby is okay," Cuddy assured happily.

"I couldn't feel her. I-I thought I lost them again," Y/N sobbed.

House stiffened, keeping his eyes on the screen despite feeling Cuddy's eyes on him, "You've had a loss before?" She asked softly.

"Three... Two were first trimester, last one was seventeen weeks," House stated.

"I'm so sorry," Cuddy said. House nodded, returning the probe to its place on the machine and grabbing a tissue from the box.

House wiped the gel from Y/N's skin and pulled her shirt down over her bump. He took her hand and helped her sit up as she struggled to calm herself down.

Cuddy quickly hugged her friend, "Your baby is okay. They're strong and healthy," Cuddy assured, rubbing her hand over Y/N's back.

Y/N gripped onto her friend, breath stuttering as tears rolled down her cheeks.

House printed some sonogram photos from the machine, staring down at the photos silently. Cuddy pulled away from the hug, hand staying on Y/N's back to comfort her.

"She's okay, right?" Y/N asked.

"She's fine," House nodded, holding out the sonogram to her.

Y/N took it with a soft sniffle, wiping her tears as she took a few steadying deep breaths. Cuddy smiled, looking down at the photo of her friend's child.

"Thank you for checking on her. I-I just couldn't feel her anymore and I didn't know what to do," Y/N said.

"Yes, you did... You tried the juice and came to find me when it didn't work. That's exactly what you're supposed to do," House stated.

Y/N held out her hand to him, House took her hand and stepped closer to his fiancée. He pressed a kiss to her temple, guiding her body to lean against his chest.

"Take her home," Cuddy advised softly.

"No, I'm okay," Y/N said.

"Go home... You just went through something really scary and you should rest. Don't push yourself too far, not today, okay?" Cuddy said.

Y/N nodded, "Thank you, Cuddy," She said.

"Of course," Cuddy smiled. She stepped out of the exam room and closed the door, giving the couple some privacy.

...

Y/N was asleep in the bedroom as House watched tv quietly in the living room. A soft knock sounded on the door, House grabbed his cane and stood up before making his way over. He looked through the peephole briefly, he stepped back and opened the door to reveal Wilson standing in the apartment hallway.

"Hey, Cuddy told me about what happened and I thought you guys could use a home cooked meal... I'll cook and clean up afterwards, but if you want some alone time, I totally get it," Wilson offered.

House stepped aside, allowing Wilson to enter their apartment, "She's asleep in the bedroom so try and keep the noise down," House said.

Wilson nodded, he made his way into the kitchen and set his bags down. He pulled a wrapped bouquet from one of the bags, "I got these for Y/N if you want to trim them and put them in some water," Wilson said.

House nodded, taking the wrapped bouquet from his friend. They worked silently, the only noise being the soft chatter from the television in the next room and knives on cutting boards.

House peeled and chopped the vegetables as Wilson prepared the chicken before putting it in the oven.

"I got it from here. Go sit," Wilson said.

"You sure?" House questioned, Wilson nodded.

House returned to the couch after helping with the vegetables and flowers. House managed to get through an episode of a sitcom before he heard the bedroom door open.

Y/N shuffled down the hallway, House stood up from the couch and made his way over to her.

"You okay?" He asked, she nodded.

Y/N slid her arms around him, leaning into his body and resting her head on his chest. House wrapped his arms around her, pressing his lips to the top of her head.

"Is the baby still moving around?" House asked.

Y/N reached behind herself and grabbed his wrist, sliding his palm to rest on the side of her belly. He felt a gentle thump against his palm and he smiled.

"Never been so happy to feel her continuously kickboxing my bladder," Y/N said.

"I can imagine," House nodded, brushing his thumb across her bump.

Y/N lifted her head when she heard a noise coming from the kitchen, "What's going on?" She asked softly.

"Wilson came over to cook dinner for us," House said.

"Oh, that's sweet of him...I'm gonna go say hi," Y/N replied, House nodded.

He watched as she made her way into the kitchen, she talked to Wilson and gave him a quick hug before being promptly kicked out of the kitchen.

Y/N sat down on the couch beside House, he laid a blanket across their laps and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Y/N sighed, settling into his side and watching the television.

"Do you want me to change the channel?" He asked.

"No, this is fine," Y/N replied.

Wilson finished cooking and plated up the food, setting them down on the breakfast bar. He opened a bottle of sparkling cider and filled three glasses.

"Dinner is served," Wilson said.

House stood up from the couch, turning around and taking Y/N's hands to pull her to her feet. They joined Wilson at the breakfast bar and shared a meal before toasting to the couple's engagement.

Their friends had rallied around them in support and it was definitely something that they needed. The engagement and the possibility of losing their child made the day a whirlwind, but they had some incredible people who were willing to support them through it. Y/N was definitely the sole reason that half of the people maintained a relationship with him, but House was thankful either way.

The possibility of having something wrong with the baby made House panic. He didn't know if they would ever recover from such a crippling loss. Y/N had always wanted to be a mother, but she had given up on the idea after their third loss.

When House suspected that Y/N was pregnant again, she was quick to dismiss him. After he tested her and found the results to be positive, he was cautiously optimistic. House had never thought about having children before he met Y/N and he finally understood why.

Y/N was the person he was meant to be with, he would marry her and she would be the mother of his children. House made a decision that he would do everything in his power to support her and never let her down.
