what's wrong with me?

Chapter 7- I love you?

*House's point of view*

It was now 12:45pm and I had been sat with Flynn for an Hour and a half, for the most of it in silence.

"You love her don't you?" Flynn broke the silence by asking

"I think I do" I replied softly by voice hoarse from silently crying

"I know she loves you, I can see it in her eyes when she talks about you and looks at you. She's never really told anyone what our parents were like but two days with you and she's told you about her childhood. She trusts you and her trust is a thing that is hard to earn"

Just as Flynn finished his sentence the doors to surgery burst open and Emma came out in the bed.

"We'll take her back to her room and you can wait for her to wake up" A nurse motioned towards Flynn as he rushed to Emma's side

Doctor Peters walked out just after they took her to her room.

"What happened?" I asked him as I limped over

"We removed the tumour but there was a small bleed, I'm not sure how much damage if any happened. We will only know when she wakes up" He explained

"Thank you"

I never normally thank people but he saved Emma's life

I made my way to Emma's room and knocked gently on the door.

"You can come in House" Flynn motioned to the empty chair next to her bed.

I slowly walked across the room to the chair and sat down softly, my leg was hurting so I popped two Vicodin.

Emma had been out of surgery for two hours but she hadn't woken up yet.

Flynn had gone for a coffee in the cafeteria and left me to make sure Emma was ok.

I was starting to doze off in the chair when Emma woke up.

"House?" she asked in a groggy voice

"Emma, your awake. How do you feel?"

"well my head feels like its been cut into and I could do with some water" she replied with a small smile.

"That would be because your head has been cut into, I can help with the water"

I passed her a plastic cup with a straw in it to help her drink.

After her water she placed it on the table and grabbed my hand.

"House I've only known you two days but I trust you so much and you make me feel happy"

"Emma, you have made me laugh and smile more then anyone in my life. I think I love you"

Emma's eyes started to water and she squeezed my hand.

"I love you too"

I leant forward and gently placed a kiss on her cheek, she moved her face to the right and kissed me on the lips.

Her lips were soft and warm.

Normally if someone tried to kiss me I would pull away, but this felt right.

Flynn came back in the room just as I leant back in my chair

"Emma, your awake" he smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Told you I'd be fine" she laughed, her sweet laugh that warmed my heart and made my spine tingle.
