*House glanced up at Cuddy for a brief moment before cleaning her lower abdomen with alcohol then carefully giving her the lidocaine.*
"You can call in the nurse," *he said quietly to Cuddy as he prepped the big needled syringe.*

"Aside from the fact that you haven't been a real doctor in nearly ten years..." *he said, using the usual abrassive wit to cover a moment of sensitivity towards a colleague's feelings.*
*House rolled over to the ultrasound, turned it on and put the probe on Renn. He turned the ultrasounds screen Cuddy's way and handed her the syringe.*

*Cuddy put on a pair of rubber gloves and laid her hand gently on Renn's stomach.*
"Now you'll feel some pressure..."

*Cuddy quickly inserted the syringe and extracted the fluid. Finishing the procedure, she smiled at Renn.*
"All done. Now we just wait for the lab..."

*House turned off the ultrasound, bagged the sample and quickly scribbled something on the bag with a marker.* "Make an appointment with nurse Evil for Tuesday. Your results will be back by then."

*Renn nodded and sat up.*
"Okay, thanks."
*She started to go, but turned around.*
"If... If I've already miscarried once before, is it likely that it'll happen again?"

"Depends on the cause of the miscarriage. This test'll tell us more. Until then, I want you out of bed only to pee, poo or shower." *House handed her the bag.* "Give that to the nurse outside."

*Renn nodded. That hadn't helped calm her fears.*
"Yeah, okay. Thanks."
*She attempted a smile and walked out of the room. After speaking to the nurse and handing over the bag, she headed for home...*
