Motherhood is really something that no woman is ever really prepared for, especially the emotional rollercoaster it can take you on. I, too, struggled very hard with my child - which is where the inspiration for this story came from, actually. I was intrigued by Cuddy's high, virtually unrealistic expectations of motherhood on the show, and I wanted to explore what would happen to her if she should go through a situation where she felt like she'd failed herself and her baby. This story was definitely an emotional and interesting journey to write.
I thought the way House behaved at the start was pretty bad, even for him
Ahahaha. Yeah. He was pretty brutal. He's like that, though - the more emotionally affected he is by a situation, the more of an asshole he becomes because he's quite incapable of dealing with his feelings. Not because he can't so much as he won't. And the emotions have to come out somehow - and for him, they come out in the form of asshole extraordinaire.
And hee. I really loved that line, too. Something about House developing a bond with a child gives me the fuzzies.
Thanks so much for reading and for replying with such lovely, thoughtful feedback. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the story. :-)
