Wilson wasn't the only one who'd wondered at their ability to agree or at least compromise. Cuddy had questioned it from the beginning. She hadn't realized how difficult it would be for them to reach a concensus on the important issues, though. She'd expected the usual amount of bickering back and forth. She should've known better. It was one thing to squabble over House's obligation to perform his clinic hours. It was quite another to argue over the big stuff. When it came to the important issues--the personal issues--she wasn't willing to let House bully his way to his goal like he did with his patients. She had a tendency to dig her heels in and fight.

"I suppose I should be happy he's taken Whore House off the table," she told Wilson dryly, giving him a little roll of her eyes behind House's back.

"Big of him," Wilson agreed with a smile.

"Other than Crack, Emma or Nathan are the front runners," Cuddy said more seriously. She glanced at House and shrugged as she admitted, "Those are my top choices, but House hasn't completely ruled them out."

"Those are nice names. Certainly more socially acceptable than Crack," Wilson said. He wasn't surprised Cuddy would come up with a couple of good, safe names. Cuddy had an unconventional streak--the fact she was dating House was proof enough of that--but for the most part she was more traditional than she might realize. House, on the other hand, well, Wilson was in some ways still getting used to the idea House was going to be a father but he was curious as to how unconventional his unconventional friend might be with his child.

"So what are your top choices?" he asked House.
