(This chapter is more about their background relationship, and is meant to guide those who might not be familiar with the show. The following link I found useful in coming up with inspiration for the characters, as I never watch the show either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH9Sr25y8gw)
Tina walked in with a casual sway to her hips, keeping a professional composure as she always did while her heels marked her arrival down the hall.
"Good Morning Dr. House,” she smiled, ever the businesswoman.
"Good morning Dr. Cuddy,” Bette replied with similar enthusiasm, although her tone was drenched with sarcasm. She leaned on her cane with a bit of a smirk.
“Anything I should know about this morning?” Tina asked, flashing a sweet smile as Bette looked her over. It was never in an obvious way, but she could feel the tension between them when Bette’s eyes glanced over her. First, Tina’s hair – done up with bangs just falling onto her eyelashes – and then down to her smart-looking suit jacket and skirt. Bette was so quick to look that it hardly even seemed as lewd as it must have been, judging by the look in Bette’s eye. “Hmm?” Tina stood with packets of paper on her hip, growing slightly impatient with Bette’s ability to give her that strange feeling.
“Oh, right,” Bette smirked, turning back to the counter and taking a sucker from the bin, unwrapping it. “Well, there’s some imbecile in room 14 demanding an MRI, although the only thing he needs is some over-the-counter medication, and-”
“Those are for children,” Tina said incredulously, watching as Bette had brought the sweet candy into her mouth.
“So I don’t deserve some candy after dealing with those little-“
Tina’s hand covered Bette’s mouth as the sucker was pulled from it, and she just looked into Bette’s eyes before pulling her hand back. She wished there was no fire between them, but was always disappointed with the sensation she often felt between them. Her and this … child, so it seemed. “Please. There are patients here.”
Bette looked at Tina’s hand, as if regretting the fact that she hadn’t licked those fingers while she had the chance, but quickly pulled her thoughts from that. “I was about to say ‘little angels’, Cuddy. I don’t know why that kind of language isn’t appreciated ‘in front of the patients’.” And with that, Bette was walking off, down the hall with a smile, turning back just once more. “Nice suit, by the way.”

Wow! I can’t believe you chose this tv show. I just started watching it last week on DVD’s. I love it! Thanks to 4Cara for the background info. PPS!!
I used to watch House, and for some unknown reason I stopped, but I will not stop reading your story until the end.
I like your take on this female version of Cuddy and House. I am a former watcher of the show but that changed for me. Olivia Wilde was the hottest thing about that show but as of now she is on leave.Please more.
Excellent I don’t usually watch the show but I like your version. Thank you.
Oh this is going to be fun! Love it.
Yes! GR in the house! Sorry couldn’t resist it. Amazing as usual gr. I used to watch the show so it will be easy to follow. Can’t wait for the next post.
This season Cuddy and House are together in a “biblical” sense. Should be easy pickings for you.
Great idea.PPS
Hello GR, Great start to a very different B&T story. I am loving how you have managed to get the tension and playfulness between Bette and Tina just right.The sparks are flying as the throw barbs back and forwards,I can’t wait to read more.GR< it is wonderful to have your talent creating another brilliant read.Just awesome.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Good start, you got the original characters right. I used to watch the show and liked the first 3 seasons, by S4 it started its idiocy and lameness so I stopped towards the end of S4.As a non-watcher you seemed concerned about their little time together and their background. I’ll try to summarize it by saying they know each other from their college days where House was a popular genius jerk TA and Cuddy a serious 1st year student, had apparently a one night stand despite the mutual attraction. They reconnected when Cuddy had to take over House’s doctors who misdiagnosed his leg’s aneurism, the doctors wanted an amputation which House refused asking to be put instead in a coma to alleviate the pain and keep his leg intact. His girlfriend at the time (lawer: Stacy Wagner) and legal guardian wasn’t keen on that solution so Cuddy came up with an intermediate one: putting House in a coma as he requested and remove the damaged muscle while keeping his leg but the damage had so much extended that the surgeons had to remove nearly the entire muscle, leading to his limp and continuous pain hence his intact and abuse of Vicodin. House was so angry and self destructive after the operation that it lead to his break up with Stacy and raging anger towards Cuddy holding her responsible for his constant pain even if he secretly admits to himself that she did the right thing with what was requested of her. In short, due to his “jerkiness” and depression after the surgery, he alternated unemployment with under-employment for a long while. Meanwhile, Cuddy became the Dean of Medicine and recognizing House’s genius and also out of guilt she employs him as the Chief of Diagnostic department, which makes him directly answerable to her and lead to a lot of interactions between them as she has to constantly prevent him from deciding on unorthodox or experimental treatment while defending him near the hospital board of directors, other departments chiefs and even the legal system. On his side, while pushing her buttons, he cares for her, helps her keeping her post and the hospital on track as well as keeping her away from any suitable man by ruining her dates as they’re are still un-admittingly attracted to each other. They have a common friend, Wilson the Chief department of Oncology…. I like very much your writings and I’m looking for how you’re going to develop this fic, IMO you don’t have to completely stick to the show’s storylines but please don’t go along the silliness and lameness of the season 4 and ulterior ones. Read you soon.
This is good and like it!
