  Three 
 by Sokerchick	

 Three.

Not such a big number, one, two, three. Even preschoolers can count that
high.

Three never felt so insurmountable. Three steps from his office chair to
comfy yellow chair in the corner of his office. Three hours until the end
of the day. Three days until the end of this hellish week. In three days
he would be free of the clinic for a month. 

He shut his eyes hoping to keep the pain at bay but Chase stuck his head
in with new results on the kid. Kyle? Keith? Kent? Whatever. The kid was
getting worse and that was what he needed to focus on. If only he could
reach the book on his desk. Steeling himself for the task he pushed
himself up onto his feet.

Three steps there. Three steps back. 

He sunk into the chair with a sigh and lifted his leg up onto the ottoman.
Then he begins to flip through the pages looking for something that would
fit the symptoms. 

Wilson poked his head in. "House, time to go."

"You came here to take me home? Won't the little bald people miss you?"

"I think they'll be fine."

Twenty minutes later Wilson had successfully parallel parked on his street
and he stood just in front of his door.

Three. Three fucking steps. Maybe he could sleep on the sidewalk, anything
to avoid those three steps. But then Wilson had bounded up them and opened
the door. A challenge.

He grimaced and started up the stairs.

Three more days.
