Clueless Virgin Immaculately Conceives | House M.D. | MD TV

Hi, I'm Whitney. Hi Whitney. How can I help you? I have a terrible headache. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll get you fixed up. Is there anything else you need? A bottle of water? Coffee? Mint tea? No, but that's so nice. Usually the clinic doctors are kind of rushed. If you can't be nice, why be a doctor? So, where do you feel the pain? In the back of my head here. Uh-huh. That's a precarious sign. That'll be gone by your third trimester. I'm not in school. Neither is your fetus. Oh, God. You didn't know you were pregnant? How do you know that just from the headache? How do I know? I missed my period. I got fat. I threw up. Oh, don't wait. That's how you know. What? I know because of the tight shirt stretched over the swollen boobs, the salt craving you imported into the clinic, the motion sickness patch that doesn't do anything for the kind of sickness you get in the morning. I'm a virgin, says my fiancé. I believe him. Aren't there other ways I could get pregnant? Like sitting on a toilet seat? Absolutely. There would need to be a guy sitting between you and the toilet seat. Yes, absolutely. He's doing so well. Dr. House, this is my fiancé, Jeff. She says you told her you can get pregnant from sitting on a toilet seat. I said those words, but with particular inflection. I knew it wasn't true. Is there any other way? Isn't it possible? There was a reported case of a Civil War soldier who was shot in the testicles and the musket ball carried the non-musket ball into the uterus of a woman working in a neighboring field. Nine months later, a miracle child was born. Also, maybe she cheated on you. We made a promise. We do other stuff in bed. Couldn't some of his sperm have made it up there somehow? More likely it came from the guy whose penis made it up there somehow. But sure, anything's possible. I want a paternity test. Tell him that amnios are dangerous this early on in the pregnancy. Are they? Who cares? He doesn't know. We'll do the paternity test. I've been waiting here for six hours. Am I a father or not? She also didn't cheat on you. Normally, sperm meets egg, DNA meets DNA, goes back to her place, cells divide. Nine months later, joy is bundled. That's normally. Abnormally, an egg could have two naturally occurring gene mutations that don't naturally occur together. A spontaneous calcium spike could prep the egg for fertilization without sperm and a division mistake could let the egg split up without ever needing male DNA at all. Parthenogenesis. A baby without a daddy. In humans, it's only ever been theorized. It was never proved. Until now. Mommy, baby, your daughter has only maternal DNA. I've personally checked this five times. In seven months, you will have a virgin birth. Merry Christmas.
