House's idea of a good time to do it would have been on Joel's graduation from high school (or possibly Joel's retirement :)
Yes, that's to be feared, because no matter what he did, he'd never feel that he fulfilled Wilson's 'paternity' requirements, and the longer he waited, the angrier Wilson would be — understandably.

I'm glad Cuddy had Nolan to call on
If she hadn't reached him, she'd probably have had to call the police, but I'm pretty sure Wilson wouldn't have appreciated that. It would look really bad in the event of a custody battle with Amy.

Yep, these people are complicated, at least in my fics, otherwise I wouldn't have a plot ...

Thanks for all the work you're putting in!
