One Night...
"I'm so tired of all the pain." He ব্যক্ত as he laid his head against the পালঙ্ক cushion and closed his eyes. Cuddy grasped his hand with hers.
"The medicine Wilson gave আপনি can cause intense migraines and nausea, but it will help with the hallucinations. We just need to get over the first hump and..."
House suddenly bent অগ্রবর্তী and vomited into the bucket near his feet. Cuddy rubbed his back gently. She pulled a tissue from her pocket and wiped his mouth.
"I haven't slept in days. When is this medicine gonna turn on the snooze?"
Cuddy put a hand to his forehead checking his temperature.
"Let me make আপনি some সুপ to settle your stomach. I'm sure all the vicodin and anxiety medication swimming around an empty stomach isn't helping with the nausea." She ব্যক্ত as she helped him lay on the sofa and threw a blanket over him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You slept." She ব্যক্ত as she held a glass of water out to him.
House sat up and rubbed his weary eyes.
"An ঘন্টা at most." He replied before swallowing the liquid.
"An ঘন্টা আরো than before."
"My leg needs my bed." He ব্যক্ত as he reached for his cane.
Cuddy helped him off the পালঙ্ক and led him toward his room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't আপনি get tired of this?" He asked with eyes closed as Cuddy gently stroked his hair.
"Tired of what?"
"Having to nurse me at my bedside. We've been here too many times."
"I don't mind." She ব্যক্ত as she picked up a cool cloth from the basin and placed it on his forehead. He sighed in relief.
"I mind, Lisa." He ব্যক্ত as he opened his eyes and turned to look at her. Cuddy smiled warmly at the usage of her first name.
"You haven't called me that in years."
"I know."
Cuddy pulled the cloth from his face and gently leaned over to চুম্বন his head.
"I'm always here for you, Greg. It's not always easy অথবা even very pretty but it's where I want to be."
She ran a hand through his hair once more.
"Lay with me for a while." He asked in a quiet whisper. Cuddy was taken aback দ্বারা the offer but soon joined him under the navy blue sheets.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I wanted to be at the baby naming thing." He ব্যক্ত as he turned on his side to look at her.
Cuddy inched closer to him.
"I wanted আপনি there." She ব্যক্ত with a sorrowful tone.
House reached his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him until their noses were close enough to touch.
"I'm glad you're here." He ব্যক্ত with a lazy grin.
Cuddy pushed her nose against his in a strange kind of eskimo kiss.
"Me too..." She ব্যক্ত before finally putting her lips against his softly. His hand skimmed up the back of her শার্ট as he pulled her on শীর্ষ of him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two Days Later...
"I had to commit him, Lisa." Wilson stated through tear-filled eyes.
Cuddy walked up to him and pulled him into a hug.
"I know...you did the right thing. We can't help him this time.
Wilson pulled from the hug to look at her face. He could see the fresh tears in her eyes too.
"My brother and my best friend are both losing it. What if they can't bring House back? What if this is it?"
Cuddy shook her head.
"No. He'll come out of this. He's the strongest person I know. He'll find a way back to us."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A মাস Goes By...
"Oh, God." Cuddy ব্যক্ত as she held up the pregnancy test.
She sat down on the toilet আসন and stared at the small plus sign in disbelief.
"I can't be. I can't be..." She ব্যক্ত as she rubbed her temples in fear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Does it say what I think it says?" She asked Wilson as he looked over the blood test results.
He looked up with a weary expression.
"You're pregnant."
"I'm pregnant." She stated with a huge sigh. Cuddy leaned against the nearest দেওয়াল for support. Wilson immediately went to stand দ্বারা her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Is it his?" He asked softly.
Cuddy just looked at him with watery eyes. Wilson pulled her in a hug.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He's Back and...
"It's nice to have fatty greasy cuisine again." House ব্যক্ত as he nibbled on the পেঁয়াজ rings Wilson just bought. Wilson chuckled at his friend's eagerness for আবর্জনা food.
"So, they gave granola and figs in the asylum?"
"More like oatmeal and রুটি that tasted like sawdust. They think that because you're a nut আপনি don't care how খাবার tastes."
"Well, you're back to all the unhealthy choices আপনি love."
"The American dream realized...Give me the scoop. How have the three morons handled the cases since I've been gone?"
"They did great. Sometimes Chase and Cameron helped them out."
"That's good..." He ব্যক্ত in a faraway tone.
"It was harder without your inventive ideas and sudden epiphanies though."
House looked up at his best friend and grinned.
"So, what's new around here? I know আপনি Wilson you've got some scoop. I've been gone for two months I need some gossip."
Wilson smiled nervously and his gaze went back down to his plate.
"...Nothing really. You've been the biggest gossip as of late. Everyone has an opinion on crazy Dr. House."
House studied Wilson for a moment and then went back to eating his পেঁয়াজ rings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A week gone by...
"Want to finish this বোরবন with me?" House asked Cuddy as she was about to leave his office. She turned around and looked at him.
"I thought আপনি used it all in your little 'diagnostic test' with your patient?" She asked with her hands on her hips.
"There is about a third left in the bottle. I'm sure আপনি could use a drink after today's events." He ব্যক্ত as he began filling two shot glasses. Cuddy dropped her hands from her hips and began fiddling with her bracelet.
"I better not...I have alot of work to still do."
"One shot isn't gonna derail you. We both know it takes at least four আরো to get your bra off."
Cuddy rolled her eyes.
"Maybe some other time." She ব্যক্ত as she walked out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Coffee?" House asked Cuddy as he waved the cup under her nose. She suddenly felt sick from the smell and waved him away.
"No coffee? Ya'know আপনি usually have a cup around this time. The last few days I've noticed you've been sans coffee." He ব্যক্ত as he took a আসন on her office sofa.
Cuddy went to sit পরবর্তি to him.
"I'm trying to cut down on caffiene." She ব্যক্ত as she tried not to breath in the smell of the drink.
"But you're still drinking black tea. You're actually only drinking black চা right now."
Cuddy rolled her eyes and stood up.
"Your point?"
"Just an observation." He ব্যক্ত with a wolfish grin before limping out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Did আপনি tell him?" She asked Wilson as she stared out his office window.
The oncologist walked over to her and placed a hand on her back. Cuddy turned to look at him.
"I told আপনি I wouldn't. I know I've betrayed your trust a few times but this time I swear I won't tell him."
"Thank you." She ব্যক্ত with a smile as she stood to leave.
"But আপনি should tell him." He ব্যক্ত before she could escape.
"I know."
"You're not প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে enough to be noticeable, but I'm sure he's noticed."
Suddenly Cuddy's eyes went wide and she quickly ran out of the office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another apartment scene...
"You know." Cuddy ব্যক্ত as she stalked into his apartment.
"That আপনি have huge funbags great for motor boating well I discovered that years ago."
Cuddy let out a frustrated grunt and threw her কোট at him to take.
"You know that I'm..."
House put the কোট on his sofa and moved to stand in front of her.
"I know?"
She turned her gazed to the door trying to avoid his stare.
"Cuddy?"
She looked up at his eyes and knew it was time.
"I'm pregnant."
House let out a breath.
"Why didn't আপনি tell..."
"Don't...you know why. You've been through alot and I wanted to make sure you..."
"That I wasn't a basket case anymore."
Cuddy furrowed her brows at him.
"You were scary. আপনি were seeing things and nearly হারিয়ে গেছে your life again...I took advantage of আপনি that night." She ব্যক্ত as she moved to sit down on the sofa.
House sat down beside her.
"I may not have been completely stable but believe me, I wanted it." He ব্যক্ত with a grin.
Cuddy looked up at him with a serious expression.
"Do আপনি want this?" She ব্যক্ত as she pointed to her slightly protruding stomach.
House looked away and remained quiet.
Cuddy shook her head and stood up.
"Don't worry about it. I know it's the last thing আপনি want. আপনি don't have to do anything." She ব্যক্ত as she took her কোট and walked out of the apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five Months Along...
"I thought আপনি could use this." Wilson ব্যক্ত as he handed Cuddy the small tub of অর্থহীন icecream.
Cuddy smiled brightly and gestured for him to come into her home.
"Hi, Rachel." Wilson ব্যক্ত to the crawling
ten-month old in her play pen.
"Is her cold gone?" He asked as he sat on the recliner.
"Yes. The humidifier worked wonders." Cuddy ব্যক্ত as she came out of the রান্নাঘর with two spoons and the icecream tub.
"None for me, thanks." He said.
Cuddy dug into the sweet snack happily. She rested the tub on শীর্ষ of her very pronounced belly.
"This is just what I needed after that disasterous budget meeting and two lawsuits." She ব্যক্ত as she licked the চকোলেট from her spoon.
"You look exhausted. Maybe আপনি should delegate আরো of your responsibilities at the hospital until the baby comes."
"That's a good idea. Maybe Cameron can take over some of my donor meetings."
"Have আপনি talked to House lately?" Wilson suddenly blurted out.
Cuddy put her icecream down.
"Why? What did he do now?"
"Nothing. I mean he just seems very preoccupied lately. He's always লেখা musical compositions when he's not at the hospital. We rarely go out bowling anymore."
"Well, that's আরো constructive then him getting wasted every night অথবা hiring a whore."
"There is quite a bite to your tone."
"He is just so closed off...I told him the sex of the baby yesterday."
"What is it?!" Wilson asked energetically.
"A boy." She ব্যক্ত with a proud smile.
"That's wonderful...Wait what did he say?"
"He didn't say anything." She ব্যক্ত with a forlorn look.
"He just shook his head and ব্যক্ত 'Good for you,' and limped away."
Wilson threw an arm around her and stroked her shoulder.
"It's alot for him but I know it means alot to him too." Wilson said.
"I hope so."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After 36 hours of labor...
"Knock. Knock." House announced as he entered the small hospital room.
Cuddy lay in the বিছানা drenched in sweat. Her hair was mussed and her eyes were beyond tired.
"Did আপনি see him?" She asked.
House limped over to her bedside and sat down.
"He's got your lips." He ব্যক্ত with a slight smile.
"And your eyes." She ব্যক্ত softly.
House swallowed and placed his shaking hand over hers. Cuddy grasped his hand in response.
"I haven't been dealing." He stated আরো to himself than to her.
"It's okay. I haven't exactly been the picture of perfection these last few months."
House stroked his thumb over her palm.
"I'll be there...for him if আপনি want me there." He ব্যক্ত in a whisper.
Cuddy couldn't help but to shed a tear at his sudden offer.
"I want আপনি there."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three Months Old...
"Davy, my little Davy. Time for sleepy. My little boy," Cuddy sang to her newborn as she rocked him in her arms. The baby fussed and refused to stay silent.
"Let me try." House ব্যক্ত as he walked into the nursery.
"Alright." She ব্যক্ত as she handed him baby David.
House sat down in the rocking chair and held his son against his chest.
"I was dreaming of the past. And my হৃদয় was beating fast. I began to lose control. I began to lose control. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to make আপনি cry. I didn't want to hurt you. I'm just a jealous guy..." House sang as Cuddy watched on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You always sing him John Lennon songs." She ব্যক্ত as she poured him some juice.
"He likes John the best. I tried some Ted Nugent but it didn't pan out so well." He ব্যক্ত deadpanned.
Cuddy chuckled.
"Thanks for putting him to bed."
House nodded in response and drank some of his juice.
"I should be heading home." He ব্যক্ত finally.
"Yeah...Well, I'll see আপনি at work tomorrow."
"See ya."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You spend a lot of time with her."
"We work together. Duh. Oh, and she is the mother of my child." House ব্যক্ত as he read his National Enquirer.
"Yes, she is." Wilson ব্যক্ত with a smirk.
"What?"
"Out of all the people that আপনি could have impregnated আপনি pick Cuddy. This is the woman আপনি say is just a friend, boss, অথবা hot one night stand, which doesn't apply anymore because you've now slept with her twice."
"Your point?" House asked annoyed.
"What the hell is it going to take for আপনি to admit আপনি like her maybe even প্রণয় her?"
"Wilson, just cause আপনি marry everyone আপনি বিছানা doesn't mean I have to."
"You're good together. David has only made things better. I hear Rachel even calls আপনি Daddy now..."
"Wilson, please stop. I'm not in the mood for your meddling."
"You know I'm right." Wilson finished saying as he got up to leave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, are আপনি gonna take the guy up on his offer?" Wilson asked Cuddy in her office.
"He's nice enough and handsome but I probably won't." She ব্যক্ত as she flipped through her folder. Wilson rolled his eyes at her response and then a devilish grin spread across his face.
"You know, Cate Milton is back at the hospital....House took quite a liking to her a few years ago..."
"Your point?" Cuddy asked in irritation.
"She's interested in him."
Cuddy looked up from her file.
"Good for him. It's been a while since he's been involved with someone."
"He's not interested, Cuddy." He ব্যক্ত in exasperation.
Cuddy smiled to herself and looked up once more.
"Well, that's too bad."
"Damn it!"
"Wilson?"
"You're just as stubborn as he is. আপনি প্রণয় each other. আপনি have a little boy to prove that. House is there for him, for Rachel, and most importantly for you. What's it gonna take for আপনি two..."
"I don't know." She answered truthfully.
Wilson softened at her sad expression.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Big Reveal...
"He's sound asleep. Rachel too." He ব্যক্ত as he sat পরবর্তি to her on the sofa.
"Thanks." She ব্যক্ত as she yawned and stretched her arms.
"You hungry?" She asked.
"What do আপনি got?"
"Left over Indian food."
"That'll do." He ব্যক্ত as he placed his hands behind his head and put his feet on the coffee table.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I think it's time to tell everyone the truth." Cuddy ব্যক্ত as she sipped her tea.
"What truth might that be?" House asked with his eyes closed about to fall asleep.
"That you're David's father."
His eyes snapped open.
"Everyone thinks it anyway. Those blue eyes are a big tip off." She ব্যক্ত as she placed a hand over his.
"The board would never take আপনি seriously again. They'd find some way to can you."
"You're right." She ব্যক্ত abruptly.
"What that's it? আপনি give up just like that?" He asked slightly annoyed.
She grinned at him.
"I want to tell our friends. Chase, Cameron, your team. They should know at least."
He looked intently at their interlocked hands before meeting her gaze.
"Why now?"
"Because I am happy and this will make me even happier. This will make আপনি happier too."
She traced her free hand against his chin. She took in a deep breath.
"I প্রণয় you, Greg."
House's mouth fell open at the revelation. His eyes remained fixed on hers.
"Greg?"
"It's about time আপনি admitted it." He ব্যক্ত with a tender smile as he leaned closer to her and kissed her deeply on the mouth.
"I'm so tired of all the pain." He ব্যক্ত as he laid his head against the পালঙ্ক cushion and closed his eyes. Cuddy grasped his hand with hers.
"The medicine Wilson gave আপনি can cause intense migraines and nausea, but it will help with the hallucinations. We just need to get over the first hump and..."
House suddenly bent অগ্রবর্তী and vomited into the bucket near his feet. Cuddy rubbed his back gently. She pulled a tissue from her pocket and wiped his mouth.
"I haven't slept in days. When is this medicine gonna turn on the snooze?"
Cuddy put a hand to his forehead checking his temperature.
"Let me make আপনি some সুপ to settle your stomach. I'm sure all the vicodin and anxiety medication swimming around an empty stomach isn't helping with the nausea." She ব্যক্ত as she helped him lay on the sofa and threw a blanket over him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You slept." She ব্যক্ত as she held a glass of water out to him.
House sat up and rubbed his weary eyes.
"An ঘন্টা at most." He replied before swallowing the liquid.
"An ঘন্টা আরো than before."
"My leg needs my bed." He ব্যক্ত as he reached for his cane.
Cuddy helped him off the পালঙ্ক and led him toward his room.

"Don't আপনি get tired of this?" He asked with eyes closed as Cuddy gently stroked his hair.
"Tired of what?"
"Having to nurse me at my bedside. We've been here too many times."
"I don't mind." She ব্যক্ত as she picked up a cool cloth from the basin and placed it on his forehead. He sighed in relief.
"I mind, Lisa." He ব্যক্ত as he opened his eyes and turned to look at her. Cuddy smiled warmly at the usage of her first name.
"You haven't called me that in years."
"I know."
Cuddy pulled the cloth from his face and gently leaned over to চুম্বন his head.
"I'm always here for you, Greg. It's not always easy অথবা even very pretty but it's where I want to be."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A মাস Goes By...
"Oh, God." Cuddy ব্যক্ত as she held up the pregnancy test.
She sat down on the toilet আসন and stared at the small plus sign in disbelief.
"I can't be. I can't be..." She ব্যক্ত as she rubbed her temples in fear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Does it say what I think it says?" She asked Wilson as he looked over the blood test results.

"It's nice to have fatty greasy cuisine again." House ব্যক্ত as he nibbled on the পেঁয়াজ rings Wilson just bought. Wilson chuckled at his friend's eagerness for আবর্জনা food.
"So, they gave granola and figs in the asylum?"
"More like oatmeal and রুটি that tasted like sawdust. They think that because you're a nut আপনি don't care how খাবার tastes."

"One shot isn't gonna derail you. We both know it takes at least four আরো to get your bra off."

"So, are আপনি gonna take the guy up on his offer?" Wilson asked Cuddy in her office.
"He's nice enough and handsome but I probably won't." She ব্যক্ত as she flipped through her folder. Wilson rolled his eyes at her response and then a devilish grin spread across his face.
"You know, Cate Milton is back at the hospital....House took quite a liking to her a few years ago..."
"Your point?" Cuddy asked in irritation.
"She's interested in him."
Cuddy looked up from her file.
"Good for him. It's been a while since he's been involved with someone."
"He's not interested, Cuddy." He ব্যক্ত in exasperation.
Cuddy smiled to herself and looked up once more.
"Well, that's too bad."
"Damn it!"
"Wilson?"
"You're just as stubborn as he is. আপনি প্রণয় each other. আপনি have a little boy to prove that. House is there for him, for Rachel, and most importantly for you. What's it gonna take for আপনি two..."
"I don't know." She answered truthfully.
Wilson softened at her sad expression.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Big Reveal...
"He's sound asleep. Rachel too." He ব্যক্ত as he sat পরবর্তি to her on the sofa.
"Thanks." She ব্যক্ত as she yawned and stretched her arms.
"You hungry?" She asked.
"What do আপনি got?"
"Left over Indian food."
"That'll do." He ব্যক্ত as he placed his hands behind his head and put his feet on the coffee table.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I think it's time to tell everyone the truth." Cuddy ব্যক্ত as she sipped her tea.
"What truth might that be?" House asked with his eyes closed about to fall asleep.
"That you're David's father."
His eyes snapped open.
"Everyone thinks it anyway. Those blue eyes are a big tip off." She ব্যক্ত as she placed a hand over his.
"The board would never take আপনি seriously again. They'd find some way to can you."
"You're right." She ব্যক্ত abruptly.
"What that's it? আপনি give up just like that?" He asked slightly annoyed.
She grinned at him.
"I want to tell our friends. Chase, Cameron, your team. They should know at least."
He looked intently at their interlocked hands before meeting her gaze.
"Why now?"
"Because I am happy and this will make me even happier. This will make আপনি happier too."
She traced her free hand against his chin. She took in a deep breath.
"I প্রণয় you, Greg."
House's mouth fell open at the revelation. His eyes remained fixed on hers.
"Greg?"
"It's about time আপনি admitted it." He ব্যক্ত with a tender smile as he leaned closer to her and kissed her deeply on the mouth.
