"Cuddy?"
"You need to sleep now." Cuddy ব্যক্ত as she pulled his blankets up around him.
"What? You're gonna sit দ্বারা my bedside all night. You've done that before. Your neck will hurt like hell tomorrow and আপনি won't let me hear the end of it. Get in here already." He ব্যক্ত as he pulled the covers back and moved to the left side of the bed.
"I'm fine in this chair."
"Cuddy, I'm not gonna cop a feel unless আপনি want me to." He ব্যক্ত with a cheeky grin.
Cuddy sighed in exasperation and shook her head.
"House, I don't think..."
"Don't think about this just get in the damn বিছানা so I can get some rest."
Cuddy rolled her eyes and crawled into বিছানা পরবর্তি to him. They lay back to back.
"Happy now? আপনি act worse than Rachel when she wakes up from a nap. Atleast her excuse for whining is she's an infant. আপনি on the other hand..."
"I get it mom. Can we go to বিছানা now?" House snarked.
"Fine."
A few মিনিট of silence passed between them but neither was able to sleep.
Cuddy turned on her side to face him. His back was still toward her.
"What Cuddy?" House asked. He could feel her eyes boring into his back. Sighing to himself he turned to face her too.
"What?" He asked softer this time.
"I know আপনি don't want to talk about what happened in my office today. I know আপনি want to act like everything is normal between us and fall into this verbal judo we always feel comfortable with but House..."
"It was just an effect of the procedure. Lets not make it আরো than..."
"You asked how 'our' daughter was. আপনি kissed me on the cheek and ব্যক্ত I looked beautiful."
"It's doctor jekyl/mr. hyde in reverse. আপনি know the drugs make me act sugary sweet sometimes,but it doesn't remotely mean that I want your poop machine to be my kid অথবা that I want আপনি for that matter." He ব্যক্ত in a hardly audible tone. His eyes looked away from hers.
"You could barely even get that rationalization out...Maybe it is a side effect, but those feelings didn't come out of thin air."
House closed his eyes.
"You of course like me when I'm Dr. Jekyl. But what about now? Now that I'm Mr. Hyde again?" He asked as he opened his eyes.
"If আপনি recall I wanted আপনি months পূর্বে when আপনি were the same misanthropic bastard আপনি are right now. Do I like it when আপনি switch into nice mode? Sometimes I do. But I like আপনি anyway that আপনি are, be that good, bad, and in-between. আপনি just never believe me." She ব্যক্ত turning away from him.
House sighed again and drew his hand out to touch her shoulder.
"I believe you...that's the problem."
"...I don't want to get hurt either, House."
"I know." He ব্যক্ত as he removed his hand from her shoulder.
Cuddy turned to face him once more.
"We both know promises are usually broken. So, lets not make any promises. Just..."
House was staring at her intently wondering what she was going to say next.Instead of finishing her sentence she pulled House's lips down to meet hers.
At first he was caught off guard দ্বারা the sudden action but it didn't take long for him to feed his own desire দ্বারা capturing her lips with his.
House suddenly pulled her on শীর্ষ of him. His hands held her waist. Cuddy broke from the kiss.
"Cuddy?"
Cuddy, still on শীর্ষ of House, sat up. A smile slowly formed on her face as she pulled her শার্ট over her head. She wore no bra. House's eyes grew wide from the revelation.
Cuddy took his trembling hands and placed them against her breasts. He stroked her tenderly causing her to sigh happily from the friction. Slowly, House freed one of his hands and used it to pull her face back down to meet his.

"No promises." He whispered before he tasted her lips once more.
