Well here it is, a sequel to Dirty Little Secret, I just couldn't help myself. Stephanie visits the grandparents, hope you enjoy this stroy as much as the last one. I promise you Stephanie is nicer in this one.
Also the team and Wilson probably won't be making an apperance of if they do it will be short, just to warn you.
And, it it's gonna be another short story, only a few chapters. I will try working on a longer one with Steph in, but here's one to keep you going.
I've added in a few details about DLS, for new readers (if any-not likely though). Spread the HUDDY love and please read and review.
Summer Holiday
Chapter 1- Grandma? Grandpa?
6th July 2006
She looked out over the crowd. Searching for the people she had seen in the photo. She looked nervously and decided to wait till the crowds had milled out. As the people did disperse, she saw them.
Blythe and John House.
Her grandparents.
"Hi." She called out barrelling over to them. "Blythe? John?" She asked just to make sure.
"Hello Stephanie." Blythe said pulling her into a hug. As she let the teenager go, she felt her tears well up as she noticed how much she did look like her son. "Call me Grandma."
"OK. It's so great to finally meet you." She then turned to the stoic man next to the beaming woman. "And you must be Grandpa." She said warily. She was a bit nervous about meeting her grandfather, since he was an ex-Marine and quite tough. Plus he was driven to tell the truth, she knew he didn't approve about her parentage being kept a secret for such a long time.
But she felt relieved when he broke into a smile and pulled her into an awkward but still loving hug. "Hi Stephanie. We're both glad you could come out here."
"Me too. Grandparents are great, they usually give the best presents." She hinted carefully.
"Presents later. First let's get you back home." Blythe said warmly.
"I just left there." Stephanie mocked. "You tired of me already?"
Blythe laughed as John picked up her backpack, and the trio walked to Baggage Claim to get her other luggage, already chatting away.
For 16 years, Stephanie Cuddy hadn't known that her mother's oldest and most complicated friend, not to mention most troublesome employee was her father. Thanks to another employee's persistent curiosity Stephanie had discovered that Gregory House was her father.
Now she was meeting his parents for the first time.
HHHHHHHHHH
Dr. Lisa Cuddy looked at the clock nervously. She reached out her hand but instead another hand gripped hers blocking her from grabbing the phone.
House looked at her lovingly. "Stop worrying, she'll be fine."
"I know, just this is her first time away from me. She might get lost or scared." Cuddy argued.
"She might meet my father and realise she's made a big mistake." House muttered as he sat down next to her on his sofa.
Just then the phone let out a shrill ring. Cuddy answered it before it reached a second ring.
"Hello? Stephanie?"
House grinned as he listened in.
"Mhmm. You got there OK, no trouble? OK, good. Excellent. Yep, I'll tell him. OK, love you too. Bye."
"Wrong number?" House asked as she hung up. She turned back to him and glanced witheringly at her lover.
"She got there fine, and is loving your parents."
"Really?"
"Yep, she's helping your Mom make dinner."
"Dinner…Sounds good." House said hinting.
"House, we've already eaten." Cuddy said.
"Alright, alright. But seriously I told you Stephanie would be fine by herself. She is 16."
"I know." Cuddy admitted.
As the lovers retired to bed, Cuddy though about the strange circumstances that had led to her sharing a bed with House. More often this time though. Her daughter Stephanie had recently discovered that Cuddy and House had a night long ago, which resulted in House being her father. They had kept it from her for a long time, but they had worked through it.
So now Stephanie was meeting House's parents, her own grandparents. And Cuddy was having some time alone with House. After Stephanie had discovered the truth, so had House and Cuddy about their feelings for each other. The love and lust between them was obvious to everyone who saw them. So it felt natural for them to become lovers and though some people at the hospital disapproved, Cuddy didn't care. For the first time in ages, she felt completely content and happy with her life.
Everything was falling to place. Life was good.
