Lisa Cuddy is accused of killing someone, when the police comes to PPTH and arrest her. House will do anything to prove to everybody that the love of his life is innocent. HUDDY.
I decided that I wanted to write another fic, I have no idea why since I have so many in progress, but anyway here it goes.
Hope you like it.

House POV:
It was just a normal working day at Plainsboro teaching hospital. I didn't have a case, so I went to hide so in that way Cuddy won't come and order me to do clinic duty. I went up to the roof, sensing that she won't be able to find me there.
I sat down on a chair that I had brought up here a few years ago. For some reason I knew I'd spent a long time up here and I had no intention to sit on the ground.
I set my cane down and made myself comfortable. It was a beautiful day in New Jersey.
I looked at the view from the top of the hospital; it was so quiet, so natural. I glanced at some birds that were in the air. For some odd reason I was a little bit jealous, they were free, free to do anything they wanted to. I couldn't. I was trapped, all because of the infarction. That had caused me all my happiness. My relationship with Cuddy was never the same since then. I think she blamed herself. She had no reason to, but that was Lisa Cuddy. Stacy left me during that time, I thought I was going to be an emotional wreck. Well, I was, but it was for a totally different reason. After Stacy left, I felt no longer trapped. It was like my life had meaning again. Lisa Cuddy was here. Sometimes she would take care of me; I fell in love with her all over again. Of course I'd never admit that but it's the truth. Deep down, I knew I had always loved her.
I dug into my pocket and took out my wallet. I looked through it and took out a picture. It was my most prized possession.
It was a picture of Lisa, me and Lily in Michigan.
I'd look at the picture often and remember the times when I, when we were happy.
I missed her, even though I saw her every day.
I regret that we had gone our separate ways.
I had tears in my eyes.
"House." A voice too familiar called.
I did not wish to answer, I just continued to look at the picture.
"House." The voice said again, a little louder this time.
She was coming closer to me. She put a hand on my shoulder.
It was Cuddy. I recognized her touch immediately.
I hid the picture, not wanting for her to see it.
"Yes Cuddy." I said with a strain in my voice.
"Are you okay?" She asked me.
I got up, but I didn't look at her, fearing she'd see right through my lie.
"I'm fine." I answered.
"No, you're not."
"You do know what day it is, don't you?" I asked her.
"How could I forget? We are the 2nd of May." She said, tears building up.
"It's Lily season."
The mention of Lily had made her burst into tears.
I had to leave and so I did.
I left her there, against my will.
God, would I have loved to hold her and reassure her.
I would have loved to kiss her and tell her it wasn't her fault.
But I just couldn't do it.
.
She collapsed on the chair, crying.
She saw something on the floor that caught her attention.
A picture.
She picked it up and looked at it.
She smiled, as she recognized the photo.
She glanced at House, he was so young and handsome then, she thought. She looked at herself thinking that unfortunately College doesn't last forever and looked at Lily. A beautiful baby girl.
Her beautiful baby girl.
Their beautiful baby girl.
She turned the picture over and saw House's writing in the back of it.
Lisa's not the blame, we should not think about who killed her, but just to remember her as who she was and not who she has become. She was the most beautiful Lily I've ever seen and I will mourn over her death for the rest of my life. You two are the most important people in my life. I love you.
She had no idea that House still felt that way; otherwise he wouldn't have kept the picture.
Even the thought of why had House had kept that picture did not cross her mind.

I went to the clinic; I knew Cuddy would not come there.
I didn't want to see her today.
I spent all afternoon there treating morons.
I was right; Cuddy did not show up until 4.
I had just came out of examination room number 3, when I saw Cuddy.
We stared at each other.
I think in that moments we shared our respects to Lily.
I walked away ready to take another file when 3 policemen came through the doors of PPTH.
"I would like to know where Lisa Cuddy is, please." One of them shouted.
"I'm Lisa Cuddy, what can I do for you?" she said.
"You can come with us." He told her.
"Why?" she demanded.
"You are under arrest for the Murder of Lily Elisabeth.
I gasped, this was not good.
"Are you kidding?!" I yelled to the guy.
"Excuse me, sir?"
"She did not kill Lily! That's absurd. Her death was 16 years ago"
"You are, sir?" Asking for my name.
"Dr. Gregory House."
"We have proof, Dr. House that Lisa Cuddy has killed her."
"It's not true." I defended.
"And why's that?" the policeman asked.
I looked at Lisa. I'd never seen her so lost in the 20 years that I had known her.
I was not going to let her o to jail, for the death of our daughter.
"Because I did it." I confessed.
I glanced at Lisa.
She was scared now.
"NOOOOO!!! Officer, House did not kill Lily! Don't believe him!"she yelled.
"I don't, ma'am. You were the only suspect. Dr. House is not involved."
"Suspect? I'm not involved? Who are you people?"
"We are the police and if you keep talking to me with disrespect, I'll have you arrested for assaulting a police officer."
"Whatever! But how dare you, do this to Lisa on the 2nd of may! How dare you!"
I looked once more at Lisa, she was crying.
"Why? What's so great about the 2nd of may?" The man aksed sarcastically.
"Great? There is nothing great what so ever about the day your daughter dies!" I scream.
"I don't care if this women is her mother or not. She killed her and she is going to pay for it."
I thought in that moment we were all going to be Punk'd!
That Ashton Kutcher was going to come out any minute.
But he didn't.
So this was the realest nightmare ever.
"She did not killed Liliana!" I said using her real name.
"How do you know her first name?" he asked intrigued.
"Are you stupid? I'm her father. Was her father! We named her!"
Everybody in the hospital looked at me in shock.
I fought back the tears that were threatening to roll down my cheeks.
"Dr. House. I do not care your involvement with Liliana, but Lisa Cuddy, mother or not of the child, did kill her."
I had nothing else to say.
Actually I had plenty, but nothing that I could say to make her stay.
I walked up to her and she was dragged away.
I caught her hand.
She held onto it.
You know in movies when two people are going to be separated and they hold on to each other until the end of their fingers touch before one of them leave? Well that's exactly what had happened.
Before I knew it, she was outside. In the police car.
She did not killed Lily and I was going to make sure, that she would not plead guilty.

TBC or not TBC…?
Should I continue or not? Please tell me what you think and please review. =D
