Lisa Cuddy woke up to the sound of a loud knocking on her door. Annoyed, she got up from her bed, put on her silky pink robe and slowly made her way into the foyer to open the front door.

"House it's 3 in the morning whatever you have to tell me that can't wait till morning better be important!"

She turned on the front porch lights and unlocked the door. As soon as she did she was surprised to find a girl probably in her late teens standing there holding a suitcase. Confused, Cuddy stood there wondering why a young girl would suddenly show up on her doorstep.

"Ummm are you Lisa Cuddy?" The girl asked.

"Yes I am …. who are you?"

"I'm sorry to just show up like this, the girl took a deep breath and said I think I'm your daughter" she finished feeling a bit of relief.

Cuddy stood there stunned barely able to speak, she took a deep breath and finally was able to murmur "Come in."

Cuddy, still unable to register in her mind what was happening; asking the girl "Would you like some tea? Coffee?

"Ummm tea is fine" the girl said following Cuddy through her house and into the kitchen.

As Cuddy walked towards the kitchen she felt like she dreaming, she felt as if she would wake up in a few moments in her bed surrounded by fluffy pillows and the smell of lavender; but then she remembered that this was real and actually happening. Just to be sure she gave her arm a little pinch …. owww she said softly this is definitely not a dream.

Cuddy and her daughter sat down at her kitchen table as Cuddy thought about the hardest decision she ever made in her life; giving up her daughter.

Flashback

"I don't know what to do; I really don't know what to do." Lisa tells Greg House.

They had been dating 6 months when Lisa found out she was pregnant. Now almost 8 months pregnant she debates what she wants to do with the baby.

"I just don't see how this is going to work out" Lisa says a tears run down her cheeks. "I mean I'm only 20 years old and you're 23. "I don't know how we can raise a child and go to college." "I can't raise this baby by myself Greg."

"I know" House says as he puts his arms around Lisa for support. "It's your decision; I'll support you either way."

Still sobbing Lisa looks up at Greg, she has made her decision and it's for the best.

End of Flashback

After Cuddy gave birth to her daughter she never as if so much held her. She was afraid if she did she would become too attached to her child and wouldn't be able to give her up. She remembered talking to her baby's father, Greg House, oh my god what am I going to tell Greg, she thought silently in her head.

As Cuddy and her daughter got to talking Cuddy found out her daughter's name was Sara. She was 18 years old turning 19 next month. Both of her adoptive parents died in a car crash a year ago.

"I always wondered about my real biological parents, as soon as I turned 18 I started looking for you." Sara said as Cuddy's eyes started to well up in tears. "I was wondering if I could stay here for a few days get to know you and give you a chance to get to know me, if you want." She added a little timidly.

Cuddy wiped the tears from her eyes and said "Yes its fine with me I would really like that.

The tea kettle started to boil; Cuddy got up from the table poured the tea into two cups, gave one to Sara and held the other feeling the warmth and the hot liquid through the cup.

Cuddy sat back down across the table from Sara put her tea cup down on the table, waited a moment before she said "Would you like to meet your father?"
