Summary: The story of four Sons
Authors note: R&R highly appreciated. This is a very AU story and just a try if I could pull it off.

Pairing: Huddy
Disclaimer: I don't own House or its characters Fox does tho, I just used them shamelessly for this snippet.

'Danny, Chris, Will! Come in! Your father is about to carve the goose!Christopher James House, for God's sake would you please let your brother go!'

Chris snorted and loosened the hold on William who gave him one last shove for emphasis.

'Yea Chrissipoo, let poor sweetheart Willy go!'

Chimed Danny, first to walk past his mother, not making it without a smack on the back of his head and a roll of her deep blue eyes. He smirked down at her tho and leaned in to kiss her cheek, his two brothers repeating the action.

Lisa closed the patio door after them and walked back into the dining room where the table had been set for Thanksgiving, three of her sons already at their respective places, only Greg and her youngest missing. She set the pitcher with lemonade down and walked to the living room finding Luke in his favorite armchair, channel surfing.

'Dinner is on.'

'I'm not hungry Mom.'

Luke's gaze never wavered from the TV screen, his sullen look making Lisa sigh.

'C'mon, it's Thanksgiving. I've been cooking all day.'

Danny stormed past her and flopped down next to his younger brother, knuckling his bald head.

'Awww Icky Lukey is still mopey. Poor little bald baby'

Danny mock pouted and then snorted when Luke's fist hit his broad shoulder.

'Boys! Boys!'

She sighed in exasperation and looked at Greg, who had just emerged from the bathroom, helplessly. A glare from her husband broke the fight off.

'Danny to the kitchen, help your Mom carry the bird to the Dining room.'

House limped over to Luke and sat beside him, gazing at the TV like the sulky teen.

'Care to tell me why you look like dear old Uncle Jimmy after getting Divorced again?'

The teen just flipped the channel again, stopping at a basketball game review on ESPN, merely giving his Dad a shrug.

'Look...I'm not good with teenage phases and lows and stuff, thats what I married your Mother for, she however feels that since you are male I should be the one talking to you, all that father son bonding. We both know I suck at heart to hearts.'

It pulled a smile from Luke's lips who finally switched of the TV.

'I just had some stress in school.'

'Is this still about the bad grade in Math? C'mon, next time you'll do better, god knows I was never a genius in math.'

'Yea well...you're still a genius.'

Wringing his hands and staring down at them Luke tried not to show his feelings to openly, that wasn't a family trait.

'Look, rest for today, just don't think of it. Your brothers all had their problem fields in school. Danny still doesn't know how to find Europe on a world map, William thought Amiri Baraka was a Soul star and Chris still miss spells opinion.'

House patted his sons bald head and smiled almost affectionately. He knew his youngest was too hard on himself, and wouldn't he have been african-american House would've sworn that this was his flesh and blood, not just by mutual feeling but by genetics too.

'C'mon now, help your old man up and to the table.'

Luke did as he was told and stood, then pulled his father up with an outstretched hand. Almost already as high as his father with his 15 young years.

'You're not that old Pops.'

'Ahhh that's all the amazing sex, keeps me fresh even with 59.'

'EWW DAD!'

The other boys chorused together, Danny almost dropping the plate with the goose from laughter.

Lisa stood in the doorway and smiled at her boys affectionately. Danny and Will were smirking with their father and Chris was telling Luke a joke making them both crack up with laughter. Her eyes, as so often lately, filled with a sheen of tears at the sight of a almost happy family. Knowing and remembering all the hard times they had to go through to end up where they were now.

It was almost 20 years ago now that she had been named legal guardian for Christopher, her oldest with 22. It was a time with a filled with pain and heartbreak for Lisa, first she had given up the notion to have a child for the rest of her live, only to be told weeks later that one of her closest friends had died in a car crash. Tamara Wang had left her only son behind and had only trusted Lisa with his upbringing.
