The Wedding

Prologue

The Cuddy/House Home.

"I only agreed to go because you said that you would come with me." House whined as he watched the love of his life button her shirt.

"I'm meeting you there." Cuddy answered, "I have meetings all day. Besides, didn't Josh say that tonight was boys night out?"

"I doubt that Donna is going to let Josh have a real boys night out. We'll probably end up playing poker or watching football."

"There will be beer and liquor, thats all you need."

"You're just happy we won't be going to a strip club."

"Can't say I'm disappointed you won't be ogling other women while I'm in another state." Cuddy smiled at House. He reached up and grabbed her hand.

"Well than you're going to have to give me a little something to tide me over until you join me." He pulled her on to the bed and began kissing her. The phone rang loudly on the bedside table. Cuddy reached for it but House grabbed her hand away before she could pick it up.

"The phone is ringing." She giggled.

"I don't care." He kissed her again

"It could be an emergency."

"If it was an Emergency, they would page you." The resumed kissing as the answering machine clicked on... The number you have reached is no longer in service. Message 219. Beeeeeeep

"I though I told you to stop changing the message on the machine." Cuddy smacked House with a pillow.

House, It's Josh. Love the message but I should tell you that trick stopped working for me years ago. Just calling to make your your not going to bail on the wedding and to remind you to bring cash for the game. The president said he's not going to let you in the room until he sees your wallet. Call my cell when you get into town. Bye.

"So when you said that you would probably end up playing poker or something..."

Cuddy crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows at House.

"I actually meant that tonight I will be playing poker in the basement of the White House with the Presidents Santos and Bartlet." House actually looked sheepish and slightly nervous. Cuddy could count on one hand the number of times she had seen House look nervous.

"Don't forget Josh Lyman and CJ Craig. You're going to play poker with the greatest minds of our generation." Cuddy teased

"And your ex-boyfriend." House looked suddenly morose and turned away. Cuddy placed a hand on his shoulder and leaned into him. She kissed his neck and whispered in his ear.

"He's not you."

"Thank God. He's not good looking enough to pull of a limp." He held up his cane, "I make this look good."

"Yes you do." Cuddy smiled at him with a twinkle in her eye. "If we leave now, I'll have time to drive you to the airport."

"Yeah, but if I drive myself to the airport we'll have time to do what I really want to do." House smiled at Cuddy and noticed with delight that the look in his eye had made her blush from head to toe. She stepped towards him and reached for his belt to pull him towards her. He kissed her, hard on the mouth. She responded eagerly as his heart pounded in his ears. She wasn't the only one blushing all over.
