Chapter 3
I have decided that Rachel is not going to be in this
(Cuddy's House)
Cuddy woke to find that House's hand was on her stomach. His thumb was gently rubbing her small bump. Her right hand went down to join his. Today was the day that they were going to tell her mom about their baby. She had her doubts about how her mother was react to this news.
"Morning" he said pulling her out of her thoughts.
"Morning" she replied.
"You're going to be huge in a few more months, and you're going to eat tons"
"Well luckily for me I have you to go out in the middle of the night if I get any cravings"
House really hoped that he could find a way out of telling Arlene. He knew that this was going to end in tears, mostly on Cuddy's side.
"Do we have to tell your mom? Can't we just have Wilson tell her?
"Yes and no we can't have Wilson tell her"
"Why not it seems the easiest thing to do besides not telling her"
"Because she has a right to know that she is going to get her first grandchild from me and no complaining"
House really didn't feel like arguing with Cuddy, no reason to cause her more stress then she was going to go through later.
"Fine whatever" he replied and slipped his hand off her stomach and pulling on his clothes.
"Wait that's it? You're not going to try to get out of this" Cuddy asked surprised
"No, now I'm going home to get some clean clothes to wear"
"Are?"
"Yes of course I'm coming back, don't worry.
House left and came back as he said her would. He also had a duffel bag with him. He wander back to Cuddy's bedroom to find her asleep, he quietly closes her door and went out to monster trucks on the TV.
Around 5:30 House and Cuddy left and headed off to Arlene's house. It took about 45 minutes to get there. As Cuddy was about to ringing the door bell House stopped her.
"We can still leave and wait to do this later" House said with a little pleading in his voice.
"No we are going this now" Cuddy said and rang the door bell.
They didn't have to wait long for Arlene to come to the door.
"Lisa Greg what a surprise"
"Hey mom"
"Well don't just stand there come in"
House and Cuddy follow Arlene to the house. Arlene led them into the living room and mentioned that they sit on the couch, while she sat across from them.
"So what brings the two of you here?" Arlene asked
"Well we have something to tell you mom…Greg and I are going to have a baby"
House watched as Arlene's face went from confused to anger.
"What" Arlene screamed "Lisa what were you thinking, you're not even married yet"
"Mom I…" Cuddy said quietly as tears started to form in her eyes
"Your sister Julia waited until she was married to have children. Why can't you be more like her" Arlene continued to rant on what Cuddy had done wrong.
House watched as Arlene continued to scream and Cuddy cry. He couldn't take it anymore and stood up.
"What kind of mother are you? House roared "Your daughter just told you great news and you lecture her about what she did wrong? Normally mothers would be ecstatic to learn that they are going to get a grandchild"
"Don't you…"
"Shut the hell up" House was now furious "I don't think that I want my kid to have a grandmother like you, I know I wouldn't" House spat "Come Lise lets go"
House went over to Cuddy and put his arm over her waist and led her out the door and slammed it. They got in the car and headed to Cuddy's house. The whole time House listened to Cuddy sobbing. House helped her into the house. House was just closing the door as he felt Cuddy rap her arms around him. He turned and held her. He saw her shake as she cried harder. House led her over to the couch.
"Hey shh shh calm down this isn't good to stress yourself out"
"She" Cuddy choked out
"Screw her"
House sat there the next few hours trying to calm Cuddy. Around 9 Cuddy fell asleep. House looked down and saw that the eyes were a little swollen and really red. He felt bad for Cuddy, how dare her mom tell her how could she get herself pregnant without being married first. Than saying how Julia did thing right.
House put his hand on Cuddy's stomach and talked to their baby."Your grandmother is a whack job don't, how can she not be happy about you? House fell a asleep an hour later. During the night Cuddy woke up and felt Houses hand on her stomach, she smiled to herself and put her hand over his. If her mother wasn't happy then so be it, she would just tell their child that one of her grandmothers was dead. Cuddy shortly fell back asleep.
A week later Arlene came to their house to apologize for how she acted. Cuddy was not ready yet to forgive her mother. But things got a little better over the next month. Telling House's mother was much easier. Blythe was overjoyed that she was finally going to have a grandchild.
End of Flash back
Cuddy and House decided to have a small wedding with their families and friends. The ceremony went fast and before Cuddy knew it she was kissing House to seal the deal. The reception was fun. Soon House and Cuddy were slow dancing.
"You still want to know what we are having." Cuddy whispered into House' ear
"Yes" House replied eagerly
"It's a girl"
"Well I guess that we'll have a mini you"
The reception ended and House and Cuddy went off on their honeymoon. A week later they came back. House and Cuddy were happy, but that would change when they were faced with a terrible accident.
