House, Cuddy, Emma, Henry, and Jake meetup for lunch at the café and walk over to Dr. Keeler's office afterwards. Jake, Emma and Henry are told to remain in the waiting area until Dr. Keeler is ready to do the 4D ultrasound.

When Dr. Keeler comes in the exam room, she asks Cuddy if she has experienced any pre-term labor pains since last week. Cuddy replies "no, I haven't felt any contraction however; I have noticed that the twins aren't as active this week as they were before."
"They're probably getting crowded in there, but we'll check everything just to make sure."
House thinks to himself "Maybe, Cuddy had pre-term labor pains because she was stressed out worrying about me leaving and being alone." The babies are only active when they are arguing or talking; they weren't able to do that last week hence, the babies weren't active. House makes a mental note to make sure he comes home every night even when he's on a case. The team can call him at home if they need anything.

Dr. Keeler doesa very thorough examination of both Cuddy and the babies.
She informs Cuddy that she has gained 7 more pounds, her blood pressure is a little high, and her cervix had shortened a bit from 4 cm to 3 cm. Dr. Keeler also reveals that the babies are growing bigger. Baby A (Beck) is now 4.2 lbs while Baby B (Ham) is about 4.4 lbs and their heart rate is in 140s-160s. She points out that the size difference between the two is decreasing which is very good.

"In short, the babies are doing great but Mommy needs to slow down a bit," Dr. Keeler informs House and Cuddy that reaching 30 weeks of gestation is a huge milestone for MoMo twins, as they can now survive outside the womb. "As you know, Momo twins are never full-term because of the risk of cord entanglement. This means that you can deliver these babies anytime between today and six weeks from now. I strongly recommend that you finish the nursery now and complete your birth plan checklist."
Cuddy immediately makes a mental checklist of everything they need to do in preparation of the babies' arrival. House and Wilson have assembled most of the furniture in the nursery, except for the two matching drawers/changing tables that were custom ordered. Those arrived Monday, so; House and Jake will have to assemble them this weekend. As per the birth plan, she and House have already gone through the checklist and pretty much settled on everything except one issue: circumcision. Cuddy's Jewish and she expects all her boys to be circumcised, House is not and he doesn't want his sons' penis to appear different from his. She makes a note to discuss this issue with House again.

Dr. Keeler smiles at the couple and informs them the she'll be calling in the ultrasound technician to begin the show. "I guess, dad can call-in the grandparents and the big brother now."

Thanksgiving Day

While Emma and Cuddy are slaving away in the kitchen to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner; House, Jake and Henry assemble the drawers/changing tables for the nursery. Emma can't stop gushing about how lifelike those 4D Ultrasounds were. "I feel like that I have met them in person."
"I know. It's too bad the twins didn't put a show yesterday. You should see them when it's their dad doing the ultrasound."
"Have you and Greg decided on the boys' name yet?"
"We have narrowed it down to 4 so, we're making progress. Greg has finally given up naming the boys London, Random, Crack and White."
"With Greg's humor, I get the last three choices. But, why London?"
Cuddy places her hand on her belly and replies "that's where they were conceived."
Emma smiles, rubs Cuddy's belly and suggest "that's actually sweet; maybe you should put that back on the list."

In the nursery, House is 'testing' the rocking chair while Jake and Henry are assembling the furniture.
"So Henry, were you a spy in her majesty's secret service?"
"If I was, you'll be the last person to know."
"Come on, we're family—I'm practically your son in law. Besides, you're retired… or are you?"
"I'm sure you're a nice, trustworthy chap but there's not much really to say. I used to be in charge of security for the British embassies and consulate around the world. I suppose, one can infer that I work for her majesty's service."
House asks "Have you ever killed anyone?"
"No more than you have in your line of work."
House smirks at Henry response and asks "Have you heard what my son did to classified materials in the American embassy at London?"
Jake yells "Dad!"
House dismisses his son's reaction "Oh don't worry, they know. They probably knew it before the Americans did. Am I right, Henry?"
Henry simply smiles and declares "I think we're just about done here. Any of you lads care for a glass of sherry?"

Day after Thanksgiving

Jake drives his mom to work and decides to help her pack up a few things to make room for her replacement.
"Is Mike taking over as Dean of Medicine?"
"No, Mike will only be taking over the administrative parts of the job—procurements, billings, maintenance of the facilities, fundraising, etc. The Board has appointed a three person rotation to handle the medical aspect of my Job."
"You mean approving risky medical procedures and test?"
"Yes, those test and procedures that your dad is very fond of requesting. Those types of request will be handled by Carson for Cardiology, Nepar from Pediatrics, and of course, Wilson."
"Hmm...Wilson will always side with Dad. If Dad chooses to turn on his charm, Nepar will probably side with him too. I'm not so sure about Carson. I coordinated a couple of consults for him and dad. He's very straightforward and he never let Dad get away with his bullshits."
"Jake, let's not talk about my work. I want to hear how are you handling med school and are you meeting new people? Maybe meet some nice girls?"
"Mom, I talk to you every weekend. You know how school's going."
"School maybe, everything else I'm not so sure. Your dad mentioned that you're tutoring a, 'smokin' hot Swedish babe'."
Jake gives his mom a surprise look and replies "how did he know about that? Her name is Marie and she's a Swiss not a Swedish. She lives next door from my apartment. Her English is not very good, so I help her out a bit."
"Do you like her?"
"She's very beautiful, smart, funny and very adventurous. But it's too soon. Kaitlin and I you know… I don't want to jump in to another relationship. It wouldn't be fair to Marie."
"I think that's awfully wise and mature of you. I'm very proud of you, Jake."
Jake nods at his mom and asks "Mind if I head down to the cafeteria and get something to eat? Do you want anything?"
Cuddy shakes her head and replies "No, thank you. I still havea yogurt and abanana in the mini-fridge. Take your time. By the way, drop by the pediatric ward. All the nurses there ask about you all the time."

After seeing House walks-in the office and drop his backpack, Cameron immediately gets up to greet him.
"Hi, I thought you were off today. Did you have a good Thanksgiving?"
House simply grunt at his perky fellow.
"Would you like some coffee?"
House nods and looks at his desk. Cameron did not only re-arrange his desk but also left a Thanksgiving card. He opens the card, reads it, and discards it in the thrash can along with all the unopened mail that Cameron has neatly stack on his desk.
House grabs the cup of coffee from Cameron and says "I'm heading down to the clinic. If you need me… well, pretend that you never saw me."

Shortly after, the door in Cuddy's office swings open to reveal a scowling House walking in.
Cuddy asks "What are you doing here? I thought you were taking a day off."
"I was, but someone forgot to tell Emma that peace and quiet are required for anyone to sleep."
"What did Mom do?"
"The question should be what was she not doing? She's cooking up a storm in the kitchen, vacuuming the whole house. She even enters our bedroom while I'm sleeping naked in our bed."
Cuddy is desperately trying to control herself from laughing at the thought of her Mom seeing Greg naked. Curiosity gets the better of her so she inquires "were you having a nice dream of me again, when she walked-in?"
A smug smirk appears in House face and replies "I don't remember. But if her reaction is of any indication, I say Emma hasn't seen an anaconda that big."

"You want me to what? Are you out of your mind?" Wilson exclaims at Cameron.
Cameron replies "I'm sorry, I panicked and besides Mrs. House said she hasn't seen her Gregory in five years."
"So, they're now in the cafeteria waiting for House?"
"Yeah, they're driving back home from Virginia and they wanted to stop by and see their son.
I just need you to bring him to the cafeteria so they can a nice lunch together."
"Why don't you bring him there yourself?"
Cameron blushes and replies "Don't be silly. He's my boss, I can't ask him to have lunch with me. He'll think I like him."

As House and Wilson walks in the cafeteria, House immediately spots his parents seating on a table in the corner.
House declares "You know what, I just realize that I'm not hungry." He is about to walk out when he hears his mom yells "Gregory, Gregory, we're right here, son."
House looks at Wilson and says "I can't believe you did this to me. Way to go Benedict Arnold."
He turns around and smile at his Mom "hey Mom, I didn't even know you were here."

Jake who is a few tables away, hears the exchange between Blythe and House. He shakes his head and thinks to himself "I'm sure I misheard it. Dad said his parents are both dead."
