Tell Me A Story
A story told in songfics...by me!
House and Cuddy are together in the future, and have 3 children...Jade, Shelby and Lucy. One night, their children want to know the story of how their parents got together. And it carries on over other nights, with a variety of storytellers.
Told in varying perspectives each chapter. You'll know who it is from the chapter name. It's mostly gonna be House or Cuddy, sometimes Wilson and the characters based on me and my friends...Katheryn, Ellis, Brittney and Kevin are making appearances as aunts and uncles :D
Just to let you all know that this is the final songfic chapter...then there will be an epilogue and then this fic will be finished.
If you enjoyed this story, please check out the other songfics on my profile, there are millions of Huddy ones, and my multi chap stories Just Drive and Lindsey, which are in progress. There are some finished ones on there, Pact For Love, Soundtrack of my Life, From My Heart To Yours, Bet You Weren't Expecting That, Karaoke, and House Pets. Would love to get your feedback.
This jumps forward a bit, to when Cuddy is 8 months pregnant.
ENJOY! :)
The next night, after having Chinese for dinner, the House girls found themselves back in Lucy's room, under that same old blanket, waiting for their Mom or Dad, whoever was telling the story tonight.
They got a bit of a shock when both of their parents walked in, hand in hand, ready to tell the story.
'You actually made it upstairs Mom?' said Jade snarkily, in reference to Cuddy's expanding waistline.
'Yes I did Jade, though you can't deny the fact that your brother is annoyingly large,' said Cuddy with a huff.
Crouching down to Cuddy's stomach, House gently stroked it and said, 'Don't worry Brady my boy, Mommy doesn't mean it.'
'Mommy does mean it, he's probably heavier than all of the girls birth weights combined!' exclaimed Cuddy.
'That's what Brittney said, but Elliot turned out to be 6lbs 1oz, and he was a week late,' replied House reassuringly, referring to their friend Brittney, who gave birth to Elliot George Chase 5 months previously.
'Humph,' said Cuddy, slowly sitting down on the floor propped up with a pillow.
'It's okay Mommy,' said Shelby quietly, playing with Cuddy's hair. 'It won't be long and then Brady will be here with us, and not in your tummy.'
'Yeah,' said Jade, evilly rubbing her hands together. 'I got 50 bucks on Brady being born this week. If I win, there is gonna be some sweet cash heading my way.'
'Who let you place a bet?' asked Cuddy furiously. 'You're 8.'
Looking at House, she found the answer, 'Chase,' they said in unison.
'Yup, my bet is that Brady will be born this week, that was 50 bucks, and 50 on him being over 8lbs,' said Jade. 'He's obviously a heffalump, so that pot is almost guaranteed, and we'll find out soon if I get the rest of the pot.'
'How did you even get 100 bucks to bet on this?' asked Cuddy.
'I told Daddy I needed to buy Christmas presents early, so he let me take out some of my savings,' replied Jade innocently.
House laughed, and said, 'Jade, you are definitely my daughter. There are no qualms whatsoever about it. You fooled the master my girl, I bow down before you, oh great bringer of lies.'
Jade and Shelby giggled whilst Cuddy and Lucy looked pissed.
Addressing the girls, avoiding eye contact with Cuddy and attempting to change the subject, House said, 'Tonight, your Mommy and I are gonna tell you a story about what we're like now as a couple, and how we feel now. Although now, it's probably a bit dicey.'
Smiling at him and giving a warning glare to Jade, Cuddy began to sing, House singing with her.
(When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you touched me, I felt love.
And after
all this time, you're still the one I love.)
'Ever since I saw your dad,' said Cuddy gently. 'I knew that we'd end up together some day. And even now, after all this time, he is the only man I have ever loved and will ever love.'
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
'We definitely took the long road,' said House. 'And that is the biggest regret of my life. Because if we'd got there quicker, we'd of been able to have you guys earlier, and maybe give you more siblings than we have, and we would've had more time together.'
'But we knew we'd get there eventually,' said Cuddy. 'And look at us now. We have you 3 gorgeous girls, Brady's on his way. We've come so far.' They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
'It seemed that the only one who believed in us was Uncle Jimmy Boy,' said House. 'We didn't even believe we'd make it this far. It still shocks us everyday at how perfect our lives are.'
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
'Your dad is the only man I have ever loved, and he'll be the last man I love. He's the one I go to when things get hard, Jade stop sniggering that's not funny, he's still the one that I want to spend eternity with, even after all this time, House you can shut up too, the only one that I dream of at night and the one that I kiss before I go to bed.'
Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
House said, 'I've never been one for listening, and I'm glad that I did when people told me that your Mom and I shouldn't be together, that we wouldn't last. Imagine what we'd be missing if we'd listened to them. Lesson learnt, Don't Ever Listen, It Screws Up Your Life.'
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
'And here we are,' said Cuddy.
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
'Your Mom is the only one for me in every way. I love her more than ever everyday, more than I ever thought my love for her could grow,' said House, squeezing Cuddy's hand softly and her squeezing it back.
Cuddy's grip on House's hand got tighter, and Jade squealed, 'Ewwww Mom, did you just pee on me?'
'No, Brady's coming, NOW!' exclaimed Cuddy.
'Jesus Christ!' yelled House. 'Right, Jade, get me my cell phone so I can call 911, and on the house phone, call Ellis and get her to come and get you guys.
'Okay,' said Jade, panicking.
She returned a few minutes later with the cordless house phone in her house.
'Auntie Ellis? It's Jade, Mom's gone into labour, will you watch us while he takes her to the hospital? Okay, be quick,' she said, putting the phone down.
House on his cell phone had called 911 and they were coming ASAP. A few minutes later, Ellis knocked on the door.
Jade answered, and said, 'How lucky are we that a gynaecologist lives several doors down?'
'Funny Jade, whereabouts is your Mom?' she asked.
'Upstairs, Dad moved her into their bedroom and Luce is still complaining about the stain that Mom's waters put on her carpet.'
'Typical,' replied Ellis. 'Right, I'll check on her quickly before you guys come over. While I'm doing that, you, Lucy and Shelby grab some things, okay?'
'Sure,' Jade replied.
Walking into the bedroom, Ellis found a huffing and puffing Cuddy, and a traumatised House.
'Hey Lise, I'm gonna check you over quickly before I take the kids to mine,' said Ellis reassuringly.
'Okay,' said Lisa. 'Greg stay up that end!'
'I'm down that end all the time,' said House. 'Why let Ellis down there and not me?'
'Because she is my gynaecologist and I trust her, also I don't want you to be put off,' said Cuddy.
'Fair enough,' said House, sitting by her head.
'Ummmm Lise, you must have been in labour for a while, or it's moving along very quickly, you're 9, almost 10cm dilated,' said Ellis.
'Dammit,' swore Cuddy.
'You're gonna wanna push soon, so the baby's gonna have to be delivered here.'
'Why is God doing this to me?' yelled Cuddy, squeezing House's hand in a death grip.
'I have no clue,' yelped House in pain.
'Okay Lise, I need you to push,' said Ellis.
'Ahhhhh House you are not coming anywhere near me with your penis ever again. You try and I will cut it off and feed it to Wilson!'
Ellis giggled, and House grimaced.
'Why do all of your insults to me have to do with feeding my genitalia to Wilson?' asked House.
'Right Lise, push again,' urged Ellis.
Lisa screamed as she pushed.
'Right, the hard part is done,' said Ellis. 'One more big push and you'll meet little Brady.'
Lisa began to push and tightened her grip on House's hand, making him scream with her.
'Here he is,' said Ellis, cutting the umbilical cord, wrapping a screaming Brady in a towel and passing him to Lisa.
'Awww look at him, he's gorgeous,' cooed Lisa.
The ambulance came a few minutes later to take Lisa and Brady to the hospital.
'Right,' said Ellis. 'Greg and I are coming with you guys, Kevin's watching the girls.'
'Okay,' replied Lisa, her eyes not leaving her son in her arms.
