Wow...I'm so sorry it has taken me this long to update. It's weird actually, because I've had this chapter written for a long time but I was struggling with the storyline for awhile and the end of this particular chapter, so I was being stubborn and not posting. But I think I've got things figured out, somewhat at least, and you have waited long enough! Enjoy!

Still the same day...


Chapter 6 ------ Visit

A little while later, a soft knock came from her door, and Stacy looked up to find Cuddy hovering in the doorway.

"Hey Lisa." She smiled.

"Hey Stacy. How are you feeling?" Cuddy asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"Pretty good actually. I'm getting a little stir crazy in here though."

"Want to take a walk?" Cuddy offered.

"Can I?" Stacy asked and Cuddy nodded. "That would be great." Cuddy helped her slide slowly from the bed and wrap a robe around her body. Cuddy lifted Danielle from the bassinet and handed her to Stacy who kissed her daughter's head, while Cuddy settled Nicholas into her own arms.

"Ready?" Cuddy and Stacy slowly made their way out of her room, walking aimlessly around the second floor. They were stopped by a few of the nurses who recognized Stacy, as they admired the babies. After a little more wandering, the two headed for the elevators. They made their way to the fourth floor, stopping in at Wilson's office.

"Hey there!" Wilson exclaimed, standing as the women entered his office. "How are you?" He asked as Stacy lowered herself to his couch.

"Good. We're good. Getting a change of scenery." Stacy explained.

"Ah, I see. Oh I have something for you." Wilson handed her the gift bag, holding Danielle so Stacy could open the gift. She pulled the tissue paper out, unfolding two receiving blankets with satin edging, one pink and one blue.

"Thank you James, they're beautiful."

"You're welcome. And now that the twins are here, we can take them back and get their names and birth dates embroidered, if you'd like."

"That would be great. Thank you." She grinned as she pulled two onesies from the bag. One was pink with glittery writing that read Does this diaper make my butt look big?, the other was blue and read Party in my crib, 2 AM. "How cute!"

Wilson and Cuddy chuckled. "They had a ton more sayings, but those were the cutest and most appropriate." Wilson told her with a laugh.

"Well I love them. Thank you."

After wrapping the twins in their new blankets, Stacy took Danielle back and she and Lisa headed back down the hall towards the diagnostics department. House was standing in front of the whiteboard with Chase, crossing something out, when they entered his office. He didn't see them at first, looking up only when Chase became distracted. Abandoning the board, he pushed the door to his office open with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, taking Stacy's arm and helping her sit on the arm chair.

"We came for a visit." She smiled up at him, then made a face. "I was getting tired of my room."

Chase was standing in the other room, watching the three adults, when Cameron and Foreman returned.

"What are you looking at?" Foreman asked as they walked in, turning to follow his line of vision. House and Cuddy were standing with their backs to the room, and between them the three could see Stacy sitting in the chair with a pink bundle cradled on her lap. "Guess we were right." Foreman commented. At that moment, Cuddy turned to House, settling Nicholas into his arms before hugging Stacy.

"I've got to get back to my office. Let me know if you need anything okay?" Stacy nodded and Cuddy left, heading down the hall. Stacy glanced back at House who was talking to their son and smiled.

"You know, if anyone heard you now your reputation would be ruined." She teased.

"Yeah, well, he's not talking." House pointed out.

"True, but I might- oh my." Stacy had glanced past House and burst into laughter. He turned around, brow furrowed in confusion at her sudden reaction, to see Cameron, Chase, and Foreman watching them with their jaws dropped in shock.

"Your mommy's crazy." He grumbled to his son. "Might as well meet Daddy's other kids." He limped to the door and pushed it open. "You gonna stand there catching flies all day or what." Three jaws snapped closed and Stacy stifled a giggle. House stepped back into his office with a jerk of his head, and the three followed him in.

"There are two." Cameron stammered.

"Are we playing state the obvious again?"

"Greg, leave her alone." Stacy admonished and her scowled.

"We just didn't-" Cameron cut herself off again.

"We already knew about the baby girl, but we never saw him." Foreman tried to explain.

"Well, meet Nicholas and Danielle." Stacy introduced them pleasantly. Danielle chose that moment to open her eyes and stretch.

"Well aren't you precious." Cameron melted, crouching beside Stacy's chair to watch the newborn.

"We're gonna..." Chase trailed off, gesturing towards the door.

"Yeah, congratulations." Foreman said, following Chase out.

"Men." Stacy laughed and House made a face.

Cameron laughed too. "I'd better go too. They're adorable." She looked between the infants. "Congratulations, really." She smiled as she left the office, leaving the new family alone.

"Stace." House dragged his desk chair up next to her and sat down.

"Hmm?" She was watching her daughter hold her finger.

"Look at me for a minute." He ordered and she looked up from the baby in concern.

"What's wrong Greg?"

He sighed. "Nothing really. I'm just wondering what is going to happen when you get discharged."

"Oh. Well. We'll be going to my home in Princeton. Their nursery is all ready for them." She told him softly.

"What about me? I don't want to be a part time dad." House said adamantly. "And you are going to need help."

"I know." She sighed.

"Good. I'll get Wilson to help me move my stuff in this weekend."

"What?" She exclaimed. "You're moving in?"

"Well, yeah. How else am I supposed to be there for the 2 AM feedings?" The onesie from Wilson briefly came to mind and she chuckled. "Stacy, I meant it when I said I'm going to be there for the three of you."

"I know you did, but-" She sighed.

He read the confusion in her eyes. "I want to be with you Stacy." He told her, his voice low, and she glanced up at him with wide eyes. "And not just as the mother of our twins."

She blushed. "Okay.

"Okay?"

"Yes, okay." She smiled up at him. "You can move in with us." He tugged her up and wrapped his free hand around her waist, kissing her soundly.

"Good." He kissed her again lightly. "Now let's get you back to your room." He shifted Nicholas to his left arm and grabbed his cane, the four of them walking slowly to the elevator and to her room. House held both infants while Stacy got settled into the bed. He was placing Danielle in her arms when the sound of someone clearing their throat caught their attention.

"Hey Princess!"

Stacy's eyes lit up to see Daniel and his family standing in the doorway.

"Danny!" She grinned. "Come meet your niece and nephew."

House stepped back as Daniel came to sit on the edge of the bed. Susan followed close behind with their sons, Nathan, age five, and Matthew age three, clasping her hands.

"Aunty Stacy!" Matthew exclaimed, breaking away from his mother and making a beeline for Stacy, nearly knocking House off his feet in the process. In true fatherly fashion, Daniel scooped Matthew up with one arm and grasped House's arm with the other to steady him.

"Sorry about that - Greg?" Daniel finally took a good look, eyebrows flying towards his hairline as he recognized him.

"Yeah. No big deal." House mumbled, shifting Nicholas in his arms.

Stacy watched as the two men stared at each other, Daniel looking between his sister and House. "Matty, Nate, come meet your cousins, Nicholas," She nodded to the boy House held, "and Danielle."

"Cool!" Matty exclaimed as Daniel lowered him to sit on the bed by Stacy.

"So, how have you been Greg?" Susan asked pleasantly, perching on the bed behind her bouncing son and setting a hand on his shoulder to calm him.

"Not bad." He shrugged. "Listen, it was good to see you guys, but I gotta-" He gestured towards the door. "I've got a patient. Do one of you want to hold him?" He laid the baby in Daniel's arms and squeezed Stacy's hand before limping away from the room.

"God. I haven't seen Greg in years, since I was pregnant with Nate." Susan commented. "Forgot he worked here. It was nice of him to come and see you." Stacy blushed.

"Uh," She cleared her throat as Danielle squirmed in her arms, opening her eyes and whimpering. She bounced the baby gently. "That's not exactly-"

"Is he-" Daniel broke off. "He's their father, isn't he. The one you had the affair with." He said quietly and Stacy nodded.

"Jeez Stace," He ran a hand through his hair in exasperation. "You ruined your marriage for him?"

"Daniel!" Susan admonished as Stacy sighed.

"Look Danny, I know you don't like him-"

"Damn straight. The man treated you like crap Stacy." Daniel exclaimed, wincing when his wife slapped his arm.

"Watch your language Daniel Barrett." Susan scolded. "This is not the time or place for this conversation. Save it." She turned to Stacy. "Are you happy sweetie?"

"Very." Stacy answered honestly.

"Alright then, " Susan turned and gave her husband a pointed look before directing her attention back to Stacy. "Let me hold that precious little girl!"

Stacy laughed gratefully and relinquished her daughter to her sister-in-law, watching as her brother turned his attention to the baby boy in his arms, crouching to show Nathan his new cousin.


A/N: Please review! I have no idea when the next chapter will be up, but I promise if you review it will be sooner rather than later!

A/N2: Those onesies really do exist. They have them at the Target out here and they're hilarious. The two Wilson gives are some of my faves...but they also have : Automatic Sprinkler, Tax Deduction, I cry over spilt milk, and a bunch more funny ones.
