Ok guys. CUDDY IS BACK!!! LOL! Hope you enjoy the chapter and thanks for the reviews :)
Chapter 7
The next day, a little after 2 pm, Cuddy walked out of the tunnel connected to the airplane that had just flown her back from Orlando. A smile appearing on her face as she spotted House standing in the terminal waiting for her before it fell quickly from her lips when she saw their daughter was not with him.
"Where's Jess?" Cuddy asked immediatly, walking up to him.
"She fell asleep at your Mom's right before we were supposed to come here and I didn't want to wake her." House told her as his eyes scanned over the enticing yellow summer dress she was wearing with spaghetti straps, a tapered waist and a hem that fell just above her knees.
The dress clung to her body in all the right ways, with each curve enhanced by the fabric as her full breasts, toned legs and perfectly pedicured toes, wrapped in matching yellow sandals reminded him once more of how breathtaking beautiful his wife truly was as he looked into her cool grey eyes that were staring up at him.
"You let Jess stay up late didn't you?" Cuddy questioned as they started to walk towards the signs that pointed the way to the baggage claim area, adjusting the her straps of her purse that was slung over her left shoulder.
Reaching for her arm, House stopped her abruptly. Moving Cuddy to the right where the restrooms, along with a utility closet were located.
"What are you doing?" Cuddy asked him with confusion expression.
House didn't answer her at first. Making sure the coast was clear before he opened up the door to the utility room that he knew had not been locked thanks to his earlier snooping.
Without a second to spare he pulled her inside of the small room with him, locking the door behind them.
"I've had two days of no groping, no kissing and no sex." He said simply, gazing down at her with a determined expression that told her exactly what was on his mind.
"If you think - " Cuddy started to say before her words were silenced by House lips as they crashed down upon her own with the hungry kiss of a man who wanted her desperately despite the fact that they had made love more times than she could count now.
In the blink of an eye she felt him tugging on her purse, moving it off of her shoulder and leaving it to fall with a soft thud to floor beneath them.
God he smelled incredible. Spraying on her favorite cologne this morning no doubt in order to get her in the mood as soon as they would find themselves alone once more. Knowing that when it came to sex with him…. it really wasn't a matter of where of if it would occur, but rather how aroused he could get her in order to assure she would climax just as hard and fast as he did in situations like the one they were in now.
"Are sure no one's going to try and come in here?" Cuddy gasped as House's lips lowered to her neck.
"Don't worry. The maintenance crew is busy cleaning up a rather nasty mess inside the airport bar and grill right now." House assured her, raising his head to look into her eyes before resting his cane on the metal shelf beside them.
"And of course you wouldn't have anything to do with that mess now would you?" Cuddy asked him knowingly. Watching House as he stepped back from her for a moment, unbuttoning his jeans before lowering the zipper on them with a single swift motion.
"I'm completely innocent." He told her with smirk before wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her deeply again.
Feeling his strong hands lower to her hips, it was long before Cuddy soon felt the cool air around them kissing her thighs as House slide his hands underneath her dress with her back being pressed into the door behind her.
Within the next few seconds her panties were being pulled down her slender legs by those same skilled hands as they gazed into each others eyes between a few more tempting kisses.
In their next mutual breath, Cuddy willingly stepped out of them, watching silently once more as House tossed the lace yellow thong on top of her purse.
"I told you that you were going to miss me." She whispered to him with a smile, tugging at the waistband of his jeans until they slouched down past his narrow hips along with the boxers he was wearing.
"I don't think I'm the only one whose been missing someone." House whispered back to her in a rugged voice as his right hand moved under her dress once more, finding its way between her thighs and to the amazing wetness now coating his fingertips.
God if she only know what a turn on that was for him. The fact that his kiss alone would have her primed and aching for him to enter inside of her. Causing both his ego and desire for her to soar out of control.
As she leaned her pelvis into his touch, House move his mouth over hers once more, slipping a finger into her entrance, rubbing and stroking her internally as the muscles inside of her gripped the digit tightly, showing him just why she was the best lover he had ever had as her teeth began nipping at his bottom lip with a hunger.
"We have to hurry." Cuddy warned him between gasps, feeling House's hand quickly abandoning her warmth and traveling to her hip next as he then wrapped her leg around his waist, firmly holding her in place against the door while the tip of his penis entered inside of her before being followed quickly by the rest of his shaft.
A muffled cry of passion escaped Cuddy's mouth and landed in the side of House's cheek as the incredible sensation of him filling her so completely with one stroke sent a shiver down her spine.
He started to pump in and out of her with a strong rhythm that made her gasp even more. The urgency in his strokes, the kind that lovers use when the need to reconnect surges forward with a fury past everything else.
His right palm was now pressed firmly into the door behind her. His left arm hooked around her leg, making sure to never let her grow void of him, constantly filling her up time and time again with his hard member that was driving deep into the spot that would make her moan.
Nuzzling her cheek with the stubble of his jaw, House moved his lips to Cuddy's once more. His tongue entering into her mouth and daring her to keep up with him before releasing her from their kiss. Her head dropping down and resting against his shoulder as her hips flexed in time with his now. The thin material of his t-shirt the place where her moans would be stifled for the moment and joined by the sound of a deep groan escaping from his throat that traveled with a heat soaked breath into the hair as the perfect concoction of lust, love and chemisty between them once more caused them to act like lovers who have been starved of each others embrace for years instead of mere days.
"God Lisa...you feel so good." He whispered hoarsely into her hair as the sounds they were making enveloped the cramped utility room while the tight muscles within her drew him deeper inside of her silky heat.
Cuddy's response was to bite down gently onto curve of his neck just above his collar bone. Sucking the taunt flesh into her mouth and causing him to hiss with approval as her pelvis titling up, allowing her clit being bombarded with electricity from the friction they were creating.
They were on fire now. Hips bucking while mouths searched and found each other for a few briefs seconds before pulling away and resting against clothes,shoulders and scant traces of bare skin.
Letting out a deep moan, Cuddy felt her leg being raised up higher in its bent position by House just as her orgasm started racing through her. The motion followed closely by House's own orgasm with her back pressed firmly up against the metal door as a rush of air escaped her lungs while they trembled together from the ecstasy they were both experiencing.
Between their combined heaving breathing the smell of House's cologne was stronger now in the small room, mixed in with the scent of Cuddy's perfume as in the afterglow House lowered Cuddy's leg so she could stand on two feet once more as she kissed him softly on the lips. The combination brought forth by the heat of their bodies as their hearts continued to race the kind of thing that stays with you for a lifetime to remind that you do indeed know what it is like to love someone with everything you have inside of you.
"So…...how was your flight?" House whispered to Cuddy as their foreheads connected, feeling her pulling him closer to her than he thought was possible considering how formed they still were to one another as she laughed the side of his neck with the vibration taking hold of his soul and warming it completely.
*******************************************************
"You are such a naughty girl. If only your mother knew what a little nympho you really are." House said teasingly to Cuddy as she sat in the passenger seat of their car while he drove them over to her mother's house to pick up Jessica.
"And you love every minute of it." Cuddy told him with a broad smile, refusing to be embarrassed by his words. Still reeling from the amazing orgasm she had earlier.
"Never said that I didn't." House replied, looking over at her and deciding the radiant smile displayed on his wife's face currently that arose each time the had another round of fantastic and fulfilling sex was one he would not trade for anything else in the world.
********************************************************
Quietly sneaking into living room of Bill's Martin's home after being created by her mother and Bill with whispered voices and loving smiles, Cuddy fixed her gaze on the sofa where Jessica was sleeping on her belly, with her precious dolly held close to her side and a stray ringlet of her hark hair cascading over her cheek.
Following her into the room, House watched as Cuddy carefully sat down next to their daughter. Her slender hand starting to gently caress Jessica's back with a touch that was filled with love.
The little girl let out a soft groan, much like the one her father would use when he was stirred form his slumber. Her dark eyelashes blinking with the threat of opening as she turned onto her back before they flew open wide with the force of a startled flock of birds, revealing oceans of deep blue irises beneath them.
"Mommy!" The young girl exclaimed in a voice that was still thick with the dream she had been having as she sat up and hugged Cuddy tightly.
"Hey baby." Cuddy cooed softly down to her child, kissing Jess on the crown of her head before her daughter looked up at her.
"I'm so a happy dat you comed home!" Jessica exclaimed with a smile that had her heart on full display as her Cuddy caressed the curve of Jessica's sweet cherub face.
Cuddy laughed softly, the feeling of being so loved by her child more amazing than she had ever imaged it would be. "Daddy told me you were a very good girl while I was gone and that you even swept the floor in the kitchen for me and watered all the plants in the house." She informed her daughter with a smile.
"Uh huh I was! I did all dat and I even learning to take a bath all by myself!" The girl told her mother proudly.
"Really?" Cuddy questioned with interest, glancing over at her husband.
"Well talk about it later." House told her as Ruth and Bill stepped into the room behind him.
********************************************************
"Mom you really didn't have to go to all of this trouble making dinner for everyone just because I've come home." Cuddy remarked as all of them were seated at the dining room table inside her mother's and Bill's home.
"Nonsense Lisa, you had a three hour flight and the last thing you needed to worry about was getting dinner ready for your family." Ruth replied, reaching for her hand as she sat beside her daughter.
"Not really much to worry about when you're just calling up a pizza place down the street." House remarked smartly before shoving a piece of steak into his mouth.
Cuddy gave him a glare. "I think you're confusing your idea of making dinner with mine." She told him while rolling her eyes.
"Mmmmmm! Nana I love dese lil tatos you made!" Jessica suddenly announced while sitting in-between her parents after spearing half of a small, new red potato she had cut up with her fork a few minutes ago…refusing to let her mother help her with the task.
Ruth laughed, "Well thank you honey." She replied, smiling over at her granddaughter.
"Nana. If I eatin all my dinner I get to haven chocolate ice cream for dessert?" The girl then asked sweetly.
"Well….I don't see why not." Ruth answered, glancing over at Lisa who then moved her gaze over to her daughter.
"Jessica exactly how much ice cream did you have while I was away?" Cuddy questioned with interest.
Jessica shoved the potato into her mouth, chewing on it as she thought about her answer, swallowing before she spoke.
"I only have a ice cream one time after me and Daddy went to dat Putt Putt thing. Den later Daddy frow out that frozen yougurt when we get home." Jessica informed her mother happily before stabbing at another piece of potato on her plate.
Cuddy immediatly glared over at her husband."You threw out food that I bought and wanted our child to eat?" Cuddy accused.
"I tried the frozen yogurt. It tasted like crap so I threw it out." House responded back to her in a low tone that was not about to back down.
"Daddy it not nice to say crap. Or dat other word. Dat..a DAMN word. Day both bad words to say." Jessica informed him before placing another potato into her mouth, chewing on the vegetable with a smile as she looked up at him while Ruth and Bill started to laugh at the words the adorable girl had just spoken.
"We'll see how much you remember how bad those words are thirteen years from now when Mommy won't let you stay out past your curfew." House replied back to his daughter before glancing over a Cuddy who stilled looked sexy as hell even though she was currently shotting daggers at him with her eyes.
********************************************************
Later that evening, after returning home with her family, Cuddy walked into the living room with a package behind her back as House sat on the sofa with Jessica beside him watching of all shows….Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel.
"Daddy look dem big crabs! Day gonna bite dem fishermen with dare pinchers!" Jessica told her father with wide eyes as she leaned forward in her seat with her left hand resting on her Daddy's thigh.
"When did she start watching this?" Cuddy questioned to her husband as she stood off to the side of the TV.
"Just now …and what are you hiding behind your back?" House asked with interest.
"My prize for being a big girl!" Jessica yelled as she looked up at her mother with a huge grin.
"You're right." Cuddy confirmed to her daughter as she moved the wrapped package to the front of her body.
"Wow…..dat's a big prize Mommy." Jessica said with an excited whisper as Cuddy placed the brightly wrapped present onto the coffee table in front of the toddler.
"Great…now where's my present?" House asked his wife while Jessica scooted down from the couch and onto the floor, resting on her knees in front of the coffee table as she carefully touched the pink bow on top of the package.
"I think you already got your present in the airport." Cuddy reminded him with a small smile, watching his eyes moved over her body.
"Oh yeah. Remind me to thank you for that later up in bed." House replied with a smirk, with his eyes currently fixated on the tight, v-necked t-shirt she was wearing.
"Mommy it ok if I open it now?" Jessica asked from below them, totally focused on the gift before her.
"Go ahead Jess." Cuddy said as she looked down at the little girl with a smile.
"K!" Jessica replied back to her happily, tearing into the present with enthusiasm.
After exposing the box beneath the wrapping paper, Jessica looked up at her mother.
"Mommy….what dis thing?" She questioned after studying the picture on the box.
"It called a microscope Jess and it lets you see very small things that you wouldn't normally be able to see with you eyes. It also lets you get a closer look at other things you see all the time and let's you see them in a different way." Cuddy explained to her daughter.
"Ah .....and so the overachiever begets this generations overachiever." House muttered with a smartass grin.
"Just help her get the microscope out of the box." Cuddy replied in an even tone.
"Mommy dis a something I play wif?" Jessica asked, still a little confused by the gift while be intrigued with it as well.
Cuddy knelt down before the coffee table as House pulled the microscope, surrounded on all side by white Styrofoam free from the cardboard box.
"You are going to be able to see all kinds of new things with this microscope. Things you didn't even know were there. This is a big girl toy …that you have to be very careful with…understand?" Cuddy told her daughter, speaking slowly while starting to fill Jessica's mind with how very amazing the device really was.
"K…I being real careful." Jessica agreed in a solemn voice back to her mother as the importance Cuddy had given to the microscope along with knowing she was getting a very special gift for big girls grabbed hold of the toddler firmly as she glanced over at her Daddy who had now peeled off the layers of white Styrofoam.
"You gunna teach me how do dat ding?" Jessica asked her Daddy as he began to turn the nob on the side of the microscope, lowering it a bit.
"Better check with the warden and make sure it's ok with her first in case she had other plans." House replied back to his daughter as he looked through the eyepiece of the device.
"It ok wif you Mommy?" Jessica asked quickly without a second of hesitation, causing her father to of course to smile as he looked up from the microscope and over at his wife who remained kneeling before them on the other side of the coffee table.
"Smart kid huh?" He remarked as Cuddy shot him a glare.
********************************************************
After a few minutes House had set up the microscope in front of Jessica on the coffee table. Instructing her to stand up as he went over the different parts of the device with her very slowly. Giving her time to ask questions and absorb all that he was telling her to the best of her three year old ability.
When he was done, House gave his daughter a small smile.
"Think you're going to like this?" He asked her in a whisper.
"Uh huh!" Jessica answered back with an excited grin as the small fingers of her left hand touched the cool metal of the microscope.
House's smile became broader as he studied her face before he turned his head and yelled out into the kitchen at his wife.
"Hey! Are you done yet?" He asked with an annoyed tone to his voice.
"Almost…just give me a few more seconds." Cuddy yelled back at him.
House rolled his eyes and slumped back against the couch.
"At the rate your Mommy is going you'll be sixteen before you even get to look into that microscope." He grumbled to his daughter who had turned to look at him.
"Yeah." Jessica agreed with giggle, not really understanding what her Daddy had said but rather amused at how funny his scrunched up face looked right now as he stared down at her.
"I heard you!" Cuddy yelled out to him, still inside the kitchen.
"Which is why I said it!" House answered back in the same sweet, but oh-so-sarcastic tone she had used a moment before.
"Finally." He then muttered as Cuddy walked back into the living room, carrying with her several small glass sides that would be placed under the microscope.
"Ready Jess?" Cuddy asked her child as she looked up at her.
"Yes Mommy!" Jessica answered as she clapped her hands together.
"Ok." Cuddy said with a small smile as she stood in front of her daughter, "Now I'm going to hand these slides to Daddy so he can put them under the microscope for you. Then we'll have you look at them while I'll tell you what's inside of them." She went on to explain.
"K!" Jessica said in a small excited voice, watching as her Mommy handed the first slide to her Daddy.
Taking the slide from her, House studied his wife's face carefully. The way the woman could entice you with her words and facial expressions having far more power than simply that of seducing him at times as the promise of something fantastic awaiting their daughter was now held sweet and thick in the air around them.
"Daddy…please hurry and put dat slide on da microscope!" Jessica pleaded, interrupting him from his thoughts.
"You got kid." House responded with a smirk over to his daughter as he carefully secured the slide underneath the lens.
"Ok now just like we practiced look into this part and tell us what you see." He then prompted his daughter as his eyes stayed locked onto the face.
"K Daddy." Jessica answered with a soft whisper, leaning down towards the microscope.
"Ah hey? You putting ice cubes in dare Mommy?" The little girl asked immediately as her both of her eyes widened while her right one looked down into the eyescope of the device before her head snapped up towards her mother waiting for an explanation.
"Jessica ….that's salt from the salt shaker on the kitchen table." Cuddy said with a small smile.
Stunned, the little girl looked through the eye piece again.
"Dat can't be em salt. It too big." Jessica said to herself with a furrowed brow before moving her head to the side, away from the eye piece and looking down at the slide underneath the magnifying lens.
Placing her hand up to her mouth, Cuddy held back her laughter that was filled with joy and amusement at seeing the actions of her puzzled daughter right now.
"The microscope makes the salt look bigger Jess..…but it's still the same size." House informed his daughter as she looked down into the eyepiece again.
"So it like dat big thing you showed me before Daddy? Dat round glass thing you hold in your hand like dis dat makes em stuff bigger?" Jessica asked her father, looking up at him as she mimicked holding onto a magnifying glass in her left hand.
House smiled at her, prouder than hell at how the girl with his blue eyes could connect things so easily with the effort of child much older than she was.
"Yep, its just like that except this microscope is stronger than the magnifying glass….kind of like how Daddy is stronger than Wilson." He told Jess with a grin, knowing that Cuddy was at that very moment rolling her eyes at him.
Jessica smiled back at him as her button nose crinkled. "Dat's cool." She said with a small grin, using the words she heard her Daddy say from time to time that had both of her parents laughed.
Shaking her head, Cuddy offered another slide to House. "Ready to see some more cool things? She asked her daughter.
"Uh huh!" Jessica replied with an enthusiastic nod.
House shared a smile with Cuddy as he removed the currently slide under the lens, replacing it with the slide his wife had just given him.
"Go ahead and take a look." He then urged his daughter, anxious too see her reaction along with the amazement that would follow after Cuddy would tell their child what she was studying through the lens of the microscope.
Jessica leaned forward once more and looked through the eyepiece.
"What do you think that is Jess?" Cuddy asked her daughter as she watched her little girl thoroughly engrossed by what she was seeing.
"Dis look like umm dem things on a tree." Jessica tried to explain, looking up at her mother.
"Leaves?" Cuddy asked.
"Umm no. Dem things go like dis." Jessica replied hold her arms up to the ceiling.
"Branches?" House questioned after seeing what she had done.
"Yeah..dem branches on em tree. Dis look like dat Mommy. You find um little tree in here somewhere?" Jess asked.
Cuddy chuckled softly. "Jess honey that's Mommy's hair." She told her daughter.
Again Jessica furrowed her brow, tilting her head back down to look into the eyepiece.
"Dat your hair? It looking like it a having a bark on dare Mommy!"
"Bark huh?" Cuddy asked with smile, loving how developed her daughter's vocabulary was.
"Yeah it have dem little barks on there." Jessica answered while keeping her head down and her right eye focused on the slide before her.
"You wanna see it Mommy?" She then asked raising her head up.
"Ok." Cuddy said with a nod, walking around the coffee table and getting ready to sit on the opposite side of Jess until the little girl moved up onto her Daddy's lap…thereby letting Cuddy sit right next to them.
Cuddy leaned and looked into the eyepiece."Wow….I really need to use more conditioner." She commented.
"A little Loreal hair coloring wouldn't hurt either." House remarked smartly.
"Are you sure you want to talk gray hair with me?" Cuddy asked while glancing up at her husband's scalp with an arched eyebrow.
"They're blond highlights." House countered, dramatically running his right hand through his hair.
"Daddy what a highlight?" Jessica asked looked up at her father from her resting place on his left thigh amidst her parent's conversation.
"That's Daddy's way of saying gray hair Jess." Cuddy answered without missing a beat as she smiled evilly over at her husband.
House narrowed his eyes at her, "I assume you have another slide for Jess to look at." He replied to her in a dry voice.
Cuddy let out a small laugh before addressing her daughter. "Well Jess, are you ready to look at another slide?" She asked.
"Yes huh!" The little girl said with an enthusiastic nod.
Nodding in response to her daughter's words, this time Cuddy was the one who removed the old slide and replaced it with the next one resting in the palm of her hand.
"Ok Jess now before you look into the microscope this time I'm going to tell what's on that slide." She informed her daughter.
"K." Jessica replied while crawling over to her mother's lap so that she was directly in front of the microscope once more.
"Remember the other day when you and Nana picked some flowers out in the yard and put them in a vase before setting them on the kitchen table where they are now?" Cuddy asked.
"Yep I member dat….me and Nana getted all kinds of flowers to surprise you for when you comed home!" Jessica responded with a smile as her mother smiled back at her in return.
"Well when I was out in the kitchen a little bit ago I took some water from that vase and put it on the slide." Cuddy explained to her daughter, glancing over at House briefly while knowing he was going to love seeing Jessica's reaction once she viewed the next slide.
Hanging on her ever word, Jess shifted her weight on her mother's lap.
"K. So I gonna look at dat now?" The little girl asked.
"Yep, now get down off of Mommy's lap so you can stand in front of the microscope just like you were before." Cuddy instructed to her daughter.
The little girl quickly complied with an eager smile on her face as Cuddy felt House's arm move around her back and grasp onto the side of her hip in order to pull her a little closer to him.
Looking over at House with a warm smile, Cuddy crossed her legs at the ankles and off to the side as Jess leaned forward to look into the eyepiece once more before resting her head against his shoulder.
The contact he had made with her was something that would surface in him time and time again during what she knew were the most comforting of times for him. The subtle touches he would initiate that held the soft whisper of a romantic gesture within them, telling her without him having to speak a word how grateful he truly was for what they had built together. That despite all the arguments, power plays and sometimes incessant teasing between.... the type of love they shared is what warmed him during the cold nights when the pain in his leg came sharp and quick from deep within him every so often as the ghost that had been born from his surgery where muscle had died was unwilling to completely leave him no matter how much he continued to exercise his thigh. The love they shared cutting through the darkness that in the past had left him alone, with a bottle of scotch inside his apartment. The anchor she placed upon his heart one that assure him that the daughter they had created who had brought tremendous joy into both of their lives would never have to see her Father broken and crying out in defeat to the ghost of pain that sometimes plagued him.
As House lips brushed against her temple, Cuddy closed her eyes briefly in response, acknowledging the unspoken words between them before opening them once more and watching her small child take in a gasp of surprise as one of her brilliant blue eyes focused in on the slide beneath the lens of the microscope.
"Mommy! Daddy! Dare's bugs in dat water!" Jessica suddenly announced to them both with shock, turning her head sharply in the direction of her parents before looking down into the eyepiece again.
"Oh my! Dare em all kinds bugs swimming round in dat water you guys!" The girl added with utter awe and amazement, looking up at her parents once more as her world had just had a very big door opened up to her which promised unlimited discoveries for her underneath the lens of a microscope.
