I'm So Excited

House and Freddie came back upstairs about 10 minutes later.

"Are you guys done talking about me?" House asked when he came back into the room.

"Since you came back into the room, I guess we are," Grandma Cuddy said with a smile.

"You can talk about how wonderful I am when I am in the room," House said. "I don't mind." House went and sat down next to Cuddy.

"So, how is everything?" Blythe asked House and Cuddy.

"Same old, same old," House said, knowing what his mother was fishing for.

"Nothing new and exciting?" Blythe asked. It had been killing Blythe that she could not brag that she was going to be a grandmother. She was really hoping that House and Cuddy were going to announce it on this trip so that she could tell everyone.

"I got some new headphones," House said. "I found that to be exciting."

"How about you Lisa?" Grandma Cuddy asked.

"Yeah," Cuddy said. "I have something." Cuddy couldn't tell if she was really nervous to tell everyone or really excited.

"It can't be more exciting than headphones," John said sarcastically.

"Shut up, John," Blythe said. "Go ahead, Lisa." With everyone staring at her, Cuddy felt like she might vomit. Cuddy finally took a breath and let it loose.

"I'm pregnant," Cuddy said. Everyone's jaws almost fell off except for Blythe's and Grandma Cuddy's. Blythe immediately got up and went over to Cuddy to give her a big hug.

"Congratulations," Blythe said as Cuddy got up to give her a hug.

"You're pregnant?" Laura asked in shock, tears starting to form in her.

"That is what she said, isn't it?" Grandma Cuddy said.

"My baby is going to have a baby," Laura said as she got and gave Cuddy a giant hug. When Laura was done hugging Cuddy, she looked at House.

"Oh, Greg," Laura said walking over to him.

"Oh, no," House said as he reluctantly got up so that Laura could hug him.

"Congratulations son," Laura said.

"Thanks," House said.

"We are going to be grandmothers together!" Laura said to Blythe. The mothers shared a hug between themselves.

"Congratulations sweetie," Calvin said to Cuddy. Cuddy could tell that her dad was not as excited as she thought he was going to be.

"John, don't you have something to say to them?" Blythe said to John.

"I hope you don't screw up your kids life as much as you screwed up your own," John said. Grandma Cuddy went and smacked the back of her hand against John's forehead.

"Are you insane Grandma Cuddy?" House asked when he saw her hit his father.

"He's not going to hit me," Grandma Cuddy.

"I am glad that at least you think that," House said.

"So, give us details," Blythe said. "What is your due date? Do you know the sex yet?"

"Slow down, mom," House said. "Give her some time to comprehend what you are saying"

"The due date is April 5th," Cuddy said.

"A spring baby," Laura said.

"And we just found out that we are having a boy," Cuddy said.

"I am going to have a grandson!" Blythe said, almost yelling.

"I think she might be a little excited," House said.

"How have your doctor visits been going?" Calvin asked Cuddy.

"Doctor's visits?" House said. "I knew we were forgetting something."

"Everything is fine," Cuddy said. "The baby and I are perfectly healthy."

"You are not really even showing," Laura said.

"You guys may not be able to tell, but I can tell when I put my pants on in the morning," Cuddy said.

"Believe me," House said. "I can tell every time she sits or lays on me. That part of the body goes numb." Cuddy gave House a quick hit in the chest.

"Did you guys just witness that abuse?" House said.

"Man up," Grandma Cuddy said.

"Mama, she was mean to me," House said to his mother.

"Telling mommy?" Cuddy said with a smile. "Way to man up."

"I am glad we are having a boy," House said. "You Cuddy women are the devil. Not you Mrs. Cuddy. At least not yet."

"That is because I married into the Cuddy name," Laura said. "The devil, as you put it, must be from Calvin's side of the family."

"Just wait until the baby is born and Lisa is not getting that much sleep," Calvin said. "You better get up and help or sleep with a hand covering a certain region.

"I'll go buy a cup," House said.
