After much deliberation, House talked Cuddy into Monmouth Beach instead of Myrtle Beach because of moving. Myrtle Beach was put on hold for a few years but she still wanted to go.
Three weeks later, they left for their long weekend at Monmouth Beach. Rachel was thrilled. She loved the water and was excited at the thought of building sandcastles and swimming. They spent the whole weekend playing, swimming, relaxing, and just enjoying being a family. It was an excellent decompression before the house remodel and big move.
After closing on the house, work immediately began on remodeling the house. Cuddy wanted to turn the green house attached to the master bedroom into a yoga studio. She also wanted to redo the master bathroom by putting in a spa shower and a whirlpool tub. The upstairs bonus room and bedroom entry needed to be reconfigured. In addition, the whole home was repainted and general sprucing up. Once she was finally satisfied, the big move was made. It was tiring and time consuming even though professional movers were hired to complete the task. Blythe decided on buying Cuddy's home so she would have room for guests to stay with her.
The first night in the new house was going really well. Cuddy had been worried about Rachel but she loved her new room. She adjusted extremely well and fell asleep while House read her "If I Ran The Zoo" by Dr. Seuss. After he finished and tucked her in, he made his way to the living room and looked out at the backyard. Cuddy stood behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She started kissing his back.
"Are you happy here?" Cuddy asked.
"Yep. It's beautiful. We have plenty of space for all of our stuff. My piano looks great in here. We even have room for Arlene and Julia when they visit next weekend."
"Come on. Let's go to bed." They slowly walked to their bedroom. "I'm going to fill up the tub. Want to join me?"
"Dr. Cuddy, are you trying to seduce me?"
She just smiled. "You know it stud." After the tub filled up and the bath oils were added, they removed their clothes and stepped into tub. "Oooh, this feels so good."
"Oh yeah. We should do this every night. Turn around. Let me massage your back."
"Mmmmm. Right there. Harder." Cuddy moaned. "We should definitely do this every night."
House chuckled. "Wanna do the Bathtub Boogie?" House reclined back in the tub and Cuddy straddled him facing his feet. She lowered herself on his shaft. She leaned forward and put her hands on the tub bottom. He massaged her ass as she rode him. "God, I love your ass. Just like that. Mmmm." House leaned forward and lightly bit her ass. "You are so beautiful."
"Mmmm. You like this big guy?"
"Yesssss." Their screams of pleasure filled the room as they rode out their orgasms. "I told you it was better for the kid to be away from us."
"Shut up."
"You need to work on your post-coital talk, horn dog. Come up here and let me give the twins some attention."
"I'm the horn dog?! You're the one who wants to feel me up." Cuddy got out of the tub and dried off. House followed her.
"You mad?"
Cuddy smiled and crawled on the bed. She was lying on her back and looking at him seductively. "Patty and Selma are waiting."
He lay down beside her and rolled onto his side. "Hello girls. I'm sorry I neglected you earlier. I promise to make it up to you." He started kissing, licking, nipping her breast, and sucking on her nipple. "Mmmm. You taste so good."
Cuddy gasped. "Oh God. That feels soooo gooooood." She had her hands on the back of his head directing his attention right where she wanted it. "Mmmmmm. Just like that." He moved to the other breast and continued his actions. "God, right there. Ooooh. Aaaaaaah. Don't stop. Please don't stop. Moooooooore. Mmmmmm." She pulled his hair so he would look up at her. She immediately pulled him up to her mouth, kissing him, and slipping her tongue in his mouth. She reached down and began kneading his ass cheeks and sucking on his earlobe. "I need more." He reached down and massaged her clit. "Yesssss." She was in a frenzy. "Pleeeeeaseee." He slowly slid in her and began thrusting. "Sooo gooooood." He tilted her hips so he would penetrate deeper. "Harder. Faster. Just like that." Her orgasm wracked her body triggering his release shortly thereafter.
He moved lower down her body, kissing and licking along the way. Once his face was between her legs, he began licking, kissing, and sucking her. "Mmmmm. You taste so good. I could eat you all night long." He kept up his barrage on her happy place for over a half hour. "Come for me. That's it. Come for me again." He continued his assault on her. "Yummm."
"I can't!"
"Yes you can. Come for me again. Mmmm. You taste so good. I could stay here all night." He licked and sucked on her. After another intense orgasm, he still kept his face between her legs. "Again. Come for me again."
"Oh, my god. Greg. Mmmmmm. That feels sooo good. Aaaah."
"Come again." He kept licking, sucking, kissing. "You are so beautiful. Come for me, Lisa." So, she did again and again and again. After a numerous orgasms, she was totally spent. "I love you."
"I love you too." Completely satisfied, he rolled on his back and she rolled on her side draping her body on him.
"Was it good for you?"
"Do you even need to ask?" She looked up and grinned at him. "You know it was. Was it good for you?"
"Oh yeah. I definitely want to spend more nights like this."
"Me too. I think it can be arranged." He smiled and held her closer. "Thank you for making me feel beautiful and loved." She kissed his chest.
"Believe me. It was my pleasure." He kissed the top of her head. They drifted off to sleep in each other's arms for the remainder of the night.
A few days later, House was nervous. The representative from Family Services was coming for the home visit to determine her final recommendation for Rachel's adoption. Cuddy had nerves of steel. She felt confident that the adoption would go through.
"How did you get this pushed through so fast?"
"I know people."
After the home visit, the court date in Family Court was set for Friday. How did she do that so fast? The judge reviewed the recommendations and interviews and questioned House. House assured the judge that he was committed to taking care of Rachel. After careful consideration, the judge agreed to the adoption. House and Cuddy were both excited and relieved. They decided to have a small family celebration that night since Arlene and Julia would be coming for a visit. Cuddy went to the grocery store to pick up the food and House went on an errand which was actually shopping for a gift for Rachel. After finding the perfect gift, he made his way home to his family. Family, something he never thought he would have, sounded really nice. Arlene, Julia, Michael, and their kids arrived around 6:00 that night. Blythe and Wilson arrived shortly thereafter to join the celebration.
"I love your new house Lisa."
"Thanks Julia."
"House, Rachel, and I have an announcement to make. Rachel, do you want to tell them what happened today?"
"Uh huh. Daddy adopted me like mommy did. I'm gonna be Rachel Cuddy-House now. He give me this necklace too. See it?" Rachel showed her grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousins her new necklace. It was a simple rope chain with a heart pendant. On the front of the heart was 'Daddy's Girl' and engraved on the back 'Love Always Dad'.
"Congratulations Rachel. That's so pretty." Everyone oohed and aahed over the necklace and the adoption news. Rachel was jumping and dancing so excited about her gift and having her daddy be official now. House was uncomfortable over the attention on him but loved how Rachel beamed with excitement. His heart soared to see how happy she was about the adoption. Who would have thought the 'miserable bastard' would have such emotions? Certainly not him in the past but now he just couldn't help himself. He loved his family and he would do anything in the world to protect them.
