I just watched the season finale of In Plain Sight. I have to wait until spring to finish the cliffhanger, which is going to drive me insane.

Telephone Line

Everyone spent the rest of the day talking about the baby. House wondered how some people could spend hours talking about a baby that wasn't even born yet. House was happy when everyone headed to go get ready for bed. Cuddy was in the kitchen washing dishes when House walked in.

"You okay?" Cuddy asked House when he walked in. "You got kind of quiet."

"And you are complaining?" House asked.

"No," Cuddy said. "I just want to make sure that you are okay."

"I'm fine," House said. "I just didn't realize how a baby makes people so talkative."

"Is someone jealous they were not getting all the attention?" Cuddy asked in a baby voice. "Your mommy is going to love you just as much as the new baby."

"I am not jealous of that," House said as he wrapped his arms around Cuddy and kissed her neck. "I am jealous that you did not focus enough on me today."

"You are going to get a nice cuddle fest tonight," Cuddy said.

"I would complain that isn't good enough, but with our here, that is about as good as it is going to get for us."

"Just remember that it is only for a couple of days," Cuddy said.

"Until my mom says that she wants to move in with us to help with the baby," House said.

"We can't let her do that," Cuddy said. "If your mom gets to stay, my mom will want to stay."

"Then if your mom comes, I am pretty sure that your dad will want to come," House said.

"He would," Cuddy said. "He is worried that you are going to leave me and the baby."

"Do you worry about that?" House asked.

"No," Cuddy said.

"You're lying," House said. "I worry that you might leave me."

"Why?" Cuddy asked as she turned around in House's arms and looked at him.

"Because I am human," House said. "I'm not stupid. I can't predict the future."

"I kind of told my dad the same thing," Cuddy said.

"I never plan on leaving you Cuddy," House said. "If you turn into a homicidal maniac, my plan might change."

"Back at you," Cuddy said.

When everyone went to bed, House and Cuddy cuddled together on the fold-away. At 2:30, House's cell phone went off.

"Oh, crap," House said as he rolled over and grabbed his phone. "What?"

"We have a case," Foreman said.

"You mean you have a case," House said. "I am on vacation."

"We have a college student bleeding out of his eyes," Foreman said.

"I am assuming that you have already run the usual suspects on him," House said.

"I wouldn't have called you if we were not stumped," Foreman said.

"I'll be there in the hour," House said. House got up and went to his and Cuddy's bedroom to get some clothes and his bag. House tried to be as quiet as possible to not wake Grandma Cuddy up.

"You didn't need to sneak into my room," Grandma Cuddy said when she woke up after hearing House looking through the closet. "I would have just invited you in here with me."

"It will have to wait until another time," House said. "I have to go to the hospital for a case."

"I'll keep an eye on Lisa for you," Grandma Cuddy said.

"Don't let her smoke any of my marijuana," House said.

"I meant to make sure that she is okay, but I will do that too," Grandma Cuddy said.

"If she asks for any weird food that we do not have in the house, there is a small 24 hour store down the road," House said.

"Hurry back," Grandma Cuddy said.

"I'll hook up with you later," House said with a smile. "I mean, I'll see you later." House went into the bathroom and got changed. After House got changed and ready to leave, he went to pick up his keys, which woke Cuddy up.

"Where are you going?" Cuddy asked.

"I got called to the hospital," House said. "Go back to sleep."

"Wait," Cuddy said as she got out of bed. Cuddy went over to House and gave him a kiss. Cuddy then zipped House's coat up. "It's cold out there," Cuddy said.

"Your maternal instincts are really coming out," House said.

"I want to make sure that I practice before the baby comes," Cuddy said.

"I'll scream tomorrow and let you feed me so that you can practice that too," House said.

"I'm sure people might find that a little weird," Cuddy said.

"They already think I weird, so I don't care," House said.

"They do not think I am weird yet, so I do care," Cuddy said.

"They do think you are weird Cuddy," House said. "You're dating me."

"I am the good kind of weird then," Cuddy said. "I am a genius for realizing how great you are."

"Do you want to come with me?" House asked. "We can have sex in your office."

"I think I should be here when everyone wakes up," Cuddy said.

"Page me if you change your mind," House said. "I'll be in your office waiting."
