Yay! Glad you all like the chapter, of course I would have House save both of them, after all he is Super Detective Doc!!!! I hope you like this chapter, (I rather enjoyed writing it) it's quite fluffy, though you all deserved it after the past few drama chapters, so enjoy the HUDDY goodness.

Chapter 10- Bed Rest

After discovering her new illness and a couple of weeks of resting, Cuddy was back at work and feeling relatively normal after her worst nightmare had almost come true. And thankfully now that they knew what they were dealing with, House and Cuddy's son was safe as well now. But two months after that, the stress of her job and Diabetes was getting to her, so she was given more shocking news from Dr. Dalton. "What?" Cuddy asked in disbelief. "I have to spend the next two months in bed!" House heard her cry as for once he listened to the advice. "I can't, I have my job to do."

"Lisa, it's only two months, then you'll be back. You're lucky we still have our son. And you've recently been diagnosed as a Brittle Diabetic, you have to stay home." House said gently, being the voice of reason.

"I guess." She said quietly. "But I just have to sit on my ass for the next two months. It's gonna be so awful and boring."

"I'm sorry Lisa but any strain will be harmful to the baby." Dalton advised. And so that was the way it was.

20th November 2007

"Hey did you know that the girl from 'General Hospital' is going out with the guy from 'Passions'." Cuddy said as they lay in bed that afternoon. She was reading 'People' magazine which House had an unashamed interest in and had delivered. Cuddy had berated him many a time to chuck them out and stop wasting his time with them, but since being stuck in bed all day she had become addicted to them, not to mention his soaps.

House just gave her a look and smirked at her.

"What?" She asked defensively. "I'm stuck in bed all day. While that may seem like heaven to you, it isn't for me. You won't even let me sit on the couch."

"Well if it helps, I'm only keeping our boy safe you can look out for yourself." House said resting a hand on her every growing belly. Even though she was only 7 months pregnant House thought she was positively gorgeous, and yes it may have something to do with her slightly larger breasts, one perk for him of pregnancy, amongst the raging hormones.

"Oh I feel so loved." She moaned.

"Oh don't listen to her kidlet, she's just jealous because I have to share my love out more now." House said leaning his head to her belly.

Cuddy smiled and ruffed up his hair. "Get me a drink."

"Knew I was gonna pay for it." House grumbled as he retreated to the Kitchen.

Cuddy smiled, she was gonna have House limping around a lot. Even if he was a cripple, it was gonna be fun to have her own personal servant.

HHHHHHHHHH

24th November 2007

"So what happened today?" Cuddy bombarded House as he entered the bedroom. He smiled and handed her a pile of papers.

"Here are some documents which must have your signature on specifically." Cuddy smiled gleefully and clutched them to her chest.

"Work. Oh I'm so happy. It's the highlight of my week." She exclaimed, looking over them.

House flopped onto the bed and nuzzled her neck. "You should stay in bed more often, you're starting to become as strange as me. Other than the paperwork though, it's pretty much been a snooze fest." His hand wandered down to her belly and he began rubbing it, letting their son know Daddy was home.

"Ow." Both Cuddy and House cried as the baby kicked.

"That was a pretty hard kick." House said.

"I know, he's gonna be an active one."

"Great." House grumbled as he fingered his cane regretfully. "Yeah well he won't be running around with me. Why? Because I'm be old and crippled, what every kid wants for a Dad."

"Please, you'll only be 63 when he starts dating, you can give him all your tips then."

"Yeah and you'll be 57, practically ancient."

Cuddy frowned and looked away sadly.

"Hey you alright Cuddles. I was only joking, you'll always look beautiful." He said kissing her reassuringly.

"It's not that. Just we are pretty old to be first time parents."

"So, that's us, we never do things by the norm."

"Yeah and that's how our kids are gonna live. There'll be a lot of things we won't be able to do with them."

"You mean, I won't." House said pointedly.

"Well yeah." Cuddy said averting her eyes. "I know I was the one who said not for you to worry but what if our kid want to play Soccer or Basketball?"

"I can cheer from the sidelines. Besides our kid won't be a Jock, they'll be a Geek."

"What?"

"Well what do you expect from two Doctors."

Cuddy laughed. Yeah, maybe their kid would be different but they didn't mean they wouldn't love them any less.

HHHHHHHHHH

31st December 2007

"Hmmm." Cuddy murmured that evening. It was a month later and House was at his usual spot resting his head on her belly. It was almost the beginning of a new year and they were spending a quiet night in, after a pretty uneventful Christmas with many gifts for their still unborn baby. House silently thanked Cuddy's numerous family members because now it meant he didn't have to buy any baby stuff, they practically had everything.

"What?" House said rather grumpily. He had already made her dinner and gotten her two helpings of ice-cream, he was hoping for a rest for the time being.

"Come here." Cuddy beckoned. House obliged and lay next to her. She took his face in her hands and began studying him intently.

"What are you doing Lissie?"

"Definitely sky blue." She said, she then picked up the mirror and stared at her own eyes. "Grey-Blue." She estimated. She looked back at House who was still giving her an odd look. "I'm just deciding what eye colour I want our boy to have?"

"Oh right." House nodded along cheerfully. "Not that we can decide."

"I think we've done what we can there but I can still hope."

"Yes, no harm there. Whose then?"

"Yours of course, yours are just so much prettier."

"Prettier." House scoffed. "Excuse me, but these eyes are not pretty, they are…" But he was truly at a loss of words to describe the calming, serene colour in a manly way. "Pretty." He said resignedly. "Fine he can have my eyes but he's gotta have my quick wit too." Cuddy laughed and gave him a kiss.

HHHHHHHHHH

6th January 2008

"I'm horizontally challenged." Cuddy cried, as she walked with her hands covering her eyes.

"Stop complaining. At least you're out of bed." House said as he gently pushed and led her from behind. Soon enough they came to one of the spare bedrooms which was now the baby's room. And after many months and much work from Wilson, the room had finally been decorated. Cuddy had been banned from the room till it was finished.

She was just happy to get out of bed and not be going to the bathroom.

"OK. Open them." House cried as they stood in the doorway. Cuddy did as she was told and saw their brand new room. Wilson stood the other side of her and smiled proudly.

"It's beautiful." She exclaimed truthfully. It had been decorated a pale blue colour with a colourful jungle motif banner going round the room. The roof was a neutral white, and the carpet was the softest, nicest material Cuddy had ever felt under her feet. There was a white crib, a changing table, a dresser, even a window seat which overlooked the backyard and everything all ready for them, clothes, diapers, equipment, enough to keep them busy for a while. Next to the crib was a rocking chair which Cuddy planted herself in.

"You like it?" House asked expectedly.

"I do, I love it."

"Thank God."

"You should have seen him, who knew Greg House would go crazy over colour schemes." Wilson sneered.

"Hey at least I care enough about my wife to be idiotic about colours." House retorted. This prompted a bitching match about marriage between House and Wilson, as Cuddy sat back and rocked, looking at her two favourite boys. Though they would soon be having competition from another.

HHHHHHHHHH

14th January 2008

"Happy Valentine's Day." House called as he settled onto the bed.

"That's a month away." Cuddy groused, feeling particularly irritable that day.

"I know but I needed an excuse to give you a present." House paused dramatically. "You…can get out of bed."

"Yippee!" Cuddy cried sarcastically. "Let me guess, I get a bath."

"Hey it's something, maybe if you wanna push yourself we can take a walk over to the baby's room." House said even though it was only a few feet away down the corridor. Cuddy rolled her eyes and held her hands out so House could pull her up. Only a couple of weeks to go, and Cuddy felt as if she had been pregnant for 10 months already, not that she had any other pregnancy to compare it to, but she was certainly different to other pregnant women.

After her bath and little walk, Cuddy was returned back to bed.

"Aargh, this is so infuriating. Why did you do this to me?" Cuddy accused. Even though she knew it took two people to make a baby, she couldn't help blaming House. She was just irritable from being stuck in bed all the live long day. House simply smiled and put up with it, after all Cuddy had when he had complained about his leg all those times.

"I couldn't help it. You just looked so sexy, I couldn't resist you."

"Yeah well that won't be happening for a while." Cuddy moaned. "God, I can't even have sex!" She yelled. "You better love this kid because we're not having anymore."

House couldn't help laughing and this just infuriated Cuddy more, until she turned away from him as he giggled away like an idiot. After he had calmed down he propped Cuddy up on a couple of cushions so she was sitting in front of him and began massaging her shoulders and back.

"Thank you." She said.

"Anything for you." He said nuzzling her neck.

"Are you giving me a hickey?"

"Maybe."

"Oh, Greg."

"What? You gave me one and I had to go to work with it."

"That wasn't me." Cuddy joked. "Must be your other sex buddy."

"Oh yeah, my secret work hooker."

Cuddy laughed as her muscles finally began relaxing a little.
