Some people have asked me what was going on with Cuddy and the new baby. Well, I just wanted to explain that I'm trying my best to work with the current episodes. So, the new baby is actually from Becca Robb. And while I'm writing this, I would like to personally thank all of you who have reviewed this particular story. I would also like to thank you who are reading this story. Anyway, I'm rambling, so just thank you!

"Come in," I opened the door enough for her to enter, and then closed it behind her. "Okay, explain." I sat her down on the couch.

"Well, you know that I had been on IVF for the longest time."

"Oh, my God are you pregnant?"

"No. I put an ad on an adoption agency website, and a mother who's almost nine months along, picked mine. I'm going be a mother again."

Her face was glowing, and her eyes were so bright. She was so happy. "I'm happy for you. I really am."

"I'm so excited." She leaned over, and gave me this huge hug that I wasn't exactly comfortable with, but that's okay. "Reese, I want you to move back home."

I pulled out of the hug and shook my head. "No. I'm sorry."

"But, I want you to be around for your new sister-"

"Mom, we fight way too much, and I don't want that to reflect on the kid." Okay, part of it was true, we fight a lot, but I could care less about the kid. I really don't like children. I kind of despise them really. I only tolerate the one's at the library because I don't have to actually speak to them.

"But Reese-"

"No. I'm so sorry. Look, I'll send her a birthday card and a Hanukkah present every year for all eternity, but no matter what, you and I will find a way to fight about something. I think she would grow up better, if I was just a name on a card."

Her face fell. "But, don't you want to get to know your little sister?"

I shook my head. "Not really. I don't like kids mom. I really hate them. They're rude, and they make noise, and they run to their parents at the tiniest little thing." I saw her become worried, and I tried to fix the damage I had made. "No no no no no, don't worry, you'll be a great mom. You were with me. I was just too screwed up because of House. I'm just too much like him. You were a really good mom. Oh God, now I'm rambling."

"Reese, it's okay." She was disappointed. Great. "I understand."

"Mom, I love you. A lot. And I just want you to be happy. If this kid makes you happy, then go for it. Have fun with it. If dating Asher makes you happy, then go call him right now."

"Where are you going with this?"

"You may think that I make you happy, but I don't. Hell, I don't even make me happy. I want you to have the best life, and that's one without me."

"No-"

"Yes. Look, once you and House realize you're meant for one another, your not going to want two House's running around." She gave the smallest smile and chuckle. "I promise, I won't be a stranger. I'll come back for breaks, and everything. I mean, yes, the next time you're going to see me for more than a day after I leave will be Christmas break, but I'll keep tabs with you. Promise."

It had been two and a half weeks since Cuddy and I had that heart to heart conversation. I can't believe that Rebecca would do that to her. How dare she steal away Cuddy's dream just because of one look? I swear, if I knew her, I would have beaten her into submission, I would've. At this very moment, I was sitting next to Cuddy on the floor of the new baby's room. She was so depressed. I'm going to make her happy, I swear to God I will. She deserves to be happy. And I thought the least I could do, was to be there for moral support. So we were sitting in silence, staring at the ugly yellow wall. Apparently she liked it, so I wasn't going to say anything. Then, came the knock on the door.

She got up, and ambled towards it. "It's really not the greatest time for gloating." I heard her say, but to whom?

"There's more than one baby in the sea. World's full of teenage boys running bareback." House. Definitely.

"No. I'm done. I can't go through that again."

"You're quitting? Just like you quit IVF?" I didn't know she quit.

"Yeah, just like that."

"There you just did it again." She chuckled a little. "It's too bad. You were a great mother."

That one sentence pissed her off. "You son of a bitch. When I was getting a baby, you said I'd suck as a mother, now that I've lost it, you tell me I'd be great as a mother. Why do you need to negate everything?" Oh God, she was beginning to cry again.

"I don't know." He mumbled. And then, I heard something interesting. I heard smacking noises that could only lead to one conclusion: They kissed. By the sound of it a good kiss too. "Night." The door opened...

"Good night." ...and closed. Cuddy just stood there unbelievingly. After the door closed, I got up and came out to her with a shocked look on my face. My mouth was open and my eyes were wide. She got one look at me and said, "Shut up." Before hading to her own room.

The next day, right after the Kid's Hour, I ambled into House's office to find him banging his ball against the wall. I stopped in front of his desk, and crossed my arms in front of my chest, and just stood there.

After a minute or so of my just standing there, he finally acknowledged my presence. "What?" He turned and I gave him the hardest stare he had ever received.

"If you hurt her, I'm going to kill you." His eyebrows knitted together and I continued to stare him down. A moment later, Wilson came walking in, and House's eyes went from me to him.

I turned around, and Wilson stared confusedly. "Am I interrupting something?"

"No." I said, and quickly walked out.

When they were alone, Wilson said, "What was that all about?"

He just shook his head, "Nothing."
