Chapter Eleven: The Invitations

"How about we invite the whole team? And the previous one?" Thirteen asked House excitedly.

They were both sitting on the floor with a table in front of them, flooded with invitation cards and envelopes. House had finally decided on a date and they wasted no time in the planning. Thirteen had gotten a wonderful wedding gown made and House had gotten a smart suit.

"I suppose…" House agreed and Thirteen quickly started addressing the cards to them.

"How about Cuddy and your mom?" asked Thirteen.

"Oh, come on!" House whined.

"My dad's coming. I invited a couple of my close friends too. Just them. No more. Please?" begged Thirteen.

House grudgingly agreed. As much as he didn't want his mother to come, she was still his mother and had some right to come. He knew how excited Thirteen was and so he wanted her to enjoy it. Anyway, it wasn't that big of an event too. Just the teams, Cuddy, his mom, her dad and a couple of Thirteen's friends. Wilson was going to be his best man. Some of Thirteen's friend's kids are going to be the flower girls. Despite the short invite list, she still managed to get loads of things done. She was that capable.

While he was thinking, Thirteen had managed to get all the invites addressed and placed them into the envelopes.

"Okay. Your turn. I addressed them, now it's your turn to get them mailed." She said.

That wasn't such a tough job. He just had to get them to the post office and let the postman do the rest. House hugged her, got up and left for the post office.

"Did you receive a wedding invitation from House and Thirteen?" Kutner asked Foreman during lunchtime.

"Yeah. You too huh?" Foreman answered.

"Uh huh." Murmured Kutner.

"We got it too. The invites. If that's what you're talking about." Said Cameron, with Chase walking up behind her.

"I guessed it's confirmed then. That they're getting married." Said Taub, who pulled a chair up to the table.

"I heard Wilson's the best man. Oh, and Cuddy's invited too." Chase added.

"How do you know all this?" asked Kutner.

"I asked Wilson." Replied Chase simply.

"Dr. House speaking." Said House as he picked up the phone.

"Hi Greg! It's your mom. Just letting you know that I'll be coming over to help with your wedding. I hope you don't mind." Replied House's mother cheerfully.

"Oh mom, Thir- Remy's fine over here. You don't have to come all the way down here so early." House attempted to prevent his mother from coming earlier. He hadn't told her that Thirteen was pregnant.

"No-no. It's absolutely no trouble at all. I don't mind. Well, I'll see you in a few days' time. I'm so happy for my boy. Congratulations!" said House's mother.

"Thanks mom…" he trailed off and put down the phone.

"Who was it?" asked Thirteen.

"My dear mother. She's coming here to help." Muttered House.
