-1"Hey," Amy whispered as she entered Cuddy's living room. "Sorry I'm so late."

"No problem. We had a good day," Cuddy said waking up and brushing her hand through Ben's hair. "He's such a good boy."

"That's why I keep him. At least for part of the year," Amy said picking up Ben. "I'm going to put him in the guest bed. I'm staying the night by the way."

"Good because I want to tell you something," Cuddy grinned.

"What?"

"Put him upstairs first."

"What is it?" Amy asked curiously returning downstairs.

"I'm pregnant," Cuddy said grinning anxious to talk about her pregnancy with someone who would share her enthusiasm.

"You're pregnant!" Amy exclaimed shocked.

"Yeah," Cuddy said shaking her head as Amy gave her a hug.

"My God! Lis I'm so happy for you. When did this happen?" Amy asked pulling away to inspect her sister, resting her hands on Cuddy's stomach. "Is that a bump?"

"Yeah," Cuddy replied resting her hands over Amy's. "It's small but it's something. I'm so glad you're here. Nobody knows. And I've been dying to tell somebody."

"House doesn't know?"

"House doesn't care," Lisa said sitting down on the couch.

"He doesn't care? That doesn't seem very House like."

"Have you met Greg House?"

"You and I both know that House's problem is that he does care and he hates that. And we both know he cares about you. He took you to Manhattan," Amy reminded.

"I don't actually doubt that he cares about me. He's been really sweet. When we're together in the mornings he brings me tea and stays in the bathroom while I….puke."

"Morning sickness. I don't miss it," Amy said cringing.

"I won't either. It's really bad but the baby is healthy and that's all I care about."

"Back to House. How's he dealing?"

"He's House. At least for the most part. He voiced concern today about me carrying Ben. Generally though he like to avoid the issue and in following our traditional roles I enable him by not bringing it up," Cuddy explained messaging her abdomen. "But he says he wants to do this. To be involved."

"With you or the baby?"

"We're a packaged deal."

"So are you two getting married?"

"No. We're not even officially dating. We're an implied couple."

"You're okay with that?" Amy asked curiously.

"Yeah. Why not?" Cuddy asked.

"You always wanted to get married. You probably still have that binder full of all your wedding plans," Amy remembered laughing. "You still have it don't you?"

"I've given up on marriage. I had given up on having a baby but I'm having a baby. And with….Greg," Cuddy laughed. "I still can't believe that. That's I'm a baby and that it's Greg's baby. Or that I'm with Greg. And that is certainly more than being alone."

"I'm not exactly a promoter for marriage. Mine failed. I was just hoping to get Mom off our back."

"I can't even imagine how she's going to react."

"She's going to move to New Jersey," Amy laughed.

"That's why I haven't told her. I can't even imagine, well not true I can imagine."

"I was in California and she flew in all the time. You're a drive away."

"I know. Can't you do something amazing or horrible to distract her?"

"I could light myself on fire and she wouldn't pay attention to anything after you saying your pregnant."

"They're coming over next Friday."

"Good luck," Amy said with a fake smile.
