I just stole quietandmellow's Little Debbie. That's for sticking your thumb in my burrito! I just realized that sounded a little dirty. Too much Huddy smut for me.

I got 1.67k hits yesterday, which is a new record!

Hello Again

Cuddy had spent the rest of the day trying to figure out what to do that night to calm down her parents. She told House that she would go to her house and talk to her parents and then she would pick him up. They had decided that when they went to dinner, they would act like nothing happened. Cuddy took a deep breath before she opened up her front door. "I'm home," she said cheerfully as she entered.

He parents came out of the kitchen to greet her.

"Everything go okay at your meeting today?" Calvin asked her.

"It went great," Cuddy said. "Did you two have fun today?"

"We went shopping and some site-seeing," Calvin said. "We went to go have lunch with you, but they said you had a lunch meeting."

"Yes, I had lunch with a doctor," Cuddy said.

"Where's Greg?" Laura asked Cuddy.

"He went home to change," Cuddy said. "I told him that I would pick him up."

"You should go get ready," Calvin said. "We are ready when you are."

"Okay," Cuddy said as she headed to her room to get changed. She wondered what was going on. She had expected for her parents to immediately yell at her about House and tell her how she is a failure.

When Cuddy was in the shower, the doorbell rang. Calvin got up and answered it. "Hi Mr. Cuddy," Natalie said.

"Hello Natalie," he answered back. He let her in.

"Hello Mrs. Cuddy. I just wanted to drop off Lisa's present." She put the present down on the end table.

"How are you?" Calvin asked her.

"Fine," Natalie said.

"Have you been seeing anyone?" Calvin asked.

"No one in particular," Natalie said.

"What do you think about Greg?" Laura asked.

"Greg's hot," Natalie said. "I think Lisa might be mad at me if I start seeing him."

"I mean, what do you think about him dating Lisa?"

"She's happy, so I am happy."

"How do you think she treats her?" Calvin asked.

"Fine," Natalie said. "Lisa is probably the only person in the world that can boss him around."

"He can be rude," Calvin said.

"A rather date someone who is a little rude than someone who will pop me in the face," Natalie said.

"You shouldn't have to date either," Laura said.

"Every person has a vice," Natalie said. "House's is his mouth. It works for them, though. House needs someone like your daughter to tell him what to do because a relationship would never work if he dated a push-over. Lisa is such a strong woman that she needs a man that is not intimated by her. I think they are great together."

"I can tell that you are not a mother," Laura said.

"Maybe not, but Lisa is a grown woman and I respect her decision. I have to run. Tell Lisa I hope she likes her present."

When Cuddy came into the living room after she was ready, she saw Natalie's present on the end table. "Natalie dropped that by," Calvin said. Cuddy opened it up and saw that it was a bracelet with crimson stones on it.

"That present came too," Calvin said pointing to the coffee table. "It's from a John and Blythe House."

"That is House's parents," Cuddy said as she opened it up. It was a business folder with her name engraved in it.

"Have you met his parent?" Laura asked.

"They came down when he hurt his leg," Cuddy said.

"What kind of people are they?" Calvin asked.

"Mrs. House is one of the sweetest people in the world," Cuddy said. "She reminds me of June Cleaver."

"How about Mr. House?" Laura asked.

"He is pretty quiet and reserved," Cuddy said. She did not want to tell her parents about her run-in with John House.

"Did hey like you?" Laura asked.

"I am pretty sure they did," Cuddy said. "I talk to Mrs. House sometimes on the phone."

"When I called you about a month ago, why didn't you tell me about Greg?" Laura asked.

"I just wanted to wait and see how the relationship was going," Cuddy said.

"If we hadn't come down here, when would you have told us?" Laura asked.

"I don't know," Cuddy said. "I wasn't trying to hide it from you."

"We are going to be late," Calvin said. "We will meet you are the restaurant."

As Cuddy drove to House's apartment, she took another deep breath. She had a bad feeling about tonight.

At House's apartment, Wilson was trying to help House put on his tie.

"It's not even," House said.

"If you would stop moving I could make it even."

"Maybe I should just wait for Cuddy," House said. "I heard this thing about a 'woman's touch' and maybe she has one."

"I have some advice for you tonight," Wilson said.

"What is it daddy?" House asked.

"Be nice to Cuddy," Wilson said. "That is the most important. They won't be able to look past other things if you are mean to her. Also, do not argue back. Let them call you every name in the book, but do not be mean to them."

"What if they are being mean to her?" House asked.

"Politely tell them to stop," House said.

"Yeah, like I even know what the word polite means," House said.

"Than don't say anything at all," Wilson said.

"I have a feeling it will be a fairly quiet evening," House said.
