Baby shower...
The patio was covered with friends and some family not ( Laura or Cuddy's mom). When Cuddy opened her eyes she was shocked. The patio was covered in pink streamers, pink table cloths, and pink wrapping paper on the presents. The food was just come when you are ready. There was a cake on one of the tables that was cover in pink frosting, and cute little pink baby things. Cuddy loved it. She never really had baby showers with any of the other kids.
" Oh my god". Cuddy said.
" You like it mom"? Samantha asked.
" I love it! Who did this"? Cuddy said taking a seat.
" Kate, Sarah, Carli and Sophia's mom, Jamie, Lilly's mom, and I". Samantha said.
" How'd you do this"? Cuddy asked.
" Phone calls, Secret meetings, and telling dad to keep his mouth shut". Samantha said.
" Lisa"! A woman said.
" Cousin Renee". Cuddy said.
" So how've you been"? Renee asked. Renee and Cuddy were practically sisters.
" Good. Really pregnant". Cuddy said and rubbed her belly.
" I can tell. Have you picked out the names"? Renee asked.
" Yeah. We aren't telling anyone until they are born". Cuddy said.
" Well that's good. At least there's that mystery". Renee said.
" Jamie and Samantha keep asking Greg and I about the names but we won't tell them". Cuddy said. Then she was shocked that she called House that.
" Greg is"? Renee asked.
" My fiance`. He's Samantha's dad". Cuddy said.
" Well that's pretty cool. I can't believe my mom didn't tell me that you were pregnant and that you were engaged". Renee said.
" Aunt Grace didn't tell you"? Cuddy asked shocked.
" She didn't say anything. All she said was that Samantha told Laura and your mom off". Renee said.
" That's true. Samantha got really mad and snapped. And she hit both of them. Which was pretty funny to watch Laura get her but kicked by her". Cuddy said.
" Laura got her but kicked by who"? Cousin Alice interrupted.
" Samantha". Cuddy said.
" Nice". Alice said. Alice and Renee were sisters. Cuddy like them better than anybody else except for her aunts, uncles, and her dad in her family.
" Go talk to her. She seriously showed them. I haven't even heard from them since Jake's funeral". Cuddy said.
" That wasn't to long ago. Maybe this just need time to think". Alice said.
" No, my mom practically disowned me. She called Samantha a brat. And Laura called Samantha and I hors". Cuddy said.
" Are you sure it wasn't me that kicked Laura's butt"? Alice asked.
" No I'm pretty sure it was my thirteen year old daughter". Cuddy said. Just then 4 woman walked through the door of the entrance of the patio. It was Cuddy's mom, Laura, Mackenzie, and Brooke. Samantha, Jamie, Kate, Sarah, Carli, Lilly, Sophia, Mrs. Parker, and Mrs. Daniels walked over to Cuddy. Laura had a small packenge in her hand. Cuddy's mom had a gift bag. They set them down on the table and walked over to Cuddy.
" What are you doing here"? Cuddy asked firmly.
" Grace told me that you were having a baby shower. So I decided to come". Lynn said. Cuddy glared at her.
" I see that Samantha dyed her hair. Did you finally realize that she isn't yours"? Laura said.
" She is mine. Samantha dyed her hair as a personal decision but I don't think it's any of your damn business". Cuddy said.
" It is to my damn business. She isn't apart of this family". Laura said.
" Go to hell". Samantha snapped.
" You keep your mouth shut". Laura snapped.
" Don't have too. If I'm not related why do I have to take orders from you"? Samantha said.
" I said be quiet so be quiet you little arrogant, sell fish brat". Laura said.
" Again Laura, I don't have to". Samantha said standing her ground.
" Lisa, take care of this thing you call a daughter". Laura said.
" You know you better watch what you say. Because mom has said that to me and it didn't end well". Cuddy snapped.
" I don't have to. Your just the older sister. No one cares about you". Laura said.
" Daddy does. Mom just likes you because you gave her the daughter she has always wanted. I just turned out like daddy because wait didn't dad give me everything. And as I recall I got Danny Rosenberg from down the street to go out with me". Cuddy smiled.
" You just got it because you were the cheer captain. I was just apart of the cheer squad". Laura said.
" I still have a better job than you by a long shot. Just admit it Laura, you wanted to be daddy's pride and joy like me, you never wanted to be like mom, you just did it and keep doing it because it makes mom happy". Cuddy said.
" Lisa, why would I do that? I'm not jealous or even remotely jealous of you. I just lean more towards mom". Laura said.
" You're lying. Laura, I can tell when people are lying. It's this little thing called being a mom. And being the dean of medicine at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital". Cuddy said.
" So you have that advantage. I'm not lying to you". Laura said.
" You are too. Because when mom's never around you're actually kinda nice. But as soon as mom is in the room you are the uptight Laura Goldberg I grew up with". Cuddy said.
" I'm not lying to you. Lisa, I may have lied to you as a kid. But I am not lying to you". Laura said.
" Laura you are lying to me I can see it in your eyes". Cuddy said. Everyone was hanging on every word.
" Alright fine I admit it. I only act like that because mom is in the room. She told me as a kid that you were the worst thing that ever happened to her. But the best thing ever that happened to daddy. Growing up mom couldn't stand you because when she told you to wear a dress you would always go for the jeans. You always had you nails painted somewhat of a black color. Not a pretty pink or red which drove mom crazy. You went on to med school instead of going to law school like mom wanted you too. You had the twins at 20 and didn't marry Paul. You didn't wait or anything you just did it. That drives mom insane. She thinks that you need to see a therapist. Lisa, I always wanted to be the best little sister ever but mom wouldn't let me. She just thinks that you couldn't get any worse. She calls me and tells me that House isn't the right guy for you. That after you get married you will be divorced within a year. That Samantha is the worst child ever. That she is probably going to get pregnant and fail in life. The fact of the matter is, is that I want to be the cool aunt that gets the stuff that mom and dad won't get you because they came up with some lame argument that it isn't necessary. I've always wanted to be that person. Mom just kept holding me back. So I want to say I'm sorry for being a bitch". Laura said. Cuddy had a shocked look on her face. Samantha was stunned. Lynn was furious.
" I accept your apology and Laura do you want to be in the wedding"? Cuddy asked.
" Yes". Laura said in tears.
" Both of my daughters betray me". Lynn said.
" Yeah mom. You have treated Lisa like she is this arrogant, defiant pain in the ass but she isn't". Laura said.
" Laura Madison Kathleen how dare you speak to your mother that way". Lynn said shocked.
" I can talk to you how ever I want to. You can't control me mother. You have for long enough but it's time to realize that you rein of power is over". Laura said.
" I can tell that I'm not wanted here so I guess I will be on my way". Lynn said.
" Grandma, wait". Samantha said.
" What is it Samantha"? Lynn asked. Samantha walked over to her grandma spit in face and stomped on her foot. Then practically ran over to her mom and Laura. Lynn walked away furiously.
" That was quite a show". Laura said.
" Yes it was". Cuddy said.
" Samantha did a damn well good job". Alice said.
" I guess I did". Samantha smiled.
" You did Samantha and I'm very proud of you for it". Cuddy said giving her a hug.
" Aunt Laura can I talk to you for a sec in private"? Samantha asked.
" Sure". Laura said hesitanly. They walked out into the entrance of the patio before you get outside.
" Aunt Laura, I want to say I'm very sorry for they way I acted. I was just mad and I was sticking up for my family. Can you ever forgive me"? Samantha said.
" Samantha I want to say I'm sorry for the way I acted. I mean you are very bright girl. You just have a different dad then Jamie. Can you ever forgive me"? Laura asked.
" I can forgive you, if you forgive me". Samantha said.
" I forgive you". Laura said.
" I forgive you too". Samantha said. Laura and Samantha hugged.
" I wanna tell you something. Don't tell Jamie but secretly besides Jake you're my favorite". Laura smiled.
" I always thought I was everyone's least favorite". Samantha said.
" No that's Andrew". Laura said.
" I kinda got that one". Samantha said.
" And just to let you know I keep secret's easilly. So if there's something you don't want to tell your mom you can tell me". Laura said.
" Aunt Laura"? Samantha asked.
" Uh huh". Laura said.
" Do you think grandma is going to crash the wedding"? Samantha asked.
" You know what Samantha I don't know. But if she does I will handle it". Laura said.
" Lets go back outside. The presents are going to be open soon". Samantha said with a smile.
" Uh huh". Laura said. They walked back on to the patio. Cuddy was sitting down waiting to start opening presents. Laura and Samantha sat down near Cuddy and everyone else and waited for her start opening the presents. Cuddy grabbed the one from her mom first just to see what it was. She pulled the pink tissue paper off carefully than she pulled out two pink baby outfits that were a bodysuit, a cute little head band with a bow, pants and pair of socks. Then it was the present from Laura. Laura didn't tell her mom what she was getting Cuddy because it was something really good. Cuddy opened it carefully and she pulled out two velvet boxes. She opened one up and it was a silver locket and so was the other one. Laura was really thinking when she bought that one because every single one of the Cuddy girls including her and Lisa got a locket as a baby and so Laura decided that she would get the twins their's. The was a present from cousin Lila it was a set of bodysuits and socks. Then was a present from Carol Parker Carli and Sophia's mom. It was two pink cotton dresses with headbands and little matching socks. Cousin Alice's present was a set of blankets that were pink and brown and covered in flowers and butterflys similar to the bedding in the cribs. Aunt Grace's was a pink and brown diaper bag with some bodysuits and socks. The diaper bag matched the car seat and stroller set that House and Cuddy had bought. Cousin Renee's was some more bodysuits and socks. Karyn Williams Lilly's mom present was a five teared pink cake type looking thing with everything from baby wash to lotion. Kate's was a little pink and brown play gym. ( picked up on the theme of the nursery) Sarah's was two pink and brown bouncie seats. House and Cuddy already had two others. But this meant that Cuddy could cook and put the twins in the seats on the kitchen counter. Then there was a present from Cameron it was just two little outfits that were pink. Thirteen's present was 4 little outfits. Then there was a 2 really big presents from Samantha and Jamie. With a little help from Chase and Foreman to get it. They got their mom the two little pink bassinets that she wanted. She was going to get them already. But Samantha and Jamie knew that getting them as a present was way better. Cuddy opened one of them and was in utter shock. Then she knew what the next one was gonna be. The bassinet was a pale shade a pink with a frily skirt. Cuddy fell in love with it immediately. They couldn't get them quite yet because when they saw them they had the girls with them. The rest of the presents were just bodysuits, outfits, blankets and accsesories. After the baby shower was over Laura, Mackenzie, and Brooke helped get the things in the van. Jamie drove really carefull on the way home because she really couldn't see out the back because of the boxes. She got home. House walked outside with Rachel.
" So how'd the baby shower go"? House asked.
" You knew about"? Cuddy asked.
" Uh huh. How'd it go"? House said.
" Well Laura poured her heart out. And now where practically best friends. We both told my mother off. I got the bassinets I wanted. The twins got a lot of clothes. Sarah got me two more bouncie seats. Which means they are going on the island. And thats pretty much it besides the fact I got a lot of stuff". Cuddy said.
" I made Chase and Foreman help Samantha and Jamie with their gift". House said.
" Well that's awesome considering Chase doesn't work for you anymore". Cuddy said.
" He still did it. I was going to make Wilson and Foreman but Wilson didn't want to help and keep this from you". House said.
" Well I had a lot of fun and I loved everything I got". Cuddy said.
" Well I'm glad you liked it". House said.
" The twins are kicking". Cuddy said.
" Yes hon. That's what they do". House said.
" Shut up". Cuddy said.
" I don't think that's possible". House smirked.
" House that's not what I meant about the kicking. Every time they here you talking they start kicking harder and more profound". Cuddy said.
" That doesn't mean anything". House said.
" It means I was right about that they are going to be daddy's girls just like Samantha". Cuddy smirked.
" Hey! I take offense to that". Samantha pipped up.
" It doesn't mean anything". Cuddy said.
" You just smirked about the fact that I'm a daddy's girl". Samantha said.
" Yeah so". Cuddy laughed.
" Be lucky I don't have the hose or I would spray you". Samantha said.
" Don't be putting dirty thoughts in your dads head". Cuddy said.
" Was that what I was doing"? Samantha smiled and ran inside.
" Samantha, you are going to have to help carrying stuff in". Cuddy said.
" But mom. I just helped load into the car". Samantha whinned.
" Samantha, get stuff out of car now". Cuddy said. Samantha gave her mom a I so hate you right now kinda look.
" Evil bitch". Samantha mumbled.
" What you say"? Cuddy asked.
" Nothing". Samantha said.
" That's what I thought". Cuddy said.
Samantha and Jamie unloaded the stuff that their mom could really do very well. Then it was the 700 hundred things of clothes and socks. It took them a long time to get everything inside and put into the house. After they were all done they went up stairs to the game room/ tv room and had some family time.
" Samantha your not gonna beat me". House said.
" Watch me daddy". Samantha said. They were playing Need for Speed. Samantha turned the corner and was in the lead. And it turns out she beat her father.
" How'd you do that"? House asked shocked.
" It's called I play video games old man". Samantha said sacarcastically.
" You're gonna pay for that". House said he grabbed Samantha a she got up and put her ground and started tickling her.
" Daddy stop". Samantha laughed.
" Not until you say the magic words". House said contiuing to tickle her.
" Daddy please stop". Samantha contiued to laugh. Cuddy watched them as they played around. She couldn't help smile.
" I'm not gonna stop until you say the magic words". House said still tickling her.
" Daddy". Samantha pleaded through a laugh.
" Samantha". House mocked her tone.
" You're always right". Samantha said.
" That's my girl". House said and stopped.
" No you're not". Samantha whispered.
" What was that"? House said.
" I didn't say anything". Samantha said trying not to laugh.
" I heard you". House said and started tickling her again.
" Daddy". Samantha laughed.
" Now I'm not gonna stop. Samantha your mouth keeps getting you in this situation". House said.
" Daddy". Samantha pleaded.
" Not until you say what I always tell you about Wilson". House said.
" He's gay". Samantha said.
" There you go". House said and stopped.
" House"! Cuddy said.
" What I didn't say that. Samantha said that". House said.
" No, I've been in here the entire time and I heard what you said". Cuddy said.
" Hey at least she didn't say something else". House said.
" Still. I'm not letting you go near the twins". Cuddy said. House got up and walked over to her.
" Is that so"? House said giving her a really big kiss. The girls protested how gross that was.
" Can't you two just get a room". Samantha said.
" Samantha"! House and Cuddy said.
" What!? Never mind". Samantha laughed and walked out into the hall.
" She is so your daughter". Cuddy said.
" It took you that long to notice that"? House asked.
" No. But that little comment right there just showed it in full swing". Cuddy smiled.
" Hey! I can hear you". Samantha said offened.
" It was meant for you to hear it". Cuddy said.
" You need stop doing that". Samantha said.
" Why"? Cuddy said.
" Because it hurts my feelings". Samantha said sadly.
" Oh just suck it up". Jamie said.
" Shut up Jamie". Samantha said.
" Okay girls it's time to go to bed. It's almost 11 I can't believe I let you stay up this long". Cuddy said. Samantha walked over and gave each her parents a hug and said good night. Jamie said goodnight and gave her mom a hug. Cuddy couldn't help but smile. She went down stairs grabbed a couple photo albums and started looking through them at the dining room table. House walked over and sat right next to her. She looked at the photos and couldn't believe how much Samantha and Jamie have grown up.
" This is Samantha at her 3rd birthday party". Cuddy said showing the photo to House.
" She had really blonde hair there". House said.
" Yeah I can't believe that is almost 11 years ago". Cuddy said.
" Well believe it". House said. Cuddy started looking at another photo. It was one of her and the kids. Jake and Andrew where about 10, Jamie was about 7 and Samantha was about 5.
" This was the family picture that was for the holidays. I hate my hair in this picture. Samantha wouldn't moving around". Cuddy said.
" That sounds like her". House said.
" Uh huh". Cuddy said. She found another picture Samantha was about 11 and was playing around with the camera.
" What is she doing"? House laughed.
" I had just gotten her the first digital camera of many and she was playing around with it". Cuddy said.
" Well she is defiantely yours". House said.
" Shut up". Cuddy said.
" Lets go to bed. Who knows what the girls are going to do tomorrow". House said.
" You go to bed. I will be right in". Cuddy said giving him a kiss.
" Alright". House said limping towards the bedroom. Cuddy put the photo albums up. She walked towards the bedroom. House was watching tv. She grabbed a pair a pajama bottoms and a t-shirt. She goes into the bathroom and changes and then walks over to the bed props a pillow behind her back and covers her legs with the blanket. House leans down to her stomach and starts talking to it.
" Mommy really wants to see you guys and daddy kinda does too". House said.
" Stop it. You're gonna make them start to move". Cuddy said.
" That's the whole point". House said.
" I think they are going to give us a lot of trouble". Cuddy said.
" How so"? House said.
" Because they never sleep at night and sleep during the day". Cuddy said.
" So they are a little bit like me". House said.
" A little bit"? Cuddy asked.
" Alright so maybe they are a lot like me. Doesn't mean that they won't be somewhat like you". House said.
" And they are off". Cuddy said.
" You guys have perfect timing. And I just love that I can make mommy get mad because of you two". House said.
" Stop encouraging them". Cuddy said.
" So I can't talk"? House said offeneded.
" No. Just don't talk to the twins". Cuddy said.
" I can't really do that". House said.
" Yeah, ya can". Cuddy said.
" That ruin my whole purpose of being the father I am". House said.
" OW! You need to stop". Cuddy said to her stomach.
" What happened"? House asked trying not to laugh.
" I think one of them it a major organ or a kidney". Cuddy said.
" Hon, and kidney is a major organ. If you didn't know that then we are going to take you back to the seventh grade and re-teach you the body systems". House said.
" I know the kidney is a major organ". Cuddy said.
" If you say so". House said. Cuddy grabbed a throw pillow and wacked him on the head.
" OW! You abuse me way too much". House said rubbing his head.
" Quit saying stupid stuff. The twins might not have a father by the time they're born". Cuddy said.
" How can I not say stupid stuff? That's what I do Lisa". House said.
" Did you just call me Lisa instead of Cuddy"? Cuddy said shocked.
" Maybe I did, maybe I didn't". House said.
" You did. I caught myself today at the baby shower call you my fiance` and Greg". Cuddy said.
" Okay that's freaky". House said.
" I don't know why I called you Greg". Cuddy said.
" What do you refer to me as then"? House said.
" House or my baby daddy". Cuddy said she smiled at the last one.
" What the heck Cuddy". House said.
" What? Okay fine. What do you refer to me as"? Cuddy said.
" Cuddy or baby mama". House said.
" They why are you getting offended by baby daddy"? Cuddy asked.
" I don't know. My brain hurts can we just go to sleep". House said.
" That's cool with me". Cuddy said as she turned off her lamp by her sided of her bed. They fell a sleep with the tv on some channel. Cuddy woke up in the middle of the night having to go pee. She hated being pregnant with twins because she had to pee every 5 minutes.

AN: Thanks for reading! This chapter so far is my favorite chapter. I know on other chapters I said that this is my favorite. Well this one tops them. It was so much fun to right. And I love the part about baby daddy and baby mama. Please review. I don't know what chapter 26 is going to be about yet but I'm putting together some ideas. Ideas are so welcome.
