An: Today we see Sadie and Jeff, and soon, Wade. It's a bit longer than my usuals.
"Shut up, and gimme," Jessica reached forward and grabbed her ringing phone out of her sister's hand. "Go. Annoy Mom for awhile."
"Fine. Mom, tell Jessica to stop being a beezy and let me talk to Lisa!"
She called. "Stop stealing her phone and I just might think about it!" She yelled back from the other room.
Jessica rolled her eyes and answered her phone. "Hey Lisa. What's up?" Rob came back into the room, munching on a piece of bell pepper. She watched as the smile melted, and was replaced by fear.
Rob slowly stopped chewing, "What?"
"OK Lise," she said, not listening to her sister, "alright." She hung up the phone and let her arm drop to her side.
"What?" Rob repeated.
"Lisa said that they found a mass on her kidney, and imaging showed masses on her lungs. That's not good, is it?" She knew it wasn't good the moment Cuddy said "mass", but the look on Rob's face, the way her eyes looked wet.
"No it's not," she answered quietly and shook her head slightly.
Their mom came in from the kitchen, "Baby, what's wrong?" She asked Rob.
"Mommy, we have to go home," she told her, on the verge of tears.
"You bitch!" Cuddy looked at the door of her hospital room, and saw two familar faces, along with two she hadn't seen in years, but recognized instantly. Rob pointed an accusing finger at her, "You scared the hell outta me!" Jessica walked quickly to the bed, she hugged Cuddy in a manner that some people would call angry, but Cuddy knew she was just worried, and that she would be getting even tighter hugs soon. So she hugged back.
"Sadie," she said after Jessica let go, very surprised at her friend's attendance.
Sadie smiled, "Hey baby sis." She hugged Cuddy tightly with one arm, "You didn't think I'd stay away when I thought you were dying did you?"
"So I have to be dying for you to come and see me?"
She smiled. "No, but it's damn good motivation. Where would I be without my daughter?" Cuddy chuckled.
"Well, you'd have two left." Rob said. Cuddy laughed again.
She hesitated for a moment, "Sadie, can I please be released from this hug? I need my body back."
"I'm not done yet. You will know when I am done."
"Alright." A few seconds later the blonde let go. "Sorry we couldn't be here sooner, weather was a bitch."
"It's fine," Cuddy smiled. "It turned out it was nothing."
"And though that pisses off my daughter," she looked at Rob, who huffed and crossed her arms over her chest, "we're happy, Rob included, and I swear, on the plane ride over, I thought she was either going to cry, or throw up, or both."
Cuddy looked to the side of Sadie at the pouty twin. "You were worried about me?" She asked with a smirk.
"Bite me Lise." Her dad smiled and hugged his daughter to him. He let go of her and walked over to Cuddy. Jeff put one hand on her cheek and kissed her temple. "Dad, don't start feeling Lisa up in front of us. I know she's hot, but it's weird." He ignored his daughter and hugged Cuddy.
She closed her eyes and hugged back, "Hi Jeff."
"Long time no see," he told her as he let go.
"That's my fault why?"
Jessica coughed, "Workaholic."
"Oh…" Rob laughed. "Weren't expecting that now were you?"
Jeff ignored his children and continued, "I don't see Greg here, he better be being good to you."
Cuddy smiled, "You just missed him."
"Wilson said he was being a jackass," Jessica told her.
"It's fine." She promised. "Really, you guys didn't have to come-"
"Lisa, shut the hell up," Sadie told her. She pushed her husband out of the way and sat on the edge of the bed, "Of course we had to come. Now you can kick my children, by the way, Don sends his love," she kissed the top of her head, "and yes, I was required to do that, and my husband out, but I'm staying."
Jeff looked at Cuddy, "Lisa, you know Sadie, she always gets what she wants. Mic Jager obviously never met her."
"Damn straight," the blonde nodded. "See Lise," she smiled, "he's finally learning." Jeff kissed his wife's head. Cuddy still couldn't believe how good they were together. Hell, it must be 26 years. God, where did that that time go? And Sadie still looked fantastic, woman was almost fifty, and she looked great. Tall, beautiful and blonde, and Cuddy really understood how they produced such good looking kids. The girls looked everything and nothing like their mother, and Don really did look like her, though he didn't get his mother's green eyes. And Jeff, he was not as good looking as his wife, but he was still very handsome. His hair had gotten lighter, and grey was starting to come in at his temples, he also had some wrinkles, but they were the good ones by his eyes. The ones that told you someone spent much of their life smiling. His eyes were as beautiful as she remembered. Not like House's, not the ice blue she loved, but the brown that all of his kids had gotten. And he really did know his wife.
"Alright," she agreed. "I'll see you guys later." Jessica and Jeff nodded, but Rob made an annoyed noise.
"Hell no. I just sat in a plane for over 10 hours-"
"Rob, go to Greg's office. Go annoy Wilson." Her mother suggested when the idea of hanging out with her cousin did nothing for her. Rob considered it for a minute, then walked out.
Jeff rolled his eyes at the predictablity. "See you in a bit Lise. Come on," he told his remaining daughter.
"Jeff," Cuddy called, he turned around, "please dont get all, third degree on him."
He chuckled, "Of course not." Cuddy rolled her eyes, and he could practically hear the gesture say, "Why don't I believe that?"
He turned back towards the door, but his wife stopped him this time, "Sweetheart..." he looked back around. "Don't get into the pissing contest you always do with Greg. It's bad enough when you guys do it over cars and income," he smiled slightly, "but I'd really like it if I didn't walk in on a conversation about whether Lisa looks better naked than me or not." Both Cuddy and Jessica knew it could go there, and Cuddy shared Sadie's opinion on the matter.
"Babe," he started in a sincere tone, "I won't." Sadie raised an eyebrow at her daughter, who nodded, silently promising to keep an eye on their conversation.
"Alright, you may go now," Sadie dismissed and looked back at her friend, smiling.
Jeff turned to his daughter, "Your mother's subtlety is one of the things I love about her." Jessica and Cuddy smiled.
"Jeffery," Sadie said sweetly, her back still to him, "I believe Lisa told you to fuck off. How's that for subtlety?" He smiled and they left the women alone. "So is Greg being a dick to you? I promise I won't tell Rob if he is...or I will if you want me to. Depending on his level of dickness, I may intervene. You've been jaded sweetheart, you might not be able to distinguish it so well anymore."
"Sadie, it's fine," she assured her friend with a smile.
"Then why does my gayest straight friend tell my otherwise?"
Cuddy laughed, "That's how you describe Wilson?"
"Apparently that's how you do as well. Point being, why does he tell me otherwise?"
She hesitated for a moment, "…He didn't come through right away."
"Meaning..." She prompted.
Cuddy sighed, "The terribly clichéd phrase, "I knew you'd come" was put into use." Sadie groaned, "Do you need me to smack him?"
"I told you," she shook her head and kind of shrugged, "it's fine."
"M'kay."
"Oh god..." House groaned when he saw his cousins walk by his office. They heard him and stopped. House pushed open the door, "What are you doing here?"
"I didn't come to see you," Jeff crossed his arms over his chest, "I came to see your best friend and neglected girlfriend." He said with a note of disapproval.
"Why do you always take her side?"
"Because I don't like you," he answered seriously and with a straight face."
"Oh," House nodded. "At least I don't have to deal with insane jealously of my babe getting skills."
"At least I can hold onto a girl." Jessica sighed and did Wilson's trademark facepalm. The team watched from the conference table.
"I'm smarter."
"I'm happier."
"I'm not misinformed."
"I never went crazy."
"I have Cuddy."
"I have Sadie."
"I banged her first."
The team's jaws dropped.
Jeff didn't get offended, didn't get angry, surprised, he didn't back down. He smiled and calmly responded, "I married her."
House paused, "Well played sir." Jeff nodded. "...I can ride a motorcycle."
"I can fly a plane."
"I can ride-"
"Gregory, Jeffery," came Jessica's voice. "Mother will kill you if she finds out that you're bragging about what you ride."
"I wasn't gonna say that," they denied at the same time.
"Bullshit." They heard Rob say. They looked in the direction of Wilson's office, she and Wilson were walking towards them. "Greg, you tell anyone that'll listen what you got." He looked away guiltily. "And Dad…" she looked him up and down, then shook her head, "mm-mm."
Chase was walking back to the office, still thinking about the very interesting conversation he'd heard. He shook his head, remembering what House had said about the twins' mom. He stopped abruptly, there was an incredibly hot blonde standing outside House's office with her arms crossed over her chest. Bringing his eyes down to her boobs, though they definitely would have made it there eventually. Even without that stance, and even with the non revealing shirt. He could tell she was in her late forties, but still. And apparently she was very impatient, her boot was tapping, and she just had a look. Chase walked towards her, with his most charming smile, "Hi."
She looked at him, "Hi."
"Can I help you with something?"
"Just waiting for House," she shrugged. "Then I'm sorry," he appologize. She tilted her head slightly and gave him a questioning look. "Well that means you or a family member were treated by him, and you were probably insulted. And then the prolonged exposure." After considering him for a moment, she smiled slightly, he returned the smile. He put out his hand, "I'm Doctor-"
He was interupted by a disgusted noise, Rob, or at least he thought, pushed his hand away, and grabbed the woman's arm, "No!" She exclaimed. "God, can't you keep it in your pants for five minutes around my family?"
"Sadie," the blonde pointed and introduced heself in response to the look on his face. "I'm her mom."
Chase's eyes slightly widened. "Yeah, I came forth from her. Three kids. Greg, has he ever made a move on you?" She asked when House pushed open the door of his office.
He stopped and thought before puffing out a breath of air and saying, "I'm pretty sure he was going to grab my ass one time."
Rob flicked Chase in the ear, and House continued into his office. "Ow!" Chase complained.
"Stop checking out my gene pool," she countered.
Sadie ignored them and followed House. He looked up from his chair at Sadie. "I was hoping that you'd get that I didn't want to talk by me leaving."
"Oh sweetheart," she leaned back in one of the chairs in front of his desk, "when has that ever stopped me? If anything, I push harder."
"That sounds more like me. You push when something's bothering people. What do you think's bothering me?"
"Nothing. I haven't seen you in a long time."
"That's it?" He asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, Lisa's convinced me you're not being more of a dick than usual."
