Last chapter and I can't get the title to center!
Christmas Time Is Here
7:30pm
House, Cuddy, and Natalie spent the rest of the day at Wilson's. They drove a round some of that time to get themselves warm again. They finally decided to leave when Natalie got a call that her apartment's electricity was back on. Natalie drove House and Cuddy back to their place.
"You guys sure you don't want to stay with me since you still have no power?" Natalie asked when they got out of the car.
"House and I want some alone time," Cuddy said to Natalie.
"Eww," Natalie said. "I know what that means."
"Not just that," Cuddy said.
"There will definitely be some of that, though," House said.
"Have fun," Natalie said. "Try not to let anything freeze off." Natalie backed out of the driveway and drove off.
"You are going to make sure nothing freezes off of me, right?" House asked Cuddy.
"Damn straight," Cuddy said as they walked in the house. "I am attached to every part of your body."
"I know," House said with a smile as he lit some candles. Cuddy laughed and rolled her eyes.
"You ready for your Christmas present now?" Cuddy asked.
"Does it require you to be naked?" House asked.
"No," Cuddy said. "I think you will like it anyway." Cuddy headed to the bedroom to go get his present. House sat down at his piano and started playing Carol Of The Bells. Cuddy walked in and sat down next to House as he played.
"I was so excited when I learned how to play this," House said.
"Is this your favorite Christmas song?" Cuddy asked.
"Are you kidding?" House said. "It is definitely Linus And Lucy from Charlie Brown." House started to play the song.
"You are going to be able to teach Jordan so many things," Cuddy said. "I am talking about the good things. The bad things I am going to slap you for."
"I am going to try hard not to corrupt him," House said.
"I got your present for you," Cuddy said.
"Gimme," House said as she stopped playing. Cuddy handed him the present. House opened it up and saw the passes to let him go in the Red Sox locker room.
"You like?" Cuddy asked.
"Are you kidding?" House said. "These are the best. Thanks for sleeping with a donor to get them for me."
"You're welcome," Cuddy said.
"I got you a present too," House said as he got up.
"I thought you proposing to me was my present?" Cuddy said.
"I didn't originally plan on doing that until New Year's Eve, so I had already gotten you a present," House said. House came back and handed Cuddy a present.
"It's a blanket," Cuddy said when she unwrapped the present.
"You are such a genius," House said sarcastically. "Pull the blanket out and read it."
"House and Cuddy's baby's blanket," Cuddy read. Cuddy looked at him with a big smile.
"Too possessive?" House asked.
"No," Cuddy said with tears in her eyes. "It's perfect." House wrapped his arms around Cuddy and gave her a hug.
"I'm glad I have you," House said.
"You'll always have me," Cuddy said. House kissed the side of Cuddy's neck. As they were sitting there, the lights came on.
"It's a Christmas miracle!" House said.
"Finally, some heat," Cuddy said.
"Who cares about the heat?" House asked. "Now we can do it in front of the Christmas tree."
"I hope that is a flattering light for me," Cuddy said.
"You look beautiful in any light," House said as he wiped the tears out of her eyes.
"Saying things like that is really going to help you get some," Cuddy said with a smile.
"Then why don't you ever tell me that I am beautiful?" House asked. "It would help guarantee that you would get some."
"I don't think I have to worry about you not wanting to do me," Cuddy said.
"That does hurt my argument," House said.
"I am going to go get a comforter and turn the heat up," Cuddy said. "You go turn on the Christmas lights." House went and turned on the lights on the Christmas tree and Cuddy went and got a soft comforter for them to lie on. Cuddy laid down on the comforter and looked up at the Christmas tree's lights. House laid down next to her.
"See?" House said. "Colored lights flickering makes you look beautiful." Cuddy leaned over and gave him a kiss.
"Make love to me, House," Cuddy whispered to him. House pulled her closer and kisser her deeper.
"I love you," House said to her between kisses.
"I love you too," Cuddy said.
"Thanks for agreeing to marry me," House said.
"No problem," Cuddy said.
"Smartass," House said. House kissed her harder and made love to her in the light of the Christmas tree.
