The paternity test was completed on Monday morning at the hospital. Cuddy performed the test in her office and sent the samples to the lab under the name David Gregory. The test was rushed and Tuesday afternoon the results were delivered to Cuddy. Cuddy called House and Jakob and they arrived at her office at 3:30 that afternoon.
"Well, Cuddy?"
"The results are 99.99994% consistent with paternity."
"I knew it."
"I'm your father Greg." Jakob was in shock still. "I believed Blythe but I still find it difficult to imagine I have a son."
"I understand. I don't expect anything from you."
"I'm not turning my back on you, son. I just don't know how to be a father especially to a grown man. Can we get to know each other better? I would like to be part of your life."
"Come over for dinner tonight. I'll have Mom to set a place for you."
"Ok. I don't have any plans tonight. Are you sure it's okay?"
"Jakob, we would love to have you for dinner. You need to get to know Greg and your grandchildren."
"Grandchildren. I am a father and a grandfather. I never thought I would have either. Now I get both in the same day." Jakob smiled at House and Cuddy.
Later that night, Jakob arrived for dinner. Arlene was even more curious about his appearance. House had Jakob sit between Blythe and Arlene.
"So, Jake, where do you live?"
"Edison."
"Why so far away?"
"It takes around forty minutes to drive here depending on traffic. Sometimes, it takes over an hour."
"Why don't you move closer?"
"I am considering moving close by. It only makes sense to be closer to my congregants and friends."
Jakob looked at House. "Makes sense to me." House was letting him know he was okay with the move closer. "Mom, Jakob came by the hospital today."
"He did?"
"Yes, the results came back. It was positive."
"What results? Are you sick rabbi?" Arlene questioned.
"No. I am perfectly fine." Jakob responded.
"Paternity results." House added.
"Paternity?" Arlene questioned.
House nodded. "Jakob is my biological father."
"What?"
"I didn't stutter old woman. JAKOB IS MY FATHER."
"My rabbi is your father. You have got to be kidding me. You're not Jewish."
"Actually, I'm more Jewish than you are. You converted. My father is Jewish."
"Shut up Gregory."
"Mom, you should be thrilled. I married a Jewish doctor. He's every Jewish mother's dream husband." Cuddy quipped.
After dinner, they talked and all got to know each other better. Jakob played with Rachel and held Levi. After the children were in bed, the adults continued their conversation. House and Jakob discussed family history of illness and disease. House explained his infarction, subsequent pain, and finally his stem cell clinical trial which restored his muscle loss. House also discussed his career and his family life with Lisa. Jakob was impressed that Blythe and Arlene lived in a guest house so close. Most couples now did not want their parents living with them. Long ago, parents were revered and respected. They were cared for in their old age and not tossed aside. He was pleased that House had enough respect for his mother and mother-in-law to build a place for them to stay in his backyard.
After Jakob left, Arlene and Blythe went home. Arlene quizzed Blythe for over an hour about her relationship with Jakob. Blythe was uncomfortable but explained what happened and how she had kept the secret all of these years. Arlene was surprised and shocked at the deception but understood. After all, times were different when Greg had been born. Now, being a single-parent was perfectly fine. Back in the 1950's and 1960's, women were frowned upon if they had a child out of wedlock especially if she had an affair.
Meanwhile, Wilson had kept up the façade of being madly in love with Stacy. Stacy was beginning to feel smothered in the relationship. Unknown to Wilson, Stacy paid a visit to a certain private investigator that had moved back to the Princeton area, Lucas Douglas. Stacy pretended to need his assistance for a client but she really wanted Lucas to investigate House and his mystery Lisa, party pants, from college. Stacy also implied that Lisa Cuddy was looking for a boyfriend and father figure for Rachel. Stacy hoped Lucas took the bait and went after Cuddy.
Around 6:00 pm one night, Cuddy arrived home. House had left work early since his case was finished and he was in a foul mood.
"Hey, Blythe. Where is he?"
"He's in the family room. What happened? I haven't seen him like this in a long time. He's brooding. He looks miserable."
"I know. I had an unexpected visitor at work and he was there but it wasn't pleasant. I need to talk to him."
Cuddy went into the family room. She found House sitting in the dark with his eyes closed listening to his I-pod with his headphones on. She walked over to him and sat down on his lap so that he couldn't get up. She needed to discuss the events from earlier with him without him running away.
"Hey, handsome."
House grunted. "Hey."
"Talk to me."
"About?"
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe about Lucas walking into my office. How about we start with that?"
House huffed. "Don't want to."
"Well, I do." House looked down. "You know I was just as surprised as you were." House nodded. "You were under my desk when he walked in." House grinned a little. "That felt good by the way. Will you finish it later?" He nodded. "Good. Now back to the unpleasant matter. You heard the entire conversation."
"I know but when you asked him to turn around so I could crawl out from under your desk and he thought you were …"
"I know but he realized I was talking to you not him."
"But he thought at first you were talking to him."
"I was looking in your eyes. I was caressing your cheek. I was telling you that I love you. I don't love him. I never did."
"But he said that he loved you too."
"I know but I was talking to you not him." House nodded. "You are the love of my life. I think he realized that I was talking to you when he turned around."
"Well, if that didn't convince him, you sitting on my lap on the couch should have done the trick." Cuddy laughed. "I'm glad you did though. I wanted to be close to you."
"I felt the same way. Plus, I wanted to make sure he realized that we were together."
"I knew Stacy was up to something but I never dreamed she would go to Lucas."
"Wilson, must have loose lips in bed."
"Don't try to find out."
"Don't worry. I only want your lips." Cuddy smiled at House. "Greg, I would never want to replace you or find Rachel a new dad. You do know that, right?" He nodded. Cuddy kissed House. "I love you, Greg House."
"I love you Lisa." Cuddy grinned at him. "I am glad we told him that you were party pants. I wish I could see the look on her face when she finds out. She will have a fit."
"I think Stacy and Lucas will both be having a fit. I think those two should get together. He may not be able to satisfy her in bed though."
"What do you mean?"
"I shouldn't be saying this but…He is really bad in bed." House just looked at her. "He is a minute man. If I couldn't get off in a minute, he was already finished."
"What about oral?"
"I let him try it once. It hurt so I made him stop. I told him I didn't like oral."
"Hurt?"
"Yea." House looked confused. He knew she loved oral. Cuddy leaned up and slowly kissed House on the lips. She began moving her mouth over his cheek and down his neck. She sensuously kissed and licked his neck. "Do you like that? Did it feel good?"
"Oh yea. I like it. It feels so good." Cuddy then started poking his neck with her tongue. "Damn, stop. That hurts."
"I know. Now, imagine that down there."
"Ouch."
"Exactly. Do you see why I stopped him?"
"I understand. Why did you stay with him? Why become engaged?"
Cuddy grimaced and rolled her eyes. "He asked me. You didn't. I wanted you so much but I was afraid to expose myself enough to come to you. At the accident site in Trenton, I looked into your eyes and saw past your pain. I could see your beautiful soul again. I knew that I couldn't marry him when you were the only one for me. I wanted to be looking into your eyes for the rest of my life. I couldn't keep pretending that he was you."
"You pretended you were with me when you were having sex with him?"
Cuddy nodded. "I had to finish myself off anyway. I imagined it was your hands instead of mine."
"I'm sorry I was such an idiot for so long."
"Not your fault. I was an idiot too. I was just as scared as you were. At least you have an excuse. John was an ass. What's my excuse?"
"Arlene." They both chuckled. "Seriously, we were both idiots. Lucas just brought out all of those old insecurities. I'm sorry for getting upset. I wasn't mad at you just the situation."
"I know. I would have felt the same way if the tables were reversed. Are we okay?" He nodded. "Now, how about finishing what you started under my desk? Your fingers were up my skirt, in between my legs." House laughed at her. "You are so good." Cuddy was really getting worked up. She leaned over and was passionately kissing him. "Greg, take me to bed."
"As soon as the kids go to sleep, I promise to finish this but I would hate for Rachel to walk in here right now."
"Me too but I truly want you right now."
"I want you too. Believe me; I want you so much it hurts."
"I can tell." She smirked when she looked down at the bulge in his pants. She rubbed the front of his pants. "Are you sure you won't change your mind? We could just go to bed now."
"You need to eat dinner. You're eating for three now."
"Make out until dinner is ready?"
"You got it." He began kissing her again. They remained together on the couch until Rachel told them dinner was ready. After enjoying dinner, they spent some time with the kids and got them ready for bed. After putting the kids to bed, Cuddy dragged House to their bedroom.
"Anxious?"
"Hell yes." She started removing her clothes. "You promised."
He laughed at her. He began kissing her and massaging her ass. After her clothes were removed, she began removing his clothes. Cuddy pushed him down on the bed. "I like bossy Cuddy. She's hot."
"She's horny." They both laughed. "Finish what you started earlier before I have to finish myself off."
"Oh, I plan on finishing you off several times."
"Really? Several times?" Cuddy was grinning, clearly excited about the possibility of a night of passion.
Cuddy crawled on top of him. He grabbed her hands and pulled her down to kiss her lips. "Look in my eyes. I want you to see it's me."
She stared into his eyes and they made love. After their second time, she laid down beside him on the bed. He rolled over and pulled her into his arms. Her head was resting on his chest and shoulder. He kept caressing her arm and back. He placed kisses on the top of her head, her forehead, her nose, and her cheek. He turned her head and placed long, slow kisses on her mouth as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. She felt his erection against her leg.
"Again?"
He nodded. "I promised you. I try to keep my promises to you now."
She began kissing him more earnestly. She crawled back on top of him. "Holy hell. Why did I ever stay out of your bed for so long?" He kept kissing her and stroking her body. "You make me feel so good." He smiled against her lips. "I think I'm a nympho."
He laughed. "If you're a pervert then so am I." They both laughed and continued making love.
