"Lisa Cuddy is a big, fat liar," Hilary accused and there was an almost dramatic gasp that circled the room. This is why Cuddy hated Reunions, there was always some sort of drama. "She told us that she was dating Dr. Gregory House when we first came here, but a close friend of mine revealed that it was all a lie. They practically hated each other." Hilary stated. "Lisa Cuddy just thought it'd be cooler if she had a successful boyfriend, what else did she lie about? Is her daughter actually hers? Is she actually the Dean of Medicine here? How would we know." She smirked.

Cuddy looked in at Hilary in anger and at her old friends in shame. Before she could come clean, House decided to try to save her himself. "She's right, Cuddy and I weren't dating, we were engaged." House announced to the room and proposed to Cuddy.

"No," Cuddy practically exclaimed and immediately saw the hurt that flashed on House's face. "I mean, House this isn't high school. I'm not fixing a lie with another lie." She then turned to everyone and took a deep breath.

"I am indeed the Dean of Medicine here at Princeton-Plainsboro," Cuddy decided to start with the truth. "I graduated second top in my class, I'm the second youngest Dean at age 32 and the first female in this hospital's history.

"Rachel is my daughter. I adopted her two Christmas's ago. After an arranged adoption fell through I was about to give up and a girl came in sick and dying. She had a daughter, but when she died her parents didn't want the baby and the father was too young to take care of it. So, I adopted her as the daughter I always wanted.

"Hilary's right though, Greg and I weren't dating when you first came, and I'm sorry that I didn't admit it sooner and I'm ashamed that I let it go on for so long, but you know what. I do not and will never regret dragging Greg into this mess because if I hadn't then I wouldn't be engaged tonight and expected twins." She smiled at him and held his hand. House smiled back contently.

"Hah," Hilary scoffed. "More lies," She told everyone.

"You know, I wouldn't be talking if I were you," House suddenly stepped back in. "I had a friend dig up a few things for me as a favor." He smirked, suddenly having the upper hand.

"Oh god, House, please don't tell me you're talking about Lucas," Cuddy begged knowing just how well of a P.I. he is.

"That's exactly who I'm talking about Cuddles," House smiled at his fiancée. "Little Hilary here hasn't told the whole truth either, but you already know that don't you?"

Hilary looked at House with furrowed brows. "How do we know that you won't be lying?"

"Because one is right in front of your face," House told her. "One very juicy thing I found out is that Hilary and her husband aren't as close as they depict. I mean look at him now, he's making out with, who's that your best friend?"

Hilary looked mortified, but she didn't turn to her husband. She knew House was right and refused to see them. Cuddy almost felt bad for the poor woman. Sure she had the American Dream, but she hasn't even been so desperate as to let a man cheat on her without a care. When she looked up at House she saw him smile viciously and get ready to go on, but she was better than that. They were better than that.

"Not to mention that-"

"House, enough," Cuddy scolded in a stern voice with her brows furrowed as if she were a mother talking to her child. "We are not stooping down to her level. You got your word in and she got hers. It's even."

"You're just saying that because you have nothing else on me," She said in a cocky voice as she kept her head, as well as her pride, held high.

Cuddy, completely in administrative mode at this point turned to her with the same expression she gave House. "And you," She spoke superiorly. "Learn to grow up," She practically commanded. "Like I said, this isn't high school anymore. Yes, the real world is competition but not this kind of competition. Not the my boyfriend is better and cooler than yours or my hair looks nicer."

Hilary stared silently at her as she went on. "Here, in reality that doesn't matter in the least. Yes, it's good to have connections but my god Hilary, your fucking husband is a douche bag and a worse son of a bitch than the one standing behind me. He is cheating on you and you stay with him because why? Because he's a male model? What about that bitch he's with, she's supposed to be your best friend but you don't want your precious husband mad, is that it?"

Cuddy shook her head. "I feel almost bad for you and I would've if you only knew how to grow up and face the world like a mature woman and not like a teenage, immature, high school bitch." She softened her gaze. "Maybe then you'd see your kids love you and want to get to know you and that you can get better than you have."

"Please Lisa, don't act all high and mighty," Hilary tried. "You don't know my life and you don't control me. How's your advice working for you anyways? You aren't married or have a beautiful family like me. Back off."

Cuddy kept her straight face to show Hilary's words had no affect on her anymore. "Alright then," Cuddy said simply. "You're right, it's your life and I don't control it. I don't have the perfect life but at least I'm happy. And you aren't getting a fight from me like you hoped. You're not getting under my skin anymore," She said in an almost careless tone. "Because unlike you I grew up. I left those childish games to the children and I wish you would too."

She began to walk back towards House before taking his hand and starting for the stairs. With a sigh she turned back to Hilary, "I take back what I said, I do feel bad for you." She walked off with her fiancé.

Everyone seemed to watch as Cuddy and House and they parted the crowd like Moses did with the red sea. They suddenly looked after Cuddy as walk off with hand-in hand with her lover with a new founded respect for her that they never seemed to have before.

"Let's play hooky and leave early," House whispered to Cuddy as they walked off the stage. Cuddy smiled at him and nodded and they both headed towards the exit, everyone still staring after them with reverence and admiration.

One Year Later

Cuddy was giggling and panting when her office phone suddenly began to ring. She gave a small chuckle before answering the phone and using the best normal voice she could inch out.

"Dr. Cuddy-House's office," She accidentally panted, but she was able to contain her giggles. She had high finned her name after she and House had gotten married. "Oh hello Lillian," She smiled and let out a small laugh. "No you didn't catch me at a bad time, your timing couldn't be more perfect actually." She stated as she tried go around her desk to her seat - she failed.

"Hello Lisa," Mrs. Michaels smiled into the phone. "I'm guessing since you still refer yourself to your married name that you and Greg are still together."

After the reunion, Cuddy reluctantly became part of the reunion committee since they seemed to be highly impressed with her work a year ago, though she did leave early. They had tracked down her address and while her and House ate their own dinner they proposed their idea. She was reluctant at first, but in the end she was drawn in. Soon after she apologized for the lie she had told them and they just laughed, it was a thing of the past.

Since then Mrs. Michaels and her have stayed in contact.

Cuddy giggled a bit. "He and I are still very much together." She tried not to laugh too much.

Lillian didn't care though, she gave a hardy laugh. "And how are your boys?"

Less than five months ago Cuddy had given birth to two healthy, adorable baby boys. She had named one Jackson P. House and the other Jonathan J. House. Though Rachel is still just 2 ½ she has been such a good big sister to the boys.

"They're good, those boys are such angels. I sometimes wonder how they are House's children." She joked.

"Hey I resent that," House accidentally peeped.

Lillian laughed once more. "I had a feeling you had 'company', Lise." She smiled. "I'll leave you two alone then, take care and don't play too rough. I'm sure you don't want another baby so soon."

Cuddy shook her head at her teacher's openness. "Alright Lillian, thanks for the advice I'll relay it to Greg. Talk to you soon." She hung up.

Then, she suddenly smiled at her husband who was kissing his way past her belly. She giggled and shook her head once more, for him this time, as he smiled innocently up at her.

"You can't deny you love this," House said as he continued to kiss her, but changing his direction to go back up to her lips.

"You're right, I can't lie and say I don't, but I wish you would have stopped while I was on the phone. It could have been a donor." She said as he kissed her chastely on the lips.

"I thought you said you wanted to stop lying." House accused before nipping at her neck once more.

Cuddy laughed before pushing him off. "Fine I didn't want you to stop, but you do have to be careful." She turned her back on him and began to pack her stuff.

House rolled his eyes as he watched her. She was such a worrywart. "Alright, fine." He agreed to stop her from talking.

Cuddy grabbed her bag and finished putting on her jacket. She stood in front of him and smiled before kissing him chastely once more. "Good."

She suddenly dropped her bag on the ground and jumped into House's arms. He cradled her and she grabbed her bag, putting it on her lap. House carried her the best he could and the couple left the hospital, finally a little less miserable than they were a year ago.
