37. Paddington.

Cuddy sighed contently, inhaled the calming odor of her herbal tea. She was six weeks away from delivery and was on vacation due to her risky pregnancy.

She could get used to the calm, stress-free days although she missed her hospital.

Cuddy smiled widely at her little girl, sat next to her on the couch. She was telling her about the movies afternoon she spent with House.

''Paddington is sooo cool! Dad said we'll buy the DVD and watch it everyday with you!'' Rachel said excitedly.

How thoughtful of hi... Dad?

''You mean House?'' Cuddy asked, not sure she heard her well.

Her daughter shrugged. ''He doesn't reply when I call him Howse. He said I should call him what kids call their dads!''

''And you don't mind?''

Rachel shook vigorously her head and told her House had asked the same question, looking at her like she was an alien.

Cuddy had a smile that vanished at the thought that what they were slowly building could be destroyed in a few weeks.
