AN3: Greg still has feelings for his best friend's wife? How can he get past them?
That night as Greg was reading the twins a story he glanced down and saw just how much Isaac looked like his mother. The boy had already fallen asleep and had a small grin on his face. Greg was quiet for a moment and thought about how innocent and perfect his son looked, just like Lorelai. Immy who had only been half asleep woke when she no longer heard her father's voice and sat up slightly before tiredly saying, "Daddy read." Greg looked up and met his daughter's bright blue eyes, seeing that she wasn't far from sleep herself Greg said, "No, you need to lie back down and sleep monkey. I'll stay here until you are asleep, ok?" Immy nodded and laid back against her pillow and Greg knew that she was out before her head was even down.
He waited for a few more minutes to make sure that both his children were sound asleep. He then slowly stood and silently left their room. Out in the hallway Greg heard Lorelai & Nina in the bathroom laughing. It was Nina's bath time and by the sound of everything she was making a mess with the water. He laughed and started downstairs. In the kitchen he found Jay & James sitting at the counter going over Jay's science homework. Jay was having problems with the identifying all the proper species of animals for his project and James was flipping through the book trying to help.
Greg went over and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and leaned against the counter watching the Wilson men do homework. Greg carefully studied Jay's face and realized that he looked like a carbon copy of James. His hair had gotten darker in the past year and there was almost no trace of Lorelai in the young man's appearance. But when Jay spoke, that was where you could tell Lorelai was his mother. The evidence that she had raised the boy to have very definite and specific thoughts on things – he also wasn't afraid to voice his opinion on these things. Grinning slightly Greg realized what he actually meant; Jay had a backbone like his mother – not like James. For years James had let people walk all over him and only since James had married (for the 4th time) and become a father did he apparently grow some courage.
Not wanting to disturb Jay's homework, Greg slipped out of the room and headed down to his own room. He sat on the far end of the room where the television had been placed and turned it on. But he was too absorbed in his own thoughts to focus on the show. In his mind he was watching all the kids play and found himself focusing on what each child looked like. Jay just looked like a shorter, younger version of his father. Nina looked just like Lorelai, but had the same color hair as her father and older brother. Immy looked a lot like him, especially his crystal blue eyes. Isaac was the picture of his mother when she was little. His eyes were the same green that electrified Greg every time he looked at Lorelai.
The children were all very intelligent and well spoken. Greg had taught each of them to play the piano, well he was attempting to teach the twins. They both just liked the way it sounded when they banged on the keys. It seemed they had both gotten his hyperactivity gene. Nina was also still learning, but she wasn't even 5 yet so she had a while to go. Jay's musical ability was amazing. He would spend at least an hour every night sitting at the large piano playing soft melodies that often put Nina to sleep as she had her nightly breathing treatments.
Greg finally turned off the TV because he wasn't paying the least bit of attention. He stood and went over to the shelf where he had pictures of all the kids, and grabbed one that made him smile. It was a picture James had taken the weekend they had brought Immy & Isaac home. He & Lorelai were giving the newborns their first bath. They were completely soaked and laughing. Greg remembered that day and laughed – Nina wanted to play in the water and wound up splashing Greg. At first Lore had scolded her, but Greg quickly shut Lore up by splashing her, which led to him being splashed. When James had taken the picture the moment was forever frozen in time.
Now Greg was replacing the picture on the shelf and searching for another of Lorelai. When he picked up one that was of Lore with Nina & Immy he gasped lightly. He had forgotten about this one, it had been taken a few months before at Christmas. They were all dressed in their party dresses before going to Lore's parents club for the family party. Lorelai was wearing a sparkling green dress, Nina had chosen a sparkling red and they had gotten blue for Immy to match her eyes. They all looked absolutely amazing. Their eyes all lit up in the twinkling lights from the room.
Realizing what he was doing Greg looked up quickly and put the picture back down. He was starting to let his imagination run riot about Lorelai again. Most of the time he could control doing this, but when he had looked at Isaac earlier and had seen Lore in the boy's face – his mind started racing and was flooded with images of her. He had to stop doing this; he couldn't keep fantasizing about Lore. She was married to James and there was no way anything would ever happen between them. Lore was the twins' mom – nothing more!
He needed to get out of the house, because staying here would only keep him in the right place to keep doing what he was doing now. Glancing back at the clock he saw that it was just after 8, still early enough to go out for awhile. He grabbed his jacket off the hook beside the door, keys for the bike and headed out. James & Jay were still in the kitchen and when Greg grabbed the door that led into the garage James said, "Where are you going?" Greg half looked back at him and said, "I'm just going out for awhile. Is that alright with you Dad?" James furrowed his brow and said, "House!" Greg fully turned to James and in the same tone as James he said, "Wilson! I'm a big boy now Jimmy, I can take care of myself. You don't need to wait up for me." Greg then turned and was gone.
Jay looked up at his father and saw the anger and impatience in James's eyes. Knowing that James wouldn't be able on concentrate on helping him any longer Jay closed the book and said, "These aren't due til next week anyway Dad. Don't worry about them now." James was quiet for a few seconds and then smiled slightly saying, "Thanks buddy." He then kissed the top of Jay's head, ruffled his hair and said, "Don't stay up too late ok?" Jay nodded and watched as his father left the room and went upstairs. He knew that his dad wasn't happy about Uncle Greg leaving, but he didn't know why.
Upstairs Lore was just leaving Nina's bedroom after having gotten the girl to bed. James met her in the hallway and said, "House just left!" Lorelai turned quickly and said, "What? Where'd he go? Did you two have a fight?" James scoffed, but shook his head before saying, "Why is it always MY fault if Greg leaves? His temper is worse than mine!" Lore then thought for a moment and repeated, "Where'd he go?" James shrugged and said, "No we didn't fight and he didn't say where he was going. He just said that we didn't need to wait up for him."
Greg sat down on a barstool and quickly ordered a beer. As he waited for the bartender to fill his order Greg looked around the smoky bar. He smirked slightly and thought to himself, 'This will definitely get my mind off Lore. She wouldn't be in a place like this!' Spinning back around Greg saw the bartender sit his beer in front of him and say, "That'll be $2.50 man." Greg slapped 2 twenties in the guy's hand and said, "I'm going over to that table in the corner after awhile bring me another one and keep them coming."
An hour and 9 beers later Greg looked up and saw a woman with dazzling green eyes standing in front of his table. She was wearing a tight black tank top that rivaled Cuddy's best low-cut numbers and a skin tight short leather skirt. Greg smiled pervertedly and looked up further than her chest. The slutty smirk on her face only helped to fuel Greg's obvious lust. She slid down beside him and placed her hand between his legs before saying, "You look like you need a friend." He groaned softly when she got closer and closer to his crotch. She only smiled and kept rubbing. Greg finished his latest beer and said, "Why don't we get out of here, I really do need friend, just not here!" The woman giggled and slid out of the seat.
Then as she watched Greg slowly stand she said, "Oooh, that cane is sexy as hell." Greg rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah the cane is sexy. Don't mess with my leg and everything will be fine alright babe?" The woman's smile quickly faded as she heard the seriousness in Greg's voice and she nodded. Greg grabbed her hand and started for the door, only stopping for a second at the bar to say to the bartender, "I'm leaving, keep the change." The bartender then half smiled and nodded to Greg and said, "Thanks man."
When they had exited the bar Greg fished his keys out of his pocket and said, "Don't have a problem with riding on the back of my bike do you?" The smile now returned to the woman's face as she said, "Oh hell no, I love bikes! We can go to my place." Greg climbed onto the bike and said, "Good, just tell me where to go." She also climbed on and gave him the directions to her apartment building.
Pulling into a parking place the woman jumped off the bike and grabbed Greg's arm. She pulled him into a heated kiss and shoved her tongue into Greg's mouth. He moaned slightly as he pulled her closer and cupped her ass. She leaned back slightly and said, "Come on, let's go inside. It will be way more fun in there." Greg nodded and allowed himself to be led inside.
She slammed the door shut and quickly redid all the locks before yanking her shirt up over her head and turning back to Greg. He had already taken his jacket off and dropped it on the floor when she turned and was now removing his t-shirt. Greg grinned when he saw that his mystery woman wasn't wearing a bra and said, "Get over here." When he grabbed her, he instantly started kissing her neck and rubbing her breasts. She had wrapped her arms around him and was now tightly gripping his shoulder blades.
Before long they were both completely naked and headed for the bed in the one room apartment. The woman pushed House down onto the bed and straddled him, but before she did anything else she said, "I don't even know your name." He shrugged and said, "Just call me House, what's yours?" Smiling she tried out his name, "House huh? You can call me Layla." Greg nodded, but didn't speak. He only grabbed Layla's hips and started moving her.
It was over an hour later when House grunted loudly and fell back against the bed. Layla smiled widely and carefully climbed off House. Lying down beside him she said, "You were amazing House." When she didn't say anything else House thought she immediately fell asleep. Greg sighed, rolled over, pulled Layla closer and said, "You were too Lore, night baby," and he was out. Layla opened her eyes and looked up at Greg's sleeping face and quietly asked, "Who is Lore…" knowing that the man was already asleep she was just thinking out loud.
Next chapter: Greg shows up to work with a hang-over, what will James say?
