(Here it is folks the latest chapter! Sorry for the long delay but school has been taking up most of my time recently. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it. Please read and review.)

When House returned home he was met by the sight of Cuddy holding Alice, the oldest of the twins by two minutes in her arms. As Lisa met his gaze there was a comfort and warmth about her that House craved.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"Did you find Wilson?"

"Yup."

"And?"

"My suspicions were confirmed. He has completely lost his mind…" That's when House began to tell Cuddy all about his run in with Wilson and how the oncologist's only desire was to get away from Princeton for awhile and live life the House way for awhile. That is, no interaction with people and absolutely no interaction with the outside world. The only bright side to the story was when House shrugged his shoulders and replied with a heavy sigh…..

"Well, at least he hasn't started walking with a limp that would just be you know, weird."

At this comment Cuddy smiled and continued to rock little Alice who had fallen fast asleep only minutes before. Looking at the small child, House's mind drifted away from Wilson for the moment and on to a softer and happier subject, his soon to be wife and children.

"Oh, let Wilson deal with his own problems, I've had it.(Pause) She has your eyes."

"And your smile."

After they had put the children to bed, House and Cuddy made themselves comfortable on the sofa and relaxed. It was nice to get away from the hospital, patients and screwed up friendships for awhile.

As they sat together, nestled in the comfort of each other's embrace Cuddy was able to sense House's every move, when he was tense and when he relaxed. She knew it had been a hard day for him and she tried her best to be there for him as best she could.

What the hell is Wilson thinking?

"Lisa…"

As she heard House speak her name, Cuddy looked into his eyes and saw the wandering glare surrounded by that intense blue light. That's when it hit her, I don't need to be his savior, just his partner.

"I need you to promise me something."

"What?"

"I need you to promise me that no matter what happens between us, no matter how much of an ass I may be at times, no matter how crazy things may or may not be…we'll never end up like Wilson, alone and torn apart. I've been there before and I'm not going back again."

At this question Cuddy kissed House on the lips and sighed while holding him closer to her.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Why not?"

That's when a smile crept over Cuddy's lips as she whispered into House's ear.

"Because it feels to good being together, don't you agree?"

"I do." Those two words brought a smile to House's lips as he held Cuddy tighter and kissed her softly.

"I love those words."

"Me too."

At this moment, all the other noises in the room drifted away as House and Cuddy were caught up within each others intense gaze. Never before had two people been so in love and now it was being brought to the surface. Even through all the cat and mouse games they had played with each other over the years the love was always there.

The next morning…….

Cuddy awoke to find herself lying in bed with the sheet and bed clothes draped lovingly over her body. As nice a feeling as this was she couldn't remember how she had gotten there. The last thing the dean of medicine remembered was being in the living room with House and then falling asleep.

An enticing aroma filled the air at that moment and as she got out of bed Cuddy swore she could hear the sound of an oh so familiar baritone voice fill her ears. As she reached the kitchen Lisa was glad to see her suspicions had been confirmed as she laid eyes upon House singing to himself while making breakfast.

Heart and soul, I fell in love with you,lost control, the way a fool would do, Gladly...Because you held me tight,And stole a kiss in the night..Heart and soul, I begged to be adored,Lost control, and tumbled overboard, Gladly...That magic night we kissed,There in the moon mist.

Turning around to face the love of his life, House smiled affectionately towards Cuddy while his face took on a pinkish hue.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, your blushing."

"Damn, you caught me. You hungry?"

As they ate in silence the peaceful quiet of the room was a nice treat to wake up to as was the meal. No matter how many times she tried House's cooking Lisa was always amazed by how delicious everything tasted.

"That was delicious."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, however I seem to recall falling asleep somewhere other then where I woke up. Do you know anything about that?"

"No idea." At this House shrugged while finishing the rest of his meal in silence as a smirk spread out across his lips.

"That's what I thought."

After breakfast the day went on as usual with both House and Cuddy returning to work at Princeton Plainsboro teaching hospital both secretly wishing for a chance to get away from it all, preferably with each other.
