"Lisa, I know I said this already, but I'm just so proud of you!" House said, squeezing her hand.
"Thanks, Greg. It was tough."
"I could tell. But I was here, and you knew I would be."
"Of course I knew that. Greg, I'm just so happy!"
"I am too, Lisa."
"I mean, we're parents, of twins now!"
"I know, I never thought that would happen!"
"I didn't either. It will be tough, but we can pull through it."
"Yes, we can." Greg said. Lisa then scooted over, and Greg climbed up on the bed with her, his arms wrapped protectively around her.
"How do you feel?"
"A little sore, but that's about it."
"I'm glad."
"I'm just glad it's over. That was the single most painful thing I ever had to do."
"I could tell. I'm sorry that you had to go through that."
"I wanted to. I wanted the natural process."
"Well, for that, you are brave. And I'm so proud of you."
"You said that three times already…maybe more."
"I know, I'm just a proud fiancé and father."
"Well, some of that pride better wear off soon. It can make you into a real ass."
"Oh, really…it can, can it? Do you know how much of your bitching I put up with for these nine months?"
"Okay, okay. The point has been taken, Greg. Thank you for putting up with me. Not once did you yell or complain."
"I know. I just wanted to help you, though."
"Well, thanks." And she kissed him. They both fell asleep like that for a few hours. A few hours later, a knock came at the door. Greg and Lisa struggled awake.
Greg moaned. "What time is it? I'm so tired…"
"I don't know…come in." Lisa called. The door opened, and Cameron entered, carrying the babies.
"How are you two feeling?"
"We're both really tired."
"Well, I thought it has been four hours, you might want to hold your babies. Lisa may even want to feed them." Cameron said, closing the door behind her. Greg nudged Lisa, because she'd fallen back asleep. She jolted up.
"What? What's wrong?" She said. Cameron laughed.
"Here's Jessica." She said, and handed her to Greg. She handed William to Lisa.
"This is the beginning of a beautiful life, isn't it?" Lisa said.
"Yes, it is. The start of a beautiful life and a beautiful adventure." Greg said, smiling down at Jessica.
And so it was. They had their hard times, but it was all an adventure, to be treasured forever.

Okay, I know it's a cheesy ending, but I just wanted to end it so I can finish "In Vitro Equals Love" and start a new story. So, the sooner I finish "IVEL", the sooner I will have a new story. And then I will take a brief hiatus from writing, probably just for a few weeks. I need to rest after updating so many stories and creating a new one. So, bear with me. Just one more story to complete before I start a new one. Oh, and review!
