A/N: So House isn't really in this one, it's mainly Cuddy but you will definitely see a lot more of him. Please Read&Review!

He spun around to meet her smiling shyly and biting her lip.

"So you kinda like me, huh?" she said.

He chuckled and pulled her into a passionate kiss. He smiled against her lips and whispered "Just a little". One of his hands wrapped around her waist while the other cupped her voluptuous ass.

She was surprised, to say the least. She went from her preparing for a heated banter to passionately kissing Gregory House on her doorstep all in a matter of minutes. Their lips meshed together and words were no longer good enough to express how they felt. Sparks were flying and one of her hands made its way up to his hair while the other cupped his jaw. They both let go to get air from which they were deprived from, then proceeded with the make-out session. Their lips smashed to together and House left no time to slip his tongue past her soft supple lips, when they heard a small cry inside. No doubt it was Rachel awakening from her slumber.

Damn it Cuddy thought as they both broke away from the electric kiss. She looked almost embarrassed at their interruption.

"I've gotta go—"she said just above a whisper.

"Yeah I know" he said diffidently

He quickly turned and left leaving her to tend to her little girl.

The Following Tuesday….

He sat there twiddling the long navy box between his fingers as he sat at his desk. Once again he was left to make a big decision. To give this to Cuddy or to not. If he gave this to her it showed he accepted the spawn. But it wasn't her spawn—it was just a spawn. He sighed, he already kissed her there was no more leading on. She didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve her. It was as simple as that.

He needed more time to think. He dropped the box on his desk and went to clinic, one of the few places she wouldn't find him.

She let out a small sigh as she signed off a procedure, she was doing that a lot lately. She frowned, he was avoiding her. Mind you she didn't come in yesterday although she did stop by for an hour to show Dr. Ribeiro the hospital and get some paperwork. There was no going to this man; she had to wait for him this time.

She liked him although he insisted on her calling him Leo. His accent was to die for as she put it and he was quite the charmer. He asked to start Tuesday although she found it a bit odd that he wanted to go right to work-- but the sooner the better, right? He was a very famous neurologist that also specialized in infectious disease, which she couldn't help but think was strange…

She decided to take her lunch break but as she made her way out the clinic and into the lobby, her ears were suddenly filled with a beautiful sound that appeared to be the classical guitar. She couldn't help but be amazed that this addictive sound was coming from a girl around 16 or 17's guitar. She made her way across the room discreetly and sat as close to the girl as possible without her thinking she was some sort of stalker and let her mind drift to happy thoughts.

"You like how I play, huh?" the girl said with smirk. Cuddy shook herself from her daydream to focus on what the girl was saying. She was speaking with an accent that seemed all too familiar. The girl's eyes were a breathtaking green color and she had long brown curly hair that was about three inches off her elbow. She seemed to be wearing a dark blue private school outfit and had a backpack seated beside her along with her guitar case.

Cuddy blushed knowing she had been caught "It's very beautiful… you're very good--- really good actually"

The girl smiled shyly, "thank you very much… it's called Cavatina"

Cuddy smiled and nodded later saying "I'm Dr. Lisa Cuddy"

"I'm Juliana Ribeiro, nice to meet you" she smiled and put her hand out for a shake.

"Any relationship Leo Ribeiro?"

"He's my father" she giggled and rolled her eyes. Cuddy looked at her funny as to why she was laughing.

"Ever since that stupid actor Leonardo Di Caprio has become famous my father refuses to go by his first name." she explained.

"Oh" she chuckled "that explains it"

Juliana couldn't help but think how even when laughed she noticed something off. Like she was secretly sad? But she shrugged it off.—Wait this was the woman who that strange doctor with the cane didn't have the balls to pursue? She thought. She had seen the other male doctor hobble around on his cane, he seemed to be a little nervous walking down here. She was curious about this relationship and what she heard from the nurses led her to believe that they were just dancing around each other. Well that will have to change she thought.

"Well I'm going to head to lunch, it was very nice meeting you Juliana" she said sweetly. Although Cuddy wouldn't admit it, the girl's music had a very soothing effect on her.

"You too" She smiled again making a dimple appear in her cheek just like her fathers and got up to shake her hand. She wasn't as tall as Cuddy in heels but she was getting there.

Cuddy's heels clicked as she walked away leaving the girl very curious.

One Hour Later…

Cuddy came back from her lunch break and made her way through her second pair of office doors when she hit something leaving whatever she hit on the ground and her flailing her arms to keep her balance, fortunately she was the lucky one to be standing on two feet.

"Oh I'm so sorry" as she helped the person up.

"Juliana? ... What were you doing in my office? " it appeared to be the girl she had met earlier.

Juliana stopped holding her head and brushed her skirt off. "I was going to ask you if you knew where my father would be, he's not in his office so I was going to wait for you to ask you. But then I decided I would just ask one of his colleagues that works in his department. So now I'm here." She said casually.

"Well considering that its around 1:30 I'd say he's probably at lunch" she smirked.

"Oh right, I'm so sorry to have disturbed you." she then quickly left.

Cuddy sighed and started going over meetings in her head. As she approached her desk she noticed something different. There on top of a stack of papers sat a long navy velvet box...
