I am glad to see that I have plenty of love, a lot from my secret stalkers lurking around the corner. Sorry I did not get to post yesterday. My company was installing new software on our computers, so I did not get to use my computer yesterday. I just sat in my office crying and wishing the download would go faster.

Hot Fun In The Summertime

After dinner, House and Cuddy rode on all of the rides again. To cool off, House and Cuddy went and stood on the bridge that led to the Oceans of Fun park to watch people go down the Monsoon ride.

Cuddy stood in front of House and they both hung onto the railing so when the ride came down, they would not be sent flying because of the wave. When the ride came down, the water splashed against them and left them totally drenched. The guy next to them did not hold onto the railing and got flung back onto his butt. House laughed and then looked over at Cuddy. "You should have worn a white t-shirt," House said.

"I will remember that for next time," Cuddy said.

At 9:00, House and Cuddy went to go watch the light show, where they shoot lasers into the sky.

House sat down in the grass and Cuddy sat down between his legs. She rested her back against House's chest. House wrapped his arms around her and gave her a squeeze.

"I wonder what would happen if an airplane flew over us when the lasers where going off," House said.

"You would have thousands of people running away from the airplane plummeting from the sky," Cuddy said.

A firefly started flying around House's face, so he caught it in his hand. "Here's a present," House said, opening his hand to Cuddy so that she could see the bug lighting up.

"A bug," Cuddy said. "What I always wanted."

"I used to catch this when I was a kid," House said. "I would put them into a jar like you saw on TV to try to make a lantern, but believe me, that doesn't work. Looney Toons lies to kids."

"I know," Cuddy said. "I was 20 before I realized that anvils kill people. I leaned that the hard way."

"Did there used to be a baby brother Cuddy?" House asked as the firefly flew away.

"We decided never to speak of him again," Cuddy said acting like she was choking back tears. She then slapped House's forearm.

"Ow!" House said.

"There was a mosquito on your arm," Cuddy said. House slapped her on the forehead.

"There was a big one on your forehead," House said.

"It must have been big," Cuddy said rubbing her forehead. "You could see it with my back turned to you."

"I was afraid it might mar the perfection of your face," House said.

"Yes and the slap did wonders for it," Cuddy said.

House's cell phone started to ring. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his mom. "I guess I have to answer this," House said.

"She did give birth to you," Cuddy said.

"Hi mom," House said as he answered the phone.

"Happy birthday Greg," Blythe said. "Are you having fun in Kansas?"

"How did you know that I was here?" House asked.

"Lisa told me when I spoke with her on the phone last week," Blythe said. House knew that he really needed to get Lisa to stop calling his mom.

"We are having fun," House said. "We are at an amusement park right now."

"I am glad that you are enjoying your birthday," Blythe said. "Can I speak to Lisa?"

"Yeah," House said. House handed the phone to Cuddy.

"Hi Mrs. House," Cuddy said. House started to scratch Cuddy's scalp with his fingernails. He knew that she loved when he did this.

"I am glad that you are showing Greg a good time," Blythe said.

"I wanted him to have fun, even though he had to go to a conference," Cuddy said.

"Take care of him," Blythe said.

"I am," Cuddy said.

"I love you Lisa," Blythe said.

"I love you too," Cuddy said and then gave the phone back to House. House rolled his eyes at her comment.

"Do you love her more than me?" House asked his mom when he got back on the line.

"I could never love anyone more than you," Blythe said.

"I'm still the favorite," House said to Cuddy. Blythe laughed.

"I will let you two get back to your evening," Blythe said. "I love you."

"Love you too mom," House said.

"That was so sweet," Cuddy said.

"I may be a jerk, but I am not a jerk that hates his mama," House said.

"It shows that there is hope for you," Cuddy said.

The announcer came on and the light show started. Cuddy snuggled more into House as they watched the show together.

"This is a great way to end your birthday," Cuddy said.

"I wish it would never end," House said. Cuddy turned around and gave House a smile. House leaned down and gave her a kiss.

"Oooooh," a couple of teenage boys that sat close to them said.

"You should see what we will be doing tonight," House turned around and said to them.

"Can we watch?" One of the boys asked.

"No!" Cuddy said. House nodded his head yes and winked at the boys. "I can feel you nodding!" Cuddy said.

"I was scratching your head with my chin!" House said innocently.

"Is she always that bossy?" One of the boys asked.

"Ever since she got out of prison," House said.

"This show's over boys," Cuddy said. "Go back to watching the light show."

"Yes boss," House said. Cuddy elbowed him in the ribs. "My liver," House said.

"I learned how to defend myself in prison," Cuddy whispered. House kissed Cuddy on the back of the head.

Cuddy watched the lights as House watched her. House wondered what he ever did to deserve a woman like her. Cuddy was smart, funny, sexy, and loving. Even though she was very different from him, they complemented each other perfectly.

"I love you," House whispered into her ear.

"I love you too," Cuddy said. House rested his chin on Cuddy's head and watched the lights. Something that he usually would find to be so boring was strangely fascinating to him.
