Chapter 3

As they got to the door, House started to fidget with his tie. Cuddy saw House's actions and gently smacked his hands away. Her smile was never ending, it also gave House hope that tonight wasn't going to be a dreadful night after all.

"House, stop messing with your tie." Cuddy berated.

"I thought we were going by first names." House said nervously.

"Okay, Greg will you please stop messing with your tie?" Cuddy asked sweetly.

"I'm sorry Lisa, this does not feel right. I have a bad feeling about tonight." House said truthfully.

"Hey, whatever happens tonight, I'm here. I'm not going to leave your side." Cuddy gave him a comforting smile.

"Thanks Lise."

"Welcome." Cuddy replied placing a soft, lingering kiss on his lips.

They had just pulled apart when Cuddy heard the door being unlocked to expose a tall, grey-haired man. His smile quickly faded after he saw House standing there beside Cuddy.

"Lisa! Oh, hello Dr. House." Cuddy's dad said as if he was disappointed already. House suddenly got the nervousness again.

"Dad. Be nice." Cuddy warned her father knowing where this was going.

"Sorry Lisa, I just figured you'd be with Lucas. Is he running late? Thanks for dropping her off Dr. House." Cuddy's mouth dropped had her father just said that? Her anger started to form.

"Dad! Greg, I'm so sorry." Cuddy's face showed anger towards her father and hurt and concern for House.

"It's fine. I will just uh… just call me when you are ready to come home." House was hurt and he felt guilty that Cuddy picked him over someone her father truly likes.

"Greg! No! You are not leaving! Dad! You had no right to just say that!" Cuddy was not holding back her anger now. House was just hurt by her own father, she was going to do something.

"Lisa! What's going on here?" Cuddy heard the voice she was hoping for, other wise her father wasn't going to think so highly of his 'Over achiever'.

"Mom! Dad just said things he shouldn't have. Make him apologize or we are leaving." Cuddy was standing her ground, she grabbed House's hand before he could turn around and walk away.

"Lise, calm down it's fine. I actually have some paper work to do, it's fine just call me when you're ready to come home."

"NO! IT'S NO OKAY! HE HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THIS! DAD YOU WENT TOO FAR! Greg PLEASE. IF GREG GOES I GO!" Cuddy was no longer withholding her anger she shot her father a glare that looked as if they were throwing daggers. Her father's face went white as his daughter fought for the man beside her. Her mother stood beside her husband with a huge grin on her face seeing her daughter stand up for what she loves.

"Aunt Arlene what's…. Oh my god! LISA!" Molly yelled from the hallway.

"Molly, hey how's it going?" Cuddy asked still glaring at her father.

"Uh, it's going better than what just happened here. What did Uncle Tom do this time?" Molly asked walking over to Cuddy crossing her arms across her chest.

"He went too far! Now he is trying to decide if he wants me to stay or if I leave. What's the your answer dad?" Cuddy held her grip on House's hand. She was surprised he wasn't yelling back at her dad, he was silent the whole time besides when he tried to solve the problem. She was starting to worry.

"You BOTH are staying! End of story." Arlene put her foot down, she hasn't seen her daughter for a month and she's finally happy. That's all Arlene cared about.

"Is this the famous Greg you've been telling me about?" Molly asked turning to face both House and Cuddy.

"Yes, this is. Molly this is Greg. Greg this is my nineteen year old cousin Molly. Molly has been like my little sister." Cuddy said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you Molly." House and offering his free hand.

"Like wise. Lisa has told me a lot about you." Molly replied shaking House's hand.

"MOLLY!" Lisa replied suddenly. Knowing where that conversation was going.

"Oh relax Lisa, I wasn't going into detail." Molly replied walking a few inches to give Cuddy a hug.

"You're right Lisa. He is hotter in person." Molly whispered in Cuddy's ear.

"He is mine Molly!" Lisa said pulling House softly and following Molly, completely ignoring her father.

As Cuddy lead House through the hallway he noticed pictures and awards. He looked closer and noticed Cuddy's name on them as well as another name he assumed was her sister. He came to a complete stop when he noticed a certain picture. Cuddy felt him stop and turned around.

"Hey. Are you okay?" She asked walking over to him.

"Yeah, just looking at the pictures." House was looking at one mainly and Cuddy noticed.

"That was a fun night." Cuddy said pointing to the picture of the two young kids standing outside a football stadium.

"You remember that night?" House seemed stunned that she remembered.

"Of course I remember that night. It was cold and you gave me your coat while we were standing in line." Cuddy recalled smiling.

"It was a great game. But what made it worth going was the fact you agreed to go with me." House turned to face her.

"How could I say no? You were taking me to a football game, plus you were cute. There was no saying no. I had to take my chance to be with you." Cuddy replied looking him in the eyes.

"I'm still surprised you agreed to go with me seeing how I was a pain in the ass who thought he knew everything."

House was showing a side of him that was very rare.

"Well, pain in the ass know it all or not, I fell in love with you then and I'm still in love with you now." Cuddy replied tearing up a little.

"I have something to show you." House said while pulling out his wallet and turning it towards her.

"You've kept this in your wallet?" Cuddy was shocked to see the same picture in his wallet.

"That's one reason Stacy left. She found this picture in my wallet and knew I wasn't over you…that I'd never be over you." House's words caused tears to fall down Cuddy's face.

Down the hall, Cuddy's parents stood standing by the door watching the scene playing out in front of them. Cuddy's mom stood with tears in her eyes, her husband stood in anger seeing his daughter cry.

"Tom, No." Arlene caught her husband's arm.

"He is making her cry." He whispered back still angry.

"NO, she is happy. Just watch. And change your attitude towards Greg. He is making Lisa happy, that's all that matters. You are to apologize to him after this." Leave it to Cuddy's mom to tell her husband how it is, yet he knew he was wrong.

Tom and Arlene stood by the door silently watching what was playing out before them. Tom agreed to apologize to House after the celebration, he also noticed Cuddy's smile. He could tell she was truly happy.

"Hey, don't cry. This isn't suppose to make you cry." House replied motioning for Cuddy to sit down.

"What are you?" Cuddy was caught off guard by House kneeling down in front of her.

"I planned to do this later, but tonight right here seemed to be the right time." House replied.

"Greg, your leg." Cuddy said suddenly.

"Is fine. Lisa, we have been through a lot and I'm sure we will go through more. But I do not want to go through it alone, well not alone alone but never mind. I would love to give you everything yet I do not know if I can. But I promise you I'll never let you down. So with that being said. Lisa will you marry me?" House exposed a little velvet box and opened it. Inside contained a beautiful engagement ring. Cuddy's eyes filled with more tears. She nodded and said softly, "YES!" with that House slid the ring on her finger, wiped her tears away and kissed her.

*Flashback- Jets game*

Everyone was coming out of the stadium. Jets fans as far as the eye could see cheering and tripping over their own feet because they had a "little to much to drank". Greg and Lisa walked out of the stadium laughing at everyone's stupidness which they gave all credit to the beer in everyone's hands.

"Well, that was a good game." Lisa said dodging a drunk man who had barely missed her as he tripped.

"That was a great game. And just so you know to avoid these dumb drunk ass people is to not walk slowly or walk into them." Greg replied grabbing Lisa's hand pulling her towards him.

"Gee Greg, I didn't think of that." Lisa responded sarcastically.

"Just thought I'd try to help." His smile grew wider.

"Thank you for letting me come." Lisa looked him in the eyes.

"Thanks for coming." He couldn't help but get that nervous feeling in his stomach.

'God I love this girl' was his only thought.

"Would you stop standing there and kiss me already!" Lisa smiled knowing she caught him off guard.

"It would be my honor." Greg smiled as he leaned down to kiss her.

About that time there was a flash and they broke apart to see their friends standing in front of them with a camera in hand. Their smiles grew wider.

"We expect two of those Helen." Lisa said snuggling closer to Greg.

"You can bet on it." Helen replied as her grin grew wider at her friends actions.

'They are destined to be together' Helen thought as she put her camera away.

"You still cold Lise?" Greg asked, he knew something was different about this girl. He knew that she was the one the only one for him.

"Yes." was her only response before Greg wrapped his arms around her.

"Better?" He whispered softly in her ear.

"Much much better." Her smile gave him the hope he needed that promised a tomorrow worth living for.

Lisa tilted her head up to meet his lips and they stood underneath the stars on a cold fall night and kissed.
