After entering his apartment, he went straight to the cabinet in the kitchen. Grabbing his bourbon, he settled on the leather couch with his back leaned against the arm rest. Staring through the liquid, he tried to remember everything that had happened during the day, every expression that he observed on her face, little things that he can analyze. Now that he met her again, everything just… just seems liked slipping away, slipping from his grasp. He felt like a damn has been broken, his feelings are all over the place. He felt overwhelm. The feeling that he thought have died, now suddenly came out of nowhere. And now he's questioning his feeling towards Alex. He love Alex, he knew that, but when he saw Cuddy, he felt like he just woken up from a long sleep. His heart was pounding so fast that he thought his aorta was going to burst. Is there such a thing as loving two person at the same time? One is his past. Yes, Cuddy is his past. And Alex is his present and future. She was his saviour, she rescued him from his misery and when he thought there's no one for him, she showed up. Cuddy, he really thought that she was the one for him. His last chance at happiness (whatever that means). For better or worse, she was there too, she was by his side during the infarction, she was there after and years after that, dancing in a pattern that suits them. But in the end she did abandoned him. That's what really matter. And Alex, she never left him behind. But that doesn't stop him from wondering what she's doing right now.

"hey." Alex said into the phone that was supported by her left shoulder.

"ehmmm…"

"I miss you"

"yeah..I couldn't sleep last night. I'll be back in half an hour?" House said in his raspy voice

"kay…wait, Sara wants to talk to you. And don't say yes yet to whatever she's asking"

"hi daddy!"

"what's up kiddo?" he asked, pulling his self up into a sitting position.

"I dreamt last night! We were all in the park, the baby was there too! And guess what? We were all playing with a dog!" Sara said.

House stayed silent "dadddyyyy..." Sara whine

House laughed "what?..Are you suggesting we get a dog?"

"yes…?"

"we'll talk about this when I get back okay?" He said shaking his head. This was what Alex warned about.

Alex was chopping the onion when House crept behind her and embraced her from behind, his head on her right shoulder. "don't do that! how was the man cave?" she asked turning around, both her hands settled at his neck.

"dusty, dirty and stale. I wouldn't recommend it." He shook his head and leaned down to steal a kiss.

"so…what are you doing tonight?"

House raised his eyebrow "you know what I'm doing tonight…so what are YOU doing tonight?" he asked suggestively.

"well..since you're going bowling with Rob..maybe I had asked Lisa to come over?"

"maybe?"

"fine. I invited her to come over"

"she's okay with coming here? I mean with me here?"

"well, you're not going to be here the whole time she's here. I guess she's okay with it"

House just nodded "I guess I'm okay with it too" he said looking nonchalant, and exited the kitchen after he caressed her stomach, thinking about the probability of meeting Cuddy tonight. If he kick Rob's ass faster tonight, he'll probably be home before she gets a chance to leave.
