Three months later

House groaned as he began to wake. He could feel something trailing down from the corner of his lips to his collar. He peaked through one eye and smirked before closing his eyes again and relaxing with a sigh.

"If you're going to take advantage of me can't you do it while I'm awake to enjoy it?" He smiled as he opened his eyes once more to look down at his girlfriend.

Cuddy chuckled and looked up from her spot below him with a wolfish smile. "But it's more fun when your unconscious. You don't squirm or wiggle when you feel frisky."

He couldn't help but chuckle at her playful attitude and slowly began to sit up. Cuddy continued to kiss, nip, and suck on his collar, and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her onto the bed next to him. She giggled and laughed as she fell over and snuggled into his chest cutely looking up at him. House smiled at her loving expression and leaned down to kiss her chastely.

"Where's the rest of the House watch squad?" House asked as he looked around at the empty room.

For the past three months House had been surrounded by his loving friends and family. His mother even came down to visit him. She and Lauren had a great discussion about their kids' futures. Jacob and Ginger looked over him along with Walters. Walters and Cuddy were able to begin to bond and find a common interest: House and commanding him.

After spending three months with each other, Cuddy eventually found out about House's bond with Walters. They had been childhood friends, both were military brats and once in a while their parents united. They ended up going to Hopkins together and she had helped him get into the cheerleading squad to impress a girl he likes, only to find out that she was engaged… and Walters knew. Nonetheless, Walters and House were still close friends and when Walters ever needed help or was in trouble House would help her, if only a little. She never wanted their relationship to become "more than friends" with House so she guarded herself, though they did flirt a little. Once she found out that Cuddy had arrived though - knowing House's true thoughts of her - she sizzled it down and decided to play dumb.

"They decided to finally go home, isn't that what you wanted babe? " Cuddy began to kiss her way to his neck again, "For us to be alone."

House smiled and helped her crawl on top of him. She began to kiss his chest and ran her hands along his body. He rubbed her ass and she licked around collar. He moaned in approval and pressed his hands against her large butt, motioning for her to go up higher. Instead Cuddy hopped out of the bed and smirked.

"Not in the hospital," House pouted, but Cuddy began to kiss him once more before whispering seductively into his ear, "But later for sure." Then she stood back and smiled innocently at him. "You're getting discharged tonight. Are you happy?"

"To be back home in bed and sexing you up," House smiled and sat up straight, "Are you really questioning my state of happiness with that obvious thought in mind?"

Cuddy couldn't help but laugh as she sat in the chair that was positioned very closely to her boyfriend's bed and placed a hand on his. Blythe had preoccupied this chair more than anyone. Lauren just came to visit when she could with Rachel and often left when House fell asleep and miraculously arrived back when he woke. Walters would often leave to do her usual work and only visit once in a while, if she was free. As for Jacob, Ginger and Michelson, they abused their boss' situation and often wouldn't come to work at all, though they did periodically check on him. When it was time for everyone to sleep or go home Blythe would often leave with Lauren and stay in the guestroom; even if a chair was free for the taking, Cuddy just crawled into House's bed with him and cuddled into his chest.

"So why are we waiting till tonight to go home and start our us time?" House smirked as he clutched Cuddy's hand in reflex.

She smiled back at him. "They want to check a few more things before they send you on your way. Then, you and I will be fine and alone," She winked.

In the course of three months, when House had insomnia, Cuddy used every will of power she had to stay up with him. They would often spend hours talking, getting closer, and laughing until one of them, usually Cuddy, fell asleep. Of course, House didn't mind that she would fall asleep. He would wrap an arm around her and close his eyes. Surprisingly enough, he could fall asleep easier when she was snuggling into his chest with comfort.

"Mmm, I can't wait," He replied leaning down to kiss Cuddy's cheek tenderly.

Cuddy stayed by House's side as the doctors and nurses completed their final tests. He held his tongue as they entered and re-entered. She smiled thankfully and showed gratitude by snuggling up to him once they were alone again. She even went as far as to let him grope her if only for a few minutes. It had taken three hours and House was finally able to leave at 8 o' clock. He gave a final groan as they wheeled him out in a wheelchair.

After they had gotten outside Cuddy helped House out of his chair and, though he didn't like it, she helped him to her car since his cane had broken in half from the fall off the roof. Once they had gotten into the car, Cuddy rushed towards House's apartment, leaving no room for a meaningful conversation, resulting House a little suspicious.

"I'll grab your bag okay babes?" Cuddy said once they got to his place. She quickly gathered his things and ran inside leaving him alone to go inside without any assistance, furthering his suspicion.

"Yeah, thanks babe," House called out rather loudly and in sarcasm. "Leave the poor crippled man who just got out of the hospital to get out of a car and climb some stairs alone."

"I'm sure you can make the three steps," He heard her laugh as he grabbed the railing.

House smiled as he eased his way up the stairs and took the few steps he needed, to take to get to his apartment, five doors from the entrance. He quickly noticed that Cuddy had left the door open and the lights off, although she probably did the latter since she had no spare hands.

Immediately, he began to feel for the light switch, only one foot away from the door. Once they are switched on, House is greeted with a large surprise, balloons, and the 'House watch' squad. The banner over their heads read "Welcome" and there were streamers and a table full of food. Cuddy quickly made her way back to him with a large, rectangular cake with the words written "We're glad you didn't bleed to death when you got shot" in crimson red icing.

"How touching," House couldn't help but be sarcastic.

"Just be happy for one night," Cuddy told him while getting a finger full of icing into her mouth and sucking it off.

"If you keep that up I definitely will." He joked.

The night was spent laughing and joking with the few close friends that came. After news about House traveled as far as PPTH, Wilson along with House's four past ducklings came down for his party, which of course, Cuddy completely organized. They exchanged short stories and House had a shockingly good time, no one seemed to have changed.

Chase was still his boring self, but he was recently named the head of surgery in Arizona, where he got back in contact with Cameron. He was just talking about the last surgery he had to perform where a man had a tumor in his leg, arm, and neck. It was miraculous how he didn't notice until it began to really swell.

Cameron was the same old head of the emergency room. The only exciting stories she had were ones about car crashes and stitching, none of which interested House.

Foreman became the new head of diagnostics at PPTH, like House had predicted. He hired three completely new ducklings and unlike House, he took all the cases and House didn't feel like listening to a bloody nose story.

Taub had gone back into plastic surgery and he and his wife seemed to patch up all their fixtures, though Taub did occasionally cheat. It still bored House.

House was a bit shocked that Thirteen had died so soon though. As he thought Foreman had decided to take care of her to her final breath.

Before anyone wanted to call it a night Wilson suddenly stepped forward with a box. House looked in confusion as he took the box and everyone smiled anxiously. He slowly opened it and flashed a smile when he saw the vintage cane with a padded handle and flames spiraling around the black wood. He showed his gratitude with a smile as he tried out his new present.

The night had started with crude jokes and old insults, and ended with a reminder of work on Monday and House and Cuddy alone after the party. Cuddy decided to, of course, fulfill her promise from the hospital once everyone was gone since House wasn't a complete asshole during the party and put up with stories she knew he would hate to hear.

"If you're not in the bedroom in five minutes I'm starting without you," She whispered before going to his room with an extra bounce in her step.

House smiled, put his new cane away for the time being and followed her hungrily.


The weekend was ending all too soon and House watched as the woman he loved struggled to get her leggings on, she was still hazy from the weekend activities. She smiled when she had caught House eying her and she came over to him to give him a soft kiss. It was only Sunday, but it was almost midnight and Cuddy knew she had to go if she was going to get a decent hour of sleep.

House couldn't have cared less though. He was her boss and he was more than willing to let her off on a warning. He quickly trapped her in an embrace and held her close to him. Cuddy laughed.

"Let go," She begged as he held her against his chest. "I have to get home so I can show up to work on Monday."

"What if I don't want you to? Call in sick, I'm sure your boss will forgive you," House said as he began to kiss his way to her collar.

"I think my boss would care and Greg, you can't call in sick. Walters was just here Friday, she won't believe you," Cuddy bargained as she struggled to get away from his addictive kisses.

"For once, can't you just live in my fantasy world?" House asked her as he let her go and leaned on his elbow.

"And what happens in your fantasy world?" Cuddy asked, already knowing that it wasn't going to be full of daisies and roses. She sat down to put on her shoes and House sat up and engulfed her in another hug from behind.

"Picture this," He whispered in her ears as he kissed her neck. "You tied with fuzzy handcuffs, naked on the headboard, and calling me master."

Cuddy laughed as she playfully pushed him away and stood up. House landed on his back and gave her a joking growl.

"As romantic and tempting as that sounds I think I'll pass," She gave him a quick peck on the lips before grabbing her purse and making her way towards the door. "See you soon," She winked before leaving.

House watched after her with a satisfied smile. He sure was.

Nine hours later, House was finally able to walk into work. He had a happy smirk on his face as he limped in with a small glow. It soon began to disappear though as he turned towards his kiddies and found one missing, Cuddy.

None of them looked at him, instead motioned toward the desk. He quickly made his way towards it and found a letter, scribbled in Cuddy's quick handwriting. He picked it up and scanned each word before reading it more carefully a second time.

House, I know this is probably going to hurt but I can't work for you anymore. It just won't work out that way and you know it. I still love you very much and I promise, I'll see you soon. I moved out of mom's place so I won't be there. I'm sorry, I just found a better opportunity.

Love,
Lisa

On the bottom, right next to where she signed her name was a red mark that was made by her kissing the paper after applying fresh lipstick and House could smell the perfume she had sprayed on it. It was the perfume she was wearing all weekend.

He furrowed his brows and turned towards the door. "I guess you all won and have the job, we have the three finalists. Congratulations," He said in a dull, out-of-character voice. He then began to limp out, without another word, towards his office.

Later that day, during lunch, House was sitting at his desk with his feet on the table re-reading the letter Cuddy had left him. He called Lauren and she confirmed that Lisa moved and said she wanted to tell him where she lived but she was sworn to secrecy. But before hanging up she did promise that he would be seeing Lisa very soon.
"Hey House," Vinson walked in and saw the paper once more in his friend's hand. "Look, Lisa loves you. She said so on the paper. Just chill man, she didn't go back to Jersey," House ignored his friend and focused on the letter. Maybe there was a hidden message he was supposed to depict. "I'm going down to get some lunch, you coming?" Vinson offered, for once.

"No," House declined the offer of free food. "I'm busy."

Vinson looked in amazement. "Wow, she really got to you." He said, not believing the day would come when his friend - the player, the heartbreaker, the pimp, the ladies man, man's man - actually got struck by woman. He sighed, nothing was going to get this man back on his feet, at least not immediately. He nodded before leaving silently to leave House on his own.

House sat in that seat almost all day. His new team worked on the case that Walters had brought up. He didn't notice, but there was a certain smile of satisfaction on her face that he would normally question, but not today. Today he was too distracted.

As the day turned back into night and his team slowly put together the puzzle pieces, House decided to call in early and go to the bar. He put on his jacket and placed the note, neatly folded into one of the pockets. As he stood there for a moment to collect his thoughts he felt a tug on his pants. He looked down, shocked to find a little girl he knew a little too well for his liking.

"Daddy," Rachel motioned for him to come down towards her. Somehow the traumatic events that happened just a few months ago seemed to have left her unscarred and as perfect an angel as always. "Come here, I have a secret," She smiled.

House, still shocked about seeing her, picked her up slowly. "Hey angel, what are you doing here? Why aren't you with mommy?"

"But I am!" Rachel exclaimed, that's when House noticed the three people in his differential room smiling.

"Rachel," House heard a familiar voice call from the door. He looked up and bit back a smile. "I thought I told you that you had to wait a few weeks and let daddy sweat." Cuddy smirked at him.

"What are you doing here?" House asked in shock as he handed Rachel over, not that he wasn't happy she was still standing before him.

Cuddy held out her hand. "Hello, I'm Dr. Lisa Cuddy, new Head of Endocrinology."

House chuckled as he shook her hand. "Dr. House, Head of Diagnostics, nice to meet you. If you ever need a tour I can always show you around since you're new."

Cuddy gave him a grin. "Ah, Dr. House, I've heard a lot about you," She chuckled, "I'm alright, I got to know this place well enough."

House looked at her once more before taking her into his arms and giving her a kiss on the lips. Cuddy smiled into the kiss.

"Don't you dare ever scare me like that again," House told her as he kissed her neck.

Cuddy had to repress a moan and push him away after she remembered Rachel was in her arms, giggling happily. "Would you punish me if I did?"

House smiled, "Maybe."

They shared one more kiss before leaving hand-in-hand. Everything was finally over.
