Chapter 8

I missed you

Previously...

Forcing herself to move, she made her way to House's office. As soon as she got to the door, she noticed that the curtains were closed. So she tried to open the door. And it opened, as if he was waiting for her.

With a deep breath, Cuddy got inside the office.

Cuddy got inside House's office. It was dark, because of the curtains but after a quick look, she saw that House was fast asleep on his ottoman. She silently made her way next to him, and sat on the floor. It made some noise, but he stayed there, sound asleep.

And Cuddy sat there, for a few minutes, just watching his sleep. At first, she wanted to wake him up but now? She wouldn't. It's just he seemed... so peaceful.

House's eyes opened slowly, a bit unfocused. He blinked a few times, and gave a usual quick look around the room. That was when he saw her.

The most beautiful woman he had ever known.

Cuddy saw the look of amusement and surprise on his eyes. She smiled. After so many years, she could still make him look at her with the same amusement and surprise that the day they first met.

A lot of time passed, without any one of them say a word, just analyzing each others, and remembering the good memories between them.

-I'm sorry –House said, almost in a whisper, and Cuddy almost didn't hear it.

-You don't have anything to be sorry about. –She answered back.

House's eyes widened in surprise, and Cuddy smiled again. Before keep talking.

-I'm sorry House; I shouldn't have told the cops were you were. You trusted me, and...- She started sobbing.

House sat up and took his feet out of the ottoman. He took Cuddy's hand and she sat where his legs were before.

-Cuddy, it's ok.

-What? –Now her eyes widened in surprise and he smiled. Now, he honestly didn't care whose fault was, or what had happened. He just wanted to be with Cuddy again. His Cuddy. Except that this time, he wanted it to be forever.

And so did she.
- I was wrong on driving a car into your living room in the first place. I should have known that you had moved on, and you had all the right to do so. –He looked away. –Guess I was jealous.

She put one hand on his face, what made him look back to her.

-I'm sorry for breaking up with you over one vicodin.-This time, she looked away. - It's just... i was nervous and I thought you didn't care about me.

- Lisa... –When he said her first name, she looked back instantly.

-The only thing I care about more than anything is you.

- I know. I'm sorry.

This time, they both stayed silent again, just staring each other's eyes, as if sharing the things that happened while they were away from each other.

-I suppose I can forgive you, but with one condition- He said, on a mocking tone. She smiled.

-That is?

-You becoming my girlfriend again. –He answered, but now serious.

Her smile faded, and she looked on his eyes. She saw hope and a little of fear, as if afraid that she wouldn't want to get back with him.

Silence fell like a rock over the room. On one hand, she wanted nothing more than to say yes, and get to spend the rest of her life with the man that she loved, every since she first saw the other hand, this wasn't just about needed a father and House... He just wasn't like , he and Rachel got along very well, nut he wasn't always that good guy. –Images if the crash and of their breakup came floating to her closer her eyes,as if trying to make them go away.

-So? –House took her away from those thoughts. He had a hopeful tone.

Cuddy didn't answer .Instead, she got closer to him, and he smiled,a little before their lips touch.

And they kissed, on a kiss that represented all of the good things that had happened between them, every since they met, and they love for each other. It was suck an intense kiss that lasted over a minute,before they broke apart, longing for air.

After a few seconds, Cuddy spoke:

-Does this answer your question?

House, was still breathless, but he nodded. Suddently,he got his diagnostician tone on.

-What did Rachel do 2 weeks ago?

Cuddy understood what he was doing and took a little time to think, before answer.

-She was at her grandmother's house.

-Does your mom have any kind of bird?

-yes, a parrot, why?

House didn't reply. Instead, he just stood up, and limped to the door, as fast as he could, and then to the elevators. Cuddy didn't bother on asking what he was doing. She knew him long enough to know what had happened.

House had found out what was wrong with Rachel.

Rachel's room

House stormed in like a hurricane, and almost stumbled on Chase, that was just getting out to do some tests.

-House! What the...

-It's not lupus. –House cut Chase.

-Great! Than what it is? –He asked.

Instead of answering, House went to Rachel's bed and spoke, softly.

-Rachel, wake up.

As if magic, Rachel opened her eyes. She looked instantly to House, and her eyes widened in joy.

-Hows!-She was almost falling of the bed, with excitement

-Hey kiddo! How are you doing?

-I...

Cuddy that went to Wilson's office and told him what was going on before go down there, had just got to the door and saw it. House was talking to Rachel, that was listening and extremely happy. She smiled. House was much more than just a friend to Rachel. He was her father.

-Start the treatment for psittacosis.-He told Chase that nodded and left the room. Then, house's eyes fell back tothe person standing at the door.

Cuddy's smile let him breathless, and he smiled too. Then, Cuddy came closer and hugged him. They stayed that way for a long time. Until Cuddy let go,and looked up, her eyes full of tears. Joy tears.

-Thank you so much.-She got closer

- Any time you want. – She smiled.

- I love you –House said. Cuddy's smile widened.

-I love you too.- He smiled a little, before their lips got together.

And they kissed, on such a passionate kiss that...

-Hey! Get a room you two! – Wilson, that was at the door, said.

House and Cuddy broke their kiss, and House looked to him with a look that could kill anyone. Wilson just smirked.

-Well, you see jimmy boy, we are already in a room.

- What about a room were there aren't patients? –He said and looked at Rachel, that was smiling for her parents.-Or kids?

Cuddy blushed and House smiled.

-Is she going to be ok? –Wilson asked, changing the subject.

Cuddy looked over to Rachel, that was also curious about her answer.

-She will-Cuddy answered, and looked back to House, and held his hand.

-And so are we. –House's smile widened and they kissed again. Wilson grinned and Rachel closed her eyes.

For the first time on a very long time, things were going to be ok.

The end

A/N: Liked it? Well, this isn't the best end to a fic, but it's still good. Thank you for reading it until the end. About the disease, it's on season 2, episode 3. The difference is that Rachel only had psittacosis, and this guy had also endocarditis, so it was the perfect disease. Well, for now I'm planning a glee fanfic, but how knows? Maybe I'll be back with a huddy fanfic in no time. Thank you again for reading, and I hope to see you soon!
