Dearest Readers,

"Remember our motto: My name is Bill and I like tight panties [sic]."

Read on, Cherubs.

Over and out.

Weekend Plans

"Go away." House mumbled, pulling the blanket over his head.

"Nope. Get up Lazy-Bones." Chase said, yanking the blanket away.

"What time is it?"

"10:00, why?"

"It's Saturday."

"So?" House sighed deeply.

"Saturdays are my lazy days."

"Well not today!" Chase said happily, hoping onto the bed, making House bounce.

"Go away, Blondie." House said, pulling the blanket back over his head. Chase smiled as an idea formed in his head. He stood on the bed and began to jump up and down.

"Stop that." House said, annoyed.

"Nope! Not until you get up and ready for the day!" Chase said, continuing to jump. House sighed deeply again, pulling himself out of bed.

"Fine...you win."

"I knew you'll see it my way." Chase said, jumping one last time on the bed and then hoping off, shuffling out of their bedroom. House slumped back onto the mattress.

If this is how he's going to be when we get married, I can only rely on my low sense of self-control to not kill him.

HouseXChase

He flopped down on the couch next to Chase, who was flipping through their address book. Chase picked up his steaming cup of coffee and took a sip as he landed on a particular page. House noticed the blonde's hesitation and uneasiness.

"What is it?" House asked, concerned about his change in behavior. Chase looked up at him uncertainly.

"What...what about...your parents?" He asked nervously, not sure how House would react.

House sat back in the couch, pondering the question. Should they invite his parents to their wedding? He hasn't spoken to them in quite some time...a few years. He wasn't sure if it would be a good idea. He never even told them that he was gay, so he didn't know how they would react if they found out that he was marrying Chase.

His thoughts and emotions started to become conflicted with each other.

He knew that he should invite them because they're his parents and every parent wants to see their child get married. But at the same time, he didn't know how they would react if they realized that he was marrying a man.

An idea dawned on him.

What if he took Chase to meet them before deciding if he wants to invite them or not? That seemed like a reasonable idea...and the only one he had. He looked down into his coffee cup.

"You haven't met them yet...do you want to?" Chase hesitated for a moment.

"I do, but if you don't feel comfortable with that I understand, but I would like to meet them." So that answered House's question.

"Alright...then that's what we'll do."

"You're sure?" House hesitated for a moment.

"Yeah." He said, picking up the phone and walking to the balcony.

"Hello?" His heart thundered in his chest when he heard the familiar voice of his mother.

"H-hey Mom." He said, not knowing what else to say. There was a pause.

"Greg?" She said tentatively, not believing it was him.

"Yeah, it's me. I'm sorry...that I haven't called...in quite a while."

"Oh...that's alright, Dear. I should apologize too. I could've called you, but I didn't. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Mom; but there is a reason why I called randomly."

"What would that be?" She asked, House not able to see her smile.

"There's...there's someone I want you to meet." His mother paused.

"Oh? Well, you're father and I don't have any plans next weekend. How about you two swing by then?"

"That sounds good. So I'll, uh...see you...then." He said, not sure how he was suppose to act towards his mother that he hasn't talked to in years.

"I can't wait to see you, Greg. You two have a safe trip up here."

"We will, Mom."

HouseXChase

Chase looked up when House walked back into the living room, placing the phone on the coffee table and sitting next to him. Chase raised an eyebrow at him, asking him silently what happened.

"We're heading up there next weekend." House said, tapping his cane against the floor. The blonde smiled.

"I'm glad. Road trip!" House laughed at Chase's childish response, never able to predict what the blonde was going to say next.

"Don't get too excited, they're only about 2 hours away."

"It doesn't matter, Silly! Being in a car, plus, driving on the road, equals, road trip." Chase said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"How can I put up with you?" House asked jokingly.

"Because you love me." House looked thoughtful and shook his head.

"No, that can't be it." Chase pouted and poked him in the arm with a fake hurt expression on his face.

"You ass." House chuckled and pulled the blonde onto his lap, holding him tightly.

Alright Gang,

This chapter was kind of like a "filler chapter," but it was necessary. ^_^

As always, patience and reviews/PMs would be appreciated!
