It's New Year's Eve and they agreed to spend that night at Lisa’s sister's. House is not very sure about it, but he is still working on trying to make their first krisimasi holidays together the best ones. They have chajio, chakula cha jioni with Julia and some Marafiki and they keep talking and joking for a while. House and Cuddy have a moment alone and talk.
‘Are wewe having fun? Are wewe already tired?’ Asks Lisa to her boyfriend.
‘Yeah, I'm fine... I'm a bit tired but we can stay here if wewe want.’
‘We can stay for a while if you're comfortable with these people.’
‘Yeah, yeah... I'm okay...’
‘Okay.’ They go with the rest of the people and her family to have fun and enjoy the night. After a couple of hours people start leaving. ‘Well I think it’s time to go home, we’re not teenagers anymore and we can’t stand until dawn...’
House chuckles. ‘Yeah, and you're not the cripple of the group...’
‘Silly...’ Cuddy smiles. ‘Let’s go home. I’ll drive.’
‘Sure...’ When they say goodbye to everyone, get in the car.


After some time driving they get home. The party has been nice, they had a good time and she thinks that even House actually enjoyed it, not just pretended it for her. Lisa opens the door. ‘5 a.m... Is not so bad...’
‘No... but let's make things clear: I could've gone on with the party, it was wewe who was tired...’
‘Are wewe saying that I am too old for parties?’ She frowns. ‘The Queen of the Night will never die!’
Greg chuckles. ‘Oh, forgive me Queen of the Night!!!’
She smiles at him. ‘Happy New Year. Can’t I say that, either?’
‘Yeah, wewe can say that...’ He smiles back at her
‘Let’s go to sleep.’
‘Okay...’


They go to the bedroom and take their pajamas. ‘So, have these krisimasi holidays been good for you? wewe liked them?’ Greg asks curious.
‘These have been the best krisimasi of my life, I mean it.’
He smiles. They put on their pajamas and get into bed. Lisa turns off the lights and they stay in silence for a while.
House remains thinking and looking at her in the dark and finally he dares to talk. ‘Listen... I was thinking that... wewe know... you've always wanted to... have a baby and... well... it could be a krisimasi present for both...’
Lisa turns on her lamp on the nightstand and looks at him very surprised. ‘What? Are you... serious?’ She blinks. ‘I...I... I didn’t expect this at all... I don’t know what to--’
‘Forget it... it might not be the best moment...’
‘No, no, I didn’t mean...’ She holds his hand and stares at him. ‘I would love... to have a baby with you.’
He remains looking at her. ‘A-are wewe sure?’
‘You alisema it before, I always wanted to have a baby, but I never had the chance au the right man... now I have them both.’ Cuddy smiles slightly at him.
‘You know this is a big thing. I don't know if I'll know how to do it... but if there's someone on Earth I would do it with, that is you.’
Cuddy smiles and caresses his face. ‘We’ll do our best.’
House smiles and hugs her. ‘We'll have to phone to Paris and order a stork...’
‘I never believed in the korongo nor the children coming from Paris ... I'm zaidi of: Daddy puts a seed in Mommy...’
They chuckle. ‘Much zaidi useful...’
‘So... are we gonna ask for our baby inayofuata mwaka or...’
‘Or we could get down to work now. I vote for my option...’ Lisa chuckles and they kiss while lying on bed. House lies on her and whispers.
‘Tonight's our "anniversary" uh? Double celebration...’ He kisses her on her neck.
‘What anniversary?’ Lisa frowns while she caresses his check.
‘Our first time... at med school...’
‘Oh it’s true... I didn’t remember exactly when it was, but I still remember the first time wewe kissed me. It was hard to live together and not having you...’
‘But we're together now...’ He kisses her.
‘I know...’ They smile at each other. ‘This is the best krisimasi present.’
‘No... The best krisimasi present is nine months away from here...’
