A Happy Life: Chapter 17
[Early morning sun rays are streaming through a window. House opens his eyes to see where the offending light is streaming from. Cuddy's head is on his bare chest with her dark curls covering him like a blanket. House smiles as he remembers their upendo making the night before. The first time they had made upendo he awoke with a panic thinking it was another delusion. He then felt her arm across his chest and heard her soft breathing. House had never been so relieved in his life. House remembers how Cuddy stired when he jumped. She instinctively hugged him tightly. House hugged her back and kissed the juu of her head.]
House: Cuddy wewe are going to have to make a doctors appointment to get checked out. I recommend Dr. Felder. She is good and I can keep an eye on wewe myself since it's in the hospital.
Cuddy: I know. I have a few months before I start to show. Can we keep it under wraps for awhile?
House: Yes, but wewe can't hide it forever. Your hips will grow, you'll be crankier than normal, and the funbags will have a lot zaidi fun.
Cuddy: I am a doctor House. I know how pregnancy works.
[Cuddy lightly slaps House chest. Cuddy looks up into to ice-blue soul piercing eyes of House. She thinks to herself that those eyes, those beautiful eyes will be her undoing. She stretches up and kisses him squarely on the lips biting his lower lip. House moans into Cuddys mouth and brings his hands up to the arm pulling her on juu of him. House raises his eyebrows.]
House: Cuddy wewe want to songesha in together.
Cuddy: House. I.
[House sees the doubt in Cuddy's eyes.]
House: I know wewe have doubts Cuddy. Think of it as a trial run for when our baby comes.
Cuddy:It would be a big change for wewe House. Going from being a bachelor set in your ways to living with a pregnant woman and a child.
[House looks away from Cuddy.]
House: I can't sleep at my apartment since the delusions I had of us of you. It's so strange to me. The kid has grown on me. wewe have grown on me. I pretty much live here now.
Cuddy: I know wewe would never hurt Rachel. It would be different for us. Neither of us would have any breathing room. I know how much wewe need your space sometimes.
House: Think about it Cuddy.
[Cuddy lays her head back down on House's chest listening to his moyo beating wildly in his chest. House and Cuddy stay like that for a long time falling back asleep. Rachel is crying from her crib, kitanda cha mtoto mchanga when House wakes up. Cuddy stirs and starts to get up.]
House: I'll get her. wewe rest.
Cuddy: I can get her House..
House: No.
[House sits on the edge of the bed. His leg is throbbing. House stands and grabs his cane from beside the night stand. He limps down the hall towards the crying child. House enters the nursery and goes to the crib. Rachel looks up and sees House and smiles. House grabs the child and limps over to the changing table. House begins changing her diaper while his mind wanders.
Cuddy: Why do wewe care House it's not like I'm ever gonna ask wewe to babysit.
House would never admit it but that statement made him made him feel lonely.Cuddy was getting a life without him. House felt that same way the siku she told him she was adopting and the siku she almost got Joy.
Cuddy: For better au worse your part of my life.
House had wanted to go to Rachel's sim chat but he wanted Cuddy to ask him. Really ask him.House finished changing Rachel and he brought her up to his shoulder. He went and sat in the rocker and began to rock her.
House began singing.
It is evening of the day, I sit and watch the children play, smiling faces I can see, but not for me, I sit and watch, As tears go by.
House is humming lightly with his eyes closed rubbing Rachels back. He doesn't hear Cuddy at the door. Cuddy stands at the door of the nursery looking at House and Rachel. Cuddy knew that House's request of moving in together was a honest request this time. It wasn't like the siku he asked her after he yelled to entire lobby that they had slept together. The siku after his delusion of their upendo making. Cuddy knew that it wouldn't be easy but she was willing to try. Cuddy loved House zaidi than anything except Rachel and their baby of course. Cuddy tiptoed ove rto the rocking chair. She picks up Rachel with House opening his eyes to look at her.]
Cuddy: Let me put wewe back in kitanda sweetie.
[House watched as Cuddy lay Rachel back in her crib, kitanda cha mtoto mchanga and bent down and kissed her head. Cuddy then turned and grabbed House' hand to pull him out of the rocking chair. House had other plans as he yanked Cuddy into his lap.]
House: Where are wewe going mommy?
Cuddy: House. I've thought about it. Let's songesha in together. Actually wewe can songesha in here. I already have Rachel's room set up and I have zaidi room. We can put the kinanda in the living room.
House: Are wewe sure Cuddy?
Cuddy: Yes, I upendo wewe and this is what feels right.
House: Okay. I will start packing tomorrow.
Cuddy: great.
House: and Cuddy. I upendo wewe to.
[House gets up with Cuddy still in his arms. Cuddy begins to nibble on his neck.]
House: MMMmmm. wewe do that and I might drop wewe mistress.
Cuddy: wewe drop me and wewe be in the clinic for a month.
[House hobbles down the hall using the ukuta as a crutch back to the bedroom. House walks over to the kitanda and drops Cuddy's small frame onto the bed. House falls onto the kitanda beside her. House bends his head down to Cuddy's tummy.]
House: You're going to make mommy's fun bags get so big. Daddy thanks wewe so much for that.
[House leans back up and pulls Cuddy to him. Cuddy smiles and leans into kiss him. House deepens the kiss kwa sliding his tongue Cuddy lips pushing to gain entrance. Just as he slides his tongue into her mouth she bites it. House's erection becomes apparent against Cuddy's thigh. House and Cuddy enjoy each other and fall back asleep wrapped in each other.]
