- Tomorrow – Dr. Kane says – wewe can take Donnie nyumbani tomorrow morning –
Lucas and Cuddy smile. For a little zaidi than a mwezi Lucas and Cuddy visited their baby in the NICU
- Did wewe hear that sweetie? – Cuddy has the baby in her arms. Donnie is bigger and has a zaidi healthy color. – You're going nyumbani –
Lucas kisses the baby forehead before Cuddy puts him back on the cot.
- Thank wewe Doctor –
________________________________________
- So I'll take a couple of days off to be with the baby –
Cuddy says to Lucas as they walk to her office.
- upendo the idea –
- wewe can stop smiling, can you? – Cuddy says to the detective.
- Well…-
- Dr. Cuddy – Jonah interrupts – wewe had a message, apparently is an emergency –
Cuddy frowns – From one of my patients? – She takes the piece of paper
- No – Jonah responds – A Dr. James Wilson from Princeton Plainsboro called, he alisema it was urgent –
- I'm not longer smiling – Lucas says.
____________________________________________
- This is ridiculous – Foreman maoni with anger – We should act now –
– If we just take our time, you'll see that you're jumping to conclusions – Chase tells him
They are in the hospital. House is sick, unconscious and in the hands of his team.
-I'm with Chase – Taub says. – What makes wewe so sure? –
- I'm right – Foreman majibu – Wilson, choose the treatment au let her choose – The doctor points to House's girlfriend. A woman in her early forties; sitting inayofuata to House's bed.
- I'm not his medical proxy. I can't make that decision, besides the board is scrutinizing this case. We're doing this kwa the book –
- For God's sake – the girlfriend says – you're his best friend and doctor –
- I'm not House's proxy –
- Who is it then? – Chase asks
- I called her an saa ago…- Wilson checks his watch.
- Seriously Wilson… – Cuddy enters the room –… wewe could just forge my signature –
- Cuddy? – Chase is astounded
- She is House's proxy? – Foreman asks.
- Believe me Foreman, I'm as surprise as wewe – She walks to center of the room; observes House on the bed. – What do wewe want me to sign? –
Wilson is dead serious. – Actually, we haven't chosen the right treatment. Foreman thinks…-
- Wait! – Cuddy interrupts him – wewe want me to make the final decision? –
- Well, yes – Wilson majibu – You're a doctor, wewe understand, you're his proxy –
– I can't believe wewe – Cuddy says – wewe called me because wewe don't want to make a mistake –
- I called wewe because is your obligation – Wilson tells her. Building zaidi tension in the room. – House is dying –
- I'm not longer in his life, I don't know his wishes –
- So we're back to square one – Chase complains.
Cuddy notices the woman holding House hand – Who are you? –
- I'm House's girlfriend…not that it matters here –
Cuddy walks to her. – I'm Lisa Cuddy…I used to be their boss – She smiles
- Yeah, I know – she majibu – I heard much about wewe –
- How long have wewe been dating House? –
- Uhm…Since New mwaka –
- Are wewe living together? – Cuddy asks
- Not yet, we're talking about it. Taking things slow –
- Wise decision – Cuddy says – Have wewe hear the options of treatment? Have Dr. Chase and Dr. Foreman explained them to you? –
- Yes, I understand them–
- Then wewe chose – Cuddy says – Eric, Robert and Chris admire House too much, James is over protecting, and me…well…too much baggage. So it has to be you. You're the one who will live with the consequences. Just keep in mind that wewe upendo him and that you're saving his life –
The woman looks at Cuddy – I think that Dr. Foreman is right –
- wewe made the right decision – Cuddy says to her, the same way she told Stacy so many years zamani – wewe heard her – Cuddy says – Foreman, go ahead. I'll sign the forms –
Foreman nods.

Cuddy steps out of the room. Wilson follows her.
- I need to talk to wewe –
Her cell phone rings, she gets a text message from Lucas. – I have to make a phone call –
- Alright – Wilson tells her – wewe can use my office –
___________________________________
- How's everything over there? – Lucas asks her – Is House okay? Have wewe talk to him? Anything happened? –
- wewe sound paranoid – Cuddy tells him
- No, I'm not. But just to be clear, if wewe leave me for House...again. I'm keeping the children. I asked Zach, is feasible –
Cuddy laughs – Good to know – She is sitting in her old office.
- But I'm worried because it's May –
Cuddy takes her time – Lucas…Why does May worry you? –
- Bad things happened to House in May –
- What? That's not true –
- It is true. Today he's sick…last May he crashed his car into your nyumbani and went to jail, when he was shot was May, Amber died in May, and he drove himself mad in May –
- I think…you're right – Cuddy says
- See? Be careful –
- I am – Cuddy smiles
– When are wewe coming back? –
- I…– Wilson enters the office and stares at her – I'm going to see if House wakes up and talk to him, so maybe in 2 au 3 hours –
- Okay, tell House I say "hi" – Lucas says – Remember we have a big siku tomorrow. upendo wewe –
- Yeah, me too – Cuddy hangs up. Wilson is in his Superman pose.
She stands up – So dean of medicine. Who did wewe have to sleep with to get it? –
Wilson doesn't laugh. – wewe disappeared – he finally speaks
- Wilson, don't start –
- wewe quit your job, sold wewe nyumbani and left in a freaking day. No even a phone call. I found out that wewe were still living in New Jersey because I saw your name in a charity pamphlet last week! –
- I had to leave – Cuddy says – I had to. Just like wewe had to leave after Amber died –
- I came back! –
- Because wewe wanted to –
- We were Marafiki – Wilson says – I understand that what happened was terrible for wewe and that wewe won't forgive House… –
- It was no longer about House! –
Wilson frowns.
- I was in upendo with House, I broke up with him and hurt him and he hurt me back – Cuddy stops to choose her words – But Wilson, when I saw that hole in my wall; I knew it was about me…I had to leave. Try to be happy somewhere else. –
Wilson sits down
- And I knew it meant to sacrifice my job and our friendship – Cuddy sits inayofuata to him – Good things can't last forever –
The oncologist sighs.
- Wilson, I have a son – Cuddy says with a smile. Wilson's jaw drops. – I had a baby boy, a little brother for Rachel. There were some issues with my pregnancy, wewe know for my age, and he was born premature but he's fine now. We can take him nyumbani tomorrow –
- We? Who is "we"?–
- Me and the father – Cuddy responds
- Oh…so wewe have a husb…– Wilson mumbles – wewe know a guy –
- Yeah, my guy –
_________________________________________
- Did I ever tell wewe how I met your mom? – Lucas asks the little girl
- No – Rachel responds.
They are in the kitchen. Lucas is making a snack
- I was in the cafeteria with House…not a house, a man named House… – Lucas explains –…anyway Lisa enters the room she was wearing a dark blue blouse with flowers, a dark blue skirt, and red shoes. She didn't even notices me, but as she walked away I gave her a compliment, and she saw me and right there…I knew I had to have her in my life –
- Then what? – Rachel eats a grapefruit
- Then nothing happened – Lucas frowns – But I got a sekunde chance. A mwaka later –
- A year? – Rachel has no idea how much time a mwaka is
- Yeah – Lucas sits down – That time I went all in –
- Here's your check – Cuddy hand over the paper to Lucas.
- Thank wewe – the private eye alisema – So now that I don't work for you…wanna go out for a date? –
It was the summer of 2009 and Cuddy hired Lucas to find out who was stealing in the accounting department.
Cuddy smiles – I'm flatter but my life right now it's…- she looked at the cute guy smiling back at her –… You're giving me that look –
- What look? –
Cuddy shook her head- Listen I can't –
- wewe can't? – Lucas got closer to her – You're not married, you're not engaged…you do like man right? –
- Lucas…do wewe really want to tarehe me? –
- Well first, I want to take wewe nyumbani tonight and make sweet upendo to wewe –
Cuddy eyes opened wide – I think I should slap you're right now –
- But wewe won't – Lucas told her – Because I'm being honest; wewe already know that I think you're sexy and smart. I want to tarehe you, be a proper boyfriend. … And I'm good with kids –
Cuddy just looked at him, trying to figure it him out. She grabbed him kwa the collar, pulled him closer and kissed him, kissed him hard.
- I had to know if I like kissing wewe –
- And? –
- Let's go out tonight – Cuddy said.
- Maybe in 20 years, your mom will tell wewe that story – Lucas tells Rachel. – Anyway, she broke my heart…and now, I guess the third time's the charm –
- Can I have zaidi grapes? – Rachel Lost interest in the story a long time ago
- Finish your carrots first –
________________________________________
- He's awake – Foreman announces, after a few hours, House is awake and on his way to recovery.
Cuddy watches through the glass wall. She sees Foreman checking the vitals, Wilson smiling and the girlfriend holding hands with House.
- Are wewe Dr. Cuddy? – Two young women are standing inayofuata to her. Cuddy nods. – We are in Dr. House team, and we want to tell wewe that…you're like a legend around here –
Cuddy raises an eyebrow; then looks at Taub and Chase. They just shrug
– A legend? – She finally says
- Yes first woman as dean of medicine, sekunde youngest. Thanks to wewe PPTH got in the juu 10 teaching hospitals in the US –
- And wewe were the only one who could put House in his place…or so we were told – the other doctor says.
Cuddy smiles – Thanks for the ego booster – Her attention goes back to House; he's now looking at her.
_______________________________________
She steps into the room.
- We'll give wewe a moment – Wilson says. Everybody leaves the room.
It's a weird sensation to see each other after so long.
- That's my girlfriend, kwa the way – House says – She is a super model and a secret spy –
- Great combo – Cuddy tells him – How you're feeling? –
- Like I almost died – House majibu – wewe know how it is, wewe get a patient with a bizarre disease and wewe end up sick yourself –
- Yeah…I remember – Cuddy stands inayofuata to his kitanda – So how did I end up as your proxy? –
House makes a face – I appointed wewe after we broke up, I thought one siku I would use it to make wewe feel guilty –
- Sounds like your kind of plan –
- I didn't think wewe would pulled a 'Thirteen' and disappear without a trace – House says – Actually, wewe did a better job –
- Thank wewe –
- So Wilson told me wewe had a baby –
- Not even 5 dakika and Wilson is already gossiping –
- He's like a 13 mwaka old girl – House says – He also told me you're not married. Why is that? Baby daddy not good enough? –
- Not at all – Cuddy majibu – He just doesn't want to marry me, because I broke off the awali engagement and he ain't gonna ask again –
House frowns, he figures out who she's talking about – Him? Really? –
Cuddy smiles – He says "Hi" –
- He's a fool for taking wewe back –
- Well, he's my fool –
- Awww. Look at you. In upendo and having his babies – House jokes
- No, only one baby – Cuddy says – We named him Donald –
- After the duck? –
- After the philosopher Donald Davidson – Cuddy majibu – He was one of Lucas' professors –
- So wewe finally settle for a boring normal suburban life –
Cuddy crosses her arms –Hurm… I'm in a relationship with a Private Investigator, who has a suspicious past, an odd sense of morality, and is years younger than me. We have two little kids with different last names…Yeah boring normal suburban life –
- Admitting it's the first step –
- Besides, look who's talking. wewe and the secret model –
- Secret spy, super model – House tells her – Get it right, Cuddy –
Cuddy smiles, this wasn't as bad as she anticipated.
- Cuddy…I'm sorry –
- I don't need to hear an apology –
- But I need to say it – House responds – I felt like a failure, I felt like the one good thing in my life was skipping away. I was angry and sad, I did something really stupid. I wanted to breakaway –
- I sent wewe to jail –
- I deserved it – House tells her – Funny thing…I pushed away everyone in my life at least once my parents, Wilson, Stacy, my team, but wewe never left. When Wilson told me wewe were gone…I knew it was forever –
- wewe hurt me House, and I hurt you. It was a vicious mduara, duara –
- Now it's over –
- People leave your life, wewe can't help it, but that doesn't diminish your happy times with them – Cuddy tells House with a smile.
- We've had our moments –
- We certainly did – Silence between them – I should go now –
- Goodbye –
- Bye – Cuddy walks to the door
- Cuddy? –
- Yes? –
- Are wewe happy? – House asks her.
- I think so…yes, I am – Cuddy majibu – Are wewe happy House? –
- I'm getting there –
___________________________________
Cuddy encounters Wilson on her way out.
- wewe aren't staying – Wilson tells her with sadness
- No –
- I could give wewe a job…maybe head of a department – the oncologist insists
- I have bigger things on mind – Cuddy says – Goodbye James – she gives him a kiss on the cheek.
The rest of the team watches her walk away, Cuddy just waves goodbye. Some nurses and doctors stops her, they want to say hi. When she makes it to the lobby, takes a good look to what used to be her world. This time she's not running away, this time she leaves with her head up.
_________________________________________
- Please tell me wewe haven't watch "Blue's clues" all day? –
Cuddy says when she sees Lucas and Rachel on the living room.
- Mommy – Rachel runs to hug her mother.
- But its classic "Blue's clues" with Steve, not with Joe – Lucas tells her – and it's not all we did, I help her with a drawing. Go Rachel, onyesha your mom –
Rachel drew her family with crayons.
– That's me, and that's Luke and that's Donnie and that's wewe mommy – the girl says very proud of herself
- Oh look at wewe Lucas – Cuddy says – you're green –
- Yeah, but she got the hair right – He points out at the drawing. – Want dinner, baby? I made mbilingani, biringani Parmesan –
Cuddy never liked when men call her babe, sweetheart au gorgeous, but she likes it when Lucas does it.
- Not hungry – Cuddy responds – I think we all should go to kitanda –
After putting Rachel to bed, Lucas and Cuddy get ready to catch some sleep for they big siku tomorrow.
- So everything is alright? – Lucas asks
- Yes – Cuddy sighs – I got closure, I needed that –
She looks at Lucas sitting on the edge of the kitanda – Does it still bother you? That I dumped wewe –
- It's not a happy memory for me – Lucas tells her – But it was better this way. We could've gotten married, have kids; I've could been the best man in the world, and wewe would've been thinking 'What if?'–
- wewe know I always cared about wewe –
- I know it –
– And I don't know about the whole world, but I think you're the best man I've ever known –
- Wow! That's a high praise – Lucas says – I am happy with being in the juu 5, with your father, that teacher wewe told me about, and wewe know…other doctors wewe met…–
- You're so cute when wewe bumble – Cuddy tells him. – And yet, I don't want Donnie to talk like that –
- Hey! –
She goes to her dresser and takes off her earrings – wewe know? Tonight is the night we can have sex again. If you're in the mood… – she turns around – and you're already half naked. How did wewe get your clothes off so fast? –
- I'm really in the mood –
_________________________________________
The inayofuata day. In the baby's room.
- You're such beautiful baby – Cuddy is holding Donnie, she is sitting on the rocking chair. – Yes wewe are, yes wewe are –
- wewe know wewe don't have to hold him all the time – Luca says
- I have to go back to work in a few day, wewe are going to be with him all siku – Cuddy says – Your dad is going to take real good care of wewe –
- Rachel, what do wewe think of your baby brother? –
- I like him, but he doesn't do anything – Rachel complains
- Don't worry, he'll grow up real fast and you're gonna have lots of fun with Donnie – Lucas tells her – Of course in 10 years he'll be annoying to you, but after high school everything will be cool –
- Okay Luke – Rachel says – Can I give him kiss? –
- Sure –
Cuddy watches the interaction between her kids. Lucas takes a picture of the moment.
Lisa Cuddy smiles – I never thought I'd have this life with you, but I'm happy to have it –
Lucas walk to her– Don't listen to your mom, I always knew –
- Really? – Cuddy smiles
- Okay, almost always –
They kiss.
The end
____________________________
YAY! Happy ending!
I think I accomplished what I wanted it. A) Give Cuddy a happy not quite normal life and closure with House and B) Make Lucas interesting and a good paring for Cuddy (I always thought that, the writers and mashabiki didn't)
If the writers do as little as just hint that Cuddy is with Lucas, I'll be the happiest fangirlin the world (but I'm not holding my breath)
Thank wewe very much for reading.
Please leave a review in any language.
I encourage wewe to write a Luddy fanfic
One last shameless plug. Go read my webcomic about a Private Eye, link in my profaili :)

Cuddy crosses her arms –Hurm… I'm in a relationship with a Private Investigator, who has a suspicious past, an odd sense of morality, and is years younger than me. We have two little kids with different last names…Yeah boring normal suburban life –
- Admitting it's the first step –
- Besides, look who's talking. wewe and the secret model –
- Secret spy, super model – House tells her – Get it right, Cuddy –
Cuddy smiles, this wasn't as bad as she anticipated.
- Cuddy…I'm sorry –
- I don't need to hear an apology –
- But I need to say it – House responds – I felt like a failure, I felt like the one good thing in my life was skipping away. I was angry and sad, I did something really stupid. I wanted to breakaway –
- I sent wewe to jail –
- I deserved it – House tells her – Funny thing…I pushed away everyone in my life at least once my parents, Wilson, Stacy, my team, but wewe never left. When Wilson told me wewe were gone…I knew it was forever –
- wewe hurt me House, and I hurt you. It was a vicious mduara, duara –
- Now it's over –
- People leave your life, wewe can't help it, but that doesn't diminish your happy times with them – Cuddy tells House with a smile.
- We've had our moments –
- We certainly did – Silence between them – I should go now –
- Goodbye –
- Bye – Cuddy walks to the door
- Cuddy? –
- Yes? –
- Are wewe happy? – House asks her.
- I think so…yes, I am – Cuddy majibu – Are wewe happy House? –
- I'm getting there –

Cuddy encounters Wilson on her way out.
- wewe aren't staying – Wilson tells her with sadness
- No –
- I could give wewe a job…maybe head of a department – the oncologist insists
- I have bigger things on mind – Cuddy says – Goodbye James – she gives him a kiss on the cheek.
The rest of the team watches her walk away, Cuddy just waves goodbye. Some nurses and doctors stops her, they want to say hi. When she makes it to the lobby, takes a good look to what used to be her world. This time she's not running away, this time she leaves with her head up.

- Please tell me wewe haven't watch "Blue's clues" all day? –
Cuddy says when she sees Lucas and Rachel on the living room.
- Mommy – Rachel runs to hug her mother.
- But its classic "Blue's clues" with Steve, not with Joe – Lucas tells her – and it's not all we did, I help her with a drawing. Go Rachel, onyesha your mom –
Rachel drew her family with crayons.
– That's me, and that's Luke and that's Donnie and that's wewe mommy – the girl says very proud of herself
- Oh look at wewe Lucas – Cuddy says – you're green –
- Yeah, but she got the hair right – He points out at the drawing. – Want dinner, baby? I made mbilingani, biringani Parmesan –
Cuddy never liked when men call her babe, sweetheart au gorgeous, but she likes it when Lucas does it.
- Not hungry – Cuddy responds – I think we all should go to kitanda –
After putting Rachel to bed, Lucas and Cuddy get ready to catch some sleep for they big siku tomorrow.
- So everything is alright? – Lucas asks
- Yes – Cuddy sighs – I got closure, I needed that –
She looks at Lucas sitting on the edge of the kitanda – Does it still bother you? That I dumped wewe –
- It's not a happy memory for me – Lucas tells her – But it was better this way. We could've gotten married, have kids; I've could been the best man in the world, and wewe would've been thinking 'What if?'–
- wewe know I always cared about wewe –
- I know it –
– And I don't know about the whole world, but I think you're the best man I've ever known –
- Wow! That's a high praise – Lucas says – I am happy with being in the juu 5, with your father, that teacher wewe told me about, and wewe know…other doctors wewe met…–
- You're so cute when wewe bumble – Cuddy tells him. – And yet, I don't want Donnie to talk like that –
- Hey! –
She goes to her dresser and takes off her earrings – wewe know? Tonight is the night we can have sex again. If you're in the mood… – she turns around – and you're already half naked. How did wewe get your clothes off so fast? –
- I'm really in the mood –
_________________________________________
The inayofuata day. In the baby's room.
- You're such beautiful baby – Cuddy is holding Donnie, she is sitting on the rocking chair. – Yes wewe are, yes wewe are –
- wewe know wewe don't have to hold him all the time – Luca says
- I have to go back to work in a few day, wewe are going to be with him all siku – Cuddy says – Your dad is going to take real good care of wewe –
- Rachel, what do wewe think of your baby brother? –
- I like him, but he doesn't do anything – Rachel complains
- Don't worry, he'll grow up real fast and you're gonna have lots of fun with Donnie – Lucas tells her – Of course in 10 years he'll be annoying to you, but after high school everything will be cool –
- Okay Luke – Rachel says – Can I give him kiss? –
- Sure –
Cuddy watches the interaction between her kids. Lucas takes a picture of the moment.
Lisa Cuddy smiles – I never thought I'd have this life with you, but I'm happy to have it –
Lucas walk to her– Don't listen to your mom, I always knew –
- Really? – Cuddy smiles
- Okay, almost always –
They kiss.
The end
____________________________
YAY! Happy ending!
I think I accomplished what I wanted it. A) Give Cuddy a happy not quite normal life and closure with House and B) Make Lucas interesting and a good paring for Cuddy (I always thought that, the writers and mashabiki didn't)
If the writers do as little as just hint that Cuddy is with Lucas, I'll be the happiest fangirlin the world (but I'm not holding my breath)
Thank wewe very much for reading.
Please leave a review in any language.
I encourage wewe to write a Luddy fanfic
