- Tomorrow – Dr. Kane says – tu can take Donnie inicial tomorrow morning –
Lucas and Cuddy smile. For a little más than a mes Lucas and Cuddy visited their baby in the NICU
- Did tu hear that sweetie? – Cuddy has the baby in her arms. Donnie is bigger and has a más healthy color. – You're going inicial –
Lucas kisses the baby forehead before Cuddy puts him back on the cot.
- Thank tu 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.
- amor the idea –
- tu can stop smiling, can you? – Cuddy says to the detective.
- Well…-
- Dr. Cuddy – Jonah interrupts – tu 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 dicho it was urgent –
- I'm not longer smiling – Lucas says.
____________________________________________

- This is ridiculous – Foreman comentarios 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 tu so sure? –
- I'm right – Foreman respuestas – Wilson, choose the treatment o let her choose – The doctor points to House's girlfriend. A woman in her early forties; sitting siguiente 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 por 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 hora ago…- Wilson checks his watch.
- Seriously Wilson… – Cuddy enters the room –… tu could just forge my signature –
- Cuddy? – Chase is astounded
- She is House's proxy? – Foreman asks.
- Believe me Foreman, I'm as surprise as tu – She walks to center of the room; observes House on the bed. – What do tu want me to sign? –
Wilson is dead serious. – Actually, we haven't chosen the right treatment. Foreman thinks…-
- Wait! – Cuddy interrupts him – tu want me to make the final decision? –
- Well, yes – Wilson respuestas – You're a doctor, tu understand, you're his proxy –
– I can't believe tu – Cuddy says – tu called me because tu don't want to make a mistake –
- I called tu because is your obligation – Wilson tells her. Building más 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 respuestas – I heard much about tu –
- How long have tu been dating House? –
- Uhm…Since New año –
- Are tu living together? – Cuddy asks
- Not yet, we're talking about it. Taking things slow –
- Wise decision – Cuddy says – Have tu hear the options of treatment? Have Dr. Chase and Dr. Foreman explained them to you? –
- Yes, I understand them–
- Then tu 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 tu amor him and that you're saving his life –
The woman looks at Cuddy – I think that Dr. Foreman is right –
- tu made the right decision – Cuddy says to her, the same way she told Stacy so many years hace – tu 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 tu –
Her cell phone rings, she gets a text message from Lucas. – I have to make a phone call –
- Alright – Wilson tells her – tu can use my office –
___________________________________

- How's everything over there? – Lucas asks her – Is House okay? Have tu talk to him? Anything happened? –
- tu sound paranoid – Cuddy tells him
- No, I'm not. But just to be clear, if tu 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 inicial 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 tu 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 o 3 hours –
- Okay, tell House I say "hi" – Lucas says – Remember we have a big día tomorrow. amor tu –
- Yeah, me too – Cuddy hangs up. Wilson is in his superman pose.
She stands up – So dean of medicine. Who did tu have to sleep with to get it? –
Wilson doesn't laugh. – tu disappeared – he finally speaks
- Wilson, don't start –
- tu quit your job, sold tu inicial and left in a freaking day. No even a phone call. I found out that tu 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 tu had to leave after Amber died –
- I came back! –
- Because tu wanted to –
- We were friends – Wilson says – I understand that what happened was terrible for tu and that tu won't forgive House… –
- It was no longer about House! –
Wilson frowns.
- I was in amor 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 siguiente 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, tu know for my age, and he was born premature but he's fine now. We can take him inicial tomorrow –
- We? Who is "we"?–
- Me and the father – Cuddy responds
- Oh…so tu have a husb…– Wilson mumbles – tu know a guy –
- Yeah, my guy –
_________________________________________

- Did I ever tell tu 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 blusa 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 segundo chance. A año later –
- A year? – Rachel has no idea how much time a año is
- Yeah – Lucas sits down – That time I went all in –


- Here's your check – Cuddy hand over the paper to Lucas.
- Thank tu – the private eye dicho – 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 –
- tu can't? – Lucas got closer to her – You're not married, you're not engaged…you do like man right? –
- Lucas…do tu really want to fecha me? –
- Well first, I want to take tu inicial tonight and make sweet amor to tu –
Cuddy eyes opened wide – I think I should slap you're right now –
- But tu won't – Lucas told her – Because I'm being honest; tu already know that I think you're sexy and smart. I want to fecha 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 por the collar, pulled him closer and kissed him, kissed him hard.
- I had to know if I like besar tu –
- And? –
- Let's go out tonight – Cuddy said.


- Maybe in 20 years, your mom will tell tu that story – Lucas tells Rachel. – Anyway, she broke my heart…and now, I guess the third time's the charm –
- Can I have más 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 tu Dr. Cuddy? – Two young women are standing siguiente to her. Cuddy nods. – We are in Dr. House team, and we want to tell tu 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, segundo youngest. Thanks to tu PPTH got in the parte superior, arriba 10 teaching hospitals in the US –
- And tu 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 tu a moment – Wilson says. Everybody leaves the room.
It's a weird sensation to see each other after so long.
- That's my girlfriend, por 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 respuestas – tu know how it is, tu get a patient with a bizarre disease and tu end up sick yourself –
- Yeah…I remember – Cuddy stands siguiente to his cama – So how did I end up as your proxy? –
House makes a face – I appointed tu after we broke up, I thought one día I would use it to make tu feel guilty –
- Sounds like your kind of plan –
- I didn't think tu would pulled a 'Thirteen' and disappear without a trace – House says – Actually, tu did a better job –
- Thank tu –
- So Wilson told me tu had a baby –
- Not even 5 minutos and Wilson is already gossiping –
- He's like a 13 año old girl – House says – He also told me you're not married. Why is that? Baby daddy not good enough? –
- Not at all – Cuddy respuestas – He just doesn't want to marry me, because I broke off the anterior 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 tu back –
- Well, he's my fool –
- Awww. Look at you. In amor and having his bebés – House jokes
- No, only one baby – Cuddy says – We named him Donald –
- After the duck? –
- After the philosopher Donald Davidson – Cuddy respuestas – He was one of Lucas' professors –
- So tu 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. tu 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 tu 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 tu never left. When Wilson told me tu were gone…I knew it was forever –
- tu hurt me House, and I hurt you. It was a vicious circulo, círculo –
- Now it's over –
- People leave your life, tu 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 tu happy? – House asks her.
- I think so…yes, I am – Cuddy respuestas – Are tu happy House? –
- I'm getting there –
___________________________________

Cuddy encounters Wilson on her way out.
- tu aren't staying – Wilson tells her with sadness
- No –
- I could give tu 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 tu 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, mostrar your mom –
Rachel drew her family with crayons.
– That's me, and that's Luke and that's Donnie and that's tu mommy – the girl says very proud of herself
- Oh look at tu Lucas – Cuddy says – you're green –
- Yeah, but she got the hair right – He points out at the drawing. – Want dinner, baby? I made berenjena Parmesan –
Cuddy never liked when men call her babe, sweetheart o gorgeous, but she likes it when Lucas does it.
- Not hungry – Cuddy responds – I think we all should go to cama –

After putting Rachel to bed, Lucas and Cuddy get ready to catch some sleep for they big día 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 cama – Does it still bother you? That I dumped tu –
- 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 tu would've been thinking 'What if?'–
- tu know I always cared about tu –
- 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 parte superior, arriba 5, with your father, that teacher tu told me about, and tu know…other doctors tu met…–
- You're so cute when tu 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 – tu 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 tu get your clothes off so fast? –
- I'm really in the mood –
_________________________________________

The siguiente day. In the baby's room.
- You're such beautiful baby – Cuddy is holding Donnie, she is sitting on the rocking chair. – Yes tu are, yes tu are –
- tu know tu don't have to hold him all the time – Luca says
- I have to go back to work in a few day, tu are going to be with him all día – Cuddy says – Your dad is going to take real good care of tu –
- Rachel, what do tu 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 fans 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 tu very much for reading.
