They go to the airport quite nervous. Once there, she looks at the arrivals panel and House starts looking around. ‘Here they are...’
Cuddy’s parents walk towards her to hug her. ‘Hi mum, dad!’ They hug and House approaches but keeps a prudent distance from all of them.
‘Hi my little girl. I've missed you.’
‘Oh dear, it’s so good to see you. We were looking adelante, hacia adelante to coming here!! And who's your escort?’ Her mum looks at House.
‘Oh Greg, come here. This is Gregory House, I have spoken to tu of him some times...’
‘Welcome to New Jersey.’ He shakes hands with her parents.
‘Oh it's good to know tu at last!! Lisa has spoken about tu many times but we never saw tu in the hospital.’
‘I'm really glad to meet tu at last. I've heard tu are one of the best doctors in New Jersey.’ Says her father.
‘Yes, actually he is. And... Greg is also... my... boyfriend...’
House looks at her surprised 'cause he didn't imagine she was gonna tell them about it at this moment. Mrs Cuddy looks at her as surprised as Greg. ‘Oh, really?? Well that's wonderful... why didn't tu tell us before?’
‘Not many people know it... I thought I should tell tu personally instead of por phone...’
‘That is good news. Congratulations.’ He smiles at House. ‘Take care of her, uh?’
Greg chuckles. ‘Yeah...’
Lisa smiles at him. ‘Shall we go to my house?’
‘Sure.’ Alvin takes a carro and puts their suitcase there. House approaches to him.
‘Let me help you.’
‘Oh tu don’t have to Greg, Alvin can pull it.’
‘No it's okay, it's like using a walker frame!!’
‘Thank you! How polite.’ Says to his wife in a low voice.
Lisa approaches to him and they walk after her parents. ‘How nice from you.’
In a low voice and kidding. ‘If tu parents don't like me they won't let me marry you. And I have to say that I'm not willing to elope with tu and leave the country!!’
Bonnie spokes to his husband in a low voice. ‘I thought Lisa told us he was very annoying, rude and childish every time she talked about him...’
‘Yes, but if she's dating him it means that he has something she likes. He can't be so rude and annoying...’
Cuddy chuckles. ‘Silly. tu don't have to behave different. Just be nice with them but don't stop being you. I like you, I'm sure they'll like tu too.’
‘Well I just took this because it's easier for me to walk with it, not because I wanted to help your father...’
Her parents keep talking. ‘Yes, must be. 'Cause if it's not that... I can't understand it.’ She rises her head. ‘Well, and how long have tu been dating, Lisa?’
‘Not very much time yet. A little less than a month...’
House keeps on pulling the carro in silence.
‘How long tu know each other?’
‘A little más than twenty years.’
‘Oh, that’s a long time.’ Says Alvin.
‘So tu also were in Michigan with Lisa?’
‘Hmm, yes I was, yes... My last año was her first one there...’
‘Yes, and some years later we met again and I hired him.’
They finally get to the car. ‘Uh huh. And tu live together?’
‘Not really, we live close but we don’t live together.’ Says House.
‘Oh... I see... and aren't tu gonna mover in?’
Cuddy looks at her mum surprised and speechless. ‘Eh... we've just spent a few days on vacation “living” together...’
‘That sounds good. Where have tu both been to? Did tu have fun?’
‘Yes, it was great... we went to Rome and Londres and... we had... a good time.’ He can’t help thinking of how much fun they had, specially in the elevator, the plane...
‘Lisa has always wanted to go to Rome, but she always had to work and she never had time to go before.’ Annotates Alvin.
‘I think it's very romantic that tu had the chance to go there together and share your vacation.’
Cuddy speaks in a low voice. ‘Yeah, romantic... We really enjoyed, we both needed a vacation.’
‘Yes... I was tired of being exploited por her and she was tired of exploiting me.’
Her parents laugh and she looks at Greg with her mouth open. ‘That's not true! I'll never get tired of exploiting tu and you'll never get tired of ignoring me... He hates doing clinic duty.’
Alvin gets closer to him and says in a low voice. ‘She always had very much character. If I were tu I wouldn't ignore her.’
‘That consejos would have helped me a lot when I started to work in the hospital... I'm afraid now it's too late.’
‘Hahaha, you're made for each other. tu must have fun together...’
‘Yes, we have fun, but sometimes... we drive each other mad.’
‘Yes... sometimes...’ Says Greg looking at his girl.
‘You're made for each other, I agree with Bonnie. tu know for a long time, you're friends, tu work together and despite that tu can stand each other...’
House chuckles. ‘Let me correct you, we barely can stand each other... but we're making a huge effort, aren't we, honey?’
‘Really huge.’ She chuckles and finally they get to her home.
‘You're gonna stay with us to have dinner, aren’t tu Greg?’ Asks Bonnie.
‘Hmm... yeah, I'll stay here.’
‘Well, I guess you're hungry after the flight.’
‘Yes, actually I'm starving. tu need some help?’
‘No, no, don't worry dad. tu and mum can go to put your stuff in the room. Greg can help me.’
House and Cuddy go to the cocina and start cooking.
‘I think they like you.’
‘Really? They just know me for thirty minutos long. How can tu know that?’
‘I don’t know, I have a hunch.’
They keep preparing dinner. When they finish, they all meet in the dinning room.
‘That smells delicious!! I guess we have very good chefs haha.’
‘Thanks mum.’
‘You are also a vegetarian like her? o she forces tu to eat always salads?’ Asks Alvin to House.
‘I force her to cook animales which have been killed wildly when we eat together...’ Lisa’s parents looks at him oddly. ‘But... I also like chicken...’
‘It's his sense of humor, you'll get used to it.’
‘Hahaha, I'm sure we will.’
They start eating. Lisa’s father sips a bit of wine. ‘Delicious. Tell us something más about tu Greg. Where are tu from?’
‘Well... I'm from New Jersey, but my parents and I moved a lot when I was a kid.’
‘But have tu been always living in The States?’ He nods. ‘Where do your parents live? if is not indiscretion.’
‘My mother lives in Lexington, my stepfather died and I don't know my real father.’
Bonnie feels embarrased for Alvin’s pregunta and remains quiet.
‘Oh I'm so sorry... I didn't mean it...’
‘No, it's okay... I find it out when I was twelve...’
‘Wow, tu were a very observant kid to find that out at twelve.’
‘He hasn't changed.’ Says Lisa.
‘Well... I guess I read too much detective books. Too much Sherlock Holmes...’
Alvin smiles at him. ‘Great books.’
They smile at each other and after a while, they finish eating. ‘It was delicious.’
‘Yes, really. Well I think Bonnie and I should go to cama now, we're a bit tired... Are tu gonna stay here tonight, Greg?’
‘Hmm... I think I'd better go home... you'd probably need your own el espacio here and I don't wanna bother the host.’
‘Oh don't worry, tu don't bother us at all. tu can stay if tu want!’ Says Lisa’s dad.
‘I'm sure Lisa can arrange a nice place for tu to sleep.’
Cuddy was looking at the scene in silence. ‘Oh yes, yeah... I have a bedroom left. It’s okay if tu want to stay.’ She looks at him.
‘Okay...’
Lisa’s parents smile, they are happy for their daugther. ‘Okay, goodnight then.’
‘Sleep tight.’
After tidying up they go to the living room and lie on the sofa to watch TV for a while before going to sleep.
‘It's strange to be here with tu and my parents.’
‘Yes... it's like... very formal.’
‘Odd...’
‘Yep...’
They watch TV in silence and Greg puts his arm around her shoulders, then she lies her head on his shoulder and he draws circles with his thumb. Lisa holds his other hand and they stay thus for a while.
‘I think we shoud go to sleep...’
They stand up and go to her bedroom. She puts on her pajamas and he takes off his clothes ‘cause he doesn’t have any pajamas there. They get in cama and Lisa puts her hand on his chest.
‘Your parents are siguiente doors...’
Cuddy rolls her eyes. ‘I’m fully aware of it...’
House sighs. ‘I guess tomorrow I'll wake up earlier so I can go home, take a ducha, ducha de and go to work on time.’
‘I'll drive tu to your home. If tu wait for me first I'll take a ducha, ducha de and we can go to the hospital from there.’
‘Okay... what will your parents do tomorrow?’
‘I think they're going to visit my cousins that live más o less close from here.’
‘Okay.’ He lies looking at her and kisses her forehead. ‘Goodnight.’
‘Sleep tight.’ She gives him a kiss on his lips and they fall asleep.
