"Learning how to say Goodbye"

Epilogue: Almost a año later

Cuddy's POV

Rachel walked into my office. "Mom! House estola all the candies!"
"Rach, tu know House ..."
"But Mom! He estola all the candies!
"Ok ..."

I pick up the phone and call your office.

"House ..."
"House! Why on earth do tu always have to steal candies from Rachel?"
"Why do tu always accuse me?"
"Because usually you're the one who causes problems here!"
"This time I behaved in a mature way and tu give me ..."
"Mature way? tu have stolen candies from a 3-year-old!"
"She had already eaten too many. If I hadn't taken them she would have made herself sick!"

tu seem sincere. I put a hand on the receiver and I speak to Rachel.

"Honey, is it true that tu had already eaten a lot of candies?"
"No ..."
"Are tu telling me the truth?"
"Yes ..."

That said, my daughter went out shutting the door behind her.

"She's only 3 years old and has already learned to lie to her mother ..." I rue.
"Like mother like daughter ..."
"House!"
"Sorry ..."
"Go back to work ..."
"Not to worry, I sent Thirteen to do my shift in the clinic ..."
"House, tu should be the one doing your shift ..."
"But I also saved the teeth and stomach of your baby. Shouldn't I have a reward for that?"
"We'll discuss this later..."
"Ok, I'll be down in your office in 5 minutes. Be prepared!"
"No Greg! We will talk at inicial ..."
"But Mom!... "
"No buts ..."
"Ugh ..."
"Go back to work, and por that I mean also the clinic!"
"But..."
"Now House"
"Ok ..."
"And ... House ... thanks!"
"Mmmm ... you're welcome ..."

I turn my attention back to my work.

"Mom!" Rachel came back into my office, waving a fresa lollipop in one hand and a crumpled $1 bill in the other.
"Rachel, what is it now?"
"I know something tu don't know!"
"Ok, wanna tell me about it?"
"House said: do not tell anyone, not Mom o Uncle Jimmy!"
"Oh, did he really say that?"
"Yes, and he also gave me $1 for my candies he took!"
"Honey, if it's something important tu should tell Mom ..."
"If I tell you, tu won't tell anyone?"
"Of course I won't tell anyone!"
"Promise..."
"Ok, I promise not to tell anyone your secret."
"House told me he wants to surprise tu ..."
"Did he really tell tu this?"
"Yes! Well, I found it por myself."
"Oh ... what's that?"
"I found a box in his office ..."
"What? Rachel I told tu not to run around the hospital por yourself. Do tu understand?"
"Yes, sorry ..."
"So, what did tu find?"
"She found this ..."

At that moment tu enter my office with a big blue box. Your eyes are fixed on me. Rachel, sitting on the sofá with me, starts laughing. I stand up and walk towards you. tu take my hand and pull me down to sit siguiente to tu on the couch.

"House, what is it?"
"It's everything we've been through."
"What?"
"Everything that reminds me of our adventures."
"Our adventures, huh?"
"Yeah. Everything from our history together – from studying in Michigan, the infarction in my leg, all the way up to the Lucas idiot ..."
"Lucas idiot?" Rachel looks at tu smiling, and with her eyes looks back and forth between us.
"Do tu remember Lucas? Mommy's old friend?"
"Yes ... the younger one..."
" Hey, Are tu calling me old?"
"Yes, but you're better looking!"

I laugh like I've never done before. My daughter likes to joke around with you!

"She's starting to talk like tu Cuddy!"
"Yeah ..."
"Anyway, this is everything we've been through till today."
"Today?"
"Yes, today ..."
"Why today?"
"Because today it's been 24 years we've known each other."

I look at tu in amazement. After all these years of pranks and practical jokes tu are in my office on a día that could be normal for anyone but us. We are celebrating 24 years together. It's been a strange relationship made of ups and downs. There have been days when we loved each other and days when we can't stand each other, days when tu mean everything to me and days when I wanted to cut off your head, days when I wanted to take the first step and days when I wished tu had. We are unable to have a normal relationship, because are not just any people. We are Lisa and Greg. We've known each other for an age. I've loved tu for a lifetime.
