Lisa gets home and after having dinner and a shower she is really tired and goes to bed. It feels strange to have the whole bed for her; anyway she falls asleep very quickly.
House spends the whole night moving from one place to another and running a lot of tests with his team. It's been a long day and he finally goes home. When he gets there it's early yet. House tries not to make much noise and has a shower. After that, he goes to bed and lies next to Lisa. Some minutes later, she starts to open her eyes and sees him sleepy.
‘You haven't waked me up...’
‘You haven't tucked me in either... it's still early for you to stand up...’
She takes the sheets, tucks him in and lies again looking at him. ‘Better?’
‘Oh, much better...’ He smiles.
‘I’m gonna stay here for ten minutes more...’
‘Well... I'll stay here a little bit longer... such as... eight or nine hours more...’
‘Alright.’ She sighs and closes her eyes, and so does he. Some minutes later he speaks.
‘Did you sleep well?’
‘I missed you...’
‘Too sad I didn't have time to miss you...’
‘Have you been working very hard?’
‘Nope... I’m just tired of being bored... Now seriously... it was exhausting...’
‘You can sleep now, I have to get up.’
‘Alright, I'll go to the hospital in a few hours, this case is more difficult than we expected...’
‘You like challenges.’
‘I'm not complaining...’
‘That's weird...’ She smiles and gives him a kiss. ‘I gotta go.’
‘See you later...’ Two minutes later he falls asleep.


Five or six months has already passed since House proposed Cuddy to be parents and they don’t give up. One day, Cuddy gets home from work after House. ‘Hey...’
He is eating ice cream while watching TV. ‘Hey there...’
‘Is that tasty?’ She sits next to him and tries some ice cream. ‘I talked to my gynecologist... I told her that we are trying again... We should do another pregnancy test.’
He looks at her. ‘When?’
‘One of these days... I think there is a bare chance that I’m pregnant.’
‘Yeah... you think but don't know it...’
‘I can’t know it...’
‘That's why we're taking the pregnancy test again...’
‘Yes, that's the idea.’
‘Well... I'm sure it will work this time, I have a hunch...’
‘Me too.’ Lisa takes the ice cream of his hands and smiles.
‘I'll consider you have cravings... so you can eat MY ice cream...’
‘No, it’s just… I like ice cream, and I like bothering you, now I can do both and use the cravings as an excuse.’
‘Ha ha ha... very nice... I'll remind you of these moments when you feel sick...’ House says sarcastically.
‘Nice...’

The next day they buy another pregnancy test and go home. ‘Prepare to succeed...’
‘Fingers crossed.’
‘Hope is for sissies... we won't need it...’ House says, but what he is really thinking sounds more like “God, I hope it works this time.”
They wait for the result of the test. House is really nervous and holds her hand. She holds his stronger.
‘Here we go...’
He sighs and both approach to the pregnancy test and stare at it.
‘Are you reading the same?’ Lisa asks.
‘Or it's that or I'm hallucinating... Punch me!!’
She punches him softly. ‘No, you are not.’
‘We're pregnant then...’ Says House smiling at her.
‘By now...’
‘Oh, come on... it will work this time, I know!!’
Then she smiles at him and they hug. ‘I believe you.’ She gives him a kiss.
‘But you should take a month off anyway, just to be more careful this time...’
‘No, but I have to work.... I can’t leave the hospital alone just with--’
‘No way!! You'll stay here until I decide you're totally out of risk...’
‘So you are not gonna let me go out?’
‘Nope!!!’
‘And I can't bring some work here either?’
‘Hmmm... nope... nothing that can be stressful for you is allowed in this house.’
‘You can be the most stressful thing for me sometimes, are you gonna move in?’
‘No, but I can hide under the kitchen's table if I cause you some stressful situations...’
‘So... are you going to take care of me?’
‘Haven't I been taking care of you all this time?’
‘Yes... but I mean more... I can be unbearable sometimes, and pregnant I can be even more unbearable.’
‘Unbearable? You? HA!! I'm a real pain in the ass, you can't beat me!!’
‘Yes, okay, you are the pain in the ass, not me.’ She smiles widely.
‘Am I blushing?’
‘No, you are smiling as happy as a kid on Christmas.’
He chuckles. ‘Oh, you caught me!!’
She lies her head on his shoulder. House hugs her and breathes deeply.
‘You and me having a baby... who would have thought about it?’ Lisa says.
‘Phew!! Not many people I guess...’
‘Have you ever thought about it?’
‘Not really... I don't care what other people think or say...’
‘Neither do I.’
House touches her belly with his hand softly. ‘A little Greg is coming...’
‘Why a little Greg? Why can it be a little Lisa?’
‘I know it's gonna be a little Greg, sorry...’
She chuckles. ‘Once when we were in Michigan and we fought and all those things, I was about to prick one of your condoms... and I didn’t because I didn’t want to “punish” the world with little Gregs... and look now... I’m having your baby.’
‘Oh... that's very... touching... God, you're evil!!’
‘I don't want to imagine how our kid will be...’
‘You don't have to imagine it... you'll find it out by yourself.’ They smile.
‘That’s true.’
