"So, are 당신 going to Michigan for the holidays?" House asked as he lit her fireplace.
"Maybe for New Years but I have too many proposals to work on during Christmas. Why do 당신 ask?"
They were still in that weird non-couple couple point in their relationship. They were spending alot of time together at her place and his, but neither had said "I 사랑 You," 또는 described the other as a girlfriend 또는 boyfriend yet. Cuddy wanted him to ask her to spend 크리스마스 with him but she wasn't going to drop any hints. She wanted him to decide this all on his own.
"I just wondered if I would have a week free of your stockings drying on my 샤워 curtain."
"I'm so sure. Do 당신 want some egg nog? I added some of that 럼 주, 럼 당신 like."
"I'll take a mug of that...So, you're spending 크리스마스 here then?"
He got up and joined her on the sofa. She pulled a blanket over them and handed him his drink.
"Yeah, 크리스마스 in Princeton."
"I have a tradition of ordering Chinese take out from Wong's and watching Ground Hog's 일 on 크리스마스 Day. Wilson usually comes over and we drink a couple of beers...He's going to visit his family in Maine this year. Do 당신 want to partake in cheap 맥주 and greasy Chinese?"
Cuddy smiled warmly at him and instead of answering, she kissed him lightly on the mouth.
"So, that's a yes?" he said with a grin.
"Yes. It's sounds fun. But Ground Hog's 일 isn't a 크리스마스 film, House?"
"I know but it's still festive and Bill Murray's in it so what 더 많이 can 당신 ask for?"
Cuddy shook her head as she smiled. Noticing a stray eyelash on his cheek she brushed it off softly. House leaned into her touch.
"I know it's customary to give presents on 크리스마스 일 but when have I done the customary thing?" he said as he pulled out a manila folder with a red bow wrapped around it, that was hidden in his jacket.
"A present? I'm surprised."
"Just open it."
Cuddy pulled off the bow and opened the file to find an x-ray of what appeared to be a heart.
"You give me a chest x-ray? This is...nice."
"Jeez, Cuddy. Look at the name on the file."
It read: Patient- House,Gregory
"It's your 심장 x-ray. It's your heart...You're giving me your heart," she said pulling the file close to her chest as if it was the most precious possession she ever held.
"It's sappy isn't it."
"Yeah, but sometimes sappy's good," she said as she leaned closer to him.
"So, 당신 like it then?" he asked looking down at his hands.
"I do." she said putting a hand on his cheek forcing him to look at her. His eyes were so full of hope and fear.
"House?"
"Yeah?"
"I 사랑 당신 too."
House let out a sigh of relief and pulled her face to meet his in a joyful kiss.
