Cuddy raises an eyebrow; then looks at Taub and Chase. They just shrug

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 당신 a moment – Wilson says. Everybody leaves the room.
It's a weird sensation to see each other after so long.
- That's my girlfriend, 의해 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 답변 – 당신 know how it is, 당신 get a patient with a bizarre disease and 당신 end up sick yourself –
- Yeah…I remember – Cuddy stands 다음 to his 침대 – So how did I end up as your proxy? –
House makes a face – I appointed 당신 after we broke up, I thought one 일 I would use it to make 당신 feel guilty –
- Sounds like your kind of plan –
- I didn't think 당신 would pulled a 'Thirteen' and disappear without a trace – House says – Actually, 당신 did a better job –

- He's like a 13 년 old girl – House says – He also told me you're not married. Why is that? Baby daddy not good enough? –
- Not at all – Cuddy 답변 – He just doesn't want to marry me, because I broke off the 이전 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 당신 back –
- Well, he's my fool –
- Awww. Look at you. In 사랑 and having his 아기 – House jokes
- No, only one baby – Cuddy says – We named him Donald –
- After the duck? –
- After the philosopher Donald Davidson – Cuddy 답변 – He was one of Lucas' professors –
- So 당신 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. 당신 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 당신 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 당신 never left. When Wilson told me 당신 were gone…I knew it was forever –
- 당신 hurt me House, and I hurt you. It was a vicious 원, 동그라미 –
- Now it's over –
- People leave your life, 당신 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 –

- No –
- I could give 당신 a job…maybe head of a department – the oncologist insists
- I have bigger things on mind – Cuddy says – Goodbye James – she gives him a 키스 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 당신 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, show your mom –
Rachel drew her family with crayons.
– That's me, and that's Luke and that's Donnie and that's 당신 mommy – the girl says very proud of herself
- Oh look at 당신 Lucas – Cuddy says – you're green –
- Yeah, but she got the hair right – He points out at the drawing. – Want dinner, baby? I made 가지 Parmesan –
Cuddy never liked when men call her babe, sweetheart 또는 gorgeous, but she likes it when Lucas does it.
- Not hungry – Cuddy responds – I think we all should go to 침대 –
After putting Rachel to bed, Lucas and Cuddy get ready to catch some sleep for they big 일 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 침대 – Does it still bother you? That I dumped 당신 –
- 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 당신 would've been thinking 'What if?'–
- 당신 know I always cared about 당신 –
- 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 상단, 맨 위로 5, with your father, that teacher 당신 told me about, and 당신 know…other doctors 당신 met…–
- You're so cute when 당신 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 – 당신 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 당신 get your clothes off so fast? –
- I'm really in the mood –
_________________________________________
The 다음 day. In the baby's room.
- You're such beautiful baby – Cuddy is holding Donnie, she is sitting on the rocking chair. – Yes 당신 are, yes 당신 are –
- 당신 know 당신 don't have to hold him all the time – Luca says
- I have to go back to work in a few day, 당신 are going to be with him all 일 – Cuddy says – Your dad is going to take real good care of 당신 –
- Rachel, what do 당신 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 팬 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 당신 very much for reading.

- 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 당신 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 당신 never left. When Wilson told me 당신 were gone…I knew it was forever –
- 당신 hurt me House, and I hurt you. It was a vicious 원, 동그라미 –
- Now it's over –
- People leave your life, 당신 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 당신 happy? – House asks her.
- I think so…yes, I am – Cuddy 답변 – Are 당신 happy House? –
- I'm getting there –

Cuddy encounters Wilson on her way out.
- 당신 aren't staying – Wilson tells her with sadness
- No –
- I could give 당신 a job…maybe head of a department – the oncologist insists
- I have bigger things on mind – Cuddy says – Goodbye James – she gives him a 키스 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 당신 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, show your mom –
Rachel drew her family with crayons.
– That's me, and that's Luke and that's Donnie and that's 당신 mommy – the girl says very proud of herself
- Oh look at 당신 Lucas – Cuddy says – you're green –
- Yeah, but she got the hair right – He points out at the drawing. – Want dinner, baby? I made 가지 Parmesan –
Cuddy never liked when men call her babe, sweetheart 또는 gorgeous, but she likes it when Lucas does it.
- Not hungry – Cuddy responds – I think we all should go to 침대 –
After putting Rachel to bed, Lucas and Cuddy get ready to catch some sleep for they big 일 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 침대 – Does it still bother you? That I dumped 당신 –
- 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 당신 would've been thinking 'What if?'–
- 당신 know I always cared about 당신 –
- 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 상단, 맨 위로 5, with your father, that teacher 당신 told me about, and 당신 know…other doctors 당신 met…–
- You're so cute when 당신 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 – 당신 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 당신 get your clothes off so fast? –
- I'm really in the mood –
_________________________________________
The 다음 day. In the baby's room.
- You're such beautiful baby – Cuddy is holding Donnie, she is sitting on the rocking chair. – Yes 당신 are, yes 당신 are –
- 당신 know 당신 don't have to hold him all the time – Luca says
- I have to go back to work in a few day, 당신 are going to be with him all 일 – Cuddy says – Your dad is going to take real good care of 당신 –
- Rachel, what do 당신 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 팬 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 당신 very much for reading.
