Eastwood, PPTH’s director agreed to let Cuddy stay in Michigan for another two weeks and within that little span of time, Audrey and Stephen had spent some quality time with their granddaughter who just learned how to speak mama while dada یا papa were on it’s way. Sadly, the دن had come and with a heavy heart, Cuddy began packing their things so did House as Rachel was being attended for the last time سے طرف کی her grandparents. He saw tears were beginning to flow down so he went to caress her shoulder for relief which she returned with a look and smile for him.
“We’ll be back,” he reassured.
“I hope so,” she forced another smile, “if work doesn’t take most of my time.”
“It shouldn’t, okay?” House leaned for a soft kiss but the moment was too sweet that it advanced to some strong ones. Tops were thrown on the floor so were the jeans and pants. He began to work his part and so did she. This would be the last that they’ll be doing this in Michigan and they have nothing in their minds but to keep it as precious and special as possible.
House finally came after several rounds of hard thrust but Cuddy came earlier than him. As expected, he left his seeds inside her but unexpectedly, she pushed him back the moment her inner muscles loosen up.
“What?” he asked in a bit of surprise. There was no answer for about a منٹ as Cuddy was busy letting all his white mass go out of her before grabbing some Kleenex to wipe them away from her fingers.
“You come inside me?” she asked as if it wasn’t obvious. House returned her some “duh” looks.
“House, آپ shouldn’t have.”
“What the hell are آپ talking about? I used to do it.”
“Used to do it is the keyword,” she کہا not minding to give another look at him, “Crap.” She stood up and walked straight to the bathroom to clean herself up some more, leaving House in some confuse looks and thoughts.

Three hours later, the two of them, with Rachel, have finally boarded in one of USAirways passenger planes. They got themselves in Class A for their and the baby’s comfort but still failed to because just after passing halfway mark, Cuddy began having her motion sickness. She had been in the bathroom almost half the trip before taking her نشست beside Rachel’s who’s in between her نشست and House’s.
“I told you,” he کہا with eyes set on her, “you should have taken your meds before we boarded.”
‘I’ll be fine. Haven’t I told آپ I really have motion sickness? That’s the reason why I –“
“Yah, yah, yah,” he cut her off, “but it could have been avoided if آپ weren’t stubborn enough to follow me instead.”
She rolled her eyes before looking at the دکھائیں being played in front of them. He offered her a tablet which she looked at before looking at him. “Take it,” he said. “It’ll be just another thirty before we land, I said, I’ll be fine,” she کہا moving his hand away from her space.
“You know what the problem is when a patient is a doctor too?”
“Either I answer that سوال یا I have to call the attendant to transfer آپ to کیبن C.”
“You’re getting crankier,” he tried to give the medicine again, “just take the damn medicine.” His words were now serious that made Cuddy give in to his request. “Just let me get my water,” she کہا before bending over to get the container from Rachel’s baby bag. The moment she looked up, the wave of motion sickness hit her again. Having the feeling of nausea, she covered her mouth before walking quick back to the bathroom again and House eyed her movements سے طرف کی then. Pissed with no choice how to deal with her stubbornness, all he was able to do was to run a palm on his face with eyebrows now meeting each other’s end.

As planned, Wilson gave them a ride from the airport to Mayfield. They decided to visit Pitt and give him some words of thank آپ before finally settling in Cuddy’s place. Well, that was the plan before House and Cuddy left Michigan but because of the argument they had in the plane they might need some plan re-routing. The couple hadn’t been talking that much since the plane landed on New Jersey. Wilson immediately hinted something’s going on but still he kept his mouth shut and just let the two fix their mess, after all, he’s not part of the relationship. All he needs to play is to drive them to Mayfield first before heading home, which he did.
“Rachel grew up so fast,” Pitt کہا while caressing the baby’s back while Cuddy carry her.
“Just turned one two weeks ago,” Cuddy informed her friend. “Really? Happy Birthday dear Rachel,” the psychiatrist greeted and the baby returned an answer سے طرف کی cooing that made all of them, including House (although in secret), smile. “Oh, she likes it,” Wilson said, “Now, she don’t,” Cuddy added as they watch the baby’s face dropped from happy to about-to-cry face.
“Excuse me,” Cuddy began walking away from them. Rachel’s cry screams for hunger so they went inside the car for a round of milk, leaving House, Wilson and Pitt alone.
“Give me a red badge of idiocy if I say I don’t notice the gap between آپ and your girl today,” Pitt کہا while looking at House.
“We’re fine,” is all the diagnostician could say.
“Who are آپ kidding?” Wilson uttered that seemed to شامل میں Pitt’s side, “you haven’t been talking with each other since ---“
“Fine, آپ guys caught us,” he cut his friend off and ran a few fingers on his forehead.
“What’s going on?” Pitt asked.
“There’s something we shouldn’t be fighting about.”
“But still, it’s something,” Wilson urged him to blurt it out. “Tell us یا else, you’ll end up back here,” Pitt threatened. House looked at the two men in front of him without saying a word before giving out a sigh. “Give us a minute,” he کہا before walking back to the car.
He got in through the other side door before an almost deafening silence owned him and Cuddy. He was looking at her but she didn’t bother with him. Her eyes were intentionally locked to her daughter even if she wanted to turn her head to him سے طرف کی now.
“Hey,” he started without minding how un – House saying sorry first is, “I’m sorry.” She turned to look at him this time.
“Me too.”
“I was just scared for you. I don’t want to see آپ like that.”
“And I shouldn’t have overreacted سے طرف کی not talking to you,” she replied. House’s eyes suddenly landed on the baby who just finished her دودھ while Cuddy carried her. He moved closer to them before fixing the baby’s blanket and kissing Cuddy on the side of her head. Their eyes were locked again after the act while she tried to hide the fact that she’s having butterflies in her stomach.
“I care,” he declared.
“You’re scarier when آپ do,” she کہا basing how pissed he was when at first she didn’t follow him with her dizzy meds.
He chuckled while she smiled. The driver’s door opened and Wilson came in. “So, are we good to go?” he asked.
“Yup and carry this magic carpet to Cuddy’s house, genie,” House کہا and Wilson made a salute gesture before starting the engine and off they go north to a “castle” they both long to share years back.
