We soon arrived at Cuddy's house. We set our things down in the hall and Cuddy said to me:

"I'm going to take a shower, there's some food in the kitchen, help yourself."

"okay." I answered as I watched her go down the hallway and o her bedroom.

Knowing Cuddy, she would probably take about a half an hour, so I started preparing my other surprise I had planned for her. I took out two casseroles that were in a cupboard next to the fridge and set them down on the stove. I brought one of them to the sink and poured water into in and put it back on the stove to boil. With a click, I turned it on and went to the dining room. I went there to set the sable that was placed in the middle of the room. I put a table cloth that I found in one of the drawers and put it on the table along with 2 sets of silver wear, 2 plates and 2 napkins that I took from the kitchen. I also put a candle and a single red rose in the center of the table. I took some things out of my bag and took them to the kitchen. I set them down on the counter. I took the tomato sauce that I just set down and put it in the casserole to cook. Then, I took the penne pasta and put all the pasta into the boiling water. I took a lighter and lit the candle that was resting on the dining room table. I waited 10 more minutes and put the food on our plates. I put the dishes in the sink and sat down in the chair. I waited for cuddy to come out and join me.

She came out minutes later to find me in the dining room, waiting for one thing that was missing: Her. She looked at me stunned.

"What…What is all this Greg, did you do all this?" She managed to ask.

The use of my first name came automatically, it was like House and Greg are two different people, one was Cuddy's employee and the other was Lisa's lover. It made a big difference, at least for me. At this very moment, I was ready to put the past behind, it was like all these years I've been trapped. But now I've finally found a way to escape these prisons walls and the shadows within, that have haunting me for the longest time, since my father took me away from her, so long ago. Before I've tried to put the past behind, but some memories were just not meant to be faded away. I realize now, that until I didn't accept what happened so long ago, I would never be able to let go. But now I have and I'm done with feeling miserable, because now I have no reason to be. I don't regret this life chosen for me. I'm home once again.

Maybe our eyes are placed in front of us because it's more important to look ahead than to look back.

I told her to sit down in the chair that was right in front of her and so she did. She didn't touch her plate though; she only looked at me with gratitude.

She had a smiled on her face, the one she had on when she was happy. The only one I wish her to have on for the rest of her life. The only one I wanted her to have on that beautiful face of hers.

Her hair was still a little damp from the shower, letting her curls go on her shoulders. She didn't have any make-up on; nonetheless she never looked so beautiful than at this moment. Her grey-blue eyes were looking at me, shinning because of the tears that were hesitating to fall down and slide down her cheeks. They looked like a rain storm ready to hit. It also reflected her personality, strong and independent. I know that nobody is perfect, maybe then she wasn't anybody for someone else, and someone for me because she was just right for me. Perfect in her own way. I have repeated to myself that I didn't deserve her, but moments like this always proved me wrong. I was lost in her gaze that I had almost forgotten about the food.

"We better eat before it gets cold" I suggested.

She nodded her head, approving.

"it was delicious, Greg, thank you." Lisa said to me when we finished.

"It was my pleasure." I told her.

I got up from the chair and motioned her to follow me. I went to the piano and sat at the bench. She was right behind me and sat down moments later beside me. I started to play a relaxing and beautiful melody.

When the song ended I turned to face her and captured her lips with mine. We never broke apart, except when we urged for air. We explored each other's mouth and our tongues danced in unison. The next thing we knew we were naked in her bed, moaning and waiting for more. I remember making love to her, showing her that I wasn't taking advantage of her, confessing my love to her once more with every gentle kiss I placed on her bare body. I wanted to show her that I was serious about this, so I took my time, and before doing anything else I asked permission because I knew that she was afraid to have her heart broken and I wanted to show her that that would never happen, and if it were to happen it would be my heart not hers because she has all the power to break it. Because it always remained hers. We made love that night, without being protected because we knew that it was no longer necessary. We didn't fear of her getting pregnant or me being a father, because we knew that we're all in this together. The barriers that were holding me back were no longer there, they were shattered when I proposed to her, when I confessed that I loved her. I knew from that moment that nothing would ever be the same, ever again, I finally let out what was inside, and completed what was missing, and no more emptiness resides in m heart because she's here to fulfill it. These are the days worth living; these are the years that we're given. These are the moments, these are the times. I'm going to make sure that they're the best of our lives. Even if hope was shattered, now it wouldn't matter, because now we have each other.

I woke up the next morning with Lisa in my arms, resting peacefully against my chest. It's something I could get use too, a feeling that I would never want to go away. Love.

I just love the end. This story has come sadly to an end but I was thinking doing a sequel so don't worry, I have no idea when I'll start the first chapter since I've been writing another Huddy fic called "Love will follow me everywhere I go". If you haven't read it please do and tell me your thoughts. If I do the sequel which I probably will, I already know the plot.
A big thanks to everyone who's been reading and reviewing my fic. Especially Preppi101 and CassidyTVNut.
