CHAPTER 13-THE FINAL CHAPTER

"The entire message reads:"

"Ever since I met you,

You got me going crazy.

You may not know it,

But I have changed.

I will love you,

Until I die.

Even if you reject me.

I know you don't trust me,

I can prove you otherwise,

Just give me a chance.

I just want to say,

If you truly want me,

I will be there to stay."

"And the letters spell out: "Time After Time"

Cuddy had tears in her eyes. "Time After Time" was the one song Cuddy could not bear to listen to after they danced it. She knew how hard it was for House to say what he had just said. She leaned in and held him tight.

"Lisa."

"Yes." She said as she looked up to him.

"I love you."

"I love you too." She reached on her toes and kissed him on the cheek. "Does this mean that there aren't any more roses coming my way?"

"Not if you want them. This time, they wont be sent anonymously." He smiled at her and deep inside him, he knew he was going to be alright.

Both of them walked out of the hospital together, holding hands. Yes the nurses were shocked, yes most of the doctors had there mouths open (except for Wilson, who had a smile on his face), but they didn't care. All Cuddy wanted was to be with House, to make up all of the years between Michigan and now. House was feeling the same way except for one thing, he was exited to go home, his new home with Cuddy, and be with Rachel. This surprised him.

5 YEARS LATER…

"Morning Daddy." Rachel said as her dad limped into the kitchen for breakfast.

"Morning kiddo, how'd ya sleep?" House said as he kissed the top of her head.

"Alright." She beamed.

"And good morning to you too, Cuddles!" House grinned mischievously at his wife.

"Good morning Greg." Lisa said laughing. She gave him a good morning kiss and gave him a cup of hot coffee.

As the three of them sat and ate breakfast Rachel stared at her parents. As she looked at them, she thought about how lucky she felt to have two parents who loved her so very much. She knew Gregory House was not her bio- bio- well that long word that meant natural father, but she didn't care, she loved him so much. Then, she remembered something that made her love her father even more.

She now knew how to play the piano.
