They go to the airport quite nervous. Once there, she looks at the arrivals panel and House starts looking around. ‘Here they are...’
Cuddy’s parents walk towards her to hug her. ‘Hi mum, dad!’ They hug and House approaches but keeps a prudent distance from all of them.
‘Hi my little girl. I've missed you.’
‘Oh dear, it’s so good to see you. We were looking meneruskan, ke depan to coming here!! And who's your escort?’ Her mum looks at House.
‘Oh Greg, come here. This is Gregory House, I have spoken to anda of him some times...’
‘Welcome to New Jersey.’ He shakes hands with her parents.
‘Oh it's good to know anda at last!! Lisa has spoken about anda many times but we never saw anda in the hospital.’
‘I'm really glad to meet anda at last. I've heard anda are one of the best doctors in New Jersey.’ Says her father.
‘Yes, actually he is. And... Greg is also... my... boyfriend...’
House looks at her surprised 'cause he didn't imagine she was gonna tell them about it at this moment. Mrs Cuddy looks at her as surprised as Greg. ‘Oh, really?? Well that's wonderful... why didn't anda tell us before?’
‘Not many people know it... I thought I should tell anda personally instead of oleh phone...’
‘That is good news. Congratulations.’ He smiles at House. ‘Take care of her, uh?’
Greg chuckles. ‘Yeah...’
Lisa smiles at him. ‘Shall we go to my house?’
‘Sure.’ Alvin takes a gerobak, keranjang and puts their suitcase there. House approaches to him.
‘Let me help you.’
‘Oh anda don’t have to Greg, Alvin can pull it.’
‘No it's okay, it's like using a walker frame!!’
‘Thank you! How polite.’ Says to his wife in a low voice.
Lisa approaches to him and they walk after her parents. ‘How nice from you.’
In a low voice and kidding. ‘If anda parents don't like me they won't let me marry you. And I have to say that I'm not willing to elope with anda and leave the country!!’

Bonnie spokes to his husband in a low voice. ‘I thought Lisa told us he was very annoying, rude and childish every time she talked about him...’
‘Yes, but if she's dating him it means that he has something she likes. He can't be so rude and annoying...’

Cuddy chuckles. ‘Silly. anda don't have to behave different. Just be nice with them but don't stop being you. I like you, I'm sure they'll like anda too.’
‘Well I just took this because it's easier for me to walk with it, not because I wanted to help your father...’

Her parents keep talking. ‘Yes, must be. 'Cause if it's not that... I can't understand it.’ She rises her head. ‘Well, and how long have anda been dating, Lisa?’
‘Not very much time yet. A little less than a month...’
House keeps on pulling the gerobak, keranjang in silence.
‘How long anda know each other?’
‘A little lebih than twenty years.’
‘Oh, that’s a long time.’ Says Alvin.
‘So anda also were in Michigan with Lisa?’
‘Hmm, yes I was, yes... My last tahun was her first one there...’
‘Yes, and some years later we met again and I hired him.’
They finally get to the car. ‘Uh huh. And anda live together?’
‘Not really, we live close but we don’t live together.’ Says House.
‘Oh... I see... and aren't anda gonna pindah in?’
Cuddy looks at her mum surprised and speechless. ‘Eh... we've just spent a few days on vacation “living” together...’
‘That sounds good. Where have anda both been to? Did anda have fun?’
‘Yes, it was great... we went to Rome and london and... we had... a good time.’ He can’t help thinking of how much fun they had, specially in the elevator, the plane...
‘Lisa has always wanted to go to Rome, but she always had to work and she never had time to go before.’ Annotates Alvin.
‘I think it's very romantic that anda had the chance to go there together and share your vacation.’
Cuddy speaks in a low voice. ‘Yeah, romantic... We really enjoyed, we both needed a vacation.’
‘Yes... I was tired of being exploited oleh her and she was tired of exploiting me.’
Her parents laugh and she looks at Greg with her mouth open. ‘That's not true! I'll never get tired of exploiting anda and you'll never get tired of ignoring me... He hates doing clinic duty.’
Alvin gets closer to him and says in a low voice. ‘She always had very much character. If I were anda I wouldn't ignore her.’
‘That saran would have helped me a lot when I started to work in the hospital... I'm afraid now it's too late.’
‘Hahaha, you're made for each other. anda must have fun together...’
‘Yes, we have fun, but sometimes... we drive each other mad.’
‘Yes... sometimes...’ Says Greg looking at his girl.
‘You're made for each other, I agree with Bonnie. anda know for a long time, you're friends, anda work together and despite that anda can stand each other...’
House chuckles. ‘Let me correct you, we barely can stand each other... but we're making a huge effort, aren't we, honey?’
‘Really huge.’ She chuckles and finally they get to her home.


‘You're gonna stay with us to have dinner, aren’t anda Greg?’ Asks Bonnie.
‘Hmm... yeah, I'll stay here.’
‘Well, I guess you're hungry after the flight.’
‘Yes, actually I'm starving. anda need some help?’
‘No, no, don't worry dad. anda and mum can go to put your stuff in the room. Greg can help me.’
House and Cuddy go to the dapur and start cooking.
‘I think they like you.’
‘Really? They just know me for thirty menit long. How can anda know that?’
‘I don’t know, I have a hunch.’
They keep preparing dinner. When they finish, they all meet in the dinning room.
‘That smells delicious!! I guess we have very good chefs haha.’
‘Thanks mum.’
‘You are also a vegetarian like her? atau she forces anda to eat always salads?’ Asks Alvin to House.
‘I force her to cook binatang which have been killed wildly when we eat together...’ Lisa’s parents looks at him oddly. ‘But... I also like chicken...’
‘It's his sense of humor, you'll get used to it.’
‘Hahaha, I'm sure we will.’
They start eating. Lisa’s father sips a bit of wine. ‘Delicious. Tell us something lebih about anda Greg. Where are anda from?’
‘Well... I'm from New Jersey, but my parents and I moved a lot when I was a kid.’
‘But have anda been always living in The States?’ He nods. ‘Where do your parents live? if is not indiscretion.’
‘My mother lives in Lexington, my stepfather died and I don't know my real father.’
Bonnie feels embarrased for Alvin’s pertanyaan and remains quiet.
‘Oh I'm so sorry... I didn't mean it...’
‘No, it's okay... I find it out when I was twelve...’
‘Wow, anda were a very observant kid to find that out at twelve.’
‘He hasn't changed.’ Says Lisa.
‘Well... I guess I read too much detective books. Too much Sherlock Holmes...’
Alvin smiles at him. ‘Great books.’
They smile at each other and after a while, they finish eating. ‘It was delicious.’
‘Yes, really. Well I think Bonnie and I should go to tempat tidur now, we're a bit tired... Are anda gonna stay here tonight, Greg?’
‘Hmm... I think I'd better go home... you'd probably need your own luar angkasa here and I don't wanna bother the host.’
‘Oh don't worry, anda don't bother us at all. anda can stay if anda want!’ Says Lisa’s dad.
‘I'm sure Lisa can arrange a nice place for anda to sleep.’
Cuddy was looking at the scene in silence. ‘Oh yes, yeah... I have a bedroom left. It’s okay if anda want to stay.’ She looks at him.
‘Okay...’
Lisa’s parents smile, they are happy for their daugther. ‘Okay, goodnight then.’
‘Sleep tight.’


After tidying up they go to the living room and lie on the sofa to watch TV for a while before going to sleep.
‘It's strange to be here with anda and my parents.’
‘Yes... it's like... very formal.’
‘Odd...’
‘Yep...’
They watch TV in silence and Greg puts his arm around her shoulders, then she lies her head on his shoulder and he draws circles with his thumb. Lisa holds his other hand and they stay thus for a while.
‘I think we shoud go to sleep...’
They stand up and go to her bedroom. She puts on her pajamas and he takes off his clothes ‘cause he doesn’t have any pajamas there. They get in tempat tidur and Lisa puts her hand on his chest.
‘Your parents are selanjutnya doors...’
Cuddy rolls her eyes. ‘I’m fully aware of it...’
House sighs. ‘I guess tomorrow I'll wake up earlier so I can go home, take a mandi, shower and go to work on time.’
‘I'll drive anda to your home. If anda wait for me first I'll take a mandi, shower and we can go to the hospital from there.’
‘Okay... what will your parents do tomorrow?’
‘I think they're going to visit my cousins that live lebih atau less close from here.’
‘Okay.’ He lies looking at her and kisses her forehead. ‘Goodnight.’
‘Sleep tight.’ She gives him a ciuman on his lips and they fall asleep.
