"Learning how to say Goodbye"

Epilogue: Almost a tahun later

Cuddy's POV

Rachel walked into my office. "Mom! House mencuri all the candies!"
"Rach, anda know House ..."
"But Mom! He mencuri all the candies!
"Ok ..."

I pick up the phone and call your office.

"House ..."
"House! Why on earth do anda always have to steal candies from Rachel?"
"Why do anda always accuse me?"
"Because usually you're the one who causes problems here!"
"This time I behaved in a mature way and anda give me ..."
"Mature way? anda have stolen candies from a 3-year-old!"
"She had already eaten too many. If I hadn't taken them she would have made herself sick!"

anda seem sincere. I put a hand on the receiver and I speak to Rachel.

"Honey, is it true that anda had already eaten a lot of candies?"
"No ..."
"Are anda telling me the truth?"
"Yes ..."

That said, my daughter went out shutting the door behind her.

"She's only 3 years old and has already learned to lie to her mother ..." I rue.
"Like mother like daughter ..."
"House!"
"Sorry ..."
"Go back to work ..."
"Not to worry, I sent Thirteen to do my shift in the clinic ..."
"House, anda should be the one doing your shift ..."
"But I also saved the teeth and stomach of your baby. Shouldn't I have a reward for that?"
"We'll discuss this later..."
"Ok, I'll be down in your office in 5 minutes. Be prepared!"
"No Greg! We will talk at halaman awal ..."
"But Mom!... "
"No buts ..."
"Ugh ..."
"Go back to work, and oleh that I mean also the clinic!"
"But..."
"Now House"
"Ok ..."
"And ... House ... thanks!"
"Mmmm ... you're welcome ..."

I turn my attention back to my work.

"Mom!" Rachel came back into my office, waving a stroberi lollipop in one hand and a crumpled $1 bill in the other.
"Rachel, what is it now?"
"I know something anda don't know!"
"Ok, wanna tell me about it?"
"House said: do not tell anyone, not Mom atau Uncle Jimmy!"
"Oh, did he really say that?"
"Yes, and he also gave me $1 for my candies he took!"
"Honey, if it's something important anda should tell Mom ..."
"If I tell you, anda won't tell anyone?"
"Of course I won't tell anyone!"
"Promise..."
"Ok, I promise not to tell anyone your secret."
"House told me he wants to surprise anda ..."
"Did he really tell anda this?"
"Yes! Well, I found it oleh myself."
"Oh ... what's that?"
"I found a box in his office ..."
"What? Rachel I told anda not to run around the hospital oleh yourself. Do anda understand?"
"Yes, sorry ..."
"So, what did anda find?"
"She found this ..."

At that moment anda enter my office with a big blue box. Your eyes are fixed on me. Rachel, sitting on the dipan, sofa with me, starts laughing. I stand up and walk towards you. anda take my hand and pull me down to sit selanjutnya to anda on the couch.

"House, what is it?"
"It's everything we've been through."
"What?"
"Everything that reminds me of our adventures."
"Our adventures, huh?"
"Yeah. Everything from our history together – from studying in Michigan, the infarction in my leg, all the way up to the Lucas idiot ..."
"Lucas idiot?" Rachel looks at anda smiling, and with her eyes looks back and forth between us.
"Do anda remember Lucas? Mommy's old friend?"
"Yes ... the younger one..."
" Hey, Are anda calling me old?"
"Yes, but you're better looking!"

I laugh like I've never done before. My daughter likes to joke around with you!

"She's starting to talk like anda Cuddy!"
"Yeah ..."
"Anyway, this is everything we've been through till today."
"Today?"
"Yes, today ..."
"Why today?"
"Because today it's been 24 years we've known each other."

I look at anda in amazement. After all these years of pranks and practical jokes anda are in my office on a hari that could be normal for anyone but us. We are celebrating 24 years together. It's been a strange relationship made of ups and downs. There have been days when we loved each other and days when we can't stand each other, days when anda mean everything to me and days when I wanted to cut off your head, days when I wanted to take the first step and days when I wished anda had. We are unable to have a normal relationship, because are not just any people. We are Lisa and Greg. We've known each other for an age. I've loved anda for a lifetime.
