Some days pass and they keep on trying to have a baby. They go back to work and go on with their life. One day House and Cuddy come back home after a long day at the hospital and lie on the couch together.
‘What are you thinking?’ Lisa asks.
‘I just... was daydreaming... I imagined us with a baby...’
She smiles and imagines it too. ‘Nice picture...’
He chuckles. ‘An odd one...’
‘Actually yes... but it will be nice...’
He hugs her and kisses her forehead, and then she lies her head on his chest. ‘In a few weeks I’ll take the pregnancy test, and I’m already nervous.’
‘Anyway, we should keep on trying until that moment comes... it's not that I have any special interest, like sexual issues and stuff like that... it's just to be sure...’ Jokes House.
‘Yes, yes, I know is just for reproductive purposes...’ She chuckles and kisses him.
‘Absolutely. Your wishes are orders for me; I'm your sexual slave.’ He winks exaggeratedly.
‘You love me being your boss, don’t you?’ She smiles. ‘Well... if you are my sexual slave...’ She plays with his shirt and raises an eyebrow teasing him. ‘I’m ovulating, let’s go...’
‘Oh... yes mistress!!!’ He kisses her.


They keep on trying and trying to have a baby for a few weeks. The moment of taking the pregnancy test has come and they go back home. ‘Okay, this is not the first time I do this but I feel like it is...’
He gives her a kiss. ‘Fingers crossed!!!’
She goes to the bathroom and takes the test, then she goes to the living room and sits on the couch with him. ‘Okay, now the worst part... we have to wait.’
‘Yep...’
Cuddy sighs and tries not to look nervous. ‘Well... How are things going with your patient?’
‘Well... it's going... if things go wrong I can always blame Foreman...’
She chuckles. ‘Good...’
‘Yeah...’ He looks around and they wait for a while in silence. Lisa stands up and walks back and forth in the room.
‘Time won't go faster if you walk around the room... Calm down...’
She looks at him and leans on the wall. ‘I can’t, sorry.’
He nods and stands up to go next to her and hugs her.
‘Thanks...’ Lisa sighs. ‘You wanna look first?’
He takes the test. ‘I don't understand the code... look at it...’
She takes it. ‘I’m... not pregnant...’ Then she leaves it on the table.
‘Well... don't worry... sometimes it doesn't come that fast...’
‘And sometimes it doesn’t even come... ever...’
‘Don't say that... it's not easy... just that... we're not gonna give up so fast, uh?’
She looks at him. ‘It’s okay. We can keep trying.’ They hug. ‘Let’s go to eat something and to sleep, I’m a bit tired today...’


They keep on trying for some weeks more. Cuddy gets more pregnancy tests but she is not pregnant.
One night after their last failed test they’re lying on the bed before going to sleep. She is starting to get worried because maybe she has missed her chance...
He knows that she is worried but he doesn’t know what he can do except from trying to calm her down.
‘I was thinking that we could try with some extra-help... I mean... we could try a fertility treatment.’
‘You think it could work?’
‘Maybe... It could be worth trying.’
She nods. ‘Okay, we could try.’ She hugs him. ‘If that doesn’t work either...’
‘Then I'll kidnap the first kid I see in the street...’ Jokes House making her smile.
‘If finally we can’t have our own baby and you still want it, we’ll always can adopt a kid, I guess...’
‘Do not worry; it will go fine with the fertility treatment... We can talk to someone tomorrow if you want. We can get some injections and so...’
‘Okay, but I don’t wanna have the whole hospital talking about me fucking my boss of the Diagnostic Department and that we can’t have a baby on our own...’
He opens his eyes exaggeratedly. ‘My God, if you keep on saying things like those I'm capable of raping you right now!!!’
She chuckles. ‘You know that if both people want is not rape...’
‘I just liked the idea of not being your sexual slave for a moment...’
‘We are sexual slaves of each other, if you feel better.’ She smiles at him widely. ‘Let’s make babies...’ House chuckles and kisses her.


Next day, they go to the hospital and ask to one of the specialized doctors about fertilization methods. They agree to start the treatment. At night, they go back home and are about to start with her first dose. House prepares the syringe. ‘You ready?’
‘No, but do it already because I’m not gonna-- Ah!’
Before she finishes the sentence House knocks in the syringe. ‘Twice a day, this is gonna be fun...’
She takes the lint. ‘Fun for you... My poor ass...’
‘There's no prize without sacrifice.’
‘And what is your sacrifice in this context...’
‘I'll make a huge, huge effort to have sex with you at any time... it's very hard, but I'll try to do it...’
Cuddy chuckles. ‘Yes, I’m sure that’s very hard for you! It’s a huge effort that I also have to do.’
‘But I'm willing to sacrifice, don't worry!!!’
‘Let's see if this finally works...’ They go to the bedroom to sleep. Yes, they also need to sleep, you dirty minded...
‘Goodnight Lisa...’
‘Goodnight future…’ Fingers crossed. ‘daddy...’
