It was a week later, Cuddy is out of the hospital and now at House's dorm.
"I'm glad you managed to get out of the accident with on a broken leg and a slight concussion." House said to her.
"Yeah but my leg is broken in two places."
"But you're fine and that's all that matters." He says then kisses her. After a silence, Cuddy asks,
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Anything."
"But you have to be honest."
"I promise."
"Why did you cheat on me?" She asked.
"Because I can never handle relationships. I always have to screw them up in some way because I never want to get hurt." He explained.
"I will never hurt you."
"I know that now. I'm sorry."
"I love you."
"I love you too Lisa." Then there was a knock at the door. House got up and answered it.
"Oh, hey Wilson." He said.
"Are you busy?" Wilson asked.
"Cuddy's over but you can come in."
"Hi Wilson." Cuddy says as he enters the room.
"How are you feeling today?"
"Good very good." She replies with a smile on her face while she is looking at House.
The next morning House and Cuddy are talking.
"So next week is the end of the school year. Are you going to live with your family or rent an apartment?" House asks.
"Probably get an apartment. What about you?"
"Definitely apartment. Umm...what if we rented an apartment together?"
"...I think that would be great." She replied.
"Then I guess we should meet each others family."
"Yeah, I suppose."
Later that night House is on the phone with his mother, telling her the news.
"But Greg, I don't even know her. And you two have only been dating for 9 months. She could be psycho." Blythe says.
"Mom she's not a psycho. She's my girlfriend."
"OK. When are you two coming over so your father and I can meet her?"
"In a couple of weeks."
"OK. Greg see you then. I love you."
"Love you too Mom." He replies then hangs up the phone. He looks at Cuddy and says,
"Now it's your turn to call your mom."
She sighs.
"Come on Lisa. She can't be that bad."
"You don't know her." She says then dials her mom's number.
"Hello?" Arlene says.
"Hi Mom. It's Lisa."
"Oh Lisa. Hello."
"School ends next Friday."
"When are you coming home?"
"Well, I'm not."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to rent an apartment with Greg." Cuddy explains.
"Greg?"
"My boyfriend of 9 months. I talked to you about him for 15 minutes."
"Oh yes. Greg Home."
"House. It's Greg House. Not Home."
"Whatever."
"So can I rent an apartment with him?" Cuddy asks.
"Lisa, I don't want you living with a man that I haven't even met."
"You'll meet him in a few weeks."
"You're too young." Arlene says.
"I'm 19. An adult."
"Then why are you asking for my permission?"
"Because I thought you trusted me enough to allow me to make my own decisions." Cuddy says.
"Fine. I'll see you in while. Goodbye Lisa."
"Goodbye Mother." She says then hangs up the phone.
"OK. Let's go look for apartments." Cuddy says.
"Let us go, my dear."
