Morning, May 15

Cuddy really didn't sleep after House left, not even after she turned off the light and stretched out in the bed. She dozed a little but always roused after a few minutes to look at the bassinet. Emma slept, at least, and watching her daughter sleeping so innocently was completely engrossing for Cuddy ( Read more... )

For a little while, House managed to get back to sleep. It was a doze but with still vivid dreams, a doze that had him feeling groggier when he roused from it. For a little while, he struggled between finding the energy to get himself up out of bed and simply rolling over to go back to sleep. Physically, he felt like he could sleep for the entire day but as thoughts of the night before took more solid form in his mind, he forgot about tiredness and got lost in thought over the baby ( ... )

"Well, she doesn't get it from me," Cuddy retorted in a mild tone. Emma's crying was.... Well, it was loud but it was also completely normal. Babies cried. Early on, they had very few ways of communicating their needs. Crying was a very good way of getting Mom or Dad's attention when a baby needed something. Emma clearly wasn't going to have any trouble communicating her needs.

She watched House walk over, smiling when he asked about his two favorite girls. She honestly hadn't known what to expect when he returned to the scene of the crime, as it were. He'd been very supportive all through her labor and he'd been affectionate with Emma but he'd also been a bit dazed by the whole experience. She wasn't sure how he'd be feeling about fatherhood once he had a chance to clear his mind. It appeared either his mind was still clouded or he was warming up to being a daddy ( ... )

Letting Cuddy take his hand, House bent down and met her lips, giving her a light kiss. He let her hand go and brushed his fingers over the side of the baby's head, as a kind of acknowledgement of her and to let her know he was here, even though she wouldn't care or even know what that meant ( ... )

Cuddy let out a soft snort. Yeah, she was sure she looked like she was ready for a party. A slumber party, maybe. Definitely a shower kind of party. Somehow she didn't think she was going to have much of night life in the near future, not the partying kind anyway. Her nightlife was going to consist of diaper changes and midnight feedings and that didn't sound too bad. As much as she enjoyed getting dressed up and going out, she liked staying in just as much. She liked the idea of staying in with Emma even better ( ... )
