He loves her. She is so much fucking work, and her loves her. Lucky Cuddy.

Not so lucky Wilson, lol.

I was so happy to find a new sharkverse tonight. Thank you.

Yes, she is, and yes, he does. That says it beautifully.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

I have been so eagerly awaiting this next chapter and you did not disappoint. It's nice that everyone respects/supports House and Cuddy together enough to leave a hard-worked thanksgiving dinner at the drop of a hat to give them alone time. It's really quite...I don't want to say cute, perhaps romantic, just how much House and Cuddy are each others' anchors. Man, you write them so well.

My mind went straight to the gutter when Cuddy mentioned all the lotion bottles, but then I remembered from earlier how House was searching for her brand of lotion and scent, and just thought how sweet it would be for Cuddy to learn that reason instead of the more obvious guess. It's the little things, and again you do it so great.

They are completely wrapped up in each other, and despite his best intentions House really can't get out of that. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Chan is just temporary, and you will see in part 11 that he had ulterior motives for agreeing to step in.

Thanks for reviewing.

An optimist agnostic Wilson. Perfect. Suits his personality well.

Dang, House was sweet, you made me forgive House after the last chapter. I'm still bothered by the fact that Stacy was the one who ends the "this" and not House.

My fave chapter so far. A very lovely one.

Thanks; I'm glad you liked it.

I love Wilson's comments back to God! And it exactly fits House to remain silent and then gleefully break the news to him they've got to turn around and head back. Aside from the road trip/leg pain, House has gotten to mock Wilson and come home to Cuddy, so a pretty good Thanksgiving.

The dinner sounded delish! I hope everyone took home lots of Tupperware at least. And I really like that you added the 'lost weight' for Cuddy - that's sort of how I pictured it, she's been so focused on studying, and missing her family, that she would be skinnier. But still strong enough to give House a fight when he was trying to love her like she needed. With the joy of them being reunited, I almost forgot about Stacy. And now of course, I'm very curious to see what House's deal is with Chan. That The House's are a package deal? But that seems like it would make Cuddy feel like she only got a job because of House. Or House could be pulling some sort of fast one on Chan, which would be like him.
Can't wait to find out! :)
