Oh, Oh, My lovely House.

That night, the woman he loves lies in his arms, fed and bathed and uncoiled, and tells him she’s never been so happy, and he is overwhelmed by a strange, deep pride.

Thank you, Stenvey. A story when I first get up, and a story when I go to bed.

Love your Rachel, and love,love your Cuddy.

Cuddy strikes me as a person who would find relaxing on a vacation a challenge, and House wouldn't make that easy. His mother's new life without John would present some issues for him, too. Their Costa Rica trips would be interesting.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

What an incredibly delightful surprise - a new chapter! And, always, such spectacular writing. So much humour: “This is insane," she complains. "Her directions include the shape of the damned trees and the color of the rocks along the road, but we still can’t find her house? What the hell?“ is my favourite. But I also love the insights you offer into the way that House parents Rachel (and the implied contrast with the way House himself was parented) - “You should not go off the road, Mom,” Rachel chides solemnly. “There might be a reason that the chickens use the road -- because the snakes and things off the road are even more dangerous to their babies than the cars on the road are” or her later observation that “You owe me a bunch of chapters, too,” she scolded. But, at the end of the day, what I love most is the way you capture House's anxieties and uncertainties - how to confront his biological father (and his unwillingness to do so in his home); his instant panic when he finds that Cuddy has vanished from the jeep; and the way

House seeks, but does not trust, happiness. He's treading very carefully, afraid he's going to screw it up.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Yay, new chapter!

Can't wait to see the interaction between House and Thomas. Love the flashback to a family vacation, House's love for his family, the way he can barely believe he has a home and loved ones, and how it's saving him. That's just amazing.

House is insecure and anxious, but he's also determined to get answers and that presents a conflict.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.
