That's another of my stories. I wrote it in Italian last ano and I now decided to translate it into Eglish with SammiMD's help. Hope you'll enjoy the story.
This chapter is shorter that the others, be patient and I'll upload as soon as I translated the seguinte part.
For the ones who also read "Happy Birthday Sunshine": I didn't give up on the story. I'm trying to upload a new chapter as soon as I can but I'm very busy those days. I'll be able to upload a new part in 1/2 days I hope.

"Learning how to say Goodbye" Part 1
Telling Wilson
Lisa Cuddy entered the Oncologist's office without knocking.
"House, when will you learn how to knock?"
"Well, if you're busy I'll come back later"
Wilson looked up in surprise. "Cuddy, I'm sorry. I thought it was House. He's usually the one that doesn't knock, not you..."
"That's alright..."
"You wanted to tell me something?"
Cuddy's hand went to the doorknob, contemplating escaping before he could ask her any mais questions.
"Er, no ..."
"Ok. So…do you want to tell me why you're here?"
"I'm sorry I forgot that I have a somewhere else to be..."
"Lisa?"
"Yes?"
"Did he ask you to marry him?"
Cuddy looked at him. He didn't know how to interpret the expression on her face. Was it surprise? Maybe shock? Could it possibly be fear?
"How ... how do you know?"
"Maybe because you're trembling like a leaf? Or, maybe because you have the ring on your finger?"
Cuddy covered the ring with her other hand.
"Don't you tell him!"
"Tell who, House? No, this is up to you. I have stopped passing messages to him for you."
Cuddy was closing the door behind her when she turned back to the doctor behind the desk.
"James, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
"You're the one who has to know if this is right or terribly wrong. I'm not the one that can decide that."
"You know what? You're starting to act like House. You two spend too much time together."
"Do you want to know what I really think?"
The Dean of Medicine gave him a quick nod.
"You should think twice before saying yes to Lucas' proposal. You have to be really sure of what you feel. I think you already know what I mean. Are you really in amor with him, or are you just looking for a replacement to keep my cynical and misanthropic best friend at bay?"
" Wilson, I'm not changing my opinion about you and House - you two spend too much time together."
Telling House
Lisa Cuddy walked into the Diagnostic Department that night. She saw House sitting at his escrivaninha, mesa sleeping. She turned on her heel, about to leave, when he stopped her.
"Dr. Cuddy, what a pleasure to see your bunda just as I wake up!"
Cuddy smiled before turning to admonish him with her "I have power and you don't" tone. "Dr. House, don't you think that making those kinds of comments to your boss at work might be inappropriate?"
"We know both that I'm the one in control here!"
"Yeah, whatever you want to believe!"
"Anyway, nice ring."
For the umpteenth time her hand went to cover the ring on her finger. Cuddy turned back to the doorway but was stopped again por his voice.
"So, when did he propose?"
"Last month..."
"Well, when is the 'big day'?"
In addition to drawing quotation marks in the air, House said that phrase in an odd manner, his lips apart and eyes staring at the ceiling, dreamily lost.
"10th of June. It's the first Saturday that Lucas doesn't have to work."
"Wow, good for June 10th."
"Thanks. I think I should probably go now."
"Ok..."
Cuddy approached the door again, but this time no one stopped her. Instead she stopped por herself, and with her hand still on the doorknob she turned around.
"House..."
"I'm happy for you Lisa..."
"Thanks..."
She whispered the last word, but stopped before continuing what she wanted to say to him. It would create too much chaos between them. Chaos had already existed between them for 20 years. But despite that, for the last ano their relationship had strengthened. She didn't want to lose that now.
This chapter is shorter that the others, be patient and I'll upload as soon as I translated the seguinte part.
For the ones who also read "Happy Birthday Sunshine": I didn't give up on the story. I'm trying to upload a new chapter as soon as I can but I'm very busy those days. I'll be able to upload a new part in 1/2 days I hope.
