House awoke to find Cuddy's side of the cama empty. The alarm clock read midnight. House wrapped the sheet around himself and went toward the nursery where he guessed she'd be.
He stood in the doorway and watched Cuddy gently stroke her daughter's head as she slept.
"She's sound asleep."
Cuddy turned at the sound of his voice.
"She is. I just like to check on her."
House walked over to her. He noticed she was only wearing a pajama top.
"It's chilly you should come back to bed."
"This is our first natal together." She said as she smiled down at Rachel.
"Your first natal as a mom."
Cuddy looked up at House and moved to kiss his cheek.
"That's the first time you've called me a mom."
House put an arm around her.
"You know this is our first natal together too." He said as he held her close to him.
"Wow, it is isn't? Twenty years of friendship and this is our first natal together. It almost makes me a little sad." Cuddy said as she lay her head against his shoulder.
"I'm usually drinking with Wilson at this time. I like the change in routine." He said as he stroked her hair. Cuddy smiled at his words.
"Time for bed." Cuddy said after beijar his shoulder.
House nodded in agreement and the two made their way back to the bedroom.
