This is the second story of this series.

It has been a month since House and Cuddy started dating. Let's do an update.

House: usually goes home with Cuddy, unless she is working late or he is on a case. He usually waits for her to leave in the morning before he heads back to his apartment and gets changed. No major fighting has gone on between the two.

Cuddy: will stay late at the hospital with House if he has a case. She hates to hear how quiet her house is without him.

Wilson: went out on a couple of dates with Natalie, but Natalie got bored of him. He tries to go out with House to lunch a lot, since House spends a lot of his nights with Cuddy.

Chase: has a pool going on of when House and Cuddy will break up. His month is May.

Cameron: has tried not to seem too jealous of House and Cuddy, so she tried to avoid conversations about it with them. Her month is April.

Foreman: same old same old. His month is September (he thinks Cuddy would only go out with House if she really liked him, so he thinks she will try hard to keep them together).

Natalie: goes to lunch with Cuddy sometimes. She loves to pick on her for dating House (even though she would still love to go out with him).

Could It Be I'm Falling In Love

February 11

5:45am

House had been lying in bed awake for the past hour. If he had been at his apartment, he probably would have gotten up and played the piano, but since he was at Cuddy's house and she had her head resting on his chest, he decided to stay put in bed and let her sleep. He had been having a hard time sleeping the past few days trying to think of a Valentine's present for Cuddy. He didn't understand why he cared so much. With Stacy, he just usually got her flowers, if anything and Wilson was the one who usually bought the flowers.

I should have waited to ask her out until it was after Valentine's Day, House thought to himself. That way, the new would have been worn off by the time our first Valentine's Day together rolled around.

Cuddy grabbed onto his shirt a little tighter and moved her face into his chest more.

House smiled. He wasn't much of a cuddler, but he didn't really mind having a half-naked Cuddy snuggling against him.

What would be a perfect present for her? House asked himself. He had spent the last few days looking things up on the Internet for ideas, but everything seemed lame.

At first, he was going to buy her some jewelry, but he thought that doing that was a cop-out. He wanted to get her something that showed he actually put some thought into it, not something that ever other guy in America was buying. He didn't want it to be corny, though, like him singing a love song to her.

He also thought about getting her some sexy lingerie, but he realized that lingerie was more of a present for him.

He also thought about buying her a new toaster because hers was slowly dying, but then he remembered the time that his dad had bought his mom one for her birthday and even though she liked the gift, he knew she wanted something more romantic, nothing something she could use to make him breakfast. Another idea he had was to download his favorite love songs on her Ipod so she could listen to, but then he realized that he wasn't 15 and that was starting to hit the corny side. House realized that he needed help.

House slowly moved Cuddy's body off of his. Cuddy moaned a little as she lost the warmth of his body on a cold February morning. House made sure he wrapped the blankets around her tightly.

He went into the living room and dialed Natalie's number.

"Lisa, I had a bad date last night and do not feel like talking right now," Natalie said when she answered up the phone. "Call me later when I get the guy's nasty breath out of my mouth." Natalie had seen Cuddy's caller ID on her phone and hadn't given House enough time to say who was calling.

"I am sure that you have had a lot nastier things in your mouth besides someone's bad breath," House replied back to her.

"Greg, if you are calling for a quickie, I am going to tell Lisa," Natalie said. "Hers is the only mouth that should be touching you."

House let out a little laugh. "I am actually calling you for a favor," House said. "This favor requires you keeping your mouth shut, though."

"Is it a surprise or something?" Natalie asked House, waking up a little more.

"I need help with picking out a present for Cuddy," House said, wishing he didn't need to ask her for help. "You cannot give her any hints what I am giving her or that I even talked to you, okay?"

"Fine," Natalie said. "How about we meet for lunch later today?"

"You cannot tell her that we meet for lunch either or she will know something is up," House said. He really wanted to surprise Cuddy.

"I won't tell her," Natalie said.

"I will meet you at the Outback Steakhouse at 12:30," House said.

"It's a date, mister sister," Natalie said to him with a smile. "I will try to think up some good ideas before then."

"Thanks," House said before saying goodbye and hanging up the phone.

House stayed in the living room thinking about the perfect present and if Natalie could really keep her mouth shut. "If she ruins this, I will kill her," House said. He would have loved to ask Wilson for help, but Wilson couldn't keep a secret if his life depended on it.

Cuddy reached her arm into the cold air to turn off her alarm clock that was blaring. She then reached her hand out to put it on House's chest, only to find him gone. She was a little shocked because she usually had to wake him up in the morning before she left for work.

She looked up and saw that his clothes were still there, but the bathroom light was not on. Cuddy rolled herself out of bed and made her way into the living room. She saw House sitting in the dark, looking out the window, and rubbing his leg. House had been lost in his own world, so he jumped when she asked him if he was okay.

"I'm fine," House said to her, still rubbing his leg.

"Does your leg hurt bad?" Cuddy asked.

"It's just a little stiff," House said, not really realizing that he had been rubbing his leg. Cuddy went and sat down on House's left leg and rested her body up against his chest, reaching down with her left hand to rub his leg for him. For the month they had been dating, she had never really touched his leg before. She had pretty much tried to avoid it because she was afraid of causing him pain, but she wanted to let him know he could tell her when his leg hurt and she would try to comfort him.

Cuddy gently rubbed House's leg the way he had been doing it. House was very self-conscious of his leg and didn't like her paying any attention to it, hoping that she would forget that he was crippled. His body stiffened a little when she first started to rub it, but the tension eased as she rubbed it and nestled her face into his neck. House started to rub her back with his left hand.

"Do you want to go out to lunch today?" Cuddy asked him.

"I already have plans with Wilson," House lied. House brought up his right hand and pushed the hair out of her face. "We can have fun tonight for dinner, though. I promise not to have as much fun with Wilson."

Cuddy started kissing House's neck. "You know I am jealous of Wilson," Cuddy teased him. House leaned his head down and used his right hand to lift her chin up and kissed her lips.

"You will eventually learn to kiss better than Wilson," House said with a smirk. Cuddy sat up on his lap and gave him a playful hit in the chest. House started to rub his chest and pretended to be fighting the tears in his eyes.

"Did I hurt you?" Cuddy said with a smile on her face, lowering herself down and planting little kisses on the part of the chest where she had hit him.

"Lower," House said pointing down to his groin. Cuddy moved her kisses down his body, not stopping when she reached his pajama bottoms. Cuddy stuck her hand in his pants and pulled out his cock. She started to plant kisses all over it before she stuck it in her mouth and started to hum.

Natalie was right, House though, thinking about Natalie's comment that Cuddy's mouth was for him. House then felt Cuddy's hand starting to rub up and down his shaft as she licked the tip. Cuddy kept doing this until House exploded into her mouth. House knew that he would have to repay her later for this. Cuddy started moving her kisses back to his chest.

"Do you feel better now?" Cuddy asked him with a smirk on her face.

"In my medical opinion, I think I need that form of medicine at least once a day," House said. Cuddy smiled at him as she stood up to head to the kitchen, licking her lips seductively for him. House smiled. He got up to follow her into the kitchen. He stopped before entering the kitchen, noticing a funny feeling in his chest. House shrugged it off and preceded into the kitchen.
