It was pasko night and House was flipping through his telebisyon trying to find something to watch.
"Damn, all pasko movies," he sinabi as he turned off his tv in disgust. The last thing he needed was another reminder that he was alone during this time of family, peace, and happiness. Deciding to calll it an early night, he headed towards his bedroom when he heard the phone ring.
"This better be an emergency," House answered the phone.
"Hi, Greg, it's me," sinabi the voice on the other end of the line.
"Hi, mom. Merry Christmas," he managed to say through his surprise. His mother hasn't called him on pasko for years.
"Merry Christmas, son. Don't hang up yet," she sinabi as House was about to hang up the phone.
"What else is there to talk about?" he asked.
"Well, as you know, this is my first pasko without your father," Blythe House said.
"I know," House sinabi feeling rather uncomfortable.
"I figured now was as good a time as any to tell you the truth, because if you can't say it on Christmas, then when can you say it, right?" she sinabi hesistantly.
"What are you talking about, mom?" asked House.
"Your real father is not John House. He's actually-"
"Mike Collins," House cut off his mother.
"How did you know?"
"I figured it out when I was twelve. Dad, or should I say stepdad, was deployed to
Okinawa at the time I was supposed to have been conceived; his segundo toe is bigger than his big toe and mine isn't; lastly, I have a birthmark on my scalp that matches Mike's birthmark.
"I guess I should explain," sinabi Blythe.
"There's no need for that. I understand. You hated him so you cheated on him," sinabi House. Blythe chuckled at this.
"No, that's not how it was like at all. You see, I met Mike at a military ball, the same place I met John. They were best friends. Mike looked so handsome in his uniform and the way he smiled at me, it just melted my heart. I guess you could say it was pag-ibig at first sight," Blythe said.
"Mom, I'm really not in the mood for story time," sinabi House annoyed.
"Would you just listen for once?" his mother shot back at him.
"Fine," House sinabi exasperated.
"Unfortunately, Mike was very shy. He didn't dance with anyone the entire night. John ended up asking me out even though I wished it was Mike instead, but you can't always get what you want. One thing led to another and John and I ended up getting married, but through it all, Mike and I still kept in touch; he was John's best friend after all. Then one day, I got a call from the Army. They sinabi that the fighter jet John was on crashed. They couldn't find his body, but they did find his dog pananda in the midst of the wreckage. I was devastated. I thought John was dead so I turned to Mike for comfort. We spent a lof of time together during the weeks that John was missing. Then one night, he professed his pag-ibig for me. That was the night you were conceived. sa pamamagitan ng the time I found out I was pregnant, John had been redeployed to Germany and Mike was deployed to I don't know where. It wasn't until a few years later when John and I moved back to Kentucky that I saw Mike again. He was happliy married. That's when it hit me. I couldn't tell anyone that you were his child because I'd be breaking not one, but two families. It was easier to let John think that you were his son who was born one buwan prematurely," Blythe finally finished.
House was speechless. The sordid pag-ibig story his mother just told him was not what he was expecting.
"Greg, are you still there?" Blythe finally broke the silence.
"Yeah, I'm still here," House answered.
"Good. If you learned anything from this story, Greg, learn this: don't wait to tell someone you pag-ibig that you pag-ibig them because then it could be too late and you'll forever live to regret it," his mother said.
"Ok, mom, bye," House said.
"Bye, son," his mom answered.
House sat on his sopa and thought about what his mother just told him for a few moments. Then, as if possessed, he got up, grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from his desk. He scribbled down a note, which he folded and tucked into the inner pocker of his jacket. He then got his keys and cane before heading out the door.
Fifteen minutos later House arrived at Cuddy's house. He felt a chill run down his back as he remembered what happened the last time he went to Cuddy's house.
"No, this time I'm going to ring her doorbell," he told himself. He stood in front of the doorway for a segundo and then rang the doorbell.
Inside the house, Cuddy had just finished tucking in her baby girl again (she was quite a crier) when she heard the doorbell ring. She answered the door and was surprised to find no one there.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid," House mentally chastised himself. "Never again," he told himself, "never again."
"Damn lousy teenage pranksters," Cuddy muttered to herself. She was about to close the door when she noticed a slip of paper underneath a rock, which was presumably there to keep the note from blowing away. She unfolded the piece of paper and couldn't believe her eyes. The message on the paper read:
Because it's Christmas, I just thought you should know that I pag-ibig you.
-Greg House
Cuddy quickly put on a pair of shoes and ran out the door. She managed to catch up to House, who was still limping towards his car.
"House," she called out to him and he turned around to face her. She then pulled him into a kiss.
"Because it's Christmas, I just thought you should know that I pag-ibig you too," she sinabi smiling at him.
*A/N: I tried to stay as true to the characters as possible and make sure the facts that we've been ibingiay on nakaraan episodes match up with what presented. That being said, I did have to take some liberties to stray from the ipakita a little in order to make this fanfic work, but hopefully not too much. If you felt, I've made some factual errors please let me know. Also, please rate and review as this is my first attempt at a Huddy fanfic, thanks.
