"I'm already regretting it," Cuddy shot back at him, a little smirk on her face. She would, too. Even if he was 'cured,' even if everything was perfect, she'd still have occasions to regret ever laying eyes on him. Occasions like when he left his dirty clothes on the bathroom floor or stared at her breasts at work. She'd be happy to have those kinds of regrets, though. She'd be happy if they could get anywhere close to normal again.

She listened to House and Megan talk, the smile lingering on her face. It was reassuring to hear Megan thought he was making progress. She really had no other way to judge how his therapy was going. She knew he'd been down on Saturday and today, well, she'd seen how reluctant he still was to communicate. But Megan said he was improving and Cuddy was willing to believe her. She wanted to believe her.

"You will be a good dad," Cuddy said with confidence. "A weird dad but a good one." She gave him a mischievous look. "And if you want to jump in from the start, there'll be plenty to do. Lots of dirty diapers. Lots of middle of the night feedings.... Well, I guess you won't have to deal with the feedings at first. I'm sure I'll find something else for you to do, though."
