Author's Note: Takes place after all my other Cuddy/Phyllis one. Is set sometime in the future and contains spoilers for Y&R and also a bit for House. Also, the title is taken from the title of a Reba McEntire song, which does not belong to me. Cross-posted to my journal.


She had decided on the trip to the new spa on a whim. She deserved it after all she put up with from House, she reasoned. So she’d taken the extra money she’d been saving for (baby things) something special and decided to treat herself to at day at NVP Retreats.

She had gasped out loud when she caught sight of the redhead laughing behind the counter as she entered.

“Phyllis.” She was amazed at the waves of emotion that hit her when that one word slipped off her tongue.

“Lisa!” And then Phyllis was hugging her tight and she was fighting tears (damn hormone therapy).

Phyllis squeezed her hand (all she could see was her naked in the hotel bed) and then tugged her into the back room. “There’s someone you’ve gotta meet. Well, three someones actually.”

And she knew before she ever saw them.

“Lise, this is my husband Nick, and my son Daniel, and my daughter Summer.” Phyllis was in her glory with them. The perfect little family.

She’d gotten her son back and now had a gorgeous husband and an adorable daughter, and as much as she tried to fight it, a tiny part of her hated (and still wanted) Phyllis.

So she hugged her again and quickly left the back room, saying she didn’t want to be late for her massage. And she squeezed her eyes shut tight against the pinpricks, and hated how she still imagined the hands on her back to be Phyllis’.
