Deleted Scene One: Cuddy Walks to the Party
She locked the door behind her, using the key she normally left outside, then hurried down the walk, making her way towards the university. Her skirt blew in the wind as she walked faster, and she had to use her hands to keep it from blowing too much. Turning down a side street, she cut behind two of the university's larger buildings, and made her way along a second side street. A few college kids leaned against the side of the building, holding what looked like a case of beer under one arm and a cooler in the other. After a quick internal debate, she stopped besides them.
"It's not my place to yell at you, and I'm not going to." A few of the boys snickered at her, "But there's a bachelor party a block or two away and it's going to be one hundred percent chaos, and well, I have a feeling, since I know the guy who organized it, the police are going to be in the area tonight. So keep your eyes open." She turned away, but they called her back.
"What's your name?" One of the girls asked, "I think I've seen you on campus before, or somewhere in town."
"Lisa, I work at the teaching hospital." She explained, eager to get out of there, and suddenly wishing she hadn't stopped to warn them.
"Oh, you go to school here? I haven't seen you before." One of the boys was gazing openly at her blouse, which she had left partly unbuttoned to annoy House. Or to draw his attention when he was surrounded by other strippers, she wasn't sure which.
"Oh no," Cuddy tried not to laugh, "I work full-time at the hospital, I graduated about twenty years ago."
"Oh," the guy had been trying to flirt with her looked up, "So why are you warning us about the police? Most adults would turn us in, not that we're all underage, but still."
"My nickname through college was 'partypants', my boyfriend gave me that nickname." She smiled at that, knowing full well that House hadn't been her boyfriend, but the thought of him being her boyfriend made her smile. "I couldn't just let you all be caught when you're of age." Cuddy turned on her heel; ignoring the open stares the students were giving her as she rounded the corner, already able to see people making their way towards Wilson's apartment complex.

Deleted Scene Two: Cuddy Nearly Gets Kissed By Chase
Slipping through the crowd, after loosing House, Cuddy looked up, finding herself face-to-face with Chase himself. "Helloooo, Cuddy," he smiled, obviously drunk, at her and thrust a bottle of beer into her hand.
"Hi Chase," she began awkwardly, taking a sip of the beer.
"It's gooooood." Chase finished his bottle and reached for another. "Wanna kiss meeee?" His voice was slightly high-pitched and he puckered his lips, leaning toward her.
"Chase, you're drunk," she pulled the bottle out of his hand, and grabbed a nearby glass of water, which he drank nonetheless. He staggered slightly, falling into the arms of two waiting strippers, who shot identical glares at Cuddy before they kissed his cheeks.

Deleted Scene Three: When Cameron Gets Yelled at by Cuddy
"Cameron!" The whole hospital heard Cuddy yell her name, and whomever was in the lobby turned to watch them. "What the hell where you thinking?"
"I … what…? Wilson told me too!" Her face was already completely red after being cornered in the lobby, and it was getting redder by the minute.
"And you listened to him because…?"
"Because he told me that you and House didn't care!"
"Well, I don't know about House, but I care if the whole hospital knows that we're dating."
"But Wilson said that you didn't."
"It doesn't matter what Wilson said! You should have asked me or House if it was okay if you went and told the whole world about us!"
"But we would have found out eventually."
"Exactly! Eventually! That would mean when House or I wanted to tell everyone, not when Allison Cameron wanted to."
"Why can't you just drop it? It's not like …"
"The whole hospital has had bets on House and I getting together since the day I hired him. I'd rather not have people making those bets."
"There's no way you can stop it anyways."
"I wasn't planning too, I just would prefer if House and I told people when we were ready to."
"Lise," House stood by the door to the clinic, Wilson as his side, both of them muffling their laughter, "chill out."
"I can't believe you!" Cuddy turned her attention back to Cameron, ignoring House completely.
"What?" Cameron shot back.
"I didn't tell anyone about you and Chase when you two started dating, then House and I start dating and it's all over the hospital in a few hours. Next time, I'll …" she stopped as House grabbed her by the waist and kissed her passionately, wrapping his arms around her. He held her against him for a few moments, allowing their lips to move against each other's before he pulled away.
"Drop it Lise," he whispered, resting his forehead against hers, smiling slightly at her blush. "It's okay." He kissed her again, grinning to himself as she wrapped her arms around his neck and held him to her.
Most of the interns began clapping, ignoring the rather visible blush on Cuddy's cheeks as House held her in his arms. Cameron was grinning from ear-to-ear, her face triumphant as a few more bets were fulfilled around the room. Wilson was frowning slightly, his glare directed at Chase, as he entered the room. After a few moments, House let go of Cuddy and called out to everyone else in the room, "You can go back to doing your job now."
"That means you too," Cuddy stretched up on her toes, whispering in his ear, "I'm expecting you to do your clinic duty for the next week or else you'll be sleeping on the couch for the next month."

Deleted Scene Four: House and Cuddy Find Out Some New Information
Set Two Months After Chase's Bachelor Party …
Cuddy paced the room, her eyes red from crying, twisting the towel House had given her in her hands. She sank onto the bed, allowing herself to be enfolded his arms and for him to run his fingers through her hair. After a few moments, she sighed contentedly and looked into his eyes.
"I promise you," House whispered, his lips resting on her forehead, "I won't leave you Lise, it's all going to be okay." She nodded, wiping her eyes a bit with the kitchen towel.
"But what are people at the hospital going to say?"
"Why do you care right now? I love you and that's all that matters," he kissed her forehead, one hand dropping to her stomach, "I'll take care of both of you if it's the last thing I do."
"Really?" Cuddy looked up, pure adoration and love shinning in her eyes, "I love you so much." She snuggled into his arms as he pulled her into the bed with him. House pulled the blankets over them and they snuggled under the covers, arms around each other. One of his hands still rested on her stomach while the other was wrapped around her shoulders. She lay on her side, curled against him, her head resting on his chest.
"I love you too Lise," he patted her stomach, "And you baby House."
