You make a good point for the contrast in House's attitude towards Cuddy's baby dreams between S2 and S5. I hated the baby arc in S5 for reasons I couldn't pinpoint at the time, but certainly both parties' behaviour was way below high school maturity level.
I'll admit to a couple "aww, cute" reactions to House and Rachel's interactions in s7 Possibly the end of 'Carrot and Stick', although I'll qualify far that insofar as that all incentive came from Rachel. Their interaction in Cuddy's car in 'After Hours' qualifies, but at that point Rachel wasn't competition anymore because House knew he'd lost Cuddy.
Pete knows that Rachel isn't something standing in the way, she's a part of the equation of whatever relationship he and Cuddy will choose to have. Yes, exactly. It may always be hard for him to accept his role in Rachel's disability, but I think there is no easy resolution to that kind of a moral dilemna.
