SUMMARY; After 4 years since leaving PPTH. The team has had countless replacements but none have been good enough to work with other than her. Cameron’s asked to return to her job, but how will her coming back change the relationship between her and House? H/C
Wilson pulled up and House got into the car.
‘So where are we going?’
‘The hospital’
‘Why-?’
‘Just drive, I’ll tell you along the way’
They were half was there and Wilson broke the silence.
‘ So are you gonna tell me why you pulled me out of my home, leaving a very angry and upset wife you to the hospital?
‘Cameron left some luggage apparently’
‘Yeah…and that makes up for this because?’
House looked out the window.
‘I was thinking that I should give it a try’
Wilson was dumbfounded.
‘Wait, have you been drinking?’
‘No’
‘Well hang on, Cameron’s not at the hospital’
‘Her luggage is’
‘I thought you wanted to pick up Cameron’
‘I do’
‘So why are we going to the- Ooh!’
‘Smart Jimmy’
‘Do you know where she’s staying?’
‘Ye-up’
----------------------------------
Wilson parked the car not too far away from the entrance of the hospital.
The two got out of the car and headed inside.
A new nurse was taking her shift at the reception desk.
‘Hi’
‘Hey, Umm, we’re here to pick up some bags for Dr Cameron’
‘Oh’
The nurse smiled ‘you must be Doctor House’.
It was obvious that the lady had been let in on some gossip.
‘Right this way’
House and Wilson followed the lady to the room in which Cameron bags were kept.
‘How much did this girl pack?’
Wilson scratched his head. ‘Well let’s get them out of here’
House swung one around a shoulder and carried another while his friend rolled out a large suitcase and carry bag.
‘All set?’
House nodded and turned to the nurse.
‘Thanks’
----------------------------------------------------
The bags were put into Wilson’s trunk. They could barely fit.
‘Your serious about this right?’
‘Course, what do you think we’re doing with a trunk full of bags if I wasn’t?’
‘Okay, well this is it- I’ll wait here for you’
Wilson pulled into a car space and unlocked the doors.
‘Good luck House’
He watched his friend head for Cameron’s room.
With every limp, he felt more and more nervous.
Did he really want to do this?
--------------------------------------------
Ellie was asleep next to her mother who was watching television.
Another long day it had been for Cameron.
She flicked through the channels. There wasn’t anything good on.
10:24pm it read on the clock.
Allison yawned and turned off the TV and then the lights tucking herself in closer to Ellie.
She closed her eyes and relaxed.
Three taps suddenly sounded at the door.
Her eyes sprung open in the darkness.
Who on earth would want to find me at this time?
Hoping that the person had got the wrong room and would move on, she closed her eyes again and tried to sleep.
The knocks sounded again. They tapped repeatedly.
House.
She didn’t need to think twice. The knocking was too familiar to her ears.
Rolling over to her left, she turned on the lamp. Fortunately Ellie hadn’t been woken by the noise.
Tip toeing to the door, careful not to wake her daughter; Allison started to shiver from the cold.
‘What do you want?’
The door opened and Cameron caught House with his cane in hand just about to tap the door again.
He stared at her.
She looked so beautiful; her hair was down, hanging over her shoulders. Her top fitted nicely on her. It wasn’t too tight nor was it too baggy.
House could see that Cameron was tired. Her eyes showed a certain vulnerability, but he wasn’t going to take advantage of it. At that moment he wanted nothing more that to just have her go home with him.
Allison stood, lips pursed and waiting for his response.
‘I want you to come and stay with me’
‘You already told me you didn’t’
‘I changed my mind’
‘You can’t keep changing your mind just when it suites you’
‘I’m sorry- I just …’
He looked at her. Her face had the expression that she didn’t care about what he had to say. Therefore he just gave up.
‘Do you at least want your bags? I got Wilson to help me bring them’
Her luggage. She knew she had forgotten something. So he was really thinking about this. He had actually gone and collected her bags.
Allison sighed.
‘House come in. I’m sure Wilson won’t mind waiting.’
He came inside.
Cameron closed the door and went to pull a chair for House.
He sat down and she sat gently onto the bed, trying not to cause any strong movements so that Ellie would remain asleep.
House saw his daughter lying peacefully in bed. She looked so perfect, just like her mother. He felt a strong sense of protectiveness over her, like he didn’t want anything to harm her.
It was so hard to believe that he had dared make her cry. She was so innocent.
Allison caught him looking at their daughter.
‘You’ve never seen a child sleep before?’
House snapped back wanting to make a witty response but managed to just stop in his tracks. He wasn’t going to mess this up.
Cameron still didn’t look too impressed that he had shown up.
‘I hope I didn’t disturb you’
‘House its 10:30, and I have work tomorrow’
‘I guess that was the wrong thing to say’ he thought.
There was an awkward moment that hung in the air.
‘Come and stay with me’
‘I still don’t get it House. You were so uptight about Ellie and now you’re okay with everything?’
‘It was just hard for me to take this in. Its been four years Cameron’
He raised his voice a little too loud. ‘Sorry’
‘What’s made you reconsider?’
‘You’
‘I’ve hardly talked to you within the past two days without ending in an argument. You is just not a good enough answer for me’
He felt like he was losing this and decided to throw a little more that what he usually would.
‘Cameron please. I want to have another chance’
‘I was always the one chasing you House’
‘Things are different now’
‘You think you can be a good father?’
‘ I am not father material Cameron, you know that’
Allison looked over at Ellie.
‘She loves you’
He didn’t say anything.
‘If your planning on doing this for me- don’t. Do it for Ellie’
House nodded.
She stopped and considered what House had said.
‘Its getting late, I’m sure Wilson wants to go home and I’m not in the mood to tow heavy bags at midnight. How about first thing tomorrow morning before work’
‘Tomorrow? So you’re moving in?’ he looked at her hopefully.
Allison nodded tiredly.
‘I think you best get Wilson to drive you home tonight- I can be ready by 6 o’clock tomorrow and we can get everything to your place’
‘Okay then’
House got up, followed by Allison to open the door for him.
‘Good night’
‘Night’
She closed the doors and smiled to herself.
-------------------------------------
5 minutes later, just as she had gotten out of the bathroom and was ready to slip herself into bed again she heard knocking again at the door.
Allison rolled her eyes and went to open it.
House stood looking slightly embarrassed.
‘Did you forget something?’
‘No’
‘Oh- right so…’
‘I was wondering if it would be okay if I stayed the night- here’
‘What about Wilson?’
‘I told him to go home’
‘Heh- well there’s not much of a choice then is there?’
‘I can call a cab’
Allison looked at House and sighed.
‘.. No- ‘
She moved a little to let him come in.
‘Ellie and I are sharing a bed’
‘That’s alright I can sleep on the floor’
‘House don’t be silly, it’s too uncomfortable for you’
He removed his jacket and put it over the chair.
‘I’ll be fine, if not I’ll just sleep on the chair’
‘Alright then’
House made himself comfortable as Allison turned off the light and slipped into the bed.
Seconds later she turned it back on and sat up.
‘House… just sleep with us, there’s room’
He and Cameron shared a long stare. His blue eyes bright and glossy observing her greenish blue ones.
They were both extremely tired and he knew it would be better for his leg.
House got up and limped over to one side of the bed. Allison shifted Ellie a little closer to her so that she was lying in between them.
He lay down slowly, cautious of the toddler.
Cameron looked at him and gave the tiniest smile, turning once more to switch off the light.
‘Good night House’
She drifted to sleep almost immediately.
‘Good Night’
He carefully moved a little closer to Cameron, the space between them in which Ellie was sleeping narrowed.
It was okay though because the little girl was only small. She twitched a bit as her father moved but then settled down.
House stared blankly at the ceiling.
He felt -right. He didn’t need to touch Cameron or kiss her or hug her, he just needed to know that she and his daughter were with him, their warmth surrounding him. He didn’t feel annoyed or angry; instead he felt that he was actually going to have a good night sleep.
Looking over to where Ellie was beside him, a small outline of her little figure could be seen as the moonlight fell through the window into their room.
House moved his hand up and stroked her hair. It felt so soft and delicate. He could smell her baby scent.
‘Good night Ellie’ he whispered.
He moved his hand back down and put in under his pillow as he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
