Cameron was standing in front of her wearing only a bra and panties. Thirteen slowly started to kiss her way up her front to get the small glass of alcohol from Cameron’s cleavage. A barely audible moan escaped Cameron’s mouth as Thirteen’s lips touched the glass and downed the liquid. The brunette then started to kiss the blonde, hands moving over her body.
Thirteen woke up shaking in her bed. It was dark, and the only things she could hear were herself breathing and a snore from the other side of the bed. She sat up, looking around. Foreman obviously didn’t notice that she had a bad dream.
It actually wasn’t that bad, Thirteen said to herself before lying back down and going back to sleep.

The next morning, Thirteen walked into the conference room, focusing on the blonde doctor who was visibly arguing with House about something she couldn’t hear. The brunette saw Cameron’s hands dancing through the air, trying to make something understandable for House who was not really paying attention.
Thirteen got herself a cup of coffee and sat down on one of the chairs, still watching her boss and Cameron argue. She doesn’t look that happy, she wondered.
With a sudden “bang” of the door, Cameron was out of House’s office. Thirteen’s eyes widened as she followed the ER doctor with her eyes.
“Thirty-one,” House greeted as soon as he entered the room, “you’re early! And you were ogling Cameron! No, don’t say a thing. You want to hit on her! Oh god, mystery solved!” He hobbled over to get himself a cup of coffee and gave Thirteen, who was looking at him with eyebrows raised, a triumphant grin.
She rolled her eyes and shook her head as the other team members walked in.
“So do we have a case?” Taub asked.
“Uh, no,” House answered, face turned to the coffee machine. “Taub and Kutner, you two to the clinic. Foreman, you stay here. Thirty-one, go help Cameron in the ER,” he ordered and waited for his team to get up and follow his instructions.

When Thirteen walked into the ER, the only thing she saw were some patients waiting for a doctor and the nurses running around.
“Where is Dr. Cameron?” she asked one of the nurses.
“Oh, she said she’d be right back. But she’s already gone for ten minutes now,” the nurse shrugged.
The brunette looked rather concerned as she listened to the nurse’s answer. “I’ll go and search for her,” she informed her and left the ER.
She walked down the hall when she suddenly heard a low sob coming from the on-call room. Curious to find out who was sobbing there, Thirteen slowly opened the door and walked in. The younger doctor quietly closed the door and was met with teary blue eyes. Cameron was looking at her, wondering why she entered the room anyway. The blonde had been watching Thirteen for quite some time now. Every time she saw the brunette, a small smile appeared on Cameron’s face.
“Wha-what are you do-doing h-here?” Cameron asked, her voice shaking.
“Uhh,” Thirteen stuttered. She didn’t know how to deal with that situation. She had been watching Cameron ever since she first walked into that hospital to apply for the job. “I was, you know, searching for you.” Her eyes were locked on the floor, avoiding to look directly into Cameron’s eyes.
The blonde simply nodded to show the other woman that she had heard what she’d said.
“What’s wrong?” Thirteen dared to ask while sitting down next to Cameron to comfort her.
“I-I broke up w-with Chase,” she managed to say through tears. The brunette doctor’s face froze.
“Wh-what?” she first burst out shocked but calmed down rather quickly when she noticed that it didn’t help the situation. She wasn’t any good at this, but she couldn’t just let go. She cared too much for the sobbing blonde next to her.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to. But… why? You were...” Thirteen made a small pause as to think of what to say next. She never was happy about the fact that Cameron was with Chase, but this was not the right moment to show that to the ER doctor. Instead, she finished her sentence with a simple “so cute together”.
A small smile appeared on the doctor’s face as she listened to Thirteen’s words. Cameron noticed that she wasn’t comfortable with this situation. Still, she admired her for at least trying.
“I mean, he just proposed to you and…” Thirteen ran out of words, desperately searching for something to say to actually comfort the other woman.
If she had known that this would just cause Cameron to cry even harder, she would’ve never said it. Looking around for help, the only thing Thirteen could do was pull the blonde into a hug. She wrapped her arms around Cameron, who thankfully leaned into her.
