A House M.D. Fan Fiction

Pairing: Cameron/Thirteen, Cuddy/Carrie (Own character)

Title: Opportunities

"Remy! God, don't you know you're supposed to put the thing in first before you put the other thing! Geez!"

Remy burst out laughing at her little cooking mistake and let her best friend take over the pot of pasta. Carrie smacked Remy on the arm playfully, causing the brunette to spill some of her champagne on the kitchen floor.

"Go to the living room, and STAY there before you burn my kitchen down…" Carrie pushed Remy with both hands before turning her attention back to the stove.

Remy giggled and sipped her champagne. She couldn't remember how much she enjoyed the company of her best friend. She was so busy at the hospital, it was rare to have a nice relaxing Friday night off to be with friends, or well, one great friend.

The young doctor set her champagne glass on the coffee table before letting her body fall and sink into the comfortable living room sofa. She sighed and switched the television on, flipping the channel to a medical drama series.

Soon, Carrie brought two plates of steak and pasta in and set them on the coffee table. Handing her brunette friend her utensils, she fell back onto the sofa, set her plate on her lap and started digging in hungrily.

"Stop being a pig!" Remy smirked and began cutting into her steak.

"Why are we watching this crap by the way…" Carrie ignored the pig comment and flipped the channel to Judge Judy.

Remy rolled her eyes. Carrie was in fact, a lawyer. The two friends often mocked each other's professions; lawyers are boring, doctors are oh so dramatic.

"So my dearest bisexual friend, how's work?" Carrie grinned. She didn't actually mean work work and Remy knew it.

"Shhh… Judge Judy is REALLY interesting today." The brunette replied, widening her eyes with sarcasm.

Carrie snatched the remote and flipped the television off. "No, I think a certain female doctor is more interesting…" She smiled cheekily at her friend who said nothing and continued to eat her pasta.

Carrie frowned, "Don't make me snatch your plate away." She warned and smirked when Remy turned her head and flashed her an annoyed look.

"Tell me you've asked her out already?"

Remy shook her head lightly and took a bite of her steak.

"Tell me you've flirted with her?"

Remy frowned lightly for a second before stuffing her mouth with pasta.

"Tell me… you've at least had one decent conversation with her?!"

Remy shrugged her shoulders and continued to chew. Carrie pursed her lips in annoyance and reached out to snatch the plate away, unfortunately losing to Remy's fast reflexes. Carrie crossed her arms and continued staring at her friend. The doctor swallowed and smiled nonchalantly with her eyes wide.

"Bitch." Carrie sighed and returned to her own plate. The red-head switched the television back on and ate in silence.

"She's straight…" Remy stated after a few minutes.

"So what!? I'm straight but we've done everything except slept with each other."

Remy chuckled, "You're different, I've known you for eons, plus I think you're a closet bisexual!"

"So maybe she is one too!"

"So you admit you're a closet bisexual?"

"Ye- no! I mean, I don't know but this isn't about… me! It's about Allison Cameron! So quit digressing!"

Remy chuckled and sighed. She indeed had a crush on the blonde doctor. A crush that developed the first time Remy laid eyes on her. A crush that made her not herself when she was around the ER doctor. A crush that made her afraid that the blush on her cheeks was going to give her away instantly.

"Is she working tonight?" Carrie broke the brunette's thoughts.

"Most probably…" Remy shrugged before snapping her eyes at her friend who was in deep thought. "Whyyy?" She asked suspiciously, not sure if she wanted to know the answer.

"Huh? No… nothing, just curious… who works on a Friday night, seriously…" Carrie waved away Remy's suspicion before heading to the kitchen with her plate. Remy's eyes followed Carrie curiously as she disappeared into the kitchen.

Remy continued eating. She was just about the finish up her dinner when she suddenly heard a loud scream followed by a loud sound of glass crashing. Remy jumped up from the sofa.

"Carrie!? Are you okay?" She said as she ran to the kitchen.

"Urgh, not really… I think the glass cut my foot" Carrie bent down and clutched her leg in pain.

"Oh god, it's okay, I'm here…" Remy tiptoed over the mess to her friend's side to examine the cut. "Oh Carrie, it's a pretty deep cut! Do you have a first aid kid or something?" Remy looked around the kitchen.

"No, don't think I keep one. God this really hurts, Rem!" The lawyer whined.

"Okay okay don't panic, we gotta get this stitched up." Remy took a piece of paper towel, drenched it with water and pressed it down on the wound. "Okay, hold it there and come on… here put your other arm here."

Remy guided Carrie slowly out of the kitchen. She grabbed her purse and car keys on the way out of the house.

----------------------***********************------------------------

The ER at Princeton Plainsboro was unusually quiet that night. It was probably still early and all the drum drunks hadn't gotten into trouble yet. Remy held her friend up as she hobbled to one of the ER beds.

Cameron, who was sitting behind the desk doing paper work, caught sight of the brunette helping her friend and walked over.

"Okay, you stay here, I'll go get some stuff to sew you up." Remy instructed her friend before turning around and almost bumping into the blonde doctor.

"Sorry! H- Hey…Cam…" Remy smiled and greeted the doctor who was taken aback by the taller doctor's smile. She had only witnessed the brunette smile less than a handful of times.

"Dr. Hadley." Cameron greeted and smiled back. "You stay here, you're not working tonight, let me sew her up." She raised her hand to stop the brunette before moving to Carrie's side.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Cameron." Cameron greeted the patient.

"I know." Carrie said without thinking. Remy flashed her a menacing look behind the blonde doctor's back.

"You know?" Cameron raised her eyebrow at the red-head.

"It's Dr. Cameron unless you're wearing the wrong name tag." Carrie covered up and pointed to Cameron's chest.

"Oh! Right… I forgot I had that." Cameron chuckled, looking down at the white tag while Remy shut her eyes with relief.

Cameron bent down to intently examine Carrie's foot. The red-head looked at Remy and pointed to Cameron with her eyes.

"SAY SOMETHING" The lawyer mouthed.

Remy cleared her throat nervously, "How is she?" the brunette asked.

"She should be fine once I take these shards of glass out and wrap her up…" Cameron said, not taking her eyes off the open wound. Remy nodded silently and looked up at her friend who rolled her eyes.

"So, Dr. Cameron, why are you working on a Friday night, you know, instead of dating?" Carrie straightforwardly asked, making Remy widen her eyes.

"Well, firstly, the ER needed a doctor tonight and secondly, I'm single." Cameron said as she carefully pulled a bit of glass out of Cassie's foot.

"What about Ch…" Remy blurted out but managed to stop herself, or so she thought.

"Chase and I broke up a few weeks ago…" Cameron smiled sadly.

"Sorry." Remy blushed and apologised.

"No it's okay… it's not your fault." The blonde chuckled, "I'm better off without him anyway."

Carrie looked at Remy and signalled for her to ask the older doctor out.

"I'm gonna go to the ladies'… be right back." Remy simply stated and smirked at her friend's annoyance before leaving the ER.

Carrie sighed heavily and crossed her arms.

"You guys… had a fight or something?" Cameron said, looking at Carrie and gesturing to her foot.

"Hmm?" Carrie asked, confused.

"I assumed you guys… had a couple's fight and…"

"Oh no no, we're not…" Carrie chuckled "… we're not a couple. Remy's my best friend… since high school."

"Oh?" Cameron said, a little surprised.

"Yeah, I know, Remy doesn't seem the type who has friends huh… let alone best friends…" Carrie chuckled.

"No… it's not that… well, I mean yeah but… I guess I don't know her well enough to know what goes on outside her working life…"

"Well maybe you should get to know her… I'm sure she'd love to get to know you better too." Carrie smiled genuinely at Cameron who was about to say something when the sound of the doors to the ER opening distracted both of them.

"Cuddy? Why are you still here?" Cameron said, concerned.

"I was just about to leave actually, had a lot of paperwork to do. You're gonna be okay?"

"Yeap, I should be fine, Friday night is only the best night for drunks and maniacs." Cameron said, sarcasm dripping from her words, as she pulled out a bigger piece of shard from Carrie's foot.

"MOTHERFFff…" Carrie shut her eyes and held her breath. Cameron smiled a sympathetic smile at the red-head.

"And this screamer is Remy's best friend."

Carrie breathed out, and waved at Cuddy, "Hi."

"Hi, nice to meet you… Where is Dr. Hadley anyway?"

"Over here…" A voice from behind Cuddy said. "Dr. Cuddy." Remy greeted.

"You can call me Lisa, since you're not working right now." Cuddy smiled warmly.

"That's a nice name." Carrie blurted causing everyone to look up at her.

"Thank you… I'm sorry, I didn't catch yours." Cuddy smiled, she was always friendly.

"It's Carrie. You know like… the horror movie where the girl just murders everyone by locking them up and setting them on fir-"

"Stop! I'm sorry, please… stop… I hate horror movies." Cameron raised a hand and cut off Carrie, exaggerating a shiver as she did. Remy smiled to herself.

Cuddy just chuckled and said, "I liked that movie a lot, one of my all time favourites. Anyway, I'd love to stay and chat but I have to rush to a dinner appointment. See you guys, nice meeting you again, Carrie." Cuddy smiled at Carrie before turning to leave.

"Nice meeting you too, Lisa." Carrie added as the two doctors said their goodbyes.

"Okay, now I just have to wrap you up and you're done!" Cameron said as she grabbed a roll of bandage and began bandaging Carrie's foot.

Remy sat down on the bed next to Carrie's, behind the blonde, and proceeded to lie down. The blonde glanced over her shoulder at the brunette and smiled.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm good." Remy said, staring at the ceiling.

"You sure you didn't get any of the glass shards in you? I can check if you want." Cameron said, smiling with concern.

"I don't think I feel any pain anywhere on my feet… I should be fine. Thanks." Remy smiled, tapping her feet in the air.

"Okay, if it's anything I'm sure you can handle it yourself anyway." Cameron grinned.

Carrie had to calm herself down and not blow at Remy for missing an opportunity.

"And you're done!" Cameron said as she fastened the bandage with tape. "Walking shouldn't be a problem…"

"Great. Thank you so much." Carrie hopped off the bed and grabbed her shoes.

"I'll take care of her." Remy said as she walked over to Carrie's side.

"Good. I'll see you Monday then."

"Yeah, see you Monday." Remy said as she helped Carrie hop out of the ER.

"Bye! Thanks!" Carrie waved at the blonde doctor who smiled after them.

------------------------************************----------------------------

"You know, for a serial womanizer, you're not very smooth when it comes to girls you are REALLY interested in." Carrie sighed as she sunk into the seat of the car.

"Whatever." Remy said, annoyed by herself; she didn't want Carrie to rub it in.

"Though, I think she might be interested in you…" Carrie, sensing Remy's annoyance, tried to comfort her.

Remy chuckled coldly and shook her head, "You shouldn't give me false hope you know… it's fucking cruel."

"I'm not! I really think she's interested, from the way she glanced at you and stuff. It's fine if you don't wanna fucking believe me!" Carrie raised her voice a little and crossed her arms, agitated. An awkward silence filled the air in the car.

"I'm sorry. I just… I don't know… I like her… I like her too much to blow this." Remy sighed, watching the road in front.

"Look, take it slowly okay… go with the flow… and you will glow… okay I made the glow part up, but that's beside the point… just get to know her slowly okay?"

"Okay." Remy nodded confidently.

"And now that I've given you such awesome advice… you owe me one." Carrie grinned.

"What the hell do you want?" Remy smirked.

"I want… Cuddy."

The moment Carrie uttered those words, Remy swerved the car to the left and screeched to a halt, the inertia sending them flying forward only to be pulled back by their seat belts. Remy's eyes were wide open, looking at Carrie.

"WHAT THE FUCK, REMY!?"

"Please tell me you were kidding…" Remy was almost pleading.

"Why? She's smart, hot and she loves Carrie." Carrie grinned widely.

"AND she's my BOSS'S BOSS!"

"Yeah that's good! You can set me up with her!"

Remy threw her hands up in disbelief.

"What?!" Carrie asked, she really didn't think she was in any wrong.

Remy breathed out heavily to calm herself down.

"First of all… you ARE a closet bisexual…" Carrie shrugged at the statement. "Secondly… it's too complicated! I'm not setting you up! Ever!" Remy started moving the car again, hoping to end the conversation.

"Hey! After all I went through to get you to the ER tonight?!" Carrie covered her mouth with both hands after realising what she had just blurted out.

Remy jammed break again and turned her head to face her friend with her jaw hanging open.

"You what?" Remy managed to choke out.

Carrie responded by shaking her head, her hands still covering her mouth.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! GETTING CUT UP LIKE THAT SO THAT YOU COULD GET ME TO TALK TO CAMERON?! YOU ARE… GOD YOU ARE PSYCHOTIC!" Remy threw her hands up again and shook her head in disbelief.

"Hey that's what friends are for…" Carrie grinned after dropping her hands to her lap.

"This isn't funny… I'm gonna bring you to a psychiatrist first thing tomorrow morning…" Remy started the car up for the second time as Carrie rolled her eyes. The two friends sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Thanks." Remy finally broke the silence and Carrie chuckled.

"So you'll set me up with Cuddy?" Carrie asked hopefully.

Remy sighed, "I'll think about it."

"Yes you better." Carrie grinned as Remy drove them home.
