Someday, Somehow

Chapter 1

Old Friends, Ex Lovers and New Beginnings

Gregory House sat quietly in his office re-reading the new immunology article by Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Head of Allergy & Immunology, Allison Cameron. He would never openly admit how proud he was when she got that job or that he had made sure that she was selected as a candidate, he knew she would hate if she found out she only got the job because of him but he also knew that he wouldn't need to do that, anybody who came across her resume would definitely hire her. Graduated high school top of her class and top 10% of the country as well as honours when she graduated college and med school. It was very impressive considering the death of her husband; add an internship at the mayo clinic, a 3-year fellowship under one of the best doctors in the country, 3 years as Head of the ER and even some experience as Dean of Medicine she was a sure thing for any job she applied for and she was 34.

House was lost in thought when a certain blonde Australian rushed into the room and he clumsily hid the medical journal. No need for an annoying wombat to be asking why he was reading the article of somebody he practically drove away from all of her friends and her husband, even her work.

"What happened? Kill the patient and come running to daddy? Sorry even I'm not that good." He said in his anything but unusual sarcastic tone.

"Linda is stable and getting prepped for a MRI. Listen House I just got off the phone with Libby, something's happened." The urgency was clear in Chase's voice but house could not yet see any reason to care.

"Things happen all the time and who the hell is Libby?"

"Libby Cameron, she's Allison's sister she said, ah, she said that Cameron's in the hospital she, she wouldn't say what happened," Chase was visibly worried, eyes brimming with tears but even a 11 month relationship with Cuddy couldn't stop House from being House.

"So what, you think the bid bad wolf will call up and scare them into telling them she what? Broke her arm, she slipped in the tub? What makes you think I care?" Truthfully House was interested and maybe slightly worried but he wasn't truthful very often at least not about his own feelings.

"If it was up to me I wouldn't be telling you a thing but it's not up to me, you're her medical proxy," the great Greg House was shocked actually shocked, it didn't happen often and when it did it was only a flash of emotion which he quickly recovered from.

" I'm going out on a limb here and I'm going to say that those forms have a few girly G's"

"She's in the hospital House, hurt, sick, dying, I don't know and that all you care about, she forged your signature on the proxy forms? She trusted you to do the right thing if it came down to it, God knows why! You'll never change, you're still the same selfish bastard you were 8 years ago!" Chase stormed out of the office in a fury leaving House alone in his office

House walked into his apartment at around 1:00 in the morning and saw the light in his bedroom on so he knew that Cuddy was there. He had gotten an earful from Wilson, Foreman and even Thirteen about what he should do about Cameron but he hadn't yet had a chance to discuss it with Cuddy nor did he want to.

"You're late," she greeted.

"Sorry the patient went into respiratory distress, had to solve it before she walked towards the light, Taub wasn't convincing enough."

"It's fine I just wanted to talk but it's late now."

"Talk about what?" house inquired.

"You know what House, you're not even the least bit curious as to what's going on with Cameron in Chicago?"

"Of course I am I just, I, I don't – "

"I think you should go and see her, at least talk to her," Cuddy said.

"Wha? Really?" House replied surprised at her suggestion.

"Greg I love you but I know that she means something to you even if you refuse to admit it, I've seen all the articles in you desk hidden away like a porn stash, everybody see's the way you look at each other. There has always been something between you. Greg we've been friends half our lives, we both deserve happiness maybe we just thought that it was with each other because we were to scared to actually take the risk.

"Lisa I'm – " He began

"Greg don't apologise or deny this or whatever you're going to do. I will always be there for you but if even a small part of you thinks you even remotely feel anything for her go because I pulled so string and Cameron isn't in the hospital because of some freak everyday accident. She was admitted for self harm."

"She what?"

"I don't know the full story that's all her sister would tell me but House she's in a bad way, it looks like she's been cutting for I while now, she needs somebody who has been through it, somebody who she cares about." Cuddy was trying to convince him but it was harder that she thought it would be, he just couldn't get that last conversation with her out of his head. I was in love you, I was an idiot, I tried to understand you because I thought I could heal you.

"She doesn't care about me anymore. I made sure to ruin any chance of that."

"This is Cameron were talking about, do you really believe that she hates you, Chase murdered a man and she doesn't even hate him."

House just stood there for a while, he didn't know how long but he knew what he needed to do. He walked over to Cuddy and place a kiss on her lips. It was slow ans bittersweet, they broke apart and he looked deep into her eyes, they were a bluish-green but they weren't as green as Cameron's.

"I'll book you a flight out in the morning."

"Thank you Lisa."

A/N: So I'm trying out a Hameron Fic because I absolutely love them! I Gave Huddy a nice sweet ending because I actually do like them I just prefer House with Cameron and Cuddy with Wilson. I do however absolutely hate Chase and Cameron so I may consider some chase bashing in the future but I'm not sure.
