Mother's day

By Jess S

Cameron could feel the sun on her face. She was in a kind of half awake, half asleep state lying in the bed under the covers. She reached out to the other side of the king size bed, but she didn't find what she was looking for. The space beside her was cold. And she knew that he was probably already showered and was sitting on the coach watching his show.

Suddenly she heard a loud noise of some sort coming from the kitchen. What was that? She thought. Cameron got up from bed and looked around for her bathrobe, so that she could cover her naked body. She quickly ran into the bathroom to see if it was there, but she couldn't find it, and then she spotted one of House's t-shirt's lying on the floor. She grabbed it and pulled it over her head.

Cameron then ran as fast as she could down the stairs to the kitchen. Then she saw them. It put a huge smile to her face.

House was holding a pan in his hand and was deeply concentrated on making pancakes. Their little brown haired five-year-old girl was sitting on the counter. She had her hands in a bowl that seemed to contain flour. And then there was their oldest child, an eight-year-old blue eye who was watching his father make the pancakes. He looked so amazed and happy. He had grown so fast that Cameron sometimes couldn't believe it.

It seemed as if none of them noticed that she was watching them and she didn't really mind. She could get used to this. But Cameron knew from the look of House's face that she would have to snap out of it and get him some painkillers right away.

"What is going on?" She asked referring to the kitchen mess. She couldn't remember when was the last time she found the kids and House cooking. Actually on second thought they never cooked.

"Well, well, good afternoon to you too." House looked at her. She then noticed that he had a little bit of flour on his left cheek.

"You do realise that it is late afternoon missy," He asked joking.

"House, what is going on? She asked again while trying to get the flower of his cheek.

"That is for me to know and for you to wonder". He once again turned his attention to the stove and his waffles.

He had noticed that her hair was curled into loose waves. He loved it when she hair was curly.

"I was finishing up my clinic charts" She suddenly said. He looked at her, wondering what she was talking about. "That is the reason why I was so late to bed last night and that is the reason why I am up so late today". She explained.

"That is a dangerous thing too do, then Cuddy gets all happy about you doing your job. And thrust me, none of us want to see Cuddy happy". He said. "She can be a real pain in the.." He suddenly realised the children were there. "Well, you know what I am talking about" He waved his hands in the air.

"Mommy, look, I am making pancakes". The little girl named joy said.

"Yeah, I see that". She then looked at House. "Why are my children covered in flour" She was once again looking for answers as to why House was in the kitchen and making pancakes. This was definitely once in a lifetime thing to see.

"These little people were so eager to be fed, and they just couldn't wait for their mother to get up. That is why my dear wifey I am standing here making pancakes."

Cameron raised her eyebrows and nodded her head. "And there is no other reason as to why you are doing this?" The little boy named Ethan giggled, as did the little girl, Joy.

She noticed that House was looking at them in an odd way, while his pointing finger covered his mouth.

She decided to not push it. Whatever it was she would find out sooner or later.

"I am going to take a shower, okay?" She looked at House. He just nodded while limping over to the little boy and taking the spoon away from him.

"I know you are up to something" She said to House and went upstairs to shower.

After she finished her shower she went downstairs again. The kitchen was not that bad, and at least Ethan and Joy were eating. However by the looks of their face the pancakes were not very good.

"Where is your father?" she asked although knowing the answer. Joy confirmed it all when she said that her daddy had left for work.

This was starting to become a routine for them as a family now. Although they still had their shares of fights and troubles, House and Cameron were actually starting to appear as a functional family. Cameron, to this day, couldn't believe that House had managed to change so much. Not only himself, but also her soul. He would never let the people forget the House they all know, but he seemed to be a happier person. Although he didn't show that side to that many people.

Cameron remembered one of their dates. The one where he had told her that she didn't love but she needed. That she was just looking for a new charity case. He listed a bunch of reasons as to why she couldn't possibly love him. He was twice her age; he wasn't great looking, or charming. He also told her that he didn't consider himself as a nice person. In a way he was right. Okay so he maybe he was twice her age and not very nice to other people. He was, still is, great looking, that's for sure. When he told her that she needed he was right. She did need someone to love and someone that she could thrust as well as spend her life with. She still does and she likes to believe that she has found that in him.

House told her once that she wasn't the only one who needed, he felt sometimes the same way. But when she would try to bring it up again he would just change the subject. So they never really talked about it again.

A few years ago, just as Cameron was finishing her clinic hours House came up to her and asked out. Just like that. She figured it had something to do with her soon leaving and therefore he would want to take a great opportunity to crush her once again. After a lot of convincing from Wilson, she said yes. Oddly, she had actually enjoyed herself that night. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depends on how you look at it, she and House and managed to get drunk and lived the dream they so often dreamt about each other.

So nights after nights they kept on seeing each other and after a while, they fell in love. Cameron couldn't believe it when House had told her that he had feelings for her. She just stood there for about five minutes not knowing what to say. Then she told him that she felt the same way and the next thing she knew they had gotten married.

"Mommy, the pancakes are getting cold" Ethan said. "Yeah, mommy, eat this horrible food" Joy said.

Cameron looked at her " You have been listening to your father way to much". Cameron knew that House tried his best to keep his comments to himself when he was around the children. But somehow when the comments came out, he would look at her with an innocent face expression and say "It just slipped". This happened a lot around Foreman and Chase as well as with Wilson and Cuddy. Especially around Cuddy.

The day had gone by very fast by and Cameron was done cleaning the kitchen and now she just wanted to relax on the couch with a good book.

"Oh my pretty wife, where are you? House yelled from the hallway. Cameron got up and smiled at him.

"You do realise that it is almost eight O'clock and the kids are sleeping". This was her way of teasing him, by pretending to be serious and mad. But she didn't last long as he leaned on his cane and tickled her with his other hand.

Cameron managed to escape from his tickling and sat on the couch once again. He walked beside her and while walking towards their bedroom, he said "Want to join your hubby in the bedroom?". She looked at him and shrugged. She then got up which put a smirk on his face.

When she had managed to get her cute little but, as House was fond of calling it, up to their bedroom, Cameron found House sitting on the bed with something in his hands. It looked like a present.

"What are you doing" She asked "And what are you hiding?"

He chuckled. "Wow, aren't we curies today". Cameron smiled. House had a though time admitting it, but he always loved it when she would smile. She had some sort of power; it was enough to light up an entire room. That was the reason why he devotes so much of his time to make her smile.

House looked at the spot next to him on the bed. "Are you just going to stand there?". "Come and sit next to me and take vicodin with you".

Cameron took the bottle, which contained vicodin from the shelf near the door, and sat down on the bed next to him. She handed him the painkillers and some water, which was lying on the nightstand. He swallowed two vicodin, but his other hand was still covering something.

"What is that?" She pointed at his hand. "What are you hiding?"

He uncovered some sort of present. She looked at it curies as to what he was up too. "Here, take a look at it". House gave it to Cameron.

She opened it and saw a necklace. It was the same one that she showed to Foreman and said that she would want to buy it.

"Foreman told me and plus you have been staring at that necklace every time we passed by the store." He told her. She smiled and said "Thank you".

House leaned on his cane and got up from bed. "Come on" He waved his hand, as a way to show her that she should follow him.

She got up and walked behind him as he went down to Ethan and Joy's bedroom. He was about to open the door however he felt Cameron's hand on his shoulder. "They are sleeping, remember?" She whispered.

"Oh, they have you fooled" He opened the door. Cameron saw Ethan and Joy sitting on Ethan's bed hiding something behind their back. House looked at her "I am their father, remember?" She had to laugh; She couldn't believe that they weren't actually sleeping.

She didn't know if she should be mad or happy. "Happy mother's day, mommy" Ethan and Joy said.

And then it hit her. It was in fact mother's day today. No wonder House and the children were cooking in the kitchen and no wonder that he had let her sleep that long. He never let her sleep without having him drag her out of the bed claiming that he was bored and wanted her to entertain him.

"Here mommy". Joy said as Ethan handed her a small present. She took it and opened it. It was a book. House sat down with the children on the bed wanting to se her reaction. When she smiled he knew he did something good.

"Thank you so much. All of you" Cameron kissed Ethan and Joy on the cheek. House started limping towards the door. "Okay, go to sleep now". He looked at Ethan and Joy.

It was his idea to name the children Ethan and Joy. He remembered when Ethan was born. It was near Christmas and Cameron was visiting Chase and Foreman while he stayed at home and then suddenly she called him saying that she was in labour. On his way to the hospital to see Cameron, he got stuck in traffic.

He was scared that day but he never told it to anyone. When House saw his newborn son he knew that he would want name him Ethan. After his grandfather. Unlike the relationship he had with his father, House was very fond of his grandfather. Mostly because his grandfather would listen to him and watch television with him.

Now those days were gone. House was a father. Who would have seen that one? He thought. Cameron smiled at their children and stood by House. "Good night and thank you" Then she turned to House. "Want to go to bed?". House smirked "Sure" and followed Cameron. He wasn't in the mood to sleep that much.
