Cameron and House had been living together for over a year now. They had shared everything with one another and were dealing with their 'fights' quite well. Around Cameron, House was different. He smiled, he talked without much of that sarcastic remarks and he was able to show not only in his eyes but also with his actions that he cared for her, that he loved her. Cameron being Cameron was always a spoon of sugar but when with House she was more confident, more relaxed... she was perfect.

Usually Cameron would wake up around 6 a.m so that she could be at work around 7.30 a.m and fill some charts for House but today House was the first one to wake up. He opened his eyes and saw Cameron fast asleep, he glanced at the clock and was surprised to see that Cameron was already late for work. Not that he didn't like to have her next to him but it was already 9 a.m and it wasn't normal for Cameron to sleep that much... not during the week anyways.

"Allie...Allie!" said House whispering and then kissing her in the shoulder. Cameron moaned and snuggled to him.

"Allie... You're late for work already. I'm not complaining...you know that I like to have you here when I wake up but... hmm..." Cameron opened her eyes tentativly and tried to focus on House

"I don't feel so good..." she was with a raspy voice and with a restless face. Cameron was never sick... and hearing her say this words made House a bit worried

"Allie what do you feel?" asked House while searching for a thermometer

"I woke up and I was hit by a strong wave of nausea... I threw up then I was just too tired to work I wanted to sleep a little more..." her voice was weak and her eyes were bloodshot from being tired

"Hey...it's going to be ok!" said House comforting her. The thermometer beeped... "You're with a fever... not too high but still a fever..." House kissed Cameron on the cheek and went to the kitchen. He returned moments later with a bottle of water and some pills for the fever. "Here... take this...it's for your fever. You probably caught a bug so today my lady... bed rest and lots of water!" He kissed her protectively on her forehead and got up.

"Where are you going?" asked Cameron not wanting House to leave her alone

"Don't worry...I'll just call Cuddy and let her know that we're not going to work today."

"Oh...ok" said Cameron swallowing the pills and resting her head again in the pillow. Minutes later she was asleep ...
