AN: Thank you all for reviewing! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while…I just started the Spring semester, and I'm still trying to remember which way is up. And, I wasn't sure really what Cameron's reasons were for leaving and coming back. I'm also not sure if what I wrote turned out okay. Really…it started to write itself, and it was probably better than anything I could have done anyways...

But here it is!

Cameron stood there staring at her. She couldn't bring out the reasons for her coming back. She honestly didn't know how to put them into words. So, like any other person trying to get out from between a rock and a hard place she grabbed her PJ's and excused herself. "I'm gonna go change." She pointed toward the closest bathroom. "It's getting late." She shuffled as fast as she could inside.

"Oh no! You aren't getting off that easy!" Was heard from the other side of the door as Cameron changed pretty damn quick. She heard more of Thirteen's words being thrown at her as she looked in the mirror. "Come on Cameron! I can't not know! And the fact of the matter is, it's going to come out eventually, so just tell me now!" She had been keeping herself together for over six fucking months! She didn't need this shit! However, she isn't the type of person to just yell and scream what she truly felt; her eyes told it all and that was the precise reason she was trying to recollect herself and appear just tired and frazzled as she prepared for tomorrow. If Thirteen saw her now, she would read Cameron like a book and quite possibly figure it all out. "Cameron it's been seven minutes! How long are you going to try to avoid me in the bathroom?" Remy sounded annoyed.

Just then Cameron flung the door open, completely dressed, with a was of clothing in her arms. "I'm not avoiding you." To prove it to herself she looked Remy in the eyes for a split second, then she looked down and headed toward her bag of clothes and dumped her armload on top.

"Oh, you're not?" Thirteen raised her eyebrows to let Cameron know she was onto her. "Is that why you've dodged and ignored my one question for the past…" she glanced at the clock, "fifteen or so minutes."

"I'm not dodging or ignoring anything." Cameron looked back up at her as she sat down on the couch and crossed her legs and arms. "What is your question, what do you want to know?" She was very, very tense and Remy could tell, but decided to press on.

"Why did you come back? Why leave in the first place if you come back six months later?" Thirteen sat on the arm of the chair she had occupied earlier and crossed her own arms.

"I've answered that." The response sounded forced and like it had no life in it. "I left because I couldn't be around my husband and the man I had fallen for previously. I couldn't be around them because they'd both become…monsters. They didn't really care about anything or anyone so long as it didn't affect them. I came back because I had a life here that I honestly and truly loved. I didn't want to let them keep me from being happy." She still sounded cold; it was almost as if her answer had been rehearsed.

"Yes…" Remy stared at her until she got Cameron's eyed to lock with her own. "Now tell me the real reason."

Cameron couldn't look away, and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing down her cheeks. "I don't think I can answer that quite yet." She stared up and over at the brunette. Trying everything not to sob. All the tools to make a sob had presented themselves: the tears, the sniffle, the lip quiver. But, she just couldn't let herself appear weak…even in front of her best friend. She was really fucked up. She finally couldn't hold off anymore and tore her stare away and looked down.

This got to Thirteen. Not the crying, Cameron's cried in front of her countless times. It was the look in her eyes. It was almost like she had given up on something that she never wanted to give up on. Like she was keeping some huge secret she wasn't allowed to share. She got up immediately after she lost the eye contact went to Cameron. She knelt in front of her and put her hand on the blonde's cheek. "Hey, hey…it's okay. It's okay, it doesn't matter…you don't have to tell me now… Just tell me when you're ready. Whether that be tomorrow or the day I die, okay? You have plenty of time. Shhh. It's okay Allison." By this point Cameron had thrown her arms around Remy and Remy had picked them up into a standing position. "How about we get some sleep okay?"

Cameron nodded. She wiped her eyes and sniffled one last sniffle while walking towards Remy's room. She turned around and cleared her throat, "You coming?"

Yes, you're in my fucking bedroom, what do you think? "Uh, yeah. I'm coming. Don't you sleep in my guest room?"

"Well I didn't last time..and that was the only other time I've cried—literally cried in front of you. I didn't think it'd be a big thing, but if you want me to…" She started walking back down the step that led to Remy's room and towards the guest room on the other side of the apartment.

"No." Remy hooked her arm. "No, it's fine. Let's go." Remy lead them back up the stairs. "We have a big day tomorrow…freaking everyone out with your presense, getting back that Asshole's McGee"

Half an hour later Cameron was still wide-awake, Remy was completely gone. Cameron looked over at Remy who was facing her. She decided to try something she used to do with her friends and sister, hell even her brothers when she wanted to get dirt on them.

She leaned in close. "Reeemmy?" She sounded like she was trying to summon the dead, but Remy did mumble so she decided once more wouldn't hurt. "Reeemmy?"

"What baby? What do you want?" She was still completely asleep.

"Baby? Who's baby?" She was too surprised and it came out rather loud, so in order to stop the already loud noise she clamped her hand over her mouth…she's a genius when she's tired.

"Allison? What are you talkin' 'bout? You're my baby." She did sound smashed, but Allison heard every word.

"I'm your baby?" She couldn't keep herself from grinning.

"Uh huh."

Deciding that she didn't want to know anything else, and deciding that she had had her fun, she asked one more question. "Remy…baby" no harm no foul right? She was asleep! "Will you hold me like you did the night I left Princeton?"

Remy smiled in her sleep and unconsciously pulled her as close as they could possibly be with clothes on. She breathed in her scent. "That better?"

"Yeah thank you." Cameron smiled and snuggled into her.

"Mmm, love you." Remy tightened her grip.

Cameron's mouth fell open. "I love you too."

Remy's eyes opened and looked down at the blonde. She loves me too… This is starting to be an extraordinary year after all. Here marks the best day of my life because Dr. Allison Cameron loves me. She grinned like a fool until she fell back asleep. Cameron should know by now that Remy is a very light sleeper…oh well. She smiled once more at the thought of Cameron admitting her feelings for her and snuggled into the girl once again.

AN: Sorry that this one is kind of short, but I am almost definitely, pretty certainly, nearly totally, practically downright positive that I will have two chapters up by the time the weekend is over…I feel bad not frequently updated, but I lost my muse there for a while what with school and all…

But I completely got it back because CAMERON'S COMING BACK AT THE END OF THE SEASON! I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY YA'LL HAVE NO IDEA! I have put it up on my facebook, I've texted, and I'm wearing my Jennifer Morrison shirt to school tomorrow to celebrate!

Anyways, I do hope to get some more reviews! You guys are awesome!
