Chapter 2 Scared
-----------------
She had spent the night at his apartment.
She had been uneasy that whole night, she talked for hours about how this shouldn't happen, that she had never thought that she, of all people, would cheat on her husband.
He had rubbed her back, let her talk until she was out of reason why it would be so wrong.
He reminded her that there was a reason why she was there in his home, why they couldn't run away from each other.
That he would stand just were he was, by her side, no matter what happened.
She fell asleep in his bed, an arm draped over her stomach.
He spend a good part of the night just looking at her.
He noticed how her hair would pool around her, how pale she looked under the moonlight.
How small she was in such a large bed.
And how glad he felt that she was there, with him. Wearing nothing but a black 'Metallica' shirt and a blue pair of boxers.
It would be hard from now on; her husband would call none stop to find out where she was. A lot of lawyers, judges, and settlements.
In a simple word, a lot of headaches were on the way.
He pushed that aside and limped to bed, slowly he settled himself next to her. Pulled her closer and kissed her hair
"Good night"
------------
She was starting to show, the little bump grew just before his eyes.
There were many different rumors flying around about Dr. Cameron's pregnancy and her on-going divorce to her five month marriage that had ended just about three months before.
And most of all people were very confused about the reason why Dr. I'm-a-pain-in-the-ass-and-there-is-nothing-you-can-do-about-it House had taken on such a task as to be by her side every moment of the day.
Allison Cameron sighed and tried to rub her shoulder as she sat on the conference room the never ending pile of mail still sat in front of her.
"Something wrong?" Dr. Eric Foreman asked as he took a seat in front of her a cup of coffee in one hand, a newspaper in the other.
"Just a little tired. My lawyer called and apparently I'm scheduled for a DNA test later next week" she looked at her friend, her back was killing her
"So... It's true.." Foreman mumbled to himself out loud.
"What's true?" Allison arched an eyebrow in curiosity, a hand still massing her shoulder
"Oh nothing" Foreman tried to give her a smile to cover up
"Foreman" she said his name like a warning, she had definetly been around House for too long.
"Fine" he let a breath go in defeat "Well everyone is saying, not me of course, that you had an affair" he looked very uncomfortable under her gaze
She let out a laugh, shook her head gently "People in this hospital need new ways of entertainment" she placed a hand on her slightly larger and rounder stomach
"Then it isn't true?" he looked taken back
"No. It's true"
The money House would have paid to see the expression in his face.
Cameron got up and made her way to the Clinic.
--------------
"When's your next check up" House asked out of the blue that night as they ate their dinner, he sat on the couch while she sat on the only little space left on the junk covered table.
Cameron had moved in when she announced to her husband that it was over. They had been searching for a new place for the last month.
Ever since Cameron had finally convinced him that a one bedroom apartment would be kind of cramped for three people.
Allison gave him a look that let him know she was trying to remember
"Thursday of next week" she answered, then took a sip from her juice.
"Mind if I come along?" he looked extremely uncomfortable at asking the question, his attention was drawn to his plate of spaghetti.
She smiled, and she knew he could tell her pleased she was that he had offered.
Allison got up from her seat and walked to where he was sat in front of the TV; she took his plate and settled it on the coffee table before snuggling close to him
"I'd really like that" those excited eyes of hers made him smile, and he tried as hard as he could not to let the smile show
Out of habit he put a hand over her stomach, tried to feel the movement
"You do know that people at the hospital will see you going into the appointment with me?" she said as she stroked his hand with her own, she started to feel a little tired. She was so glad when she hadn't gotten so much nausea but then again she was tired most of her days now.
"More for them to gossip about" he gave her hand a light squeeze.
"Besides I heard that there is a bet going around on who the father of that baby is. I'm getting Wilson to bet on me so we can split the money" he said in a voice as if he had accomplished the world's greatest task, Allison on the other hand hit his chest
Then she looked down, her head against his shoulder "What if it-"
"We've been over this. No matter what I'm going to be the father to this kid" he made her look up at his, and gently pressed his lips against her own.
"Now give me that silly annoying little smile of yours!" he demanded and when she tried to repress the smile he started to tickle her sides.
-------------
After the initial shock of seeing Gregory House walk into his office for the schedule visit of Allison Cameron, Dr. Edson was beyond confused.
But for the sake of ethics he preferred not to mention anything until the visit was over, like it was ordered he took samples for a DNA test from both the baby and Cameron, her at the time still husband had shown up earlier to leave his sample.
"Anyone else you would like me to take a sample of?" Dr. Edson asked as he spread the cold clear jelly like substance over her stomach.
"Yes" she looked at House who was seated next to her
Shock would be putting it lightly for the look on Raymond Edson's face. But after a few not-so-very-nice remarks from House he had continued with the process.
"Now isn't this something?" Edson said, talking to himself mostly. He turned the monitor so that Allison and House could look
"Is something wrong?" was the first thing that came out of Cameron's mouth. Worry for her baby taking over any rational thought
"No. Nothing like that" the doctor gave her a laugh as she started to come down "You're havin-"
"Twins" House said, his eyes ran over the screen took in all the little details of the two little forms.
It's needless to say that Allison Cameron could not be happier and was telling any soul who would listen about the news.
While Gregory House spend the next better part of the day quiet in his office. His eyes glued to the screen of his computer as he researched for a house close by with at least three bedrooms.
"So I heard the good news" Wilson said leaning against the door
House looked up from the computer screen to give his best friend a rather confused face. There seemed to be a lot of people doing that this day.
"Twins" Wilson told him, surprised that his friend had apparently forgotten
Gregory House was quiet for a long moment "I didn't think I could handle one. Now there are two" He was sincerely scared.
------------------------
Well all for now. Please tell me what you think.
Yeah this one got away from me as well. Oh and if anyone is wondering Cameron is around 4 months along.
