Chapter Four:

Tammy smiled as she watched the sun's rays slip through the curtains of her hospital room, but soon she frowned as she looked at the IVs hooked up to her. She always hated hospitals, even though she enjoyed her doctor's immensely, she still hated the representation of a hospital. It might look comfortable and very successful but she knew as well as anyone that death was unavoidable and somewhere at some point in time a death had occurred. She shivered at the thought and looked back outside her window, she closed her eyes and tried to focus on more positive thoughts, her mind automatically flooded itself with the thoughts of Dr.Wilson. A smile graced her lips.

She began to list the pros and cons of a relationship with the doctor.

"Pros--he's cute--he's funny--charming indeed--he's a doctor," this made her laugh lightly. "He's interested in you--and he's not married or involved according to the nurses who checked in on her." "Con's--me" this made her frown and open her eyes.

She never had gotten close to alot of people, she knew this and she didn't deny it. She never admitted it loudly but she knew it, she could feel it every time she was in a "relationship". The Guy would move forward and she take two steps back until the guy gave up and moved on.

She was very content with this ideal, until her dad had died, he was the only person who'd she ever let get close. When he was gone, she then finally knew what the word "alone" really meant.

So she did what she thought was acceptable, she stayed on the road alot, worked alot, and tried not to get involved. This was a good strategy, foul proof, then she gets sick and with no work and no publicist to rag on her, she lets her guard down only to fall for a Doctor.

She ran her fingers through her brown hair and sighed, shaking the thoughts from her head as best as possible, she then continued to stare out of her window.

Cameron was also staring out the window, trying to clear her cluttered mind of guess who? She smiled at the thought of her situation, first she convinced herself she was over him, then he does something that makes her feel good and then she goes back to second guessing herself.

Was she over him?

Yes she was!

No she wasn't

She debated this over and over in her head only to find herself confused and tired. Hearing the door behind her open and close she turned her chair.

"Hey, Ally it's already 8. U ready?"

"Yeah, I'm ready." she smiled raising from her chair, she grabbed her jacket and her purse and walked toward the smiling man.

"Can ur big brother, at least be graced with small smile and a hug." he replied with a smile and open arms.

"Of course." she smiled

They embraced in a tight hug, they released each other and her brother Wesley dropped his arms on her shoulders and the two walked away smiling and talking.

House was making his way back to the office, when he saw Cameron staring out of the window, he stopped and leaned against the wall and watched her, she looked so much at ease, yet he could tell she was conflicted by something by the she she did her famous clench. He continued to watch, when he saw a man a little older than Cameron walk into the office. He watched Cameron smile, and it seemed as though just by the man's presence that her body went to ease. This bothered and angered him, but not as much as when he watched the two embrace and leave together smiling and happy.

House looked down at the ground and proceeded toward his office, where he would sit and think.

--

Wilson walked around the hospital with his hands in his pockets, it was late and he really had nothing better to do and he was sure he didn't want to go home to just be alone. As he walked through the halls he founds himself in front of Tammy's room, he looked in to see Tammy asleep, her head in the direction of her window. This made him smile, at the beauty of it.

Soon his mind alerted him to not venture farther with that thought. He had to stop himself completely. He had his share of enough relationships and marriages, to know where this one thought would take him to.

Sure it was just a thought, but he could tell you just exactly where that thought would take him, right to a date, right to a bed, right to I love yous, right to a marriage and then right to a divorce. It was the ending of that chain that he couldn't bear, especially with someone like her. She was beautiful, strong and had a great sense of humor. and the combination only made him want her more.

He sighed and took one last look into her room before finally walking on to his office to do more paperwork and argue with himself.

Tammy opened her eyes fully to see Wilson gone, smiling softly she drifted back to sleep in peace and content.
