CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

She found a lab to herself and began to prepare the tests. House came in after her. He sat down next to her and she crossed her arms.

"Is it just me or has it gotten colder in here?" he asked her. "Listen, I'm sorry, I really didn't know how much this has affected you. It was uncalled for and immature from me. Please, let's just forget it!" he said, Cameron's defences were caught, something she didn't expect from House was an apology, she was expecting to be reprimanded for walking away, she was all ready for round two. She looked in House's eyes and saw the sincerity he wanted her to see. She nodded her head and he grinned at her. "You and me lunch?" he asked "A way of saying I'm sorry and a jerk!" he continued.

"You got the jerk part right!" she said to him. "But I have tests here to run and also my rounds to do, so I can't. Thanks though!" she said, he nodded at her and left the lab. She put her head in her hands and breathed a sigh of relieve. The tests running in the background and the silence of the lab helped her to relax somewhat. She sat there, waiting for the results to be downloaded on her laptop. She thought about Chase, connected to him to find out where he was. They were in Mr. Sancaze's room, giving him the meds. She didn't want to see the reaction he was going to have so she stopped the connection. The tests were finishing and her laptop was gaining the results. She looked at them as she began to read them. She did a double take at one of the results, she was right and quickly phone Chase.

"Robert, stop the treatment, we have a problem!" she said as she hung up. She went into the conference room and saw House in his office. Chase and Foreman walked in. Foreman looked angry.

"How can you pull the treatment that would have cured him?" he asked Cameron. She put her laptop down on her desk and showed them the test result. Foreman looked back at her. "I'm sorry I snapped lack of sleep!" he said, she nodded.

"Put him on the replacement therapy." House said as he looked at her. Cameron looked back at the symptoms.

"It still doesn't make sense, something here isn't right, it just doesn't feel right!" she said starring at the whiteboard. House looked at her, confused.

"The test says it's positive, Foreman go and put him on the enzyme replacement and see how he responds to it." He said to him as he took one of his pills. Cameron looked at her watch and saw that House had gone over four hours without taking a pill, she was impressed. House and Chase looked at Cameron.

"It's positive!" Chase told her, she turned and looked at him.

"It still doesn't explain all of the symptoms!" she said to him. They all knew this, but if the test showed them that it was something else, then they were going to treat him with what it said that he had. Cameron sighed and left the boys.

"Where are you going?" House asked her.

"I have rounds and also other tests to see to!" she said as she picked up her laptop and left.

Cameron completed her rounds and went to the lab to find all of the tests finished. She looked at the print outs as her laptop wasn't hooked to the system and took them to her office. The day was drawing to an end, and she hadn't heard anything about their case, so assumed that the treatment was working. She knew that she had missed lunch and she didn't care, she just wanted this murderer out of the hospital, she would rather see him in a jail, but she couldn't do anything about it, not now, but maybe… She found the card that Stacy had given her and she called his number.

"Hello Stacy, its Allison. Listen I need some advice…" Cameron said as she then began to explain the situation to her. After being on the phone for nearly two hours, Cameron thanked her and put it down. She let her advice run through her head as she starred blankly out of her window.

The sun was setting and Cameron was on the roof admiring it, she needed to be outside in the fresh air, and thinking about what Stacy had told her, thinking about the test results and also about her patients. She sat on the roof and starred up in the sky as it turned from light blue to red to dark blue. Her cell phone rang she reached into her pocket and answered it.

"Dr. Cameron speaking."

"Hiding again, where are you?" Chase said on the other end of the phone.

"I'll meet you at your office in ten minutes." She told him and hung up. She watched the rest of the sun setting and headed to his office. She knocked, she knew that she didn't need to she did it out of politeness. She heard Chase's voice telling her to come in and she did. Chase was looking at his last case file and Cameron walked up and looked over his shoulder.

"I would get a CBC test too!" she commented as she read the file.

"My patient, my case!" he said as he looked at her, but wrote it down anyway. She smiled at him and was about to go when Chase turned in his chair and pulled her onto his lap. She felt something vibrate in her pocket, she reached in and found her pager and pulled it out. She saw the number on the screen, she didn't want it to happen yet, but this couldn't wait, it was the ER:

"We need to go to ER. I need to ask you to do something for me!" she said, he nodded and they went down to see what was going on.

Another male in a coma, just like she expected. She looked at Chase, she had to do it.

"Robert, I love you more than anything in the world and would do anything for you…" she said.

"I would do anything for you too Allison, you know that!" he told her as he took her in his arms. She sighed and looked into his eyes.

"This patient has the same thing you had which put you in a coma. It was a demon and I need to make it pass on. This may be asking too much of you, but I need to place the demon in your body so that I can destroy it, as it has to be in someone who I am close to." She explained to Chase, he looked at her, not breaking the eye contact and listened.

"What will happen to me?" he asked.

"Nothing, I will be protecting you the whole time, you may feel strange later, but I promise you that I will not let any harm come to you and also that I will look after you and protect you no matter what. I am not going to lose you now that I have you!" she said. "Sit down next to the man and hold his hand." She said as she pulled away and reached into her pocket. She found the spell that the council had given her she read it one more time. "I love you so very much!" she said to Chase as she waved her hand and locked the door. She sat next to the man and put her hands on his temples. She found the red light and whispered the transfer spell that she had learnt a long time ago. Once the demon had left him, it went into Chase as they were linked together by holding hands. Chase's eyes closed as he went into a coma. Cameron put him on the floor and knelt down beside him. She put her hands on his heart, found the demon and whispered the banishing spell. A scream filled her head and also a language that she had never heard before was spoken to her. The scream faded and she knew that the demon had crossed over. She felt Chase's wrist for a pulse and found nothing. She began to do CPR.

"Robert, don't give up on me!" she said as tears fell from her eyes. A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and sat up. She checked his pulse and felt a strong one. She took him in her arms and cried. Chase looked at her and put his arms around her too. He looked up to the bed where the patient was laying he had opened his eyes and looked scared. Chase reached up and buzzed for a nurse to come and see him.

"Allison, open the door!" he whispered in her ear. She waved her hand without looking up and just lay in Chase's arms. He held her tight and rocked her from side to side to calm her down, her sobbing subsided and she listened to Chase's heartbeat.

"It's okay, it's over now!" he said to her as he helped her stand up. She looked in his eyes and saw nothing but love. The nurses came in and saw to the man and Chase helped Cameron to his car, he just wanted to get her home.

CHAPTER THRITY TWO

"I thought you said I would be the one getting sick!" he said to her as she slowly recovered from the incident.

"I'm waiting for that for later, my job isn't finished yet, I have to look after you tonight!" she said to him. He helped her out of the car and scoped her in his arms. He took her to his apartment and laid her on the sofa. She closed her eyes and concentrated on what the demon had said to her before it crossed over. It was a language that she didn't understand. She sat up, feeling a lot better and looked down at Chase who had sat himself down on the floor next to the sofa. He didn't look too good. She sat behind him and put her hands on his temples. She went through his memories of the event and began to get rid of the ones where the demon was inside him. Chase looked up at her as she did this.

"Stop moving, I need to get rid of them!" she said, he pulled her hands away from his head and held them tight. She opened her eyes and looked at him. "I began, don't you want me to finish?"

"I'm not feeling too good!" he said as he ran into his bathroom and was sick. Cameron waited outside, she knew this would happen.

"Lie down on your bed." She told him once he came out. He did what she said she went on the other side and knelt beside him. "Close your eyes." She told him as she did the same. She whispered a spell and then opened her eyes. She could see Chase's aura around him, however part of it was red. She concentrated on this part and was able to find the memories from the possession that he had just encountered and erased them all, placing another memory in it's place, she found this really hard as she wanted him to remember parts of what had happened, so she just blanked it from him. Once she had gotten rid of the red, she looked at his aura again, it was all white now. She ended the spell and opened her eyes. She looked down at Chase and kissed him on the lips. His arm made its way around her neck and held her there.

"Welcome back!" she said in between kisses. "I missed you!" she said. He pulled away and held her tight.

"Allison, I have snippets of what happened, and I know you did something to my memory. I need to know the blank spaces." Cameron took in a deep breath she knew she had to tell him.

"I wiped all of the bad parts for you, as you do not need to remember it, but you remember most of what happened." She said to him. "Only I need to carry the burden of the bad memories." She told him as she turned away. "I was so scared once it was gone, you had no pulse and were not waking up, and I thought that I had…" tears fell from her eyes again. Chase took her in his arms and took one of her hands and put it on his beating heart.

"As long as this is beating, I'm fine!" he said to her. "I love you Allison, always have and always will not matter what!" he said as he kissed her, tears flowing freely from her eyes. He didn't mind having done what she did he just want to be with her. "I know that you would never let anything happen to me!" He said as she began to sob. Chase took her in his arms more, holding her hard, so that she felt safe and laid her down on the bed.

Cameron closed her eyes, back in the safety of Chase's embrace made her happy. She knew that her work was done and that she didn't need to do anything more tonight. Chase moved his arm away from under her and she felt the bed move.

"Don't leave me here alone!" she said as she sat up and opened her eyes.

"I'm just going to order us some food, I'll be right back. I hope that Chinese is okay!" he said as he went and made the call. He came back after a minute with a couple of glasses and also a bottle of white wine, she smiled.

"I can't drink now!" she said as she looked at him opening the bottle.

"Oh, yes you can, and then we will eat and, well do whatever you want to do. If what you say is right about this thing, then there will be no more attacks here and I have you to thank for that!" he said, she smiled as she waved her hands and put the lights out. She waved her hand again and the candles that Chase had around his room lit up, setting a romantic atmosphere. Cameron took off her lab coat and also jacket that she wore under that, and revealed a stomach revealing top to Chase, he smiled as he handed her a glass of wine.

"Wow, you really are amazing!" he said as she drunk from it, not taking her eyes off him.

"Why do you have candles around your room?" she asked as she went up to them and caught the faint smell of lavender.

"They help me sleep after I've had a hard day putting up with House at PPTH." He said as he came up from behind Cameron. He took her glass out of her hand and put it on the table. "Also for a brilliant mood setter when I have girls around!" he said, she turned to face him.

"So, you have had many here?" she asked. He pulled her to him and held her tight.

"A few since I've moved here, mainly because they love my accent, but I haven't had the feelings for any of them that I have for you Allison. I love you more than in your wildest dreams, and it grows every day that I am with you. Now that we are finally together, you have made me the happiest person in the world!" he said to her, she pushed her lips against his and he relaxed in the kiss. She pulled away and looked at Chase he was still recovering from the kiss and didn't open his eyes.

"What was that for?" he asked her as he looked down at her.

"Everything, I want to be with you, no one else, now and forever if you will have me!" she said as she turned away from him. She was still in his arms, just no loner facing him.

"Of course I do!" he whispered in her ear. The doorbell rang, telling them that their food was here. Cameron was upset for that to spoil the moment, but went to answer it and paid for their dinner. Chase came out and saw her in the kitchen.

"We could leave the food until later?" he said as he wrapper his arms around her neck.

"I missed lunch, I need something other than your love to keep me going!" she said to him, he laughed at this and they sorted the food out and ate.

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

The rest of the night was spent in each other's arms, both too tired and exhausted from the day's events to want to do anything. The alarm woke them both up, they showered and got dressed and Chase drove them again to PPTH. She crashed as soon as her head hit the conference room table, Chase felt like joining her, but after what she did yesterday, she needed it! He got them both a cup of coffee, handed it to her and the smells made her look up. He laughed.

"You are worse than House sometimes! You wake up for coffee, but when I kiss you, you stay asleep!" he said to her as he sat down next to her.

"No, when you kiss me to try to wake me up, you want to make me stay in bed with you!" she answered him, he smiled.

"Well we could do that this weekend if you want?" he said raising an eye brow. She blushed at this suggestion.

"We could, but we could also go out and enjoy the nature, go running together, do something together and then spend most of the day at your apartment!" she suggested. Chase held her hand on the table, they were in love and they didn't care who saw it.

"Icky, get a room!" House said as he walked in. Chase pulled his hand away from Cameron's, she looked at him.

"We had one until you came in!" she said to him, he looked at her as he got himself a cup of coffee. House sat down on the opposite side of the table and looked at his watch.

"Three, two one! Hello Dr. Foreman!" House said as Foreman walked in to the conference room. "Car trouble two days in a row?" House asked as Foreman sat down. Chase and Cameron giggled he was getting some, now they just had to figure out who it was!

"Oh, Foreman is in trouble now!" Cameron said as she couldn't sustain her laughter anymore. She picked up her laptop and was about to leave when House put out his cane to stop her.

"Where do you think you are going?" he asked.

"Well, our plan was that I escaped first, then Chase and we would have sex in my office!" she said with a roll of the eyes. "I'm going to see our patient!" she told House.

"Not without those two you aren't. Do the drugs test, the replacement therapy is working, and we need to explain the other symptoms." House said as he allowed her to pass. The other two ducklings followed her and they walked to see Mr. Sancaze.

"I still don't understand why we have to come!" Foreman said Cameron paused in her tracks it was time to tell him.

"He killed my grandfather and got away with it. I was the only witness but because I was too traumatised, I wasn't allowed to testify." She said, looking at her feet the whole time. Chase put his arm around her shoulder and guided her to a chair. Foreman looked at her and then at Chase, he didn't know how to react.

"He said to me yesterday if he knew me, I told him no as I've just moved here, and I don't know what to do!" she said as she looked up at both of them. She looked beyond them, and saw someone standing there she thought that her prayers have been answered.

"Stacy, oh my god, what are you doing here?" Cameron said as they embraced each other.

"I'm here to help you out, I told you I would come if you need me Allison." She said as she looked at her. "The flu really made you sick didn't it?" she told Cameron, she nodded, she didn't want to tell her the real reason she looked so drained. She went up to Chase and Foreman and hugged them both.

"You should both be ashamed of yourselves, you should take better care of Allison!" she said as she walked back to her. "Are you sure it's him?" she asked, Cameron nodded. She sensed it was him since she walked into the room, that's why she froze, flash backs came to her, his evil aura, she hated it. She knew it before though when she saw the picture, but her feelings confirmed it. Stacy cursed under her breath.

"I need your laptop, I need to see if I can call the case back up, but I'm not sure Allison, let's just take it one day at a time. Dr. Chase should take you home and…"

"No, I want to stay, do my job as a doctor." She replied silently to Stacy.

"Okay, but you are NOT to go near him, in fact come with me to your office and let's catch up!" she said, Cameron looked at the two boys, they knew what they had to do and she walked off with Stacy.

"You have only been gone a few days!" Cameron said as they went to her office.

"I know, but I want to know how the date with Gregg went!" Stacy asked, Cameron began to tell her what happened and also about her working more than she should to get this man out of the hospital. They got to her office and Stacy made some phone calls and was straight on her laptop trying to find her case. Once she had found it, she printed it off and began to read it, seeing what she could do.

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

Cameron left Stacy to read it and went to do her rounds. Once she was finished, she returned to her office to find Stacy still pouring over the print outs. She sat down on her sofa and began reading about a new patient she had just got.

"So, does Gregg know you are here?" Cameron asked.

"No, but Mark does, once I told him that you needed help, he told me to go, but I can't stay long, I fly back this evening." Stacy said looking up from the papers. She looked at her watch. "Let's get some lunch!" Stacy told Cameron.

"I really should work on my case!" she said as Stacy grabbed her hand and dragged her away from her file. "Okay, since you insist, my treat, let's not eat in the canteen though!" Cameron smiled as she locked the door to her office. "So, where do you want to go?" Stacy picked out a pizza place just around the corner from PPTH. They ordered and waited, Cameron spent most of the time talking about everything that happened, and Stacy told her about how Mark was doing.

"He's back to his old self, I really missed him! I can't believe it took so many doctors to finally figure out what was wrong with him!" she said as they ate their pizza. "Anyway about this case. I don't know Allison, I'm hoping that I can find something, but since it happened so long ago, I'm not sure if we can do anything!" Stacy said Cameron looked at her. She had hoped that in a way Stacy would help her, make it better, but also in the back of her mind, she knew that it may have been too late! Cameron had to accept that this may be the case, but it still didn't stop her from making her feel angry.

"A man gets away with murder and now I have to be the one to save his life, the irony in that is amazing!" Cameron said as they walked back to PPTH. Stacy looked at her.

"I will do everything in my power to make sure that this piece of scum goes down Allison, I promise!" she said. Cameron nodded, gave Stacy the keys to her office and they went their separate ways.

House was sitting in his office watching GH when she walked in.

"Go away!" he said without even looking up, and surprisingly, she did. Cameron went into the conference room if House didn't want her company she wasn't going to force it on him! She got herself a bottle of juice that Chase had left in the fridge and began to drink it while reading a medical book that she found in House's collection. House came in and looked at her.

"You're missing the child being born!" she said without even looking up.

"Since when have you done what I have told you?" he asked.

"Since you hired me!" she replied, still reading her book. "What do you want?"

"I should be asking you that question!" House said to her "How did the test go?"

"Don't know I had other business to attend to!" Cameron replied eyes concentrated on the book. "Ask them!" she said as the boys walked into the conference room. Chase looked at her and smiled.

"You missed lunch!" he told her.

"No I didn't, I had lunch with a friend remember!" she said *don't mention Stacy's name, she doesn't want House to know that she is here!* she told him in his head, he nodded. Cameron looked at Foreman her look told him all that he needed to know and also nodded. House looked at each of his ducklings.

"What is going on?" he asked.

"Damn, we wanted to surprise you with a new stripper we thought that you would have rode the other one to death by now, so we thought that we would treat you with someone new!" Cameron told him, finally looking at him. "Now, about the drugs test results?" she said looking at the two boys.

"Positive hence the sickness. Case solved we can discharge him in the morning." Foreman told her.

"Everybody lies…" she whispered to herself, House caught this and looked at her.

"Dr. Cameron?" he said and looked at her, she shook her head clearing the thought.

"Nothing!" she said as she smiled at him. She closed the book and looked at the three boys. "I have to go!" she said and walked out of the conference room.

The roof was always empty, no one came up here and she knew it, sometimes the odd suicidal patient, but she put a lock spell on the door so she wouldn't be disturbed. She sat down and closed her eyes this was going to be hard for her. She whispered the separation spell and then opened her eyes. She saw her body sitting on the floor, she hated this spell, it made her feel vulnerable. She floated down to Mr. Sancaze's room and saw him sleeping, she smiled as she made herself invisible, another hard trick, to perform a spell within a spell. She put her hands to his temples and closed her eyes. The images of her grandfather killing came into them. She pushed them to the front of his mind, she wanted him to feel guilty and also to recognise her next time he saw her. She smiled as she did this, yes it was mean but he needed to pay for his past. She hoped that this would make him confess in front of Stacy when they go to see him. She then started to scan his body. Nothing, he really was doing drugs, the test was correct. He may have lied, but tests don't she cursed herself for thinking that! She closed her eyes and sent herself back to her body. She re opened her eyes and saw that she was back on the roof. She sat there and cried. She felt some guilt about what she did, but it needed to be done, she couldn't let an innocent man run free! She felt her pager going off and looked down at it. House's number was flashing on her screen. She dried her eyes and went down to his office to see him.

CHAPTER THRITY FIVE

House was sitting there, waiting for her to come, and twirling his cane in his hand. She walked in and he waved his hand as a signal to sit down. She sat down and House offered her some of his chocolate. She took a square of it and put it in her mouth.

"So, how are you?" he asked her, Cameron looked shocked by this question.

"I'm fine, thank you." She replied as she took another square of House's chocolate.

"Dr. Cameron, I know that this case has been hard, and I just wanted to say that you have held yourself really well during it. You have proved to me that you really do have what it takes to be a great doctor." House told her, looking in her eyes. She let her mouth drop opened, this was House, paying her a complement. She couldn't respond, she didn't know how to! House grinned at her. "I can't forget my feelings about you!" he whispered loud enough for her to hear.

"I'm sorry Dr. House, I can't do this, I mean I chose, you pushed me away, now you just have to face the consequences for your actions. We need to keep our relationship here professional, but if you want, we could go out for a drink with Foreman and Chase tonight?" she asked him. She wanted to include him more, she hated the idea that he went home alone every evening.

"Okay, sounds good!" he said, she nodded and left.

She smiled at Stacy as she went into her office.

"Let's go see how Mr. Sancaze is doing!" Cameron said, Stacy looked at her strangely, but agreed to it.

"Hello Mr. Sancaze, I have some great news, we can discharge you tomorrow!" Cameron said as she and Stacy walked in. Stacy closed the door behind her. Mr. Sancaze looked at Cameron, and his face went white.

"I know you, it was you… No, you can't do that to me, I was cleared of all charges!" he said with a grin on his face. "Your old man deserved to die, he was going to anyway, and I just made it quicker for him!" he said. Cameron looked at him with hatred in her eyes.

"Thank you for admitting that!" Cameron told him as she pulled out her Dictaphone that she always had with her when she got a patient history. She liked to record it and play it back in case she missed anything. "He was my grandfather, not my old man. He was already dead, but he died in a plane crash at least!" she told him. "Oh, and may I introduce my friend and lawyer Stacy. You better have a good one, because you are going down this time! Dr. House and his team, including me made you better, now it's time that you paid for your crimes!" she told him as she and Stacy walked out of the room. Stacy told the nurses that she wanted guards on the door, Cameron handed the tape to Stacy.

"Well, it looks like he is going down for it after all he doesn't have any leg to stand on with this as evidence. Thank you Allison, he will be going away for a long time. I will contact you when I get back home!" Stacy said she already had her bag with her, with the files from the previous court case in it.

"Send me the bill, you have helped me out so much Stacy and I want to pay you for the work that you have done!" Cameron told her as she hugged him.

"I don't want your money! Your friendship is enough!" she said as they walked out of the hospital.

"No, I insist, please send it to me! Have a great flight home!" Cameron told her as they hugged one last time and Stacy got into the cab. Cameron sat on the steps of PPTH and watched her go. Emotions inside her relieve and also pain came up. She ran to Chase's office, she didn't know if he was there or not! She ran into it, he was looking at case files and looked up at her. She ran into his arms as he stood up and cried.

Cameron loved being around Chase, he made her feel safe, and this time was no exception.

"What happened?" he asked her.

"He admitted it, Stacy is taking my case, but it should be short, he has nothing to stand on as we have it recorded and we never gave him any meds to suggest that he would have been drugged, and the replacement therapy wouldn't do that and neither the treatment for his drug abuse would. It's over and I feel…" she said as her sobs slowly grew stronger. A light came from her necklace. Cameron looked down at it as the image of her grandfather appeared in front of her.

"Thank you Ally, I knew you could help me rest in peace. I'm so proud of you!" he said to her and she reached out to touch him, but her hand just went through him. He then turned to Chase.

"Take care of her, she deserves to be loved and looked after the way she deserves!" he said to Chase.

"I will, don't worry sir." Chase replied taking her in his arms.

"I love you grandpa." Cameron said to him.

"I love you too Ally, I'm so proud of you, you did it without your powers, and you have turned into an excellent doctor and person. I will always be around when you need me!" he told her and he faded. She looked up at Chase and he held her in his arms.

"You did well!" he said as she closed her eyes.

"I did, didn't I!" she said. "Thank you for being there for me!" she said to him.

"I'm always there for you, no matter what!" he said as she began to walk out of his office.

The day was coming to an end and Cameron spent the time sitting in the conference room, alone with a book, no one came in to see her and her pager stayed silent. AT six o'clock, House and the ducklings joined her.

"So, what is the deal with the guards at the door and also the police coming to see our patient today?" House asked her, she looked up at him.

"He admitted it in front of me and my lawyer, we have it on tape, he is going down for it this time, there is nothing in his records to suggest that we drugged him with anything or any malpractice, just making him better. Once we have finished the case and he gets taken tomorrow, I need to send the case file to my lawyer." She told them. "Just let me go and change my top and I'll be ready!" she said as she left the conference room. House looked at the two boys.

"Stacy?" he asked, they said nothing "He's going down for this!" House said with a grin on his face. Cameron came back a few minutes later and saw House and the boys talking and laughing with each other.

"Ready?" Chase said as he put his arm around her waist. She had changed into a low cut top, she felt better about herself today, and she had finally helped her family out. She nodded and they all went out.

The bar near the hospital was their local watering hole. They went in, found a table and sat down. House called Wilson, and he was soon there. They drank and talked about how their cases were going and also problems they were having. It gave them the opportunity to get ideas from each other. House turned to Cameron and looked at her.

"So, how did you get the confession?" he asked, he really wanted to know this.

"When I went to see him to tell him the good news about him being discharged, he admitted it as he remembered me. I had my Dictaphone in my pocket recording the whole time and as my lawyer was there at the same time, he had really brought himself to justice admitting that, and then us having evidence about it." She explained to them all. They sat there and listened, it was amazing how Cameron worked sometimes. House was impressed.

"You are some sneaky person to deal with Allison, sometimes I don't know what to expect from you, since you have been working here, you have turned into the bad girl of my team!"

"I'm the only girl on your team!" she said.

"Well, if we don't count Robert, then yes!" he said, she laughed and so did Chase, he knew that he was joking, they were all used to House's humour after working with him for so long. The time went by as they ordered more drinks and the conversations continued. Cameron was getting tired and she told Chase that she wanted to go home. He looked at his watch and realised how late it was. House and his ducklings began to go their separate ways. Chase drove Cameron back to his place and they crashed in the bed, the events from the past few days had really tired them out that they just wanted to sleep.

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

Months passed sine Mr. Sancaze admitted to killing Cameron's grandfather. The case was not taken to court as he admitted his guilt and pleaded guilty in front of a judge, all in all it was a very short trial. Chase and Cameron had grown closer together, and so had House and his ducklings. They were going to the local watering hole once a week together. Even House and Cuddy were not arguing as much, Cameron had her suspicions there! Cameron was sitting at the table with a coffee and her laptop, checking her e mails. House came in and looked around the room.

"Where is your other half? I thought you two were joined at the hip!" House said to her. He got himself a coffee and sat next to her.

"He got paged, one of his patient's isn't doing too good." She said. Chase had explained to her that Ben was back in hospital. Cuddy popped her head in the door and looked at them both, she smiled and threw a case file on the table and walked out.

"Forget it Cuddy, I'm not doing it!" House told her. Cuddy turned around and put her head back in though the door.

"Yes you will, otherwise its ten extra hour's clinic duty!" she told him as Cameron began to read the file.

"He'll take it!" she said before House got a chance to say anything. Cuddy smiled and left. House turned to Cameron and looked at her, his mouth still open wanting to object.

"You'll love it, trust me!" she said as she slipped the open file over to House. He read it and looked at her.

"Page the two idiots, we have a new case!" he said to her as she reached over to the phone and paged them both. Twenty minutes later, the team had gathered around the conference room table.

"Right, seventeen years old…"House began to say as he heard a pager going off. Cameron reached to it and looked at it. She ran out of the room, House looked at them.

"How rude was that!" he said to them, they looked at each other and the two ducklings ran after her.

Cameron ran to the patient's room. She had crashed, her heart gave up and Cameron didn't understand why. She went in and saw the nurses trying to resuscitate her. Cameron took over, giving the orders and listening to what happened. Foreman and Chase ran into the room, Cameron looked up at them and they began to help her. A few minutes later they had managed to stabilise her.

"It looks like she's your patient now!" Cameron said to Chase as she walked out.

"What caused this reaction to happen?" Chase said as he ran after her. Cameron looked at him and shook her head.

"I don't know, but now I have a new symptom, I guess I could just up my research to find out what's wrong with her…" she said to him.

"You don't get enough sleep as it is already, you study too much." He said to her as they walked to the conference room and saw House still waiting for them. "Maybe I should take over the case like you said…"

"No, I can do it I need to do it for her now!" Cameron said as they walked in. Foreman followed them shortly.

"If you are going to study so much, then maybe you should take fewer patients for your rounds!" Chase said she shook her head.

"I'll be able to do it, I always can you know that!" she said with a smile on her face.

"Please, can you guys wait until tonight?" House said to them. "Now, back to our case! Seventeen year old…"

"Male presenting with symptoms that duplicated meningitis however spinal tap turned out to be negative. He has started to show more symptoms that include coughing up of blood, weight loss, fatigue, and also inflammation of the eyes." Cameron finished for him.

"Call Wilson he has lung cancer!" Chase said Cameron looked at him.

"Okay and I'm pregnant!" she told him, he looked at her, House grinned, she knew that she wasn't, but he loved the shocked look that Chase now had on his face.

"TB could cause the coughing up of blood, his immune system could be destroyed which is causing the other symptoms." Foreman suggested. House looked at him.

"Well, let's ask our immunologist!" he said looking at Cameron. She smiled at them all and thought about it for a few minutes.

"No, it wouldn't cause the inflammation of the eyes." She told them.

"Pink eye for that!" Foreman added.

"As if he would have that at his age!" she said.

"Its possible, people can have it at any time!" House told her. She looked at House, she knew that but she was surprised that he didn't get her sarcasm.

"I know, but it doesn't fit! What about Goodpasture syndrome!" She suggested. House looked at her as she was something amazing.

"Dr. Cameron, you have been studying very hard the last few months!" House said to her.

"Well, if I want to be a doctor like you, except the sarcasm, and being a male I have to do something!" she said sarcastically.

"We should also test for Churg-Strauss Syndrome if we are going to do all of these tests!" Chase added. House looked at his ducklings.

"Fine, run all of the tests for the diseases that you think it could be and let's see how we can make this hormonal raged teenager get back hunting in his high school and not in my hospital!" House told them as he went into his office. The ducklings left, Chase still having a puzzled look on her face. He went up to Cameron she could already read his thoughts.

"No I'm not, don't worry!" she said to him. *But practising is always part of the fun!* she told him, he blushed at this thought. He had never thought about him and Cameron having a child together. This thought then filled his head, and he had a big smile on his face for the remainder of the day.

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

Cameron got the patient history and was listening to it in her office while looking at the case from the patient that had crashed that morning. She was concerned, two cases, two different people. She didn't know what to do. Her eyes hurt from reading too much, but she had to find out what was wrong. She looked at her watch and saw that it was getting late. She continued reading and found something out that could have caused her to have had the heart attack. She smiled as she finally figured it out. She went up to the ward and told the nurses what to give her. Once she was finished, she went down to the conference room and poured herself a coffee. She saw House still in his office. It was the first day of the case and he was already working late. She went in and looked at him.

"It's day one of the case and already you are here later than you normally would! I thought that you hate this place and wanted to get out as soon as possible!" Cameron said as she drunk her coffee.

"I do, it's just he's not getting better!" he said.

"Well, you don't do the tests and put him on the meds you think is the best, of course the kid is going to get worse! Take him off them and leave him to…"

"Die? Brilliant idea Dr. Cameron and you really needed a medical degree to say that!" he told her, she ignored it as they were both tired.

"House, go home and relax and I will see you in the morning!" she said as she returned to the conference room and picked up the book that she was reading yesterday and continued to read it. House looked in at her as he turned off the lights to his office.

"What are you planning to do?" he asked her.

"Study, Foreman and Chase have done the tests that's why he is on the meds and have gone home, so I guess I could just stay here!" she said to him. House looked at her.

"If you keep going like this, you will burn out. Go home and have the morning off, tell Chase he can have the same, relax and stop it before you have a breakdown! Do you want a lift?" he asked her.

"No, its okay, I can walk back to Chase's, its not too far!" she said as she left with House. She followed him to the entrance of the hospital and they said their goodbyes and left.

Cameron knocked on Chase's door he opened it and was surprised to see her standing there.

"It's about time I got you a key to my place!" he said to her. "I didn't want to disturb you, you were so busy reading and I know how you don't like to be disturbed." He said as she came in and sat on the sofa.

"We have the morning off, House is worried that I am studying too much!" she said. Chase sat down next to her and took her in his arms.

"You are. Come on, lets get you in bed, you look exhausted!" he said as they made their way into the bedroom. Cameron saw that Chase was also busy studying as she saw all of the books on the bed. She read one of them and looked at him.

"You're hitting the books too? We make a right pair!" she said to him as she closed her eyes. He put the books on the floor and kissed her on the lips.

"I wanted to help you out. House isn't the only one who is worried about you. I love you and am worried that you are going to burn out!" he said as she snuggled up to him.

"I'm fine, I can look after myself!" she said

"Yes, but sometimes you need someone to push you in the right direction, be there when you fall and to help you to support you when you need it!" Chase said to her as he kissed her on the head gently. Cameron hadn't noticed much as she was falling into a deep sleep. Chase held her in his arms he wanted her, not just for a little while like he felt when he went out with other girls, but forever. Chase looked down at her as she slept. He knew that she had shown her so much and given her so much he wanted to do something for her. He closed his eyes and began to think about how he was going to implement his plan.

Cameron awoke to the smell of food cooking in the kitchen. She stretched and saw Chase making her breakfast. She went up to him and put her arms around his waist and began to kiss the back of his neck.

"You should be asleep!" Chase told her.

"You should be at work!" she said.

"So should you, but House said we can have the morning off! Now back to bed with you!" he told her as he pointed to his room. She pulled away from him, kissed him on the neck one last time and then went to bed. She picked up one of the books that Chase was reading last night and began to read. She saw something that had caught her eyes. She read and thought about a few things.

"Even if it was… it couldn't, but would explain everything!" she said to herself as Chase came in with two plates of bacon and eggs. She looked up at him and then down at his book.

"Why were you reading this?" she asked him as she took the plate from his hands.

"Its part of my study that I'm doing, why?" he asked.

"Because of you, this may solve the case with our young lad!" she said as she began to eat.

"Well, he can wait, let's eat and then we can always help each other relax!" he said, she looked at him and smiled. She put her plate down and crawled up to him on the other side of the bed. She kissed him on the neck and whispered a spell to make it darker in the room. Chase looked at her and put his plate down too.

"What about food?" he asked her as he turned to face her.

"Don't want it, I want you!" she said as she kissed him on the lips. She whispered another spell and a flame hovered above her and Chase. She found this hard to hold it as the colour kept changing uncontrollably. She concentrated a bit more and was able to settle it on red. She gently nudged it and pushed to the ceiling. Chase took her in his arms and pushed her down to his bed, where they began to help each other relax.

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

They went to PPTH and saw Foreman and House arguing over something.

"That is so not fair, how come they get the day off and I don't!" Foreman shouted at House.

"If it makes you feel better, you can have the afternoon off!" House shouted back as Cameron and Chase walked in. "Go home Foreman, don't say I never do anything nice for you!" he told him as he looked at the two who had sat down at the table. Foreman nodded, picked up his coat and left. House looked at his remaining two ducklings.

"If I knew it would be this hard, I wouldn't have hired a team!" he said as he joined them. "Please tell me you both have some good news to get the teenager out of this hospital!" he said, they looked at him. Cameron had found something last night, but she wasn't too sure now as she looked at the symptoms again on the board.

"I knew I shouldn't have stopped studying!" she said to House, he looked at her.

"If you didn't I would have you in a hospital bed by now so please either slow down or don't take on too many patients on your rounds. I know how many you have and you are already pushing it more than what a normal doctor would. There is only so much the famous Dr. Cameron can do without hurting herself!" he told her, she looked into his eyes and saw something she had never seen there before. She pulled away from the glance, trying to think if she had made a mistake or not. She looked back up at the board another symptom was there Cameron couldn't deal with it anymore she needed to find out what was wrong with him.

"What about Dengue Fever, it would explain the new symptom and also the swelling of the eye." Chase said. House looked at him.

"No, it doesn't explain the rest of the symptoms, I was thinking fifth disease last night, however doesn't explain the nausea and also the swelling of the eye." Cameron said as she continued to look at the board. "What about Kawasaki disease?" she said looking at House, but avoiding eye contact if she could.

"If it was that then it would have cleared up by itself! But check him for all of those diseases and anything else that may come to you!" he said as he went into his office. Chase stood up and began to leave the conference room. He turned and saw Cameron still sitting there.

"Are you coming?" he asked her.

"Go ahead and do the tests, I'll meet you in the lab in half an hour to help!" she said, Chase nodded and he left her alone.

Cameron looked at House's office, she was thinking about to go and see him or not! She took a deep breath and stood up. She knew she had to talk to him. She knocked on his door and he looked up. She starred at him and he just looked at her. She walked in and sat down on his sofa. House put his music on and Cameron closed her eyes and listened. House came and sat down next to her.

"So what can I do for you Dr. Cameron?" he asked her as she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Um… Dr. House I think I know what could be wrong with our patient." She said, as she held her arm and stroked it.

"Okay, then why are you here, waiting for my approval?" he said to her. She looked at House and he looked at her.

"I know that there is something there, but I can't, I'm sorry, I wish that I could but I have to stop this now before anything can happen!" she said as she stood up from the sofa. House grabbed her arm and she turned and looked at him.

"I have dreams of us, sharing a sun set on my balcony. Every time I wake up, I think of you and everything that you have done for me." House said as he looked up at her.

"Dr. House it's just a dream, nothing more. I have to go and help Chase with the tests." She said as House let go of her arm. "Things can't change, we know that!" she said as she walked away from House's office and into the hallway. She went to the labs and saw Chase preparing the tests. She went up to him and he smiled.

"So, what did you find out?" he asked her.

"I don't know, are we sure that we are doing the right tests?" she asked him.

"Well, we don't know unless we do them!" he said as the tests were still running. Cameron picked up one of the blood tests and began to run some gels. They ran tests together in silence and House came into the room. They both turned and looked at him.

"So, what do we have?" he asked them.

"Nothing!" Cameron said, looking up from the results. House came over to her and gave her the empty bottle of pills.

"I need a refill!" he said.

"And I need to do a physical on you before I can give them to you. Now sit down and let me take some bloods!" she said as House sat down. She went out and left House and Chase alone.

"How many left to do?" House asked them

"Not many, about three more, but if they are going to be the same as the rest of the results, then we have no idea what's going on!" Chase said to House.

"How are things between you and Cameron?" House asked him.

"They are great, I mean she has moved in with me and we are thinking about things maybe going further." He said to House, he couldn't believe that he was talking about this to House, but they had become good friends, so he didn't mind. Cameron walked in with the things that she needed to talk his bloods. House held his arm out and she found a vein and drew the blood. Once she had done that, she began to run the tests for them. House looked at them both and began to walk out of the room.

"Come by my office in about two hours and I will have the refill for you okay." She said as she looked at House. The same look was still there as she had seen in the conference room.

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

Cameron looked at Chase as House left. He came up and put his arms around her waist.

"I have a surprise for you tonight!" he whispered in her ear. She turned around and smiled at him. "So don't go working too late, I will be coming to get you from your office at 6. So be ready and no hiding from me today!" he said. Cameron was looking at the test results. She hadn't been able to concentrate on anything all day and was waiting for House's blood tests when she all of a sudden looked up. She starred at Chase, ran out of the lab and to the conference room. She looked at the board and smiled. She wrote something on the board, ran out of the room again and into their patient's room. Chase just looked at her as she went from one room to the other and House popped his head out of his office and saw Cameron going back and forth. He went into the conference room where Chase was standing and read what she had written on the board.

"Damn she is such a brilliant doctor!" Chase said as he looked at House.

"You are lucky to have her I would keep hold of this one in case someone tries to take her!" House said to him as he walked back into his office. Chase left the conference room and went after Cameron. House went back into his office and listened to his record. All he could think of was Cameron, but he knew that he had to stop. Images of what he and Cuddy had shared in the past flashed in his head. He grinned as he thought about her and the times that they had together. He never thought that anything could happen between them, but things change, situations change, maybe he should do something to change this too.

Chase found Cameron smiling in her office. She had done all of the test results and was reading over House's blood tests that had finished. She also had a bottle of pills on her table she still had to work her magic on them.

"Wegener's Granulomatiosis, well spotted!" he said to her as she looked up from the test results.

"Have to wait for a biopsy to confirm that, but have taken him off the meds that you guys put him on and gave him a normal saline drip, I'm not going to put him on the meds until I'm sure that it is!" she said to Chase as she began to play with the bottle in her hand. "What can I do for you?" she asked as he walked over to her desk.

"Do I need a reason to see my girlfriend?" he asked her, she smiled.

"Well, going on a guess that House said something to you about me, then yes! What did he…" she began to say, but she tapped into his memories instead. She blinked back the hurt on her face at what House had said to him. "…I would keep hold of this one in case someone tries to take her." Cameron said looking at Chase in the eyes. "Nothing and I repeat nothing is going on between House and me, I love YOU, not him, and he knows that, he just won't accept that he has lost to you I guess!" she said to Chase as she walked over and kissed him on the cheek. Chase looked at the pills that she had prescribed House.

"You know, these are the same strength as his old ones, but he seems to be in less pain and is more bearable since he has been on them. He even said that he has been able to sleep. Now there must be something that you are doing to them!" he said as he looked at her, she was closing her blinds and locking her door. She grinned at him as she sat back down at her desk and took the pills from his hands.

"Do you want me to show you something amazing?" she said to him as she poured the pills into her hands.

"I already have you, and you are the most amazing thing that I need!" he said as she closed her eyes. She whispered the healing and pain killing spell over the pills as they slowly began to turn a light purple colour in her hand. She finished the spell and put the pills back in to bottle. "This is the reason why, and no I don't do this to any other patient's, just to House's pills as he needs more than modern medicine to help him out." She said as Chase looked at her. "I cure everyone else with my medical knowledge, I only use my gift on rare occasions, like when I want to seduce you!" she said as she waved her hands and the blinds raised back up. She left her office and went to see House.

His office was darkened she knocked on the door and heard House telling her to come in. He was expecting her she was normally early when he needed his meds.

"Here you go, same as normal, one every four hours." She said as she walked out to leave. She stopped in her tracks she had to get this off her chest. "Gregg, I love you, I always have and always will. But I am with Chase and I love him more than you can imagine. I wish that something would have happened between us, but it can't and I am happy with my choice. I see the love that you have for me now, but it's too late and I don't want to hurt you. This is hurting me too!" she said as she felt House's hand on her shoulder.

"The dream I have about the sun setting and us kissing, it wasn't a dream was it?" he asked her. She shook her head at least he didn't remember her display of magic. House turned her around and leaned in towards her. She pulled away she didn't know what do to. "Please, just one more, I want to know!" he said. He walked up to Cameron and leaned in. Cameron waved her hand and locked the doors in case someone was going to disturb them. House leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips. She wanted to respond with all the passion that had burned inside of her for him. She responded to the kiss, allowing him to take it as far as he wanted to. He pulled away, that was all he needed to know.

"You do love him, no matter how it hurts for you to block up your feelings for me, it's him you want!" he said to her.

"He won't hurt me like you have done. I know that it hurts and that I do have feelings for you, but my feelings for Chase are stronger and we are very happy together." She said. House sighed and looked at her.

"There's nothing I can do to change your mind!" he said, she shook her head. "Okay, I know that now, but if he does anything to hurt you, then I am going to hurt him more than he can imagine!" he told her as he hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. "Thank you for the pills, I don't know what it is, but they really do help!" he said to her.

"Must be the fact that every time you pull the bottle out, you see my name in black and white!" she said as she waved her hand and unlocked the doors. "I know what you are planning to do, I bet she doesn't know yet!" she said before she walked out. Cameron used some of her magic and had gained a look into House's feelings, not only for her, but also for Cuddy.

CHAPTER FOURTY

Chase was waiting for her in her office. She went in and looked at him.

"Time to go!" he said to her. She waved her hand and the door closed and locked and the blinds went down. She looked at Chase and smiled. She took off his lab coat and he looked at her as she led him to the sofa.

"So tell me, what have you got planned tonight and since when have you had time to plan it without me being around?" she asked him, he smiled at her and took her in his arms.

"That's for me to know and you to find out! Now no more seducing me, not that I don't like it, but we have things to do, and time is ticking on!" he said to her.

"Oh, I can sort that one out for us too!" she said as they stood up and left her office.

Chase drove them back to his place and he let her in. Cameron walked in and sat down on the sofa.

"Stay there, close your eyes and no peeking or using magic!" he said as he left her. He came back out with something in his hands. "Okay, open them!" he told her. She looked at Chase and saw that he had a beautiful green dress in his hands. Cameron stood up and touched it, shocked by the gift. Chase gave it to her. "You have an hour to get ready, so go and have your shower and get changed. I'll be in our study getting ready!" he said as he kissed her on the lips and left. Cameron went into their room and got undressed. She quickly jumped into the shower, came out and dried herself. She looked at the emerald green dress and took it out of the plastic covering. It was made of silk she had never had anything that beautiful in her life. She slipped it on and it hugged her in all of the right places. She began to work on her hair, knowing that a simple spell would take care of it as she wanted to make it look special. She imagined how she wanted it to be, twisted with lockets hanging from it and gems threaded through it. When she opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, she saw exactly how she wanted it she smiled and looked down at her feet. She went through her wardrobe and saw a box in the bottom of it. She opened it and found the shoes that matched the dress. She slid them on and sprayed herself with her perfume as she heard a knock at the door. He smiled as she realised that her time was up. She opened it and saw Chase standing there in a suit with a matching green shirt on. He looked up at Cameron and his face said it all. She blushed as she saw that he had something in his hand, a small red rose. He placed it in her hair and kissed her on the cheek.

"You look amazing!" he whispered in her ear. She blushed some more and he offered her his arm. She treaded hers through his and he guided her to the car. Chase opened the door and let her in. She thanked him as she entered. He sat down and Chase got into the car and just looked at her. She laughed as she looked at Chase, he couldn't take her eyes off her.

"Hey, shall I drive? I don't want us to have an accident!" she said as she leaned over and kissed him on the lips. He relaxed in the kiss, she could tell he was nervous about something, but what, she didn't know! He smiled at her as she pulled away and he started the engine and drove them away from his place.

Chase took them to the theatre, something Cameron had wanted to go for a very long time, and was very surprised that he had got them box tickets. She smiled at him as he led her to their own private box. She kissed him as soon as they got there.

"Wow Robert, this is amazing, you are amazing!" she said to him as she leaned her head on his shoulder. He put his arm around her as the play started. When the interval came, Chase left Cameron as he went to get them something to drink. She sat down and read the program while he was gone. Case was waiting in the queue as he pulled out a little box he had in his pocket. He opened it and looked at the thing inside it. He didn't know how he was going to do this, but he knew that he wanted to. He put it back in his pocket with the other thing that he had and got them something to drink. He came back to the box and saw Cameron sitting there, looking at the program. He came over and gave her the drink.

"Thanks." She said as she began to drink her water. "So why are you doing all of this, not that I have nothing against it, but the dress is amazing, the shoes and now this. Robert what is going on?" she asked as she put her head back on his shoulder. He lifted her head up to his and kissed her gently on the lips. Cameron melted as the kiss became more intense. He pulled away, now was the time to give her the gift. He reached into his pocket and gave Cameron the box.

"This is something for you, I wanted to give you something to symbolise my love for you." He told her as she opened it and she saw a ring on the box. She looked up at Chase. "There is normally a question to go with a ring like this, but I don't want to ask it, not yet. Not until you have met the rest of my family!" he said as he pulled out two tickets. He handed them to Cameron who opened them up and saw two tickets to Australia. She looked at Chase and he smiled at her, she didn't know what to say as no one had ever done anything like this for her before. She hugged him so hard that he nearly couldn't breath. When she pulled away Chase looked at her. She kissed him hard on the lips she still didn't know what to say or what to do. Chase took the ring and put it on her finger, but not the one that the ring belonged on, the one on her to her hand. She looked at him and smiled. She whispered a spell and things went into slow motion. Chase looked around as everything became slow. She smiled at him and he looked at her.

"This is very hard for me so I can't hold it for long. Robert, I can't believe all that you have done for me. Dance with me." She said as she stood up and held out her hands. She whispered another spell and they heard music playing. Chase went into her arms and she whispered a hover spell. They danced in each other's arms and hovered over the theatre. He looked down at her, she began to get weak. She brought them back to the box they were sitting in and collapsed in her chair. Time resorted itself and the music faded. Chase looked at her as she closed her eyes. He checked her pulse and her temperature. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"I'm fine, just tired, that took a lot out of me but it was worth it to be with you. I can't thank you enough for all of this Robert, I don't deserve it or you!" she said as he sat back down and she rested on her shoulder once again. They watched the rest of the play and Chase drove them back home. As soon as they walked through the door, Cameron had taken him in her arms and was kissing him hard and deeply. She took off his jacket and began to undo his shirt. Chase reached up to her hair and pulled out the clip that held it together. The gems fell out onto the floor and disappeared, she knew that it was only a temporary spell and she loved it. Chase picked her up and took her to the bed. He laid her down and looked at her, lying there in her dress as she admired him half naked.

"Did I tell you how amazingly sexy you look in that dress?" he said to her she sat up and kissed him on the lips. She put her arms around him and pulled him down on top of her. He helped her out of the dress and she helped him out of his pants, and they made love all night long.
