Chapter Three
Once on the plane they found that only two of their seats were together. Allison and Lilley were sat together while Chris's seat was across the other side of the plane. Allison indicated for Chris to come over to her.
"You sit with your sister, I'll sit over there." Chris nodded and sat in the seat next to his sister while Allison made her way over to her seat. Once she had put her bag in the overhead compartment she sat in her seat. She had only been sat for a moment before a figure towered above her.
"Excuse me, I believe I'm meant to be sat in that seat." She looked up and found her breath caught in her throat. Stood above her was a man around the same age as her. He had dark eyes and dark hair and the most inviting lips she had ever seen, he was currently pointing at the seat next to her. She swallowed and nodded.
"Oh I'm sorry." She stood up and let him past; once they were both sat down he offered her his hand.
"I'm Adam Smith." She took his hand and smiled.
"Allison Cameron, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you Allison." They sat in silence for a while as Allison read her book and Adam read his newspaper. Once they had taken off and had been in the air for around twenty minutes he folded his newspaper up.
"Well that's the worst part over." She closed her book and replied.
"Yes, until landing." He smiled at her and she was mesmerized by his smile before asking. "So Adam Smith, why are you flying to New Jersey?"
"Well, I'm moving there actually."
"Oh, that's nice, for any particular reason?"
He nodded. "Yes better job offer." She laughed and he chuckled. "So how about you?"
"I'm taking my children there, I used to live there and have some friends I need to visit."
Adam looked at the seat beside them, and then behind them and in front of them and then turned back to Allison.
"Now Allison, I don't mean to worry you, but I think you may have forgotten your children." She laughed and shook her head and then pointed over to the seats on the far side where Lilley and Chris sat playing their game boys.
"That's them, Lillianna and Christopher."
"Oh right. Phew, what a relief eh?" She laughed and he smiled. "What unusual names, well not Christopher but Lillianna is unusual isn't it."
She nodded. "Yes, we call her Lilley for short, but I have always liked the name Lillianna since I was child."
"Fair enough. So I see no ring on your finger, should I take that as you're not married?"
"You should yes, I'm not married, and I'm not with anyone, single really." She realised she was rambling and quickly shut up and saw him smiling at her.
"So, you're not with the father…" She shook her head quickly and laughed.
"God no! Haven't been in years, it was a mistake really. Like I said, I'm single."
"Interesting." He smiled at her and she couldn't help smiling back despite everything that was going on this man captivated her and made her feel warm, she couldn't look at him without smiling. There was an announcement over the speakers telling them that the in-flight entertainment was about to start. Breaking the gaze Allison picked up her headphones and turned her attention to the screen in front of her, a smile still on her face.

As they made their way through the airport a few hours later, Chris brandished a pair of sunglasses.
"Look what I found in the overhead storage mum."
"Cool." Allison wasn't really listening, she was watching for their bags on the carousel. Lilley tugged on her mum's sleeve.
"Can I wear your sun glasses so we can play Men In Black." Allison found her sunglasses from the bottom of her handbag and handed them to her daughter.
"Go wild." Once they were out of the airport Allison flagged a taxi down which took them to the hotel. Up in their family sized room Lilley jumped on the bed while Chris sat slouched in the chair. Allison unpacked and then went over to Chris.
"What's wrong Chris?"
"Just tired mum, feel all achy and tired." Allison nodded and stroked his hair.
"Ok, come on, time to go see Uncle James. Lilley get off the bed and put your shoes on, Chris put your coat on please." She watched with a sad feeling as her son struggled to put his coat on battling his fatigue and aches. Lilley bounded over to them and handed Chris his sunglasses.
"Don't forget your glasses agent C!"
He took them off her slowly and put them on. "Thanks agent L." Allison called them a taxi from down the lobby even though the hospital was only a ten-minute walk, she didn't think Chris was up to it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At the hospital Allison led the familiar route to Wilson's office, thankfully it hadn't moved and she could still find it with ease. Once there she knocked gently before opening the door and found a grinning Wilson sat behind his desk.
"Allison! What a lovely surprise." He stood up and as she pushed the door opened grinned more. "And Lilley and Chris are with you, well this just gets better and better." Lilley ran over to Wilson jumping into his outstretched arms, he picked her up and held her with one arm.
"Uncle James!"
"Hey kiddo, nice to see you." He looked over at Chris and ruffled his hair. "And you too Chris. You ok?" Chris nodded and Allison looked at Wilson.
"He's tired. I need to talk with you." Wilson nodded putting Lilley down who walked up to her mum.
"Can we go explore?"
"No!" Allison said firmly, the last time she had let her children explore in a hospital she had found them two hours later prodding a coma patient trying to wake him up. "Go sit outside and play with your game boys or with cards or something, but don't leave those chairs outside, got it?"
"Got it." Lilley scuffed her feet as she went while Chris simply followed without a fuss, once they were gone Wilson turned to Allison.
"What's the matter?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Outside the room Lilley sat on the floor with her back against the chair that Chris was curled up in playing his game boy. Lilley was half way through her game of patience before she spoke.
"He's our dad you know."
Chris paused his game boy and looked at her. "Who?"
"Uncle James." She didn't look up and Chris unpaused the game boy.
"No he's not don't be stupid."
"He is, I'm telling you, it makes sense."
"No it doesn't."
"Yes it does," she turned around to face him. "We've known him all our life and have always called him Uncle James, he always sends up birthday gifts as well as Christmas, he never forgets. And besides, who else would our dad be?" She turned back to her game and Chris was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"I don't know, but it's not Uncle James, that's just sick."

House made his way to Wilson's office, it was time for dinner, and it was Wilson's turn to pay, as usual. There were two kids sat outside his office, a little boy in a chair looking very pale and a little girl sat on the floor. He almost smiled as he noted the ridiculous sunglasses the pair were wearing. Ignoring them he made his way up to Wilson's door and tried to open it, but it was locked.
"You can't go in there." House turned and saw the young girl looking at him.
"And why not?" He asked her in his gruff voice, she shrugged.
"'Cause, our mum's in there talking to Dr Wilson about something."
"Your mum?" The girl raised her eyebrows so he could see them and nodded speaking slowly.
"Our mum, that's what I said."
"Sorry, couldn't understand you. You see the two missing teeth make it difficult." He sneered at her shutting her up, but the boy spoke now.
"What's wrong with your leg?" House looked at the boy and took a minute to reply.
"Crocodile bite." This got both kids attention as the girl looked up at him once more, feeling uneasy he sat in the seat opposite them, the girl's mouth was open so wide he thought it would touch the floor.
"Really?"
"Yup. Was in the Amazon a few years back and was camping near the river. This one morning I was down washing my face when next thing you know this croc jumps out and grabs my leg trying to pull me down. But I wrestled with him until I grabbed a stick and was able to hit him on the head making him let me go." He looked at the ceiling once he was finished and he heard the children exhale.
"You wrestled with a crocodile? Awesome!" House looked at the kids and nodded to the door to Wilson's office.
"So your mum's in there, where's your dad?" The little girl spoke quickly.
"In there with her." The boy scoffed and shook his head.
"No he's not."
"Is."
"Not."
"Is."
"Not,"
"Is."
House watched the interaction before the young boy turned to him. "Do you know if Dr Wilson has any children?" House laughed.
"I can safely say he does not, well none I know about anyway."
"See!" The boy cried triumphantly to his sister, House watched her sulk. She reminded him so much of her. The same brown wavy hair, the same button nose, the same pout look, and the boy shared them with her. He knew the eyes would be the sealing point, if they had those same blue/green eyes that he lost himself in so many times, the same eyes he let go. Shaking the thoughts from his head he asked them.
"What are your names?" Once again it was the girl who answered first.
"Lillianna Cameron, Lilley for short and this is my brother Christopher Cameron."
"Chris." The boy corrected her but House wasn't listening. Cameron. That long forgotten name. Swallowing, he gently nodded.
"Nice names. So who's your mother?" Chris answered him for once.
"She's a doctor, head of imm…immu…immunology in New York." The boy struggled to pronounce the word and House almost smiled.
"Does she not have a name?" He didn't need for them to say it, he already knew, still Chris answered him all the same.
"Allison Cameron."
