Chapter 3
"Do you believe in farytales Aunty Ally?" Andrea said as she looked up from where she played with barbies with her sister.
"Yes I do actually" she lied as she looked up from the book she was reading. "I believe that every girl will find her prince charming, and that there are big castles where kings, queens, princes and princesses live and they wear long gowns and dresses and crowns" Cameron smiled when Andrea seamed pleased with the answer.
"Have you met your prince charming Aunty Ally?" Maya said as she redressed her doll.
"I don't know actually" Cameron said sadly.
"Why not?" Andrea and Maya looked at her confused.
"Because there are so many prince charming's in the world that it's hard to know which one is just your prince charming" Cameron explained. "Your mother found her prince charming" Cameron said as an example to where someone found their 'one'.
"Really!?" they both exclaimed. "Who?" their eyes were wide with excitement.
"Your dad"
"Daddy's is no prince charming!" Andrea protested, and wrinkled her nose.
"Yes I am" said a voice behind Cameron.
"Daddy!" the both girls screamed as they ran up to their father. "Daddy I missed to so much! This much!" Andrea said and pulled her arms out as long as she could.
"Wow, that much?" Trevor asked sounding surprised. "Why that much?" he asked.
"Because it's saturday stupid" Maya said with a smile.
"And what is it with saturday? It's just a day, just like monday is, and tuesday and-" he was cut off by Andrea.
"Because we get to eat candy!" she said to him like he was stupid, and Trevors mouth fell open in surprise, and it looked just like the one he used when he mocked Danny.
"You do?" his eyes grew wide when they nodded. "Well then you have to eat really good so that you can eat all that candy" he warned, and they nodded. "Good, now play with your dolls, ok?"
"Okay!" they both said with smiles, and Trevor turned to her.
"Thank you for watching them" he said, and walked into the kitchen, Cameron followed with her big stomach, 7 months and even she who was a doctor got a little surprised that it would actually get bigger.
"Ah, I love them, it's okay when they are pleased to play with the dolls" she shruged it off, and sat down in the nearest chair in the kitchen. Trevor smiled.
"How is dad?" he asked, ever since Trevor and Danny got engaged dad had insisted that Trevor would call him dad, or not talk to him at all, it was an eaisy choice.
"He's okay... stubborn, but he's out of bed still... so that's good" she smiled. "But I don't think he'll stay in bed even when he has to."
"Me neither, that man is the most stubborn man I've ever met" Trevor laughed, and unpacked the stuff that he'd bought while being out.
"But how's Danny feeling?" Danny had catched the flu a few days earlier, to avoid that the kids would catch it, they stayed at Cameron's mom and dads house
"She's starting to feel a bit better, but she's still a bit bad"
"Well that's good" Cameron smiled, and her cell phone rang again, she ignored it, the tune told her who it was. "What did you buy?" she asked, and walked over to the counter.
"Eh some vegetables, meat that mom asked for, beer that both your mom and dad asked for, the chips you asked for, some other things you and mom asked for and ice cream that I thought we could have for desert since we haven't had desert for a while, and some candy, but don't tell them where I hid it" he said and looked around the corner to see if they'd heard him, and he then put it in the topshelves (it would be a miracle if they reached it without killing themselves), and Trevor smiled misheviously. "Aren't you going to answer that?" he asked as he started to get anoyed with the ringing.
"No" Cameron said and grabed her chips.
"Why not?" Trevor frowned.
"It's either Chase, Foreman, Wilson or House... I don't want to talk to them" Trevor nodded, but still walked up to the phone, and he answered it.
"Hello" he said and looked over to Cameron's angry face and instantly regretted what he'd done. "I'm her brother inlaw" he said angrily into the phone. And Cameron sighed as she looked out into the livingroom, and frooze. "No she's not here"
"Maya! What happend?" she yelled, and walked up to Andreas lifeless body that Maya was just staring at. "Maya!" she yelled, "tell me!" Maya started to cry, and pointed at one of the small peices that had came loose from the doll house. "Oh my god" she said and quickly checked her breathing, she tried to get the peice out, but it was stuck.
"Trevor! Call 911!" she yelled.
-----------
Cameron sat next to Trevor who sat next to Danny, Danny was half crying, and Cameron and Trevor were looking out into space in shock. Maya was asleep in Trevors lap, and Philip and Jimmy were sleeping in their carseats. Their mom and dad were trying to get them into Andreas room.
What happend?
They keept asking themselves, why did it happen?
Cameron rubbed her eyes, she was tired, but everytime she closed her eyes she saw Andreas face that got bluer and bluer, and suddenly pale. She thought she was scared before, this was nothing like it, she couldn't believe what Trevor and Danny was feeling.
She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, trying hard not to fall asleep, but she lost that battle.
She was woken up by her father 20 minutes into her sleep, he demanded that she was going home with him and Gabrielle, she agreed after a small fight.
When they got home she fell asleep as soon as she laid down on her bed, she felt guilty when she woke up by her phone ringing, she tried to remember why she kept the phone on.
"Hello?" she answered with tiredness evident in her voice, and the baby kicked in her stomach as she did so.
"Nice of you to answer" she tried to place the voice, she closer her eyes and tried to think. "I've been getting complains from a sertain someone that you aren't answering your phone" suddenly her eyes flew open.
"Cuddy!" she exclaimed, and suddenly realised what she'd done.
"You don't have to scream"
"Sorry"
"Don't worry" Cuddy sighed on the other end. "How is it going over there?" she could hear someone talk in the backround, probably a doctor or her assistant.
"It's okay I guess" she answered dinn't want to go in on it too much after her outburst to House.
"How's your father?" she asked, sounding a bit distracted.
"He won't take his meds..." she could hear that Cuddy stoped doing something with the papers on what could've been her desk.
"He doesn't?" Cuddy sounded really surprised.
"Yeah" she sighed and tried to get up, something that was almost impossible. "He has- about - 2 to 5 months left..." it was hard trying to speak the same time as getting out of bed.
"Ok... are you okay?" Cuddy asked concerned.
"Yeah I'm just- stuck" she gave up, the bed was too low, so she sat where she were, and would have to wait for someone to check on her.
"Just give them to House... tell him I sent them... I don't care" Cameron listened to Cuddy's voice and wished she would just tell her why she called so she could get a better try to get out of this bed. "Uh... I was wondering if you could get back to work earlier?" Cuddy said after a while.
"How much are we talking about?" she asked, and looked down at her stomach and whimpered.
"Maybe in... eh 2 weeks?" the hopefulness in her voice made it hard for Cameron to turn down, but in no way she could work.
"No... I would want to stay with my dad... I won't be seeing him so much soon" Cameron sighed, tears were welling up in her eyes, she hated hormones, and suddenly a sobb came out of no where.
"Allison... Daniella wants to talk to you" her dad stood in the doorway holding a phone to his chest.
"I'm sorry Cuddy but I have to go..."
"Wait, Cameron, are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine" she said, and wipped away a few tears.
"You don't sound fine"
"Yeah it's just much going on... my neice was brought into the ER yesterday... and speaking of that, I have to talk to my sister..."
"Okay... but will you call me later?"
"When I get time yeah"
"Bye"
"Bye"
She ended the call and changed phone, on the other phone she got good news, they could bring Andrea home, Cameron smiled, happy news yes, now she just needed an even better explaination for Cuddy for not wanting to come back to work.
-------------------------
"Can we get ice cream?" Maya asked from the backseat, she was jumping up and down telling her sister everything that happend yesterday, Andreas eyes were wide with astonishment.
"Of course! We have to celebrait!" Trevor smiled into the rerveiw, and Cameron shook her head. "What kind of ice cream do you want?" he asked.
"Choclate!" Maya screamed. "Strawberry!" Andrea screamed.
"Okey dokey" Trevor said, and trew a fist in the air. "What does Aunty Ally want?"
"Hm... I think I want melon" she smiled at Trevor.
"I never get how people can like melon..." he shook his head.
"What do you want daddy?" Andrea asked.
"Oh I want choclate like little Maya over here"
"I'm not little!" Maya protested. "I turn 6 this year!" she smiled and two teeths were missing in the front.
"Okay okay, I'm sorry, like big Maya then?"
"Yes! Like BIG Maya" she smiled and tured to Cameron. "Aunty Ally, do you want to know what my teachers in school call me?" Cameron nodded. "Silly!" she laughed, and Cameron and Trevor laughed, but they didn't get it, neither did Andrea.
"I don't get it" Andrea said with a shrug on her shoulders.
"What is it that you don't get?" Maya like it was the most obvious thing in the world that everyone would get it.
"Why they call you silly, and why it is so funny..." Andrea explained.
"Well, I'm so silly in school so they call me silly so often" Maya explained, and Trevors laugh suddenly echoed through the car.
"Sorry" he said, and did his 'oops' face. It facinated Cameron on how many faces he did in just one hour, he probably did one in every sentence.
They turned off the road and drove into a small ice cream bar. After ordering they sat down and ate their ice creams at a blue and white table. Andrea kept telling them story's about the nurses and doctors, and Maya kept telling her what happend when the ambulance came, soon they were both sick of their story's and ran off to play in a corner of the ice cream bar that was reserved for children.
"Danny told me that you are meating with the adoptive parents again tomorrow..." he said to her as his eyes kept looking back ad forwards between her and Maya and Andrea.
"Yeah, they're so great... It's hard to find such nice people" she said while tracing pattarns on the broken surface of the tables.
"I bet" he said with a smile, and looked at Maya who was starting to climb a small wall with holes in it. "How old are they?"
"Just a couple of years older then me, around your age" she shruged. "They think it's strange that a woman that is in her thirties is giving up her baby... they thought I would be a teen or in my early twenties" she looked at him sadly. "I just hope that this kid won't judge people like them... I mean they don't mean it... but it hurts" she looked over to Andrea and Maya. "They may not say it, but it is in their eyes" she looked over to Trevor again. "Just like in yours... all of you" she looked down again, ashamed by her confession.
"Maybe we should get home" he said then, and stood up to get Maya and Andrea, and they drove home in silence.
The next day Danny called her, beging for forgivness.

"Do you want to know if it's a boy or a girl?" Cameron asked as she sat in their livingroom. It felt strange for her to sit in the apartment that her child would grow up in, but she would probably never step her foot in again.But the apartment was great, they'd shown her where the baby would stay, they'd had it ready for years, just waiting for a baby to move in. The colours on the walls were mild, and there were no hard edges on furtniture and other things, they were more then prepered.
"No, no we want to wait until it's born" David said with a slight laugh, nervous Cameron noted. They weren't close, Cameron had a hard time with these people, they were going to take the one thing that she wanted, the one thing she couldn't have, if she had what she wanted, she would have to give up on something else, even if she told House now, she would never be able to look into his eyes. Not that she thought she would now either.
"Okay, good" Cameron said and nodded. She took a deap breathe, looked at Kathyn and David, studied their apperance. Kathryn had long curley blond hair and deap brown eyes, David had brown hair and dark blue eyes, almost black, both of them were tall. If this baby would get House's blue eyes and her height, there would be no way to fool many people that this child was actually theirs.
"I was just wondering, what are you going to do after the baby's born?" Kathryn asked, and curiousity shone in her eyes.
"I'm going to stay here for 4 more months and then I'm going back to New Jersey" she said simply, nodded.
"What do you work with?" David asked they were obviously trying to figure out her life.
"I'm a doctor" they were going to raise her child, they would have the right to know, they nodded and smiled.
"I was wondering, what kind of person the father was... I mean if you remember..." Kathryn asked.
"Oh... he's quite sarcastic, stubborn, smart, handsome, curious... he loves pussles and... he's caring about the people he know" she just realised she had summoned up House in one sentence, though it was pretty roughly done. "He's a doctor too, a brilliant doctor"
"Oh-ok" they both nodded, and Cameron smiled. Tension back in full force.
