As soon as Cameron and Evi arrived at the car everything went silent.
"You okay?" Cameron asked worriedly
"Why didn't you tell him?" Evi said softly staring at the dashboard, daring to look up at Cameron's eyes.
"Well ,some things are better out in the open and others are best kept to ourselves for no-one else to know" Cameron said thinking about when House had asked her if she ever lost a baby.
"Oh, sorry" Evi said finally looking up. Now that her eyes were in the light, Cameron could see that tears were brimming the edges of the young girl's eyes.
"Perhaps it would be better if I called your parents and let them know that you're here" said Cameron, finally coming to grips with what she was actually doing.
She knew that if everyone found out, especially House, there'd be questions and people wanting answers.
"Ummm… I guess, but could I stay just a while to talk " said Evi turning towards Cameron, tears slowing cascading down her cheeks.
"Ok" Cameron said in barley a whisper and she started the engine.

As Wilson reached the cafeteria, he saw House waiting for him.
Just as Wilson reached the table and was about to sit down House had already started to fire questions.
"So who's the girl Cameron's with?"
"How am I suppose to know House I haven't seen Cameron all day"
House just cocked his head to one side and said "So the smart little immunologist I saw you talking to before, the one who had tears pouring down her cheeks, you mean to tell me that wasn't Cameron?"
As soon as Wilson shifted slightly in his seat House knew that he had him cornered.
"Fine. Maybe that was Cameron, but I can't tell you," Wilson said avoiding House's piercing blue stare.
"C'mon old buddy, you always tell me your secrets every Friday night, when we do each other's hair"
Wilson just laughed. Why couldn't House a) admit that he liked Cameron and b) keep his nose out of other peoples personal lives.
"House, Im sorry, but I promised Cameron. If your so curious, why don't you just ask her yourself, I mean she's opened up to you before why won't she do it again… wait one sec… I know why, because when you went out on the date with her, the one she said she would only come back to work if it happened…"
House sat up slightly. "What! She practically forced me to go on that date."
"See that's where you're wrong House. You could have chosen not to go out with her but you couldn't because you care so much. Because things didn't feel the same without her. Because..." Wilson took a deep breath, "look House maybe it's because you wanted her so badly in your life and you couldn't have stood by and watched another woman you love walk out of your life."
It took a while for House to reply. He seemed to actually think about what Wilson had said. For a minute it seemed if all his walls were crumbling down, but as soon as he went to talk again they went right back up.
"Maybe it was because she was a good doctor? Did anyone think of that? Or maybe it was because I'm becoming soft with my old age.. you know what? I think I'm gonna take up knitting"
As he finished talking he stood up and started to walk off.
"What about lunch?" Wilson called after him.
"Yeah later, I have to go make a 'House' call." He said as he turned the corner.
