Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the storyline. If I owned House, would I be sat here writing this fan fic?
Chapter Four.
Over the next week and a half House and Cameron had an odd relationship, only having sex three times they spent the rest of time, sneaking around so Chase and Foreman did not discover them. They talked for long periods of time, had dinner together, went swimming, and saw some sights. However this was the last night of their trip. House sat on Cameron's bed watching her wait for him to talk.
"Alison, I've enjoyed these two weeks, I really have, but this can't continue once we return to work." He looked at her sadly.
"I know. I knew this was coming, it was inevitable really wasn't it?" She smiled and he nodded. "So when we return to work, nothing will be said, no teasing, or snide remarks?"
House grinned. "Well I have to tease, otherwise the boys may get suspicious. Right well I have to go and finish packing" He stood up to leave, grabbing his cane. Cameron stood up with him and whispered.
"House?" He turned around and she leaned into him kissing him forcefully with passion. After a few minutes both were out of breath she pulled away. "Goodbye." He nodded awkwardly and left her room. Cameron sighed, tears stinging her eyes falling back onto the bed she let them fall, consuming her entire being.

Two weeks later the gang were sat around the office table mulling over the paperwork they had, having just finished a case the ducklings were snowed under doing House's paper work. Chase sat down passing Cameron a coffee; she looked at it and immediately felt queasy. Standing up she covered her mouth and ran from the room. Foreman and Chase exchanged glances, and five minutes later Cameron re entered the room. Foreman offered her some water. "Still being sick?" Cameron nodded. "Maybe you should go see Cuddy, she could check you out, actually make sure your ok seen as you wont let either of us do it." Cameron opened her mouth to protest but Chase stood up defending Foreman.
"The guys right Cameron, it could be nothing, but it could be serious. Go see Cuddy." Cameron felt tears sting the corners of her eyes and she couldn't control them, they fell drastically fast from her eyes, Foreman handed her a tissue and put his arm around her, she sniffled wiping her tears.
"You guys are so nice. I don't even know why I'm crying, Ok I'll go see Cuddy, I'm so sorry." She wiped her eyes free of the make up she was wearing to leave only puffy red eyes. She made her way slowly out of the office towards Cuddys office. Chase turned to Foreman.
"Diagnosis?"
Foreman sighs. "As if you don't already know."

Cameron knocked lightly on the glass door; Cuddy looked up and smiled gesturing for Cameron to enter. As she did Cuddy realised that her young employee had been crying.
"Alison are you alright?"
Cameron got a whiff off Lisa's pot of dried flowers on her disk and immediately vomited into the garbage can. Looking up she wiped her mouth.
"Lisa I think I'm pregnant."
Cuddys mouth dropped and Cameron's eyes produced fresh rivers of tears, stepping forward Cuddy pulled her arms around Cameron soothing her. After a few moments when the tears had subsided Cuddy sat them both down on the couch and wiped Cameron's eyes.
"Who's the father?"
Cameron looked up at Cuddy. "Greg."
"Greg?" Realisation dawned on Cuddys face. "House? Oh dear lord Alison. How?"
For the next ten minutes Cameron explained everything that had happened between them in Australia, Cuddys face turned from shock, to grossed out to sympathetic within minutes. Finally Cameron finished and Cuddy was able to talk.
"Hunni, you have to tell him."
"I can't Lisa, I can't!" She shook her head violently from side to side.
"He has a right to know. You know he does."
"I can't tell him just yet, let me wait, wait till I start showing. Please don't tell him." Cameron looked at Cuddy for support.
"I wont tell him. So are you keeping the baby?"
She nodded. "I don't believe in abortion. It's a life Lisa."
Cuddy smiled, and hugged Cameron tightly. Who began crying once more. "What's the matter?"
"I'm so happy!" Cuddy laughed and then escorted Cameron to the maternity ward to make absolutely sure she was pregnant.

As they both left examine room three, they came face to face with Foreman and Chase. Chase smiled. "I knew it."
Foreman laughed and hugged Cameron. "How far gone are you?"
Before Cameron could answer Cuddy jumped in "She's only three weeks gone!"
Letting go of her Foreman asked Cameron the question they all knew the answer to. "Who's the father?" She just looked at him and they all nodded. "Australia?" This time it was her turn to nod. "When are you going to tell him?"
Cameron's eyes widened and she shook her head. "I'm not, well not just yet anyway, wait till I start showing, please you guys are sworn to secrecy ok?" Foreman and Chase exchanged looks once more and Cameron reached out and pinched them both on the arm. "Promise?"
"Ow!" They both said in unison grabbing their arms and nodding.
Cuddy randomly giggled and the three doctors looked at her and she smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, I'm so excited." Cameron laughed and hugged her and then pulled Foreman and Chase into the hug.

That night Cameron lay in bed thinking over the situation in her mind. She reached over to the phone and picked it up speed dialling House's number, as he answered she lost her bottle and hung up. Looking back at the ceiling she sighed and picked up a remote, turning the CD player on. The song that began to play brought tears to her eyes. The first song that she had shared with him, he had comforted her, protected her, and made her feel safe. The tears fell gently from her eyes.
In the morning, when I wake dear, Though I'm far dear, though were parted,
Your memory comforts me.
In the darkness, when I'm frightened,
I can see in my dreams.
I know that time can change nothing.
So if you feel afraid, and if your hope is gone,
Just remember all these things I promise you.
She rested her hands gently on her stomach and rubbed it softly, thinking about the miracle that was pregnancy. Inside her she had a piece of not only herself, but the man who made her feel whole, complete.
I will move heaven, As I sail through, stormy seas dear,
I will move hell and earth to be where you are.
I will move heaven,
And it might take my life,
It might take forever,
But I promise you.
You come to still my heart.
As I walk through, a path of danger,
You lead me through the dark.
As she rubbed softly she spoke quietly to her stomach. "We will be ok. You and me, we can make it threw this, just you and mommy. You don't need a daddy, I'll be strong enough for both of us."
Though I'm far dear, and though were parted, I will move heaven,
I know that time can change nothing.
So if you feel alone, and if your faith is gone,
Just remember all these things I promised you.
I will move hell and earth to be where you are.
I will move heaven,
I will move hell and earth to be where you are.
I will move heaven,
And it may take this life,
It may take forever,
I promise you.
I promise you.
The tears fell more freely now from her eyes and she cooed gently to her baby. "I promise you, I promise you I will be strong. I'll be strong for you."
