Chapter 7- Complete Annihilation
Light pouring through the window spilled across House's face, disrupting his peaceful dreams. House yawned and stretched. Arching his back his body came in contact with something. Someone. House's eyes flew open and he stared at the petite frame he had his arms protectively wrapped around. House smiled gently as he watched her chest rise and fall in her sleep. The way she wrinkled her nose against the bright sunlight on her face. Settling back down under the duvet he pulled Cameron's body closer to his, telling himself that he was cold and needed warmth. Closing his eyes he slipped into sleep as his senses filled with the smell of vanilla.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cameron slowly opened her eyes, looking straight into the eyes of the one man who could make her knees shake.
Cameron gave House a small smile. House returned the favour with his cute half smile. House watched as Cameron's smile grew into the one he'd always loved.
They lay like that, side by side, not saying a word for a few minutes before House broke the silence.
"Umm, do you want a coffee?", he grunted.
She leaned over and captured his lips in her own.
House began to pull back but something stopped him. He began to kiss back, deepening the kiss. As they kissed House felt Cameron sigh and a quick thought across his head hoped it was in happiness.
When they finally broke apart they laid back down, side by side, not saying anything.
Impulsively, Cameron reached over and placed her hand in House's.
House jerked at the sudden human contact but didn't move away.
House stared into Cameron's eyes which were a piercing as his own. He held her gaze until something caught his eye.
House looked down at their entwined hands and stared at the objects that had caught his attention. He watched as the sunlight sprinkled over their hands warming them and catching the light on their matching wedding rings.
House awoke to a bright light on his face. Groaning he rolled over and dug his head under the pillow.
He laid under the blankets hiding from life when his sinuses were attacked once again with the smell of vanilla.
House unburied his head and looked up. Cameron was standing next to the bed trying to juggle a tray of food and a mug of coffee.
She smiled gingerly at him and handed him the mug.
House accepted it taking a mouthful of perfect coffee. House watched as Cameron placed the tray lavished with food on the bedside table.
"Here", Cameron sighed, "I know you're hung-over so hopefully this will help. Not that you deserve it!"
House cocked his head and stared at her as he dug into his breakfast, " Why don't I deserve it?"
Cameron frowned, " You kept me up until 2am waiting for you, and when you do come home you smell strongly of alcohol and pass out on the bed. Plus Bella was very upset, you promised to watch that Care Bear movie with her last night".
House shook his head, " I don't remember. I don't remember anything!"
Cameron watched him strangely, " Are you alright? Do you feel a bit sick?"
She sat on the side of the bed and leaned over, checking his temperature and pulse.
House stared intently at her, her face in such close proximity that her breath on his neck sent tingles down his spine.
"Why can't I remember you?", House murmured.
Cameron brought her head up to stare him eye to eye. Their faces an inch apart her eyes flicked across his face, " You don't remember me?", she asked almost inaudibly.
House shifted and Cameron moved to stand up.
" I remember you, but I don't remember this", he gestured at the two of them.
"What do you mean? Do you mean us?"
Before House could answer a little human cannonball flew into their bedroom and landed in a fit of giggles on the bed.
"I'm here", Bella yelled.
Cameron smiled and grabbed her in a tight hug.
"Did you sleep well Bella?", she asked motherly, placing a kiss on the small child's forehead.
"Yup", Bella replied squirming out of Cameron's arms.
Next thing House knew Bella was wrapping her arms around his neck and placing a kiss on his weathered cheek.
Grabbing a piece on toast from the tray on House's lap she snuggled down under the blankets and switched the TV on cartoons.
Taking a bite of toast she leaned her head against House, giggling at Sponge Bob Square Pants.
House looked down at the adorable child and grabbed his own piece of toast and joined in her laughing.
Cameron smiled at the sight and sighed, it was time to begin Phase 3 but watching House sitting in bed with their 'daughter' watching cartoons she didn't want to be mean.
Cameron shook her head, she had to go through with this, this had to happen before the prank took a full hit.
"Greg", she called.
"Yeah?", came his answer.
Cameron smiled and opened her mouth to say the one sentence every man hates to hear.
"Don't forget our anniversary is tomorrow".
