A Baby?
Chapter 7
"Well this looks all too familiar." Cameron said sitting down in the same table.
"I thought we should try again at this," House explained. "Should I compliment your earrings again," He joked. They didn't go as far as to order the same meals though. House looked over his menu and say Cameron yet again admiring the corsage on her chest. "It's nice to know that that will never fail."
"Don't get the wrong idea it wont work for every occasion." She teased.
"I'll cross that bridge when I come to it." Silence fell between them and just like before.
"Okay House, what is the main purpose of this dinner?" She asked.
"Why would you think there is an ulterior motive for this?" He tried the innocent face but it didn't work on Cameron.
"Because you always have one." She said calmly.
"True." He said.
"Well….then what is it?" She asked. House looked serious for a moment, his lips bunching together at the side of his face. Making him look as though he were seriously contemplating something but was unsure if it should pass through his lips.
"What do you expect of me?" He asked instead of answering her question. Cameron was taken aback at his statement. She thought for a moment before she answered.
"Honestly, nothing. I want you to at least acknowledge the baby as yours but to actually be a father to the child I know that's not what you want," She sighed and looked intently into his eyes. "What I want, is for you to be a father to him or her. To spend time. I'm not saying that we have to be together or live together. But this baby deserves to know you." After she said this she looked relieved but still in a state of anxiousness. House was quiet for a moment.
"I didn't ask for this baby, it actually is your fault for not telling me. Though it's my fault for not asking. This is going to happen, it doesn't matter anymore what happened that night, except for the fact that it happened and we're having a baby. The truth is I would feel a lot more comfortable if I was with you during the pregnancy, I want you to live with me."
House got uncomfortable with what he had just said. He wasn't sure when he took her that he was actually going to ask her. She looked incredulous because even though Wilson warned her she never thought House would say it.
"So you're saying you don't want any relationship with me but you want me to live with you?"
"You shouldn't be alone if you're pregnant." He said very professionally. "You don't know what could happen."
"House, you know me. Do get me back you had to go out on a date with me. Do really think I'm going to move in with you, if you want nothing to do with me?" At this point her anger was showing.
House was panicking on the inside. He didn't know how to fix the mess he had just made with Cameron.
"Can't it be enough now that I want you to move in with me? Yeah you have Wilson but he can't be there all the time." He tried to ague.
"There's a couple things you pick up when you work at Princeton House, and that if you were going to pick a more reliable person it would be Wilson." She hated being mean and attacking his pride but she wanted him for the right reasons.
"What do you want from me?" He asked exasperated.
"I told you, I want you to be a father. You know what I want with us, I want to be with you for no reason that I can fathom and I'm sick and tired of your resistance. I'm sick of gaining an inch but then the next day you run a mile away. I'm sick of you hating your life but refusing to make it better."
"Anything else you're sick of?" House asked in a raised voice. "Is my hair not thick enough?" At this point everyone in the restaurant was looking at them but neither seem to notice or care.
"I'll will say little more on the subject because even though I know you to be oblivious to the feelings of other Wilson will clue you in. I love you, I'm having your child. At the very least I deserve more respect then you're giving. I've loved you for 4 years and I'll probably still care for you years after. But I wont wait until you get out of you own way and see it." She grabbed her purse and walked out.
"Well that went just as well as last time, except this time you were berated." The waiter said to him. House looked surprised that it was the same waiter.
