It was now Christmas day, and the snow from days before had now turned in to a grey mush. Cameron's brother Ben had bought the building he had his eye on and now was guttering the place. He had found an apartment close by his new restaurant was and planned on moving in at the start of the new year, but for now he lived in New York. Ben was to be join House and Cameron for a Christmas dinner at his place.
House awoke to the smell of fresh coffee, and was still amazed how Cameron could get up at seven in the morning and be as quiet as a mouse. House prefered to get up at nine. When Wilson had stayed with him it was like living with a baby elephant. How could one person generate so much noise?
When House made his way to the kitchen Cameron was already showered and dressed.
"Morning" Cameron said, with a pleasant smile.
House replied "How can you be so happy at this hour?"
"Well first of all; it's 9am and second of all it's Christmas. You're meant to be happy on Christmas, or didn't you mother teach you that?"
The day moved on quickly. By eleven am House was also showered and changed. It was then when Cameron was sat on the living room sofa reading Jane Eyre.
House came in to the room with a heart shaped box in a gold ribbon.
Cameron smiled as she looked up with her green-blue eyes and said "I thought we where going to wait for Benny to get here before we did gifts."
House handed Cameron the box and got down on one knee. "Allison Cameron, I love you. I have never loved anyone like this. Will you marry me?"
At first Cameron was taken aback, but she quickly replied "Yes!"
Cameron then opened the box to reveal a white gold ring with a large princess cut in the middle. House slipped into onto her left ring finger for her. It was a perfect fit.
House had always said he thought marriage was a dumb idea, it was just a peice of paper that meant nothing. He knew marriage did mean something to Cameron it meant a lot even if she never said anything.
At five minutes to six pm on the dot, Ben arrived. Cameron opened the door and recieved another bear hug. She was just bursting to tell him the news. Ben then took her hand and looked at the ring.
"Little girl said 'yes', then."
House nodded.
"You knew?" asked Cameron.
"He didn't feel he could ask without my approval."
The evening continued, and the gifts where handed out then House said "I think I forgot something." He left the room, and walked into the backyard. Cameron was too pre occupied to notice what he was doing, until he reentered.
By his side was a black and white Border Collie, a fully grown adult.
House than turned and said "For you."
Cameron ran to the dog and started to stroke it.
House then went on saying "His name is Toby, he is three years old. And toilet trained!"
Cameron was amazed to find that House had managed to change Christmas Day into Cameron Day.
