The next day they managed to sneak into work without being caught by a distraught Cuddy or a pissed Wilson. House assumed all was well with their werewolf reveal and set about making fruit tea.

Coffee did little for him these days. The buzz was minimal and not worth it compared with the horrific taste the black elixir had become as his taste buds developed further. Cameron sat at her desk busying herself with the backlog of emails due to their absence yesterday.

"No, that is not interesting." House grumbled with his back to her still.

"But it's for charity." She said re-reading the invitation to a charity ball.

"My charity is stretched thin enough as it is taking in you and Sway." He said bringing over their tea and sitting on the edge of the desk as he set down her mug and supped at his own.

Cameron glanced at him and smirked before deleting the invitation and picking up her mug.

"Oh goodie." House said without enthusiasm as Chase's scent approached.

"Play nice."

"Do I have to?" He whined and pouted, it was all too easy to remember how he'd tried to touch her those many months ago and the occasional flashbacks he was now privy to of the time she got high and brought him around for a quickie. Those moments had made his blood boil and it took Cameron many touches and much time to sooth him; though the same was true of Cameron if his mind wandered to past sexual exploits too.

"Yes, you do. He stopped wearing his cologne just for you."

"Correction, he stopped wearing it to keep his life and his job." He said looking at her intensely.

"Perhaps… but that doesn't mean you can't play nice." She said rubbing his thigh gently.

"Fine." He growled.

Chase came into the room, his backpack over his shoulder.

"Hey Chase." Cameron said amicably.

"Hey." He said in his Australian tongue. "Where were you guys yesterday?"

"Aw did you miss me?" House jibed.

Chase rolled his eyes and dumped his satchel and hung his coat. "No, we just wondered where you were."

"We were making babies."

Chase pulled a disgusted face, "But Cameron's already pregnant."

"Doesn't mean we can't have sex. Lots and lots of hot sweaty naked pregnant sex." He said grinning.

"Greg." Cameron admonished gently with a slight grin. "We had a meeting with Cuddy in the morning and then we went home early."

"Orgies tend to tire people out." House added grinning. "There's something about horny pregnant women that's just so hot."

Cameron giggled loudly. "Oh shut up."

House grinned and sipped his tea covering her hand with his.

"You still haven't said where you were yesterday." Chase said with a frown and started up the coffee.

"Get the hint, we don't want you to know." House growled gently.

"I just don't get why you're so secretive all of a sudden."

House raised his eyebrows.

"No not you, Cameron." He said with his eyes falling on her. "We used to hang out all the time and now I hardly see you."

House's demeanour changed instantly, growing jealous and protective.

"We hardly see you." Chase continued and House settled once more happy it wasn't about Chase having feelings for his girl, "Team nights just don't happen ever since you two hooked up. It's not us and House any more it's you two and Foreman and I. And it sucks." He growled somewhat unhappy about the situation.

"Aww you don't swing that way? Don't you want to try black and never go back?"

"Shut up, House!" Chase said growing livid; ignoring House he settled his gaze on Cameron. "I just miss the way it used to be. There isn't a team dynamic any more because we don't have a team." He said with a sigh.

She frowned gently. She'd never really thought of what she'd lost by becoming a werewolf only what she'd gained. Cameron looked at him sympathetically. "Things have changed Chase."

"Yeah I know." He said slightly sadly and slumping to his chair at the conference table and starting on his charts.

House squeezed her hand gently able to feel her sadness. To be a werewolf was to walk a lonely path. Of course they could talk to George, Wilson and Cuddy but in truth they felt alone, clinging to each other in a world of nightmares.

"Come on." He said gently and led her into his office.

Chase watched him with a shake of his head. There they go in their own little world, he thought.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." She said curling against him on the couch.

"You wouldn't be here… you wouldn't be a werewolf and you'd probably still be hanging out with Chase." He growled reluctantly.

"I like being a werewolf. I love being so close to you. Forget about Chase and everyone else as long as I have you and our kids have us then everything will be fine." she said hugging him tightly.

"God I love you." He murmured returning her tight embrace and kissing her deeply.

"I love you too." She said returning his kiss longingly, desperate to be as close to him as possible. And they kept kissing even as a familiar scent alerted them to an approaching administrator and still kissing right until she walked in the room.

"Hey Cuddy." House said his eyes still closed.

"How did you…?"

He opened his eyes and turned to her tapping his nose.

"Ah." She said in understanding and nodded closing the door behind her slightly nervously.

"Don't worry." Cameron said softly. "You haven't had any complaints of rampaging werewolves in the past three months; it's not going to happen. And you saw the amount of trouble it took to get Greg to change yesterday."

Cuddy smiled nervously still and sat down on the foot stool to House's easy chair.

"It's just hard to… to cope with really. Though, it's probably nothing compared to what you went through, are going through. I can't help but worry."

"It's not going to happen." House said gently, "Really."

"But your temper, House. What if…?"

"She keeps me under control." He answered, "Wilson told you that."

"What if she's not around when you blow a gasket?"

"She's here," he said pointing to his chest and then his head, "and here. Trust me, the only time I would change at the hospital would be if something was seriously wrong." He said with memories of being shot not so long ago.

"Same goes for me." Cameron added.

Cuddy frowned gently.

"Oh come on… you're saying that if you were in danger you wouldn't want to change into a wolf?" House asked seriously.

"Maybe. I'm just worried about my patients and my staff."

"They'll be fine. Really, there's nothing to worry about."

"I have three werewolves on my staff, how can I not worry about that!" She said with a slight smile.

"George has managed to keep it under wraps for over a year with no problems. Not to mention we clear the clinic out in record time." House said grinning.

"Ah but you do have a hell of a lot of sex afterwards in the exam rooms." Cuddy retorted with a gentle smirk.

"We need it." Cameron said with a grin. "It soothes us and keeps us sane."

"Mostly." House said with his own wicked smile.

"That's true," Cuddy replied with a similar grin. "So you two are okay?"

"Yeah, we're fine." Cameron replied with a gentle smile. "All four of us." She said rubbing her belly gently.

"And that'll happen sooner than we thought." House added covering her hand.

"What?"

"6 to 7 month gestation period for werewolves," He said with a grin.

"Wow, okay. That must have been a bit of a shock."

"You'd think so... but it feels right." Cameron said with a soft smile on her lips, House's face mirroring his mates expression.

Cuddy smiled watching them. "I'm happy you're happy."

House smiled over at her. "Thanks… so can we get a few days off next week."

"What? Why?" Cuddy asked confused.

"Werewolf thing." House answered. "We want to go on a hunt upstate."

"A… a hunt?" she asked nervously.

"For stags Cuddy." House said with a roll of his eyes.

"Oh." She said with a relieved smile. "So how long will you be gone for?"

"Four days. We're leaving Wednesday night. George wants to come too." Cameron answered.

She frowned.

"Oh come on, Cuddy, please?" House begged with a pout and glistening eyes.

She shook her head grinning, "Fine, have fun."

"Thanks mom!" House said excitedly curling closer to Cameron.

Cuddy rolled her eyes. "Don't cause too much trouble."

"Thanks Cuddy." Cameron said gently and snuggled deeper into House's embrace.

Cuddy nodded and left the room with a murmur of, "Get to work you two. You'll be in the clinic later on as well."

"Whey hey the hunt is on." House said pulling Cameron under him and covering her body with his.

"I think you've found what you want." She said grinning.

House smiled and kissed her softly. "I've found all I need for the rest of my life."

"You romantic, you." She said grinning and kissing him deeply.
