A.N. Could someone when they review, mind telling me how long the christmas holidays are in America, because in Australia they are about 8 weeks but that is our long holiday and i need to know how long it is so I can make the time they spend there right. This chapter is a bit of fun and then some sappy bits later on. I hope you have fun reading it.

Pairings- House Cameron (Greg Ally), Wilson Cuddy (Jimmy Lisa), Foreman Becke (Eric Becke), Chase Larie (Robby Larie)

Disclaimer- Christmas is soon but I've already asked for a chair and a few dvd's, some music books and other stuff so maybe next year.

A Pair of Nines

They all loved playing poker so logically strip poker could only be more fun. Greg, Jimmy, Robby, Eric, Ally, Lisa, Talor, Mark, Jazz, Talor's boyfriend Matt and Jazz's boyfriend Alex were all sitting in a circle ready to start playing.

Jimmy dealt the cards, doing it slowly for dramatic effect before Greg yelled at him to get a…well Greg didn't quite use the word flaming move on but it was something close to that. After that he sped up a great deal.

First of all Robby lost. He shed his left shoe. While everyone cheered. Okay, so it wasn't that dramatic but they were all hyped up so everything was funny.

It was late at night and they group of them were at the house next door to Robby's aunt and uncle's which was where the six of them were staying.

By about the eighteenth round, everyone had lost at least one item of clothing, except for Greg. Robby had lost his top and was now sitting with his arms wrapped around his bare torso and Ally had lost her top but luckily had a black crop top on.

They game went on and Robby lost. They all made him stop once he was down to his boxers. They wanted to see under them as much as Robby wanted to show under them. The next person to lose was Talor. They didn't go any further than undies. That was just gross.

Next was Eric then Lisa until only Ally and Greg were left. Ally had picked up after her bad rounds at the start and it was a race to see who would lose the next piece of clothing.

"You go first." Greg said to Ally.

"No you go first!"

"Fine then. Same time. One, two three."

A pair of nines. To be exact, two pairs of nines. Two people with the same cards. The odds on that were astronomical yet it had happened.

Greg and Ally looked at each other and keeping eye contact began to remove their last piece of clothing, their shorts.

Everyone else was starting to feel like they were interrupting something. The stripping pair were removing their shorts slowly, never breaking eye contact.

"Get a room!" Jimmy shouted after about three minutes of their strip tease. This seemed to snap them out of it. Ally blushed when she realised that everyone was looking at them and tried to look everywhere but at the group of curious people.

Greg looked surprised as well but instead of blushing he gave the death glare to everyone until they turned their heads away.

The problem was, when he got to Lisa she cracked up laughing. She didn't know what was so funny about Greg's death glare but she could not help but laugh at it. Once again the six of them ended up lying in the floor laughing.

After Jazz, Talor, Mark, Matt and Alex went home, they all got ready for bed. None of them had any intention of actually sleeping but their pjs were more comfortable then what they were (or more accurately were not) wearing.

Tonight they were sleeping in bunk beds. Ally was on top with Lisa underneath, Jimmy was on top and Greg was underneath and Robby was on top with Eric underneath.

When they were lying in bed, Lisa made a joke that Ally and Greg wouldn't be able to spend a night apart.

Ally and Greg took this seriously and a fight started up.

"I can go a night without Greg, I'm not that pathetic."

"I don't think you can." Jimmy teased.

"Are you saying I'm pathetic?" Ally shot at him.

"No, I just don't think you can go a night without Greggy in your arms," he said in a sooky voice while hugging himself slowly. "I also don't think that Greg can last either."

" I can so!" Greg yelled. "We'll prove it." He looked at Ally and they nodded. "Tonight we will not spend together."

"Yeah, coz this is so far away from each other." Eric said sarcastically.

Greg poked his tongue out at him.

It was about 1:00 in the morning. Everyone else was asleep but Ally couldn't get to sleep. She knew why but she didn't want to stoop to that level. It was one night. She could manage. Hopefully.

An hour later she knew if she wanted to get some sleep at all she would have to. She slowly climbed out of her bed and walk across the room to his. She pulled open the sheets and settled down into her usual position on his chest.

She loved lying like this. She could hear his heartbeat, and she could feel it through her body, joining hers, making a beautiful song. Underneath her, Greg shifted and pulled her closer to him.

Mumbling under his breath he said, "Thank god, I thought I was going have to come over there and get you."

He lifted up her chin to bring her face to face with him. Slowly inching together, their lips met in a slow, gentle kiss. It was short, nothing too spectacular but it helped Ally completely relax against him and a few minutes later she fell asleep.

He lay there for a few minutes, focusing on the beating of Ally's heartbeat mixing with his. He loved the feel of her pressed against him, her silky hair beneath his rough hand and the soft skin of her hip on the palm of his hand.

It didn't take him long to get to sleep, he hadn't been able to before Ally came. The last thing he remembered before he went to sleep was their heartbeats, beating together, making a beautiful song.

"Don't leave me." He whispered.
