Chapter 10

Cameron woke with a bang... literally. She had awoken, somewhat startled, and she fell out of her chair, falling to the floor. This immediately woke House up, and he laughed.

"Shut up..." mumbled Cameron rubbing her head.

"Sorry," said House still laughing, "How did you... fall...?" He laughed.

"I don't know... I'm sure you'd have done the same if you'd been sleeping in a chair all night!" She looked up at him, and began making her way back to the chair.

"Correction, I would never spend the night in a chair."

"Yeah... funny thing... WHY DID YOU let me fall asleep, let alone STAY ASLEEP in that chair ALL NIGHT?"

House had to lie. "I fell asleep too, didn't even know."

Cameron laughed. "You were wide awake last I remember."

Crap, he'd been caught. House just shrugged and bit his lip as Wilson walked in with Alysa.

"Hey Jimmy." House's eyes widened. "Forget to tell me you were taking care of my kid?"

Wilson avoided looking at House. "Cuddy asked me to... I just.. I..."

"Relax, will you?" House took Alysa from Wilson and smiled down at her. "Why isn't she with Cuddy? I thought she called mornings?"

"Cuddy... is still asleep." Wilson smiled and left House and Cameron with... wait... House. And Cameron. Why was Cameron in House's room already? Okay then... Note to Wilson: Find out why Cameron spent the night (probably) with House.

Cameron sat up in her chair and looked down at Alysa. She was simply perfect! Just like her Daddy...

"I have clinic duty..." mumbled Cameron, saddened. She didn't want to leave them.

"You can stay, you know?"

"What?"

"Well, we don't have any cases, and clinic hours don't take ALL day..."

Cameron urged him on.

"You can stay until Cuddy wakes up... yunno... just so you can see Alysa... and..."

Cameron smiled and pecked Alysa on the forehead. House noticed this instantly. Cameron stood up and walked towards the door.

"I'll be back later to grab Alysa..."

House was totally confused. Did she want him to herself? Or... wait... what was going on? Cameron left with a flirtasious smirk on her face. House's eyebrows raised.

Cameron met Wilson in the Clinic. Appearantly he had no patients that morning, and he was deciding to do clinic duty at the EXACT same time as her...

"What were you doing in House's room this morning?" asked Wilson curious.

"Boy, you're subtle." She smirked, "What were YOU doing volunteering to take care of Alysa?" She walked off to Exam Room 1. It was SO not over... for either of them.
