"So how's the patient this week," Cuddy asked Cameron as they got into bed.
"Not doing too well. House is convinced that it's heavy metal poisoning. He also believes that their not happily married. All because they had a threesome. I still believe that a threesome every so seven years or so can help a marriage."
"Really? Are you into that," Cuddy asked curiously.
"Not really. But, if to people really trust each other and things start to go south, it might be just what you need to pick everything back up. But, for right now, I'm very happy with the woman by my side. I love you."
"I love you too. Good night."

Turns out, House was right about the heavy metal poisoning. The wife poisoned him with gold. Cuddy and Cameron watched the wife get pulled out in handcuffs. Cuddy was there as administrator, overseeing her hospital, and Cameron for support. There was no one else there so Cameron didn't have to hide her hand on the small of Cuddy's back. Once the wife was out of the hospital, they looked each other square in the eyes, as if to silently question whither the other would do such a thing. But, the in the next moment, the challenge was gone.

Cameron turned to leave after she paid House for losing the bet. But before she could get into the elevator, she heard the sounds on footsteps and cane.
"Cameron, wait," House called out to her. Catching up to her, he continued, "Where you serious about that threesome comment?"
"House, let it go."
"Nope. Because I find it interesting. So you would have sex with a girl?"
"I never said that it had to be two girls and guy. Good night, House," Cameron said entering the elevator.
"Wait," House replied following her in. "You didn't answer my question. You already did, didn't you? Maybe some college fling or something?"
"That's none of your business."
"Oh my God! You did! Does the person you're sleeping with now know that?"
"What," Cameron asked clenching. If he knew that, he might figure the rest out sooner rather than later.
"Unclench Cameron. And you're happier now. You had to think I would notice. So who is he, or maybe is it a she?"
"I'm not gay, House," Cameron said, only lying slightly. Thankfully the doors open at that moment and she rushed out.
"Everyone lies. Even to themselves. And the answer is yes, I would love to have a threesome with you and your girlfriend."

Luckily, Cameron discovered in their next case that House didn't figure it out. He made a comment about Cuddy not getting any, which was crude, but gave her some relief. She was learning more and more that she didn't like their relationship a secret. She should bring it up to Cuddy soon.

"I want to have a baby," Cuddy said to Cameron as they finally got to go home after Ian's case. Almost losing that boy was taking a toll on her.
"Honey, not now. I'm too tired to have sex," Cameron replied half-jokingly.
"I'm serious. I want to have a baby. I mean I always wanted to have one, just now, I'm getting old. My biological clock is ticking."
"Hun, not to be cruel, but this is a big decision and a big step. Something probably better to talk about when we are both fully rested. I love you, but I'm exhausted. Can we discuss it in the morning?"
"Sure. Good night. I love you too."
Morning came, the discussion never followed.

"So, are you going to tell me what the big secret was between Max and Hannah," Cuddy asked a week later.
"Hannah was going to leave Max. I saw it as an ethical dilemma. House didn't want me near the two of them."
"It was an ethical dilemma. He was in the wrong, again. Wow, that was unexpected though. They seemed happy."
"Lisa, I want us to come out," Cameron said seriously.
"What?"
"Well, Max was there for Hannah even though she was going to leave her. I want to be there for you if you need it. I want everyone to know how much I love you."
"Allison, I thought we discussed this. House will never let us hear the end of it if we come out."
"That's what stopping you? House? That's not a good enough reason. Yes, he'll joke about us being lesbians and watching to watch us have sex, and make more jokes about our breasts and such, but still. He is poor reason to not coming out."
"Look, Allison. It's not just House. I'm not ready, yet. I want us to be completely stable before we throw a monkey wrench in our works. I love you. I want to come out, and declare my love for you in front of the whole world, but not yet. Let's just wait a little bit longer, okay."
"Okay," Cameron agreed. "I love you too."
