Part 11

Cameron and House lounged on the sofa not watching a movie. Noel was out at Kendra's and the two of them were just enjoying some alone time.

Unfortunately for House, something ALWAYS interrupts a good evening.

RING…

"Ignore it." House said.

"Right."

RING…

"Ignore it." House said, sterner this time.

"But-"

"No." He replied, pulling her face back down to his.

RING…

Cameron caved and grabbed the phone, moving back to her side of the couch.

"Hello?" she said. "Hey Wilson."

"This had better be good." House muttered, glaring at the phone in her hand.

"Cameron. I need your help." Wilson's voice said over the phone. "I've got a date with Lisa."

"Lisa as in… Lisa Cuddy?"

"Yes."

"What about Cuddy?" House asked, now interested.

"Shut up Greg. Wilson if you have a date with her, it obviously means she likes you."

"Jimmy's got a date with Cuddy?"

"Shut up Greg."

"But the last time I thought we went on a date, it wasn't a date."

"But what did she say?"

"Yes what did she say?" House asked.

"She asked me to the movies with her."

"Well that seems promising."

"What does?"

"Shut up Greg. A trip to a play or dinner could be between colleagues. This seems like a date."

"Ok. Thanks Cam. I'll see you tomorrow at work."

"Ah-ah. I'm taking the day off tomorrow. It'll be the last day to pack before Disney."

"Well then I'll see you soon. Bye Cameron."

"Bye Wilson."

"Teach you to tell me to shut up." House said, grabbing her wrist.

"Whatcha gonna do cripple?" she shot.

"Oh I'll show you." He said pulling her back into his lap.

Noel readjusted her costume as Cameron curled her hair. She felt Cameron rest her head on her shoulder and smile.

"You look so pretty."

"Thanks Allie." From outside, she heard a horn sound. "That's them!"

"Ok. Have a great time and don't stay out too late."

Noel stopped in the living room and leaned over the back of the couch, giving House a kiss on the cheek.

"Ew! Girl germs!" he snarked.

"Love you too Dad!" she called.

House stared at the front door and sighed. He had missed the years where she would chase him for attention and moved straight into the ones where she could take care of herself. Not that he would have like changing dirty diapers or cleaning up vomit but a part of him wished he could have caught more years with her. And if he got the chance, would he be willing to go through raising child? He shrugged the feeling off as Cameron sat next to him, turning his thoughts to Ocean's 12.
