AN: Alrighty, as I said in my fic, The History of Cadley, this is one of my last House FF—for right now…I'm sure I'll get inspiration sometime somewhere, but for right now, History, this one and a requested sequel will be the last…I just need to explore some new characters, some fantastical storylines…I also need to work on my own work, haha! Also, I know I said that I would continue this one throughout the next year, but I've decided that's not going to happen either…I have a bit of a plan and where I'm going to end it is a good spot, I feel. No worries if you really like this one, it's not ending now. So…I'm sure you're bored of me babbling and want to just continue on… Here you are:
Allison came home exhausted. She pinched the bridge of her nose as she leaned against the front door of their apartment and slid down a little bit. She heard mumbling from their bedroom, but couldn't move to get up.
"It's for the good of hot lesbian doctors? What the fuck are you talking about?...No, I will not just say thank you for giving me the morning off...What?—Okay..bye."
Remy walked down from their bedroom. She was ready for bed in her giant ass shirt and no pants and the only thing missing was her blonde fiancée. She peered over to the kitchen but didn't see anyone as she walked. She knit her brows together as she got to the couch to see if she collapsed there…not the first time that would have happened.
"I'm right here." Allison said as she looked up to see Remy stand straight from leaning over, trying to see where she was.
Remy turned around and sighed at her fiancée, "Baby…" she walked over, locked the door and knelt down, "What happened?" She asked, "It's three in the morning…"
"Five car pile-up." That was all the explanation needed.
"Why didn't you call? I would've come in and helped." Remy reached out and traced her girlfriend's face.
"No…" She yawned, "It's fine…all that matters is that I get to sleep in tomorrow." She grinned up at her girlfriend who was giving a questioning look, "Cuddy gave me the morning off since I worked like a triple today."
"Come on." Remy straight her legs that were falling asleep from kneeling for so long, and offered her hand to the blonde, "Let's go to sleep."
"Who were you talking to?" Allison tried to gesture towards their bedroom as they walked.
"House just called and woke me up…he said that I had the morning off, but he didn't tell me why…" She pulled Allison into a hug as they stopped at the doorway, "He said it was for the good of hot lesbian doctors…" She grinned. "I know why now…He also knows it's our anniversary."
"No it's not…" Allison may have been tired, but she knew the date. She gave Remy a look as she took off her scrubs and stared longingly at her PJs but couldn't muster the effort to put them on.
Remy grabbed Allison's shorts, sat her down and put them on her for her, "Yes huh." Remy said like a kid. Then took her fiancée's shirt and did the same. "It's Valentine's day!"
"I know…We didn't start dating until you asked me out on that Friday…the 18th." Allison said.
"How can you be so freaking tired, but your brain be functioning at this pace?" Remy asked her as she laid the blonde down and covered her with their quilt before turning off the lamps and getting on her side.
"It's a gift….Why would you possibly think that our anniversary is Valentine's day?" Allison asked as she turned around to Remy.
Remy sat up in the dark and grabbed her knees, "I don't know…It's just what I've always considered…our beginning." She said softly, with a hint of sadness.
"Honey…" Allison looked at her, "Why?"
"Cause it's the night that you told me that you were ready for me." She slid back down on the bed to be sideways face to sideways face with her everything. "Not to mention the first night we kissed…"
Allison blinked back a swarm of immediate tears. She knew it wasn't because she was tired, she would have teared up at that no matter what…she knew she was guilty of over-emotion. She took Remy's cheek in her hand and pulled her fiancée to her, "Remy…" She kissed her tenderly. There was no tongue or teeth; it was just lips. She kissed her once more before she said, "I love you."
"I love you too." Remy grinned at her.
"Tomorrow's our anniversary." She said. "Executive decision."
Remy laughed, "Yay! We're the corniest couple alive! Valentine's day is our anniversary!"
~0~0~0~0~
The next morning went by much the way House wanted it to…the hot lesbian doctors were…doing good for each other all over the place. The afternoon came and both of them worked short shifts, then they headed home.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey…" Remy asked as she walked into the locker room, "Just where do you think you're going?" She asked Allison, who seemed to be in a hurry to get out of there.
"Oh sorry…I thought you might have been House or Chase…" she rolled her eyes.
"Um…Yeah, I can see how you would get that from my clacking shoes and deep man voice…" Remy said.
Allison grinned, "Hey, I don't know what Chase does in his spare time anymore…" The blonde wrapped her hands around Remy's neck.
"That was funny. You just implied that Chase cross-dressed more than J. Edgar Hoover…" Allison gave her a look, "What? I'm not saying that Hoover did actually crossed…I just like to use the allegedly true, but more so urban legend as a reference…and I can't really slip that in to casual conversation…I've tried."
"Oh, baby…" Allison said all sweet and Cameron like, then immediately turned to a dry tone, "I know you have…"
Remy looked straight on at a locker. She pursed her lips then slouched a little as Cameron laughed in her ear. "What are we doing tonight?" Allison asked.
"Having sex. Duh. It's Valentine's…you know the three words everybody wants to hear on Valentine's, Baby….we both know those three words lead to sex."
Allison gave her a look, "No they don't…" Then looked to the side with a smirk and back to her, "Well not all the time…"
"Uhhh….I'm pretty sure every time either one of us has said them, we're having the hanky pank…" Remy looked at her.
"What three words are you thinking of?" Allison asked.
"Let's get naked." Remy gave her a 'duh' look, "What were you thinking?"
Allison chuckled silently to herself in remembrance of the first move they ever watched together. She closed her eyes and leaned into Remy then looked at her, "I love you."
"I love you too…what were you thinking?" Remy looked down, "You were thinking…you were thinking I love you…Gotchya!" Remy put it all together at Allison's reaction.
She pulled from Allison and gave her a kiss to her forehead. She went to her locker and checked her phone then text someone and put it in her pocket. She turned around, rubbed her nose, grabbed her bag and shut her door.
"Who was that?" Allison asked.
"Nothing Baby..let's go." Remy said in a hurried tone and gestured for the door.
"Rem?" Allison gave her a disbelieving look. Remy looked at her innocently, "Nevermind." Maybe she was thinking too much about her actions of the passed couple minutes.
She took Remy's offered hand and they went on to Remy's car. They threw their bags in the back and Remy turned the car on, "Oh shit!" She hissed. "I forgot…" She turned to Allison. "I need to do something. It'll only take like ten minutes, do you mind waiting?" She was already getting out of the car.
"UhhI, uh… Sure." Allison felt really, really weird..first Remy not telling her who text her—she always offered that information, Allison never had to ask before. Then randomly forgetting something and not saying what? That was very un-Remy-like…very un-her-Remy-like… She knit her brows as they walked back inside, "Are you okay?"
"What? Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just an idiot.." She rolled her eyes. "I'll walk you to the cafeteria.." She offered.
"I'm not going with you?" She asked.
"It won't take that long…no big deal." Remy was already steering them to the cafeteria.
"Remy…what the hell is going on with you tonight?" She stopped when Remy did and when she didn't get an answer, she looked in the direction Remy was looking. "Oh…Oh Honey." She blushed and grinned and turned to Remy then to the floor then back to Remy again.
Remy set up their first night all over again… Over at the table that they shared before they left was a window covered in goofy red and pink and white and gold and silver doilies and construction paper Valentine's that Remy—as Allison approached—oh-so-obviously spent time trying to make them look professional, then got pissed off and made them look like a child did them. And on the cleared table itself was the same magazine she was reading the night it all began.
"Oh Honey.." She turned around, but Remy was out of sight. She looked around then saw a post-it stinking out of the middle of the issue. It read, 'Don't worry. Just sit down and read me!' Allison made a face and sat down.
Remy then walked over to her. She waited for Allison to look up at her, "What are you doing here all by yourself?" She asked the blonde.
Allison knit her brows, "Rem…what?" She was confused.
"Firs of all you're sitting all alone which no on should ever do…Second, you're sitting alone of Valentine's Day…" Remy gave her a look.
Allison stared at her and shook her head in disbelief. She was actually re-creating their conversations. "Oh…yeah." She gave her a bright smile, "What's wrong with being alone?"
"Well, nothing essentially, but if you're going to eat alone…"
"Who said I was eating alone?"
"No one…but I can tell your starving." She grinned down at her, "Why are you alone? I would think that out of everyone here at the hospital, you would have the hottest date around…" She said with a bit of arrogance.
"I don't know Dr. Hadley…you seem to attract the sexiest of humans, both male and female…mainly female." Allison said with a bit of her own cockiness.
"Dr. Cameron…you're absolutely right." Remy was grinning at her.
Allison smiled at her then sobered, "So, Thirteen, did you ever tell that girl how you felt?" She asked.
"Yes I did!" She said with, if it's possible, an even bigger grin, "I got her to agree to marry me actually. We're planning the wedding now…that's a living hell, but I love her, so it makes it not so bad." She smirked down at Allison, "So, are you gonna ask me to sit down?" She asked.
"Please." Allison gestured to the seat across from her.
Remy sat down and plucked two of the like…twenty cards off the wall and took the tape off with each one, "You know..it looks like someone really loves you."
"Yeah. Yeah, she does. She's the greatest partner I've ever had." Allison started helping Remy take them down, getting the feeling they were going to head out for real soon. She plucked a particularly kid-like card, "She uh," She laughed a little as she looked at it, "She tries so hard to craft and do that kind of thing with me, and when she concentrates…Oh my God! It's unbelievable!" She grinned, "But when she gets impatient and her secret child side that she's only ever let me see comes out…" She flipped the Valentine over for Remy to see. Remy gave her a glare, "I think I actually like those crafts the most…" She said as she put that card on top of her pile then took Remy's hand.
Remy smiled at her, "You wanna get some food?" She asked. Allison nodded.
A trip in Remy's car blasting Shania Twain to a Mexican food restaurant that makes their own tortillas later, they were seated at the same table they were seated at last year.
Remy took Allison's hand and kissed it, "Happy Anniversary, Baby."
"Happy Anniversary." She grinned at Remy, then pulled their linked hands so she could kiss the brunette's.
"Hi…" They both looked up, "I'm Rachel, I'll be your server this evening." She looked between the two of them, "Can I get you something to drink?" She asked.
"Water." Allison had big eyes…Rachel was their waitress a year ago. They had gone plenty of times to this restaurant over the last year and Rachel hadn't ever served them…but come V-day…here she is.
"And a Sprite?" She looked at Remy.
"Yeah." Remy nodded. She had an extra twinkle to her eyes, but it wasn't because this part was planned…it was because the fact that Rachel was serving them was all too ironic.
Rachel nodded, "Just so you know, there's a Valentine's day special…" She stopped and looked between the two of them, "I can continue this year?"
Allison and Remy both nodded and laughed to the point that they shamed hyenas.
"Please." Allison nodded.
Rachel read off the special and they decided to get it since she went through all the trouble of saying it. After dinner, they went back to their apartment. Allison fixed popcorn—Remy learned over time that Allison liked to waste popcorn…she didn't like to eat it a lot during movies or anything, she just liked the smell of it as they started movies. Of course they were both bursting at their seams from all the Mexican food and Remy had also learned over time to not touch the popcorn because her stomach regrets it when she's that full.
"Oh fuck!" Remy said before she sat on the couch, "I know this is very un-lady-like and I shouldn't do this on date night…especially anniversary date night, but I have to get out of these pants!" She took her jeans off and lifted her shirt over her stomach then fell on the couch.
Allison grinned at her, then in a singsong voice, said, "I told you, you ate too much…"
Remy opened an eye and looked at her fiancée, "…just pick out a fucking movie." She said.
"Can it be one of the two I've wanted to watch lately that kept being rejected?" She asked.
Remy grinned and nodded, "Yeah, Baby…of course…You know you have the power to say, 'No, bitch! We're watching this movie! Fuck your choice.'" She said.
Allison laughed, "Oh, I know I can do that…but sometimes when I do, you pout…" Remy stuck out her bottom lip when Allison turned back to face her from putting the DVD in the player, "Like that." She smiled down at her, grabbed the remote, then settled down on top of Remy, "Am I squishing your tummy too much?" She asked as she let their lips brush together.
Remy was going to say no, but she really couldn't breath all too well…she conquered their plate and Allison only ate like a third…maybe. "Maybe just a little.." She started rolling them so that she was in between Allison and the couch.
"Honey…" Allison grinned, "Don't kill yourself before your time…" She kissed her.
"It was sooo good, Babe…I couldn't get enough of it!" She pleaded her case.
"I know..I ate it too." She replied then turned around when she heard the menu. She pressed play, "This was the best Anniversary ever, Baby." Allison said.
"I am in complete agreement." Remy looked at the screen, "Walk the Line?" She asked, "I was sure you were going to put in Birds of America…"
"No I was not and you know it! It's our anniversary! We're going to watch a love story, not a crazy family story." She turned her head to kiss her.
Remy didn't respond after that kiss…it was that good. She just cuddled and gradually started getting a little frisky here and there as the movie went on and her stomach let up.
AN: Happy Valentine's day! Please R&R!
