A/N: RIP AMBER!

Six months had passed since the birth of her daughter and it was time for Cameron to go back to work. She was not looking forward to the event as she dreaded being away from her Kathryn during the day even though she would only be downstairs in the hospital's day care center. House had also been stalling in Cameron's return to work because he was not keen on his daughter being cooped up in that day care center with all the lower intelligence children of Princeton-Plainsboro teaching hospital's staff. Naturally he proclaimed his daughter's intelligence much higher then that of any other child. Cameron always scolded him for this but was also glad that he hadn't forced her to come back to work yet. Things had been working just fine with her being able to be there via web-cam or telephone. When Cuddy questioned him about this House simply replied,

"On work related topics, I value her ideas much more then her physical pressance."

"What about non-work related topics?"

"The only thing I need coming out of her mouth is my name, I believe that was what came out of her mouth the night Kathryn came to be..."

"Ok, I did not need to hear that but you really need to discuss her coming back to work." Cuddy said as she left the diagnostics office. After awhile when stalling was becoming more and more difficult House and Cameron came to the realization that she was going to have to return to work eventually and this stalling was only making the inevitable worse and Cameron decided to return to work at the beginning of September. Before Kathryn could go to the hospital's daycare facility however, she needed to recieve her vaccinations. House had already declared that he would give them to her as he didn't trust anyother doctor besides Cameron with his daughter's medical needs and she had already said that she didn't think she would be able to give the baby her shots because she knew that it would make her cry.

One week before Cameron was due to come back to work, she brought Kathryn into the clinic so House could give her her shots.

"Daddy's going to come and give you your shots so that you don't get sick, then we can go upstairs and see Uncle Foreman and Uncle Chase and I'm sure that Aunt Cuddy would love to see you too and I know that Daddy will take you to go and bug Uncle Wilson." Cameron said bouncing Kathryn up and down making her smile.

"Well, hello there and how are you two lovely ladies doing this fine morning?" House asked in a soap oera doctor voice as he walked into the examination room and bent down and gave Kathryn a kiss on the nose then gave Cameron one on the lips.

"So it looks like you are in for a full course of vaccinations today missy aka you are going to hate Daddy after today."

"Say 'No I won't Daddy.'" Cameron said.

"Ok, Cameron take her left leg and hold it out for me." House said and looked at Kathryn. "Ok, one, two, three." No sooner had House punctured her skin with the needle Kathryn started to cry.

"I know baby, Mommy and Daddy are sorry but you have to have these, they will keep you from getting sick." Cameron said kissing Kathryn head trying to soothe her.

"Don't even try to calm her down yet Cameron, she still has six more to go. Ok Baby Girl, Daddy's sorry but here we go again." After getting three more shots in her legs and two in her feet Kathryn was not a happy camper. House was writing down in Kathryn's chart(probably the only one he would ever do) that she had had her vaccinations while Cameron was bouncing her up and down trying to sooth her.

"Shhh, you're ok, Mommy's here, Mommy's got you. I think that is the first chart I have ever seen you do." Cameron said to House.

"Well, should she ever be stricken with a fatal illness, I figure it will be good for the attending to know that she has had these shots, plus they won't let her in the day-care before I do this." Just then Cuddy walked in.

"Oh good, she's had her shots, now you can come back to work. Oh you aren't a happy baby are you?" Cuddy asked Kathryn who had turned her face into Cameron's shoulder and whimpered more.

"Cameron do you want to go and get some lunch real quick, House can take Kathryn, it's not like he is doing anything anyway." Cuddy said with a nasty tone to her voice.

"I would love to but I don't know if I should leave her, she's pretty upset and she's not going to be to comfortable for the rest of the day and..."

"Oh, she'll be fine, won't you?" Cuddy asked Kathryn who once again turned her head. House always thought that Cuddy was a little jealous of Cameron because she got the baby Cuddy never could have and she didn't even try to get pregnant but still, he thought that some time apart might do the two some good.

"Go Cameron, she'll be fine and plus, it might come to less of a shock to her when you are apart for eight hours a day if you start leaving her a little bit." House said reaching out to take the baby who Cameron reluctantly handed over and headed down to the cafeteria with Cuddy after promising Kathryn that she wouldn't be gone more then an hour.

"Ok, Mommy's gone time to Partay! Yea, you really aren't in the mood for that are you?" House asked Kathryn who had laid her head down on his shoulder and started to wimper again. "Ok, let's go bug Uncle Wilson, that is just as fun." House walked out of the clinic and headed down to where Wilson's office was.

"Hey Uncle Wilson!" He yelled as he walked in.

"If only your name was Dennis because you sure live up to the menis part." Wilson said not even looking up as he charted some patients new treatments.

"You hear that Kathryn, Uncle Wilson thinks you are a menis." House said laying down on the couch and laying Kathryn on top of his chest.

"Yes, I was referring to the baby. I see she got her shots today, she sure doesn't look happy. You're in for a rough night it looks like."

"You mean Cameron is in for a rough night." Wilson knew better then to take that comment seriously. He had never seen House take more responsibility in his life like he did with Kathryn. He knew that he would be up with Cameron all night as well trying to sooth the child.

"When does Cameron start back up at work?"

"Three weeks. I was perfectly fine with having her there through webcam or telephone." House said glancing down at Kathryn who was trying to fall asleep but the discomfort from the shots.

"She'll do fine in the day-care. Besides, Foreman and Chase could use the help." Wilson said smiling at the baby who had looked up at him almost as if to say how much she did not want to go to day-care. House said and talked to Wilson for about twenty minutes until Kathryn got really fussy again then decided to take her up to the Diagnositics office and wait for Cameron. Cameron showed up about fifteen minutes after that and hurried over to take her fussy daughter in her arms.

"Oh baby, you still aren't happy? This is not going to be a fun nigh is it?" Cameron asked Kathryn kissing her head softly. Just then Chase and Foreman came in with faces that told Cameron they had been doing House's clinic hours and both came over to see Kathryn who turned her head into Cameron's shoulder once again.

"Don't take it personally guys, she just had her vaccinations and she's not too happy."

"Oh, are you really putting her in the day-care and coming back to work?" Foreman asked.

"We could really use the extra hands around here." Chase said.

"Yea, I'll be back in three weeks." Cameron said as Cuddy walked in.

"Honestly do you guys have nothing better to do then just stand around here all day? Here you have a case! Good God, she's still fussing? I can hardly hear myself think."

"Well, it's a good thing that you never had one then isnt' it? Because they do that when they are upset, no other way to let you know." House said. "I'll do the preliminary differential with the team right now since they are all here then I'm headed home because I have a very unhappy baby to tend to."

"House you asshole." Cuddy said and steamed out. House knew he had struck a nerve with the baby remark but no one else knew what he was talking about and he had a point.

"Ok, differential diagnosis people, you got five minutes before I hit the road Jack and never come back so...go!"

"Could be osteomiolitis." Chase said.

"Not likely given her age..."

The next morning all three members of the House family were exhausted. They had gotten next to no sleep due to Kathryn fussing almost all night long. She had finally dosed off around four thirty though and slept until ten making things a little more bearable around the next day even if they were all cranky from lack of sleep House and Cameron couldn't resist smiling when they looked down between them and say their daughter smiling up at them.

"Little happier today are we?" Cameron asked giving Kathryn a kiss on the head and then giving House one on the lips.


Three weeks later House and Cameron were walking into the day care with Kathryn in tow. They explained to the lady working in there everything their daughter liked and disliked but were displeased by the fact that she didn't really care and all the kids were out of control in the place. Both Cameron and Kathryn started to cry when it was time for them to leave but House leaned down and spoked to Kathryn in the ear that they would be back at lunch time and she needed to be a big girl. She stopped wimpering but leaving her there was the last thing House wanted to do. Cameron was a wreck but he knew that this was something all three of them had to adjust to. During the whole day Cameron was distant kept glancing at the clock to see if it was time to go and get Kathryn for lunch yet. When it finally was House said that he would go down and get her and bring her up. When he got down there he did not like what he saw at all. Kathryn was sitting alone in the the corner with older kids practically tripping on her and she was putting something in her mouth. He ran over as fast as his leg would allow and took it from her.

"NO! We do not put things in our mouths!" House said sternly. Kathryn gave him a look of understanding and House picked her up and noticed that the day care lady was sitting in her office on her cell phone. "You know what missy, this is just not going to work." House took all of Kathryn's things and also told on eof the maintenence guys to take one of the portable play pens that could be used as a crib and put it in his office. Cameron and the others were shocked when he brought all the stuff up into the diagnostics office but when he told Cameron of the situation down there she was in aggreement that the only place Kathryn could be was right in here with them.

It wasn't a week later that Cuddy found out where Kathryn was staying during the day.

"Children belong in the day care center, that is what it is there for."

"And Dean's of medicine belong in their big fancy offices that is what they are there for." House said as he wrote something on the white board. Kathryn, was hurting no one in fact she was simply laying on the floor playing with a toy.

"House!"

"Cuddy!"

"Look, Cuddy, you need to improve the day care facility because I wouldn't leave a dog in there let alone my daughter. She is going to stay in here with and and its not your office and don't give me 'it's my hospital' because I'm not buying it. Either she stays, or I go!" Cameron said picking up her daughter who was smiling at her. Cuddy really couldn't argue with that so she said whatever and left.

"Damn! Cameron really is a House now isn't she?" Foreman said. Just then Kathryn mad a face and a mean sounding baby noise.

"Guess that one is too! Good lord that is all we need, three House's in this office! One was bad enough!" Chase said.

"Don't fret wombat! Now there is just more House love to go around!" House said wrapping his arm around Cameron and smiling at the other too and they all laughed.
