Chapter 13

"Cameron," said Dr. Chase approaching the young immunologist in the clinic. "Cameron, can we talk?"

"Uh... sure..." said Cameron. Oh boy, what could THIS be about?

The two found an exam room and slid in together to get some privacy. Once they were alone, Chase spoke.

"Cameron, I'm worried about you."

"What...? Why?"

"After your breakup with House, I--"

Cameron laughed. "What are you talking about?"

"I heard about Wilson."

Cameron was totally confused. "What... about Wilson?"

------------------

"When does this thing end?" asked House staring up at a clock.

"In a half hour," said the counselor. "Now can you please answer the question, Dr. House?"

"What question?"

"Are you territorial of Allison?"

House stared. "Why? Should I be?"

"Dr. House, please stop avoiding the question."

"But it's what I do best."

"Dr. House..."

House rolled his eyes.

-------------------

"I heard that you had an affair with Wilson," said Chase in a worried tone.

Cameron giggled. "Eww... no... Who told you that?!"

Chase bit his lip. He NEEDED to stop listening to those nurses!

"Oh you have got to be kidding me," said Cameron noticing Chase's silent reaction. "Chase, you have GOT to stop listening to them!"

Chase ducked his head. "They said they overheard you guys fighting about a breakup or something."

"We were fighting about House!"

"You were fighting... over House?" Chase was scared now. House and Wilson?!

"Not OVER House... ABOUT House..."

"Umm... what... do you mean?"

"I was still mad at him for what he did to House," said Cameron, "And he's upset that I won't talk to him."

"Right," said Chase shrugging and rolling his eyes. "Yes, well that makes a bit more sense than an affair with Wilson..."

Cameron stared at him. "Can we go now?"

Chase nodded.

--------------------

"Okay," said House, "So maybe I am a bit territorial of her... but it's not like I don't have reason to be!"

"She's gotta be 20 years younger than you!" said the woman next to House.

"Seriously," said House. "Shut up."

The woman rolled her eyes, and House continued.

"She's been wanting me to date her for two years now... I'm just... giving her what she wants..."

"After two years," said the counselor in disbelief, "You are just now giving HER what SHE wants?"

House nodded.

"Dr. House, why do I feel that isn't the whole story?"'

"So... maybe I wanted to date her too," said House. "I just... didn't want to date anyone... at the time."

"What's changed?" asked the counselor.

-------------------

Chase and Cameron emerged from the exam room laughing about the little mix up.

Katie and Brenda stared at each other wide-eyed.

"No... way..." said Brenda.

Katie just giggled.
