AN- None of the characters are mine. I'm not trying to offend anyone with the dialogue, if I do: I am sorry. I just figured it would be consistent with House's character. It isn't the first-time House crashed an appointment as he did in the show. All references to Skin Deep (Season 2, Episode 13) belongs to the House MD creators. It has been a bit of a time skip since the last chapter, so to orient the timeline: This chapter takes place a few days into the twentieth week of pregnancy and a few days before Thanksgiving.

"And there is your baby." The tech said smiling at the couple, as she pointed to the screen.

"Woah!" Chase said, looking at the screen. He squeezed Cameron's hand.

Cameron laughed. "That's kinda freaky…"

"Our baby… It looks kinda like a little alien…" Her fiancé agreed. She knew he was just teasing, but she still frowned.

"Does not!" She laughed and the tech smiled, moving the wand around.

"That's normal in this stage of development. I promise you won't deliver an alien. Your baby will be 100% human." She assured them. "Everything seems to be measuring right on schedule…"

"Strong heartbeat!" Cameron grinned, relieved.

Chase laughed. "Told you no need to worry, babe." He joked and she laughed. He knew her all too well.

Cameron blushed and looked at the screen. "It's weird being on this side of the wand." She added softly as the tech laughed.

"And are you curious about the sex?" The tech asked, looking towards the couple. She had been making notes in their file.

"Practically non-existent since she got knocked up," House quipped as he opened the door, peeking his head in. The three looked startled as they looked towards him. "Oh, wait… you didn't mean with her boss, did you?" He grinned.

"This is a private appointment!" Chase frowned as Cameron rolled her eyes. Both figured it would be better to just ignore what House was saying.

"We have a case…" House shrugged. "Why are you letting her do the ultrasound? You both have probably done more than she has…individually."

"Because it's her actual job." Chase frowned. "We'll be in later… go away."

"I couldn't even imagine doing an ultrasound on myself…" Cameron added.

"We've got a patient" House repeated as he glanced towards the screen. "Ewww. Fetuses are gross little mutants… hurry up. Orrrrr we can do the differentials in here…"

"Absolutely not!"

"Oh come on… you're just the tech. Probably didn't even go to medical school…"

"Be nice." Chase groaned. "Just… go…"

"I could probably page Foreman… Thirteen…" House continued as though he hadn't heard a word.

"Patient violation of privacy…. I don't want them here… I don't even want you here." Cameron retorted, annoyed that her boss hijacked the appointment. She honestly wasn't too surprised House barged in, but she was still upset.

"It's not like you're naked… you're wearing paper…" House snorted, but he sighed dramatically "Fine… I can see when I'm not wanted. Just make sure…"

"One hour. I promise they'll be in your office in one hour." The tech retorted. She smiled, once the man was gone. "Do you want me to lock the door?"

"Can you?" Cameron asks with a laugh.

The tech laughed "So where were we?"

"So House said you had your big ultrasound today? That's exciting!" Foreman asked, seeing Chase and Cameron walk in.

Chase grinned as Cameron made a face. Foreman gave her a questioning look so she explained "It was until House waltzed in…"

"He didn't!" Thirteen looked at both halves of the couple.

"He did." Chase and Cameron replied. "So what's so important about this patient you couldn't let us have one appointment alone?" Cameron asked.

House grinned as he 'gave' the patient's history. He would rather talk about Cameron and Chase than their latest case so he rushed through it to make a point. "Patient brought in… moody, blah, blah, tinnitus, more medical stuff, trouble urinating as if that's important… are you wearing a bra?" He asked, glancing towards Cameron. She quickly crossed her arms over her chest as Foreman and Thirteen glanced towards her. "You're not…" He smirked. She frowned and glared at him. "It'll be tough to treat our patient with you holding your milk-jugs down by hand." Cameron glared at him. "Why aren't you wearing a bra? Do you really want to go see HR today?"

"Can you not notice my fiancée like that?" Chase frowned.

"Why?" House smirked, reaching for a pen and waved it towards Chase "Jealous? Green is not a good look on you…"

"Come on," Thirteen said, starting to walk into the room. "Let me see the file because he did such a great job…" House handed her the folder, he really didn't care. Foreman and Cameron were practically on her heels.

Foreman looked at the patient and the man standing beside the bed. "Are you his brother?"

"Boyfriend, we're dating," Both the patient and his boyfriend said, frowning towards the doctor.

Foreman blinked and turned to the boyfriend. "W-We need to ask you to leave…"

"And that's not sexist," House said loudly "we ask all gay guys to leave the room during patient history…"

"I've got nothing to hide…" Jacob snapped. "Can he stay?"

"Any history of sexually transmit—" Cameron asked, beginning with what seemed most likely.

"We're gay. It's not like we're diseased!"

"It's a standard question. Straight people can get STDs too… I mean she almost had HIV…" House answered, motioning towards the female doctors. Cameron glared at him and Thirteen looked shocked. House glanced between the patient and his boyfriend. "Though that's one point for homosexuals… no unexpected babies."

"Security! Help in here!" Foreman shouted as there was yelling and clanking of metal. Jacob was yelling as was Foreman and Chase. Security managed to get Jacob to the bed and hold him down as the doctors sedated him. Jacob's boyfriend watched from his corner of the room, he had no idea why Jacob snapped and he was just trying to stay out of the way.

House could only watch from behind the glass. He knew Cameron and Thirteen were running some of the urine samples, while Foreman and Chase were drawing the patient's blood. Once he was satisfied he brought his team back through the glass doors into the diagnostics room.

"Would any of you idiots like to explain what the hell happened?" House asked as Cameron and Thirteen took in the boys. Foreman glared towards the room and Chase felt his nose. Foreman seemed to be studying Chase, though he knew all the other doctors were glancing towards him.

"Not broken, thank God." He mumbled.

"Not broken?" Foreman asked.

"Not broken." Chase snapped, annoyed. He knew it wasn't Foreman's fault but Foreman wasn't hurt…

"What?!" Thirteen asked as Cameron blinked. House waited for an explanation.

"We were drawing blood, like you suggested… and he went psycho…" Foreman said. "Chase didn't even get the needle in him when he swung…"

"He got my eye." Chase added, angrily. It was swollen and already starting to redden.

"Why?" House demanded. The two men stared at House.

"We were joking with them… totally normal. Trying to calm them down, make them feel better about the hospital." Chase shrugged as Cameron checked his eye. He was pleased when she ruled it just broken capillaries that should clear up in a week. "He got angry…"

"I don't know… the boyfriend was laughing with Chase. He smiled at something that was said…"

"Possible jealousy?" Thirteen added.

"Probably…" Chase mumbled. "Which is stupid…"

"Exactly! Our patient saw how pregnant Cameron is…" Foreman frowned.

"But he doesn't know Chase and Cameron…" Thirteen added.

"Shut up!" House snapped. "Okay. Rule one. I want him restrained at all times… even when he's unconscious. Rule two. You don't go in the room unless he is unconscious… and you don't go alone, even if he is unconscious" He pointed to Cameron.

She frowned and rolled her eyes. "We've had dangerous patients before… security will be there the whole time he's under treatment…"

"Yeah… but if anything happens to your parasite, I'm pretty sure one of those 'fetuses are human too' groups would sue the hospital and I don't want someone who doesn't eat meat to own the hospital." House snapped. "Chase, pretty sure he'll have a grudge against you for making eyes at his man…"

"I didn't!" But it was useless to argue.

"So you only go in there as Foreman's spotter. Want to limit your time with our sumo wrestler…." House continued.

"So you don't care if he attacks me?" Foreman asked, annoyed.

"Chase is pretty…. And you used to play football. Pretty sure you're used to tackling…ughhh… this will end up being a whole thing when Cuddy hears about it." House groaned "Thirteen, you do that paperwork."

"I can't do the incident report. I don't know what happened."

"I don't want to do it" House argued. "Foreman, you do it." The man sighed and reached for the computer.

"Hello?" Jacob's boyfriend said, coming into the room. He saw House adding EXTREME AGGRESSION to the white board. "I just wanted to apologize… I'm Trevor… Jacob's not normally like that…"

"You mean he doesn't punch doctors for sport?" House snapped. Chase was sitting with an ice pack over his eye to try to decrease the swelling. He knew Allie's parents were coming in few days for Thanksgiving and he knew by then, he'd have an ugly black eye.

"He's never had a problem before…" Trevor admitted.

"He's never got angry?" Thirteen asked in disbelief.

"I-I mean… he's been angry… but never violent…" Trevor said. "I've been trying to get him to get checked out for weeks…he's changed…" He admitted.

"Behaviorally?" Foreman asked

"Sexually…" Trevor said softly. "Never… being satisfied… I mean… I've had to start taking…pills."

"So he's a guy…" House cut him off. "Go away."

"I just wanted to apologize again… on his behalf… he's sorry…" Trevor admitted.

"Damn, even with a bruised face… you're still pretty" House scowled, glancing at Chase. Thirteen and Cameron just smiled in amusement as the blonde looked uncomfortable. "So results?"

"Testosterone is high… like insanely high..." Thirteen spoke up

"Obviously! He's so alpha…" Foreman frowned as he held the urine results. "Wait… his estrogen is high…"

"That should cause low te—wait, how high?" Chase asked.

Cameron frowned. "But that… inverse…"

"Like our model!" Foreman and Chase said quickly at the same time.

"NO!" Cameron said quickly. "It's not..." But she was soon interrupted.

"Oh, you're just jealous because that guy was a better girl then you were." House answered and she frowned. Thirteen tried to follow along but the discussion was pulled in so many different directions.

"She-male!" House announced as all of them were talking at once, trying to be heard.

"If Jacob were…"

"Jacob is a male…"

"SHUT UP!" House said. "You are giving me a headache. Thirteen, you look like you just got told Christmas was cancelled and your family left you alone in the dark."

"What model?" She turned to Cameron.

"Catfight on the catwalk" House said as Chase groaned. "We had a she-male…"

Her blank stares were no longer amusing and so House didn't react when Chase and Cameron filled her in. "Hermaphrodite… we had a model a few years back… thought was a girl… until she had testicular cancer…"

"Which is not like Jacob." Cameron added as Foreman frowned.

"Could be…" Foreman insisted.

"How long has it been since you got some? You're confusing two VERY different parts of anatomy." House smirked as Chase and Cameron tried to hide their chuckles at that mental picture.

Foreman glared at his boss. Thirteen smirked. "So what next?"

House glanced around the room "Break time!" When his team looked at him skeptically, he grinned. "We bring in Wilson… under the guise of testicular cancer… get him to check out our guy and he'll go to Cuddy. She'll come crying to me." He seemed so pleased with himself. "We've done all we can do for now... Thanksgiving's coming up." He grinned as the subject changed.

"Wilson isn't going to be willing to be part of your scheme." Foreman reminded his boss.

"Are you going to tell him?" House asked.

Thirteen turned towards Cameron. "So… House mentioned you have HIV?"

She glared at their boss and groaned. "NO! I don't… I never did…I just… a patient… a patient we had, coughed up blood." She mumbled "But I ended up not getting infected."

"Good, or else you and Chase would both end up infected." House answered as he unwrapped his sandwich.

The couple rolled their eyes. Thirteen glanced towards them. Foreman turned towards House. "You really think Cuddy will fall for it?"

"Hopefully… she'll be busy with Rachel… apparently family likes seeing little brats for the holidays…Oh, yeah! That reminds me!" He grinned towards Cameron "You have people coming in, don't you?"

She nodded "Yeah, my parents and my brother…"

"For Thanksgiving?" Foreman asked.

"No! For Arbor Day!" House said and Chase and Thirteen tried to hide their smiles.

"But we can't all take time off for the holidays…" Foreman pointed out.

House frowned "Thought about that… you're not. It's only two and two… Two off, two on." He shrugged as he returned to his lunch.

"Which two?" Cameron asked as Foreman looked towards House.

House looked at them over his sandwich. "You two. Cameron and Foreman. Chase and Thirteen are resigned to Turkey sandwiches… or whatever the hospital cafeteria is going to have…"

"What…?" Chase frowned. "I'm with her… I get time off"

"Uhhh, no, Aussie…" House shook his head. "You never took Thanksgiving before?"

Chase frowned. "Last year she went to see her family… this year they're coming to her…" This year he wanted the time off. Usually, he'd volunteer to wok the holidays so the other hospital staff could have the time of to be with their families. He had no real reason to before but now he had Allison.

"I put in for the time months ago…" Cameron added. "Cuddy approved it!"

House sighed "Your whining is giving me a headache…" He complained. Seeing the looks on all four of them he added "Work it out. I really don't care." He took a bite of his sandwich.

"I'll trade—"

"No!" Foreman said quickly. "It's the first vacation I get in a while…"

House scoffed "Not like your mother would even remember it's Thanksgiving. Just see her on Saturday and tell her it's Thanksgiving…" Foreman was not amused.

"What if I trade with them?" Thirteen asked.

House looked at his sandwich then back at his fellows. He frowned at all of them. "You are already working then. You idiots are making my lunch very difficult to eat." Chase opened his mouth and House cut him off. "Why do you even care? Didn't you celebrate Thanksgiving a month ago?"

Chase blinked and stared dumbfounded at his boss. "I'm not Canadian!"

"Fake Brit. You all worship the Queen… she's on your money…"

"Our money doesn't smell like maple syrup." Chase argued.

"I don't think you're helping your case" Cameron pointed out.

Eventually, Cameron gave up the holiday to Thirteen, so she could have the days off with Chase. "They might have an easier travel time if we delay Thanksgiving, anyway." She said after lunch. House really didn't care about who took what days off but he knew if the entire department was gone, Cuddy would fault him.

"Besides, someone has to work clinic duty. The holidays bring out the craziness" Chase reminded her with a grin. "Plus we get bonus pay" He added and she laughed. That will definitely come in handy with the baby.

"Wait… I want Holiday Pay…" Foreman protested and Cameron shook her head.

"Absolutely not! You had your chance. You chose vacation over vacation pay." She laughed, teasing him. "So enjoy your next few days, Foreman and Thirteen."
