Disclaimer: I don't own House M.D
Wilson dove to the ground, pushing Amber down with him. They needn't have worried. The shot come from a flare gun, and soared over them. The combination of the sound of the shot and the sparks which rained from the flare frightened the wolves, causing them to scatter and run away.
"Okay.." said Chase, as everyone, having dove to the ground at the sound of the shot, got up, dusting themselves off, "What the hell just happened?"
"God freaking loves us is what happened, woo!" House cried, punching the air.
"More like the employee with a flare gun is kinda fond of you" said Foreman, emerging from the bushes, flaregun in hand. "Not even you, really. Just the others"
"Whatever. Like I care" House shrugged.
"Thanks mate" said Chase.
Now, just as Wilson was about to ask Amber for her answer to his proposal, Thirteen interrupted as she looked around with a concerned expression on her face.
"Where's Kutner?"
"I'm up here" said a voice. Everyone looked up, and began laughing hysterically when they saw Kutner sitting in a tree with an embarrassed look on his face.
"It's not funny!" he yelled as he climbed down the tree. "Those wolves were evil!"
"Yeah, they were" Thirteen giggled, picking some leaves, and a caterpillar, out of Kutner's hair.
"Well, er, now that we've got that out of the way" said Wilson, kneeling down in front of Amber and pulling the ring, which he had been carrying around with him, out of his pocket. "Amber, I love you with all my heart. There is nothing in the world more important to me than you." Amber gave a small smirk.
"Not even House?"
"No," Wilson smiled, "Not even House. So, will you, Amber Volakis, the most precious person in my life, marry me?"
"Yes" said Amber, in a voice so soft and full of emotion that no one could really believe it was coming from the woman they had once called cutthroat bitch, "Yes, I will."
"Yeah, woo hoo!" Wilson cried, leaping to his feet. He lifted Amber and spun her around. "I love you I love you I love you!"
"I love you too" Amber smiled. They kissed, and Wilson slipped the ring onto her finger.
"Well, this is very touching and all" said House after a short silence. "But we should really be getting back to the beach so that Lisa- I mean, Cuddy and Cameron, don't think we've all been ripped to shreds by rabid wolves"
Meanwhile, back on the beach, Cuddy was trying, unsuccessfully, to take her mind off worrying about House by fishing. She had just fallen on her butt for the fifth time in a row. Cameron rushed over to help her up. Cuddy could just see the first, barely noticable sign of a tiny baby bump under her shirt.
"Are you okay?" she asked, with a hint of concern.
"Do I look okay to you?!" Cuddy snapped, then sighed, feeling guilty. "Sorry. It's just.."
"You're worried about House" Cameron finished.
"Yeah. I, um, I kissed him."
"Oh. Okay then" said Cameron. Cuddy raised an eyebrow.
"You don't seem very surprised."
"I'm not. I've kind of been expecting it actually, ever since that day I found the two of you snuggling on the beach"
"We were not snuggling!"
"Come on, Dr.Cuddy" Cameron laughed. "There's not really any point denying it now is there?"
"No, I guess there's not" said Cuddy, her eyes filling with tears. "What if the others didn't find him in time? What if I never see him again?"
"Hey, don't cry" said Cameron, wrapping the sobbing Dean of medicine in a warm hug. "Chase is out there too, remember? I'm just as worried as you are. But they're tough. They'll be fine, they all will."
