House sat on the couch next to Gaby. The girl was obviously trying hard to be strong. House did something that almost no one knew he was able to do. He picked Gaby and put her in his lap... he caressed her he comforted her, he transmited her security and she felt loved...
'Why was Allie crying?' Gaby asked locking her grey eyes with House's blue ones...
'I don't know baby... I really don't.'
'Can I go see her? Please...' she begged
'She's asleep... we should let her rest.' Gaby nodded and leaned again into House.
Cameron woke up after lunch. She went to the living room and found House watching General Hospital.
'Where's Gaby?' she asked...
'Hey... you're awake! I asked Jimmy and Cuddy to take her with them today...' Cameron nodded and sat next to him
'You want me to do something for you to eat?' he asked. Cameron shook her head.
'Did you see the result?' Cameron asked.
'No. I figured you would tell me once you were ready.' Cameron closed her eyes and held his hand
'It was negative...'
'Huh?'
'The test... it was negative. I'm not pregnant...' House felt empty... just as much as Cameron did
'Why were you crying then?'
'I didn't believe that I could be pregnant. But when I made the test it was just so real... I started to accept it and I was ready... suddenly I was ready to be a mother and I wanted that baby... I wanted it so badly that when I saw the test result I didn't know what to feel... I didn't know if I should be happy because you would be relieved and content or if I should be disapointed... at that moment I realised how important that baby would be... it would be you and me... our baby... a part of us. I wanted it... and I was feeling bad because I wanted it and you didn't... I don't want to lose you...'
'I want it...'
'What?' she asked not knowing what he was talking about
'I want a baby with you...' he said blushing
'You're just saying that so that I don't feel bad... I love you Greg. As I said... I don't need to have a baby to be happy as long as I have you...' she kissed his lips and he kissed back
'I really want it... I was accepting it myself. You were crying and I thought it was because you were pregnant... you know what I felt?' she shook her head and looked at him with interest 'I felt happy... I imagined all the things I could teach our kid... the things we could do together... all the four of us. It was a reality... I do am prepared to be a father. I want this... and I want it with you because you're the woman I love... you and Gaby are the most important persons in my life... I love you both.' Cameron let a tear fall and kissed him fervouresly
'I love you too.' House smiled
'Besides... I can't wait to see how hot you'll look pregnant...' she just laughed and turned to kiss him once again...
'So... when will Lisa and Jimmy bring Gaby?' she asked inocently
'Hmm... after dinner...'
'Oh... so we have plenty of time...' she smiled and pushed him on top of her
'Do you have something in mind?' he asked, playing dumb
'You bet I have...'
