"I know you're in there," House growled slowly.
Wilson turned from the door and stalked to the window.
Cameron opened the door, without hesitation, "Hi."
The older doctor hovered above her, looking over at Wilson. "Cameron's now the peacemaker, is she?"
She jutted her chin at him, clenching her teeth, "It's a problem I care about you and Wilson?"
"Cut the crap!" Wilson mumbled menacingly. He didn't see the electric stares that came from behind. "Why are you here?"
"Um," House fiddled with his cane. "Do you need me to explain?"
Cameron retreated to the corner while Wilson turned around, "You pick and choose who you want to fondle every couple weeks. It just happened to be Scarlett didn't it?"
"You think you were the best uncle you could be?!" House shouted angrily. "Wake up at smell the friggin' coffee Wilson!"
"What the Hell are you-"
"We watched each other. We liked each other. Hell! I'll even go as far as we secretly had feelings for one another."
"I saw."
House raised his cane and placed the end on the wall behind him, "Oh yeah?"
"Do you think I'd want my daughter flouncing around sleeping with you? I didn't want to believe it. I thought it was a little crush, perhaps."
"She's not your daughter."
"She's the closest thing I have to a daughter!" tears began to drip down the side of Wilson's cheeks.
His friend stepped closer and leaned on the desk, "Wilson… I didn't want to hurt you."
"Well, you did," Wilson ruffled his hair.
Cameron burst at that point, "Do you not see that House is apologizing?! Are you seriously going to hold a grudge because your friend slept with your niece? He said sorry, that he had feelings for her, it's over!" She drew back, surprised by her own confidence. Before leaving, she nodded scornfully, "Sorry."
House watched Wilson crumple into a heap on the couch, "James, I never meant to hurt you."
Wilson stared his friend directly in the eye, "I know. I know…" He got up and went to House, "I just wanted my Scarlett back. The one who jumped into my arms when she saw me, the one that snapped at me when I made fun of her, the one that wanted to spend all day with me."
"I took her from you," House broke the gaze. "I know, but it's so complicated. It's so damn complicated. It just-"
Wilson finished, "Happened."
The two didn't need to speak anymore. House held out his hand and Wilson accepted it in his. They pulled into a tight hug, but Scarlett's uncle cried harder.

"Your credentials are amazing," the man with black hair spoke smoothly.
"I have been out of the loop for awhile, though," the woman behind the desk pursed her lips quickly.
The three others behind the man snickered quickly before he silenced them with a wave of his hand. "But, Miss…"
"Wil…cox," the girl smirked.
"You've got the publicity, you've got the looks… you're in."
"Thank you, but first, I need you to sign this release form."
Short, I'm sorry I had to leave it there because the next chapter will be everything about Miss Wil…cox…
