Chapter 25

"Mrs. Rodriguez your leg is fine. I'll call a nurse and you're going to get a plaster around it. You should keep it 6 weeks and then come back to cut it out." Cameron smiled at the older woman who had come to the ER because she fell down the stairs.

"Thank you Dr. Cameron."

Cameron nodded and walked to the reception.

"Dr. Cameron?"

Cameron looked up from the papers she was reviewing and looked at the nurse.

"There is a patient. He requested to see you."

"Thank you, Sandy."

Finishing the papers, she walked to the bed with the closed curtains. Opening them, she revealed House laying innocently on the bed playing his PSP.

"What do you want?" Cameron asked him and without giving him any chance to reply she turned to walk away.

"Allison stop." he said in a firm voice at which Cameron froze. She slowly turned around crossing her arms over her chest as House was limping towards her. She looked away, the hurt of him accusing her to sleep with Chase still to much.

House sighed. This wasn't going exactly the way he had intended it too. He slowly lifted his right hand and moved a strand of her golden hair away from her face. She closed her eyes at his touch.

"Allison, I'm sorry." he whispered. "I know I screwed up. I was just caught off guard with the news. I...I didn't mean to say what I said."

Cameron turned her head towards him but still didn't look him in the eye.

"Last night I realized some things that changed about me which I hadn't noticed." he began while caressing her cheek. "One, I hate to wake up alone in bed. And two, you may have changed me."

At his last statement, Cameron looked up and locked her gaze with his.

"It wasn't really you but because of you I changed. I know you never wanted to change me but in a way I did, for you." he explained as he walked back to the bed and sat down. "A month ago I felt miserable, I thought that if I'm dead I would be happy. You know, no pain, no people who may hate you. But I realized I was wrong. I would hurt a lot of people with my death. Today, I want to live because I got new reason to live. First you and now our unborn child."

Tears began rolling down Cameron's cheek.

"I need you Allison. You've corrupted me because I can't think of being with someone other than you. I love you and I want you back in our home. You and the baby."

Cameron wiped her tears away and opened her mouth, trying to say something but failed. Without saying a word she left.

House closed his eyes at her disappearance letting a tear fall down. She was his everything and he probably had lost her.

"Mrs. Scott I'm glade you could come so quickly. I know I called last minute." Mrs. Fischer, Beth's teacher said.

"No, problem. You said it was something important about Beth." Sara sounded concerned. "Did something happen?"

"No, no. Nothing like that. Please take a seat." Mrs. Fischer said indicating to the chairs.

Sara sat down on one of the chairs while Mrs. Fischer went to her desk and took a picture.

"Beth drew something today which had me concerned."

"What..What is it?"

"Well, I asked the children today to draw a picture of their family and friends and there is one figure who she drew with an evil face. That someone is carrying a cane. Do you know who that might be?"

"Yes, well there is only one person with a cane Beth knows and that is Dr. House. He's my sister's boyfriend."

Mrs. Fischer nodded at the information. "Well, I'm relieved to know that he is familiar with you. She told me she used to call him Uncle Greg and when I asked her why she wouldn't anymore she said he was mean because he had scared her."

Sara furrowed her brow. "Scared? That doesn't sound like..no wait a minute scratch that. But still, I don't think he would scare Beth. He likes her, she's like his real niece."

"I understand Mrs. Scott and I'm sure he's very sweet with Beth but I just wanted to let you know about the picture."

"Thank you. I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding." Sara smiled at the teacher and stood up.

"Here is the picture she drew." Mrs. Fischer handed Sara the drawing.

"Thank you. And thank you again for letting me know about this."

"You're welcome."

Sara nodded and smiled before walking out of the classroom.

Once she was in the car, she took her cellphone and dialed David's number. After the third ring he picked up.

"Hello."

"David, it's me. I just wanted to let you know that I'm on my way home now."

"Ok. What did Mrs. Fischer say?"

"Beth drew a picture in which Greg is pictured as the devil and she was concerned about the drawing, that's all."

"Greg as the devil?" David laughed.

"Well not exactly the devil." Sara said as she looked at the picture for the first time. "He's just slightly away from the bunch of family members and friends and he is looking angry on the picture."

"Why would she do that? She likes Greg."

"I don't know." Sara sighed. "Apparently he yelled at her. And if I think about it she hasn't asked for him in weeks."

"I'm sure it's a misunderstanding." David reassured her.

"That's what I told Mrs. Fischer too."

"Come home and then we'll talk together with her. If you want I can call Greg and ask him what's it about with the shouting."

"No, it's okay. I think I'll head over to the hospital and ask him myself."

"Sure. I'll see you later. Love you."

"I love you too, bye."

Sara hung up ,put the drawing in her purse and started the car.
