Cameron was loathe to admit it but she was starting to get restless. She didn't want to leave Bella but the lack of adult companionship- aside from House- was making her stir crazy so when House volunteered to baby-sit she jumped at the chance. She went to dinner with Chase and Foreman, just like old times.
"What's the deal with that woman on our team?" Chase asked. "She's got a chip on her shoulder the size of this city."
Cameron laughed. "I thought at first it was just because she had something for House but she's just as mean now and she's dating Brandon Ashcroft."
"She's just a bitch," Foreman inputted. "I wouldn't worry too much about her. As soon as Cam comes back she's in a different department."
"Eaverson too," Cameron confirmed.
Foreman chuckled. "Is it me or does House have something for accents?"
"I thought the same thing!" she told them and they all laughed. Cameron had truly missed her old team.
Chase tilted his beer up as he studied his old flame. "So, you and House, huh."
She turned a bright shade of red. "Yes. It just kinda happened."
"And a baby. I certainly didn't expect that."
Foreman finished his drink as well. "Well, I hope you didn't expect her to wait for you."
"Of course not! I'm just surprised she wore House down is all."
Foreman signaled for the waitress to bring another round for himself and Chase and a refill diet coke for Cameron. "I got the feeling House wasn't as opposed of the relationship as he acted. And to see him with the baby is uncanny."
"I always knew he would be a good father. I just never expected to test that theory," Cameron told the men. "So, Chase, tell me what you're been doing since we last saw you."
"Read 'em and weep, fellas," House told the men currently at his place playing poker.
"What the hell, House?" one of the irate men said. "You got cards up your sleeve or something?"
"Not likely I'd tell you," he said before suddenly snapping his fingers at the man across from him. "No smoking," he harshly said.
"What?"
House jerked his thumb back towards the tiny bundle in her basinet. "I don't want to give Cameron another reason to bitch at me. Smoke outside if you need to."
The man grumbled but put his cigar away. Wilson dealt the cards and House smiled as another winning hand was given to him.
