Surprise
"Fine, shoot."
"First you have to promise to answer, honestly." He told me steeling a glance at me, then turning back to the road.
"Okay, I promise."
"Why did you work so hard to become a doctor and not just become a model, or something, and have a successful life without having to work your pretty little ass off?"
"I... I umm," I stamered trying to decide if I could explain without crying. "I don't think I can answer that."
"You can't or you won't?" He questioned me, even though I think he had a pretty good Idea what the answer was.
"I won't because I can't"
"So, you have an answer but you can't tell me, why not?" Again I think he has a pretty good idea of the answer.
"Because, it isn't a simple answer and I don't think now is a good time." I hoped he wouldn't try to get me to answer beacause now I was sure I couldn't tell him without crying.
"You promised right?" I nodded "You weren't crossing your fingers?" Again, I nodded. "So, I'm still going to hold you to that promise."
"I wouldn't have expected anything else." After saying that I leaned over a placed a soft kiss on his cheak. Then he moved his hand over towards my hand resting on my thigh, and he gently took my hand in his.

(After the recitle- House, Cameron, Anna, and Anna's mother/House's sister standing around.)
I looked down at the little girl holding Gre-er Dr.House's hand. I'd never imagined Dr.Hou-er Greg (I wonder if I should keep calling him Dr.House or call him Greg) being this kind of uncle, much less teaching his niece to play the piano.
"Maria, Anna, this is Dr.Allison Cameron. Allison," I guess that means I can call him Greg. " this is Marie and Anna." he introduced us. I turned my attention towards Maria and extended my hand, which she shook.
"You are really good at the piano." I told Anna with a smile as I turned my attention back to her.
"Thank you. Uncle Greg taught me how to play."
"Cool, what was the first song you learned to play?" I asked Anna
"Mary had a Little Lamb." She told me. "Come on I'll show you how." She then extended her hand to me, which I took and then she lead me to the piano.

(House and Cameron in the parking lot, walking toward the car)
As we were walking back to the car, I noticed how far apart we were standing, so I decided to change that. I stepped toward him and wraped my arm around his waist. He then put his arm around my shoulders. Since he didn't seem to mind, I rested my head on his shoulder.
We were in front of the car so we let go of each other and I let my hand trail across his back.
The drive back to my apartment was quiet and uneventful, just some casual small talk here and there. When we got to the front of my apartment there was a fire truck and a bunch of firemen.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"I have no idea." was my simple reply.
We got out of the car and I walked toward a firemen.
"What the hell's going on?" I demanded.
