The word about Joshua's homecoming party had gotten around the office while Cameron was at lunch. Foreman and Chase were talking about attending it since they had nothing else to do tonight. Even though Wilson, Chase, nor Foreman knew Josh, they just wanted to be out instead of stuck at the hospital doing paper work. All Cameron could do was laugh at the three men in the office. They were actually excited about this party. If they were anything like her, she knew that a life outside of the hospital didn't exist. So when an invitation to an event came, you would always jump at the chance to go.

"So who is this Joshua character anyways Cam?" Foreman asked as he poured a cup of coffee.

"A friend." Cameron answered but eyes focused on a figure in the next room. It was hunched over it's desk. She looked back and all three of the guys were staring at her. She knew they wanted to ask what kind of 'friend' she meant, but they were trying to be professional. "Here," Cameron scribbled something down on a piece of paper. "Just come to the party." Cameron pushed the paper close to them and walked into House's office.

"Dr. House," she started to apologize for earlier.

"I know, Wilson has already informed me of the party later tonight. But, darn my luck, I have to go home and wash my hair. Maybe the next time Dr. Cameron." He didn't even look up from his desk when he spoke to her. "But send your boyfriend my love."

Cameron stood there, a little in shock. "You sound jealous."

"I sound busy. Now shut the door when you leave."

The day passed by and Cameron remained in the lab so that she wouldn't have to deal with House at all. If she saw him, she might be tempted to take his cane and run away, leaving him stranded in the clinic. A smile appeared on her face with that thought.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Wilson asked while entering the lab.

Cameron looked up and saw Wilson. "I was just thinking how funny it would be to steal House's cane while he was in the clinic so that he would be stuck there." A smile appeared on Wilson's face.

"I have thought about doing that a million times. But you would have to make sure Cuddy was there so that she could nag him..." Wilson floated off. Cameron knew that he was playing the scene out in his head.

"Is there a certain reason why you are here Wilson, beside planning House's demise?"

"I was just wondering how you were doing with the news?" Wilson straighted up and placed a hand on Cameron's shoulder.

"What news?"

"Oh," then it hit Wilson. 'Nate hasn't told her yet.' "Nothing. Don't worry about it. I, um, I think I hear House coming down the hallway. I better go." Wilson ran out of the lab leaving Cameron confused.

Everyone had left the hospital, except House. He sat at his desk replaying everything Cameron had ever said to him and what he had said to her. He noticed that she took a lot of his crap and he never thanked her for that. Not that he would of course, he still had to maintain his repuation of a hard ass. House picked up his coffee cup and walked into the next room to empty it. On his way out of the office, something caught his eye. He found a piece of paper with Cameron's hand writing on it, it seemed to be directions. House picked the paper up and clutched it in his hands, to go or not to go.

"Joshua, meet Dr. Wilson, Dr. Chase, and Dr. Foreman." Cameron introduced them to each other.

"Pleasure to meet all of you. I always hear kind words about you three, Dr. House, is that his name, he never really get kind words spoken about him." Joshua teased. "Please, make yourself at home. The bar is to your left." Joshua kissed Cameron on the cheek, "Nice to see you love." Joshua reached over and grabbed Nate and pulled him into a long kiss, "and I have missed you. But we must go and play hosts. If we am not back in thirty minutes, save us." Joshua grabbed Nates hand and waltzed over to a crowd.

Chase, Foreman, and Wilson stood beside Cameron stunned. "So Nate and Joshua are..." Chase couldn't finish the sentence.

"Gay, lovers, partners, best friends; yes." Cameron knew she should have warned the guys before the party, but seeing their face was just too priceless. "Sorry I didn't tell you before."

"No, no, it is okay. I'm okay with it." Foreman quickly said. Two 'yeah's' followed Foremans statement.

"You guys don't have to stay if you don't want to. I will understand if you leave. But I think that Nate and Joshua are the only gay men here," Cameron surveyed the crowd. "Except that man over there who is dressed like a woman." She pointed.

"What? She is a man?" Chase looked over to the right. "Dude, she, he, whatever; hit on me earlier." Chase said in a whinning voice.

"So that means that you won't be going home alone then." Foreman teased.
