"Dr. Cameron." Grayson called out to her two days later as she left the hospital. She turned to see him.

"Grayson, can I help you?" She asked, she hadn't forgotten him.

He'd been considering this all day who to approach he'd already spoken to Gregory House.

"Can I talk to you?" He asked.

"Are you okay?" She asked concerned.

"Yes. Maybe you could buy me dinner and I can tell you what's going on." He said deciding she was his best route since he'd learned she works for Dr. House.

They were sitting across from each other in a nice diner a couple blocks from the hospital. She was concerned but not afraid of the kid so she might as well find out what was going on with the boy. He gave her a strange feeling though it wasn't bad.

"I need your assurance what I tell you goes no further until I give you permission." He said seriously.

"Alright you have my word as long as it won't hurt anyone. Doctor patient privilege." She offered him and Gray decided that was the best he'd get.

"My mother died two months ago and I was placed with an aunt I had never met. She was how do I put it a puritan fundamentalist. Since I felt no real connection to her I ran for my own sanity." Gray was just telling the story with Cameron just listening letting him get it all out. "I never knew my father, my mother was on her own by the time she had me, but I found a letter she'd once written to him and.."

"Shit." Cameron said when it all clicked. "Your coloring, the eyes and mouth." She said then, "I don't know how I missed it before."

"We often don't see what we aren't looking for." He stated simply. "Gregory House is my father." He said out loud for the first time.

Cameron didn't know how to respond. House couldn't know Gray was his son there had been no recognition. Did he even know he had a son? "Does he know? I mean that he's a father?"

"I don't think so. There was just the one letter and my mom never sent it." He told her as he picked up his sandwich for another bite.

"How old are you?" She asked not knowing that had developed into a touchy subject with him.

"Christ why can't people stop asking me that I'm old enough to take care of myself and be on my own if I decide that's what's best." Gray said harshly in a tone that reminded her of an angry House.

"You can't walk away from him." She said quickly when she realized he was considering that an option.

"I can do what I want." He said.

"He deserves to know. He has a son, and no one ever told him. He's a part of you." She said.

"No he's not. He's a stranger who at one point had sex with my mother." Gray said and Cameron could see the pain in his eyes.

"Then why'd you come?" Cameron asked.

"I'm not stupid I know it would be hard and I'd be missing out on a lot if I did bail and live on my own. I just wanted to see if I had an alternative." Gray said and Cameron just watched him. "I wanted to see what he was like, why my mom never told him or me." He said.

"Now what?" She asked.

"I don't know." He admitted.

"You're not from Jersey?" She asked.

"No." He answered unwilling to elaborate.

"Where're you staying?" She asked.

"At the motel past the university, I have enough." He said referring to money implying he's able to take care of himself.

"I have an extra room." She threw out at him, she couldn't help but offer. He was House's son he shouldn't be staying in a sleazy motel.

"I don't think that's a good idea." He said cautiously.

"I won't turn you in. Let me help you while you decide what to do." She said, she had no doubt he was House's son she'd do whatever was necessary to help him and stop him from leaving.

"Ok." He said.

Later that night at Cameron's apartment she was curled up on her recliner in flannel pants and a tank top while Gray was on her couch in boxers and a t-shirt. There was a mystery on that they were still watching even though Gray had already told her how he thought it would end ten minutes into the show.

"You're like him. You think like him oddly but extremely intelligently." She tried to explain.

"Is he really?" He asked referring to House being smart.

"He's the head of diagnostic medicine, and probably the best in the field today." She told him.

"People don't like him." Gray said but she knew it was a question.

"He doesn't like most people so he alienates everyone. He doesn't let many people in I don't know why." She admitted.

"You like him." Gray said suddenly.

"Yeah he does have friends, good people." She told him referring to her and Wilson, Cuddy, Chase, and even Foreman.

"No I meant, you like him." He said. She looked back at him and his stare was so different and yet his eyes they saw everything just like Houses.

"I like him." She admitted.

"Why?" He asked and she understood he needed to know about the man.

"He's smart, he has his own rules he lives by. He'd risk anything to save a patient." She said and knew that wasn't what he wanted to know. She took a deep breath. "He's witty and sarcastic when he's mean you can tell it hurts him too, well sometimes. He has a belief he needs to and deserves to know everything. He'll say he doesn't care about a patient then stay up all night doing everything possible to save them. He's fun when he lets himself relax. I don't know he's grumpy and coarse but there are times you can see the pain he's masking and I just want to hold him. Well he's got the same body type and coloring as you so you've got to have no problem getting the girls." She said finally finished.

"But his leg." He said.

"It hurts him all the time. I've read about muscle death and seen pictures it's horrible. But he's still a man just with an injured leg as much as it sucks. And the cane can be sexy in an odd way." She smiled.

"You really like him I didn't realize." Gray said surprised and somehow reassured.

"Come to the hospital with me tomorrow." She says.

"If I go back he'll know something's up. He's got to know already but probably just brushed it off. If I go back I don't want to get stuck." He said.

"Come with me." She said again. "Either way he'll be trying to figure out what's going on he can't leave a puzzle unfinished."

"I'm going to sleep." Gray said getting up, and Cameron sighed.
