Chapter 8: "Welcome back House, welcome back..."
Several nurses rushed into House's room, along with Cameron, Foreman, and Chase. "What happened?" Cameron asked. "He just stopped breathing." Wilson replied while putting the oxygen mask on House's face. "Get a trake!" Chase ordered. The four doctors looked over at the monitor. It was slowly decreasing to the straight line once more. "Stat!" Chase yelled. A nurse ran over with the trake and gave it to Chase. He quickly slit a thin line in House's neck, and stuck the trake in. They all looked down at House, nervousness itching at them. All of a sudden they heard the beeping of the monitor, and they turned around. The monitor was rapidly increasing to jagged lines, Chase turned back to Foreman and Wilson, and smiled with relief.
Cameron turned and stared at House, tears streaming down her eyes onto her cheeks, and said, "Welcome back House, welcome back." Cameron took a seat beside House and grabbed his hand. "He'll be okay Cameron, don't worry, he'll be okay." Chase said. Wilson walked over to the door, "Come on you two, let's go to the meeting room." he replied while Eric and Robert followed him. Cameron put her head on House's shoulder and cried. "We almost lost you House, I don't know what I would do with-out you." she said between sobs. "First getting shot, now this? I couldn't stand seeing you that way then, and I can't stand seeing you this way now." she replied while lifting her head up. "Now your just lying there, helpless..., hurt..., in your words, ...broken." Cameron settled back in her chair holding House's hand in her's.
House woke up the next morning with a pain in his neck now. He reached up and touched his neck, and felt a plastic trake. House took a deep, labored, pain-filled breath. Each breath that he took stung and hurt. He slowly turned his head so he wouldn't knock the trake out, and saw Cameron sitting in a chair beside him. "Why do I have a trake in?" he thought. Well the only way to find out was to wake Cameron up. He gently put his hand on her shoulder and started to shake her. She soon picked her head up off the bed and looked at him. Tears began to fill her eyes and slowly fell down onto her cheeks. "You scared me so much." she replied while giving him a hug. "I wish I knew why I scared you." House replied. She slowly let go of him and settled back into her seat, "You stopped breathing, we lost you House. Luckily we got you back, I don't know what I would do if I lost you." She replied. "You would have lived, you can't fix all things that are broken." he replied.
Cameron stared at him in awe. He actually remembered that? "I know, but I'm not trying to fix you." she replied. "Everybody want's to try to fix me." he replied painfully. The trake caused the same feeling as when he breathed, when he talked. "I don't." Cameron replied. Chase, Wilson, and Foreman came into the room. "Glad to see your back among the living...," Wilson said. "Welcome back House." Chase replied. "Yeah man, welcome back." Foreman added. "So, how you feeling?" Wilson asked. "Not so well." he replied. He didn't really want to talk anymore because that caused him pain.
"You feel like eating something?" Wilson asked. House shrugged. "I'll take that as a yes." Wilson replied and went in search of a tray. The four turned into a complete, uncomfortable silence. "So, have you guys gotten any new cases yet?" House asked. "No, not really. Besides you I mean." Chase replied and the four returned into the uncomfortable silence again. "So did you sleep well last night?" Foreman asked. House nodded and smiled at Cameron, "Except for the part where I almost died, or died, however you want to put it." he replied. "What time is it?" he asked. "Twelve-o'clock." Foreman replied. House nodded. just then Wilson walked into the room with a tray. "Well, we need to get back to work, you coming Cameron?" Foreman asked. "Nah, I'm staying here for a little while." she responded while watching the two leave.
"So what did you bring me?" House asked curiously. "Chicken broth and some jello." Wilson replied. House looked disgusted, "Um, I'm not so hungry anymore." House replied and started to scoot the tray away until a hand grabbed it. "You need to eat, so you can regain your strength." Cameron said. House sighed and gave in. He grabbed the spoon and ate most of the broth, then ate the red jello. "Now that wasn't that bad now was it?" Wilson asked. House shook his head 'yes', and turned his head toward Cameron. "If you ever make me eat that stuff again, I will die." House replied. Cameron laughed, "Is that supposed to be a threat?" she asked. "Does it sound like one?" House asked. "I'll make you some soup and bring it to you for dinner if your nice to Wilson." Cameron replied. "Mom, do I have to?" he asked. Cameron nodded her head. Wilson sat in a chair and started to laugh. "I'll tell her if your not Gregory, and I'll eat the soup." he added. House snarled.
"I'm gonna go home and get cleaned up then go to the store, is there anything you need?" she asked. House shook his head. "Remember what I said." House once again shook his head. "Okay, see you later." She replied then left the room. "So, Greg, what was that about?" Wilson asked. "Can't someone ask if you need something from the store?" House asked. "Not if that someone has liked you for years and you don't like her." Wilson replied while pulling out his own lunch.
House's mouth watered. James was eating a cheese-burger and french fries. "Your so evil." House replied. "Am I?" Wilson asked while taking a bite of his burger. James looked out the window, obviously distracted. House grabbed a handful of fries and held them. Wilson turned back around to see House french-fries in hand. "Give those back." Wilson said holding his hand out. "No." House replied and ate one of the fries. "Whatever." Wilson said in defeat and finished his food.
Cameron walked around the grocery store. She had been home till about three and now decided that she should go to the store. She walked over to the cash register. She felt like she was forgetting something. Ah-ha! It came back to her. She quickly walked over to the soup isle and picked up a can of Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup. She smiled thinking of House eating the soup while walking back to the register.
House and Wilson sat there watching a foot ball game at seven-o'clock that afternoon. House had took a nap after he ate while Wilson was doing paper work. "That man is going to fall. I think that their crazy." House said. "You think that every-one is crazy." Wilson replied. Just then Allison walked in carrying a bowl. "Hey." She said while walking over to House. "Hi." He replied. "What's that?" he asked. "Wouldn't you like to know?" she asked while putting the bowl behind her back. "Has he been good for you today?" Cameron asked. House looked at Wilson and shot a pleading glance to him. House was pretty good the whole day..., except for when he ate Wilson's fries. "Pretty good." Wilson replied. "Good." Cameron added while House turned back to her. Cameron pulled the bowl out and gave it to House with a spoon. "Enjoy." she replied. House greedily pulled the lid off the bowl and snatched the spoon out of Cameron's hand. He quickly dug into it.
Within a few minutes, House had ate half of the bowl, and was working on the rest of it. "Slow down, you don't want to get choked." Cameron said. House ignored her and kept eating. "I'll take it away." she added. House heard that, and quickly looked up at her. "You wouldn't." he said. "You want to try me?" she asked. House shook his head and finished his soup slowly.
Wilson watched as House consumed the whole bowl. "Was it that good?" he asked. "No, I just finished a whole bowl of soup just to make you happy." House said sarcasticly. Cameron laughed, "I'll bring more tommorrow." she replied. House nodded. Now that he was full, all he wanted to do was go to sleep. "So Cameron would you like to go home tonight?" Wilson asked. "Nah, I'll stay, you go." she said. "Well, call me if something come's up, allright?" he asked. Cameron nodded while watching Wilson leave.
"So have you really been a good boy to day?" she asked. "It took all the strength I had just to be nice to him." House replied. Cameron laughed, "Maybe you should take a nap." "That would be nice." he replied. "So, are you ready to answer my question yet?" she asked while House closed his eyes. "Still need to think about it abit." House replied. Cameron stroked House's forehead, "That's okay, I'm in no hurry." House smiled, and for the first time he actually fell asleep with a smile on his face. Cameron put her hand in House's as she climbed in the bed. She laid House's head on her shoulder, and she soon too fell asleep.
